1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Get a. I'm Lola Berry, nutritionist, author, actor, TV presenter, 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: and professional oversharer. This podcast is all about celebrating failure 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: because I believe it's a chance for us to learn, 4 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: grow and face our blind spots. Each week, I'll interview 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: a different guest about their highs as well as their lows, 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: all in a bid to inspire us to fearlessly fail. Hello, Gangles. 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: This is a long form episode, but it is an honest, 8 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: real chat about why I'm back in La, what's going 9 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: on in La, and where things are at. I do 10 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: a diary episode every Friday from where I am in 11 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: the world, and I usually give a quick kind of 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: like I don't know, fifteen twenty minute taste of what's 13 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: gone on in the week that was in LA. But 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: I thought I would share a little bit more of 15 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: an update on career, what's going on, what's working, what's not. 16 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: And my goal is that this episode inspires you to 17 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: do your own check in with where you're at in 18 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: your goals and passions and per person all of that 19 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: in your life. That's the goal of this. So I 20 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: have got about four posters of Butcher's paper in front 21 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: of me with notes all over them around this podcast episode. 22 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: So my hope is that you can do a bit 23 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: of what I've done. I'm just getting my notebook that 24 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: has a special notes for today on it. I'm sitting 25 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: here on the floor of my apartment in my pj's 26 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: loll It's morning. Don't worry. I've had my morning coffee 27 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: and with all these notes in front of me, and 28 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: I've got a calendar on one side, I've got a 29 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: diary on the other, and I've got all his butcher's 30 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: paper and highlighters and sharpies and pens and stuff. So 31 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: I wanted to be really transparent about what I'm doing 32 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: here in La, what's changed in the time that we've 33 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: been here, and what the goals are being here. So 34 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: first of all, I'll say that elephant in the room, 35 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: I'm here on my own. Boss is not here. Do 36 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: not worry. We have not broken up. We are not 37 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: on the rocks, none of that. He just has work 38 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,839 Speaker 1: opportunities in Australia that he needs to physically be there 39 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: for right now. So we're hoping that that doesn't last 40 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: too long. And we get well, we want his work 41 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: to last for long, but we're really hoping that within 42 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: the next month or so, we're reunited and back together 43 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: and he'll be with me here in La. But it's 44 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: also been a really beautiful gift in a weird kind 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: of way, because I got back to LA and I 46 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: had about a week to prepare for a pilot. But 47 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: in all honesty, it was my first acting job, like 48 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: real acting job, and so I got to be really 49 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: selfish for that week. I got to prioritize my health. 50 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: I got to which Matt and I are always healthy, 51 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: but I really got to like get over the jet 52 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: lag and get into yoga and then do all the 53 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: things you want to do before you shoot, like you know, brows, hair, 54 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: feeling good, all of those kind of things. And Matt's like, 55 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: I think that this is was meant to be. You know, 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: I think you were meant to do this, your first 57 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: acting gig on your own. And it's like there is 58 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: a part of you that is a bit of a 59 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: lone wolf that and you know, I've got a dear 60 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: friend of mine. Jad. He calls me a shark, and 61 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: shark's are reasonably solitary as well, but he calls me 62 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: a shark because if I stopped moving, I would die. 63 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: And I am a bit of that. I'm going to 64 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: be real with you. But this time on my own 65 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: in LA that was unexpected has given me a really 66 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: big chance to kind of like take stock and a 67 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: few things have come up that are really exciting that 68 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: have really forced me to be like, Okay, what's working here, 69 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: what hasn't worked and kind of like course correct. So 70 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: there's this awesome kid I interviewed on the Potter Rooney. 71 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: His name is Noah Hunter Dorsy. I'm saying that I'm 72 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: sure I do. Anyway, I follow him on Instagra and 73 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: he's like, he doesn't know this. Noah, if you ever 74 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: hear this, you're literally my inspo, like like a twenty 75 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: seven year old mentor. And I've interviewed him on the pod. 76 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: It's not out yet, but he posts really inspiring stuff. Anyway. Yeah, 77 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: I did say his name right, no Hunter Dorsy, And 78 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: his episode will probably drop in a couple of weeks 79 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: here on a Monday episode, and I I watched an episode. 80 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: First of all, he taught me something when I interviewed him, 81 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: which is success, love speed. And I'd learned that from 82 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: interviewing other actors when they would say you need to 83 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: learn to ride the momentum because when the opportunity does 84 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: come your way, which inevitably will will do, some people 85 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: then let the momentum of that slip through their hands. 86 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that makes total sense with 87 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: success loving speed, like you can kind of roll off 88 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: one thing and then into another. And so that's kind 89 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: of stuck with me since I did that interview. But 90 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: this morning I watched one of his YouTube blogs and 91 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: he said, and it really is a goody. So he said, 92 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: we often overestimate what we can achieve in a month, 93 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: but we often underestimate what we can achieve in a year. 94 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: So you often overestimate what you can do in a month, 95 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: but you often underestimate what you can do in a year. 96 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: And I thought, well, holy Mac, it's been a year 97 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: in LA. What a great time to take stock on 98 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: what worked or what didn't work? What were the highlights, 99 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: what were the low lights? Have I moved forward? Have 100 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: I stayed stagnant? What's going on? So I've taken stock, 101 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: and I took stock as soon as I got back 102 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: from Australia as well, because we crammed so much into 103 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: that Australian trip. We're just in Australia for about a month, 104 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: and I figured out in the month we were in Australia, 105 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: we stayed in ten different locations, and I was like, Okay, 106 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: some of this trip's working and some of it's not. 107 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: And I went through the highlight list of what really 108 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: worked and what we loved, and I went through the 109 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: stuff that didn't work, and there was a really clear 110 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: connection with me like still wanting to people please and 111 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: not having boundaries in place. And so coming back to 112 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: LA with that fresh self awareness, I'm kind of like, Okay, well, 113 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: I am here to make shit happen. I'm not here, 114 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: as we say in Australia, I'm not here to fuck spiders. 115 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: And so that's why this episode exists. So I've literally 116 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I've looken, I've looked back, and I've looked at a 117 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: year in LA because I've just resigned our twelve monthly 118 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: so we're here where we're in LA, but having resigned 119 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: it and it kicks off literally tomorrow or something like 120 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: it literally in the next forty eight hours, the new lease. 121 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: And so what I'm trying to say is I've done 122 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: a little then and now now, just so that if 123 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: you have a goal or a passion or a dream. 124 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: Well rather than kind of be like shifts. It's been 125 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: three months going at this thing and nothing's happened, which 126 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: is exactly what I did last year. I invite you 127 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: to do the knower thing, which is looked back over 128 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: a year. So we're going to start with the thens. 129 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: So a year ago in La Boss and I had 130 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: just got here. We were staying with mates. It totally 131 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: turns our and we got kicked out within it like. 132 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: It all happened very very quick, and we had nowhere 133 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: to go, and because the day we got kicked out, 134 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: it was too late to book an airbnb. Like it 135 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: was really like literally a quick thing, and friends took 136 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: us in. Beautiful friends took us in, but very like yep, 137 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: come stay like very just like helped us out right. 138 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: So that was a year ago. Pretty much today, I 139 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: was self submitting on all the online casting websites here. 140 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: I had no representation here other than I had a 141 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: I just signed with a commercial and voiceover agent, so 142 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: commercial voiceover, happy days. No theatrical reps, so no one 143 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: putting me forward for television or film, which is a 144 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: big hurdle in America because unless you can get in 145 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: the room. It doesn't matter if you're the best actor 146 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: in the world, you're still not gonna the opportunity because 147 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: you're not getting in the room. So I was self submitting. 148 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: I was auditioning to become a yoga teacher. Like I 149 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 1: was rocking around to yoga studios all over LA and 150 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: they make your audition Like to have a paying US 151 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: dollar job is such a big deal in LA because 152 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: it's so expensive to live here and it's not an 153 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: easy city city to live in. I'm not going to 154 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: sugarcoat it. Some days it's amazing and unreal and mind 155 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: blowing and other days it's effing brutal and you're like, 156 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: what am I doing? So I was literally auditioning to 157 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: become a yoga teacher. I finally, after five auditions, I 158 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: got booked at a yoga studio and the director that 159 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: I auditioned for, the director of the yoga stuo, was like, 160 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: can you teach tomorrow? So that happened pretty quick. That 161 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: happened within about a month or so of being here. 162 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: But that's where it was at. And I was meeting 163 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: with manager to help me with more that like acting stuff, 164 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: and I was just getting I was meeting with managers, publicists, 165 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: like all different kinds of people, but I got really 166 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: close to what I thought was signing with a manager. 167 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: There's probably two situations where I felt like I got 168 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: close with signing with representation as an actor, and it 169 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: kind of just dragged on for a few months and 170 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: then they were like, actually, no, you're not a comedian, 171 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: We're not going to sign you. And I'm like, well, 172 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: F and L, you knew that straight out of the gate. 173 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: I was pretty honest that, like, I love I love 174 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: the concept of being in a drama or a sitcom, 175 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: but I'm by no means a stand up comedian or 176 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: an improv artist. So I felt like I got put 177 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: round the ringer and stuffed around it and if I'm honest, 178 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: now let's cut to now right. And so a year, 179 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: one full year has passed of being here. I've done 180 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: two morning TV two different morning TV shows here in America, 181 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: one in Florida, one here in LA doing nutrition and 182 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: health segments like what I've done for a big chunk 183 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: of my career in Australia. I just finished filming the pilot. 184 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: It was so much fun and it was a dark 185 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: comedy and I got to keep my Aussie accent. How 186 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: kill and I was so nervous, but I said this 187 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: to Boss. I was happy at how I was able 188 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: to self regulate whilst doing the thing I love whilst 189 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: being really nervous, Like the stakes felt so high for me. 190 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: So now I'm like, oh, well, I just need to 191 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: do more of that. I need to be on set 192 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: more and more and more. Like the more exposure therapy, 193 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: the more that I'm going to be able to mitigate 194 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: these nerves and remember nerves. My therapist stom me, nerves 195 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: is also excitement, like it manifests the same way in 196 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: the body. I'm in a great acting school. I'm learning, 197 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,479 Speaker 1: I'm building on my craft. I'm working on it. I 198 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: have just it's probably premature to share this, but you know, 199 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm and overshare. I have just had a meeting with 200 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: a really amazing acting agent. I haven't signed or anything yet, 201 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: but we've had that first meeting, so that's already in 202 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: a better place than when it was a year ago. 203 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: And then I've kind of taken my creativity into my 204 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: own hands with the pod. This pod is my baby. 205 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: I love it like it wouldn't even exist if it 206 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: wasn't for you listening to it right now. So first 207 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: of all, thank you, because it literally lights up my world. 208 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: I am flipping obsessed with podcasting. I love it. I 209 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: love it, I love it. I'm now teaching myself to 210 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: do all the video editing, so I've got cap cart. 211 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: I am editing all the videos myself. Boss you steal 212 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: a lot of my audiogram editing, but because his workload 213 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: is so big in Australia, I was like, I got 214 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: to I've got to teach myself this skill. And on 215 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: top of that, I've started writing on substack, which is 216 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: like a free blog I would say website for and 217 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: it's been so much fun. I haven't promoted it heavily. 218 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: I think I've got something like fifty subscribers. I made 219 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: mind totally free, so it's not monetized at all. It's 220 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: just free. And I just do either diary entries or 221 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,239 Speaker 1: recipes because obviously I've got them coming out of the wazoo. 222 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: And I just do a bit of like foody and 223 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: travel guides because you know, made a little bit of 224 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: a travel bunny. Love it and it's so much fun, 225 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: it's so rewarding. So I try to do a couple 226 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: of sub stacks a week. I'm obsessed with podcasting, and 227 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: I'm now also cutting my own content for not only 228 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: audiograms on Insta or TikTok, but also YouTube. I'm like, 229 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing the thing that I love. I'm staying creative 230 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: when I'm not filming, whether it be a morning TV 231 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: show or a pilot, and I'm actively finding the representation 232 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: of people that genuinely believe in me and believe that 233 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: I can act, and believe that I've got a career 234 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: in acting. And I'm building those relationships so that I 235 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: can bring that into a reality and literally just let 236 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: it unfold, as opposed to like chasing it like a 237 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: dog with a bone, which is how I spent a 238 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: large part of last year. I remember I used to 239 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: always say to Boss, and I used to always say 240 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: to my beautiful friend Beck, I just need to win. 241 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: I just need to win. I just need to win. 242 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: And can you hear that? Like? Mindset already negative? And 243 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: that was me all last year, or at least eight 244 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: months of last year. It started to change for me 245 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: in December, like November. December more December than November. But 246 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: I remember where I was when I booked Morning TV 247 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: in La. It was November. It was the middle of November. 248 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: I was in Joshua Trere with Matt and Dad and 249 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: I'd just gone to this hippie medicinal shop and they'd 250 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: made me a heart opening late with like blue lotus 251 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: flour or something, and it had, like I've told you 252 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: guys about it on the diary before, it had like 253 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: Loopez Lopez Crystal Lapouli Lopezi. It's a beautiful blue crystal 254 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: essence in it. And as I was drinking this latte, 255 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: as we were driving out of the cafe, like we 256 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: leaving the cafe and driving back to our house in 257 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: Joshua Tree or our Airbnb, and I booked the gig 258 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: and just so you know, to give you context, that 259 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: was the start of November. I then did that segment 260 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: in the middle of January. That's the lead time. Same 261 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: with the pilot that got booked in December. We were 262 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: meant to shoot in January, but in the middle of 263 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: the fires, so it got pulled, and then we shot 264 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: in April. Just give you a timeline of things too, 265 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: because like things take longer than we expect in not 266 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: just this career, I think any career, and this brings 267 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: me back to the thing that Dinah shared today, which 268 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: is we overestimate what we can achieve in a month, 269 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: but we often underestimate what we can achieve in a year. 270 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: So if I look back over the year, holy shit, 271 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: I've filmed a pilot, I've done two massive US TV shows. 272 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: I've built like my substack from nothing, like I've just 273 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: gone about and done it. And the pod, my baby 274 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: is growing. The POD's numbers are growing significantly in the 275 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: past year. How cool. And so that's why I wanted 276 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: to talk to you. I wanted to talk to you 277 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: about like taking stock. And I know that in the 278 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: world of astrology right now, I know astrology isn't for everyone, 279 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: but I drink that kool aid my friends, like there 280 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: is no tomorrow and it's a time of like really 281 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: transforming and manifesting what you really want right now. And 282 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: so I in you after you hear this, I hope 283 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: that you look back at where you were a year ago, 284 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: take stock in where you are now, and then be like, 285 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: holy fuck, how exciting to think where I might be 286 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: in a year. I have a feeling I'm either going 287 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: to do a sitcom a drama dy which is drama, 288 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: DA comedy like a Ted Lasser, like as an ensemble 289 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: cast member, or procedural drama. Procedural drama is fascinating. I'm 290 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: not properly trained in it, so I'm thinking that's going 291 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: to be my next training. I need to learn procedural 292 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: drama because there's five different eye line points that you 293 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: need to be aware of. So procedural dramas are like 294 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: graysing out of Me nine to one one, Chicago Fire, 295 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: any of those medical shows you see, any of the 296 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: police shows, you see, detective shows, they're all what we 297 00:17:55,040 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: call procedural dramas. I love them. But if you are 298 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: in like a medical show, you've got these different five 299 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: eyelines that you need to be aware of whilst on 300 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: obviously saying your dialect is quite text heavy. I don't 301 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: know if you've noticed, and so sometimes you'll be looking 302 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: at who you're operating on, but then you've probably got 303 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: a nurse or two nurses and a head doctor there, 304 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: and then you've probably got the victim's significant other there, 305 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: and like, so you've got to be able to know 306 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: where your eyelines are. Alswels delivering also while pretending the 307 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: person in front of you has potentially got a life 308 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: threatening illness or something like that. Fascinating, how fun. So 309 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: it's cool to think like where we could all be 310 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: in a year's time. That's what gets me so so excited. 311 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: So to be really transparent with you, I'm here in 312 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: La going after the dream. But I'm really clear on it. Actor, 313 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: TV host, podcast host, and writer. I've always been a writer. 314 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: I'll be a writer till the day I die. I 315 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: think everybody has a book in them By the way, 316 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: that's just a sidebar, side note. And so so I 317 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: think if we can get clear on exactly where we are, 318 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: exactly how far we've come in the year. And if 319 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: you haven't started a dream until now, you're listening to 320 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: this and you're like, holy shit, I stuff it. I 321 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: just want to go after my dream. Don't worry about 322 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: what you can achieve in one month. Worry about like 323 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: what you can the mountains, you can move in a year. 324 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: That's what's exciting. Like I remember when we signed the 325 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: lease on this apartment, we could barely afford to pay there. 326 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: You've got to pay like a deposit thing in America. 327 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: And because I had no credit score in America, there's 328 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: at that's a whole other topic. You have to build 329 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: it from scratch. It doesn't they won't look at your 330 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: Australian credit score. We had to pay what's called a 331 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: double deposit, and this we live in a little humble, tiny, 332 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: very small studio apartment, and the deposit before we even 333 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: paid our first month's rent was ten thousand dollars and 334 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: we didn't have and so like Matt had to pull 335 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: money out of like shares, Like that's how scary the 336 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: first few months were here. And I just want to 337 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: be so transparent about it because it's not easy. It's 338 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: something it is hard, and it does take a grind, 339 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: and it does take a sense of like self belief 340 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: and not wanting regret and being like you know what, 341 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: like we're going to go hard at this thing. Like 342 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: we've done things that are hard so that we can 343 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: literally be here, like freezing embryos stuff like that, Like 344 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: that was a challenging thing and confronting thing to do, 345 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, we've done that hard thing. Like 346 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: even the visa process is hard. We've done that hard 347 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: thing and now we're here. And it was actually my 348 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: friend Beck that was like the fact that you're even 349 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: there giving it a riper crack. She's like, that's actually 350 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: a win. And I think if you're creative, you've got 351 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: find a way to stay creative and be creating something 352 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: even when you're not on a film set, even when 353 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: you're not on a TV set. And that's been the 354 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: game changer for me. The pod, The POD's my baby. 355 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: Oh love it. If I got signed to Gray's Anatomy 356 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: or some medical procedural drama tomorrow, this pod would go 357 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: like one hundred percent keep going. You'd still be getting 358 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: your three episodes a week, You'd still be getting your interviews. 359 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: I'd probably be interviewing the cast, the director, whatever, you know. Like, 360 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: the pod is something that is so a part of 361 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: me that I just see growing with me and just 362 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 1: hopefully inspiring you to like grab a hold of whatever 363 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: it is you want to achieve and just like go 364 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: the f after it. There is one thing I am 365 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: going to do now that I'm in LA and the 366 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: boss of Chenki isn't here with me right now, and 367 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: that is my one on one coaching that I haven't 368 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: done much of. So I'm offering it in three I 369 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: guess you would say Genres the Health and Nutrition stuff. 370 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: Of course, wellness coaching is easy, so usually I'll be 371 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: really transparent. You do one session and I either refer 372 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: you to a specialist, like if it's fertility, for example, 373 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 1: or refer you to a specialist after one SASH. If 374 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: it's more mental health stuff, I refer you to like 375 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: an amazing act therapist and counselor usually after a SASH. 376 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: So nutrition is one thing. I'm going to offer. Coaching 377 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: around creating your own pod is another, because pods are 378 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: a beast. They're amazing, but you've got to understand them. 379 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: In fact, we've got an episode coming out really soon 380 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: with Claire, who is my pod manager and also beautiful 381 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: human being, so sweet, so kind, I hope he is Claire, 382 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: and it's a podcasting episode around podcasting one oh one, 383 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: like what do we do that's right, what do we 384 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: do that's wrong, what works, what doesn't work. That's going 385 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: to come out in the next month. But I'm going 386 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: to offer one on one coaching for podcasting, and then 387 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: the other is to write a book. It's kind of 388 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: what I usually coach most people on how to write 389 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: a book, because it can feel really overwhelming at first. 390 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: You've just got to break it down. You've got to 391 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: know how to format a book. You've got to understand 392 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: your demographic, you've got to understand even the price point. 393 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: You've got to understand your audience and who you're writing for, 394 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: the tone, what's the takeaway all that kind of thing. 395 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: Is it fiction? Is it nonfiction? There's a lot to 396 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: think about when you're writing a book. But I think 397 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: having somebody to help you through that, or at least 398 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: help you in the beginning stages, is really awesome. Like 399 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: I'll give an example of someone I coach and I 400 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: know she won't mind me saying this. Her name is 401 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: Georgie Collinson. I had her on the pod about a 402 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: month ago, and I was in Australia when she launched 403 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: her second book. Her first book is called The Anxiety 404 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: Reset Method and her second book is called I Believe 405 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: It's called It's All About Relationships Anxiety at Managing Manage 406 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: your relationship anxiety. And I didn't coach her on the 407 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: second book at all. I coached on the first book 408 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: and she was already pretty ready. I'll be honest with you, 409 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: Like she sent me a twelve page pitch check and 410 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: I was like, well, you only need one page of 411 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: mate like she was that ready and I coached her. 412 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: I think we did three sessions together and then a 413 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: year later she asked for like one around like the 414 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: press and the publicity and we need a session then 415 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: and cut to a year after that, so two years 416 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: since the beginning of coaching. So I did introduce her 417 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: to a publisher and they jumped at the chance. And 418 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: she's now got two books out. One of them has 419 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: been featured in Oprah's Book Club, and I am seed 420 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: her book launch in Bayron Bay like three weeks ago 421 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: or something, and I just think having a little bit 422 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: of guidance around how to da book and stuff is 423 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: something that is so cool and one of my passions. 424 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: This is why the pod exists is I love helping 425 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: people bring their passion to life. That's why I get 426 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: so excited when I interview people or I get I 427 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: got emotional. Last night, I was watching clips from Stage 428 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: Coach and I was watching Munford and Sons and they 429 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: did a surprise gig surprise show at Stage Coach, and 430 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: Stage Coaches always happens the week after Coachella, and it's 431 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: more country music vibes, more my vibe I feel anyway, 432 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: side note was like Lana del Rey, Mumford and sons, 433 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: Zach Bryant, you know what I mean, great lineup. Anyway, 434 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: I was watching these clips of Marcus Mumford singing, well, 435 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: it's the whole band, but everyone's feeling Mark s Mumford 436 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: and it's him singing little line man and I will wait, 437 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: and I was like literally crying, good crying, just seeing 438 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: that somebody lived their true passion. And that's my whole stick, 439 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: Like I want to champion people living their true passion, 440 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: and that is why this pod exists. That's why I 441 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: sit down with people and really try to understand their 442 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: passion and what worked and what didn't work, and what 443 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: were their setbacks, what were the hurdles, how did you 444 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: overcome them? So that's why the pod exists.

And so I'm going to end on that quote. 492 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm now obsessed with we overestimate what we can achieve 493 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: in a month. We often underestimate what we can achieve 494 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: in a year. So effing lock into that dream. Write 495 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: down the date that you listen to this, or that 496 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: you listen to this, and go out and get the 497 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: butcher's paper or a journal or notepad right down the 498 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: day and check in one year later on how much 499 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: you can achieve. But like it does mean, day after 500 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: day you do things that get you closer towards that dream, 501 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: and you have to be disappointed with that. But you 502 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: also have to stay curious. If a new opportunity comes 503 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: that you're like, oh, I didn't really see that opportunity, 504 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: and that's now kind of leading me down this path, 505 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You've got to stay open 506 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: and curious at the same time. Anyway, there's my pearls 507 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: of wisdom for you. If you listen to this on 508 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: a Monday morning, on a Monday morning, if you listen 509 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: to this on Wednesday, eleven pm at night, will so 510 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: be it? You do? You boo? All right? My friends, 511 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: Meg Love, I hope this inspired something. My goal is 512 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: that it kind of evoked a little spark or if 513 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: we've got that little pilot light in your chest that 514 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: it just like you know, like gave it a little 515 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: bit of like you know, bear like it's feeding the 516 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: flicker of the flame in your chest. Go leave that 517 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: passion and every day just put in a little bit 518 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: more to get a little pinch closer, tiny bit closer, 519 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: tiny bit closer to the passion, and then look back 520 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: a year later and look at what you've achieved. That's 521 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. That's where the magic is 522 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: and that's exciting.
