0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast. Oh my god, guys. On Monday,

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 1>we have an announcement that you must tune into. This

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.319
<v Speaker 1>is very important for all the stakeholders involved with the

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:20.119
<v Speaker 1>lexin rooms alectually mark my words, guys. Also today we

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>chatted about how creative you are. Flexi has some wisdom

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and some like new categories that she didn't come up with,

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>but she references if you want to try and figure

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>out where you are in your creative spectrum and also

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>are we smarter than a twelfth grader? We're going to

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>do a test from the BISMAN exam. Neither rustied business management.

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Bit of a regret they're doing theater studies, but it

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. Let's go frumno through me, boommmy

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>lex Mom. You're listening to Flex and Frooms. I'm Kaita.

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>A friend of mine recently got into Pilate's right. She

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>started wearing lenkings to the gym and she asked me, what, honey,

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>so I wear on the leggings And for her, I

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>want to give her a bit of a step by

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>zep on what undies are appropriate in every phase of life.

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm confused at the question.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 1>She's like, what, honeyes I wear under leggings that you're

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.559
<v Speaker 1>not going to see because she's like, I'm walking around

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Bondi to Bronti and I see no undilines on the leggings.

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>What's everon wearing? Are they not wearing undies? Okay, to

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>which I say, a little cotton in a moment, seamless underwear.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>They're praying at the sides, and yet they look fantastic. Okay,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>this is my guide to when and when not to

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>wear underwear. Oh, under a skirt, no undies, under baggy

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>cargo pants? What kind of skirt? Any skirt? I love

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Not wearing undies number two cargo pants with a wide leg.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>No undies.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>You're putting polyester straight on coach, is it not? Let

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.559
<v Speaker 2>me not judge. It's not the Hygiene Olympics, but.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Better than having polyester right up on the goop.

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Why are you wearing polyester underwear?

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, because it looks good. Okay, Definitely wear undys to bed,

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.399
<v Speaker 1>the tight ones the boy leg. I want to eat

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>in bed, stuck it all in. I like to feel

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>secure in bed. Anyone know wering undis to bed. What

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>is happening under there? It all feels like it's moving.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get graphic, guys, but like I

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>like them to. You know, Okay, what do you think

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>undies are fall While they have all different purposes?

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 2>What is the function of underwear?

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>That is the question that's as old as time itself.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>For me, the function of underwear is to feel safe,

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and to make the cuchie not rub on the jeans,

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and to make sure when you're wearing shorts the short

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.799
<v Speaker 1>scene doesn't ride up from front to back a a

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>little padding. Undeas are to be taken off. There's so

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>many good things about undies. I love the feeling of

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>not having undies on.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I told my mum.

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>She's like, what what do you mean? You don't undy?

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>She was disgusted.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 2>What about you? This is freaky.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm wearing undies right now.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Everybody, every like, everybody get in the rome is freaking out.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>This is all joke.

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>This is all joke, guys.

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, if you're gonna stand around and say that freeballing

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>isn't amazing, you're a liar.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Free balling.

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Free balling? Yeah, why can't I freeball? Hate wedgies? You

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>know I used to get wedgie in primary school. Okay,

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>so there's a bit of residual trauma there. My sister

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>used to rip my undy so hard that they would

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>rip in my asshole. The band would rip off, the bonds,

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>band would rip apart. Once my sister drew two eyes

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>above my bum crack and a smile, right, and then

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>went to school the next day and.

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I was wearing low rise jeans.

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize everyone could see their eyes. It was

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and four.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what's on your back? What? Oh my god,

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>too little us.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 3>If you are someone who identifies as creative or prefers

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 3>not to for fear that someone will try and make

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 3>you calculate how creative you are, or measure you against

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 3>your best creative friend, or compare you against the virtuo.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 3>So this is for you. It's really hard to be

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 3>self aware about your creative abilities. But here's something that

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 3>can help you get back on track. Maybe it's from

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 3>this book called one hundred and seventy seven Mental Toughness

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Secrets of.

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>The World Class.

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 3>It's about the thought processes, the habits and philosophies of

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 3>the greatest ones. It's by Steve Sebold Sie Bold. But

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 3>this is also reference on a TikTok by Couture and steal.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 3>So basically there are five tiers of creativity, kind of

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 3>like the food pyramid, how you've got the most populated

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 3>at the bottom, and then at the very tip it's

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 3>the least populated. So the most populated people would be

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 3>those who are creating not to lose. The people who

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>feel as though if they start, they'll fail because they

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 3>won't be exceptional straight away. The kind of people who'll say,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm not good enough, I'll start tomorrow, or

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 3>has so many potentially great ideas but just doesn't execute

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 3>on them. So they're kind of just like I think,

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot of people who are like, you know what,

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 3>I could in a different life, or I could, but

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't make that tea took one hundred percent one

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent okay, and then the next up. So the

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 3>second least populated is people who are creating to cruise.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 3>And I felt like this Sometimes it's when you get

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of like inconsistent with your output. You start something,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 3>you don't get the validation you're hoping for, and so

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 3>it makes you question whether or not you want to

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 3>continue doing it, and so other ideas I've just pushed through.

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Like I remember when I first made up my conversation

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 3>card games like twenty nineteen, and like the only reason

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 3>why I popped off immediately is because for the two

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>years prior, I'd been playing the game every day on

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Instagram before I even realized it was going to be

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 3>a game.

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, So it was like, oh, that's I was.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>I was doing it. I didn't realize.

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 3>And so when I have new ideas that I want

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.559
<v Speaker 3>to execute, sometimes I'm like, babes, it takes a minute

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 3>for things to really hit, you know what I mean.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 3>And then the next tier is people who are creating

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 3>to improve. These are inspired people who maybe have like

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 3>a belief altering event. You listen to an album that

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 3>really changes your life, like, no, I'm going to do

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>it today. I'm going to make something. Or you read

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 3>a really amazing book You're like, you know what, that's it.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to write this book. I'm going to do

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 3>this thing. You feel empowered based on something else that

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 3>you've consumed. And this is people in this kind of

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>phase of creativity get a lot of support and a

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 3>lot of traction, and that motivates them to keep on continuing.

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 3>So it's like when we get really good feedback for

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 3>the show, like damn, like we.

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Really do do that, Let's keep going.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Then you have the two tiers, which I just feel

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 3>like these are exceptional people, and I think most of

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 3>us are hoping to get to this peak eventually.

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>So you got people who are creating to complete.

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>And these are just the creative geniuses, big ego type

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 3>people that think they can be the best. They're really

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:03.599
<v Speaker 3>motivated by gratification. They've got positive self talk. You see

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>those people who are always cooking. I don't know about you,

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 3>but I've seen some people on the internet where I'm like, damn,

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>you just don't let up.

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Every day you.

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Are making the thing that you are inspired by. You're

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 3>putting in the work. You're really inspired. And it's almost

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 3>as if like they don't really care if they have

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:19.239
<v Speaker 3>an audience.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 2>They just know that they're good.

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>They just know it interesting.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 3>And then you have the very top tier of creativity,

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 3>the most like peak God Tear, and those are people

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 3>creating to express. So if the bottom tier is people

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 3>creating not to lose, these people are creating to express,

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.119
<v Speaker 3>so they become art in themselves. They believe they can't fail,

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 3>they can only learn, they can only grow, They're only

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 3>competing with themselves, and they've got complete faith in their

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 3>self image. For me, for you personally, in where you

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 3>are in your life at this very present moment, what's

0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 3>your relationship to creativity? Do you feel like you're a

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>creative person? How does that work for you? Beautiful?

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, right now I'm creating artwork on the back of

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>our sheets. If you hear little scribbling noises throughout our

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>recordings is because I literally am incapable of not drawing

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>when we're here. I've done a whole bunch of overlapping

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>hearts and that really good drawing now and like drawing

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the bits. Yeah, thanks queen.

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's the introduction of the color. Is working really

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>well for you?

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes. So I've always been a drawer since I was

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a little kid. I would just go into my room

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and draw for my relatives that came over, and gave

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>them presents of drawings.

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>So I would say I've.

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Always been like a very what's it called, like making

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>things creative, lots of drawing and writing and expressing myself.

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>That's what you call consistency.

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 1>There was some consistency there because I really enjoyed it.

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So I think for the first kind of a few

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>years of my life, it was very much the top tier.

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. It was giving incredible school projects

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>that would really blow the socks off the teachers and whatnot.

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh you're one of those.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, an amazing person to be Early on, I could

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 3>never fathom when I saw these really creative people who

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 3>really put everything, not even putting everything into it, but

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 3>definitely weren't cruising. Definitely were And I don't even know

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 3>if I observe these people to be talented or just committed.

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 1>No, you had to see my year five projects. I

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 1>literally go back and I'm I'm astounded. I peaked, you

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>know how, Like, Okay, so withdrawing, you have to keep

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>practicing to actually get good, Whereas there's a point when

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like you're all in year five and so you can

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>only be so good. Yeah, I must say, oh it

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>was the best.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>That's the best.

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Thing costs. And I will say, in my early twenties,

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I was operating on the highest field, which

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.119
<v Speaker 1>is just literally creating stuff.

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 2>That I liked.

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's beautiful when you do that. It was such

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>such a beautiful time.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it was the same for you,

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 3>but the time where audience feedback felt incidental.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, literally see it, don't see it?

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I like it? Yeah, I like it. Nothing is better

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 1>than that. And I'm always trying to get back to

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that from phase because it's when you create the best stuff.

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.319
<v Speaker 1>And it's also when if you create something like that

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and a fobbs you honestly do not give a rats.

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Ask, doesn't hear you? Like whatever, I make something you

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Whereas now you make something that you're not one

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent keen on me because the you know, some

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>realities have set in and and it really hurts your feelings.

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'd say sometimes I am operating from the lowest

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.439
<v Speaker 1>level purely because it's my job now. So you know,

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:09.839
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to feel like you've had a lot to

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 1>lose and you have to like keep up a rats race.

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>But I try and not let myself create from that

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>place because that's when it becomes unfun, and I think

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 1>that's where burnout happens. Of course that's easier so than none.

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you just have to pull your socks up. But

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I think especially with like comedy or trying to be

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>funny and stuff. You have to actually be enjoying yourself

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>for it to be to come across as like genuine

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and actually funny.

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>What about you, babe? I feel it.

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I feel like what I'm doing now is I'm trying

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 3>to recycle or get rid of anything that I'm doing

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 3>that's in that creating to not lose space or creating

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 3>to cruise because we don't have to create realistically, we

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 3>don't have to do all the things that we do.

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 3>There are key elements of our jobs that are definitely

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 3>non negotiable. But I think I personally spend a lot

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 3>of time doing things I don't do that I wrote

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 3>it my creativity, So it's like re rejigging that focus

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 3>and being like, Okay, just do what is inspiring to you.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Just do that because realistically, and it's been proven time

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 3>and time again, that eats.

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>It eats.

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 3>That stuff eats and it feels good when it's like

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.080
<v Speaker 3>you said, I don't think we can tap back into

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.719
<v Speaker 3>what it is to be twenty and having all this

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 3>like huboric and confidence or whatever, but we can definitely

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 3>tap into the feeling of creating from a more pure

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 3>place that's for or a more like egocentric place, really

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 3>like making for you, not for the imaginary spectator who

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 3>might see it and might like it, but you being like,

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:41.719
<v Speaker 3>oh I like that.

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I want to watch it again and again and again,

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and yes, I will watch it again and again.

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 3>This is really amazing. So to reiterate, the book that

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 3>we reference is one hundred and seventy seven Mental Toughness

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Secrets of the World Class and this was also referenced

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 3>by TikTok creator Coture and Steal.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to Flex and Rooms friendship Situationship Off the Dome.

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Does that say anything to us? I'm not quite sure.

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 3>But I've been thinking about how I've been reading Giang

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Yankovic's book called Just Friend Too, and she talks a

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>lot about the formative friendships that she's created in her

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 3>lifestyle and how over the course of her journalistic career

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 3>or writing careers, You've spoken a lot about the way

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 3>that friendships have impacted her. And I've been thinking about

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 3>how I am a big fan of the acquaintanceship m H.

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I think that it is sacred in nature. It is

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 3>I think the purest form of friendship transaction. No, you

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 3>can dip in and dip out of a dynamic and

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>nobody's feeling hard done by it. You know, those people

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 3>like party friends are a great example. No party friends,

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 3>she's checking for you mad because you didn't check it

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 3>on the weekend, or that you haven't seen each other

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 3>in three months because they've been no parties.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>They just kind of get what the dynamic is. But

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel as though when there's a bit of.

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 3>A gray area and you can't assign a friend to

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 3>an environment like a workplace friend or a party friend,

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 3>people don't like the gray area. It makes them feel

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 3>uncomfortable or they want to try and yeah, what are

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 3>we what is this?

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing? So they want to try and

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 2>escalate it really like really quickly, or they pull back

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>out of insecurity.

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, yeah, what happens when you are

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 3>in that grey area of acquaintance to potentially good friend?

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Because I've been thinking a lot about get really like

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 3>building acquaintanceships and doing that in a way that's not

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 3>leaving someone high and dry. I feel like you're good

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 3>at that, but I want to be better at it

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 3>because and I feel like what ends up happening for

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 3>me is that I end up making acquaintanceships that escalate

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.719
<v Speaker 3>into more And I think that's because it's just like

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>the nature of like the subject matters and the conversations

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.839
<v Speaker 3>and how a lot of the friends that I have

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.319
<v Speaker 3>are interconnected, So like I might have an acquaintance with

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 3>through me whose froom is really really close friend, and

0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I don't want to be their really close friend.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 3>I like being through me's friend and their acquaintance. But

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 3>when you start to like mix it up, it's kind

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 3>of like, let's just copy and paste, copy and paste,

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 3>Like no, no, no, no, no, no, orry, I don't

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 3>want to I don't want to.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Copy and paste. I just want to keep this in

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 2>its own little space for me.

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 3>And I'm kind of reckoning with this idea of like

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 3>what about when you have incompatible friendship needs with someone?

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 3>So what if I'm in a period of wanting acquaintanceships

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 3>and I'm dealing with people who want real best friendships.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>How do you temper the expectations.

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you do.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 3>I think people just don't get their needs met and

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 3>they're kind of like, oh, I don't like the way

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 3>this friendship's playing out.

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh some un comfyed is it is really See, I

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like with our job you get the chance to

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>meet a lot of different people, but yeah, it's harder

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to have the incidental Well it isn't It isn't like

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to go to events and see people, but

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>like you miss the opportunity to in a really low

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 1>stakes way create the hours.

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a little chat.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 3>And because of the industries that we work in, where

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 3>they hyper personalized and hyper social, I think that we're

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 3>all impacted by parasocial relationships. Like in our industry, acquaintanceships

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 3>feel closer or they appear closer because of the industries

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 3>that we're in as well.

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 2>So I'll have people.

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Assume that I'm really close with someone who's an acquaintance

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 3>of Frou and I professional acquaintance, And then it feels

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 3>strange that to say in plain English, oh no, we're

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 3>not friends.

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm shading.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 2>It's such a mean thing to say. I don't really

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 2>know them like that. I don't really know them like that.

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm a fan. I'm a fan of comment fan.

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's something to ponder.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Let's figure out some more terms for friendships because they

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 3>are as complex, if not more complex than romantic relationships,

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think we're doing them justice in the

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 3>way that we discuss them. It's very binary, like what

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 3>to do when you want to make friends, what do

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 3>you want to do when you want to break up

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 3>with a friend, and nothing in between.

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Literally, we are currently on the quest to become smarter

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>than literal school children. We've been doing the HSC exams,

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>including maths and food tech. That was last week and

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the year before, sorry, the week before. My god, I

0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like since I left school, I can't imagine going

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>back for a whole day and learning the whole day, Like,

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>how did we do that?

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we did.

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>We didn't, but I love we were there play lunch.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 3>She definitely were there. But I think high school dynamics,

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 3>mirror's office dynamics. Everyone just hanging out and like doing

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 3>incidental learning and working in between hanging out.

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 2>God, okay, time to work, all right, absolute heaven?

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Look okay, Mickey sprinted out the bis Man exam Business Management.

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do it in school, did you flex?

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 3>I did not know?

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you do it? Bis Man couldn't even pay me?

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 3>But if I went back, I would I'd study business, economics, history,

0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 3>none of.

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>These fun subjects. I was like, I'm going to do

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do design. I'm going to do would work.

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's like, you should have done drama. People who meet

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 3>me now that you didn't do drama. I was like, what, No,

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't see you doing drama, not at all. Anyway,

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 3>take school seriously, people.

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I say redacted. Okay, so we have the bis Man exam.

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with question one? What method of communication would

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>be most efficient for a business to share a weekly

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>staff meeting agenda? Email, letter, mammoridium or noticeboard? Come on, guys,

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 1>eat an email that's correct, but.

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Bring back a noticeboard because I feel as though give

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 3>people agency and seeking out information.

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Two? What type of question is most effective when

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to obtain more information from a customer about their needs?

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Closed communication? Oh, a close question, open question or reflect

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.119
<v Speaker 1>question or repeated question. It's be open question and.

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a reflective question though if you really

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.919
<v Speaker 3>think about it, Like, not business from a HC perspective,

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 3>but like, here's an open question for me.

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 2>What do you what do you eat for?

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 3>What did you eat for breakfast today? A smoothie exactly.

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 3>That's an open question. If I was starting a business

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 3>about smoothies, A reflective question is what do you hate

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 3>most about making smoothies every day? That would teach me

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 3>way more about your relationship to smoothies and the fact

0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 3>that you had a smoothie.

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 2>So is it education the curriculum?

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Is it open or reflective? B?

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 2>ORC? They say open, but I say they're lying.

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm correct. Three What category of sign has a

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 1>yellow background and a black triangle around the symbol? A emergency,

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 1>B mandatory, C prohibition.

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>And D warning warning warning.

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I would potentially go with emergency, but it's warning. And

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.959
<v Speaker 1>number four the final one. We've got a clean streak here, girls.

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Which of the following would create the most environmentally sustainable workplace?

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.679
<v Speaker 1>A using sensor lights, B adopting a green office program,

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 1>C establishing a recycling paper program, D encouraging staff to

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 1>use their own cups.

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 2>What's a green office program? Yeah, that sounds kind of good.

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I think if I had to lock in B, I

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>want to say A because I think that would actually

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 1>make the most of the difference. But let's go with B.

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 1>What hell is a green office system?

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 3>I guess that's it, like the whole, everything from the

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 3>top to the bottom, from stationery to center lights to

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 3>water consumption.

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Get it together, folks.
