It was lovely. I was 23 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: also quite exhausted because I had a huge work week, 24 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: obviously in the NH warehouse recording this. Pody and I 25 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: also had a very exciting photo shoot. I did some 26 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: stories a little sneak peek. I can't tell you exactly 27 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: what that project is actually, I think I can tell 28 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: you next week. Oh my god, I'm so excited. So 29 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: I tell you guys about that next week. But it 30 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: went really well. It was just really funny because before 31 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: I got there, I was actually chatting to my EA Ellie, 32 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: and I was so nervous. And it's like I've done 33 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: photo shoots a lot, like I've been there, done that, 34 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: it's not something new, and I was I was so nervous, 35 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: and I had all these kind of thoughts running through 36 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: my head of just like, you know, who am I 37 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: to do this? You know, I'm six months postpartum, like oh, 38 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, worried about what I was gonna look like. 39 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: And then like, you know, all these people are here 40 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: for me, and I just I don't know. I had. 41 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: I had a bit of like a moment where I 42 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: was just like encompassed in Yeah, who am I to 43 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: do this? In postera syndrome? And I really had to 44 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: like put on a good song, pet myself up and 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: be like I'm an ordinary person doing extraor ordinary things. 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: And I had to give myself that pep talk. And 47 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch on it today because I think, 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: no matter how many times you get out of your 49 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: comfort zone, it's still the same feeling of just being 50 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. But like I say to you guys all 51 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: the time, that is where the magic happens. That is 52 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: where the good shit happens. And I know that getting 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: out of my comfort zone just leads to so many 54 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: good things. So put my hype music on, I got 55 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: on the zone, and I just had the best day. 56 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm body excited. I hopefully get to tell 57 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: you guys about that. But guys, this episode is a goodie. 58 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: I hope you love it. Let's get straight into it, 59 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: all right, guys, today we are chatting expanders. This is 60 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: a term I coined, didn't coin this term, but I 61 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: feel like I haven't really heard anyone talk about it. 62 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: To be honest, I hadn't heard anyone talk about it 63 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: when you brought it up. But I knew the concept 64 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: but not the term expander. But then in the past 65 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: week I've seen it a few places. 66 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: That's so weird. I think the actual words expander is 67 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: something I made up. Yeah, but then the actually what 68 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: we're talking about is like not a common thing. But 69 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: it's like, it's not the idea. Yeah exactly, let's just 70 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: go where I coined it. 71 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: When your Google expanded, it comes up with braces. So really, 72 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: oh my god, I didn't even know this term. 73 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: It's because I just go off simple words as well. 74 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: So in the project I would have been like, use 75 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: this as your expander, and then I'm like, this is 76 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Expanders's that's how the term came to me, if that 77 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: makes sense. So guys, today we are chatting expanders and 78 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: if you don't know what that term means. So basically 79 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: this has come about from my teachings in my seven 80 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: week manifesting and self development cause the project. So in 81 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: the project, I teach you my manifesting formula, and you know, 82 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: we go through everything. This is not a part of 83 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: the formula. This is like a manifestation hack that I 84 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: will teach people as a way of basically how to 85 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: get around a block they have with what they want 86 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: to manifest. So, you know, in the course, a big 87 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: thing I say to them is like, you have to 88 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: dream big and you have to listen to your heart. 89 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: So I call them like heart desires, Like you can't 90 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: get it wrong if it's on your heart and you're 91 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: following your intuition, even if it doesn't make a lot 92 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: of sense, but it was put on your heart for reason. 93 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: And then so people come back to me and they'll 94 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: be like, you know, I on my heart, I've got 95 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: this huge dream, but it doesn't make sense, and also 96 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: like who am I to do this? But what I 97 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: would then say to them is, well, you need to 98 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: find your expander. So for example, they might be like, 99 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, I, let's just use me as an example. 100 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: So you know, I've created two seven figure companies before 101 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: I was thirty. That was my big goal of wanting 102 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: to build a business, not just be an influencer, but 103 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: also this huge thing of I wanted my businesses to 104 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: be purposeful. I wanted to have you know, fun every day, 105 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: and you know, I've got various goals anyway, So lots 106 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: of people will be like, you know, my goals are similar, 107 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: but how can I do what you've done? I don't 108 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: have a following, or I don't have a brother, or 109 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: I don't have a Cooper, I don't have a Cooper, 110 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: And they will often get hung up on the Oh, 111 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: but you know you can do that because of this 112 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: and that, and then so my response to them is, yes, 113 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: that is a fact about me. But also I guarantee 114 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: you I could find someone who has done exactly what 115 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: I've done without a following, without a Cooper, et cetera, 116 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: et cetera. So previously, when I have a huge goal, 117 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: and I almost because to manifest a goal, you need 118 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: to believe you can do it. Otherwise there's no way 119 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: you're going to attract this thing in because that's just 120 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: not like how the universe works, because like attracts like. So, 121 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: if you don't believe something's going to happen, look it's not. 122 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: It's not. So what I kind of explain to people 123 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: is like, you need to believe it, and if you 124 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: can't believe it, a great way to start believing it 125 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: is like surrounding yourself with people who have done the 126 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: things you want to do. And you know, the whole 127 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: thing of you know, the five people you surround yourself with. 128 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: Love that is like you're the average of the five 129 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: per people you spend the most amount of time with. 130 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Yes, and so many people like holy shit, because you know, 131 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: maybe they don't spend their time with the right people. 132 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: And then also a big thing comes about of you know, 133 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: well how do I find people you know, who I 134 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: want to hang around with? And my example is always 135 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: will go buy their books, listen to their podcast, research them. 136 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: You don't have to be best friends. But for example, 137 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: what I used to do on the bus when I 138 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: was going to my law job is I used to 139 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: listen to podcasts. So technically every single day I'm surrounding 140 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: myself with people who like I wanted to be. It 141 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: was just before and after work. It wasn't during work, 142 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: if that means. 143 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,359 Speaker 2: And even if they weren't physically there, like their influence 144 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: was on you for X amount of hours of the day. 145 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: Yes. Huge. So to the point, expanders is basically a 146 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: manifestation hack, so you can believe in your goal and 147 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: your manifestation. So we thought it would be a bit 148 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: of fun today for me and a tea to come 149 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: to you guys with some stories, well they're not stories 150 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: because feral facts. Some a minor stories though, because a 151 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: big thing too is expanders don't always have to be people. 152 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: They can be movies, they can be books. Basically they 153 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: are a person or a thing that expands you to 154 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: believe in yourself. I didn't think about it like that. 155 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: I doubt people. No, Yeah, And that's why I truly 156 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: believe in the concept of like who the five people 157 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: surround your the average of the five people you surround 158 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: yourself with, But not so much that because to be 159 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: completely honest, like a lot of my five people, like 160 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: who knows that amount of people? No, But like my 161 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: close friends, group and family, isn't necessarily people who are 162 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: doing the same things to me or people I inspire 163 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: to be. They're like just friends I want to surround 164 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: myself with. And then people I inspire to be is 165 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: books and podcasts and movies for me. 166 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: Yes, And it's like it just comes down to like 167 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: how important it is to choose the content you consume 168 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: carefully because it has an impact on. 169 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: You huge And I think also once it's so it's 170 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: the premise of the four minute mile. Have you heard 171 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: about this? Stia, I haven't. Oh my god, So I'm 172 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: gonna butcher this. I do it every time I saw 173 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: I've said it on this podcast. Actually I said on 174 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: Rachel Dyllon's podcast, and I butchered it. So basically, the 175 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: premise of the four minute mile is I believe it. 176 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: It's like in America or something in the seventies, no 177 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: one could run a mile in under four minutes, like 178 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: just no one could do it. And then so what 179 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: happened is one guy did it, and then no joke, 180 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: after the world found out this one guy did it, 181 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: like hundreds of people started doing it. So like that's 182 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: such like a feel a cool thing of they thought 183 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: it was impossible, and then one person did it, and 184 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: then everyone was like, oh easy, I can do it too, 185 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: and then people started, like hundreds of people started breaking 186 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: this record, and that's such amazing. Isn't that such a 187 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: testament to you know what we're talking about? So literally, 188 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: for example, if you have big goals, or even not 189 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: big goals, if you've just got goals and you're struggling 190 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: to believe in yourself, a huge thing that I have 191 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: done is surround myself with inspiring people or inspiring content 192 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: to then make me believe it, and then you you 193 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: bet I've gone and done it. That's awesome. So I've 194 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: got about four or five stories. A Tear has got some. 195 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: My stories are more like in my personal journey, and 196 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: then A Tear has got some great just like huge one, 197 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: huge one. She told me about them. I was like, what. 198 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: So we thought it would be a fun episode to 199 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: get your brains thinking about expanders. Tell you some inspiring stories, 200 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: and then your homework for this week is, after this episode, 201 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: think of what your huge goal is, think of what 202 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: the block is, and then go and find either a 203 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: person or a piece of content that tells you that 204 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: you can achieve that goal. I love it, love Okay. Also, 205 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: you know this is the whole concept of our new 206 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: mancha that you know, we're just ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Yes, 207 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: so what you're about to hear is just ordinary people 208 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: doing extraordinary things. And guys, this is such a huge 209 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: thing in manifesting too. This is such like a great 210 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: manifesting hack and also just a very quick plug. I've 211 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: kind of teas this in previous episodes, but the project 212 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: is coming back for one Yes, so the project is 213 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: coming back for one live round this year. I honestly 214 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: just like don't have a lot of time this year 215 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: between exciting projects and IVY, but I did promise you guys, 216 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: and so we are excited it's coming back. It looks 217 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: like it's going to be a July start date, but 218 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: more to come. And yeah, I don't know. I'm now 219 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: that we have gone back into the podcast and I've 220 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: started talking about manifesting, like I so to do it again. 221 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: I live for this shit. And then oh my god, 222 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: just like the transformations that come out of the project 223 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: is just it lights me out. So anyway, let's get 224 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: into it. I'm going to start sounds good and this 225 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: is like, this is going to be funny. But these 226 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: were my expanders when I was in high school, when 227 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know expanders were a thing or what was 228 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: even happening, or I didn't realize I was manifesting things. 229 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: So these were my expanders that made me believe I 230 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: could do my law degree. So I went to a 231 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: public school. No one in my family has gone to university. 232 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: You know. 233 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: My three older brothers were plumbers, my dad was a palmer. 234 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: No one I really knew was going to university. Wow. Yeah. 235 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: Out of my friend group, I don't think anyone went. 236 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: And so I had this dream that I was like, 237 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: I want to do something like prestigious, Like I wanted 238 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: to be like a lawyer or doctor or you know, 239 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: something like that that like my parents could be proud 240 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: of me for doing it. It was very much that 241 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: vibe and I had done legal studies at school and 242 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: really enjoyed it, but I had this weird block about it. 243 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't be a lawyer. Lawyers are boring. 244 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Lawyers are boring, and also just didn't think I was 245 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: smart enough, even though at that point in like my 246 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: legal studies subject, I was getting like a pluses. I 247 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: was doing well, it's cute, dear, heypusses, I know why 248 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: we see this, So no joke. I watched Legally Blonde 249 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: was obsessed with Reese with Esperion, and after watching that movie, 250 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I could be a lawyer. 251 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: It's so fun you get to work cut out bits. No, 252 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: but it was more about she could have because I 253 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: was very much that girl. I loved fashion. You can 254 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: tell by the person I am, what sort of person 255 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: I am, and I like, yeah, I just love that 256 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: she could do both. Yeah, And it was the first 257 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: time that I kind of was opened up to that idea. 258 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: So then at the same time, my oldest brother had 259 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: a girlfriend who just got accepted into law at university 260 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: and she very much like came from a very low 261 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: socio economic background and you know, really had to put 262 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: She would not call her off naturally smart, she had 263 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: to really put in the work. And then yeah, so 264 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: she got into law and was like really excited about it, 265 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: and like, both those things together were literally the reason 266 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: that I went into my law degree. That's amazing and 267 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: maybe not yet, like not when it did it bit 268 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: believed that you could, that I was worthy enough to 269 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: go and do it. That's so cool. I love it. 270 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: Watch yours. 271 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to start with start with Serena and Venus 272 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: Williams love So have you watched King Richard? 273 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: Yes? 274 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, best movie ever, honestly, right, and I for them 275 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: For those of you who haven't seen the movie or 276 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: don't know, they had a very rough upbringing. They had 277 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: a lot of siblings, they were living in a very 278 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: low socioeconomic area in America at that point in time. 279 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: There was still a lot of racism and segregation and 280 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, and they were the youngest 281 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: out of their family, and their dad took them to 282 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: the tennis courts almost every day, rain, hail, sunshine, and 283 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: they would train every single day. And this was never verified, 284 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 2: but it is a plot that's followed in the movie 285 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: that he wrote this plan for them before they were born, 286 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: that he was going to make them the Michael Jordan's 287 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 2: of tennis, and no one believed him. Everyone thought he 288 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: was crazy. And you'd all know now that he actually 289 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: did that because those girls worked so hard. And one 290 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 2: thing that really stuck with me, especially from that movie, 291 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: was he said we've got doctors, lawyers, and two tennis 292 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: stars in this house. And I was like, yeah, sure, 293 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 2: that's a line from the movie, not a line from 294 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 2: the movie. Their siblings are doctors, one's a lawyer. Like 295 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 2: incredibly successful family that just had very hard working parents 296 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: that taught them the right values and taught them that 297 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: they could do anything, and they have done everything. He 298 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 2: got them scholarships when people said, no, one's going to 299 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 2: pay for them to learn tennis. At that time, it 300 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: was obviously a sport that people who are very wealthy 301 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: could do because you. 302 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Had to pay a lot. 303 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: He found someone that moved his entire family, gave them 304 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: a house, food, electricity, paid for all their bills for 305 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: all these years because he wouldn't let the girls compete 306 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: to the point of finally letting the girls compete and 307 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: them smashing it and taking over the world. But for them, 308 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: like for me, that's such as. 309 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: Are MoPo And now you know the movie. 310 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, now you know the movie, but I highly recommend it. 311 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: It's a great watch. But that was a very eye 312 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 2: opening thing for me because I just assumed that they 313 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 2: were wealthy, yes, because I saw them from when I've 314 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 2: seen them. I saw them as being wealthy, and I 315 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: saw them as being super successful. And I was like, 316 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: there's no way that they came from nothing, and they 317 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 2: have literally come from nothing. And that's what I find 318 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 2: so inspiring because its huge. They were very young when 319 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: they did it too, like age was not an issue 320 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: for them. 321 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that and that, Yeah, can confirm that 322 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: is the best movie. And I think that's a huge 323 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: thing of a lot of people. When they're talking about 324 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: goals or you know, wanting to do things or inspiring people, 325 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: they're like yeah, but you know they came from a 326 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: wealthy family or you don't understand, like I had a 327 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: very rough upbringing, and it's like that can also be 328 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: true while you're still, you know, achieving things. 329 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't let don't let having a rough upbringing or 330 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: a rough childhood stop you from doing great things, because 331 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 2: usually that makes the things you do even better. 332 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: A great story love. Okay, So my next one, and 333 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: this is like a very specific one, but there is 334 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: an influencer who I used to follow called well still follow, 335 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: Amanda Boucci. At this time, I had just quit my 336 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: law job and I kind of didn't know what I 337 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: wanted to do. But I had quit my law job 338 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: and I was doing the influencing thing. But I had 339 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: this like huge thing that it's like I didn't want 340 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: to be an influencer. I wanted to be known as 341 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: more and do more. And it's almost like I had 342 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: this kind of chip on my shoulder that it's like 343 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: I wanted to transform my personal brand from not just 344 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: being a fitness influencer. And so a man Da Booty 345 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: at that time was also a fitness influencer who had 346 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: made a huge pivot into being a business entrepreneur and 347 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: I can't actually remember what she did, but I think 348 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: she did like courses or like that side of things, 349 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: and I actually did some coaching with her. Bit you know, 350 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: previous to that, she was someone in the space who 351 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: was a fitness and film flat, who was a fitness 352 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: influencer who pivoted and then was really established and well known, 353 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: and she was also only huge podcasts like Lewis Howe 354 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: and those ones, and she was well known to you know, 355 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: do this huge pivot. And so at that time it 356 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: was huge to me because that's what I wanted to do, 357 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: and I felt very stuck because I was like, oh, 358 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: but everyone's just going to think of me as an influencer. 359 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: They're not going to take me seriously. But then I 360 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: used her as well, look she has done it, and yeah, 361 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: she just did some like really cool things and completely 362 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: changed her personal brand. But it worked so well, and 363 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: so I again used her as a well she can 364 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: do it, I can do it too. Yeah, And it 365 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: was such a like huge you know, she was female, 366 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: she was a couple of years older than me, Like 367 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: I'm very like my expanders are usually me as a 368 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: person previous years, and that's what works well for me 369 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: was other people that doesn't matter too much. 370 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, like you can use well, I found even when 371 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: I was trying to research expand is the one that 372 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: the ones that initially came to my mind, they were 373 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: all female, they were all within the sort of industry 374 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: I wanted to go in. And then I was like, oh, 375 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: maybe you need to include some other stories. 376 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think like your expander, it really does 377 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: need to be someone you resonate with who has well, 378 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: that's the whole point is because you can see yourself 379 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: in them. 380 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 2: Exactly, and so there's no point like I obviously don't 381 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: want to be a tennis player and is inspiring as 382 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: Venus and Serena are that more just a reality check 383 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: for me when I'm feeling down about not being able 384 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: to do something huge. 385 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: And see that's also a great point a tear because 386 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: they don't have to be as specific as I'm talking. 387 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: They can just be almost like a motivational sort of one. 388 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: But also I do definitely encourage you to find like 389 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: very specific ones too, and that's it. Okay, who's your ex? One? 390 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: Another huge one and I actually didn't know this much 391 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 2: about her, but she bounced around before she ended up 392 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 2: where she did. But it's Sarah Blakely And for those 393 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 2: of you who don't know, she's the founder of Spanx. 394 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love her. 395 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: I've listened to how I built this with her. She's amazing, amazing. 396 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: And so she first of all her parents one was 397 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: an artist and the other one was a trial attorney. 398 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: So obviously nothing crazy entrepreneurial or anything like that. She 399 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: wasn't handed the reins to any business. And she has 400 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: one brother who also became an artist. And she actually 401 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: initially became an attorneity attorney. She became attorney an eternity. 402 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: She is forever. 403 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: So she became an attorney, and we'll. 404 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: Just say lawyer. 405 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, she was becoming a lawyer, and she scored very 406 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: low on an admission test. So she instead went and 407 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 2: worked at Disney World for three months and bounced around 408 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 2: as a stand up comedian in a few places and 409 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 2: really just experienced life. And then she started working at 410 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 2: a sales company and she sold fax machines daugh to 411 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: door and she became promoted to the national sales trainer 412 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: by the age of twenty five because she was that 413 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 2: good at selling these Fax machines. 414 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: Wow. 415 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: And from then she obviously had some body image issues 416 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: and that sort of stuff, and that's where spanks was born. 417 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 2: But she literally built this business from nothing. It says 418 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 2: here she spent five thousand dollars in savings and researching, 419 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 2: researching and developing the idea for spanks. 420 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: And I remember a story from how I built this 421 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: where she says when she got her first like kind 422 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: of break with I think it was Sacks. And basically 423 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: what she did is so SAS was like, yeah, we'll 424 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: pick up you know, your spanks. They would you know, 425 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: stock her in store. She would go to SAS and 426 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: buy out the spanks herself, so it looked like she 427 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: was doing really well, and so she would go to 428 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: each store and buy it out, so then they wanted 429 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: to place a bigger order. It's like clever. It's like fraud. 430 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, a lot of people say that, but it's 431 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: it's genius. It's like, say it's clever because then it creates, 432 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: you know, the hype, the hype. And that was just 433 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: like like one example that I thought was, you know, 434 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: it's like costing her money, but it's putting it back 435 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: in the business. But it was just like just the 436 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: little thing she did was like really incredible in her story. 437 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, And another little thing she did that I love 438 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: was she sent a basket of Spanx to Oprah Winfrey's 439 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: TV address with a gift card and it just also 440 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: a letter explaining what she was trying to develop. And 441 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: in the end Oprah ended up picking it up and 442 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: finding out about the business and bringing it up on 443 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: her TV show saying they were one of her favorite things, 444 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: which at that time was huge. 445 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, oh my god, do you remember you told 446 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: me that story about the person who like jumped the 447 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: Kardashians fence. She's amazing tell us about that. Her name is, 448 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: It's Olivia something, and she's the founder of a business 449 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: in Melbourne called Silk Olivia Carr. So she started a 450 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: silk brand in Melbourne and she really really wanted to 451 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: get the Kardashians on board. And the way she did 452 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: this was she saved up, bought a ticket to La 453 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: literally jumped the fence to their house and left a 454 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: basket of products and like a five page letter about 455 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: who she was. She was a single mom at the time, 456 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: raising her daughter very young. 457 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,239 Speaker 3: Mum. 458 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 2: I think she had her daughter when she was about 459 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 2: twenty years old and she'd started this brand, and they 460 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: endorsed the products, and the Kardashians order from her now 461 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 2: and her brands built to this amazing thing. And what 462 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: I really loved about that story was it was nuts, 463 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: but she did it such. 464 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: A risk, big risk, because they could have just got 465 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: it and been like, yeah, we get a thousands of these. 466 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 2: Exactly, and she was. I think what's important as well 467 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: that Sarah did is that they both showed themselves in it, 468 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: Like they didn't just send this perfectly packaged PR box. 469 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: They went there themselves, they dropped it off, they wrote 470 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: a letter explaining who they were and why their goal 471 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: was so important to them. And then the other thing 472 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 2: she did was she did the same thing with the 473 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: Beverly Hills Hotel, so they manufactured the Beverly Hills Hotel PJ. 474 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: And she did that by going to Beverly Hills Hotel, 475 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 2: finding out who was the person in charge of that beforehand, 476 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: and going to actually meet them in person and making 477 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: that effort even though she was technically still a tiny business, 478 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 2: and not letting that stop her from going for those 479 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: huge clients. 480 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: Love, I'm excited, what's the next one? I love this episode. 481 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: Shit's getting me excited. Yeah, all right, next one. So 482 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: this this was like a recent expander. So I had 483 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: a lot of limiting beliefs around getting pregnant and having 484 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: a baby and you know, still being successful in business 485 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: and so content that I really kind of looked for 486 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: and consumed when I was pregnant was like other female 487 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs who you know, were either pregnant or had kids. 488 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: And someone who I found who I love is Jenna Kutcher. 489 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: So she actually has the Goal Goal Yeah, Goal Digger podcast. 490 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: She's great. She's on Instagram as Jenna Kutcher and she 491 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: is this. So her backstory is she was a photographer 492 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: and she would work a week. She like photograph weddings, 493 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: so yeah, she used to do weddings, so she'd work 494 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: all weekend edit photos during the week, and you know, 495 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: it was not sustainable. So then she started an online 496 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: course all about teaching I believe it was like other 497 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: photographers how to market, because she got so busy that 498 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: she couldn't keep up. So she had obviously like you know, 499 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: found a niche or whatever. So then she helped other 500 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: photographers market. So then she started doing like online courses 501 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and that's her bread and butter now is online courses, 502 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: so she teaches about marketing in a very simplistic way, 503 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: like she has courses about like Pinterest and just how 504 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: to utilize things. And then also herself, she has a 505 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: backroun of you know, having three miscarriages and she puts 506 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: a lot of her personal life online, so you know, 507 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: you know her and you you feel like you know her. 508 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: So then she has this really beautiful story of you know, 509 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: finally having a pregnancy that went to full term. And 510 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: what she did was she like really prepped her team 511 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: and had a whole process of she wanted to take 512 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: time off, so maternity leave. And also another thing is 513 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: like her husband, like she was the breadwinner and her 514 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: husband the plan was to stay at home with baby 515 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 1: and she would go back to work. So similar with 516 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: me and Tim as well. So like I found her 517 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, Yes, she's my 518 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: expander at the moment. And she has this really cool 519 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: episode where she she always does like a year in 520 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 1: review where she'll literally tell you like the number figure 521 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: of like how much she earned. Wow. Yeah, Like she's 522 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 1: very transparent, and in this episode she was going like 523 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: the year of I think it was like twenty ninety 524 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: and so that's the year that she had her baby. 525 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: She was on maternity leave, but she had prepped her 526 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: team so they could still work, still launch, but she 527 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, wasn't working and she got time with her baby, 528 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: and then you know, she came back to work and 529 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: she said, it was the year that I spent the 530 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: least time in my business. And I'm pretty sure they 531 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: like double their income. Oh my god. Yeah, so she's like, 532 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: this is the most I've ever earned and it was 533 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: like seven million, seventeen million or something ridiculous like that 534 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: while having her first baby and being on maternity leave. 535 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: That's incredible. It was, and it was incredible, and it 536 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: made me believe. I'm like, oh my god, I have 537 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: so many limiting beliefs around getting pregnant and around running 538 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: my business and around having our baby. And she was 539 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: just such like an expander for me during that time. 540 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,959 Speaker 1: And then also what I love too is she also 541 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: a huge thing we did with Naked Harvest was like 542 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: really prep so I could take time off with Ivy 543 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: and have maternity leave and be like really ahead. And 544 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: she was like a catalyst for like doing that and 545 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: that's what we did, and that was like really good 546 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: to you know, be really prepped. Yeah. Yeah, So she 547 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: was such a huge expander for me. Of and she 548 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: still is in regards to She just had her second 549 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: baby and she still like the company still runs. You know, 550 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: her husband is at home with the kids, and she's 551 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: just such an inspiration. I love that, love love her. 552 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to start this by reading out an 553 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: Instagram post to you, and then I'm gonna say who 554 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: it is. This wasn't posted by that person, It was 555 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: posted by someone else. The Instagram post is by Holly Branson, 556 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: which is Richard Branson's daughter, and it says ten years ago, 557 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: while at a music event for up and coming artists 558 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 2: with some friends, my then fiance grabbed me and pulled 559 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: me over to a makeshift stage and said, you've got 560 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: to hear this young guy sing. He's amazing. On stage 561 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: was an eighteen year old guy on his own with 562 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: his guitar, and Freddie was right. He blew me away. 563 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask if he would if he would 564 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 2: want to play at our wedding. I don't think I've 565 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 2: ever seen Freddie so excited. We were both delighted when 566 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 2: he agreed and said, I've never been to the Caribbean, 567 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: so if you book my flat and give me somewhere 568 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 2: to sleep, then I'm game, he said. Eight months later, 569 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 2: as our wedding loomed, he had released his first hits 570 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: and pretty much broke the internet on SBTV and appeared 571 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 2: on Jules Holland. I don't know what that show is, 572 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: Bud seem it's big. There's no way he's still going 573 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: to come. Freddie I insisted he's a superstar with the 574 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 2: heavy heart of a bride to be. I emailed saying 575 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: we completely understood if he could no longer make it, 576 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: and congratulated him on his much deserved huge success. His 577 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 2: reply stunned me. A promise is a promise. I still 578 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 2: haven't managed to get to the Caribbean. I'll be there. 579 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 2: We genuinely couldn't believe it. Your promise made our wedding 580 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: even more special. Last week, Freddie and I had yet 581 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 2: another magical evening watching one of the most successful artists 582 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: of the last decade on star Age in London performing 583 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: at his tenure anniversary concert at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. 584 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 2: It was so nostalgic for us as we watched him 585 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: in the same spot ten years ago when people were 586 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 2: only just starting to get to know him. Congratulations, you 587 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: deserve every ounce of your success. You're amazing, Freddie. And 588 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 2: I could not be happier to have been at the 589 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 2: event on that fateful night. And that's about Ed Sheeran. 590 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: Stop how crazy. And he's like literally the number one 591 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: artist on Spotify. Now. I love Ed Churan, I love 592 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: Edcheeran just like he's amazing. I just I'd adore him. 593 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: And so what's the backstory. 594 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 2: What's even crazier is that he was bullied all through school. 595 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: So he had a speech impediment, he had his glass 596 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: and red hair. He had his red hair, so people 597 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 2: bullied him a lot, and he had a rough time 598 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: in school. And he also had a surgery that went 599 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 2: wrong and left him with a lazy eye and even 600 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: worse speech problems. So the bullying just got worse and worse. Yeah, 601 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 2: to the point that he couldn't even talk in class, 602 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 2: Like he'd put his hand up to answer a question 603 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: and nothing would come out. Speech therapy didn't work for 604 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: him at all, Like he kept going and going and going. 605 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: Nothing worked, Nothing happened and the thing that changed was 606 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 2: when his dad bought him Eminem's record and Ed Sheeran 607 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 2: loved the rapping, you know, the really really fast one, 608 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: and he made sure to learn every word. And that's 609 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 2: how he got out of having a speech impediment, is 610 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 2: by learning Eminem's rapping because he wanted to rap as 611 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 2: fast as Eminem. 612 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: Should I buy Eminem. 613 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: Next episode, guys, George's going to be daring some Eminem 614 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 2: just rapping. But basically from there, when he was pretty 615 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 2: much a nobody, still in school, still very young, he 616 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 2: began writing his own music and singing, and his starter disappeared, 617 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 2: and from there he would just start gigging. And he 618 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 2: was like thirteen years old and he'd be like doing 619 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 2: two shows every night, just digging wherever and whenever he could. 620 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 2: And when he got to fourteen, he dropped out of school, 621 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 2: took his guitar, packed some clothes and went to London 622 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 2: and was like, I'm going to be the next big thing. 623 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: Oh my god, fourteen years old, like grade nine, and 624 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: so he went to London. 625 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: He'd couch surf or sleep on the subway if or 626 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 2: not subway but underground train if there was no one 627 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: to take him, and he was just busking and started 628 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 2: playing a lot of small venues until he until sort 629 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 2: of social media happened in twenty ten and he started 630 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 2: showing his videos online and started gaining a little bit 631 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: of a following. But the massive catalyst was when he 632 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 2: was I think, busking in LA and he was invited 633 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 2: to go on a radio show and the host let 634 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 2: him sing and it was just a local radio show, 635 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 2: nothing big, and he got a standing ovation from people 636 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 2: in the studio when he played. And that was Jamie 637 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 2: Fox's radio show. And then he also slept on Jamie 638 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 2: Fox's couch for the next few weeks until he started 639 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 2: getting some bigger things happening. 640 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: Love, Oh my god, I love you bringing out the 641 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: big boys. Yes, Sharon, and I just never would have guessed. Yes. 642 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: And this is like such a huge thing. As you'll notice, 643 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: like with the really inspiring stories, they often had a 644 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: lot of adversity. Huge Yeah, like bullied all through school? Yeah, 645 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: love Okay, my next one, so wow, I'm really just 646 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 1: making mine all about myself. But it is my podcast exactly. 647 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: That's fine. But otherwise I just don't have good examples 648 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: because like when do I have the time of course 649 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: it's about me. So another great expander and this is 650 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: honestly more as I use this. I use this a 651 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 1: lot in the project when people are like I want 652 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: to start a business, but I don't have a following 653 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: like you Georgia blah blah blah. Like a huge example 654 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: of that. And we've actually had her on the podcast 655 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: and will link the episode in the show notes. Is 656 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: Priscilla who started Bang and Body love her, which is 657 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: like it's the firm and cream. It's amazing, it's in 658 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: the yellow tube. You'll know what it is. It's in 659 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 1: the yellow tube. So she has this really cool story 660 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: where she's not an influencer. She never wanted to be 661 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: an influencer. But the way that she like built her 662 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: brand was she created in Instagram, which was just like 663 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: an inspo Instagram, and she kind of it's like, you 664 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: know a form of blogging. And then she really kind 665 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: of went a different way than how everyone else was 666 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: doing it. And then she had you know, like a 667 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: vip list and like she had a marketing strategy that 668 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: was just different and outside the box. Yeah, and had 669 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: a huge launch and like recently she's gone in Mecca 670 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: and like just like done some really cool things, and 671 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: I just love it because I feel like a lot 672 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: of businesses right now are built off followings and Instagram. 673 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: Like this morning, I was telling a tear about the 674 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: Uninspired boys, the what's it called unemployed, uninspired? Unemployed? Yeah, no, inspired, uninfluenced. 675 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: So I was just listening to the Shameless podcast and 676 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: they were saying how those boys they started to be 677 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: a company and it is the fastest growing beer company 678 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: in like eight years. Insane, insane. But anyway, like that's 679 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: a great example of like off a following. Yeah, so 680 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: I just love her story because it's a very like 681 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 1: Instagram social media business. But it's like, no, you don't 682 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: have to be an influencer exactly. 683 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 2: You can just put the work in and grove following 684 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 2: without starting from nothing, essentially, Yes, exactly. Well my next one. 685 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 2: So these girls are pretty young, which is why I 686 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 2: think I relate to them a lot as an expander 687 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 2: because I am a little bit young too. So I 688 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 2: have picked these girls as expanders because it's very much 689 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 2: sort of the industry vibe that I want to go into, 690 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 2: and they've just done incredible things. So they're called Barlow 691 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 2: and Bear, So their actual names are Abigail Barlow and 692 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 2: Emily Bear. Emily is twenty, I think or twenty one, 693 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 2: and Abigail is about twenty two or twenty three. So 694 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 2: it was very inspirational because I've always felt like, oh, 695 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 2: and I noticed a lot of my other friends feel 696 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 2: like I can't yet, I'm too young kind of thing. 697 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 2: People won't take me seriously when I'm twenty something. Huge block, Yeah, 698 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 2: massive block. And this really told me to sort of 699 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 2: just get off my high horse and just start working 700 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 2: because there's no point and what am I waiting for? 701 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 2: But they watched bridgeton the first season when it first 702 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 2: came out and was so inspired by that they wrote 703 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 2: a musical around it. But what I love about what 704 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 2: they did is they shared it on TikTok straight away, 705 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 2: like it was never a oh, people are going to 706 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 2: take our idea. Oh we're gonna get in trouble with copyright. 707 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,479 Speaker 2: There was just no blocks. They shared every song they wrote. 708 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 2: They did Instagram lives during the day while they were 709 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: writing songs for people, and that was still sort of 710 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 2: during COVID lockdown ish, so they had a lot of 711 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 2: engagement and they grew a massive following from that and 712 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 2: people loved being included in the process, and that in 713 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 2: itself is like a marketing strategy because it's the process 714 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 2: as the product kind of thing. And that's how they 715 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 2: grew this huge community and following to the point that 716 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 2: they were able to produce this musical theater album without 717 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 2: a record label and still get away with Like there 718 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 2: were obviously legal discussions because it's now been branded as 719 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,320 Speaker 2: the unofficial Bridgeton Musical because. 720 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, so were they Like the songs were they 721 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: based off Bridgeton and they just did their own spin 722 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: on it. 723 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 2: Literally, Like some of the words are exact, so if 724 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 2: you listen to the opening number, it starts with the 725 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 2: exact word for word narration that Lady Whistledown gives at 726 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 2: the beginning of the series. So it's sort of that 727 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 2: if you took these songs and turned it into a 728 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 2: stage show, it would be Bridgeton Season one as a 729 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 2: stage show. 730 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 1: You can go watch it. 731 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 2: Wow incredible and so well written.

So 753 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: she's self published and she kept self publishing books and 754 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: now she's like a best selling author and it's like 755 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: she didn't need someone to validate her. She just like 756 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 1: went and did it herself and she said it was like, honestly, 757 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: so much easier. And then it's funny because she then 758 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: got a book published by a really high end publisher 759 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: and didn't like the experience and went back to self publishing.

And I 763 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 2: think as well, people think industries like that are super 764 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 2: hard to get into, but just don't think too much 765 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 2: to just do it. 766 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: They are. But you can make your own seat. Yeah 767 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: that's not a good quote.

But 801 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 2: they were just uni professors. One of her mum was 802 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 2: worked in admin, her dad was a lecturer.

And what 810 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 2: I think and you'll love this, she wrote the screenplay 811 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 2: for The Princess Diaries too. 812 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: Wow. 813 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, so she did. She did the normal work that 814 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 2: you think, and I think people discredit that sometimes because 815 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 2: they'll go, if I go through the normal channels, there's 816 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 2: no way I'm going to be able to get to 817 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 2: where I need to. I need to make this massively 818 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 2: and just end up at the end, at the end goal. 819 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 2: But it's not really necessary. Like you can go to UNI, 820 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 2: you can study the business degree, you can study the 821 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,760 Speaker 2: film degree, and then just get the internships and slowly 822 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 2: work your way up to your goals, but you still 823 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 2: need to know that you can achieve them kind of thing. 824 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think so with that a tea, it's 825 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 1: also realizing enough think has to be a certain way. Yeah, 826 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,239 Speaker 1: Like I think this whole episode, it's like you don't 827 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: actually have to do anything a certain way. It's exactly 828 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: that's that's the gi just yeah, I hear you. What. Well, 829 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing is like we know expanders who have 830 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,359 Speaker 1: done it the like Shonda Rhymes and she's checked, you know, 831 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: checked each box then and it's like I don't think 832 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: there's any right or wrong way. And that's the beauty 833 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: of It's like what feels good to you. But a 834 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 1: huge thing is if you come from a certain background, 835 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: or you have certain blocks or certain things that you 836 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 1: think are stopping you from, you know, creating your dream life, 837 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 1: I guarantee you there's someone out there who has the 838 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: exact same but has created the dream life. Yeah, or worse. Yes, 839 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: it's like what Yeah, I get what you mean. 840 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, like they've come from a worse situation. 841 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Okay, Cooper, you have your last one that 842 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 1: you wanted to tell us about, and this is a 843 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 1: good one. 844 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 3: Okay. My second one is his name is Aiden. I 845 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 3: met him through a naked harvest. Whenever I've had problems 846 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 3: with packaging or logistics or even just personal problems as well, 847 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 3: I've always turned to him as well as he's turned 848 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 3: to me as well, and he's always helped me through. 849 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 850 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 3: He's just been a really good mate and plus he's 851 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 3: done it, so he's experienced a lot of it. He's 852 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 3: a little bit older and he's into his business a 853 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 3: lot further along. But yeah, he's helped me a lot 854 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 3: throughout everything. And yeah, some sort of challenge that I 855 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 3: just think it's impossible. I would give him a call 856 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 3: and he'd be like, what do you mean, of course 857 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 3: you can do it, just do it, and then it'd 858 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,720 Speaker 3: be a lot more conversation because he's a massive talker, 859 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 3: but I can tell your ear off. But yeah, he 860 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 3: has really helped me. 861 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: So that's like such a good example because I feel 862 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: like menitia have touched on people around you who can 863 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: be expanders except my first one with my brother's girlfriend, 864 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: but that's like none of mine. But I think that's 865 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 1: a big thing too. You can have both. You can 866 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 1: have you know, friends who are kind of doing the 867 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: thing you want to do, who are like further ahead, 868 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 1: or if you don't have the you know, the luxury 869 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: of having those sorts of relationships of finding it in 870 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: the books and the podcasts. 871 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and do you reckon Like I don't know if 872 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 2: we'd call this an expand up, but just sort of 873 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 2: friends that remove those barriers for you. And your head 874 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 2: kind of thing, because I feel like the purpose of 875 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,839 Speaker 2: an expander is that when you have those blocks and 876 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,720 Speaker 2: all you see is challenges to doing something that removes 877 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 2: that for you. Would you say friends who when you 878 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 2: chat to them, even though they haven't done it, they go, 879 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 2: that's not an issue, like why are you stressing about that? 880 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, or even you know, just like friends 881 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 1: who are like super encouraging of your idea. 882 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 3: If they are friends, they would know you and they 883 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 3: would know your problems as well, so they would know 884 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 3: a lot more deeper than other people because it's a 885 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 3: lot more broad and bigger people and the new stuff. 886 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, this is the reason why I brought Cooper in. 887 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,320 Speaker 1: I knew there was something. 888 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 3: Yes, my last one is Georgia, my sister. Yes, actually 889 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 3: it's really weird because she's my younger sister. But yeah, 890 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:43,720 Speaker 3: Georgia was on her journey with this self development journey 891 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 3: a lot sooner than me, and yeah, so she brought 892 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,720 Speaker 3: me along on her journey as well and has opened 893 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,800 Speaker 3: my eyes up to a lot of things. And yeah, 894 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 3: to not worry, to just dream bigger. 895 00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:58,839 Speaker 1: I love it. 896 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 3: Pretty much. 897 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: And well, I think a big thing is like a 898 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: Kooper just did not have a lot of belief in himself. 899 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: But you've got to we've got to pet them up. Yeah, 900 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: but that's just coming here. 901 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 3: System. You have to have a good support system, and 902 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 3: that's like the key with anything personal or business related. 903 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,439 Speaker 1: I literally just brought it in so he could tell you, guys, 904 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 1: all right, you can leave now you've done it. 905 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 3: No. 906 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,240 Speaker 1: But that's also like if you have, you know, personal 907 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 1: relationships that support you and make you feel good, like 908 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: make sure you keep those people close, and people who 909 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: maybe aren't that supportive, I wouldn't be telling them your ideas. 910 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 3: When you're starting off something like, Yeah, you've got to 911 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 3: be very careful who you share your ideas with because 912 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 3: they just can't comprehend it and they're going to bring 913 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 3: you down. 914 00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: So I think also when you're starting something, you probably 915 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: already have a lot of doubt in yourself. The last 916 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: thing you need is someone to put like one percent 917 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 1: out in your head even more. Yeah, So that's like 918 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 1: a huge thing. 919 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's even if you've got doubt, 920 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 3: it's you've got this energy. When you're starting something, you 921 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,359 Speaker 3: remember like like you're this so much energy and you 922 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 3: think it's the best thing ever. And then you're so 923 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,399 Speaker 3: excited and you had to tell someone and then they 924 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 3: shut it down that it just and then that's it 925 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 3: that wrecks you. But yeah, so choosual. 926 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 2: Any tips on how to if say, you haven't started 927 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 2: a business or you haven't had a huge dream before 928 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 2: and you do want to share it with people around you, 929 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 2: how do you know who are the right people to 930 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 2: share it with you? 931 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 3: To make your mistakes? 932 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: You test it, well, I think it's stick skin. Well, 933 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: my honestly, my thing that I do is I just 934 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: don't tell anyone. I'm like hugely secretive because if there's 935 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: a tiny bit of doubt that I see in other people, 936 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: I like collapse like I can't. So I make it 937 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 1: a huge thing that I'm quite secretive, and that is 938 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 1: to protect me because I know what happens, Yeah, once 939 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: doubt seeps in, And so if you ask someone similar 940 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,760 Speaker 1: to me, I just would be keeping it to yourself 941 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 1: unless you know that person is going to be supportive. 942 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 943 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: But a big thing I talk about is like it's 944 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 1: hard enough getting yourself on board to believe it. You 945 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: don't need to then have to go and spend energy 946 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 1: on getting other people to believe it.
