Oh, thank you, that was amazing. So let's 111 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: let's go right to the beginning. So I know you 112 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: moved here from China at a very young age, didn't 113 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: speak a word of English. Can you just talk to 114 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: us about that experience and what it was like, you know, 115 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: growing up in Australia. 116 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 3: So the first day of school, I didn't know where 117 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: the toilets were, and so I had to hold it. 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: And I was like, oh my god, I'm going to 119 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 3: pee myself in the first day of school in this 120 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 3: new country. And I'm literally the only foreigner at school, 121 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: like the like the only visible foreigner. I think people, 122 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: you know, I couldn't tell the difference. I see the 123 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: foreigner and they were you. I was just eight, okay. 124 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: And so the only thing that saved me was that 125 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: primary school in China finishes at five pm, but finishes 126 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: at three in Australia. So here am I thinking, I'm 127 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: gonna have to wait because it's like an old school, 128 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: like the building it was on the outside and there 129 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: was no clear sign. So I'm not like an idiot, 130 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: like we had the same female toilet symbol in China, 131 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: but there was no sign anyway, But thank god school 132 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: finished early, otherwise it would have been a really traumatic 133 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: first day. And I just remember things like I remember 134 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: asking this kid like, how do you say this? And 135 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: there was a watermelon and he said, shut up, pass 136 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: it on and I'm like, oh, okay, it's called shut up, 137 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: pass it on, Like yeah, I know. And it was like, honestly, 138 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: it's like everyone was pretty generally like great, Like I 139 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 3: think you could have gone, I could have been somewhere 140 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: where people were more racist, but everyone was quite welcoming. 141 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: There was definitely like instances or like I didn't grow 142 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: up feeling comfortable with myself and my environment. It's something 143 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: I had to like work on and I always had. 144 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 3: I always knew I had this like loud personality that 145 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: you know, it used to take me a lot longer 146 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: to get comfortable and just to be myself, and it's 147 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: now something that I'm very glad that I can just 148 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: be that person. 149 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: And do you feel like those experiences kind of taught 150 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: you that lesson Like that was the thing that came 151 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: out of it, of like to be more comfortable in 152 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: your own skin and to be more confident and to 153 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: just you know, be out there. 154 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: I think it was a long, yeah, long winded, long winded, 155 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: winded way of getting that, because I think I think 156 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: if I had stayed in China, I would have been 157 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: this person sooner, being more comfortable with who I am, 158 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: And I think I was just very overthinking, like very 159 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: self conscious. We were talking about how like it took us, 160 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: like our childhood and adolescents and whatnot to realize that actually, 161 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: the way people treat you is not because of yourself. 162 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: Don't take it that they're going through. So when I 163 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 3: grew up, you know, I thought people treated me a 164 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: certain way because I look different and because I'm Chinese, 165 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: and then when I went into the corporate world, it's 166 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: because I'm a young female, and in other instances it's 167 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: because I'm poor, and that's why people treat me a 168 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: certain way. And no, it's like sometimes people are dicks. 169 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: Sometimes people are actually just like not that open and 170 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: they just come off as stand offish, but they're just 171 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: shy actually, and sometimes people have just had a bad 172 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 3: day and it's not always about you. Sometimes I'm maybe 173 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: I am a dick, but like not all the time. 174 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: So what I was saying on Jane's podcast is like, 175 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: don't take things personally exactly. And I think there's there's 176 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: so much to that. And I think when you're a child, though, 177 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: it's so hard to have that awareness. You take everything personally. 178 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: And you also when you're a child, like you're pretty selfish. 179 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: You think the world, you of your universe, and you 180 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: think you are the center of everyone else's universe. 181 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then like you get you know, you become 182 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: an adult and you realize, oh fuck, but that would 183 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: have been so hard for you going up to experience 184 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: that on top of already what you have to experience 185 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: as a child, yeah, and a teenager and all those 186 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: sorts of that. 187 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: And just like I was quite lonely being an only child, 188 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 3: so I had to like figure out I how to 189 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: like entertain myself. I was talking yesterday with my friends 190 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: that like that. I at one point I was typing 191 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: up the dictionary as an activity. I didn't make it 192 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 3: very far, but just looking for things to do. 193 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: So I know that you absolutely killed school and UNI 194 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: and then you know, you got this amazing job as 195 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: an accountant, and you know, you reached the pinnacle of 196 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: success or what you thought was success, and then you 197 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: made a huge pivot and you know, you did touch 198 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: on you had one first bailed business. But before we 199 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: get into that, tell us about like what it felt 200 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: like to make that pivot and to kind of go 201 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: against what you had been working for for like such 202 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: a huge amount of time, because. 203 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 3: I think you would have been similar to having a 204 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 3: law degree. It's and getting a good op score, like 205 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: we call it a uai eta. But basically the whole 206 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 3: point of like high school, I mean, even as a 207 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 3: Chinese immigrant, it even starts further back. We have selective 208 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 3: schools in New South Wales. So the whole point of 209 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 3: primary school is you want to get into a selective 210 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: high school. Selective high school is to get that good score, 211 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: and then that score is to get into the right 212 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: union degree. The degree is to get the right job, 213 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: and then that job is to have financial stability and 214 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: to be set up for life. And then one day, 215 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: basically I realized instead of looking at it, I think 216 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: having experience of working in that industry and being like, 217 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 3: oh my god, this fucking sucks. I don't like this 218 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 3: at all. This is not fun. This is not like legally, 219 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 3: this is not like the movies, not like sexist, it's 220 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 3: not like suits. No, it's not and like I hate this, 221 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, I cannot be doing 222 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: this for the rest of my life. Like this is 223 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: I started to look at the financial stability as a 224 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: prison sentence and I didn't want to do forty years 225 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: of hard time in a county. And there's this story 226 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: about Jim Carrey's dad to go on a mini tangent. 227 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: He basically, I think it was something like he looked 228 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: at his dad got made redundant as an accountant at 229 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 3: the age of sixty, and his dad wanted to be 230 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: a comedian and wanted to be being entertainer, and he 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: looked at his dad who was like mediocre at this 232 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 3: job because he doesn't love it, and just always, you know, 233 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: wondered what it could have been. He's like, I don't 234 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 3: want to be that. I will to at least give 235 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: it a go. 236 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: I love that so much. And like, I also know 237 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: there's a bit of a story around you didn't tell 238 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: your parents, And so. 239 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: When I decided to finally quit my job, so basically, 240 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 3: this girl came to me and a friend of mine 241 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 3: was like, let's start a business. And I honestly at 242 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 3: the time, I was like, Okay, let's just do it. 243 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: I didn't even care what it is. And when she 244 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: said fashion retail, I was like, really, like, we're gonna 245 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 3: start a fashion store? Like it just felt like at 246 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 3: that time, it's just like, you know, you have to 247 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: be in the eastern sub of like Sydney and be 248 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: connected and be a rich older lady to do it. 249 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 3: Like I just didn't think you could just like start 250 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 3: into the fashion industry. But I was like, whatever, I 251 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: don't have a better idea, let's just do it. I 252 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 3: want to do something. So we did it. And we 253 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: did that for like a few months while I was 254 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: still working, and I put everything into it, and then 255 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: I just realized, like that's what I want to do. 256 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 3: So I quit my job. Couldn't tell my parents because 257 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 3: they immigrated for me, Like they sacked. They left their family, friends, 258 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 3: careers for me. And I finally got everything that we 259 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: will work towards, and I'm like it's okay, you know, 260 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna like make enough money. I'm gonna wait 261 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 3: until I make at least enough money in this business. 262 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: So I was just aiming to have a business that 263 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 3: could make like fifty sixty K a year, and if 264 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: I could do that, I can be like, look what 265 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 3: I've done. At least I'm happy. Yeah, and so that's 266 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 3: what I was hoping for. So we I quit my job. 267 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 3: Sata's secretly working on this business for like a month 268 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: as a full time entrepreneur, started building this website, being like, actually, 269 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 3: you know what, And I didn't give you the context 270 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: that it was physical pop up stores. That's the idea 271 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: at the time, and I was like, why don't we 272 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 3: turn this online as a little extra income. Stream spent 273 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: that month building the website, and then I showed it 274 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 3: to my business partner and she's like, you know what, 275 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 3: I don't want to do it anymore. I'm stick of 276 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: being poor. I want to go back to corporate. I 277 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 3: want to get a job. And I was like, just 278 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 3: look at the website. Let's get this a go. I 279 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 3: just quit my job, like you encouraged me to quit 280 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: my job. Let's just do it. And she looked at me, 281 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: straightened the eyes, and she said, Jane, no one shops 282 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: online famous last Yes. Yes. And so I didn't have 283 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: the confidence by myself to run that business by myself, 284 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: so we shut it down. And so all of a sudden, 285 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 3: like a month ago, I had the dream job and 286 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: the promising side hustle, and now I had nothing. I 287 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: was unemployed. I was in debt from the business, and 288 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: then I was I just felt like a failure. And 289 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: because it was in the middle of the global financial crisis, 290 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: I couldn't get another job. And so I'm like shit, yeah, 291 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: And so meanwhile, I'm still pretending to go to this 292 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: work that I don't have, and I was like, what 293 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 3: the hell do I do? Wow? 294 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: And then so like, how did show post up? 295 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: So I'll ask more. 296 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on the edge of my seat. 297 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, Okay. 298 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: I know how it ends. 299 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: I'm holding for dramatic effect. No, but basically we at 300 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: the time, I didn't know any wind in business. This 301 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: is back in twenty ten. So I knew one guy 302 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: who kind of had a business, and I approached him 303 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 3: hoping to kind of get a job with him, maybe 304 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: because like how else could I get a job? And 305 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: I was hoping maybe I can learn from him how 306 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: to sign the business. And he was just like palming 307 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 3: me off. He was like, look, I have another friend 308 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: who might want to side the business. Why don't you 309 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 3: go speak to her? And I was like, oh my god, 310 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: this is such a palm off, like he's just like 311 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: this isn't going to go anywhere. This is my last chance. 312 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: But then I'm like, oh, might as well take the meeting, 313 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: because what else can I do? Fell in love with her. 314 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: We hit it off straight away, and then maybe the 315 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: third or fourth time we had we met, we had dinner, 316 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 3: we had too much to drink, we had too many 317 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: bottles of red wine, and then we came up with 318 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: a name and concept for show Pony. It just and 319 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: then I was like, oh my god. So she already 320 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: had quite a successful business that she started a year ago, 321 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: and so I was like, oh my god. Okay, so 322 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 3: she has this sparkling track record, she has a great business, 323 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 3: and I'm like a failure, Like why would she want 324 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: to get into business with me? So I came home 325 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 3: that night and then still drunk, and I built the website. 326 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: And because I had the experience. Now and when I 327 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: say built, it's like drag and drop, you know, like 328 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 3: it's like MySpace, it's not sitting. Because I had the experience, 329 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: I knew what to do. I built the website that 330 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 3: night so that it's too awkward for her to like 331 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: pull out. 332 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, what's work. 333 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, but she didn't think God because she had her 334 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: business that was successful. She had contacts for a supplier, 335 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 3: and I had contacts for like models and the photographer 336 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 3: because of the previous business. And then so we had 337 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 3: a photoshoot that weekend and then within a week we 338 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 3: made a sale. It was from a Facebook post by 339 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: one of the models friends. But like it did prove. 340 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 3: Two months after, my business partner told me that no 341 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: one shops online, that people in fact do shop online. 342 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: So I was like, oh yeah, literally, yeah, how good 343 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: is that feeling when you do something? Yeah that others, 344 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, thought were a bit crazy. 345 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: Bach Christ and. 346 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: You're like, I do love how much business has evolved. 347 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: Like really you can have an iPhone and you have 348 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: a business. Yeah, Like you can create things and we're 349 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: seeing it. We're seeing, you know, this uprising of entrepreneurs 350 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: and these amazing eCOM businesses. So and well you were 351 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: at the forefront, like and. 352 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: Use a content creator, Like you can create money by 353 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 3: just by creating content. Like everyone has the power to 354 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 3: like create something. 355 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: It's such a wild time, such a cool time. Well, 356 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: let's chat about show po. So I would love to 357 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: know because, first of all, I didn't know that you 358 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: had been running shopo for that long. 359 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 3: I know, I'm fucking old. That is you. 360 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: Look amazing, That's incredible. Do you want to chat about 361 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: the biggest challenges with Chowpo, Let's go there first. 362 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So I think the biggest challenges at the 363 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: different stages we've had. I think the first thing was 364 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: to actually just like I was like trying to do 365 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: this business and it wasn't just it wasn't like it 366 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 3: wasn't moving along. And I think the thing that changed 367 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: that was actually investing more into the business. So sometimes 368 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 3: it's hard because you're like, okay, well I'm not making money. 369 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 3: Starting business isn't just that initial plunge of taking the risk. 370 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 3: It's just these constant decisions to take risks. So actually 371 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 3: investing in more stock to off have more to offer 372 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 3: because then when people land on for a fashion site, 373 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: when they land on your page, there's more options to 374 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 3: convert them. And then also spending more on ads, doing 375 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: more social media prosts were actually investing more. We needed 376 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 3: to get to a point for it to actually become 377 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 3: this like bit of a snowball to actually grow. So 378 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: that was the first stage that was the first challenge 379 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: we overcame that really grew the business. And then I 380 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: was just doing everything by myself and working in the 381 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: business and then not on the business. So then and 382 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: I was so stubborn, like I didn't want to hire 383 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: someone because I didn't want them to fuck up. I 384 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: wanted to do it all myself. And it was It 385 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 3: was actually because I booked this trip to Miami for 386 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 3: Ultra Music Festival, which I wanted to cancel, but I 387 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: have a rubber arm and my and I get massive pomo, 388 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 3: so I was like, it's okay, maybe finally hire a 389 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 3: staff member. Because basically, when I booked the trip, the 390 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 3: business was making five thousand dollars a month, and then 391 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 3: five months later it was seventy five thousand dollars a month. 392 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 3: So it was all of a sudden it grew and 393 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 3: it seemed reckless too. I've like just left, but I 394 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 3: hired someone, and. 395 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: You didn't have a team before that, so no team. 396 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: So whilst I'm raving in Miami, there's a girl coming 397 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 3: to my parents' house, the business within my parents' garage, 398 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: coming to my parents' house, going down to the garage 399 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 3: and just like processing orders, doing customer service. And then 400 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 3: when I came back, she made a bunch of mistakes. 401 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 3: She overstated her time sheet. But then I realized, like 402 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: all the things I was afraid of happening, why I 403 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 3: didn't want to hire someone, it happened, and I realized 404 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 3: it wasn't that bad because things still got done, the 405 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 3: mistakes could get fixed. Like the business you were still raving, 406 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: I was still I had a great time. I needed 407 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: the break, I re said it. But I walked back 408 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 3: into a business that now had systems and processes that 409 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 3: then allowed me to work on the business rather than 410 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 3: in the business. And so even though all that happened, 411 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: the business almost doubled in sales the next month, one 412 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 3: hundred and forty K. We were, all of a sudden, 413 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 3: from a business that was barely getting by breaking even 414 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 3: to a business that was on the one million dollar 415 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 3: run rate. So I think that was when I need 416 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: to focus on hiring the right people for the team. 417 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: Starting by hiring generalists that kind of free up your 418 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 3: time to then people who are specialists anyway I'm getting technical, 419 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: but then focusing on getting the right people. It's so important, 420 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 3: the right culture, and then just a big part of 421 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: The next challenge was we started by just retailing clothes, 422 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 3: so stocking this other brand that my business ex business 423 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 3: partner she's an ex business partner now that she found. 424 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 3: But basically then the next challenge was to make our 425 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 3: own products, so I have I'm not a designer by 426 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 3: background at all. It was probably my worst subject tech 427 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 3: stals and design, you know, hiring the right team to 428 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 3: design so that we can just really expand our range. 429 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: Like you know, you know what a big impact product 430 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: development is the business. It shapes more options, exactly, more options, 431 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 3: and it shapes with business is like, and it's what 432 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: sets you apart ultimately, yeah, from your competitors. So yeah, 433 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 3: I think product expansion was the big next week's challenge 434 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: that really helped us grow the business. 435 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: First of all, thank you so much for going into 436 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: detail and explaining that, because not many people like really 437 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: get into the nitty gritty. So it's like, I very 438 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: much totally resonate with what you're saying. But it's funny 439 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: because it's not that I forgot, but I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, 440 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: thats exactly right, And it's even to the point of 441 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: I definitely went through that at the start of my business. 442 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: But I'm also going through a new wave of it 443 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: where I'm like, hang on a second, because again, you 444 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: get really good when it's through in business of like 445 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: having your hand in all the pies and having all 446 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: the hats on, and then you hire a team, and 447 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: then you know, you get to a new level where 448 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: you need to again almost like rinse and repeat of like, 449 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: hang on again, what am I doing that I probably 450 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: don't need to do that someone else is better at, 451 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: that is going to take less time I am, et cetera. 452 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: What actually do it at?

But like, honestly it's great because he 499 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: it is. 500 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: It carries heavy because we're being like, no, I don't 501 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: want to do it. Yeah I could, of course I could. Yeah, 502 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: could I do it with my own shut But I want. 503 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: To people the things that we do do it's they 504 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: can't do and other people necessarily do. 505 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: Let's even have that conversation because that's that's actually something 506 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: that I struggled with when I was stepping more into 507 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: you know, less of an influencer more of like a 508 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: business woman. And it's always been my passion, and I 509 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: had this kind of internal conflict because a lot of 510 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: my time would be doing content and I was like, oh, like, 511 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to step out being an influencer. 512 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: But then I came to realize, especially because it's content, 513 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, for my own brands. I'm like, this actually 514 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: matters just because I'm taking a video and it seems 515 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: somewhat silly or entertainment. Yeah, like this day and age, 516 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: this is what matters. Like this is such a huge 517 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: marketing channel. It's such a huge thing, and it's almost 518 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: like I had to go through this mental thing where 519 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: I had to give myself more credit and like really 520 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: be like we're a social media business, Like this is 521 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: where we thrive. This is what we do when without 522 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: this the business like of course it could run, but 523 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: it's like can't run as good, And like reframing that 524 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: for me was such a huge thing. Yeah, did you 525 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: find the same more? 526 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 3: I For me, the hard part was I think there 527 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 3: were times in the like because I feel like now 528 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: it's just so common, it's so like obvious, like bread 529 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: and butter part of the business. But like even like 530 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago where they're doing content, and 531 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: I feel like there's people working in the team who 532 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 3: might be like, oh my god, this year is just 533 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: like up making like content blah blah blah, Like she's 534 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 3: just like yes, you know, like all she wants to 535 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 3: do is make content, And it's like I feel like 536 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: I had to like justify and validate the point. Yeah, 537 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: and people don't see it because they don't see other 538 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 3: brands doing it. But that's it's almost frustrating that, like I, 539 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 3: I wish i'd shut it off better. 540 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's so true because that's even like 541 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: I remember kind of having a similar conversation right at 542 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: the start and me and Cooper. He was really good 543 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: because he understood that that was such a driver of 544 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: the business. But I said to him, you know, sometimes 545 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: I feel a bit shitty because you know, you're over 546 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: here doing the accounts and doing logistics, and I'm over 547 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: here creating content. So what I would do is I 548 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: would create the content and then also do the other job, 549 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: so I'd be working twice the amount of time. But 550 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: it's almost like I didn't give value to the content, 551 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: and then I would feel burnt out. I would feel 552 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: spread thin and like it just wasn't working. And I 553 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: remember us having this conversation of like him being like, 554 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: what you do is so important and really having for 555 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: me to understand that, and again if people don't get it, 556 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: being like, well, that's not my problem because clearly what 557 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: the brand's doing. 558 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my god, I've had the exact same. Just recently. 559 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 3: We have these big like finance meetings or like big 560 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: like product meetings where my partner's just like Jane, you 561 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: don't have to come, like if you need to like 562 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 3: go figure out like Friday promos, go figure out the content, 563 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 3: do that you want to do that, you don't have 564 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: to send them meeting like I got I got this. 565 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: It's fine. Yeah, And so it's great to have someone 566 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 3: that you can trust, a big family. Yeah, and that's 567 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: even very lucky. 568 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: Again, like I said, I'm going through the next stage 569 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: of we have like a team marketing meeting. So obviously 570 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: it's marketing, so I've you know, always been in it, 571 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: but i also have a marketing director, so I'm now thinking, 572 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: hang on a second, I also have an EA.

Yeah, 659 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, how that is like 660 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: a company that like I started by default because I 661 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 3: couldn't get another job. Chopo is a word that I 662 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: just made up. How is this a thing? It's written 663 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 3: on this big board like it's on TV, like on 664 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 3: the screen where they announced. I'm like, these are just 665 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 3: words that that made up? 666 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: Like how that's surreal. So that's actually my favorite part 667 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: about business is the actual like an ideation coming to life, 668 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: like and that's even with our products, like seeing a 669 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: physical product where I'm like wow, like moon milk. When 670 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: we brought out moon milk, no one had done it. 671 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: It's there's a lot now, but you know, we brought 672 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: out Moon Milk nearly four years ago. No one had 673 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: done it, and even the name moon milk, like everyone 674 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: was like what the fuck is that, and it's like great. 675 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: We came up with the name, the concept, you know, 676 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: all the ingredients, and I remember going to Cooper and 677 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: we were in the startup stage and I was really 678 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: struggling to sleep because I was so excited about life 679 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: and I was having these shit sleeps. I was struggling 680 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: because I was on my phone and whatnot. So I 681 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: was like, we need to make a supplement that is 682 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: going to help me wind down. That's not a sleeping tablet, 683 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: so I don't feel groggy, but it's just gonna help 684 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: you wind down. And then also at the time, I 685 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: was really into my fitness, so I was like, it's 686 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: got to be sweet, it's got to be chocolate, you know, 687 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: so good macros, all the things. So we came up 688 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: with moon milk and then like to see the physical product, 689 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean like that was an idea. Yeah, that's that's 690 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: my favorite thing about business, Like something. 691 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 3: That's part of people's like actuals. 692 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, like Calon before was like I love moon milk 693 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: the best, so I'm like, there's just. 694 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 3: Like loving how many inventions just getting right now? 695 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: Just honestly, come on, just come on with us. No, 696 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: that's amazing. Well, let's talk about shark tank honestly iconic. 697 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 3: Think you I can't. It's so fucking sick. 698 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: The sickest thing ever. 699 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 3: It is sick. 700 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe this, tell us about it all. 701 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 3: So when they actually emailed me, did you a joke? 702 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 3: The producer was like, so, she just had a baby, 703 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 3: So she we joke about her having baby Ray because 704 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 3: I was also either I was pregnant at the time. Yeah, 705 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 3: And then so she wrote shark Tanks, she wrote a typo, 706 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 3: and I hadn't heard of the production company at that time, 707 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 3: and so I was like, oh my god, for those 708 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 3: spam phishing emails. Yeah, and they want me to give 709 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 3: them like Apple like give cards, you know. Sometimes we 710 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 3: reply to them just to see what you know, there's 711 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 3: fishing emails. What do they want anyway? So I was like, 712 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 3: this can't be real. It was like maybe like five 713 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 3: months later it all got confirmed, and I was like, 714 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 3: I could not believe it. It's just the fact that 715 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 3: it's more than just a show, because you actually change 716 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 3: the lives of the businesses. 717 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: So can I ask you, are you using your own money? 718 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 3: Yes? My husband's like, you're not shopping? 719 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, just honestly, that would be me. I would get 720 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: because I'm so bad with shopping. That's one of my 721 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: guilty pleasures, is I get in a bit of a spree. 722 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. So that's why I'm too much of an optimist. 723 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 3: I look at every business. I'm like, oh my god, yeah, 724 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 3: you got this, we can do this. Let's do it. 725 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 3: Like I don't think about like what's wrong with the business, 726 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 3: And I don't see how many businesses did you buy into. 727 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 3: It's going to end up being like five or six. Yeah, 728 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 3: I committed to more on the show, but there's like 729 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 3: due diligence, So like there's once where they ended up 730 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 3: pulling out. There's ones where I end up pulling out. 731 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: Okay, so you get to kind of talk about it after. 732 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think like globally, because I think it's 733 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 3: in like forty countries or something that's like the average 734 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 3: like half of them goes through after the show, so 735 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 3: it's quite. 736 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: And then so what's then the relationship with those businesses 737 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: post show? Are you kind of just coming in as 738 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: a consultant. Yeah, they can come to you for anything. 739 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 3: I think because we're like you know, junior first year sharks, 740 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 3: we're probably and generally quite young. We're probably more involved. 741 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 3: Like we're in like WhatsApp groups, emails that they'll just 742 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 3: email us if they have problems, and then we have 743 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 3: like regular catchups, like monthly meetings. Yeah. So like even 744 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 3: like so one of the one of them is like 745 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,919 Speaker 3: the Beaties. They were like they're like a children's entertainment group. 746 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 3: So I bought the kids the other week because they 747 00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 3: were performing in Darling Harbor. So it's just try and 748 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 3: get them, like and then like last week I spoke 749 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 3: rich the Richard Brandson the events, so I got tickets 750 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 3: for some of the entrepreneurs and watch. 751 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: So it's like congratulations on that, Oh. 752 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 3: Thank you, little team now little family. 753 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: I love that so much.

He's amazing, Like 795 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 3: one of the highlights was just getting a front road 796 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 3: to the Robert Show because he is so entertaining. He's 797 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 3: always like more entertaining in real life. It's almost like 798 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 3: they had to like give the rest of us some 799 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 3: airtime so you don't you don't get to see more 800 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 3: of his amazing liess. He's so good and he's so nice, 801 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 3: like so genuine. 802 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: So what do you think made a good pitch? 803 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 3: A good pitch is I think the founder needs to like, 804 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 3: first thing is, what's the problem succinctly delivering it? What's 805 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 3: the problem how does your product solve it? And like 806 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 3: is there a market for that product? Because not necessarily 807 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 3: so one one product was as an example where that 808 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 3: didn't satisfy these things. It's like there was a business 809 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 3: that had like podcast dayations where they will have it 810 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 3: in the university or shopping centers. And so the problem 811 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 3: they're trying to solve for the fact that, like people 812 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 3: didn't have access to equipment to start a podcast, But 813 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 3: that isn't why people don't have podcasts. The problem is 814 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 3: like it's times consuming to think of the content and 815 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 3: to find the audience and to produce an edit the content. 816 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: And to like make money from them, to make money 817 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: from us it. Yeah, it's more of a substitute, an 818 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: add on, rather than that's the right. 819 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 3: So the product doesn't think that he was producing the 820 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 3: product doesn't solve the problem, and not sure if the 821 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 3: problem is big enough in the first place, if the 822 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 3: market exists. 823 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: For that spache, it's just might solve my problem exactly. 824 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 3: And so basically that but and I think it's just 825 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 3: all about the founder, Like you gotta believe that the 826 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 3: founder is the person who can do it, Like you know, 827 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 3: are they the right person to execute on it because 828 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 3: I think sometimes people they need to have the drive 829 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 3: to like roll up your sleep and get shit. Aren't 830 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 3: the grit?

So that 906 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 3: is something as a hack. 907 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: You know, Oh my god, no joke.

He's like he's a kid himself, so he's 940 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: like he's born for that job. So I feel like 941 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: she gets a lot of that from him. So I 942 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: just will get like the cuddles and the stuff.

I think it's. 969 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 1: It's normalizing it because sometimes I feel like that. I'm like, 970 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: does anyone ever actually like figure out the balance?

Yeah, And 976 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: I feel like it's this constant navigation and battle between 977 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: balancing it. I personally don't believe in balance. I think 978 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 1: I believe in seasons. So you go through certain seasons. 979 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,399 Speaker 1: It's like, for example, this trip, like I'm away from 980 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: IVY for two nights, so I had like pep talk 981 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 1: myself and being like, I'm doing this for Naked Harvest. 982 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing. I'm gonna have so many new 983 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: connections and opportunities. And this is the vibe rather than 984 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: going into mom guilt exactly. Yeah, and like I have 985 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 1: to like your perception myself because it's so easy. But 986 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: in saying that, I also find if I'm for example, 987 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: you know, going on this trip. I'm like, oh, I'm 988 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: going to feel bad like leaving Ivy and Tim. But 989 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: then the alternative, if I'm in the trenches with Ivy, 990 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want to go on a business 991 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 1: So it's like the typical you always want you don't have. 992 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: So I try and remember that during those moments. 993 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that, And that's exactly it's that's the 994 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,799 Speaker 3: solution I would sample back to. The Only thing you 995 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 3: can change is your perception on things. You can't change 996 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 3: people other people. You can't change all the all situations. 997 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 1: Just your perception. Change your mindset. Yeah, do you do 998 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: anything for your mindset or you know, a belief system 999 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,000 Speaker 1: or do you have a personal coach or anything like that. 1000 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 3: No, I don't. I just I honestly, this sounds bad. 1001 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 3: Like when I was when I was growing the business 1002 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 3: and it was tough and times down, I was going 1003 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 3: out and drinking, not in the wait. I was doing 1004 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 3: it to get my mind off things and to keep 1005 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 3: myself like because it's on the outlet. Yeah, going out, 1006 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 3: having dinner with friends and you know, and just it 1007 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 3: made me feel like I was I don't know, I 1008 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 3: had a life. Yeah, And I honestly it was very 1009 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,959 Speaker 3: work hard, play hard, and that's what fills my card. 1010 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 3: I can't do that now. I still like not to this. 1011 00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: We can when you've got the name, yeah. 1012 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 3: When you But I think now it's just like God, 1013 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 3: I love a good facial, I love good massage, and 1014 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 3: just like I honestly just like me playing around with 1015 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 3: my calendar and just being like I'm moving things, being 1016 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 3: like move this not important, move this to next week, 1017 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,240 Speaker 3: give this to someone else. Like I think just having 1018 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,879 Speaker 3: a really care yes, a really clear calendar I think 1019 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:49,319 Speaker 3: makes me destress. 1020 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,320 Speaker 1: So that's actually something I need to do in twenty 1021 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: twenty four because I have like reoccurring meetings, so I 1022 00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,919 Speaker 1: have reoccurring team meetings and whatnot. And so no, Joe 1023 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: as guys were literally filming this in are we in November? Summer? 1024 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: We're in summer? Sorry, wow, we're still in twenty twenty three, 1025 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: but you'll hear. I'm like, what where are we? What's happening? 1026 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,280 Speaker 1: And I would go to January and my whole calendar 1027 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 1: is already four. Yeah, And so next year I'm not 1028 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: doing the recurring anymore. I'm deleting everything and then being like, actually, 1029 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,920 Speaker 1: who do I actually have to have a meeting? 1030 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 3: I'm about to blow your mind? 1031 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 1: Tell me, we're give me. 1032 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 3: To introduce this this like AI tool. It's called like, 1033 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 3: I don't really know what it's called because it's got 1034 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 3: three names. It's like fire flies, but it's also called 1035 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 3: like the dictator because it dictates, but it sounds really evil, 1036 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 3: like the dictator has ended your meeting? And his name 1037 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 3: is also Fred? Would you like Fred to come into 1038 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 3: a meeting? So he literally it's an AI tool that 1039 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 3: we invite into our meetings that takes notes, so I 1040 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 3: kind of tend the meeting. There's notes. 1041 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: How is he taking notes? 1042 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 2: Like? 1043 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: Can he hear us? 1044 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,319 Speaker 3: Yeah? He just listens in and then he just it 1045 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 3: does a summary. 1046 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: Well, see, that's exactly what I need to start doing 1047 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 1: because I think I can't remember whose podcast will? 1048 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 3: I think that you're gonna listen to both. 1049 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,720 Speaker 1: You've got to listen to both because it probably doesn't 1050 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: make sense in both. Is very like actually asking the 1051 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 1: question of like, well, is my team running my week 1052 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: or am I running my week? 1053 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:21,399 Speaker 3: Yes? 1054 00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, taking back control. 1055 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 3: Because people will drop like meetings into your week just 1056 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 3: like that, And it's like, oh my god. 1057 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: Now this did not I've got to be a meeting. 1058 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 3: Yes, I put focused time. Now people don't respect it. 1059 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 3: I just put like out of office. 1060 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do that, and then like I still see 1061 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 1: little things. I'm like, I'm not going to that. 1062 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 3: Well, I think also the difference is do you find 1063 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 3: that like I don't know. Sometimes in terms of your 1064 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 3: when when your team wants approval, it's almost like I 1065 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 3: need approval today, I need the approval tomorrow. But if 1066 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 3: you're asking your team to do something, you give them 1067 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 3: a lot more time. So it's almost like. 1068 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god, guys me, well, that's even something I 1069 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: want to focus on twenty twenty four. It's like being 1070 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,879 Speaker 1: less reactive, yes, and being you can sit and. 1071 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 3: Do you slack or like something like you can sin 1072 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,280 Speaker 3: slack all day. 1073 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,879 Speaker 1: I know that's another thing. I've stopped checking slack. 1074 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got if it's important, they'll call me exactly. 1075 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: And then I've had. 1076 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 3: Text me exactly. So I set time for like when 1077 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 3: I check slack. I try sometimes I like your default 1078 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 3: brain goes into checking slack or that's like checking your 1079 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 3: instant stories. 1080 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 1: Right, it's just a I don't do anything, no, just 1081 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 1: keep rechecking it. What about emails, what's your. 1082 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 3: I do an end of day check now because in 1083 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 3: the because that because no one replies. Otherwise you're just 1084 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 3: they're coming back in as quickly you're as you're doing them. 1085 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: I need to do that. I just think I did 1086 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 1: it in the morning and then I'm like, that just 1087 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: wasted my time, and now my day is planned according 1088 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:49,880 Speaker 1: to these emails. 1089 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, naturally, I'm going to send an out of office 1090 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 3: starting from today to be like if it's certain, contact kitlers. 1091 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise I check it for now at the end 1092 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: of the day. 1093 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to do it too.

And obviously this is personal 1098 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: for us, but it's like, at any stage of your 1099 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 1: business or life of like, are you actually asking the 1100 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 1: questions or you're just being reactive. Don't let your team 1101 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 1: control you. You get to be in control. 1102 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 3: Yes, And that's like, nailed it, nailed it, nail. 1103 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: We click in. This has been such a pleasure thank you. 1104 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: I do have two more questions, but this has been 1105 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 1: such a fun conversation, so fun. So these are two 1106 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: questions that I ask every single guest. So the first 1107 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,439 Speaker 1: one is what is the best advice you have ever 1108 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 1: been given? 1109 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 3: So the best advice is from my husband when he 1110 00:53:55,080 --> 00:54:02,320 Speaker 3: was my boyfriend, and it's You're not special. Hold for dramatic. 1111 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: Reaction, Yes, I'll do it. 1112 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 3: So basically, it's when I tell him, I'm like, I 1113 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 3: can't do this, I can't do that, I can't do 1114 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,280 Speaker 3: this public speaking thing. It's to me people, I'm scared. 1115 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 3: I'm too scared. He was. I was, Oh my god, god, 1116 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 3: it's so sad. I got my license when I was 1117 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 3: twenty six. Caitlin's law in twenty six yet, so this 1118 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 3: is how late. I got my license and I went 1119 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 3: straight into a manual license and I'm like, I can't 1120 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,719 Speaker 3: do it. It's too hot. He's like, look, everyone in 1121 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 3: Europe drives manual. What makes you think you're so special 1122 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,799 Speaker 3: that you can't drive a manual? Like, what makes you 1123 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,360 Speaker 3: so special? You're not special? Get over it and just 1124 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 3: do it. Yeah. 1125 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,400 Speaker 1: Oh I love that. 1126 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it has really helped. 1127 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 1: That is that's amazing. Well at the start, I was like, 1128 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: that's harsh, but yeah, you're so together. I would dump him. 1129 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 1: So the last question, and something that I talk a 1130 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: lot about on my podcast is core beliefs. So, like 1131 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,240 Speaker 1: I said on your podcast, one of my core beliefs 1132 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 1: is life happens for me.
