11
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>What is that like?

12
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 3>It's super weird. It's actually harder to be a guest,

13
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 3>don't you think.

14
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, anytime I'm in the spotlight, I'm like, oh, now

15
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>I know what they feel like because we're.

16
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Used to asking the question. So can I ask you one?

17
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely? Ask me anything?

18
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what have you bookmarked this week?

19
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Sedley?

20
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I haven't bookmarked anything in a book in a long time,

21
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like my entire life I'm bookmarking things.

22
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I have all kinds of stuff, whether it's emails. I

23
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>need to get back to things. I need to get

24
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>back to projects. I need to get back.

25
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 3>To you bookmark them on your phone. That's funny. Yeah.

26
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll send myself email reminders to do something. Then I'll

27
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>look at it a week later and go, hey, I

28
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>should have done that, like a week ago.

29
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 3>I know. I always do that on my phone. I

30
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 3>save everything on Instagram like I'm going to come back

31
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 3>to it, and I don't think I've ever looked back.

32
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. Hey, let's talk about your podcast. This is really cool.

33
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 1>How the world did this get started?

34
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, the beginning beginning was Reese's book Club. So years

35
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 3>ago restarted her book club everybody knows it as RBC

36
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>and each month she picks a book to highlight and

37
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 3>it changes these authored lives like you know. It becomes

38
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 3>an instant bestseller. And her goal initially was to give

39
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 3>great writers the shine that they deserve and also put

40
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 3>money in their pockets, which I always love that mission.

41
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 3>And last year I got to launch Hello Sunshine's first podcast,

42
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 3>and when they were launching the Reese's book Club podcast,

43
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>which is now bookmarked, they came calling because they know

44
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 3>that I am such an avid reader. I started as

45
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 3>a fan read every Reese's book Club pick. I was

46
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 3>scrolling over TikTok bee diving into fan theories. I really

47
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 3>started as a fan.

48
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I think that was really smart because you live that life,

49
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you know it. It's not just some voice from somewhere.

50
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>You live it.

51
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And you know what, I there's one hundred and

52
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 3>one billion impressions for book Talk, and I just want

53
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 3>to share another statistic to sort of drive that point home.

54
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Beyonce has about twenty billion, and we all know how

55
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 3>many people love Beyonce. So book talk has just exploded,

56
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 3>and I was on there scrolling, thinking there needs to

57
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 3>be content for everybody who is so obsessed the way

58
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 3>that I am.

59
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk to you a little bit about

60
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Larry King.

61
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>We're going to come back to that because I know

62
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>he was a big influence in your life. And you

63
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>can tell when I look at what you do. You're

64
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>so good at asking questions. So I'm going to ask

65
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 1>you one what would a twelve year old version of

66
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you think of all the cool stuff you get to

67
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.319
<v Speaker 1>do if you had a chance to talk to that

68
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 1>twelve year.

69
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Old Speaking of questions, that's such a nice one. Thank

70
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 3>you for asking that. You know, I think she'd be

71
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>really proud of me, mostly because I had to take

72
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 3>a lot of big swings and risks to get here.

73
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 3>There were many times where I didn't know how I

74
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 3>was going to pay my rent the next month, or

75
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, crying on my kitchen floor because someone at

76
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 3>work was mean to me, or you know, like I'm

77
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>such a Midwest girl. I like everyone to be nice.

78
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 3>So I think she would be proud. And you know,

79
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 3>Larry actually was my mentor, so I hope he would

80
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 3>be proud to I always use a microphone that he

81
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>signed for me, and I hope that it's sort of

82
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>like his blessing.

83
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, I recently had a chance to speak at

84
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 1>a thing called disrupt HR and I actually brought Larry

85
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>King up in that presentation because he was so good

86
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 1>at asking questions. And he said, the two most important

87
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>words are tell me, so tell me about this, tell

88
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 1>me about that. He said, the three most important words

89
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 1>are tell me more. And Danielle, you do such a

90
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>good job from the Larry King school of broadcasting. You

91
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 1>do such a good job of asking great questions. And

92
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I think Larry would be very proud of you.

93
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for saying that. I learned from He really

94
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 3>shaped how I ask questions because I used to strictly

95
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 3>follow my curiosity, and now I do that. But Larry

96
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 3>taught me to always personalize the question, and especially if

97
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>you're talking to politicians, you can't let them get out

98
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>of the question, and so there's like, you know, there's

99
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 3>no wiggle room there. But thank you for acknowledging the

100
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 3>tell me more. I always think I learned that in

101
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 3>therapy because my therapist will say, say more about that.

102
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 3>Do you have any tricks of the trade?

103
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Boy?

104
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm the right guy to ask,

105
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>but one of the things that I would say is

106
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>stay inquisitive, you know, continue to be intrigued. And there

107
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>are times that I don't do a ton of research

108
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>on something because if I know too much about it,

109
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to ask the right question. So I

110
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>almost think it's better to not know everything about the

111
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 1>person I'm going to talk to, because then I can

112
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>ask them and I can learn at the same time

113
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>that my listeners learn that, ooh, that's so good.

114
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Isn't it such a gift to be curious? I feel

115
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 3>like Charmed are the curious because we get adventure.

116
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely, I think curiosity is a huge, huge thing

117
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>in our line of work, and if people are curious

118
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>about what you do, how do they find the podcast?

119
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Where can they go to listen to Danielle do what

120
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>she does?

121
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.439
<v Speaker 3>Thank you? It is streaming anywhere you get podcasts, and

122
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm at Danielle Robe Roba y and I always say

123
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 3>that good books and good shoes take you places. They
