You've put a lot of work 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: into this. 38 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: There is some crazy statistic like that pods don't live 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: more than like, isn't it something like one hundred episodes? 40 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: I think it's probably less less, like like like any 41 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: kind of creative endeavors there, they're coming to fashion, They're 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: like a flash in the pan, and then people don't 43 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: have that stickability to continue to do them, you know, 44 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: like stickability. 45 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: Stickability is that a word? 46 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: I love it? Like resilience. 47 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because it is a lot. 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: Here's why I tell anybody, because I coach people on podcasting. 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: Here's what I tell anybody about podcasting. Podcasting rewards hard work, 50 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: Like if you stick with it and you just keep going, 51 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: keep going, keep going, and it might not be profitable, 52 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: they say in America, they say podcasts aren't profitable. Into 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: your average downloads per episode sit between three and five thousand, 54 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: So that means like a huge percentage are going to 55 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: be sitting at like you know, you're just doing it 56 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: for the passion of it. Yeah, exactly, which like this 57 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: that's how this started, Yeah, of course, and it continues 58 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: like that is how this pot is navigated. Like I 59 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: still book all the guests, still do all the show notes, 60 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: you do all the production side of it, and we 61 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: pitch ourselves like we pitch to guests. Guests do get 62 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: pitched to us. But if it's not the right fit, 63 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: I this is like a baby to me, Like I 64 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: protect it. Yeah, you do good job. Well, I'm just 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: talking about a little bit the beat behind the scenes. 66 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: Wait, I think like anything, it's it requires so much 67 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: more work than anybody would ever think. Yeah, and I 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: think it only gets it. 69 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: Gets harder before it gets easier. 70 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Well, and there's this kind of like EBB and flow, 71 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: like you'll have like a really you'll just have a 72 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: really good month, where for me sometimes I get booked. 73 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: So there's a difference between you can you might know 74 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: the terminology better than me. But there's a difference between 75 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: like ads that just pop up like pre mid and 76 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: en roll versus a host reading read right, and and 77 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: so if you get a host read that's a really 78 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: nice payday. But but host reads you can get like 79 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: four in a row and then nothing for six months. Yeah, exactly, 80 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: Like that's kind of like what's kind of like, yeah. 81 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: Your sponsored ads, But yeah, I think like you know 82 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 3: as well, you can't do constant sponsored ads on a podcast. 83 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: Well, I so I just have a little bit of 84 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: a note here because I'm a bit of a nerd 85 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: with preparing this come for So don't let your podcast 86 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: content get too comfortable. The comfort zone is the dead zone. 87 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: Do you like that? 88 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: Five creative risks that actually pay off? 89 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: Okay? 90 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Call out call out bs Okay, but that's fine, we 91 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: don't really do that. Share your biggest failures. Hello, Hello, 92 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: That's what the POD's called. Feel see failure, it says 93 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 1: with receipts, So like, don't just say I failed show 94 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: revenue loss, like share an unhappy customer email, like make 95 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: it real, talk about the sleepless nights and the tough 96 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: days and all of that, which I feel like that's 97 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: kind of very us. The other one is like, show 98 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: your unpolished process. Well, that's me. We keep We rarely 99 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: hit it unless a client asks us for or they 100 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: have a massive coughing fit or something like that, and 101 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: set public deadlines and goals. Ooh, public failure and loss 102 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: of credibility is the risk. But why it works is 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: people love following a journey, especially when the outcome is uncerned. Yeah, 104 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: that's me with the acting. Yeah, I just I just 105 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: like to throw a little bit of tipbit information in 106 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: there because people that listen to this might be a podcaster. 107 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. 108 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 3: And I think like as well, you know, you do 109 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: have to decide, like you know why why you are 110 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: doing a podcast and what you are doing it for. 111 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: You know. 112 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: I don't think like you can just start a podcast 113 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: because I want to like make money or whatever. It 114 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: is like it has to start from like a passion, 115 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 3: has to start from something that inspires you to like 116 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: talk about and not just have like random conversations. 117 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: Well yeah, and I don't think it works if you 118 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: copy somebody else's format either. 119 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 120 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: I think another cool thing that I read learning about 121 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: pods is give the listener a problem and the solution 122 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,799 Speaker 1: so with us with this podcast feelessly failing. The problem 123 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: is like sometimes we're too scared to chase our dreams 124 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: or follow our dreams. And the solution is injuring people 125 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: who've done that thing, all in a bid to inspire 126 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: us to like, you know, fan that flicker of a 127 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: flame in our hearts and turn it into wildfire.

We've covered a lot of 392 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: natural disasters boo yeah, fire and by floods. We've literally 393 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: lived through La wildfires. Yeah, the cyclone when we went 394 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: back there was a cyclone. Yeah, And I was thinking, 395 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: another interesting thing that I covered when I quarantined when 396 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: I came back to bring out the book feelessly failing, 397 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: and then I had to quarantine in Sydney for two 398 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: weeks in a hotel. There's a whole app around that. 399 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember. We definitely have been like through it. 400 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. 401 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think we have that is. 402 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: Flood the natural disasters. I feel like my resilience for 403 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 2: natural disasters is just like gone through the roof. 404 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: Remember last year I had a special psychologist on that 405 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: specializes in natural disasters. That was a really good app 406 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: to look. So all this to say to you, the listener, 407 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: thank you, because it wonn't exist without you guys. So, okay, 408 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: can we be really honest? So what's been some hard 409 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: points of the pod? Like let's share the truth, like 410 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: let's be real. I think there's been hard points at 411 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: all different phases. So obviously when we were starting, you 412 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: know that the hard parts of that is trying to 413 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: figure everything out and to be honest, like you know, 414 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: not talking my chaff. But you do have a music 415 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: producer slash composer of a boyfriend, so there are some 416 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: interchangeable skills there. So I think, you know, for other 417 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: people that would be a hurdle, you know, like getting 418 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: the sound right and recording and equipment to buy and 419 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: what microphones and but you know, we still had our 420 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: own challenges there, like had to be researched, had to 421 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: be and to be honest. We also started like six 422 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: years ago. The podcast space wasn't at like that big. 423 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: It was still very small. 424 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 3: There was only like a few podcasts of people that 425 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 3: we knew, you know, a very very small amount of 426 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: like there was no like all the big influencer podcasts 427 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 3: and all the like the bs that they put out 428 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: now you know truth bum oh god. So I think 429 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 3: that that's a hurdle. Another hurdle is, yeah, constantly finding guests, 430 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 3: researching and you know, like making sure they're right for 431 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: the format and their stories and they're not just these 432 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 3: like someone's like, oh, I have a story, I'm self 433 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: indulgent or like, you know, I want to tell my 434 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: grief story or I want to tell my birth story. 435 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: Like it's you know, there are podcasts for that for that, yeah, exactly. 436 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 3: So you've got to be like what fits in with 437 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: like our you know, genre and story and what we're about. 438 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 3: And it's like so yeah, like that that's a hurdle. 439 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: I think online recording is a hurdle. Like obviously we've 440 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: done the odd zoom pod here and there. Like Joe 441 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: Wick's a really good example body Coach. He talked about 442 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: some really heavy stuff with his dad, like really really 443 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: heavy stuff and it was amazing. He was like, how 444 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: deep do you want to go? Loss? Because we'd toured 445 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: together in Australia, so we already had an existing friendship, 446 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, let's go deep and so he 447 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: went there. But you're on zoom and so if I 448 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: got to chat with him in real life. 449 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 2: Oh emotional. 450 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: Well, I think now that you bring up Zoom as well, 451 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 3: like COVID, definitely was a hard and interesting time. Yeah, 452 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 3: you know, everything was online during that phase. So although 453 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 3: it was kind of like in a way almost easier 454 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 3: to get guests because everyone was just home doing that, 455 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 3: it was I think harder, yeah, because. 456 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: The connection and keep the integrity of sound quality and 457 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: the amount of times I've booked guests through publicists and 458 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, they must have their own mic, they must 459 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: have me to deliver me there. And out of all 460 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: the guests we've done online, the only person that's done that. 461 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: Two people have done that. Actually, do you know who 462 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: doctor Carl? He recorded his own audio own centers the 463 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: file straight away actor superhandsome actor Joel Jackson. 464 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah that's right. 465 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was like on it and was like 466 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: boom and then like trying to do music stuff with you. 467 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: He was like creative, ready to roll. Yeah, it's just 468 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: so those things I would say logistics. I always say 469 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: to people, try to have a few EPs in the 470 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: can ahead, Oh you need to. Well that said, we 471 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: don't have a few epps in the can right now, 472 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: like we're recording this. It's going to come out in 473 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: a couple of hours. But usually we have a couple 474 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: of epps in the can, Like when I go to 475 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: Australia we record, I do two full recording days, one 476 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: in Melbourne and one in Sydney, and it's kind of 477 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: five six guests a day, like it's insane. But then 478 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: we bank them and then we've got them for releasing 479 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: down line, And I. 480 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 3: Think people don't realize that. You know, we do travel 481 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 3: quite a lot for the podcast. Yeah, so yeah, you know, 482 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: recording in Sydney, recording in Melbourne, wherever we are.

We? 550 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: Really? Yeah? 551 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: What was it? What it sets back? Like two and 552 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: a half grand? No less twelve hundred bucks? Yeah, Also 553 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: just on the investment piece in Obviously in Australia we 554 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: have access to studios to film in and filmed podcasting 555 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: is like a really big thing now. That's where it's 556 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: moving that way quite dramatically. Eighty one percent of people 557 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: in America prefer to watch them listen. Isn't that fascinating? 558 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 2: It's interesting. 559 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: So we've been when we book guests in America, I 560 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: hire a studio. The cost of that, you got to 561 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: hire the studio, you got to hire an editor for videos, 562 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: like it turns very quickly into a five hundred dollars project. 563 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: So like That's why I don't commit to always being 564 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: able to film the whole film really big guess or 565 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: people that specify, hey, I really want this filmed, can 566 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: we please do it? And I'll be like, this is 567 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: the budget? Do you want to help with the butt? Like, 568 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm really transparent about that, And I think that that's 569 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: really key because if you want to stay consistent, you 570 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: need to be able to manage the finances to keep 571 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: it consistent as well. Yeah, it's just something to be 572 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 1: aware of. But also the visual is now a big thing. 573 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: You've got to learn the business of it as well. 574 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: You've got to learn the whole. 575 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: Business, as with any creative career. 576 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: Cool, you know what's next on your list? 577 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: Well? Then, so we've talked about like the pain points 578 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: of podcasting and the hard kind of like things to 579 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: navigate and it's such a moving beast. But what are 580 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: the things that you think have worked? 581 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: And like the. 582 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: Highlines, definitely, I think I think the stuff with more depth, 583 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 3: more connection, more heartfelt stories is what works. 584 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: Longevity and vulnerability. 585 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: I don't I don't think and I don't mean this 586 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 3: in a bad way, but I don't think that just 587 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 3: like and as well, this isn't the podcast, Like, obviously 588 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 3: we cealerate failure and business and stuff like that, but 589 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 3: I don't think that just having like a like it's 590 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: not a you know, pregnancy. 591 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 2: Podcast or a grief podcast or whatever. 592 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 3: So I think those stories suit better in those specific 593 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 3: genre of podcasts. And unfortunately, I think that we have 594 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 3: become a bit of a narcissistic society that we all 595 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 3: think that our story is valid. And while it is 596 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 3: valid and it is like the journey of your own life, 597 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 3: it doesn't necessarily need to be a podcast. You know, 598 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 3: we did you know, you just did that had the 599 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 3: mic away from your mouth and you just okay and 600 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 3: you were just like talk like away anyway. No, I 601 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 3: was just I was locking in with your boot, so 602 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 3: that yeah, so that is I was going on a 603 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 3: fucking tangent, right, But yes, so we are very narcissistic. 604 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 3: Not every story needs to be a podcast? And fuck 605 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: where was I going with this? Boss? 606 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: You were saying that that's where the story like, it 607 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: doesn't just need to be. 608 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh yes, that's what works. So I think 609 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 2: that it's. 610 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 3: Those what works, inspiring vulnerable stories from people. But I 611 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 3: think what he's dumb is overly narcissistic, like I just 612 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 3: want to like talk about myself, or like have some 613 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 3: random fucking dude, twenty three year old dude talking about 614 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 3: that he wants his girlfriend to collect stamps or you 615 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: know what I mean that we don't need more of that. 616 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 3: We need like the world continually needs more depth and 617 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 3: it needs more inspiration and light. And I think that's 618 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 3: what will works, and I think that's what will continue 619 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 3: to work, and everything else is not that will come 620 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:14,959 Speaker 3: and go. 621 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: I also have a theory, and you know that I'm 622 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,479 Speaker 1: obsessed with this saying at the moment, which is to 623 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: be relentlessly honest. Yeah, but I have a three that 624 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: when you're just telling the truth, it won't let you down. 625 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. 626 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: Obviously you can protect certain things that you want to 627 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: keep private, or things that feel really sensitive, or things 628 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: that aren't yours to share. Of course, like don't do that. 629 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: But I mean as far as like if you're being 630 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: interviewed or if you are a host or an interviewing 631 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: someone and have a pod, like I think by coming 632 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: from that place of honesty, not coming from the place 633 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to share this big thing because I want 634 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: the audience to feel something or I want them to 635 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: think this of me. I think that's the wrong mentality. 636 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: I think it's just got to be like, hey, this 637 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: is the honest truth. Yeah, take it or leave it. 638 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: Hopefully it helps you, because that's why this podcast exists. 639 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and not to like obviously not going to name names, 640 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 3: but I feel like you're trying to do that.
