So an episode of Shameless 94 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 4: Podcasts in conversation with Stephen Bartlett highly recommend. I thought 95 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 4: his perspective on like success and routines. I found it 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 4: so interesting and I'm recommending this second episode because I 97 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 4: actually listened to it straight after and it's an episode 98 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: of the Armchair Expert podcast where they interviewed Jason Derulo 99 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: and he has like the polar opposite opinion to Stephen 100 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: on routines, like it is his holy grail. And they 101 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: were talking about how much as creatives, when they need 102 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 4: to be creative, their routine is like as strict as possible. 103 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: They eat at the same time, wake up at the 104 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 4: same time, everything is the same. And I just found 105 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 4: sort of such a contrasting thing from two people who 106 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 4: are quote unquote very successful in different places, really interesting 107 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: to listen to see. 108 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: I listened to the episode with Stephen too, and I 109 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: first of all, I loved it, highly recommend but I 110 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: kind of not disagreed, but because I am such a 111 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: routine person, I agree with the fact of it only 112 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: works if you think it works. Yes, it's like typical 113 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: manifesting one oh one. Yeah, like if you think this 114 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: is the key to your like like Jason being like 115 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: this is the holy grail, then that's what it is. 116 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: With Steven's like, no, this actually doesn't matter, so that 117 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: also works. 118 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you see It's so interesting. 119 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: Which I'm like, hmm, was for me. I am a 120 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: routine person, So I do find that. I'm like, no, 121 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: that's actually something that does need to be consistent in 122 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: my life. 123 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: I'm with you are the routines. 124 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: So I'm like, yeah, he was a bit of a mind. 125 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: Yeah he laughed because I agreed with him.

So I graduated high school and 179 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: I did a double degree in human services and criminology. 180 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: And when I finished that, I went straight into being 181 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: a parole officer for the Queensland government for a couple 182 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: of years. 183 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: So random and brogue. 184 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: I love it. 185 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: Yes. 186 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: So when I finished up there, I went into working 187 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 3: with kids out of home care under the care of 188 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: Child Safety. So I was a youth a youth worker, 189 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: and then I moved my way into a case management 190 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: position and then decided that I was going to give 191 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: up that career altogether and I became a DJ, which 192 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: I'm still doing today. And then I started working for 193 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 3: LSKD one day a week and progressively went into full 194 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 3: time work. Obviously, when COVID hit. My gigs kind of 195 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 3: dried up for a long period of time there, so 196 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: that's kind of where we are now. 197 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: It's so funny. 198 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: I actually did not even know that, Like I knew, 199 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: I knew about I knew, I knew the DJ background 200 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: and everything, because I remember when we first worked together, 201 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: because you've always been my contact, and you know, we've 202 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: been working together for four or five years, and I 203 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: remember figuring out you're a DJ and being like, oh 204 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: my god, that's so cool. 205 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: What's your DJ name again? 206 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: Zeta Gray, Zeta Gray, Peter Gray. 207 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: I love all the snippets.

In terms of books, 375 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: Delivering Happiness by Tony Say is all about customer experience, 376 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 3: a community experience, and providing incredible support. I can't remember 377 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: what the zappos. Zappos was a company, so it's kind 378 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 3: of like Amazon, and it was you know, people could 379 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 3: literally call them up and or like find out where 380 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: the local pizza shop was, even though that's nothing that 381 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: they sold or anything, but it was providing really great 382 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 3: experience to the team.

Obviously I 384 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: know my own experience, but how did you guys build 385 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: strong relationships with athletes and influences in the early stages 386 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: of l skating when you didn't have as many you know, 387 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: resources and budgets, Like what was kind of the key 388 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: thing you looked to? 389 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 3: It was really tough. Back in the olden days five 390 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 3: years ago. We'll see the olden days, olden days back 391 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 3: five years ago when I started will still lki so 392 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 3: and our women's wear was nowhere where it is today 393 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 3: and we'd flipped from you know, thirty percent female to 394 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: now seventy percent female in the business. It's been amazing 395 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 3: seeing that journey over the years where now we have 396 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 3: so many people and brands and incredible people coming to 397 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 3: us wanting to work with us, and just seeing that shift. 398 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 3: But I think in terms of your question, and you know, 399 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 3: how do we go about building those relationships, it is, 400 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 3: you know, finding people that are aligned to the direction 401 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: that we're going in, finding people who aligned to our 402 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 3: mission and values, and finding people too, like would we 403 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: hire them in our internal team If we wouldn't have 404 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: them as a part of our internal team, probably not 405 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: the best fit. So just making people feel valued and 406 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 3: we're listening to them and we're working with them to 407 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 3: build their own businesses and brands themselves. I think it's 408 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: been really exciting to see. 409 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: And I love that because even me and Cooper have 410 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: had the discussions of like people we work with more 411 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: in like a stakeholder, you know, situation in NH is 412 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: like if you wouldn't want to, like go out and 413 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: have lunch with them and spend some time with them, 414 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: we don't want to do business with them, if that 415 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: makes sense, like you want to Again, it's not just 416 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: this transaction. It has to feel aligned. And I feel 417 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: like you can really feel that in luscating, which is again, 418 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: like you said, it's hard at the start when it's 419 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: almost like you can't be bicky, but if you stick 420 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: to it, it will show. And it's like obviously shown 421 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: so hugely with you guys. 422 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: And I think it's important too to work out the 423 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: people that you're wanting to work with and build relationships with. 424 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: You know, do they have the communities that you're trying 425 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: to tap into as a brand, Do they have a 426 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: similar communities to you? Are they you know, is it 427 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 3: brand awareness, is it revenue, is it sales orientated, or 428 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 3: is it content? You know, there's so many different ways 429 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 3: you can work with, so many different creators or business 430 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: owners or whatever, So really understanding what you're trying to 431 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 3: achieve and how to get there. And also you can't 432 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 3: underestimate the value of your micro or nano influencer, you know, 433 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 3: as a brand. Lscadia doesn't traditionally roll into And I 434 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 3: think we've we've got a question coming up that's like 435 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: issues or like the biggest challenges challenges around you know, 436 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: in that space. And I think you know, we've spent 437 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: many years kind of tapping into the influencer space, but 438 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 3: for us as a brand, influencers in the traditional sense, 439 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: don't really align to our mission and values and where 440 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: we're going as a brand. For someone like you, it's different, 441 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 3: Like I wouldn't I wouldn't put you in this specialencer 442 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 3: bucket because you are entrepreneurial, you're very business orientated, you 443 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: have a really strong connection with your community, and you're 444 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: helping everyone to grow. You know, your inspirational rather than influence, 445 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 3: like you're not an influencer. Like yeah, so you're kind 446 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 3: of in a different bucket. But it's about finding other 447 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 3: you know, ambassadorsm people like you who have that really 448 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 3: nice business mindset. You're trying to be one percent better. 449 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: You know, you aligned to our mission and value so well. 450 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: So I think that's why the relationship works so great. 451 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: Continue to talk about the challenges because that's so true. 452 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: And I somethink why I have always you know, like 453 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: we said in the intro, I been working with you 454 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: guys for. 455 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: Is it four years? 456 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen alive? Yeah, is when we started. 457 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: Working together so longer and wow, And something I love 458 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: about is yeah, like I've always seen you work with 459 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: aligned people. It's never been a situation where I've seen you. 460 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to use the words like sell out, 461 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: but like kind of you know, when you see a 462 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: brand and they clearly have gotten budget and they're working 463 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: with a certain person that you're like, oh wow, they've 464 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: got budget for this person. 465 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 3: And they you know, just looking for the audience. 466 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: And I've always seen as lot, like the whole time 467 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: I've been working with you guys, who you work with 468 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: the content I see and how aligned it is and 469 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: how like you can feel that through the screen, if 470 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense, And I think that's why you guys 471 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: are now like just absolutely dominating because you've. 472 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,239 Speaker 2: Always stuck to that. 473 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: But please tell us, like, what are some other challenges 474 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: and lessons that you've had in your career. 475 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 3: I think getting to the point we are now where 476 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: you're saying, you know, everything feels so aligned, we definitely 477 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 3: had to go through many periods of trying to find 478 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 3: what that looked like. So, you know, back when I 479 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 3: first started, it was still that kind of influencer era, 480 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 3: and it was very fashion kind of influencers, and we 481 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 3: wasted a lot of money with agencies and different influences 482 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 3: that you know, just didn't return. You know, we went 483 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: through that stage of more followers meant more conversions or 484 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 3: more followers meant more brand awareness and that's just not 485 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 3: the case. So once we really got clear in our 486 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 3: mission and our values, and we're constantly talking about this 487 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: as a brand every single day, but I think that 488 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: is the secret source. It's you know, what is our mission, 489 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 3: what is our values? What are we trying to represent 490 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 3: as a brand, what is bigger than ourselves? And then 491 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 3: who are those people that aligned to that? So us 492 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: as a brand moving very much into our functional sports 493 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: wear with a street aesthetic. That's kind of our point 494 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: of difference as a brand. We're not super fashioning, but 495 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: we have a street edge. And then who are those 496 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 3: people that aligned to that? It's athletes, it's people wanting 497 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 3: to be one percent better, whether it's you know, your 498 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 3: local trainer in a gym. We have some fantastic relationships 499 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: with local gyms. And because we all found as ourself, 500 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 3: like as employees at LSKAD, we're all training and group 501 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 3: fitness classes. We're all going to see our favorite trainers 502 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: and like, oh, what are they wearing? What are they 503 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 3: you know, what's that size? Like, Oh, I've seen that online? 504 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on it? And we're like, hey, 505 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 3: they're our influences. Yeah, you know those local gyms, local 506 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 3: fitness people.

You do need a blazer, so you know, 674 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 3: it really made sense to do a. 675 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: Blazer for this collection, and it almost I guess it 676 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: gives you guys more permission to color outside the lines 677 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: because it's like, yeah, well we don't usually do this, 678 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: but you know we can with Georgie because it makes 679 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: sense for her and as a business that is quite exciting, 680 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: like I know in n H like, it's very exciting 681 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: when you can collaborate with someone that and it does 682 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: aligne but it's almost like that little step outside everyone's 683 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: comfort zone and it's also you know, very exciting. 684 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 2: So yeah, that makes complete sense. 685 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 3: It makes me think of another book, a Motion by Design. 686 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 3: I believe it's by Greg Hoffman. He used to work 687 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 3: at Nike back in the day. But it's around finding 688 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 3: those different nonlinear ideas where you know, one plus one 689 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 3: equals three. So I feel like the Blazer Llas Katie 690 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 3: and Georgie. You know, it's one plus one equals three. 691 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 3: It's not something that we would do. It doesn't make sense. 692 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 3: But when you've got Georgie and Las Katie together, it 693 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 3: does make sense. 694 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 2: I I love that. 695 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna read that book to all the books guys, 696 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: perfect and too.

I get to get clear on what 706 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: I want. I get to recalibrate and step into this 707 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: new person.

And I really love that we're 721 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: moving into this eraror of being so multifacet and giving 722 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: ourselves permission and how exciting like if like you said, 723 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: like look at my last collection with LSKT and then 724 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: this new one. They are so different, but both are 725 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,959 Speaker 1: a reflection of me, and like, how incredible that I've 726 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: changed that much. 727 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 3: And it's okay to change and grow, you know, I've 728 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 3: always I really resonated with the you know, moved different 729 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 3: if you want different mantra that you had for this year, 730 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 3: which which is the whole reason for this collection. You know, 731 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 3: that is the guiding light. I guess you could say. 732 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 3: I've always said, you know, if you don't like something, 733 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 3: change it, And that's you know, even my own career 734 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 3: over the years. You know, I got to twenty sixteen 735 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 3: and working in child safety, and I went, you know 736 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 3: what this is too much. I need to change it up. 737 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 3: Became a DJ, still doing that whatever, and that went 738 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 3: for a great brand, you know in in club moved 739 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 3: Different If you want different. 740 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 2: Liked game. 741 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, like you said, give yourself permission to grow and 742 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 3: change and try different things. You know, we all grow up. 743 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 3: I think there's is still this mentality you meant to 744 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 3: know what want to do with the rest of your 745 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 3: life in school and then you've got to go to 746 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 3: UNI or get a trade or like whatever that looks like. 747 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: And that's where you're stuck. And it's that, you know, 748 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 3: a lot of our parents' kind of mindsets back in 749 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: the day was you went into a job and you 750 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 3: stayed into that job, and then you know, you grew 751 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 3: up and you got married and you had a family, 752 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 3: and then that was kind of it. And I think 753 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 3: we have the whole world at our fingertips and so 754 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 3: many opportunities to move different. If we want different, to 755 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 3: fail forwards, we can fail and get back up and 756 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 3: try again. You know. I think that is the meaning 757 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 3: behind the collection and is encouraging other people to take 758 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 3: a risk, do something different. 759 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: And I love also if you even think of you know, 760 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: LSKD like you guys did start from LKI to loose 761 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: Gedler and then look at you now and it's such 762 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: a beautiful evolution to you know, see the brand do 763 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: that because not only are you guys, you know, you 764 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: have such beautiful values, but just by role modeling, if 765 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: you want different, move different, and you guys have done that. 766 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 2: So I love that.
