My fiance is 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: originally from Augusta, and I met my fiance in La 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: when we were both doing the entertainment thing and you know, 44 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: his family's out here. His parents are a little older, 45 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: So we wanted to come out here, settle out here, 46 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: so if they ever need us, they ever needed him, 47 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: we could be closer to just be there for them 48 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: of any assistance that they might need. 49 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: Good. So let's talk about the entertainment thing, you know, 50 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: the entertainment thing, you know, like, yeah, you know, so 51 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: obviously like myself, you know, I dabbled into entertainment stand 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: up comedian, thought I'd be the next Eddie Burphy, Bill, 53 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: you know, Richard Pryor and you know, but in the end, 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: I realized that my true calling was you know, producing, 55 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, being able to see talent and brand products 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: or talents and build those ideas and create change. And 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: so that was that was my shift. What was your 58 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: entertainment town that drew you to Los Angeles? 59 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: Well, so I grew up as a competition kid. I 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: had been dancing my whole life, and it just seemed 61 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: like a natural progression to get into the dancing professionally. 62 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: And it's something that I love to do, something that 63 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: I always knew. So originally, when I turned nineteen, I 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: went out to LA I got an agency and within 65 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: two months of signing with that agency, I was touring 66 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: the world with an artist, dancing worldwide, you know, backup 67 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: dancing and everything like that, which was such a blessing. 68 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: I was in college at the time, but it was 69 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: like a once in a lifetime chance. I'm like, you 70 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: know what, I'm just gonna put that on a whole 71 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: lidlen drop out and do my thing and see where 72 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: this could go. And from the tour when I got back, 73 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: I started doing TV shows and commercials, and then from 74 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: there I got into acting naturally, from commercial from a 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: commercial world, from dancing and started taking acting classes. Loved it, 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: and then from the acting classes, I started doing some 77 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: shows Can there how to co star? A couple of 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: co stars, and then you know, just just started doing 79 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: the whole thing, you know, the commercial acting and then 80 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: doing the didn't quite make it in the movies that 81 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: I was so close, you know, a mail on a 82 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: veil for all these different things, which is amazing. I 83 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: love entertainment, but similar to you, I I just for me. 84 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: I just felt like I needed to do something more. 85 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: I had always my whole life just well, let's. 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Let's talk about that little transition 87 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know, you know, there 88 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: was success for you in entertainment, yes, but there was 89 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: also a lot of frustration. Okay, you know, and I 90 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: know because that was in my line. Because anytime you 91 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: can walk in the room and you see you go 92 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: in for an audition, I'm just tell everybody how it works. 93 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: You know, you go in and they tell you come 94 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: into audition walking room. It's fifty people and now I'm 95 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: looking like you right, so right there, you don't know 96 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: what they want. And that's the part that frustrated me. See, 97 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: I'd like to know that I got a shot at something. 98 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: But then I had some friends who worked all the time, 99 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: but I wasn't working. You know, I was working as 100 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: a stand up but I wasn't working as a commercial 101 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: actor or theatrical actor. Theatrical actors sitcoms and movies and 102 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: all that stuff in theater. And so that's the part 103 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: that I went, I cannot allow industry to dictate me 104 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: based on how they feel or how I look. That's 105 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: the part that frustrated. 106 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: Me, right, yes, yes. 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on that? When you hear me 108 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: talk like. 109 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: That, Paris, Oh my gosh, I mean, it's like looking 110 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: in the mirrors. That's how I felt, you know. And 111 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: I will say I loved the process of auditioning when 112 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: I was doing it consistently. I loved going into those rooms, 113 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: even though I was nervous, so nervous, There's just something 114 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: about it that just this adrenaline rush that just it 115 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: felt good. And I love people, so going into these 116 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: scenarios where I'm meeting different casting directors and whatnot, I 117 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: loved making those connections. And I always had a great 118 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: time in the room and always had pretty much. I 119 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: can't there's been those auditions where I just bomb completely 120 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 2: and just lost all of the lines that I had. 121 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: But pretty much all of the auditions that I did, 122 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: I felt good connections with the casting directors and you know, 123 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 2: I was given those directions. So I will say that 124 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: I have had very positive experiences with auditioning. However, the 125 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: things like you I just I would get so close 126 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: to these auditions, being on a veil for months and 127 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: just knowing that this is my big break, I'm gonna 128 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: do it. I'm gonna be a movie star. They end 129 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: up going with like a name or celebrity or someone 130 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: that has more followers than you just things like that, 131 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: and it just really started to kind of it starts 132 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: to kind of wear on you a little bit, you know, 133 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: and it starts to dim your life a little bit. 134 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: And me, I find so much security, like just in 135 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: knowing and I know that we're not always in control 136 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: of our lives and everything like that.

And so now I'm on our show 157 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: called Money Making Conversations Masterclass. So Paris, you have a 158 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: brand called full Bloom. It's full Bloom if you l 159 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: L Bloom, tell us about that. 160 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: Well, so what happened Just it's interesting how it kind 161 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: of played out. But I started Full Bloom about three 162 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: years ago now. But what how I started it? When 163 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: the pandemic happened, I was working with a casting director 164 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: and I was actually working on a show and it 165 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: was amazing because I was actually one of the leads 166 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: on that show. But then they just never ended up 167 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: coming out because of just I don't know, the producer 168 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: pulled out or something like that. So anyways, when the 169 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: pandemic happened, the casting director that had booked me for 170 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: that show reached out to me and said that there 171 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: was an opportunity. And you know, this platform was trying 172 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: to diversify, so they were onboarding creators and I was 173 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: initially onboarded to this platform to you know, just kind 174 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: of share my story with other people, just to provide 175 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 2: inspiration and motivation for whoever. And so I got on 176 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: this platform, I started posting videos mother gay. Well you 177 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: know there's nothing else to do. We're in the pandemic. 178 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: Everyone's just home doing nothing, So let me just do this. 179 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: And I was posting affirmation journal proms for people to 180 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: use a resource because we just had so much time 181 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 2: in that moment to sit with ourselves. 182 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: So because you're a fast talker, parents, I know you've 183 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: been told weberfore you can talk fast. 184 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: My mom's New York. 185 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: Okay, we do, you said, San Diego.

Okay, okay, cool 187 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: now California speed now you Now you started, this was 188 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: a platform, and it was a motivational platform soon because 189 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: you talk about affirmations and videos and. 190 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: And uh it was not necessarily so the platform was TikTok. 191 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: So they had the time so known as Yeah, they 192 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: were known as like the dance platform, you know, like 193 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 2: everyone's just on their dancing. But they were looking to 194 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: diversify their content because they wanted to be and now 195 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: they are more than just a dance platform. People go 196 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 2: there for a number of things. 197 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: So so it's a dance platform that they brought you on. 198 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: They want to diversify the content. 199 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 2: Yes, so they did not I won't say that they 200 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: were strictly a dance platform, but that's what they were 201 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: known for, okay, okay hmm, So they just wanted to 202 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: just bring more to the platforms. So it just had 203 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 2: just different niches and genres, if you will. And so 204 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: I was on board, as you know, motivation, and I 205 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: started posting videos and I started with affirmations and then 206 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: general prompts with people, Like I said, could just have 207 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: something to do with all the time that we had 208 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: on our hands during that time in the pandemic. And 209 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: I didn't realize how many people actually needed that. Because 210 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: self development, general prompt, self discovery, that's something that I've 211 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 2: always been just within my own journey. I've always done 212 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: because it was just so necessary something an outlet for 213 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: me in the intercim industry to always come back to 214 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: self because you can get so lost in all these 215 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: you know, the judgment, all those things. So anyways, it 216 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: resonated with a lot of people when I started posting 217 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: on TikTok, and I grew my following from zero. I'm 218 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 2: now around two hundred thousand followers on TikTok. But it 219 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 2: just became something that people just I guess that resonated 220 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: with them and something that they looked forward to. And 221 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: so I built my following or my community based upon 222 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: you know, self help and wellness and you know, like 223 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: I said, inspiration motivation. And so with that being said, 224 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 2: my journal prompts and affirmations, it just always played over 225 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 2: so well with people, and I had people reaching out 226 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: to me saying like this is amazing and you don't 227 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: understand how much you have helped me within my own journey. 228 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: And I just want to say if let's say, if 229 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: you if you sold these prompts, I would totally buy it. 230 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: And my mind, I never thought about, you know, creating 231 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: a resource for anyone to just to buy. And I'm like, 232 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: you know what, that's actually a great idea and maybe 233 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: I can put something together and you know, we'll see 234 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: what happened. So I started full Bloom on my company 235 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: so I could just have a name and have a business. 236 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: What why full bloom? Why full bloom? Why is that 237 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: the name of your company? 238 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: Full Bloom? I love plants, and I just feel as 239 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: though we are just journeys, journey wise and just just 240 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: life wise. It's just so similar to plants, you know, 241 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: in a way, because plants are just you know, you 242 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: have to put it in the right environment. You have 243 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: to give it the right nutrients, you have to give 244 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: it the right you know, just you know, the water, 245 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 2: just just take care of it in a way to 246 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: where if it's not in the right environment, it's not 247 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: gonna thrive. 248 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: Right. 249 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: And so within people, ourselves, our lives, if we're not 250 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 2: in the right environment, the right headspace around the right people, 251 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: we're not gonna thrive. And so if we're in the 252 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: right environment and nurturing ourselves in a way that's just 253 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: empowering us, uplifting us and just giving us, like putting 254 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: good and positivity into us, we're gonna thrive and we're 255 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: gonna bloom, which is like the most beautiful versions of ourselves. 256 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: And so I just thought full Bloom was perfect because 257 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: it just it just encapsulates all this stuff everything, you 258 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 2: know that it's just that I believe and I know 259 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 2: to be true. So full Blooms And yeah, it's name, 260 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: that's the name. But I created a resource, a diat 261 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: journal called back to Me, the Journey Back to your Self, 262 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: and it's just over three hundred and sixty five prompts 263 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: for over a year, and it's just a prompt day 264 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: that people can use. And then you also have a 265 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: space for affirmation, so you can write a positive affirmation. 266 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 2: But things like that to just really nurture your relationship 267 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 2: with self and go on that self discovery journey, find 268 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: that self love, taking care of yourself or self care, 269 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: all those things. And I created that DIA journal about 270 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: three years ago, and you know, it has just it 271 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: it's history now, like it's like the rest is history 272 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: is I'm trying. 273 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: So you're saying that that has become a money maker, 274 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: that's what you're saying, parents. 275 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't like to think of it like. 276 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: Money making.

And 280 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: that's important to understand that because that's called engagement. Now. Now, 281 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: the inspiration behind this when you look at social media, 282 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: two things are very popular on social media. Food and inspiration. Okay, 283 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: I know because I'm involved in both of them.

She found a full Bloom 304 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: to remind others that having a clear sense of selfish 305 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: imperative when facing adversity, rejection and negativity that happens a 306 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: lot in our world. How have you say bottled it? 307 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: But how you using that and twisting it and making 308 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: it positive for people who need to hear what you 309 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: have to say?

And 312 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: you know, that's that's where what I started with with 313 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: my social media, like my TikTok and everything like that. 314 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: I've just always been so honest with what I had 315 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: gone through. And we talked about the entertainment industry, but 316 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 2: just all the things that I had to deal with, 317 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: and I won't say like just the rejection that happens, 318 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: and that's just the natural, you know, circumstances that you 319 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: go through within the industry. Like I said, it just 320 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: starts to wear on you a little bit. And sometimes 321 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: when I was going through and I just really started 322 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: to question my my talents, my skills, myself, like man, 323 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: am I not talented enough? Am I not pretty enough? 324 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: But then what I found for myself just always like 325 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: I said, journaling, just you know, knowing my strengths, knowing 326 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: my weaknesses, and owning that and just loving every aspect 327 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: of myself and just really being able to have a 328 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: clear sense of self with what has kept me so 329 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: mentally strong and motivated to just, you know, regardless of 330 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: what I pursue, it's just a matter of what I'm 331 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: putting into it and how I view myself. And I've 332 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 2: just brought that to my platform and just it resonated 333 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 2: with people. And I think when we're talking about inspiration, 334 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: people are looking for inspiration. I think the biggest thing 335 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: is people are looking for real people that they can 336 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: see and say, Okay, I can do that too. And 337 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: so with social media, you know, there's always a facade. 338 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 2: People will post all of their their their wins and 339 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 2: sever their losses, and it's just it comes off so 340 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 2: dis genuine. And when you're finding people that are able 341 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 2: to post all aspects themselves. And I'm not saying you 342 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: have to post your whole life and put your whole 343 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: life out there, because I don't even do that because 344 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: it's just it's my life and I there still needs 345 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: to be some bound with and that. But I give 346 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: people just my losses as well, you know, because I'm 347 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: human just like everyone else, and so when people are 348 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: able to see that and be like, Okay, but how 349 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: did she bounce back? And she was able to bounce back? 350 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 2: So that inspires others to do that too, and so 351 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: you know, that's that's how I kind of pivot and 352 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: use my stories to inspire others now. 353 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: And now part of that is journally, you know, these journals. 354 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: How did that become the thought proces? Because was it 355 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: something you was doing personally and now you're sharing the 356 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: philosophy with your followers and anybody who who? Other people 357 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: recommend to buy your Booth journals because both it's hard 358 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: back and it's also digital. 359 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: Correct yes yes, yes, yes, yes yes. So that, like 360 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 2: I said, that's just something that I just have used 361 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: throughout my whole life and that has always helped me 362 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: within you know, sometimes within my own mind, there's just 363 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: so much going on, and journaling has always been a 364 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: tool to just kind of let it out, you know, 365 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: letting my thoughts out, and really with the guide in 366 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: journal that I have a lot of us we have, 367 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 2: you know, these thoughts, so sometimes we don't we have 368 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: these questions that we don't even know to ask ourselves 369 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: and what we know, what we want to even try 370 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: to figure out within ourselves. And so this guided journal 371 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: is a really great tool because it gives you a 372 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: prompt a day questions that you probably wouldn't even think 373 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: to ask yourself, like I said, and it's just there, 374 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: and you know, it allows people to have a deeper 375 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: level of reflection and allows them to just look at 376 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: so many different aspects of their life, within themselves, within 377 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: their friend groups, within you know, whatever it is, their 378 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: own career, like are you happy, Like is this something 379 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: that maybe that you truly wanted to pursue or is 380 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: it something that you kind of felt not forced into, 381 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: but just kind of guided into, if you will. Like 382 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: for me, I know, you know, my parents wanted me 383 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: to be like a doctor, and that wasn't something that 384 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 2: was that I was truly interested in. You know, Entertainment 385 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: was always there because it's what I knew and what 386 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 2: I love. And so it just allows people to just 387 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: kind of think of their life from some of different 388 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: angles and it's just it's a helpful tool, and it 389 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: continues to be a helpful tool. And that's why I 390 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: continues to just the journal itself is just so successful. 391 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: Right, you know, when I think about it, I'm joining 392 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: this protege program and for my company, and I realized 393 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: that I'm not a person who writes things down, and 394 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: they forced me to, you know, basically journals thing every month. 395 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: They ask me what I'm doing, what I'm doing, what 396 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing it. Then I have to tell them what 397 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: I'm doing. And what I've discovered is that I'm better 398 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: for it. And so because it forces me to think 399 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: about the process, think about the experience of what I'm 400 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: going through. And then it also I believe enhances my 401 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: communication with my employees. So what you're talking about really 402 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: I'm doing, but I'm doing it from a corporate standpoint, 403 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: but it's enhancing my overall relationships with the people that 404 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: I communicate on a daily basics, which my employees as 405 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: well as my clients. And so those affirmations and those 406 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: motivation tools that you have really can be applied as 407 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 1: to in an entrepreneurial space. 408 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: Correct, absolutely absolu. 409 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: Now with that being said, entrepreneurs, you you are an entrepreneur. 410 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: You started a business. Did you have a budget, did 411 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: you have an idea of what type of revenue you 412 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: is going to generate? Or you just you know, jumped 413 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: out there on faith. 414 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: I wined it the entire way. I continue to win it. 415 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: You know, come on Fars, you're my motivating queen. 416 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: You know, I just I just said, it's just what 417 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 2: I'm being honest. You know. When I started the business, 418 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 2: I had the vision for it, but with being new 419 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: to business completely, it's just you know, when you try 420 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: to go to banks with just you have a vision, 421 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 2: but I not necessarily not having the financial just I 422 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: guess record if you will to just show like, Okay, 423 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 2: I'm looking for a loan for this much I entertain that. 424 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 2: I went to my bank that I've been banking with 425 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: for years, and immediately they're like, you know, you have 426 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 2: to show this much income revenue within your business within 427 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: the first year and we can give you that. I'mount 428 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 2: and it just wasn't usible, and so I used my 429 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: own funds what I was comfortable was putting into the business. 430 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: And I was just like, you know what, this is 431 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: something that I truly believe in. And if I believe 432 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: in it, like I said before, like it's just you 433 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: have to be confident within yourself and within whatever it 434 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: is that you're doing and know that it's a good 435 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 2: quality product and I can't stress quality enough because I 436 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 2: paid more than certain people would, you know, for their 437 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: first product initially, But I am such a firm believer 438 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: in you if you can speak behind your quality then 439 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 2: and people will appreciate it. So anyways, I put my 440 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 2: money into the business not really knowing what was going 441 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: to happen. But I knew I had two things. I 442 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 2: knew I had a really good product, and then I 443 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 2: knew I had a really good community and that it 444 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: was a resource that people were looking for. And so 445 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 2: I was going to leverage my community, not just my community, 446 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: but just my my platform that I had, and just 447 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: use that to market my product. And so you know, 448 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: within a few months of me just putting it out there, 449 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 2: I sold out and I'm like, Okay, let me just 450 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 2: make sure that wasn't a fluke product. And you know, 451 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: I tried it again and it happened again. I'm like, Okay, 452 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: this is something. We have something here, and so I 453 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: just continue with the money that I make from the product. 454 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 2: I just just try to double up every time with 455 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: how much inventory I'm able to get and which it it. Initially, 456 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 2: I was bummed out because I wasn't being able to 457 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: get a loan from a bank. But I think in 458 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: the line grown for me from my vision for my business, 459 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: it was beneficial because it's all within like my hands, 460 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: like I would put this into this the product in 461 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: my business, and so I'm not having to deal with 462 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 2: these crazy interest rates and just what I'm making from 463 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: the product initially, I just you know, put it back 464 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: into my business. And like I said, I keep trying 465 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 2: to double up my inventory to just get continue to 466 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 2: make more revenue. So like I said, I I wind 467 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: it and I did the best that I could. I 468 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: reached out to people when I had questions and gained 469 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: as much knowledge as I could and just use that 470 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 2: and it's been working extremely well. And yeah, so you know, 471 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: sometimes I think a lot of us think we need 472 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 2: to have the full package before we actually, you know, 473 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 2: pursue something. But I am just you know, I am 474 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 2: the proof that sometimes all you have to do is 475 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: just just start. And I am such a believer if 476 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 2: you take the steps and you're working hard and trying 477 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 2: to get as much knowledge as you can, that the 478 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 2: resources and the people and what you need will find 479 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: you along the way and it's gonna work out.
