He left me for my secretary and 179 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: told me to take my time now while I was 180 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: out of there in the moment, as you would be too. Yeah, 181 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: And I started the Corcoran Group because that was my 182 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: first little business, and it lasted seven years until he 183 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: married my secretary, and then I went on to start 184 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: the Corkoro unbelievable. 185 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wondered navigating that change of life and change 186 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 2: of financial status. How you manage that with people, because 187 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: people change and your life changes, and how you operate 188 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: through the world changes. 189 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: It's really is a challenge, you know. I judge friendships. 190 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: It changes relationships clearly. If you have money, it changes relationships. 191 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: It changes your relationship with your siblings. You don't want 192 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: it to. I have my siblings, they want nothing from me, 193 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: and we're all still close, but it's still different. I'm 194 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: seen as different than them. It changes my relationship with 195 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: new friendships. You wonder what they're after. It changes my 196 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: relationship with dating. You wonder what this guy really wants. 197 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: You know, it does. It makes you have to stop 198 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: along the way and pause and say, let me be 199 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: careful here. And that's a shame that you can't take 200 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: things on face value, because I very much am a 201 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: person that takes things on face value my whole life. 202 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: So it conflicts with it in way. 203 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: I totally understand that I have a couple of friends 204 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: that are far wealthier than me. 205 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: You're always aware they're wealthy, and I'm. 206 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: Always aware they're wealthy, and I always treat that. I 207 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: also have friends that are more, way more famous than yes, 208 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: and it's the same, almost the same situation exactly. As 209 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: a friend, I want to sometimes protect these people because 210 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: I see all the sharks circling. And if you actually 211 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: are a good person, you have to have boundaries up 212 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: and you have to be careful how you navigate those waters. 213 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: But it's nice that you feel that way about your friends, 214 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: that you want to protect them. My good friends protect me. 215 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: They're much more critical of new friendships and who comes 216 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: into my life than I would ever be. Really, they're 217 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: quick to speak up. It's almost like I'm their territory. 218 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, though that's good. That means you chose well. 219 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I. 220 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: Would think you'd have you'd be really good at boundaries. 221 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: Am I good at boundaries? Not really. I'm not good 222 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: at saying no. If you ask me for money today, 223 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: I will give it to you without a doubt how 224 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: much you want. 225 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: Well, I do have two ideas, So if you wanted 226 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: to come in on the you have a whole opportunity 227 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: to give people money. You did that for years on television. 228 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know a funny thing. Damon John, who's 229 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: my good friend games sweetheart. He gave me the best 230 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: advice when I first sold my business. He said to me, 231 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: you'll find everybody has a ten thousand dollars problem. And 232 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: he was right and the best move I ever made. Actually, 233 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: when I sold my business, after I gave away many 234 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: ten thousands is my accountant said tell them it talk 235 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: to me and if it's okay with me. Of course 236 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: you could invest. He never okayed anything. That's a perfect 237 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: He was a bad guy. I had to create my 238 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,479 Speaker 1: boundary through other people. I don't have it on my 239 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: myself because I'm very I could always empathize with the 240 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: other person's position more than I could see my own, 241 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: and so always my answer is yes, of course, yes, 242 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: of course yes. 243 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: So the back to the relationship with money thing. I 244 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: think people probably struggle with this all the time. For me, 245 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: I never I was never educated properly on how to 246 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: use it, how to spend it, how to save it, 247 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 2: what to do. So I always feel insecure about it. 248 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: So if something happens and I make a surprising amount 249 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: of my what was that? 250 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if something else wrong, I think the worst worse. 251 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: But I'm also scared of it, and I don't I 252 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 2: blow I blow it, I don't strategize. Probably well, well, you. 253 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Seem like you less confidence more than anything else. I 254 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: bet you're a lot better than you think you are. 255 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: You think so. 256 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: I think so. Most people are a lot better than 257 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: they think they are at everything. And I think this 258 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: is when you want to look at a new and wonder, really, 259 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: how good you are at it. You can get to 260 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: where you were without being good at it, you just 261 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: don't do it. 262 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: Also, now I feel like there's so much information at 263 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: every turn. It's like it's like dieting a wellness it's 264 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: seventy five thousand different ways to get to be healthy. 265 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, But the same thing with the money thing. Always, 266 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: all of that self help stuff doesn't include anything called 267 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: your own intuition, trusting your own intuition and feeling right 268 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: and feeling wrong to you. I think that's a big 269 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: card that's overlooked, is the intuition. And I'm sure you're 270 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: using your intuition and you're managing your money, whether you 271 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: want to admit it or not. Well, give me your money. 272 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: I'm going to manage it for you. 273 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: You will you have time for this. 274 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: I'll probably lose it. 275 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: You have time for this. I believe I would trust 276 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: it account and I'll keep it. I would actually totally 277 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: give it to you. But to be the thing about 278 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: I wish to get to a place, and I'm sure 279 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: many people feel this way. You wish to get to 280 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: fucking money. You wish to get to that. You don't 281 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: have to do anything you don't want to do. You 282 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: don't have to. You can. If you want to travel, 283 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: you can travel. If you want to do this, you 284 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 2: can do. I guess just the freedom of what money 285 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 2: brings me. 286 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Yes, I would like to get there too. 287 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: This to me sounds crazy to me, Barbara, that you 288 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: don't feel you got to that point. 289 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: No, I almost feel like if I plan like I 290 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: went to the Cayman Islands spontaneously with one of my sisters, 291 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: and I was feeling very badly about going. Thing in 292 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be spending this money so wildly. It's kind 293 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: of irresponsible. I had been working like a dog for 294 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: ten weeks. I was just by vacation. Yeah, so it's crazy, 295 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: but I have not felt comfortable spending a lot of 296 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: money on extemporaneous things that are luxurious. 297 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: Are you not like a material girl? Do you not 298 00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: like shopping? 299 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: No? I hate to shop. I have my few outfits 300 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: that look good. I have my few rooms that look good, 301 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, but I will spend a hell of 302 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: a lot of money on my garden, which I incessantly loved. 303 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: Anything I could get my hands into I love. 304 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: That's great. 305 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: And also my home looks just absolutely beautiful, and I 306 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: do you know what, I am extravagant. I forgot Whenever 307 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: I see a home that I love, when it's twice 308 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: as much as I could afford, I buy it anyway, 309 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: and I know I'll get the money back. You see. 310 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: I realized, after I finish using the home and I 311 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: move on, I'll get all that money back. So for that, 312 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't have to justify it, because I think it's 313 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: a good investment, you see. And it is a good 314 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: investment because I buy smartly. I always buy the best. 315 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: I always get the most money when I sell. 316 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: Hey, guys, today's show is brought to you by hard 317 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: Rock Bet.

I'm sure the sharks were circling early. 354 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: When the worst advice was my mother when I was 355 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: really starting, first starting, she said, why don't you hold 356 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: a good jump for a few years. You're always hopping 357 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: around and get a good resume going. When I told 358 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: her I was going to start my business, definitely the 359 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: wrong advice to wait. You have to when you have 360 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: the business idea, you have to hop on it well 361 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: it's hot, you know, right away, before you figured it 362 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: all out. Because most people who don't start a business, 363 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: sadly is they have to get it right. You don't 364 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: really have to get it right, you just have to 365 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: get the thing going, you know. So that was the 366 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: worst advice. The best advice I got on the other 367 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: side was from my boyfriend. I hate to give him credit, 368 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: but when I was leaving him the day I divided 369 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: the business and half, he said to me, you'll never 370 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: succeed without me. And that was the best advice I 371 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: ever got, because he put a boat in my back 372 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: that I would rather kill than not to succeed, and 373 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: let him watch me. I was like wash and every 374 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: time I went up, bumps and down as businesses, you know, 375 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: I have your highs and your lows all the time. 376 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: It's a roller coaster ride. I would think of his 377 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: words when I was ready to give up and say, 378 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: son of a bitch, I'm not going to give that 379 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: good for you, just because I thought of his words. 380 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: So inadvertently he gave me the best advice of success 381 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: when he wasn't intending it that way. 382 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, what what is? Because business and relationships or starting 383 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: businesses with your especially romantic partners spouses, this can be 384 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: super challenging. 385 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: It's a challenge for any woman making a lot of money. 386 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: It's the hardest challenge is a relationship. I believe I 387 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: know many women that are great bread winners and they 388 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: have difficulty with their spouse who are not and the 389 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: same with me. I married, I've been married twice. I 390 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: was a breadwinner. The first time. My husband quit his 391 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: job on a month after we were married and never 392 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: worked again. 393 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: Wow. 394 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: I divorced him seven years later. And then I married 395 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: my husband who was so active. I didn't think I 396 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: could keep up with him. I thought, finally I met 397 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: a guy who's going to outpace me, and then he 398 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: resigned from everything and he was a stay at home guy. 399 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: So it was very, very hard for me. And it 400 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: really shifts power in a relationship. And that's why it's 401 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: so terribly dangerous, I think, because it really doesn't number 402 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: on the whole relationship. Money money again affecting everything. 403 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: Really, is there a trick to making I mean, you've 404 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 2: made this marriage work, and. 405 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: Well I remain marriage work because of my sheer determination 406 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: and dedication. First of all, my husband be like I 407 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: love dearly, So that makes it a lot easier. When 408 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: you really start out really loving somebody, well, it serves 409 00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: you for a long time. But I think what I 410 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: think I have done very well with my relationship is 411 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: tolerant and also a reality check, like what your bill 412 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: is is what you get. And I spent the first 413 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: three or four years trying to change him, until I 414 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: realized you can't change a guy. You just can't change him. 415 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: You got to either accept him or move on. And 416 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: so I practiced my acceptance. And the things that drive 417 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: me nuts still drive me nuts. But I go, mm hmmm, 418 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: that's all I say. 419 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: It's easier to acceptance. Is easier when you actually like 420 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 2: or when you love, you really love someone, Yeah, And 421 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 2: I think that's that's easier. We talk about that here 422 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: a lot, about the difference between who the person is 423 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: that you choose and what you believe the potential of 424 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 2: the person is. 425 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: And very often that doesn't work out. And as a 426 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: marriage gets old, I really believe you have to change 427 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: your attitude in the marriage totally because circumstance changes. I 428 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: used to think of Bill as the best lover in 429 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: the whole world, and he was at one point. I guess, 430 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: while Bill Higgins, it's so excitedly living and now I 431 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: know everything he's going to do next. Yeah, I know everything. 432 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: But now I think of him as my roommate, my partner, 433 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: my roommate. I don't think him as my lover. And 434 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: it was hard to let that go, you know, that 435 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: old image of like otherwise, if I didn't let it go, 436 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: I'd be measuring against it. But I used to be 437 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: hot and bothered by this guy. I was so crazy. Wise, 438 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: why don't I feel it anymore? But now I just 439 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: think he's a great partner and he's a great roommate, 440 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: he's a lovely man, he's a great dad. So I 441 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: was just my expectations. So I'm not measuring up against 442 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: what it was, and that helps me in the relationship. 443 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: That you let go of the romantic side of marriage. 444 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: Yes, really, well, not totally. I mean what I did, 445 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: which was very important when I moved two times ago, 446 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: like fifteen years ago. So I decided I was going 447 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: to have my own bedroom. Period. There was no ifenzo 448 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: butts about it. When I had my own room, it 449 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: was wonderful because I could invite Bill in. If he 450 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: wasn't wanted, I told him no, thank you, just closed 451 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: the door quietly on his face. But having your own room, 452 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: you can control the romance how much you want of it. 453 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: And as I get older, I want a lot less. Really, yeah, 454 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: for sure. 455 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 2: Was it weird that you have to adjust to that 456 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: because even sometimes you make a decision that feels right 457 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: for you, but because society or what it looks like 458 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 2: to other people, sometimes we will second guess a decision 459 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: like that, even though it feels comfortable. 460 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: Course, even my children, I had to explain why mommy 461 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: and Daddy had a separate room when my friends come in, Oh, 462 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: you have your own room. I think it's half envy, 463 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: but yeah, society will judge you a certain way, like, oh, 464 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: I bet they're never having sex, which isn't true. But 465 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: we're just having it by invitation, which is more occasional 466 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: than it used to be. 467 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 468 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: So, yes, you do feel that pressure from society, but 469 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't really care so much. I really want to 470 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: have my own space in my own room. 471 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 2: I think we should all aspire to live a life 472 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: that is true to what serves us yes, and not 473 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 2: expected or yeah. And I think that's, like you said, 474 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: that's where people go wrong, trying to fit into a 475 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: box that doesn't work for you. 476 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, every wear shoes are too tight. It's terrible. That's 477 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: the same kind of thing. 478 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that. Do you do that in other areas? 479 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 2: I would imagine even in business, right, like just non 480 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 2: traditional thinking and sure, but now. 481 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: I realized years ago, that nobody's really watching and nobody 482 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: really gives a damn what you're doing, so you might 483 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: also do what you want to do. And so I 484 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: would always just follow my gut as to what felt 485 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: right for me. And even the naysayers, which were saying 486 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: terrible things at first and the end, they were my 487 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: best cheerleaders, saying how smart I was, so they forgot 488 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: you know, so you just I think you have to 489 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: say true entirely too. 490 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: You are When was there a moment when you learned that? 491 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 2: Did you not? 492 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: You always right that moment And it doesn't sound very 493 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: fancy or anything, but it was just hit me in 494 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: a weird way. I was at the real estate Board 495 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: of New York, which was where all the power players were, 496 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: and I was competing with all the Old Boy network 497 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: and they were powerful. They owned the market, they had 498 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: tons of money, sons of guys with money, and I 499 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: was the only girl. And I noticed that nobody was 500 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: making eye contact with me. And that was a day 501 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: I just said to myself, I'll get even. I'm going 502 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: to be the Queen of New York real estate. It 503 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: was crystallized in my mind right then and there I'm 504 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: going to be the queen of real estate. I'm going 505 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: to be a number one rival. I'm going to put 506 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: you to bed. I just got a bone in my back, 507 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, because it was insulting that they were making 508 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: eye contact with Its funny that I should be so 509 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: offended over something like that, but I really was. 510 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: You should be offended. 511 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: What do you mean, of course, Well it seemed like 512 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: I was a little sensitive. 513 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 2: At the time. Yeah, yeah, and good for you. Yeah 514 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: we should be sensitive about that. But that's still kind 515 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: of like that's a drive based on people who don't 516 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 2: believe in you. But I just think the thing of 517 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: like doing things in your own terms, like how you 518 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: say in your home or well, I'm sure you've had 519 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: to do that in business too, where everybody says this 520 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: is the right way to do it. 521 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: I succeeded because I did things my own way. Everything 522 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: I succeeded in wish myself ahead was outside the norm, 523 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: thank god, and the old boys weren't doing it, and 524 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: for that they thought I was crazy, and they weren't 525 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: even watching me until it was too late to watch 526 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: me stop me, you know. But no, I did everything 527 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: opposite to the marketplace because I found that for my 528 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: sense of what's common sense. It seemed right, and I 529 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: would be at least have the confidence to follow my 530 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: instinct and go down the path. And not everything worked out, 531 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: but a lot worked out. You know, you just need 532 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: a few things to work out. Oh, the sirens in 533 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: New York. 534 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: I love New York. Don't criticize it. No, I love 535 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: New York. It's fine, except when you're trying to take 536 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: a podcast and your guest is saying something amazing in 537 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 2: this it's a little flavor. Yeah, thank you. Lets people 538 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: know where we are. We are in New York City. Okay. 539 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: There was a thing about relationship ships too. What about 540 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 2: not so much maintaining a relationship with finances, but partnering 541 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: actually going into business with someone that you are a 542 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 2: relationship with, whether it's a spouse or whatever, boyfriend and girlfriend, whatever. 543 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: People do that they have an idea, they're living together. 544 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 2: They're like, let's do this business together. 545 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: I think it can work on. It worked with my 546 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: partner Ramon Samone because we're total opposites in every way, 547 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: and so he hit his lanes. I had my lanes, 548 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: and we respected the lines in between. I have in 549 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: shark time, probably invested over maybe one hundred and fifty partnerships. 550 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: Like of relationships people. 551 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: Who are in no probably honestly the ones that are 552 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: already in relationships less have worked out. This is more 553 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: a fallout, I would say as a wonder I'd have 554 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: to think about that, but I think so. But I 555 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: think it can work very well. I have businesses that 556 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: are owned by four female cousins and they're working it together. 557 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: I have businesses owned by brothers, wives and husbands, many 558 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: of them. Some of them don't work out when the 559 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: marriage goes on the rocks. 560 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 2: That's what I was wondering. Yeah, I've seen that a 561 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: few times. 562 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: I have to. 563 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: And I also know a lot of women. They start 564 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: making they're successful, they're smart, badass. Clearly they're going to 565 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: figure whatever it is they're trying to figure out. They're 566 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: going to figure it out. And then they have a 567 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: partner and they enjoy It's almost like they enjoy working 568 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: with their husband or their spouse. Share. So you want 569 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: to share everything. Usually, so you have an idea, then 570 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 2: you say, hey, let's do this together. Then the marriage doesn't. 571 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: Go yes, and then the girlfriend comes in. 572 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: Now this person that you thought, let me pull you 573 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 2: in on this. I've seen this a few times. Yes, 574 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: and then the woman isn't dealing with lawyers trying to 575 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 2: get her company back or buy her company back. 576 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: I think women are vulnerable to that, just starting out 577 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: on their own, pulling a partnership in, and then the 578 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: partner not being nearly as strong, but they think they're 579 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: strong because they're in love with them, and then it 580 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: goes awry. I've seen that so many times, and never 581 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: do they have a post nuptial or pre nuptial, and 582 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: it's a disaster because they lose half the equity. I 583 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: just have a sister who just came through this very capable. 584 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: Her partner wasn't at all. He was pulled in and 585 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: she had to buy him out at great expense when 586 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: the partnership ended. With the marriage ended, I should say 587 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: I think that's very common. But some though do work 588 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: out very well. You have very it's you know, in 589 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: a way, you almost have a leg up. You have 590 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: an additional strength because you're married. You're really together in 591 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: every single way. So when the partnership is good, it 592 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: works out well. But I think I've only seen it 593 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: work out when the partners are opposite. I think what 594 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: makes all strong partnerships is opposite skill sets. I don't 595 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: think you could kind of have two of the same. 596 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: It just doesn't because you get on each other's territory. Yeah, 597 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: I think you always have to be opposite. 598 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: That makes sense. 599 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, the holiday season is upon us. 600 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 2: I know it came so fast, right, So one thing 601 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 2: I am working on in my home is trying to 602 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: make my home feel festive. And also I have a 603 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: lot of people over for the holiday, so sometimes that 604 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: means any extra chairs and things. And I started thinking 605 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: about my grandmother, my grandmother. I come from a family 606 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 2: where my grandmother would host every year with second cousins, 607 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: third cousins, and she had a very small home, but 608 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: she hosted a big party and everything in the house 609 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: would be dripping in holiday things. I mean, everything for 610 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 2: the toilet had like a Santa Claus on the toilet. 611 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: The napkins in the house were Christmas napkins. I mean, 612 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 2: if there was an inch of her house, it was 613 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: dripped in holiday And I don't want to do that. 614 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: But I do. 615 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 2: Like the idea of recreating that much joy and that 616 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: much festiveness in my home.

But what was important for it 650 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: to survive is everybody understood what their rules were. That's 651 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: if you want to call that a rule, you can. Yeah, 652 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: that's about as far as it went, you know, and 653 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: a lot of settled in bed, would you have difference? 654 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: That's always a good time.

That's so handsome. Yeah, it's 658 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: the perfect time, perfect time. But I do think that 659 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: is because because like you said, women want to you 660 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: see the best in the person, you want to keep 661 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: them close. And I've seen that many times it's much, 662 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 2: very too much, very very tricky. Barbara. Okay, what about 663 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: age and business? I always am inspired by women because 664 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: I'm in my fifties, so I I I when I 665 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: see stories of women who first, you know, Martha Stewart 666 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: make her company. I have fifty years old, or was 667 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 2: she fifty? She was fifteen. She was Martha Stewart in 668 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: terms of creating things and events, but her actual Martha 669 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: Stewart living in her empire. She was fifteen when she 670 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: launched that, So. 671 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: You have to give her twice the credit. 672 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: I think, at least, right, Why do you say that though? 673 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: I say that because when you're young, I know who 674 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: I was a twenty three, I had endless energy. I 675 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: could run an eighteen hour day, day after day and 676 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: not feel it. When I was fifty, you felt the 677 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: hours very much. Your body changes, So I think as long, 678 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't think AH has a thing to do with it. 679 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: But I think if you have the enthusiasm and the 680 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: drive and the energy to pursue what you want to pursue, 681 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: it's the same as when you're twenty three. But I 682 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: don't know if I express that well. 683 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: No, I get it because probably physically because you still 684 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: have the capacity. 685 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: You have the capacity. 686 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: Energy might be I don't know. 687 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: When you're older, your energy is less, but you're also smarter. 688 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: You know where to put your energy. At fifty, I 689 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: was a phenomenal delegator. I could pick talent out from anywhere, 690 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: recruit people from anywhere, and get them to work for 691 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: me because I knew they had a certain talent. I 692 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: just had an instinct on it. I didn't have an 693 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: instinct when I was twenty three. 694 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: You want to do it all yourself. 695 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: Probably always I always did it better than anyone else. 696 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: Every job. I always thought I could do better until 697 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: I realized one day eighty percent was good enough. And 698 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: when I realized eighty percent was good enough, my business 699 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: grew like crazy because I choose people and say, well, 700 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: eighty percent is good enough. Eighty percent is good enough. 701 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: Lower my expectation and that's pretty good. Eighty percent. Yeah, 702 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: that really grew my business. 703 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: That's great advice. Yeah, I was just thinking about something. 704 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: I know that I've always been told that I'm starting 705 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 2: to second guess, and it's that as I was, you know, 706 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: starting in this business, I was always told to own 707 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: every you should. You have to own your own this 708 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 2: and be your own boss and invest in yourself, and 709 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: those lessons are probably still true. But I made a 710 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: lot of mistakes using my money on creative ideas I had. 711 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: I'll shoot it myself, Beau. I don't want anybody telling 712 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: me what to do or even we launched this pot. 713 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: I paid for the pod myself because I didn't want 714 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 2: anybody having too many opinions about. 715 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: I felt the same way. 716 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: Would have felt the same way. You make mistakes, and 717 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 2: then it's your money or. 718 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: You pay you make rust mistakes. I can't tell you 719 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: how many partners I've invested on Shark Tank who think 720 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: nothing of losing money when it's my money. When it's 721 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: your own money, they think long and hard about each 722 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: decision they make. I think it's I think it's great 723 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,959 Speaker 1: to have your own money invested. I would agree with 724 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: your old wisdom. 725 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 2: No, I still have it. I just think I've made 726 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: I've made Also, when it's your money, when your guests 727 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: cancels last minute, and you've hired the crew, and you've 728 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: hired the space, and you've got so that. 729 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: You find a way, you know you find a way. 730 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 2: But when you lose the money, it's your money. 731 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: Yes, that helps you find the way. 732 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 2: You don't think it's a good business to say use 733 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: other people's money to. 734 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Really, I had many opportunities. Well 735 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: why would I say that I used someone else's to 736 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: start the business. So I'm not really truthful. But other 737 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: than that, it's starting the business a seed capital. And 738 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: even then, I don't think if you can possibly avoid 739 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: using somebody else's money and use your own instead, it's better. 740 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I knew where every dime was going. 741 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: I knew when I was running short up by five cents. 742 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: I knew everything because it was my own money invested 743 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: and I put it back into them. If I had 744 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: investor money. I see many of my partners just throwing 745 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: away my money carelessly. It kills me. I've decided to 746 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: invest in them. But you're really going to spend the 747 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: money on that. But it's my money. It's easy money 748 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: to spend. Yes, on PR, on everything that's peripheral to 749 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: a business. 750 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: Something that must piss you off. 751 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,479 Speaker 1: It does, but I've learned to be quiet. 752 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: Why it's your mind? 753 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: I want to build up the agent the entrepreneur's confidence 754 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: and criticism doesn't do anything to help with that. 755 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 2: What about your discipline, I would imagine this career that 756 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 2: you've had, in this run that you've had, there's certain 757 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 2: disciplines you have to have as. 758 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: You're looking at the most disciplined person you've ever met. 759 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: Really definitely, I just well, first of all, I learned 760 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: it from my mother. She had ten kids, and she 761 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: had a system for everything. She was the model of efficiency. 762 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: So if I see something happened, I see it happen 763 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: a second time. I create a system immediately. If I 764 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: see somebody do this and they do a good job, 765 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: I make it their job. I move on it right away, 766 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: and I create it so it repeats itself with myself 767 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: and my own discipline. I don't care if I'm dying, 768 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to work if I promise, I'd be there. 769 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: So and I think that's important that your world be 770 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: your total bond that anybody would trust ever in anything, 771 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: because you're all that way. So if with me, everything 772 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: I do has discipline from where I work out what 773 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: I work out, well not, we're on. I want to 774 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: eat I eat it all this ship all the time. 775 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 2: So good. 776 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm surprised I'm alive. Actually, was what I eat? 777 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: You look so great. 778 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: I'm lucky. I have a good body, believe me, it's 779 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: it's pot luck. But I work really hard to work 780 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: five days a week to keep. 781 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: It, keep it triump, work out every. 782 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: Day, Yeah, I do well, not Saturday Sunday five. 783 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 2: Days a week. Yeah, you're like a morning routine. I 784 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 2: know morning routines through successful people are I don't. I know. 785 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: I feel like a failure saying I don't. But really, 786 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: I like to stay in bed as long as I 787 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: could until that alarm rings at six o'clock, and then 788 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: I'm up instantly. I always give myself one, two, three 789 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: and hop out of bed. I won't just lay there 790 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 1: beyond that time. But you're up at six, yeah, always, 791 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: and naturally I actually wake up being with that alarm 792 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: because I've been doing it so long. 793 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And then you're working all day. 794 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, I'll work till midnight if I have to. 795 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 2: Still now every day, Yeah, I'm still working that hard. 796 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: Just to accomplish what I want to accomplish. If I 797 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: have a goal set in my head, I'm not going 798 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: to give up really in the day until I've worked 799 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: enough at it. You know, it's sick. I've been seeing 800 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: a psychologist. I'm trying to come off that as I 801 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: get older in my seventies day, what are you going 802 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: to rely on that? Yeah, that's what she says. When 803 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: are you going to relax? 804 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 2: What is the plan? 805 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: My mom always said when she's dead, which I agree 806 00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: with kind of. 807 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: That's when you Yeah, yeah, but there is And it's 808 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: so corny to even this question. I hate this question. 809 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 2: People ask me. Is this about the balance of life? 810 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: And do you believe in that? I don't know. 811 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think it's always changing. I 812 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 2: think what I need for myself today is different than 813 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: what I need for myself next month. And so if 814 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 2: I'm in an ambitious season of something I'm trying to launch, 815 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 2: then it's all work, yep, exactly. But if I miss 816 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: my kid or I'm feeling sad for whatever reason and 817 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 2: I have to pour into myself a little bit, then 818 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 2: I go sit down for you know, I try to 819 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 2: just go. I don't think there's an everyday balance of. 820 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: I don't either, and that sounds what you do sounds 821 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: very healthy to my ears. Really, what I do the 822 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: only thing that helps me well, I wouldn't even call 823 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: it balance, but it helps me with priorities. I guess 824 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: you'd say, is I put boxes Like when I'm at home, 825 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: I never take business calls. I try my best not 826 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: to think about business. I want to be with my kids. 827 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to raise my kids. I want to be 828 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: a great mom. When I'm at work. My kids wouldn't 829 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 1: dare call me at work. My husband used to call 830 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: and pretend he was They wouldn't dare unless they were dying, 831 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: and they never died, so thank god, thank god. But 832 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: my husband would call me at work after a while 833 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 1: in desperation once to talk to me. It was terrible, 834 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: and he would pretend he was from the New York 835 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: Times and disguise his voice with my secretary so you 836 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: could get through to me. I mean, ridiculous, but that's 837 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: how I'm clad. My system was, don't bother calling me 838 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: because I'm hyper focused at work and I'm hyper focused 839 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: at home. But I wouldn't call that balance. But at 840 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: least it's a separation. 841 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, exceparate compartment. 842 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: Far as I've gone, that's actually pretty good. 843 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: That works. That's your system of bat for me, Well 844 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 2: the best. Yeah, you're still getting actually the best of 845 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 2: both worlds because you're committed to being in the space 846 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 2: that you're where. 847 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: I'm really in balance. I think I'm trying to get 848 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: better as I get older. Is I've always treasured fun 849 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: and good times and friends and family above all else, 850 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: above my work every time. But when I actually look 851 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: at how much time I spend on my work and 852 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: how much time I spend on my family and friends 853 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: and having fun, it's probably eight to two maybe, and 854 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: that's not healthy. I should really be at least fifty 855 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 1: to fifty. And that's what I'm working on now. 856 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:14,879 Speaker 2: Just do it. 857 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: We'll just do it. But I have to let go 858 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: some of my business goals, which would be a problem. 859 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 2: What are your business goals? 860 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't have any, but I'm still working hard at 861 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: the moment. 862 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 2: What are you chasing, Barbara? What is the moment where 863 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 2: you go? 864 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: What success? 865 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 2: I've done enough? 866 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: More success, more notoriety, more not, helping, more people, influencing 867 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 1: more people. I get tremendous satisfaction out of getting little 868 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: notes and texts and emails saying, oh, you help me 869 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: so much. I never thought of this, and you changed 870 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: my life. I'm sure it's exaggerated, but that makes me 871 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: feel like my life is worth while. I don't want 872 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: to give that up. 873 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 2: Actually, speaking of that, we have a voice note, don't we. 874 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, somebody left the message for you.

We a few years ago when 884 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,760 Speaker 4: my husband and I were trying to buy our first 885 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 4: home and you gave me some really great advice on 886 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 4: how to make your offer sexier but moreage contingency and 887 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 4: scaling offer. And I'm here to say that your advice 888 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 4: helped us get our dream home and we couldn't be happier. 889 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 4: It changed our life and we are so appreciative about you. 890 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 2: Oh that sounds sincere, doesn't it. That's what I look for. 891 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 2: That's what I live for to hear that. Yeah, I 892 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 2: mean you know, yes, those are the moments, right, definitely, 893 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 2: those are the moments that probably happens all the time, 894 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 2: all the time. 895 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: And I'm happy to give real estate advice, But what 896 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: what more do I like than giving life advice people 897 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 1: who are stuck. When people who are stuck and they 898 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: can see the other mountain ahead of them, I love 899 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: opening their eyes because it's the truth. I just speak 900 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: the truth and they hear it and they start to 901 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: look at the mountain on the other side. You know. 902 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: I just feel like it can make people change, get 903 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: them off their stuck spot. And that gives you, like joy, Yeah, 904 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: very much. 905 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, So I think this era of yours is 906 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 2: more media than it's entirely media. Yes, and even real 907 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 2: estate or business or right. 908 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: I mean really, I'm still very serious about real estate. 909 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: I must say, Yes, I buy very smartly. I use 910 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: as the people to locate my properties. I readily make 911 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: partners of people who have no experience but know the neighborhood. 912 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: I make them my partner books. I know, I have 913 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: a set of eyes and ears and toes on the 914 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: ground that really know what's good more than a broker 915 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: selling your stuff, you know, I just say, find me 916 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: the best property that you have in your neighborhood, and 917 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: I'll give you ten percent of the deal. Wow, and 918 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: you'll stay my. 919 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,879 Speaker 2: Partner forever. 920 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 1: Or no, it's a a little cooked up thing. Ten 921 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: percent I give them, And then when I sell the 922 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: property ten years later, twenty thirty years later, it's worth 923 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: so much more because it's the right property that was built. Now, 924 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: what I have found is that I have the money 925 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: and these people that I make my partners, they have 926 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: the talent, and they also have the time. I can't 927 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: go and scout that neighborhood and find out the best 928 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: possible property. And I also get the added benefit of 929 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: getting someone started in business. They're in business now, they're 930 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: a partner Barbara Corkran, Wow, and they go out and 931 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: look for other properties, and they make sure whatever they buy, 932 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: because they're going to be in it with me, is 933 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: the right property. So I can have total trust and delegation. 934 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 2: How do you identify talent? 935 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 4: Like? 936 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: Are there things in people that you see instinct? I 937 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: look for certain traits. Of course, I look for energy. 938 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: I've never met anyone without energy who was successful. I 939 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you have. If there's no energy, there's 940 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 1: no success. 941 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 2: No, unless you happen to have some god given musical talent. 942 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: Well, that's a little different or technology. 943 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 2: But not then without energy, it will only go so 944 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 2: far and you won't take it as far as you can. 945 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: Yes, so energy is very important. I also think what's 946 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: so important it's hard to evaluate, but you can really 947 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: sniff it out if you talk to people enough. If 948 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: somebody has been a loser where he's had to come 949 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: through hardship, how will did he bounce up? I love 950 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: to have people who know how to bounce up. You know, 951 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: they're not just going to lay low and wait, They're 952 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: going to just get back up. Because if you have 953 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: that trait, you're going to be a successful period. You're 954 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: just going to be successful. So I'm always looking for that. 955 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: But so far as identifying the talent that I need 956 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: for what task I want to get done, I really 957 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm lacking, and I'll say, well, I'm great 958 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: at marketing, I'm great at merchandising that apartment, but I'm 959 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: no good at financing. How will I really finance it? 960 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: You know? Where will I go for that? I look 961 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 1: for a partner who knows that part of the equation, 962 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 1: and I will make them my partner because it's strong 963 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: at it. I don't look for somebody like myself, like 964 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: myself and values and like myself in empathy, but not 965 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: like myself and talent. I just don't need more talent 966 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: in the marketing advertising area. I'm so good at that stuff. 967 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 2: What about people who are And you probably come across 968 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 2: this all the time and when you did it on 969 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 2: the Shark Tank. But you know, there's so many people 970 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 2: sitting at home probably watching this, looking looking at our 971 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: conversation right now, and have some idea that they are 972 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 2: that they believe in, and for some reason they haven't 973 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 2: started it. And how do you maybe even doubting themselves. 974 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 2: And I know it probably goes back to instinct, like 975 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 2: you said, but how do you know where do you 976 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 2: even begin to know if your idea, if your crazy 977 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 2: little idea is a good one. We have me Brenny 978 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 2: who work together. We're always like, this would be a 979 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 2: good idea, and then you know, you start and then 980 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 2: you have another. I have too many ideas. How do 981 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 2: I know of my ten ideas, which is the idea 982 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: that I should put all my my bread in the 983 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 2: in the basket. 984 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: I think what you have to do with an idea 985 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: is number one. Get it started right away, don't be 986 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: second guessing and analyzing and having a business plank, because 987 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: they don't work once you get to the street. So 988 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: just get it off the ground. Assuming you get it 989 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: off the ground, you have to take it to the 990 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: street and see how people respond to it. I have 991 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: had more people who thought it was a great idea 992 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: to have a ridiculous product. They took it to the 993 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: street and said, would you pay for this? How much 994 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 1: would you pay? You could survey and if nobody responds 995 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: to it, you've got a bum of an idea. Most 996 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: ideas are not good. Most ideas out. 997 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 2: Of ten are not good. 998 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: I think I would think in the businesses I invested in, 999 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: I would say one in three are good ideas, and 1000 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 1: shark tanks eliminated most of the bad ideas, so still 1001 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,399 Speaker 1: only one and three are a good ideas.

I think you'd find 1009 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: this interesting. Okay, three months after Shark Tank is on 1010 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: in every everybody's happy because they've been found, they're selling 1011 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: their product, they're incredible. I bring them into my office 1012 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: to squeeze their heads in because they get in a 1013 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: big head and I could feel it. Okay, so I 1014 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: just ask them, what do you want to accomplish in 1015 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: your business? And they asked me a series of fifteen 1016 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: twenty questions that they really want to know for me, 1017 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: and they start writing down my answers on a yellow 1018 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: pad or whatever they brought with them, and I know 1019 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 1: it's going to fail because they're taking me on face value, 1020 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: like I have the answers when I get an entrepreneur 1021 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: comes in and they listen to me, don't take notes. 1022 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 2: Huh uh uh huh. 1023 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: I know they're going to go out and do what 1024 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: they want. And I know I have a winner. And 1025 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: I tell you it's a tried and true test. Three 1026 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: months after Shark Tank, I know who my winners and 1027 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: losers are. And you know what I do. I have 1028 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: everybody in a frame picture of all my entrepreneurs around 1029 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 1: my office. If you ever come, you see all these 1030 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: happy faces before the three months hits and then you 1031 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,399 Speaker 1: see two thirds of them turned upside down. 1032 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, because I realized thee down. 1033 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: On that first meeting, I go on, when I turn 1034 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 1: them upside down, they took two any notes they're upside down? 1035 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 2: Is that maybe that's a reflection of they don't have 1036 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 2: their own vision for it. They're so cheating. 1037 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 1: Because people who are in their own business, like you, 1038 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 1: you know you're going to make that call. Yeah, you'll 1039 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: seek ot advice sort of. Yeah, but it's only half advice. 1040 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: You're going to make the call. And that's the mark 1041 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: of a true entrepreneur. They make the call. 1042 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, got to make a call. Yeah. 1043 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 1: So I've got a lot of upside down pictures unfortunately 1044 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,720 Speaker 1: where I've lost my money. 1045 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 2: Have you ever done that where you listen to somebody 1046 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 2: else early in your mind. 1047 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: I always listened to someone, but from the very early days, 1048 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: I made up my own mind what I was going 1049 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 1: to do. No matter how big or powerful a person was, 1050 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: I would listen, wow enamor to go home and go 1051 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: he's full of shit. That doesn't really make any sense, 1052 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,959 Speaker 1: But it didn't make any sense measured against my burama. Yeah, 1053 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 1: because I had my own big barama. I measured everything against. Yeah, 1054 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: that was kind of like the beginning of self confidence. 1055 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 1: You don't see it as that, but it is the 1056 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 1: beginning of self confidence, sure, and then it develops in there. 1057 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I was wondering if you'd ever had 1058 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 2: those a moment of why did I listen to that person? Oh? 1059 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: No, I would have. I don't think I've ever made 1060 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: that missake. Even when someone was buying my business. They 1061 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: gave me a great argument why twenty two million dollars 1062 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 1: was the right price for my business? 1063 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 2: They really did. 1064 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,399 Speaker 1: I listened to them, listened to them. I said, sure, 1065 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 1: but I want sixty six. It's my lucky number. That's it. 1066 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: That makes so logic. But I knew I wanted sixty six, 1067 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 1: and I got it. 1068 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,720 Speaker 2: I think the fear for people too is missed opportunity maybe, 1069 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 2: or like you said. 1070 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 1: Well, it's a lack of belief in themselves. You know, 1071 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: three years before I sold my business, bery lynch Wanter 1072 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: buy my business. I was so flattered. I was so 1073 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: happy they were offering me two million dollars for my business. 1074 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 1: This is right before I sold it. It was a 1075 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: terrible year. I had no sales. I felt, oh my gosh, 1076 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,879 Speaker 1: they want me, they want me. You know, they must 1077 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: be really smart, all these guys that come in for 1078 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: visits and everything. And they changed your mind, or I 1079 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: would have sold my business. I'm embarrassed, and I would 1080 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 1: have sold it to them. And there I was a 1081 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: few years later selling it for as a much more money. 1082 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 1: But I really thought I would never get another offer, 1083 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: like this is a one time thing. I didn't have 1084 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: the confidence that I would think I would make it 1085 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 1: through that troth and rise back up. I was at 1086 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: a low point in my confidence and I was vulnerable. 1087 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: Thank god, they changed your mind. 1088 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's I think you lost to something, you wind 1089 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:21,800 Speaker 2: up finding something. 1090 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: Very often when you look back, you lost nothing at all, 1091 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 1: or you actually think of it as a lucky break. Yeah. 1092 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 1: I've had many instances where I look back there, thank 1093 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: god that happened. 1094 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:31,799 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it always works out. 1095 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:32,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, well. 1096 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 2: It usually works out. You sound like a mother, Now, 1097 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 2: my mother, what is what is something that you've spent 1098 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,280 Speaker 2: your money on that had changed your life? 1099 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: I think the first thing I spent money on was 1100 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: I went to burger Off. Gutman's was my first commission 1101 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: check of three point forty and I bought the fanciest 1102 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,479 Speaker 1: code I could find. I had no right being there. 1103 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: The lady didn't looked at me like I couldn't afford 1104 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,959 Speaker 1: it in my pea coat, you know. But I walked 1105 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,440 Speaker 1: out of there with that fancy coat with fur on it. 1106 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: And why it was so important is I walked out 1107 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,759 Speaker 1: of there as the real estate queen. It changed my 1108 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 1: mind and I were for four years every day covering 1109 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,560 Speaker 1: up my clothing that nobody ever saw because I always 1110 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 1: worked on the street opening apartment doors, and just having 1111 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 1: the confidence to buy that coat and make myself who 1112 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,839 Speaker 1: I wanted to be became my compass. I don't think 1113 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 1: I would have done it without the coat. On three 1114 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: point thirty, right up to the three forty, I think 1115 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: I went home with a few bucks in my pocket, 1116 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: paying cash for a coat, and walking out with a 1117 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: coat on my back and a smell. Knew the collar. 1118 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: It was some kind of a dog fur on the 1119 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 1: collar currently smell good. I had it also on the cuffs. 1120 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: I could smell it again. So you're marketing yourself. I 1121 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,800 Speaker 1: was marketing myself. So anything I've done in my life 1122 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 1: where I've spent money which would appear silly was always 1123 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 1: on marketing expense in some way. Even when my business 1124 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: was very large, I would spend money on an office 1125 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't afford. I would spend money on a partner 1126 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 1: I couldn't afford to buy a salesman I couldn't forward 1127 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: to pay. But those are always my best calls. Always. 1128 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you when, when you when it's going to 1129 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,280 Speaker 2: move the business forward. 1130 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 1: It always moves a business far without a doubt. 1131 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got to kind of be fearless about 1132 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 2: that a little bit, well or reckless, call it. 1133 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: What you want. 1134 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 2: We're both. What is a guilty pleasure for a barbera cork. 1135 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't feel guilty about anything really, except if I'm 1136 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: over spending. I feel like I'm over spending, Like going 1137 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: to the Cayman Islands, that is a guilty Yeah, that 1138 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,280 Speaker 1: would be a good guilty president. 1139 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 2: That means you love it, right, travel, we're just there. 1140 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,280 Speaker 1: Well, I travel so much of a business it's lost 1141 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 1: a little if it's a lure to sit on a 1142 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: plane again, you know, you know the campon islands, I 1143 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: would say, would be qualified as guilty pleasure. Yeah, do 1144 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:48,839 Speaker 1: it is close by? 1145 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 2: Do it, big bar do it? Hmm?

I 1148 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 2: am no longer. 1149 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: Available for negative people. I avoid them by a mile. 1150 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: They really reach into your pocket in the middle of 1151 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 1: the night and steal your emotional health. They really do. 1152 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: I just think of them as a bad leprechaun kind 1153 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,359 Speaker 1: of you know, in the middle of the night. Now 1154 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: I feel any vibe at all on negativity, ice steer 1155 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: away from it, and you know, you can really judge 1156 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: it some people. I've interviewed some people where they're positive 1157 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 1: in every way, but after they leave my office, I 1158 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 1: feel like I have a little cloud of sadness. I 1159 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 1: can't describe it. I can't believe what I'm feeling, like, 1160 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 1: Why would I really accuse them of being said? They 1161 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 1: acted happy? But happy people leave a little cloud of 1162 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: happiness behind my friends. Do they leave my apartment, I 1163 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 1: could still feel their presence. I meet somebody on the 1164 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: street who's very happy. I walk down the street feeling happy. Afterwards, 1165 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: they have a residual of happiness. And it's true. I 1166 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,240 Speaker 1: just would avoid negative people. 1167 00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, Yeah. 1168 00:51:59,239 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: They psuck you down. 1169 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,879 Speaker 2: It's just because sometimes people could be in a bad 1170 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 2: space in their life or being in a moment. But 1171 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 2: is there a difference, like how can you identify. 1172 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 1: Everybody has a bad day and that you'd say, hey, 1173 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:10,839 Speaker 1: how are you doing? 1174 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 2: It? 1175 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: Will be better tomorrow. That's different. But a negative place 1176 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 1: person looks at life as like the downside. You know, 1177 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,879 Speaker 1: if you make a policy change running a business, they'll 1178 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: tell you everything wrong with it. If you hire a 1179 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 1: person who has something about their person that's un agreeable, 1180 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,320 Speaker 1: but everything about them is phenomenal, will focus on the negative. 1181 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 1: They always find the negative. They find the negative and 1182 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: the worst part about it, especially in a sales organization. 1183 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: I always man my money on sales. Especially in a 1184 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: sales organization. They never feel sorry for themselves alone. They've 1185 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: run a little pity party and they invite somebody else in, 1186 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 1: usually a positive person. Really, it's just terrible. You got 1187 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 1: to get rid of them right away. Really negative people 1188 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 1: you can't have in your life, in business, in life 1189 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,439 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah sure, hmm. 1190 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 2: I'm at my best when. 1191 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: When I'm playing, really playing with anybody. Yeah, it's the 1192 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:08,720 Speaker 1: most fun. 1193 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,759 Speaker 2: When I walk in a room, I want people to. 1194 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,320 Speaker 1: Feel happy to see me. I think that's very important, 1195 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,919 Speaker 1: Like I'm adding something. Here comes somebody who will add 1196 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 1: something to whatever we're doing. 1197 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 2: That makes me feel good. 1198 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes me feel good. 1199 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 2: Are you an emotional person? 1200 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 1: Uh? Like, did you keep inside? I am? But no, 1201 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:29,279 Speaker 1: I always say not. 1202 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, because sometimes women in business, you know, you gotta 1203 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:33,880 Speaker 2: be tough, you gotta be strong, the. 1204 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: Skin has got to be never apologized for being a 1205 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,120 Speaker 1: woman business. In fact, I never thought of myself as 1206 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: a woman business. I thought of myself always as a competitor. 1207 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: I measured myself against men I was competing with. I 1208 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: never thought I had a disadvantage. And so far as 1209 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: being a woman in a smaller business in the early 1210 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 1: days and thinking how will I ever climb that mountain? 1211 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: I always thought I had a great advantage and nobody 1212 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: was watching me. I could do whatever I wanted, I 1213 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: had freedom, nobody cared about me, nobody was watching me. 1214 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 1: So I never thought I had a disadvantage in the 1215 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 1: female area at all, or the smallness area. I always 1216 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 1: saw them as I saw myself as an equal, maybe 1217 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 1: not an accomplishment, but in capability. 1218 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 2: Well, what about in business? Can you be? Are you emotional? 1219 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,919 Speaker 1: In not at all? I know I'm a cold des ice. 1220 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,480 Speaker 1: I have to say, Wow, I made Martha Stewart look warm. 1221 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 2: Stop it. 1222 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,279 Speaker 1: I really did my decision making and my and my 1223 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,480 Speaker 1: judgment of things. I'm hard as a rock. I listened 1224 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 1: hard and then I decide, And you cannot change me 1225 00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,839 Speaker 1: once I decide, not at all. Yeah. 1226 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 2: Do you think that's necessary to have the success that 1227 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 2: you've had, especially for a whill. 1228 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: I think there are different styles, but I think there's 1229 00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,880 Speaker 1: no room for emotion if you're a woman, especially in 1230 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: business the minute. I had a manager once in a 1231 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: while who would cry over just having a bad day, 1232 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: because we all have bad days. She was marked. I 1233 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 1: never trusted there was more responsibility again, really yeah, I 1234 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 1: never did. I never forgot because I thought you can 1235 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,240 Speaker 1: cry in business. You just can't cry. 1236 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 2: Have you never cried? 1237 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 1: Never have? No. I go home and I feel sad, 1238 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,839 Speaker 1: and I challenge myself and I wonder what the hell 1239 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 1: I did wrong? And well, I make it, and I'll 1240 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: be worried. Worried, but it's a little different than crying. 1241 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 1: Worried is the beginning of what you're going to do 1242 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,359 Speaker 1: about it. Crying is an end. 1243 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:22,400 Speaker 2: You know. I'm crying. 1244 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,759 Speaker 1: I'm crying over this not a good sign. 1245 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,840 Speaker 2: Solution find solutions, yeah, work on the. 1246 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: Well, you know, with business it's nothing but a series 1247 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:36,799 Speaker 1: of problems you just have to hop over. So feeling yeah, no, 1248 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: crying would not. 1249 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 2: Fit in what do you think your legacy? What do 1250 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 2: you as we're wrapping up, like, what do you hope 1251 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 2: the span of your career and media career and the 1252 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,680 Speaker 2: things that you left with people? Like what do you 1253 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 2: hope people say about you? 1254 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,600 Speaker 1: And it's not so much what they say about me, 1255 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 1: because I really don't care. I'll be dead, what do 1256 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 1: I care? 1257 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 2: You know? 1258 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,600 Speaker 1: But what I think I would like people to say 1259 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: about themselves. Are more capable than I thought. I was 1260 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: much more capable than I thought I was, because I 1261 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: really believe everyone is more capable than they think they are, 1262 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 1: and I helped people move people off that spot of 1263 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 1: course of being incapable. But I'd like to feel like 1264 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 1: I influenced people, particularly women, that they could accomplish more 1265 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: and be bigger than I ever thought they would be. 1266 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: And it's real, not just like a full stream, but 1267 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 1: that real, And if I had any influence on that, 1268 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 1: which I think I have with a lot of people, 1269 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: I feel really good about my life. You know, it's 1270 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 1: really it's funny. It's exactly what my mother did with us. 1271 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,399 Speaker 1: She made us all think we were great. I hope 1272 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,399 Speaker 1: to do that again, you know my own way. 1273 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 2: I think you've done pretty well, I hope. 1274 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: So I'm trying hard. 1275 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 2: I'm ready to start my business.
