1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to your diary episode. Here's the thing. I'm a

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: bit of a nomad, so these episodes come to from

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, so

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what's going on in my world,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: from book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: discoveries to swimming in Hidden Byron Bay Beaches. Come with

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: me as I share my adventures with you. Hello, LA Diary,

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Real talk a dish. If you tuned in last week,

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: you'll know that these La Diaries are just going to

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: be very honest about LA. I don't want to sugarcoat it.

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: I want to give it to you real. I will

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: share the wins, the rejection, the failures, the setbacks, and

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I think what last week's episode was a real honest

14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: check in around the setback side of it and the

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 1: frustration that comes with the setbacks and finding a way

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: to essentially survive in LA. And the feedback was so

17
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: lovely and I think more people reached out to me

18
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: about that episode than they have in such a long time.

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: So I'm going to stick to this real talk La Diaries,

20
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: and it will still be a diary format in that

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you what's happened this week

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: and just explain the reality of it here. So I

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: think I mentioned to you last week. I have a

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: commercial agent that literally means you audition for ads, commercials, TV, print,

25
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: and then I have a voiceover agent. They kind of

26
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: look after influence the stuff too, but I don't think

27
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: it's their main bag because not much as come in,

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: but they're really good at doing check ins and like

29
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: helping you skill up. So on Tuesday this week, I

30
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: had a check in. It was they called it a

31
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: coffee catch up with the head of all commercial kind

32
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: of agents within this agency, and I was so fat.

33
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: So we were all invite. All the talent was invited,

34
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: and I wrote, I took notes, and I kept watching

35
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: the little zoom thing like tell me how many people

36
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: were in the room. And it was kind of eye

37
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: opening because technically I am like, they're my agent here,

38
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, I wonder, like how many people

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: they have in their books essentially, and I was watching

40
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: this little like countermeter go up. It was over one

41
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: hundred and I got there early and I was watching

42
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: went up to one forty, then one fifty three, then

43
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: one sixty three, then one sixty nine, and kind of

44
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: peaked at one seventy. Now, of course not every actor

45
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: is going to be on that call as well. I'm

46
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: presuming at least at least thirty percent didn't make it,

47
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: at least maybe half, So that means I'm potentially one

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: of three hundred people. In their books. They are great

49
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: agents though, so happy days. But I do think because

50
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: my career is quite like has many arms to it,

51
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: whether it's the pod, whether it's books, whether it's voiceover,

52
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: commercial acting, TV hosting, I probably need something as bespoke

53
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: the right word. I just need something a little bit

54
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: in nuance. Anyway, Again, like I said last week, there's

55
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: a difference between an agent and a manager. So this

56
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: is really interesting. They were talking about like when the

57
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: industry gets quiet and when the industry gets busy, there's

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: a big SAG meeting, and that's the Screen Actors Guild

59
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: of America. I hope I'm saying that right. There's a

60
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: big SAG meeting coming up at the end of October,

61
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: and they were saying what we should be asking for.

62
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Very fascinating, but it was cool to learn about, like

63
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: dates when things quietened down in LA, like famously. Basically

64
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: what we've just been in here in LA is summer.

65
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 1: Summer really quietens down, and then it picks up again

66
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: in fall, which is where we are right now, and

67
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: then it carries through until about the fifteenth of December.

68
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: But a lot of other people have told me no,

69
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving it super quiet in LA but then apparently

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: picks up quite quickly early jan because you've got all

71
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl commercials. So I mean, look, boss and

72
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I are staying put for the whole holiday season. Sort

73
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: of interesting to see what it's like. It was good

74
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: to get a lay of the land and understand like

75
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: the booking dates and how it works. Apparently commercial auditions

76
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: in America have gone back to in person. Now. I

77
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: haven't had one in person commercial audition callback from these guys.

78
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: I've had auditions, but they've all been self tapes. And

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: I saw one audition that one of their talent booked

80
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: that I all saw audition for and the audition was

81
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: like one week and the actual commercial came out a

82
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: week later. So the turnaround is tight. Like you'll get

83
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the audition, then you'll have usually that day, if you're lucky,

84
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: you'll have overnight to prep the audition and then deliver

85
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: it the next morning, but often it's same day turnaround.

86
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: Same with voiceover. So I then had my voiceover agents.

87
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: I had a meeting with the next saying and that

88
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: was amazing. That was one on one, So that was

89
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: really exciting because you can prepare a piece and I

90
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: just prepared and add that i'd actually done for this

91
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: podcast for a health insurance company, and I took that in.

92
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: I was like, this is something that I literally did.

93
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Give me feedback and it was really great feedback. It

94
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: was like please, like it was like keep it naturalistic

95
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: and super conversational, which I did, but they're like, you've

96
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: got to steal it's called billboarding the brand name. So

97
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at one of Matt's shirts here and it's

98
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: a roller's shirt and it's just making sure you land rollers,

99
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So that was cool, really good feedback,

100
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: and I asked a few industry questions and I asked

101
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: about them recommending me doing a video like a voiceover workshop,

102
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: so that was really fascinating and learn lots of stuff.

103
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: So they're technically a couple of wins of the Week

104
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: because I was able to like have some information because

105
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: often there's no information that said. The day before that

106
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: voice over check in, a voiceover audition came in. I

107
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: was working in the yoga studio. I just got to

108
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: work on this particular day. I was working in night shift,

109
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: which means I start at twelve midday, and I worked

110
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: through it to all about nine p thirty. And I'd

111
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: got there at twelve and we were interviewing new staff

112
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: at two pm. And I remember I quickly checked my

113
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: phone as we were walking the interviewees into the yoga

114
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: room to do an interview, and I was like and

115
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: it just said same day audition. And I was like, shiver,

116
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: meet Timbers. How how am I gonna Maguy for this one?

117
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I had none of my pod gear with me. It

118
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: was Jue. So it came through at two pm. It

119
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: was July five point thirty, so that's a three and

120
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: a half hour turnaround. They wanted to reads of two

121
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: separate auditions, like the same company, but two. Actually it

122
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: was three chunks of text. You don't need to be

123
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: off book for voiceover, obviously you can read it, so

124
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: that does take a bit of the stress away. But

125
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, great, So we did this interview

126
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: with these kids for the yoga studio and that took

127
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: about an hour, and then my big boss was out

128
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, this voiceover audition has just

129
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: come in. I'm gonna have to use my lunch break,

130
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: like cause I get a in California, you have to

131
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: take a break after you've worked five hours. It's Cali

132
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: law stuff. And I was like, I'm gonna for my

133
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: lunch break, I'm gonna have to do this audition and

134
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: I have to time it. I was going to do

135
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: it in one of the yoga rooms, and I had

136
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: to time it so that it wasn't a class anyway.

137
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: I finally time it. I'm like, great, this room is

138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: going to be empty. The heat wasn't on at this

139
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: stage of the game, so I could go in and

140
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: record this interview, but the humidifier had to be on

141
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: because I'm sharing way. But the humifier was like anyway,

142
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: the humidfier is effing loud, and I was like, oh

143
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: my god, I can't do it in there. Then I

144
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: was thinking of other areas and they're all big spaces,

145
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: and for anyone that works with sound, you need a

146
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: small space. And I was like, all right, stuff it.

147
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to do this in the car. So I

148
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: go down record the voice audition, do three takes, record

149
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: it in the car, send it to boss. Matt is

150
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: a composer, so he is able to kind of like

151
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: make it sound less like it's recorded on a phone

152
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: and in a car. So Matt did like some magical

153
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: work on it. I don't know what. He sends it

154
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: back to me, and then I deliver it at five

155
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: pm to my agents. And that is how that voice

156
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: audition went. And then I just went straight back to

157
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: work and finished my shift at the Yogresto and taught

158
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: some in But and that might be like, great, that's

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: what you've signed up for, lawla totally how good that

160
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: I was able to get done. But I just want

161
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: you to know that's the end of that transaction. So

162
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: I won't hear anything. I won't hear Oh that bit

163
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: worked really well. You didn't land that bit properly, but

164
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: just so you know they did like you, none of that.

165
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: The only time you hear anything is if you book anything.

166
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: And the only way to make money as an actor

167
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: or voice actor is to book. And so is this

168
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: wild kind of cycle of like being in the training

169
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: and then there's a huge gap, and I talk about

170
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: a lot between the training and then actually booking work

171
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: or doing all the training and actually having the right reps.

172
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: It's quite fascinating. But that did happen. So I always

173
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: do feel good when an audition comes in because it

174
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: gives me something creative to focus on, even if it

175
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: is a commercial audition. And then this morning, I also

176
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: have the ability to self submit, and I really want

177
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: to do a Christmas commercial or a Christmas show because

178
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: I love Christmas, and the Christmas commercials are rolling in now.

179
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: None are coming from my agents at the moment. But

180
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: I can self submit, which means I have access to

181
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: submit myself on the online platforms here in America, which

182
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I've been doing. But again, if I self submit, say

183
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: ten auditions a day, which is quite low, but for

184
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: argument's sake, ten auditions a day, again, you don't hear

185
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: back and you might get one out of one hundred callbacks.

186
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: So it is a really funky position to be in.

187
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: It is the way is the way to put it.

188
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: But again, like I do want this to be a

189
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: really honest check in. I don't want this to be

190
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: like woe is me kind of vibes, but I also

191
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: don't want a sugarcoat. I just want to be very

192
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: very real and really really honest with you. And what

193
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: was really nice is we had an Aussie bud over

194
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: for dinner Sunday night and we made a roast. Because

195
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Americans roasts are not well you probably know this there.

196
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: I believe they're British, but Ossie's obviously love a good

197
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: roast too, and we had an Aussie made over and

198
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: made a roast, and it just felt so nice to

199
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: connect with another actor that is in the industry that

200
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, gets it and understands that it is a

201
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: little bit it can be a little bit of you know,

202
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: a slog a rooning. But that is the week that

203
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: was as far as auditions go, I have decided after

204
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: last Friday's diary check in that I'm working really hard

205
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: to like stay in a pol mindset as opposed to

206
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: I was for about the last if I'm honest, like,

207
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: we had a little bit of a rocky start here

208
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: when we first got here, and then it was just

209
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: survival for three months and then I got the was

210
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: able to work the job. But it's been forty hours

211
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: a week, but fifty with commuting, and I've probably been

212
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Debbie downer and a bit

213
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: nego and so I've really focused. I really like beings

214
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: by bour friend that came over on Sunday, just to

215
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of like find the positive in it and just

216
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: kind of roll with it and know that I am

217
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: really lucky to even be here, and like I'm a

218
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: resilient kind of person and a resourceful kind of person.

219
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: So I'm like, let's just keep going day to time,

220
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: one foot in front of the other. But this will

221
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: now be the tone of this Friday pot It was

222
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: be like really honest, like this is the week that was,

223
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: this is what's happened, and you know, hopefully you like it.

224
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: I'll always give it to you real, I'm not going

225
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: to sugarcoat and hopefully in some capacity it might inspire you, hopefully,

226
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: but if it doesn't, it doesn't, you know. So that's me.

227
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: And today's my day off. So I get Thursdays off

228
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: and I get Sundays off, and I'm recording this diary

229
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: on a Thursday. And I crought up with another wonderful

230
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: Aussie creative this morning and we talked about shared humanity

231
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: and so sharing even when the chips feel like they're

232
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: against you all when the chips feel down, and so that,

233
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: I think is like another reason why I want to

234
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: keep this as a really honest chitty shadow with you.

235
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: And then next Sunday We're having dinner with another Aussie

236
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: act and just that kind of like keeping those creative

237
00:13:53,280 --> 00:14:00,239
Speaker 1: friends like around and I think also having friends around

238
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: you that one are creative so they get it, but

239
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: two are like our marching to the beat of their

240
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: own drum, are kind of like doing the thing, and

241
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: I think that that's highly empowering as well, even when

242
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: there are setbacks. So anyway, that's me. I am about

243
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: to go and do I do pod coaching for an

244
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Aussie influencer. I'm going to go and jump on zoom

245
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: and do a coaching and then I am doing all

246
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: health and moness coaching as well, So I do them

247
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: all in the Australian day on my days off or

248
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: if I get home from working time. So yeah, that's

249
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: me Gang. So I'm in. I'm in it, but I

250
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: feel like I'm trying to hunt for the good now

251
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: like that I learned that saying. I don't know if

252
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: I talked about this last week, but from who kyleen

253
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Berg Kyleinberg, Yes, I'm saying that right. He's got a

254
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: book called The Result. It's project, and he talks about

255
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: that military training of like hunting for the good, like

256
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: being able to find the good even in a shitty situation.

257
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: And so that is kind of like my method right now.

258
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Who knows how long it will last, but that's where

259
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm at. I had another wonderful friend reach out to

260
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: me and say, look, I think you should meet this manager.

261
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: I think you should meet this manager and like told

262
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: me the companies and it's one and it was so

263
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: lovely and so helpful. But like this is the other thing,

264
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Like you can't get anyone's personal emails. They're all like

265
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: gate kept and not gate kept by the person who

266
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: talking about, like you just can't find them whether you've

267
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: got IMDb pro, whether you've got LinkedIn, whether you've got there,

268
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: whether they've got a website or not. It is all

269
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: a real kind of like mag Iv. I'm definitely showing

270
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: my age is a millennial there, but it's a Maguiva

271
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: kind of situation where you're just like a detective trying

272
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: to find the best contact to move forward anyway. That's

273
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: a week was boss and I just had a rip

274
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: a lunch at Air one. He got pizza and I

275
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: got hot bar. I got this like beautiful chickpea curry,

276
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: which I really loved, and then I got some KAlP

277
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: noodles and then buffalo cauliflower, which is kind of what

278
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: they're famous for, and these amazing I think they're called

279
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: like Russian little Russian potatoes. Anyway, ten out of ten

280
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: loved it, and your Monday episode is going to be

281
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: I know, I did a health episode on detoxification a

282
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. This Monday episode is on mythbusting all

283
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: around health, health and wellness. I am trying to pop

284
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: a couple of health epps in like every third or

285
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: fourth epp, just for fun and because I think going

286
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: on the feedback, you kind of like the health stuff,

287
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: so that's why they exist, and the moment you get

288
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: over them, you let me know. You let me know.

289
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: And then after that the week after that, you've got

290
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: Michael Gallian, who is an incredible mindfulness meditation life coach. Here.

291
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah that's me all right, Ganngles hooru. I'll see you

292
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: in a week for another la real talk and hope
