1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: I think once again, like social media and potentially people

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: being a bit fake and all that when people do

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: own businesses and they talk about it online, they can

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: just show that glamorous side and make it seem very

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: easy and stuff, and you know, it can give people

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: a false representation of the reality of owning your own business.

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: But also because business isn't something that they teach in school.

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, they don't teach you anything about what it's

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: like to own a business or anything. We as a

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: society when we finish school or whatever, have no real

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: concept of what owning a business is actually like. And

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: I feel like the only way that you can know

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: for yourself is to give it a go.

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,480

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: we do get into her breast implant removal surgery that

39
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with health but was really just

40
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: a personal choice and the society pressures that come with

41
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: that whole situation. So honestly, guys, this chat is so

49
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: this whole thing that you're doing. So we've just been

50
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: laughing about me not knowing what I'm doing. I went

51
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to press record and you're like, you don't even have

52
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,280

53
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,520

55
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: chat and to get into it. And can I just say,

56
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to have you on the pod, I

57
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: was saying off air to Brit. I've followed her for

58
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: a very long time from Afar, love everything you do.

59
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Some very excited to use chat.

60
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm excited as well. We were just saying before, like,

61
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: even though we're in the same sort of space, like

62
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: this whole influencer business owner thing, our paths have never

63
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: actually crossed I feel like over the years, you know,

64
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: being I hate the word influence. I don't know about you,

65
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: but that is the word that we use to describe.

66
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: But you know, you will come across people, whether it's

67
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: at events or whatever. But our paths have actually never

68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: happened to gross. So here we are.

69
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, never cross. But this is honestly why

70
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: I love the podcast, because I get to talk to

71
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: people you know, I admire and have been following for

72
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: a long time, but on this like not just a

73
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: DM level, but this like let's have a DAL, let's.

74
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Have an actual conversation, yes for sure, Yeah right, yeah no,

75
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and especially like you'll find, you know, with your podcast too.

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: You do these interviews and yeah, you get to talk

77
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: to people you yeah you might know, but you get

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: that sort of deeper level.

79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: Rather than just a DM or just a comment.

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all about the yeah deep connection. I love

87
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: media people know me as Britney Lee Saunders, so then

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: when people meet me in real life, they're like, you're

89
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Britney Lee Saunders. I'm like, it's actually just Britney or

90
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: like even but people like call you by your full name.

91
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: So I am about to turn twenty eight and I'm

92
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: from Newcastle in New South Wales, which is just a

93
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: little beachy kind of city that we have here. I

94
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: was born here, but I've lived all around the country,

95
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: and so I made my mark on social media back

96
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: in the day. Back I'm an OG from so long ago.

97
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: You really are an OG?

98
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I started making YouTube videos in high school when

99
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: YouTube had just come out, and I think the biggest

100
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: girl YouTuber was Michelle Farn Do you remember her? No? Oh,

101
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: she was like the og, like beauty guru, like you know,

102
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: before any of this Instagram and everything. So I started

103
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: back then just because I found an intro. And then

104
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: you know, when I was eighteen nineteen twenty, the YouTube

105
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: channel started to grow and I was working in so

106
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: many jobs, mainly in like admin and pa and all

107
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And then when I got to

108
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: twenty one, I was like this is making me just

109
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: enough money that I think I can quit my job.

110
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: So I threw my job in. I was like, fuck it,

111
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a go. And yeah, fast forward

112
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: seven years and here I am and now, like you,

113
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm in the e commerce sort of world, and I've

114
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: got three brands under my belt now. So I've got

115
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: Fate the label, which is women's fashion, and then we've

116
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: got Stable Swim, which is swim, and then we've just

117
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: launched an active wear brand called form Active. So that's

118
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: fully my domain now. And I'm still juggling the whole

119
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: like trying to be an influencer thing on the side,

120
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: just basically keeping everyone entertained on my stories every night,

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: and that's basically it. I just work all the time

122
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: and love what I do.

123
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: Love that. Yeah, I know, well it's so interesting and

124
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to get into a chat about like

125
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: going because I personally find it so difficult going in

126
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: between an influencer and a business owner because they're both

127
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: kind of full time jobs. So you're one hundred trying

128
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: to run a company, trying to take stories, oh podcast,

129
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: It's like it's a lot. So we'll get into that,

130
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: But can you tell me, And I know this is

131
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: going to be so hard because I honestly don't know

132
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: what I would say if you ask me, but what

133
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: it's like a typical day and the life look like

134
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: for you?

135
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So every day really is different. But we

136
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: do have like a bit of a schedule. So five

137
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: days a week, I'm always at work, like at our

138
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: office because I have full time staff that work Monday

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: to Friday, and then depending like on the weekends, I

140
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: might be there as well. So I'm usually there anywhere

141
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: from five to seven days a week, but just depending

142
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: a usual day will just be myself going into work

143
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: and working with the girls, and really it just depends

144
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: what we've got on that. So most weeks we will

145
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: have new arrivals for one of the three brands. Every

146
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: week we're doing something new. So my main roles at

147
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: work is obviously running the joint. We've got a retail

148
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: store as well, so I oversee that, and I honestly

149
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: do everything and anything, whether it's like going and doing

150
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: a photo shoot, creating content for Oh I'm so sorry.

151
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: If you can hear my dog barking right now, you're

152
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: right me. Yeah, we do a lot of content creation.

153
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: Man.

154
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: What else? Like sometimes I'll be in the warehouse help

155
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: and packing orders, getting the website ready for new arrivals,

156
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: because we do it every single week. Yeah, mainly lots.

157
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Is your warehouse like connected to your office? Yes? Yeah,

158
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: same big building. Yeah, so I'm honestly, if I'm not

159
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: in the shop, I'll be packing orders, or I'm upstairs

160
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: shooting e commerce images for our website, or I'm out

161
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: at a photo shoot, or I'm helping the girls right

162
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: back to customer service emails if there's some difficult ones

163
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: in there, and yeah, just creating contenting, Yeah, creating.

164
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: Time do you wake up? I wake up at around

165
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: six thirty nice, Yeah, and then what time do you

166
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: go to bed?

167
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: One? It's really bad?

168
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? No?

169
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: No, it's really bad. The girls at work are like,

170
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: you need to stop. But I don't know. I think

171
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: it's because like I'm not the kind of person. So

172
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: shout out to Caitlin, one of the girls at work.

173
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: She is one of those people that's like, I need

174
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: eight hours and if I get any less, I'm not

175
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: going to be enjoyable to be around, Whereas I'm the opposite,

176
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: like I'm fine, I'll just get up, feel a bit tired,

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: and be on my way. But I think like when

178
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: you genuinely love what you do, like you can just

179
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: be excited even if you had four hours sleep. But

180
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: I'll say most nights I probably get six.

181
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm in shock because I'm Caitlin. You are

182
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: well seven, Like minimum is seven.

183
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I need to make that a goal of mine.

184
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: But in saying that for me, it honestly like I

185
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: have such probably like you, like, such a busy brain

186
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: that to actually get to sleep and have a good sleep,

187
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: I have to have this whole fucking night route for

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 2: me to get me in the zone. And it's like,

189
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: so I can't be like on screens after a certain

190
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: time and it's all this big. It's an ordeal.

191
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: You've got a routine. See, My routine is get in

192
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: bed and then aj always falls asleep before me. And

193
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: then that is when I watch TikTok videos and then

194
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: I'll spend like an hour on there and then I

195
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: start to fall asleep. So our routines are different. Yours

196
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: is like phone off, wine down. Mine is phone on screen,

197
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: blaring in my eyeballs, watching stupid videos. But no, I

198
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: probably do need to get my sleeping pack more in order.

199
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: But hey, no, but you've got to do what works

200
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: for you. I'm all about, like, fuck, what you know

201
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: everyone else is doing? Like works for you?

202
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: You're you're clearly killing it.

203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm okay for now. If you guys see

204
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: me go through any sort of breakdown, remember this podcast

205
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: and be like it's probably because she's tired.

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: I'm literally going to message you and be like, babe,

207
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: just get some sleep. That's fine, Like these problems aren't

208
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: that big here. Okay, Well, let's get straight into it.

209
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: So let's really talk about this transformation from you know,

210
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: you're an og influencer. You did YouTube, Instagram, everything. Let's

211
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: talk about the transformation from being an influencer to starting

212
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: your first company. I'm guessing it was fate.

213
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: M h.

214
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: What did that look like? And you know, was it

215
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: an idea? Is that something you wanted to do? Did

216
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: it all just fall into place? Yeah?

217
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: It kind of all just fell into place. And I

218
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: guess the only real experience I had had in fashion

219
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: was just doing hales on YouTube. Uh, you know, I

220
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: obviously loved fashion, but never thought anything really of it,

221
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: And the idea just came about and it fell into place.

222
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, when I first started Fate,

223
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: like we had this big launch party like it all

224
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: it took a while to set up, but it all

225
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: happened really quickly at the same time. But at that point,

226
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: I think back to it now, it's just over three

227
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: years ago. I never thought beyond that. So I thought, yeah,

228
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: this is great, We're going to launch this clothing label.

229
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: And we had a big launch party in Sydney, like,

230
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: I spent heaps of money on it. I made a

231
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: big deal out of it and whatever, and the launch

232
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: was really great. And then I never thought beyond that.

233
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Like it, I was younger back then,

234
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: but and the world is so different now, especially you know,

235
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: the e commerce and online store world. So I feel

236
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: like I was one of the very first influence. How

237
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: long have you had your brand for.

238
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: We're coming to two years.

239
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this was over three years ago, so I yeah, I.

240
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: Don't think I remember when you launched Extrait and this

241
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: was no one was doing it doing a company who

242
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: she thinks she No, I didn't think who she didn't.

243
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: I just thought such a bold move. Yeah, So I'm

244
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: really glad that I jumped onto it when I did,

245
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: because I feel like it is becoming quite a trend

246
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: now to see influences very saturated. Yes, Whereas when I

247
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: started it, I feel like no one else was really

248
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: doing it. Maybe some people were selling like eyelashes and

249
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: stuff like that, like that used to be really popular.

250
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: I do recall that.

251
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, like back then, and.

252
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was just gonna say, Britt, did it ever

253
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: cross your mind to instead of doing your own label, like,

254
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: do a collab with you know, a company that's already

255
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: set up or were you really set on making it

256
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: your own.

257
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: I've always been really independent, so I feel like it

258
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: never really crossed my mind to do a collab with

259
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: another company. And in saying that, whilst back then I

260
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: was doing little White Fox boutique halls and stuff on YouTube,

261
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I was getting paid to do that.

262
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: Brands back then weren't doing collab collections with influences. This

263
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: was so long ago that that whole thing of like

264
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: people doing a Boohoo collection and all that wasn't even

265
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: a thing, So it didn't even cross my mind. And yeah,

266
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: fast forward to now, like I didn't think this far

267
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: ahead into the future. I didn't think that it would

268
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: then turn into other brands. I didn't even think it

269
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: really going beyond my garage, you know, Like I had

270
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: my tub set up in my double garage and we

271
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: parked the cars on the street, and you know, I

272
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: didn't think beyond there. So now that I'm doing what

273
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: i'm doing, I'm like, this is exactly what I'm supposed

274
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: to be doing. And thank god I started. It was

275
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: fate that I started it, yeah, but I never really

276
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: thought that far into it, and here we are, and

277
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: it's literally the best thing I've ever done, because let's

278
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,479
Speaker 1: be honest, I was getting so sick of making YouTube videos,

279
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: like and people will always go, yeah, but that's where

280
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: you started, and you have all of us to thank

281
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: for your success, and it's like absolutely, but people do outgrowthings,

282
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: as I'm sure you're aware. And I was really struggling

283
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: to hold on to just doing the YouTube stuff because

284
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: I was doing stupid videos back then as well. I

285
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: was younger, like I was doing, Hey guys, I'm gonna

286
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: try American candy today, and then I'd get four million

287
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: views on that, and you know, but I couldn't upkeep

288
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: that for much longer because I had been all for years.

289
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't almost sustainable like you, I wasn't got to that.

290
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got to that.

291
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: Point where you're like, I almost need more depth in

292
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say depth, but you needed more in your life,

293
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: like almost like more purpose absolutely.

294
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Because like, yeah, making YouTube videos does have like a

295
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: shelf life and you can keep it going and then

296
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, but it does definitely have a shelf life.

297
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: And I wanted to do more because whilst it's great

298
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: to get all these millions of views on YouTube and

299
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: people know your name, you know, I was still just

300
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: sitting in my house by myself kind of thing, like

301
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: just doing it all myself, and that became pretty not boring.

302
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: But I just felt like I wanted to do more.

303
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I love that.

304
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: And I think also like if you think about it

305
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: from a perspective of you did have this audience like

306
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: you did have you know the means, and it's like,

307
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: why shouldn't you go out and create something that yourself?

308
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: Like I think sometimes people can feel a bit like, oh,

309
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: you know, who is she to do that? But it's

310
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: like would you rather you know, a middle aged man

311
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: create this company?

312
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: And you know what the thing is. The thing is,

313
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: if a middle aged man creates a clothing label, no

314
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: one would say anything, but if exactly if a woman

315
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: creates one, especially if it's an influencer, people be like, eh,

316
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: but it's like, come on, as if you wouldn't do

317
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: the same or at least give it a shot.

318
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: And but that that also annoys me too, because I

319
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: often get a lot of feedback in regards to me

320
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: as an influencer, of people saying, oh, I don't like influencers,

321
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: but I like you Georgie because of you know, you

322
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: have your background with doing law and and whatnot. And

323
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: I but I think like there's something wrong with that

324
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: in regards to thinking that you know, in society's ads,

325
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: it's more valu valuable. Sorry to be someone who is,

326
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: you know, a lawyer compared to an influence.

327
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: It's always but that's just sorry. It's the way the

328
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: world is unfortunately in social media, like there's just this

329
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: stigma around it. Yeah, you know, but at the end

330
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: of the day, I think it's up to us as

331
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: the person who is an influencer. I don't like that word, yeah,

332
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: to you know, be our true selves on our social

333
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: media and hope that our audience will just recognize that

334
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: and be able to spot like a genuine person from

335
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: someone who is fake or whatever it may be.

336
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: It's like, I do get it because there are a

337
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 2: lot of trash influencers out there promote whatever. Let's be honest,

338
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: they promote whatever. They're really bad in regards to their

339
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: only showing you their highlights, they're not real, And so

340
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: I completely get where And that's.

341
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Sad, Like, though you actually think about it, that is

342
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: so sad that some people are living out that life

343
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: on Instagram, Like I feel sorry for them, But.

344
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: Could you imagine how hard that would be, like trying

345
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: to not be yourself?

346
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: I know, and I'm sure a lot of people would

347
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: be being that way on social media. Like a lot

348
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: of people will think of someone who that they think

349
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: is pretty fake on social media and they're like, oh, yeah,

350
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: she's so fake, But like, why is that person acting fake?

351
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: I think it could even boil down to insecurities or

352
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: a fear of being then true selves, and they will

353
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: have this fake persona and whilst a lot of people

354
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: will see that as a negative and be like, Eh,

355
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: she's this and that, it's like but why is she

356
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: being like that. Let's take a second to think about that,

357
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: because who knows where that kind of stuff would stand

358
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: from one hundred percent probably childhood. Everything stands through childhood.

359
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: Everything is my parents' fault. Literally, I literally have the

360
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: best parents ever, and I always like talk to them

361
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: stuff like that and they're like, oh my god. But

362
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: brit what did your audience think when you transitioned from

363
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: influencer to more being business Like did you get any

364
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: flack on creating less content about starting a company?

365
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: Like?

366
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: What was their response? Yeah?

367
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Well, because this was so long ago, and because no

368
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: one else was really doing it. I'm not going to

369
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: say no one else wasn't doing it, because I know

370
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 1: there was a few girls doing like lashes and stuff

371
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: like that and like makeup brushes and stuff. But because

372
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: this was three years ago and I was like twenty

373
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: four ish twenty five, there was a lot of comments

374
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: around like my intentions and like why are you doing this?

375
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: Or you know, may just create content, yeah exactly, or

376
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: people just being like this is so random, or this

377
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: is just going to be one thing that she tries

378
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: to do for a bit and then she's just going

379
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: to give up on it, you know. And because because

380
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: I was younger, my audience was younger as well, So

381
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been a really long journey for

382
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: me over the last three years to prove to people

383
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: that I am serious when it comes to owning a

384
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: business and you know, creating amazing products. So yeah, whilst

385
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people were super supportive and everyone was

386
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: excited like oh my god, you know it was amazing,

387
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: there was those comments floating around, like questioning my intentions

388
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: and also whether this was something I was just trying

389
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: to make a quick buck out of. But I feel

390
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: like now three years in and two other brands under

391
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: my belt, people are like, wow, Brittany actually is serious

392
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: about this shit.

393
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: You have proved just I have.

394
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: And once again, going back to the whole influencer thing,

395
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: what I've spoken about on my podcast recently is just

396
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: how I think we as influencers almost do have to

397
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: put in the extra hard yards to prove to people

398
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: that we are serious because it is such a saturated

399
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: market now and there is so many influences starting this,

400
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: that and the other. Meal plans workouts all this stuff

401
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: that we do lose who's the credibility. So whilst we

402
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: have an advantage of being an influencer and having the

403
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: audience and you know there's potential customers straight off the bat.

404
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's up to us even more so to

405
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: prove ourselves that we are legitimate.

406
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: No I do. I totally agree, And I think that's

407
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: what I think too, is it's not it's not the

408
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: worst thing. If you know, if I have to prove

409
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: that I'm organic and I'm you know, authentically myself and

410
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: I've got to stick it out, it's like, yeah, it's

411
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: all good.

412
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I can do that. Oh, I'm happy to do that.

413
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: I do get where people, Yeah, I do get where

414
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: people come from because there is a lot going on.

415
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: There is a lot of people, you know, creating businesses

416
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: or creating things where you're like, does that make sense?

417
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly so. And that's interesting as well from my

418
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: point of view, like being in this for three years,

419
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: Like whenever an influencer does come out with a brand,

420
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: a product, whatever it may be, I'm always interested to

421
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: like quietly follow their journey just to see, you know,

422
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: like where they go with it, what they come out

423
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: with next. Are they going to give up on it?

424
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: You know, I guess because I've been doing it for

425
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: three years now. I'm always really interested to see a

426
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: new startup and where it goes. I'm sure you might

427
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: be the same, Like I always like sticky beaking on

428
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: what everyone else is doing.

429
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: AE hundred and ten percent because I always like, I

430
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: think the biggest thing that I underestimated in regards to

431
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: starting like a company from the ground out, because much

432
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: like you, I'm very independent. I had, you know, quite

433
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: a few offers in regards to doing my own you know,

434
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: line or something with a supplement company, and so I

435
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: was always like, no, I really want to start it

436
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: from the ground out. I want to be able to

437
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: be I'm in control freak. So it was all about having.

438
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Me too, like I've always done everything so independently my

439
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: whole life. So yes, no I could.

440
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: I don't think I got even very important.

441
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I could even have a business partner.

442
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: But your business partner is your brother, right.

443
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and that's like we yeah, we're siblings, so

444
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: we're very like there's so much loyalty, there's so ye exactly,

445
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: there's so much respect, and there's so much kind of

446
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: I can be so straight up with him. I'm not

447
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: worried about, you know, his feelings.

448
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because the fuck that, Like, I can't imagine

449
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: having it. I can't, like, I can't imagine the conflict.

450
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Like it's one thing dealing with stuff and having issues

451
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: with them, but then like imagine having a business partner

452
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: where you're like in on it together and then you've

453
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: got to say something to them and you're worried about

454
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: them getting upset. Like, my personality couldn't deal with that. No,

455
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm such so at least you've got your brother because

456
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: you can just blow up at him and he's still

457
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: your brother after it.

458
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's been quite a few times where he's

459
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: just hung up on me and I've just got and

460
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: he knows that's what I hate the most. Oh god,

461
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: So I just like my blood boy and I will

462
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: then start like texting him in caps and he's like,

463
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: because he's someone who doesn't deal with that, Like if

464
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: I start like raising my voice, he's just like, no,

465
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 2: you will speak to me like and because I'm a

466
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: fire human, like I'm a leo. Mean yes, right, I'm

467
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: not even fucking angry. I'm just like fire passionate, Yeah, passionate.

468
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 2: But yeah, what I was kind of saying is one

469
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: hundred percent I love seeing what people do because even

470
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: me getting into naked Harvest, I totally underestimated how much

471
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: work goes into it when you're doing everything yourself. Gally,

472
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: we have a team, you have a team, but yeah,

473
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: like the work, so yeah, when other people do it,

474
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: I always go, hmm, I wonder if this is gonna laugh,

475
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: because I do know that not everyone wants to own

476
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: a business and do that and work weekends, because yes,

477
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: some people.

478
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Might also, like you know, influencers starting brands and everyone

479
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: questioning their intentions. You know, I think a lot of

480
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: the time influencers will be enticed by the idea of

481
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: saying that they own a brand, and then they quickly realized,

482
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: holy shit, this is not for me because it's too

483
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: much work. Kind of thing as well, exactly.

484
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: And I think some influencers are like from their heart space,

485
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: They're like, I'm a content creator at heart, Like they

486
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: love you know, editing YouTube videos and they love filming.

487
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: Like me personally, I'm not a content creator by heart,

488
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: Like I like creating content and it complements my lifestyle,

489
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: but that's not like my ride or die. And I

490
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: think once you do, you know, you know, have your

491
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: own thing. That obviously takes so much time away from influencing.

492
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of people too, they're like, fuck,

493
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: I don't have you know, the time to create this

494
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: epic content and stuff like that. Did you find that

495
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: it was harder to, you know, create content and keep

496
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: that side of everything going when you started your businesses?

497
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so ever since I started Fate three years ago,

498
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: so my main thing that I did before that was

499
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: obviously YouTube, and then you know, Instagram and Snapchat on

500
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: the side. I don't have Snapchat anymore. I feel like

501
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm too old for it. But back then me, Snapchat

502
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: was absolutely booming. So those were my three priorities. And

503
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: then when Fate started, I pretty quickly learned, holy shit,

504
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: I can't pump out the same amount of YouTube videos

505
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: that I have been and so it was just a

506
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: gradual decrease and I'd go to like one video a month,

507
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: and then one every two months, and then three months

508
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: and now, oh my god, I haven't uploaded a YouTube

509
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: video for so long. I think it's honestly, like, way

510
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: back in last year or something that I posted my

511
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: last video, and I'm like, even to this day, I'm like,

512
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: do I need to get back on there and be.

513
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: Like, hey, do you know that TikTok?

514
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Do you watch TikTok's.

515
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love.

516
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: Do you know the audio? It's like, hey, hell, y'll

517
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: do it? Do I need to just go on my

518
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: YouTube and sit down. It's me just like hey, hell yeah, clated.

519
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: But it's funny because then I'll see people like because

520
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: I have TikTok and I just post stupid stuff on

521
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: there like it's good fun, and people will go, oh

522
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: my god, I remember following you years ago on YouTube.

523
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: Where have you been all this time? And it's like, mate,

524
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm fucking I'm still here. Like, come on my Instagram.

525
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm there every day vlogging my whole life. But you're

526
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: just supposed to show that people don't keep up with

527
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: you on every single platform. But yes, I definitely noticed

528
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: it became really hard to keep up, especially the YouTube

529
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: part because that's like a whole job in itself. But

530
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: over the years, I've kept my Instagram story game strong.

531
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: Like basically every day on my Instagram Stories is like

532
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: a minuteture movie. So if I go a day without

533
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: like doing stuff on my stories, people start asking where

534
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: I am. So I have managed to keep that up somehow.

535
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: As for YouTube, it's currently sitting.

536
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: In the.

537
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: Little pile. Yeah, yeah, Louis, it is in the trash.

538
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: But uh, maybe I will go back, and I think

539
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: I just need to go back and do a video

540
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: and just be like, hey, guys, like, how are you well.

541
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: This is so I totally resonate with this because I

542
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: struggle so much in regards to in saying that I'm

543
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: doing better than you, because I do at least a

544
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: video a month, but Ki, I'm.

545
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: Still crying over the fact that I can't see you

546
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: right now.

547
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: And now this, I know, now we got more, but

548
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's like a struggle, and it's like not

549
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 2: you know, as the standard usually you know before, and

550
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: it's just because of time. And I think.

551
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: Anyone that's like mature enough, I guess will see that.

552
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: You know, over the last couple of years, there has

553
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: been comments like you just gave up YouTube and that's

554
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: where you started and you owe all of us for

555
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: your success, and it's like absolutely I do, but I

556
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: also owe my hard work, like is also what made Yeah,

557
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: but anyone, and I think most of my followers, you know,

558
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think they're happy with what I'm giving them,

559
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. And I think they

560
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: would understand, like she doesn't have the time to make

561
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: YouTube videos. Look at all these other stuff that she's

562
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: doing across three brands and a store and the stuff

563
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: and her podcast and the Instagram stories every day. So

564
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: I think people understand for the most part, one hundred percent.

565
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's also realizing that in the end too,

566
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: like you need to be happy. And it's like if

567
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: Instagram story is the place that you want to show

568
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: up and you know, b brit then it's like you've

569
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 2: got to do what's best for you because otherwise you're

570
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: just putting like half aast content on YouTube exactly.

571
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: And that's what I felt like I was doing for

572
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: a while there. I was uploading for the sake of

573
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: uploading because I felt bad that I wasn't And then yeah,

574
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: I just was like, you know what, I've also got

575
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: to just like allocate my time to what is most

576
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: valuable and most important kind of thing. You know, Like

577
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: if I kept working so hard on YouTube, it wouldn't

578
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: really get me anywhere in the future. Whereas like, you know,

579
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm turning twenty eight, Like I want to set myself

580
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: up for life kind of things. So putting more effort

581
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: into my businesses is going to be you know, more

582
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: beneficial in the long run. Yeah.

583
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: And I think also like people appreciate growth in regards

584
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: to like, there would be so many people who find

585
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: your Instagram stories and stuff about business so much more

586
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: interesting now exactly your surface level content on YouTube they're getting, yeah,

587
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: like they're getting more out of it. They're seeing the

588
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. Like I think the reason why influencer

589
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: brands can do so well is because we show everything,

590
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: and everyone loves transparency. Everyone loves you know, behind the

591
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 2: scene and seeing all that sort of thing. So it's

592
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: kind of yeah, you've just got to wait up and

593
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: be like, I've got to do what's best for me.

594
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: Oh exactly, Yeah, for sure, And so tell us about Okay,

595
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: a couple more questions about business and then we'll move

596
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: on from that. But what would you say the hardest

597
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: part of owning a businesses?

598
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: Oh, a few things, but I guess number one probably

599
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: just like learning to switch off, which is something I'm

600
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: still not doing well.

601
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: You're going to bed at one am, so see.

602
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: I've been at night out my whole life, even when

603
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: I went to school, Like, I have never been someone

604
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: that goes to bed early. I cannot tell you the

605
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: last time I went to bed before midnight. I'm talking

606
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: over ten years probably, oh my god. But just genuinely

607
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: like knowing when to switch off kind of thing, because

608
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: I can just always be working, like my staff work

609
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: eight till four and then so I'll come home at four.

610
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll stay back until like five or six. But

611
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 1: then I could literally just be on my laptop and

612
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: my desktop and my phone for the rest of the night,

613
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: like it just never stops. But you know, whilst that's

614
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: like one of the biggest challenges for me, at the

615
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: same time, I don't see it as a challenge because

616
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: I enjoy it so but it's almost a problem because

617
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: I could just literally work twenty four to seven.

618
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I like I'm just listening to this

619
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: going holy shit. Brittany is like literally me, I'm an

620
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: exact name. Like I'll do a whole day at the

621
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: warehouse and then come home and just be able to

622
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: keep working on me too.

623
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it gets to bloody one am and

624
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm like I need to stop, Like I have to

625
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: force myself sometimes, but it is a problem, but when

626
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: you love what you do, like I'd work twenty four

627
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: to seven if I didn't need sleep, you know what

628
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean.

629
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I think that's like people like, oh, yeah,

630
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: I'll start my own business and I'll have more like

631
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: lifestyle and flexibility.

632
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: No, I might.

633
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: Honestly, I work way more now in my own business

634
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: than any time.

635
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh one of one hundred percent. My sister owns a

636
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: little Italian restaurant here in Newcastle, and she's three years

637
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: younger than me, and so she was a waitress there

638
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: for years, and then the guy was selling it and

639
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm going to buy it, and I'm like,

640
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: like yep, like go for it. This was I think

641
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: this was just around the same time that I was

642
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: starting Fate, or maybe just a bit before that. She

643
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: took over the restaurant and I specifically remember her saying,

644
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: and no offense to my sister, not that she'd be

645
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: listening to this, she was like, I just can't wait.

646
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: Like keep in mind she's been a casual waitress at

647
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: this restaurant for the last few years. She's like, it's

648
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: going to be so good. I'm going to be able

649
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: to go on so many holidays and I'm just going

650
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: to pay myself heeds and I'm just there going okay,

651
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: And now she's like, you know, working, yeah, the lunch,

652
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: the lunch and the dinners, and like, you know, she

653
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: hasn't had holidays. But I'm like, I think once again,

654
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: like social media and potentially people being a bit fake

655
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: and all that when people do own businesses and they

656
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: talk about it online, they can just show that glamorous

657
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: side and make it seem very easy and stuff, and

658
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, it can give people a false representation of

659
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: the reality of owning your own business. But also because

660
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: business isn't something that they teach in school, you know,

661
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: they don't teach you anything about what it's like to

662
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: own a business or anything, we as a society when

663
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: we finish school or whatever, have no real concept of

664
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: what owning a business is actually like. And I feel

665
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: like the only way that you can know for yourself

666
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: is to give it a go, if you know what

667
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: I mean, like.

668
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, because.

669
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: I feel like people are like when they think if

670
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: people have just come out of year twelve, right, they've

671
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: just finished school, and then you ask them, like, what

672
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: do you think when you think of business owners. I

673
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: feel like most kids would say, oh, just like lots

674
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: of money and like a big house, and you know,

675
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: I feel like that would be the general consensus. I

676
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: don't know if school is different now because I have

677
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: been out of school for ages, but back then, like

678
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: that's all I would have said, like, oh, yeah, like

679
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: the rich kids at my school their parents own businesses,

680
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: Like that would be it, that's the yeah, when in reality,

681
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: it's like business owners work bloody harder than anyone else.

682
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: Not taking credit away from other people, but you work

683
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: so so hard when you have your own business.

684
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Well I actually like my experience is a

685
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: tiny bit different because my parents, they you know, came

686
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: from nothing. They had a plumbing business, built that from

687
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: the ground to up, and you know, retired when they

688
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 2: were fifty, so did did quite well for themselves. But

689
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: I actually remember seeing how hard they worked.

690
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: See that's so good for you. And I guess kid that, yeah,

691
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: kids would kids who do have parents that own a business,

692
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: that would be a really good like learning experience for them.

693
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 2: So yeah, And I also remember thinking, if I'm going

694
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 2: to do this whole own my own business, it's going

695
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: to be something that I absolutely love because I saw

696
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: how hard it was and I just thought, oh my god,

697
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: I could not put in that much effort unless I

698
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: was like in love with Oh.

699
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: You have to love what you do, and I think

700
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: if you don't love what you do, you need to

701
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: be able to walk away from it, just like anything

702
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: like a relationship or a friendship. Same with business. My

703
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: advice to anyone out there that does want to start

704
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: a business of their own, whatever it may be, make

705
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: it something that you genuinely love, whether it's something you

706
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: love yourself or know people who love it. I just

707
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: feel like the idea of owning a business is so

708
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: enticing because we're not brought up really learning anything about it,

709
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: and then we see it on social media and it

710
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: looks so amazing. But I feel that people would get

711
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: into business and go holy shit and realize how much

712
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: it is. And yeah, I would suggest walk away if

713
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: you ever start a business that you don't feel passionate about,

714
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 1: because otherwise I feel like you won't get any momentum.

715
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent.

716
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Your heart has to be in it for sure, and

717
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: your whole body and brain twenty four.

718
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 2: Cents everything has to be in it. Yes, Well, let's

719
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: switch gears, and let's chat about breast implant removal.

720
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: Why not after that, can we talk about like toenail

721
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: clippings or yeah.

722
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about all that gross starting. No, So

723
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: I want to chat to you about this because this

724
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: is a topic definitely close to my heart. I don't

725
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: literally close to your heart like the plant, right, yeah,

726
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: very close to my heart. Now it's not. But I

727
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: personally got my implants. I got them done when I

728
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: was nineteen. Shit, now, I got them done when I

729
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: was nineteen, and I flew to Thailand and got them

730
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: done there. Yeah, nice, so lovely for me, and I

731
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: had them for seven years and it wasn't until the

732
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: last couple of years where I had really severe health

733
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: issues that no one could work out. And then I

734
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: just had this intuitive feeling and also had watched a

735
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: lot of content on it and got my implants out

736
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: and Lily like, I'm a different human. It's ridiculous, that's Yeah.

737
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 2: The last couple of years they were making me really sick,

738
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: and I got a thyroid disease and I had a

739
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: miscarriage and all this stuff happened, and it was just

740
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: it was a lot. So I am definitely passionate about just,

741
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 2: you know, shedding light on it because I got my

742
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: implants thinking oh, there's nothing wrong with them, and I

743
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 2: need to get them to look a certain way. And

744
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: I just now looking back, George, you're a fucking idiot.

745
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: And I can just only imagine how many other women

746
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 1: would feel exactly the same, because exactly for everyone listening,

747
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: I had breast implants as well, and I think I

748
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: got them in Yeah, tell her, so I had breast implants.

749
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: I love that we both had breast implants and now

750
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: we don't. That's the most fucked up.

751
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: And we're not even thirty.

752
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: A lot of guys, I've had two surgeries here, so

753
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: I got mine. I think I would have been like

754
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: twenty three or twenty four, so I was a little

755
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: bit older, so I knew exactly what I was doing.

756
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: But then again, I look back at myself at that age,

757
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: and I didn't know what I was doing in life,

758
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: even though I felt like I really had it all together.

759
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, is that going to be us for

760
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: the rest of our lives? Like now at twenty eight,

761
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like I know everything. In five years,

762
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: am I going to look back at myself now and

763
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: be like, oh god.

764
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 2: I one hundred percent this is going to keep happening

765
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 2: for the rest.

766
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: Of our lives. How much more can I possibly learn?

767
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: Because I'm already pretty smart. So kidding, but yeah, I

768
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: got implants as well.

769
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: I'd the most I asked them. Can I ask you?

770
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: Why can you ask them? Can I ask them? How

771
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: can I ask you why you wanted to get them?

772
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: I'd wanted them for ages, Like I remember when I

773
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: was like a teenager looking at girls who had them,

774
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: and I always admired them. I just feel like when

775
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: I got them and when you got yours, like back then,

776
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: in all those years, it was a trend to get them.

777
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: I can see the trend fading away. Now it's still

778
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: a booming business, but I am seeing more of a

779
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: trend now of people like getting over the whole implant look.

780
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: And you know, people are becoming ill and they have

781
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: breast implants and then they get them taken out and

782
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: then they all of a sudden better. And whilst it's

783
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: not you know, confirmed by the doctors or like some

784
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: doctors believe in, you know, breast implant illness and stuff,

785
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: I just feel like there is a lot of information

786
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: out there now that wasn't out when we were younger,

787
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: and so I feel like women now are more cautious

788
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to making those kinds of decisions. But

789
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: I got them purely for the aesthetics. I had, like

790
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: smallish boobs, like maybe a B or C cup at most,

791
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: but like pretty small, and I always just wanted bigger boobs.

792
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: And when I think about that now, I think, why

793
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: the fuck did I ever think that in my head? Like,

794
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: at what point did I think, yes, I want heavy

795
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: things on my chest.

796
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by Naked Harvest Supplements,

797

798
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: This company was really brought to life because I have

799
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: been using supplements for such a long time since the

800
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: start of my fitness journey. But what I really struggled

801
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: to find was all natural supplements without the crap, that

00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,120

826
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 2: let's get back into the episode.

827
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, But I really wanted it.

828
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: I wanted that look and like honestly, And I don't

829
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: know if you feel the same, because you know, some

830
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: women get their breast implants out because they're sick and

831
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 1: they hate how they look after it. But for me,

832
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: the reason why I got mine out is because I

833
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: hated how they looked on me, and that was the

834
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: most fucked up thing for me to realize. Luckily, for me,

835
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: I was totally myself. I only had them for three years,

836
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: so who knows, you know, maybe I could have eventually

837
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: started getting sick, Like I know, some women get really

838
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: sick and some don't. And I think that's why there's

839
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: so much like arming and a ring in the whole,

840
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: like doctor and plastic surgery world, like you know how

841
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: some doctors so fully believing in it and some aren't. Yes,

842
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just because it's like not every single

843
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: person gets sick, you know what I mean, But to.

844
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: Me, it's yeah, And I think it's because everyone reacts

845
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: like has exactly been symptoms. That's like they can't pinpoint

846
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 2: one symptom that everyone has, so it's just like a

847
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: bit of a sham.

848
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also today, like, if you are putting any

849
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: sort of foreign object in your body, your body can decide,

850
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: you know what. I don't like this, yeah, like it

851
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: does make sense, yes, exactly, and you know what, some

852
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: other women's bodies may not react, and it's fine to

853
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: be in there.

854
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: I love foreign objects here.

855
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: And so I was totally fine with mine, luckily, But

856
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: I have read a lot on Facebook, and I don't know.

857
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: I feel like it was like, not even a year

858
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: into having them, I just started I looked in the

859
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: mirror and I wasn't happy with what I was seeing,

860
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: which was so messed up for me because the reason

861
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: why I got them in the first place because was

862
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: because I wasn't happy with how I looked as well.

863
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: And so I just did this full like not even

864
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: a three sixty, I did a one eighty, where I

865
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden didn't like them being big

866
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: on my chest, and which is weird because I hear

867
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: that a lot of women that get breast in plants

868
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: often wish they went bigger. But for me, it was like,

869
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: oh my god, these are too big on my body

870
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And so for two years after that,

871
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: I went through this whole phase of feeling guilt that

872
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: I'd got them, and I would say to aj oh,

873
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: like I would. I never cried over them, I don't think,

874
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: but I really started hating how I looked, and I

875
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: felt guilty that it was because of something I'd done myself,

876
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: and that I felt like I couldn't go back on

877
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: because then I was worried about what people would say,

878
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: like you got these in and you told us all

879
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: you were getting them, and then you know, I went

880
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: and got them because of you, and now you've just

881
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: turned around and got them out, like you know, make

882
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: up your mind. So for two years, basically I sat

883
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: on it and I didn't want to say anything, and

884
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: i'd become and I still am, like I'm really good

885
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 1: friends with one of the girls that manages the plastic

886
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: surgeon's office that I went to because I went to

887
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: a local one here in Newcastle, and so I became

888
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: really good friends with Jess who manages it, and so

889
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: then it was this whole like oh my god, like

890
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm really good friends with her now and I know

891
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: the surgeon and his wife because it's like a family

892
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: owned business, and I was like, I feel so bad

893
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 1: that I couldn't even go to them and go, hey,

894
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: look like it's not got anything to do with you guys,

895
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: but I'm actually not happy with how these looks. So

896
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: I sat on it for like a year and I

897
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: two years, and I winged to aj my mom. And

898
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: the thing is like, you know, aj Mom, like all

899
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: my friends and stuff. When I would say to them

900
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: like I hate how they look on my body because

901
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: they actually looked nice, none of them could understand what

902
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: I was saying, right, And then it made me feel

903
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: more crazy because you know, my mom's there going I'll

904
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 1: have him like they look fantastic, you know, like.

905
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 2: Mom saying, so Britt, can I quickly say something because I, oh,

906
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: my god, Like I know the feeling. It's like I

907
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: remember looking in the mirror and being like, I get

908
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: this is the ideal of what I should like, but

909
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 2: it's like this for me. It was like looking in

910
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 2: the mirror and going like these aren't this isn't my

911
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 2: true body.

912
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, like this isn't me. They just didn't feel a part.

913
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: Of me and disconnected.

914
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: Yes, like as like that's how I felt, Yeah, that's

915
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: how I felt as well. And then just the guilt

916
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: of like this was something that I chose to do

917
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: and I wanted to do for so long. So I

918
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: felt this guilt and you know, me saying to my

919
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: mom like I'd send photos to my mom of me,

920
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: like in the mirror with no shirt on me, like, Mom,

921
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: see how big they look and they look wrong on

922
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: my body, and she'd just be like, no, like they

923
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: look awesome, because they did look awesome, Like they were

924
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: never botched or anything like that. The surgeon did a

925
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: fantastic job, but at the end of the day, yeah,

926
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and it just got

927
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: to a point where I was like, fuck it. And

928
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: I told Jess, who manages the plastic surgeons, and she

929
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: felt so bad that I hadn't said anything. So I'd

930
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: spend all this time like freaking out, going, oh my god,

931
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: they're going to think that I hate them, like as

932
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: people or whatever. And she was just like no, like,

933
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you should have told us, you know.

934
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, I was like,

935
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: it's my body, and you know, it doesn't matter. All

936
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: it matters is you know, this is what I want

937
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: to do. It. I've been pondering on it for so long,

938
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: so I booked myself in and I got them out

939
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: just before COVID kind of hit yeah, and so yeah

940
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: it was.

941
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: And how do you feel now they're out?

942
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: Like I literally said to AJ the other night when

943
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: I got out of the shower and I was like

944
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: drying myself, I was like, remember when I had like

945
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: fake boobs. So it got to the point where like

946
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror with

947
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: no shirt on because I didn't like what I was seeing.

948
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: And it's so messed up because like they never looked bad.

949
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 1: They looked great, Like in terms of aesthetics, they looked

950
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: like a nice natural pair of boobs, but just inside

951
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: I didn't feel right having them. And so now, like

952
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: I honestly haven't looked back. I now have never looked

953
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: down at my chest or looked at myself in a

954
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: mirror or in a photo and gone, oh god, I

955
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: look so bad now, or like my boobs are gone,

956
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm back to fully loving my body. And yeah,

957
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: like I'm like this is who I am now, Like

958
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: I literally feel like myself and lucky for me, you know,

959
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: unlike you, I was my normal self the whole time,

960
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't experiencing any sort of sickness or anything.

961
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: But in another sense, what I was experiencing was they

962
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: were affecting my life on a mental level. Yeah, and

963
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: I was becoming so interesting. Yeah, And I felt stupid,

964
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: like because I couldn't talk to anyone about it because

965
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 1: no one else understood, Like AJ didn't understand, my mom,

966
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: didn't understand, my friends. They were all like, they look great,

967
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And it took me a

968
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 1: long time to realize that it was just in my mind.

969
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: It was a mental thing. And I got them out

970
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: and I walked out of the surgery. I was like,

971
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 1: I feel so happy now, and I honestly haven't looked back,

972
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: Like I love my boobs now. They're a little bit lopsided,

973
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: like one is a bit lower than the other. But

974
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have it any other way, because, yeah, it

975
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: made me realize how much I wanted them out. After

976
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: I actually got them out.

977
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 2: I absolutely love that. You just completely honored yourself too,

978
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: like you're like, no, everyone's like, you know, not on

979
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: my side, but this is something that Yeah, that's.

980
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: What it came down too. And you know what, I

981
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: was so scared. You know, obviously I made YouTube videos

982
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: about it back in the day when I got them

983
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: in and documented the process, and like, you know, so

984
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: I was really worried that when I got them out.

985
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: Luckily I got them out when it was coming up

986
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: to winter, so then I wore jumpers for quite a

987
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: few months, and then I didn't tell everyone until the

988
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: weather started warming up later last year because it had

989
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: been maybe like five months that since I got them out.

990
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I hadn't worn bikinis or anything, so

991
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: no one really noticed. And when I had the implants

992
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: in as well, I never really got my boobs out,

993
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: Like I don't know for what reason did I ever

994
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: get there in the first place, because I don't dress

995
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: in like little things that show off my boobs anyway anyway,

996
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: So I find people started asking when they noticed, like, oh,

997
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: like you have you gotten your implants removed? And I

998
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about it for a long time

999
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: because I was worried about, you know, upsetting my friend

1000
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: Jess that works at the Plastic Sedion. I don't know

1001
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: why I was worried about upsetting her. I think that's

1002
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: just like who I am. I didn't want her to

1003
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: think I was like shaming her or anything like that.

1004
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: But when I sat down and spoke about it on

1005
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: my stories, I was worried that then there was going

1006
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: to be that influx of like, oh my god, this

1007
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: is so stupid, you know, like how could you go

1008
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 1: and do this? Imagine how many girls would have went

1009
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: out and done the same thing because you did. But

1010
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: I honestly did not get one bad message, not one

1011
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: bad comment. I got an influx of girls saying good

1012
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: on you, brit and you know, like doing what you

1013
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: feel is right and you know, so important. Yeah, and

1014
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: so many messages from women saying we need to normalize

1015
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: changing our mind about things, especially things like a surgery

1016
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: or you know, because when we go in and get

1017
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: these things done, like luckily for us, implants are something

1018
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: that you can take out, but a lot of other

1019
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: surgeries out there you can't reverse. And the fact that

1020
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: we are allowed to get these surgeries from as young

1021
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: as you were, and the fact that you could go

1022
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: overseas and get it, like to me that young, I know,

1023
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: you can't be making decisions like that because you know,

1024
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: even back when I was twenty.

1025
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 2: Three, it changed so much, oh so much.

1026
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: And like back when, as I said, when I was

1027
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: twenty three. I thought I had my life together. I

1028
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: was just starting up my first business, Like, yes, I'm

1029
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: going to go and get implants. But I look back

1030
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 1: at myself now back then, and I'm like I had

1031
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 1: I was not like mature enough to make that decision,

1032
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: let alone nineteen eighteen, seventeen, you know what I mean.

1033
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: And they're huge decisions. I don't know how we're allowed

1034
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 1: to make those kinds of decisions, Like to me, something

1035
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: doesn't seem right then, like eighteen and going and getting

1036
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: breast in plants, Like luckily it's you know, something that

1037
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: you can reverse, but it is expensive to reverse it,

1038
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, So we just.

1039
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 2: Paid a lot of money to do nothing to our bodies.

1040
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know, but you know what I as

1041
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: I have said, like it's it was a journey for

1042
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: me and everything's a lesson exactly. And it you know,

1043
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: took me hating my natural body, having a surgery, getting

1044
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: implants in kind of liking them to begin with, and

1045
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: then completely falling out of love with the implants, and

1046
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: then hating myself again to then have them removed. I've

1047
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: done a full circle. And whilst sure it was a

1048
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: waste of time, and money. I'm glad that I did

1049
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: it because it was a huge lesson for me in

1050
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: terms of, like, you know, being able to go back

1051
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 1: on decisions I've made, because you know, people don't. You

1052
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: don't like going back on something you've decided on, especially

1053
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: something as big as that. So for me, it was

1054
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: just like I was glad because it was a.

1055
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: Journey and I learned an important thing to go through.

1056
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 2: Well that's even like for me, I love what you said,

1057
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: Like I got to the point as well because I

1058
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: didn't get my implants weren't too big or anything, but

1059
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: I remember feeling the exact same and feeling like not

1060
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 2: wearing certain stuff because I didn't want my implants out.

1061
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 2: And even like the other day, me and Tim went

1062
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: to the store and I was just wearing a bikini

1063
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: top and some like flowy pants because we lived close

1064
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 2: to the beach as well, And he actually mentioned something

1065
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 2: and said, like, when I had my implants, I was

1066
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 2: really weird about showing them, not showing them off, but

1067
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 2: just being like, you know.

1068
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: I was exactly the same because I.

1069
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 2: Was, Yeah, I almost felt like over sexualized and I

1070
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 2: felt really like weird, where's now because I've got my

1071
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 2: little itty bitty natural thing.

1072
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: For me too, I'm like, I don't care to yeah, no, no, brah.

1073
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: And I absolutely feel so much more confident with my

1074
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: like natural boobs.

1075
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: And also like I was gonna say something else but

1076
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: I can't remember. But another thing is like each to

1077
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: their own, and you know, I feel like that's a

1078
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: huge thing too. Yeah, And I feel like back in

1079
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: the day, it was way more popular to go and

1080
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: get breast in plants. Everyone was getting them like big

1081
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: round boltons and kinds of things. But I feel like

1082
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: now like obviously each to their own. Some people love

1083
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: the look of fake boobs, but for me personally, and

1084
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm seeing a trend now. I feel

1085
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 1: like the big round, fake looking boobs. Not that mine

1086
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: were that or nor were yours, but I feel like

1087
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: that is really becoming quite outdated now. And what I'm

1088
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: seeing now is people actually loving the look of small boobs.

1089
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: And but I see myself now in photos, I'm like,

1090
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: I look so good even though my chest looks completely flat, Like,

1091
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 1: I freaking love it. So I'm really glad for me.

1092
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 2: This is a huge lesson too, in regards to beauty

1093
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 2: standards and beauty idea. It's always changing, Yes, moving forward.

1094
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: Like I've said to myself before, you want to change

1095
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: something about yourself, like you really need to, Like is

1096
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 2: this just a current beauty standard that's exactly you know,

1097
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: pressured to be in because there is, it's a trend.

1098
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 2: Things changed, like and I think honestly, when you're being

1099
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 2: such your authentic self and you're embracing everything that you

1100
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 2: know you're born with your natural body, nothing like nothing

1101
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 2: is sexier, nothing is, Like I totally agree, and isn't

1102
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 2: it my person?

1103
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: Yes? I agree? And isn't it so sad that, like,

1104
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, as women were kind of brought up thinking,

1105
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, if you have a flat chest, you're not

1106
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: a woman, you're not a woman, you're not sexy. You

1107
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: don't like that is so fucked up and it's so

1108
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: messed up. It's so sad because I know so many

1109
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: girls that feel that way, and to me, that just

1110
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: is really sad. But unfortunately that's just the way society is.

1111
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 1: Another thing that I was going to say before, when

1112
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: I did tell everyone about getting them out, I was

1113
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: also surprised, like because I was expecting an influx of

1114
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: people being like what the fuck, Like I don't know

1115
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: why I thought that, because my audience has grown up

1116
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 1: with me kind of things, So I don't know why.

1117
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: I guess I always have a little bit of doubt

1118
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: in my mind. But I was really surprised by how

1119
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 1: many girls actually said that they feel the exact same

1120
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: about their implants. Yes, I couldn't believe it. I did

1121
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: not expect one person to write back saying I know

1122
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: exactly what you mean and I feel the same. But

1123
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: I even had girls ask like, where did you go

1124
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: to get yours out? I've been wanting to get mine out?

1125
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: Or like I totally relate, and people saying like, you know,

1126
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: I want to get them out and I just can't

1127
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: afford it now, and I hate myself for getting it.

1128
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: So I feel like people feeling the way that I

1129
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: felt about my implants, you know, not being health related

1130
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: but just more of an aesthetics sort of thing is

1131
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot more common than we think, but people are

1132
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: too scared to speak up about it and admit that

1133
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: they have made a decision that they now regret kind

1134
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: of thing once again, Just like like we need to

1135
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: normalize changing our minds on things like that, because, yeah,

1136
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: the amount of messages that I got of girls saying

1137
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: far out like I want to do the same. I

1138
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I was not expecting any any messages

1139
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: like that, because I really did feel alone in that sense,

1140
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: because you know, I was like, I've gone and got

1141
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: these implants and told everyone, and now I don't like them,

1142
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: and now I feel guilty and ashamed, you know, But

1143
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: it's more common than we think.

1144
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 2: A hundred percent. And that's why, you know, I really

1145
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: wanted to chat about it today because we both got

1146
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: our implants out for different reasons, but feeling the same

1147
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 2: way post.

1148
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh one, Like I've walked out of there and I

1149
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: felt great.

1150
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 2: Me too, Oh my god. It was insane, Like I

1151
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 2: remember Tim looking at me a couple of days later

1152
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 2: and he's like, holy fuck, babe, like you just like

1153
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: my eyes were clearer, like I had so much inflammation

1154
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 2: in my body, like it was insane. And then just

1155
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 2: even mentally like yeah, how I felt. I was like, fuck,

1156
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 2: I feel awesome?

1157
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: How good? I literally walked out obviously was still like

1158
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: on drugs, but I walked out like, oh I felt great,

1159
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: and it was like slowed down, like I'm like skipping

1160
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: through the car park.

1161
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I feel so funny.

1162
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: He's like, it's probably all the painkillers that you're on,

1163
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: But are.

1164
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Brent. So to finish off the podcast, and honestly,

1165
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 2: I feel like we could just chat forever, I know,

1166
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 2: But to finish off the podcast, I would love for

1167
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: you to tell us what's next for you. I'm sure

1168
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 2: you have, you know, so much going on, and you know,

1169
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: we're all going to keep up with your business and

1170
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 2: everything like that. But for you personally, what are you

1171
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: focusing on this year? What's next for you?

1172
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Is it bad? The only thing I'm really focusing on

1173
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: is work.

1174
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: No, No, it's not bad. We love that. We love

1175
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 2: that here on this podcast.

1176
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Well yeah, literally just work and a little bit more work. No.

1177
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: So we launched our activewear brand just like at the

1178
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: very end of November last year, and then we that

1179
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: was like our first launch, and then we didn't want

1180
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: to launch anything just before Christmas kind of thing because

1181
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: it was too quick of a turnaround. So we've only

1182
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: had the one launch with our active wear brands. So

1183
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: next week we're getting the ball rolling. We've got our

1184
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: second collection launching. It's a little delayed. I did plan

1185
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: for it to be like January February. So I'm really

1186
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: excited to see where that brand takes us because it's

1187
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: it's a baby, it's a new brand, you know. I've

1188
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: got the other two which are really quite prominent now

1189
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: in where they're at, Whereas it's really exciting starting a

1190
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: brand from scratch. You know. We've got a few followers

1191
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: now and I'm excited to see where it goes. And

1192
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: other than that, another thing that I'm really excited to

1193
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: be working on this year is we've created like a

1194
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: sub brand off of Fate, so we're stepping into doing

1195
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: more like of a premium range, and we've called it

1196
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: Fate Refined and it's like evening Where specifically, so think like,

1197
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, go into engagement parties, birthdays, bridal parties, like

1198
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: a luxe range. So it's still under the Fate brand,

1199
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: but it's kind of like a little sub brand of

1200
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: its own. So we're going to launch that either this

1201
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,439
Speaker 1: month or next. We've just got to arrange our photo shoot,

1202
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: and I feel like that is going to be a

1203
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: really exciting little venture in itself because I feel like

1204
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: it is quite hard for women to find evening Where

1205
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: at an affordable price point, especially if they are you know,

1206
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: in a size fourteen, sixteen, eighteen twenty kind of thing.

1207
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Like I feel like there's some specialty stores out there

1208
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: that might do you know your curve or extended size range.

1209
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: But I'm really excited because straight off the bat with

1210
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: the Fate Refined, we're going to be doing amazing styles

1211
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: in sizes six through through to twenty like we do

1212
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: for all the other brands. So I feel like I've

1213
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: got a real advantage point there. And just from what

1214
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 1: I've shared on my own Instagram stories and stuff, like

1215
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: people seem really excited. I've had women emailing us, like

1216
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: We've had so many emails like, hey, my wedding's in March, like,

1217
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, are you going to have the dresses? I

1218
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: need them for my bridesmaids. And we've had a few

1219
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: bridal boutiques reach out to us, So there's going to

1220
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: be an opportunity there for us to like be stocked

1221
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: in different boutiques and so that's just something else I'm

1222
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: really excited for. But other than that, this year so

1223
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: work and more work.

1224
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 2: I love it. You're so passionate about what you do

1225
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 2: and it shows and oh yeah, community do what I

1226
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: can feel that.

1227
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I do what I do honestly, Like

1228
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,040
