00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Foreword Answer, And you know what, as opposed to me

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: just doing a deep dive into this book, I figured

00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: I bring on a guest onto this lovely podcast, the

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: one the only author of The Foreword Answer one, Rob Shooter.

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Hello, hello, Hello, thank you for having me.

14
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: What a lovely introduction. I was frightened then for a

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: minute that you books Andy comin on the show. I

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: know it's such a build up. I was like, why

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: do you interviewed Andy? Hello, Garrett, I love this. I

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: love turning the tables and having you interview me. You

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: can ask any question. We've been doing these names for

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks bonus episodes basically to promote the book.

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Let's be honest about it. But I hope you get

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: a little insight into the show and who we are too.

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Sir Garrett, ask anything you and there is nothing off

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: the record now, Rob shuret or don't you give me

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: leverage like that? I mean, there's no whole bars. I mean, seriously,

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: I could drive this thing right off the cliff. I

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: mean we've talked about this many of times. You've worked

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: with some of the biggest names ever pretty much like

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I could. I could honestly say you have worked with

30
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: someone everyone knows down the list of names. Let's just

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: go over them a real quick Jennifer Lopez, p did he?

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Did he? Sean Combs, however you want to call him,

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Alicia Keys, Jessica Simpson, John bon Jovi or bon Jovi

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: depending on how you want to look at it, British Royalty.

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, so you literally have worked with someone in

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: the world of quote unquote entertainment that at least someone

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: out there is aware of or knows of. Now for

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: you to write a book, let's explain this. The foreword

39
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: answer isn't exactly like a scandalous type book, right right,

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: It's not a tell all. I mean, there's lots and

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: lots of stories in the books of these extraordinary people

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: that I worked with for many, many years. But it's

43
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: not a tell all. I don't sit down and take

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: them apart. In fact, I build them up in the

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: hopes that I build you up to So the foreward

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: answer really comes from a very very basic premise, which

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: is every successful person I've ever worked with, they can

48
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: describe themselves. They know themselves in just a few simple words.

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: In fact, it's probably the most important question, Garrett. You're

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: ever gonna ask who am I? Who are you? And

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: only those are comfortable enough in their own skin no

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: the answer, and only those that know the answer will

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: be successful. So I'm gonna help you discover who you are.

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny just forwards exactly. And and

55
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the funny thing is when you started asking that question,

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: it is kind of awkward at first, do you know

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like when you when you say who

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: are you? I don't think a lot of people think

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: about that, you know, they just they go out throughout

60
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: their day, just you know, doing waking up, having breakfast,

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: going to work, having lunch, and you know, having a meeting.

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: They don't think like, who am I. It's an interesting thing.

63
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: I asked my mommy this before the book came out.

64
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: My mommy is eighty five years old. Hello, Betty low Low.

65
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: She didn't know the answer, and it really sort of

66
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: upset me, upset her too, that she could get to

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: eighty five without ever thinking about that. Nobody had ever

68
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: asked her that before. It took her about a week

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: and we speak every Sunday and she called me back

70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: the following Sunday and before I could say a lower,

71
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: lower low, she gave me her four words and she

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: said she'd been really thinking of at it. And it's

73
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: such a great exercise for us all to do, not

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: just celebrities. Who are you think about that? We all

75
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: deserve an answer, we really do. We know so much

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: about celebrities, about other people in our lives, about friends

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: and family members. This book will make you stop for

78
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: a minute or maybe even four minutes and figure out

79
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: who are you? Who are you when you look in

80
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: the mirror in the morning, look really look and say

81
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: who am I? Answer that question and life gets better now.

82
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: The other thing, I mean again, you said I could

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: ask anything. When you do talk to people, do you

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: always go with the three hellos? The hello hellol level

85
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: level low? It sort of became a way that we

86
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: started this show. So I actually do I mean the

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: nice think about this show, and I think the reason

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: it's become so successful is we are who we are.

89
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, I don't put on that many airs and

90
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: Greece is in my real life, I probably mispronounced even

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: more words than I do on this show. But ultimately, Era,

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: if you see me, I say, I wallower lower this

93
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: very it's never four before, so it's consistent with my

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: whole brand, Dad, But it's a lower lower lower. It's

95
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: no h, it's e l l o e l l

96
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: o e l l ower. We're working on the trademarking

97
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: as we speak, all right, So I mean for your

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: book already to be called one of the best self

99
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: help books ever by Okay magazine, I mean, how how

100
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: cool of a feelings. As you and I have talked about,

101
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: you could never imagine the fact that you would be

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: an author in any part of your life. No, people

103
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: like me don't write books. People like me don't read books.

104
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Like when I went to school, I don't think I

105
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: ever went to the library. I couldn't tell you where

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: the library was in my school. And so to do

107
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: this is just extraordinary and I couldn't have done it

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: if I hadn't worked, had who am I in forwards?

109
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: This book changed my life, It really has, Garrett. I mean,

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: better physical shape I've I've ever been. I'm in better

111
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: mental shape I've ever been. I'm living a really good

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: life now and it's because I'm honest about who I am.

113
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Once you know who you are, you know who you're not,

114
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: and it really guides you towards the life you're meant

115
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: to have. So this book is not gonna turn you

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: into j Low, it's not gonna make you diddy. But

117
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: what it will do, it's gonna make you a star

118
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: in your own life. It really will. You can roll

119
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: out your own red carpet and be a star in

120
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: your own life. It's almost like a push off the cliff.

121
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds very like grotesque in the sense

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: of your pushing us off the cliff. But but but

123
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: really it is. I mean, because how many people just

124
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: stand on that edge of life and going, I don't

125
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: know should I It's not from me, or I'm not

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm not good enough to do it? And you know,

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: sometimes you just need that that encouraging push you do

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: as Lady Gaga sang, You're on the edge of glory

129
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: and now you can make a choice. You can choose

130
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: comfort or you can choose courage. I get it. I've

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: I've picked comfort for many years of my life where

132
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: I sat on the couch and I didn't do it,

133
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: and I thought I was lazy and I wasn't garrit scared,

134
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: and so always pick, always pick courage, and the results

135
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: will bi extraordinary. You know, many people told me I

136
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: can't write a book. I told myself that, who am I?

137
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm not JK Rawling, And I realized you don't have

138
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: to be jk Rawling because I'm not writing Harry Potter.

139
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm writing the forward Answer and I can do it.

140
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: And you can do it too. You can do it. Yeah,

141
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just it just stinks that because

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: you have the British Acts and everyone just assumes that

143
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you have you have Harry Potter, you know, in your blood,

144
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: and you could write nine thousand books, all right. So

145
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: one of the words which I find interesting that you

146
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: you have a connection with all kind of like you know,

147
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: a bridge to all your clients that connect them all

148
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: is kind That's one of the common words you you

149
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: see throughout your your entire career. Explain the word kind

150
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: and how celebrities have used that to help themselves. Yeah,

151
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: it's a word that you don't often put together with celebrities.

152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: You don't think of them as kind, do you? But

153
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: I can promise you that they are but a slightly

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: different definition of kindness. So acceptance is the cornerstone of kindness,

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: it really is. And nobody accepts themselves more than celebrities.

156
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: In fact one, in particular, Jenny for Lopez taught me

157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: how to be comfortable in my own skin, because nothing

158
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: is kinder than accepting yourself. J Lo. She doesn't call

159
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: herself cruel names. It doesn't happen. Those voices we have

160
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: in ahead telling us we're not good enough, we're not

161
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: smart enough, we shouldn't do it. Jlo has managed to

162
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: turn those voices down. I don't know you ever get

163
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: rid of them, but you have to turn the volume

164
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: down on those voices. And the way you do that, Garrett,

165
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: is by being kind. Be kind to yourself. I say

166
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: things to myself where I used to before the foreword answer,

167
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: But I'd never say to a friend, I'm a good guy.

168
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm a kind guy. I'd never call people names, I'd

169
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: never try and hurt a friend. Yet I was saying

170
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: things to myself that were just so cruel, and I

171
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: started to believe them. In fact, I didn't believe them.

172
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I have cut out all those cruel, negative, nasty comments

173
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: that I used to say to myself, and now I

174
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: start the day, I live the day, I end the

175
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: day by being kind to myself. And it's hard, it's

176
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: it's not easy to do to to make those noises

177
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: in your head, those voices, suppressed them in a sense,

178
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: it's and and it's easy for us to go, hey,

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: just do it. It's it's it's not easy, you know,

180
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: and person has their own journey of trying to figure

181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: it out themselves. I think. I think one of the

182
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: things I'm most proud about the book is we don't

183
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: just tell you what you should and shouldn't do. We

184
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: give you actual hard facts, evidence, advice, techniques, methods to

185
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: do this. And so in each chapter, the chapter on kindness,

186
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: we talk about how you can do this, how you

187
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: can be kinder to yourself, how you can turn down

188
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: that negative, nasty voice, which, let's be honest, it's a lie,

189
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: it's not true. You are good enough. And I give

190
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: you examples of people who you might not think of

191
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: that talented, but they're really really successful. Don't make the

192
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: mistake of thinking everybody that is super successful is super talented.

193
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: It's not true. Everybody that's super successful is super kind

194
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: to themselves. They believe in themselves, and I'm gonna make

195
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: you believe in you two. So, another interesting thing that

196
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: we've all fallen victim too because of tabloids and headlines

197
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: and just the way that we see things via the

198
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: internet is the word smart. And you know, we all

199
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: have that one or two celebrities in our life that

200
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: we have seen and be like, they are so smart.

201
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, for for for example, and you know, I'm

202
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call myself out on it. You know, I

203
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: always assumed Jessica Simpson wasn't the smartest of people out there,

204
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, based off of Chicken of the Sea and

205
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: all the all the things on the reality show and

206
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: playing up to the quote unquote quintessential stereotype of dumb

207
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: blonde you know, things like that. But you say that

208
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: is so not true, though, Jessica Simpson is the smartest

209
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: person I have ever met. There, I said it. Jessica

210
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Simpson is a genius and genius. Now, before I met Jesse,

211
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: I thought the same. I don't think should be that smart.

212
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: In fact, I thought that Dixie Blonde she plays on

213
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: TV was who she is. However, it took within maybe

214
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: five or ten minutes of meeting Jesse. I met her

215
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: at a fancy hotel at the Rich Carlton here in

216
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: New York, and within five minutes of sitting in her

217
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: I think it was a three thousand dollar aus suite

218
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: room she was staying in, I figured out, you know,

219
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: she's really really smart. But I gotta say, the thing

220
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: that makes Jessica so smart is her definition of being

221
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: smart is revolutionary. Jess argues, the only thing that makes

222
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: your smart really smart is the willingness to try. So

223
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: it's not where you went to school, it's not which

224
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: books you read. Jessica thinks, the only thing that makes

225
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: any on smart, including herself, is the willingness to try.

226
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Let me tell you a secret. Smart people fail all

227
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: the time, Garrett, all the time they fail. In fact,

228
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I think it was Michael Jordan's doing research for the book,

229
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: I found out that Michael Jordan's had missed nine thousand shots,

230
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: yet he kept ongoing and is considered one of the greats.

231
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: So smart people lose. They fail all the time. Jessica

232
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: once said to me, and I love this quote. The

233
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: road to success is paved with failure. Jesse has failed

234
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: so many times, but she gets back up and she

235
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: gives it another try, and when she gets back up,

236
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: she starts all over again with a positive mindset. She

237
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: thinks about winning, not losing. And I'm going to teach

238
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: you how to do that in the forward answer, which

239
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: is so interesting too, because like you said, the first

240
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: five minutes that that stereotype that you had of Jessica

241
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: sentence went away. And and not to say that that

242
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: all it takes is we need to meet these clebrities

243
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: for five minutes. But you just gotta understand that there's

244
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: more to it than just the facade that we see.

245
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: So we scroll on the internet. Right. She's so smart.

246
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: She plays into that role like I've been with her

247
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: in Limos, where she deliberately puts a little bit of

248
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: lipstick on her teeth, so when she gets out the

249
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: press are like, oh, Jazz, oh, it's that what Her

250
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: hair might not be perfect, or she might trip in

251
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: those high heels, and I'm like, did you do that

252
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: a purpose? And she gives me a wink. I asked

253
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: her to about the Chicken of the s moment, a

254
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: famous moment from from her reality show. She knew what

255
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: she was doing. She exactly what she was doing, and

256
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: so playing ditzy does not make you ditzy. She's the

257
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: smartest person I've ever met. I grew up not feeling

258
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: very smart, Garrett. I really did, because I didn't get

259
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: very good grades in school. Either didn't treat me like

260
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: I was that smart, and I actually made the mistake

261
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: of thinking smart was in your DNA. You were either

262
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: born smart or you weren't, and I wasn't. And then

263
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: I did the worst last thing you can ever possibly do.

264
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: I just stopped trying. Now that's the definition of making

265
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: a stupid move. Keep trying. It's only later on in

266
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: life that I realized, looking around the room at some

267
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: of the most successful people in the world, they didn't

268
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: have a great education. They didn't go to a good school.

269
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Ellen dropped out of school, Steve Jobs dropped out of school.

270
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: We have tons and tons of people in the book

271
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: that I detailed never even graduated, but they went on

272
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: to change the world, and what made them smart was

273
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: their willingness to try. Let's let's face it, one of

274
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: the richest men in the world, Jeff Bezos, decided to

275
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: set up a little company in his garage. It turned

276
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: into Amazon. The smart choice there was believing in himself

277
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: and trying this book. Garrett has become so successful. I'm

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: so thrilled. I didn't expect this, but the reason it

279
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: has is I tried. You won't believe the amount of

280
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: people that told me not to do it wasted my time.

281
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: I didn't listen to them. I did the j Lo technique.

282
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I turned down that nasty voice of those nasty comments.

283
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: I was kind to myself and then I was smart

284
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: enough to do the work. And now a number eleven

285
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: on the charts and growing and growing. It doesn't stop

286
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: at eleven. I mean, I'm not done. I Am not

287
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: going to shut my mouth and end this podcast until

288
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: we get to number one. Now it might take a

289
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: little while from from the time we posted this podcast,

290
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get there. Rob Shuter, Let's talk about

291
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: another client of your former client of yours who, when

292
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: talking about being smart, I would have assumed that you

293
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: were talking about this person first, But this person has

294
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: taught you something else about being important, and that would

295
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: be one did he a KA Shawn Combs a K.

296
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: Puffy a K A whatever he's at right now, but

297
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: tell us about how did he taught you how to

298
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: be important? It's amazing. It's a word that I would

299
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: never ever pick for myself, helf, but you have to

300
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: believe you are important, and Puffy taught me that. Puffy

301
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: taught me the most important person in your life is you,

302
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: and when people don't treat you like you're important, you

303
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: have to leave. Puffy was an amazing client to have.

304
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: I should have been paying him. He was paying me

305
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: a fortune to be his publicist. But I learned so

306
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: much more from him. I I learned from Puffy the

307
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: rejections a gift. He never got upset when he got

308
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: rejected because he would argue, all rejection does is guide

309
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: you to the path that is right for you. The

310
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: next time somebody says no, don't don't feel sad, don't

311
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: feel embarrassed. Realize you know what rejection is re direction.

312
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: And that's what I learned from Puffy. He was an

313
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: extraordinary character. I call him Puffy when I was cross

314
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: with him. When he upset me, I called him Sean

315
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: like his mother his mom, Sean, did you use the

316
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: whole name like Sean Jean Combs? Like just sure? And

317
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: that shoot him a look, we on paper have nothing

318
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: in common. I like show tunes. I'm a silly, gay

319
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: British boy and he's the coolest cat. How dare you

320
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: He's the He's the coolest cat in New York City.

321
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: But he taught me that I was important and I

322
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: was important to him. I was important to his business.

323
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Treat people like they are important. I've got a really

324
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: good example about this. So when my book was released,

325
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: it was actually leaked to page six, a gossip page

326
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: in New York that I was writing this book, and

327
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: it could have gone either way. Page six are such

328
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: good reporters that I was a bit scared. I was like,

329
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: oh gosh, this is gonna be trouble. They wrote a

330
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: really really lovely story about the book, and it's set

331
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: up the sales beautifully, and I was very very grateful

332
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: for it, and I tried to figure out how that happened.

333
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: The guy that wrote it used to work for me

334
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: about ten years ago, and he told me that I

335
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: made him feel important when he really to most people

336
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: wasn't always treat people like they're important because they are,

337
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: they will be, they can be. I've been waiting a

338
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: decade to do something nice to you because you made

339
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: me feel important. Make everybody feel important. That's amazing, and

340
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: you know what to you know, I've never really told

341
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: you this, a rab shooter, but you know you have

342
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: done the same for me in the sense of you

343
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 1: are just a friend in general, and you are that.

344
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: You know, hey, let's let's just talk or what's going on?

345
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: You know you you always find a way to reach

346
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: out and just be you know, work aside, just be normal,

347
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Just be kind, smart, treat

348
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: people like they're important. We've all got these magical phones

349
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: in our hands, which has really become my superpower. It

350
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: takes me thirty seconds to text people like text all

351
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: my friends. I try to check in with people I

352
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: love at least once a week, and just the nice

353
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: text letting, letting somebody know that they're important, that you're

354
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: thinking about them not only changes their day, it changes yours. Garrett.

355
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: Because I was kind to you, because I made you

356
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: feel smart and important. It's one of the reasons we

357
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: have this podcast. Before my heart gave us a daily show,

358
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: you and me were meeting once a week in the

359
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: bowels of goodness nowhere, and we're doing our own little show.

360
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: And that's how we all start. There is an important

361
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: person just around the corner who is waiting to meet you.

362
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: Be smart enough to recognize that, yes, exactly, And we're

363
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: having some fun and we're learning a lot about the

364
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: foreword answer from you too as we break it down

365
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: to But also Pole, you've worked at so many celebrities

366
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: and and you've heard so many things, words of wisdom,

367
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: stories that that some that you'll probably take to the

368
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: grave and then releasing the book after the grave. What

369
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: are some of your favorite celebrity quotes that that that

370
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: that have stuck with you, that you know still put

371
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: a smile on your fear. Yeah, they change every day.

372
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: And one of the nicest things about the book is,

373
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: as well as me rattling on and on and on,

374
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: there's tons of celebrity quotes in the book to inspire

375
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: you today. I think my favorite quote of the day

376
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: interest every day is something did he told me? Did

377
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: he said? Quote? If you're chasing your dreams. You're not

378
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: running fast enough. Stop chasing them and catch them. I

379
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: promise you your dreams are closer than you think, and

380
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: you can move a lot faster than you ever thought.

381
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be a published author, that dream

382
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: just felt too far away. So instead of focusing on

383
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: writing a book, I wrote a page and at two pages,

384
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: then it turned into a chapter. You can do it

385
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: step by step. Don't think about the marathon. Think about

386
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: step by step, and I promise you you will get there.

387
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: So as much as I want to thank did He,

388
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: I also want to thank you too for that quote,

389
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: because you have told me that on several occasions, and

390
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: I knew that it was one of your favorite quotes,

391
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: and just recently too. And I don't know if it's

392
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: because you've been saying it more often because of the book,

393
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: but it's stuck with me to the fact that it

394
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: literally had pushed me to to an opportunity to get

395
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: on television and do something with Extra based off of

396
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,120
