1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Today on the bright Side, we're dreaming Big with actor, writer,

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: and social media superstar Yasmin Saheed. This is a conversation

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: about creativity that's so inspiring.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: It might just reconnect you with your own inner artist.

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 3: It's a lot of you have to put your fate

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: into the hands of someone else to like give you

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 3: your future. It was just always in the backgroud mind

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 3: and like why do I have to keep waiting? I

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: like having some control over my life. So then that's

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: when I started making my videos.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 1: I'm Simone Voice and this is the bride side from

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: Hello Sunshine. Okay, y'all, welcome back to the bright Side.

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: You know, today's episode is all about investing in your

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: own creativity, and I actually want to start with something

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: that our very own Reese Weatherspoon recently shared on social

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: media that has been living rent free in my mind.

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: So in this video, Reese is talking about the advice

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: that she gives students who are writing college essays, and

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: she tells them to dig deep to find that thing

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: that only you can say about yourself. What is that

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: thing that only you can claim and no one else can.

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a family heirloom, Maybe it's a medical challenge

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: you've overcome that made you stronger, whatever it is. Reese

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: says that digging isn't optional, it's actually the heart of creativity,

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: and she paired it with this quote from Rick Rubin

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: that I honestly can't stop thinking about either. The ability

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: to look deeply is the root of creativity. So that's

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: exactly what we're exploring today, and we're doing that with

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: our guest, Yasmin Sahied. You know her for her hilarious

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: viral videos parodying Twilight or Disney Channel favorites, those relatable

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: nostalgia videos that pop up in your feed that you

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: know you just.

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Have to send to your best friend. That's the one.

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about.

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: You might have also seen Yasmin acting in the Amazon

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: show Overcompensating. She's even represented TikTok on the Oscars Red Carpet.

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: And it all started because she invested in her own

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: creativity and in her own voice.

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: So I've got a few surprises in store for this

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: conversation today, and I can't wait to hear what you think.

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Yasmin Sahid, Welcome to the bright Side.

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks for having me.

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to have you. This feels long overdue.

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been. It's been in the works for sure.

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: You've created several sketches about Love Island and the characters

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: this season. So I want to give you the floor

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: to just rant about season seven.

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: Want.

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: I want Yasmin's full, no holds barred rant about season seven.

50
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: Of Love Islands.

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, everyone is still buzzing about the reunion.

52
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to set a timer for you. Are you ready, yes?

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: One minute timer?

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay. So Love Island season seven it was a

55
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: hot mess in many aspects. There was just too much

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: focus on friendship. There's too much focus on girlhood and

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: like people lost sight of like actually finding love, and

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: I think that clouded a lot of people's judgment. And

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: also people, especially on the reunion, were too scared of

60
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: the public opinion. I think it's reality TV. You still

61
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: gotta you know, stand on business, and I think some

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: people did. I still think there's just too much tiptoeing

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: and there's too much playing in the public's favor. But

64
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: also the public was also really annoying, like all these

65
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: think pieces of like Love Island, and like, I think

66
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: people just needed to watch and also remember that it's

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: a TV show, so you can't take it as seriously.

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: And I think that ruined the experience for not only

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: the viewers, but also ruin the experience for the people

70
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: who were on the show. A lot of bullying, a

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: lot of racism. And then also like the people who

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: went on. I know that everyone's saying that, you know,

73
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: you go on for the fame, but I think it

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: was like a little too fame forward thinking, and I

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: think that also clouded like a lot of people's judgment too,

76
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: because when people started really finding love, that's when I

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: started getting really excited and the I love Nicolandria. I'm

78
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: a Nickolandrian for life. Same yes, I love them so

79
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: much and like their love story, like the friends to

80
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: love her is that's like what really not even the drama,

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: just like that's what really made me so excited to

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: watch because I was like, oh, this is Love Island,

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: Like I get it.

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: I just stare at photos of she's like so incomprehensibly.

85
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't understand her beauty.

86
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I look at her and I'm like,

87
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: how are you real?

88
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: I Like, I just like her proportions, Like I know,

89
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: I just I don't like, she's just like a walking

90
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Barbie doll. Oh my gosh, I'm like so jealous, and

91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: she's just she's also like so cool. Wait, I have

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: to ask you, yeah, because I can tell that you're

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: You're a lover girl. You're you're all about love and

94
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: I love that. There are questions about which of these

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: couples are actually for real? Are they're just staying together

96
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: for the cloud? Do you have any theories?

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: Well, two of them allegedly broke up.

98
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: So who's the last ason Shelley and Nick and Landria.

99
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: That's it, right, Yeah, So I hope nchlandrias.

100
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: I hope so too. I really hope so too.

101
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: And I think they're together. I think people read into

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: Landria too much because she's more I think I think

103
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: she's just genuinely a shy, closed off person. So I

104
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: think people see that and they're like, oh, she doesn't

105
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 3: really like him, But I think she. I really think

106
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: it's real between them. I think she just kind of

107
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: like plays like plays it safe, and she just guards

108
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: her heart and I get it, and I get it.

109
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: I know Nick is obsessed with Landria, and that's always

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: they say. When the man loves a woman more and

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: the relationships are likely to last, so I think they're

112
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 3: in for it. I think As and Shelley are real.

113
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 3: I still think Ace is just a little too young.

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: I think they like each other, but I think it

115
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: might take time for them to really like. I don't know,

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: like settle because it's just like twenty two is young,

117
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: twenty two is young, yeah, and Shelley is twenty seven, right,

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: she's my age, So that's what I'm kind of like.

119
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 3: I don't think it's fake. I think they're just still

120
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: like figuring out, you know, their rhythm. So we'll see.

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: I am choosing to believe in Nicolandria and it stands.

122
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: For I am celebrating that.

123
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: But I actually have a little twist in store for

124
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: our conversation today. So we're gonna be doing a craft.

125
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: I have magazines here with me. We've got a bonappetite,

126
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: some fashion magazines, kind of nass traveler.

127
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: I also have scissors and I have a glu stick.

128
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: Oh what does this entail?

129
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: Because we are making vision boards today? Are you?

130
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Are you a vision board girly yasmine? I actually am okay,

131
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: tell me why why do you like vision boards?

132
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: I feel like it's the easiest to like see like

133
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: your goals. Yeah, and it helps organize your thoughts of

134
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: like what you want to achieve, like down on paper.

135
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: I have one on my laptop screen, but my favorite

136
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 3: is to print it out and then like hang in

137
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: like a poster, so then in passing you can always

138
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: see like, oh, what do you work on or what

139
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: have I achieved?

140
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: So, yeah, she's here for it.

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: Yes, she's here for my interactive podcast episode. So it's

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: so funny that you mentioned that you have one on

143
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: your desktop because I have one on my desktop too,

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: and I haven't really consciously been checking in with my

145
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: vision board. But just the other day, as I was

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: preparing to do this interview with you, I realized my

147
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: vision board has come true.

148
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Basically this year I show it to you.

149
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, So it's kind of My vision board

150
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: is a bit abstract, and it's like a lot of

151
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: just vibes and energies. There's pictures of like auras on

152
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: here and like just sparkly celestial things. But the main

153
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: thing that I wanted to have on my board this

154
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: year was creativity because I felt like I lost touch

155
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: with my creativity for so long. Yeah, just kind of

156
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: getting caught up in the in the grind and the hustle.

157
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: Of everything, for sure.

158
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: And so I really this year wanted to be intentional

159
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: about coming back to cre creativity and I realize that

160
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: I have amazing Yeah, okay, so let me get you

161
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: some magazine.

162
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: Thank you.

163
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I am going to attempt, for the first time

164
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: ever to create a vision board while conducting a podcast interview.

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: I make no promises about how this is gonna go,

166
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have fun. So take me back to

167
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: right after you graduate acting school Loyola Marymount University. And

168
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: I've heard you talk about those first couple of years

169
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: in LA after college was it was kind of rough.

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: It was kind of hard to find acting work. And

171
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: then you turn to TikTok and then that's when everything

172
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: really exploded for you. But can you describe the moment

173
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: when you realize the power of creating for yourself as

174
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: opposed to just waiting for people to bring you opportunities.

175
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've always had the itch. As much as I

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: like it, it's a lot of like you have to put

177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 3: your fate into the hands of someone else to like

178
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: get you your future. And I think that was just

179
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: something that I was always like, it was just always

180
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: in the back of mind. I'm like, why do I

181
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: have to keep waiting? I like having some control over

182
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: my life. So then that's when I started making my

183
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: videos in like actually before the pandemic, just because I

184
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: was like, you're seeing like YouTubers like all the time.

185
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: You know, they're getting these like big opportunities, and because

186
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: they built their own platform, so it's like I can

187
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 3: do the same thing too, And it really started to

188
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: hit me, I guess more in my career when I

189
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: started being invited to like these massive, massive film festivals

190
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: and like reward shows. That's when I was like, oh, Okay,

191
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: this is a big part of the industry now. And

192
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: I guess like when I finally took the step back

193
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: and like kind of looked at everything from the outside

194
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: looking in, I was like, oh, whoa, this is like

195
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: big stone. This is like people are in the industry

196
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: probably longer than I have, and they I can't say

197
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: that they've like step foot on the oscars or carpet

198
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: or like have been at the Camp Film Festival. Like

199
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: this is like a really big deal. So I'm like

200
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: super super grateful of that and I think it also

201
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: in a way affirms my thought process of if you

202
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: need to get it done, like you have to do

203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 3: it yourself. Yeah, because if I just continued being like,

204
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: I'm just just gonna stick to acting and I'm just

205
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: gonna like put all my focus on that, I'm pretty

206
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: confident in saying that I would not be doing nowhere

207
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: near half of the things I've done and continue to do.

208
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Do you believe making it is a real thing? It

209
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: kind of depends.

210
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: I feel like it used to be, but I think

211
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: now with how the industry is forever shaping and forming,

212
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: it's more of an up and down because there's a

213
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: lot of people who they'll have their high and they'll

214
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: have their heyday, and then and after that they're still

215
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: struggling to get like the next role. I don't know.

216
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: I don't know about making it, but I think it's

217
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: definitely something media has been painting for like a long,

218
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: long long time. But I think now it's not really

219
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: like making it because it's such a rollercoaster. It's it's

220
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: just it comes in and then it goes.

221
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: It also feels like the definition of fame keeps changing

222
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: and exactly and almost fame itself is becoming diluted by

223
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: how many people can become famous.

224
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree with that.

225
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: We've got to take a quick break, but we'll be

226
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: right back. Welcome back to the show.

227
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: There is this video, an early video that you made

228
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: where you're making Trader Joe's pasta in your la apartment.

229
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god, and.

230
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: You're ranting about how annoying it is that in order

231
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: to be an actor these days, you have to have

232
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: this large social media following, and you.

233
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: Can sense your fresh became the villain.

234
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, long enough.

235
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: It is interesting to be on the other side of it, right, Yeah,

236
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: what do you think it was right? You were right?

237
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Like I was like, because I was explaining my frustration,

238
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, like you need social media, And

239
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: then I think I was kind of like, hmmm, like

240
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: maybe I gotta play the game. That's the aspect I

241
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: was right in of, you have to. But it's true,

242
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: Like it is kind of true. It's like not true,

243
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: but it's also true. And I think that was during

244
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: that like when I posted that at that time, that

245
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: was when the conversation of on breakdowns, they would ask

246
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: how many followers do you have? That's when the conversation started,

247
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 3: like being more prevalent.

248
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: And breakdowns are casting notices that go out to prospective yes.

249
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah. So I think that was my frustration

250
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: because especially I was like a new actor, like I

251
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: didn't I didn't have like any credits. It was a

252
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: lot of like you need a credit to be in

253
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: the show, but you also need to be in the union,

254
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: but like you need to get on the show so

255
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: to then become in the union. Yeah, Like it was

256
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: just like a lot of kind of like you know,

257
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: like what comes first, and then on top of that,

258
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: it was like, well now I'm not being looked at

259
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: because like I don't have like a big following, like

260
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: what's going on? So I think it was just kind

261
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: of like that frustration of what does anyone even want anymore?

262
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 3: And why is it all of a sudden that I've

263
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: been I've gone to school for like three years for acting,

264
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: like been doing it all my life, but now my

265
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: talent's diluted and just like the followers I have come on.

266
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: But I think like something I like to point out

267
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: was that I not only just have the followers, but

268
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: I think I have the talent to back it.

269
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: Up of course.

270
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I like, I take acting really seriously.

271
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: I still do like classes is I like still like

272
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: to study the craft because it's like in the end

273
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 3: of the day, like you take social media away, and

274
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: it's kind of like what do you have so can

275
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: you exactly? So like I think above, I always like

276
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: think about that because it's like, in hindsight, am I

277
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: still going to be on the internet in the next

278
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: ten years? God who knows? But I don't want to

279
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: just rely on that because it's always changing. It's always

280
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: like views are fluctuating, platforms are disappearing. Like something's popular

281
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: and then it's not popular, So it's like what do

282
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: you have outside of that? So I don't have to

283
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: solely rely on the numbers to like make money or

284
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: to like stay relevant. So that's why I'm more so like,

285
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: you know, I appreciate people who have the followers and

286
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: the talent, and I think, like, especially in my circle

287
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: of being a creative, like a lot of my friends

288
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 3: who are on social media and like who are massive,

289
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: Like they're like genuinely funny, they can act, they can

290
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: like sing, So it's like I think, now that's kind

291
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: of like the the backup of like if you have

292
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: the followers, and like, okay, you have the followers to

293
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: sell for the sake of selling, but also you can

294
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: redescript and like you you have experience on set, and

295
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: I think, like it's it just kind of like bumps

296
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: you up a little bit.

297
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: What would you say your creative superpower is?

298
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: I would say like seeing the details in the comedy

299
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: and highlighting that, because I feel like something people are

300
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: always like telling me is like how at least in

301
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: my videos and like even in like my dialogue of

302
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: like how I write things. It's kind of like making

303
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: these mundane, like small niche kind of like sometimes unnoticeable

304
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: things and like blowing it up to like the point

305
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: where people because it's so mundane, it's like so funny

306
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: and it's like so honest. So I would say like

307
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: like paying attention to, like, yeah, the details of the

308
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: humor and like finding that yeah.

309
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: Like like your impression of Jasper from The Twilight exactly exactly.

310
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: It's like so I mean, it's like people always talk

311
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: about the stare, but then because I was able to

312
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: exaggerate that and like lean into it, it's like people

313
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: were kind of like like I remember When I started

314
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: doing the videos, people are like, he does stare like,

315
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: that's so true. So I would say, that's my superpower.

316
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's your high for that.

317
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

318
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: What do you think is the biggest difference between online

319
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: Yasmine and offline Yasmin?

320
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: I would say, I think offline, I'm more just like chill.

321
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,359
Speaker 3: I think I'm more.

322
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: I get to ask you super chill, Yeah, the chill you.

323
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: I just kind of like, I don't know, I like

324
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 3: to I'm exaggerate my energy online and then in life

325
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: I'm more I don't know, I don't want to say reserved,

326
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: but I'm more kind of like go with the flow,

327
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: and I'm not as loud like I like to. I

328
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: like to sit and watch. I think that's something people

329
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 3: when they meet me and get to know me, they

330
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: don't really like real like then then they notice kind

331
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: of I'm just they're just like observing. I think that

332
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: sometimes like takes people like out of I guess the

333
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: fantasy that I present off the line, because I just like,

334
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, I genuinely just like to listen.

335
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's a misconception that a lot of

336
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: people have about creators or performers. You know you can

337
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: you can be one way offline in your real world,

338
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: and then you can turn it on and have a

339
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: character that you play exactly exactly. I was looking at

340
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: some research about creators and the creator economy, and there

341
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: are studies that show that more than half of young

342
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: people today want to be influencers. Yeah, what is your

343
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: reaction when you hear that?

344
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: It makes sense because it's the most like fast shocked

345
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: way towards like financial success and fame. But I think

346
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: also people don't talk about the behind the scenes of

347
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: keeping up with it and how like you always have

348
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 3: to like make content and then you got to reinvent

349
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: yourself and then it's also like surrounding yourself around the

350
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: right people. I think it's hard. I don't want to

351
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: say it's bad, but it's also kind of like when

352
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 3: you're young and you just kind of see the glitz

353
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 3: of it, Like, no, they don't know the hard work

354
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: that you know you have to put yourself in. And

355
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: it's like people who even do vlogging, it's like you're

356
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 3: on camera all the time, Like it's you're always on

357
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: and it's like do you do you want that? Like

358
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: all your life? Do you always want to put on

359
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: a show. Do you want to deal with like strangers

360
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: coming up to you and like, you know, the bigger

361
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: you are, Especially for social media stars, people feel more

362
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 3: like drawn to them to like reship exactly. It's like

363
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: can you deal with that? And then also it's like

364
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: when your videos aren't hitting like they used to, like

365
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: are you able to you know, like dealing with that

366
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: truth of like what do you have to do to

367
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: make things different? Like are you okay with kind of

368
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: like fading and obscurity, like and like there's alls some money.

369
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 3: So it's like it makes sense, but I think there

370
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: needs to be like this conversation of kind of like

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: you like it's it can be very fleeting, So how

372
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: do you deal with that side of being like a

373
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: social media star?

374
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: It is interesting to have this conversation right now, though,

375
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: because it certainly seems like we're at this turning point

376
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: where creators are finally being validated for doing a lot

377
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: of the work that Hollywood studios are doing and sort

378
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: of you know, stepping into those roles overcompensating is a

379
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: great example of that.

380
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: Corney.

381
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah show was how U NSO?

382
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: Show was tew you NFL my hands to hime my

383
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: hands hollow and this is how I So.

384
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: It's a show that was created by Benito Skinner, an

385
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: og TikToker, YouTuber social media personality, and he cast several

386
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: creators in the show. It really felt like it was

387
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: made by and for the creator generation.

388
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did that role come to you?

389
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: Honestly, Like we've been We've been mutuals for like a

390
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: really really long time. And then I saw the announcement

391
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god, better get.

392
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: It, like please.

393
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 3: And I was kind of like, Okay, I'm probably not

394
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: gonna get it whatever. And then I did get the

395
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 3: audition and I was like, oh fuck yes. And then

396
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: I like when I like booked in I finally we

397
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: finally met in person. He was like, yeah, like I

398
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: always wanted you for the role. We just kind of

399
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: just wanted I guess like wanted to see it, like

400
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: see it on tape. And it's like, I think Benny

401
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 3: just knows how. I think he gets the struggle because

402
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 3: he's been he's he's been doing it for all the lot.

403
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: I used to follow him. Oh my god, I was

404
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: in college when I started following him, like he was

405
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: in it. So he understands how hard it is to

406
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 3: like to break in and to get your footing, which

407
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: I think why he was so inclined to give so

408
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: many creators that opportunity because he gets it, and he

409
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 3: knows that he knows when someone's talented, and he's like,

410
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: you know, he just kind of doesn't really fall into

411
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: the bs of oh, well, like you're not you're not

412
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: a name, You're not like a name in like Hollywood

413
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: or TV. He's just like, I think you're funny, You're

414
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 3: going to be on the show, and I think, and

415
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: it pays off. It always pays off. And it also

416
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: introduces people to like fresh new faces, which I think

417
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: is something we mean more of, and we need to

418
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: encourage that. You know, there's talent everywhere and not to

419
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: just rely on who their parents are or how many

420
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 3: followers they are, just as long as they're just they're

421
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: talented and they can do the work.

422
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: So I'm going to bring us back to that video

423
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: of you making Trader Joe's.

424
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: Pasta and your lapartment.

425
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: Again.

426
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: We talked about making it and how to define that

427
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: concept in twenty twenty five. I don't know, I'm pretty

428
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: sure that you meet that definition of making it, and

429
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: I bet younger Yasmin would feel.

430
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: The same way.

431
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think is the biggest difference between

432
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: what you expected this life to be like versus what

433
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: it is now and what the reality of it is now.

434
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: I used to watch like the Oscars when I was younger,

435
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: so I imagine myself more so on like the very refined

436
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: actor side of things, and then now like seeing myself

437
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: as like still an actor, but like wearing multiple hats

438
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: and being more active like behind the scenes too. I

439
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: think that's something that I just did not really like

440
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: fully intent like in my career. But I think that's good.

441
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Like I appreciate it better.

442
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was about to say I appreciate it like

443
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: I think that's how my brain works both ways, Like

444
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: I like to perform and I also like to be

445
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: hands on. Yeah, it really worked out, Like, really appreciate

446
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 3: it more.

447
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: Think about how beautiful that is.

448
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you invested in yourself and now you're

449
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: so much more well rounded than you would have been.

450
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do agree with that.

451
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to take a short break, but

452
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: we'll be right back with Yasmin Saheed and we're back

453
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: with Yasmin Saheed, You really are a testament to the

454
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: power of investing in yourself and your creativity. If someone

455
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: listening wants to become a more creative person, what's one

456
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: thing that they should do today.

457
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 3: I always say, like the hardest part is starting, So

458
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 3: just trying to whatever you're thinking of doing, just like

459
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: start it, writing it, start filming it, start planning it.

460
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: And that's like the biggest advice I can give, just

461
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: to just to start.

462
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: I think that's the best advice, Yeah, to anyone who

463
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: wants to be more creative.

464
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we often let the fears get in the

465
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: way of just starting.

466
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600
