WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.319
<v Speaker 1>I have to give our guest Britt Steven, a little

2
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:05.639
<v Speaker 1>of my background. I love it when anyone comes to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>me and.

4
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.839
<v Speaker 2>Says, I have this crazy idea and then you get.

5
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>To help bring it to fruition and it sounds like

6
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>your we'll call it a show, a variety show. Not

7
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Till Now has a little bit of that let's put

8
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>on a show kind of feel to it. What is

9
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>happening It's happening at the Lakewood Cultural Center in January

10
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>January twenty eighth. And what is not till Now? Let's

11
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>start with what that is. Then we're going to work

12
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 1>backwards because the story of how we got to not

13
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Till Well was very interesting. Yeah.

14
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah.

15
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>So it's basically a live event where first take the

16
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>stage and people do the thing that they've always wanted

17
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>to do.

18
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And it's just wide open as to what people are doing. Well,

19
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>is it a variety show? Feel a little bit? Okay? Yes?

20
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>So this first debut show will have a mix of

21
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 2>storytelling and stand up comedy.

22
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 3>One gal will be singing.

23
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of hoping that there would be someone

24
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, doing a clarinet solo, or someone juggling or

25
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, but those those folks didn't come through, but.

26
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Maybe in the next one they will.

27
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, you need to reach out to music schools that

28
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>cater to adults and see if you could get some

29
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, cellis Sitter coming up there for the first time. Yeah, answers.

30
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any tap dnswers?

31
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 3>No, but I want one.

32
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>I have never tap dance in public before, mostly because

33
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how, so maybe that could be my thing.

34
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Yeah, that would be so fun. And

35
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what it is. I want to give the first timers,

36
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>basically the feeling of being the headliner.

37
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's cool.

38
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean I've never gone to an auditorium, you know

39
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>where there's a big red curtain in the spotlights, and

40
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 2>seeing people do something for the very first time, or

41
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>seeing a more experienced speaker maybe talk about something they

42
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>never have Like, for example, my pastor, I asked him

43
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>to come into the show and I was like, will

44
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you please tell that story about the time that you

45
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>found God on the bathroom floor? And he's like, no,

46
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>that's and not till now story for me. That's not

47
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>a first time thing. He's like, you know what would

48
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 2>be is telling a story from the soul without mentioning

49
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>God and without mentioning the divide.

50
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, okay, let's do that.

51
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>So lets fanned out. Okay, so let's this. This sounds

52
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like a wacky idea that probably sprung into your head

53
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>at some point. What made you go, wait, this could

54
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>be amazing. And it started with a dinner party for

55
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>a book launch with one hundred women.

56
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Right, well, it actually goes back a little bit more.

57
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>In twenty fifteen, when I was living in Germany, I

58
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>was attending startup events and watching people pitch business ideas

59
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>and would attend the you know, the final events of that.

60
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 3>Event, and I would be like, oh, my gosh, you

61
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>know what I want to do some days.

62
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 2>I want to have a talent show of sorts where

63
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>people do the thing they've always wanted to do, even

64
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 2>if it is, you know, doing a dance routine with

65
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>everyone in astronauts suit like. And then we moved back

66
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>to the States, and I like, my business kind of

67
00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>evolved a little bit.

68
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 3>And then yeah, so I launched a book in twenty

69
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>twenty three called Mama Be Present.

70
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>And at the book launch, it was a dinner party

71
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred women, and I was up there.

72
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 3>You know, reading from the book and sharing some of

73
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 3>my story.

74
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>And after that, I was like, you know, I want

75
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>other moms to get up here and do that because

76
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>that was so fun. And so four or five months later,

77
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>I held Moms on the Mic with one hundred.

78
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 3>Women getting on the mic, and it's what's.

79
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Really fun about it is it kind of feels like

80
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you're at the Golden Globes, but it's you.

81
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 3>Know, every city at tables.

82
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's people getting drunk, people throwing salad that, yeah,

83
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing. I mean, that's really the crowd

84
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>you want when you're doing anything, a little bit lubricated.

85
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes, deactly. Yeah.

86
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 2>So it's uh yeah, but yeah, there's not the pressure.

87
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>And so some of the best moments from these Moms

88
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>on the Mic events, which I've done three of now,

89
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>are when I just draw a name from the bowl

90
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and have a woman come up and speak for the

91
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 2>first time or tell a story for the first time,

92
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>or you know, in that moment, not even knowing they

93
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 2>were going to, and have them completely grip the room

94
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>and do just as well, if not better than the

95
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>polished people, because they were probably the most relatable and

96
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the most real And I just think there's so much

97
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>magic in that, and I don't think there's enough of

98
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 2>the like spur of the moment, first time, beginner, vulnerable thing.

99
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>For how many of the people And you could speculate

100
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have any real, you know, clarity on this,

101
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>but I'm guessing that at least a few of these

102
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>people decided to do one of these things to get

103
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 1>over those feelings of anxiety. And I can't do this.

104
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's still true the public speaking is number

105
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 1>one by far of the things people fear most, which

106
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>is crazy to me. Right for me, it is like

107
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 1>I can't even remember not being able to speak in

108
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>front of people, even as like a young kid, I

109
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>could get up in front. So for me, it's like

110
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand that. But I also been around enough

111
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 1>people to know this has to be just terrifying for

112
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>some people. Is that part of it for them?

113
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:03.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, what's really cool?

114
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.600
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of the people who've gotten up, well

115
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 2>the women so far, they come to the event. So

116
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 2>last year, for example, there are a few women who

117
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.480
<v Speaker 2>were like, I could never do this, you know, And

118
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>then at the end of the event, at the end

119
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>of the night, after watching everyone else go up and

120
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>seeing them basically give them permission.

121
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 3>They're like I can do this, yes, And then.

122
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Of course they're still super nervous going into it because

123
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>that's normal and it means that you care. And I mean,

124
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I was so nervous coming here, but I'm like, I'm

125
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 2>just so excited.

126
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, nobody listens to this show. You're fine. So

127
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>this event, to be clear, is not women only. I'm

128
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>super excited. My favorite realtor, Ed Prather is going to

129
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 1>speak and tell his story. Yes that I don't even know. Yeah,

130
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>so I am very excited to hear about that. What

131
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 1>are some of the people going to talk about or

132
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 1>do are what are we looking at here in our

133
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>list of talent for not till now?

134
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, so speaking of Ed, I was telling his wife,

135
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 2>because our sons go to school together, about this event,

136
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and she and how I want to have people do

137
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 2>stand up for the very first time, like very first,

138
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 2>like I haven't even done open mic or anything like

139
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>this is the moment. And she was like, oh my gosh,

140
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Ed has always wanted to do stand ups and he's

141
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>got a whole thing, and I'm like, we got to

142
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 2>have him, man. So he didn't even volunteer himself.

143
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 1>He got volunteered, yes, yes.

144
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and so he you know, he'll be doing, yeah,

145
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>a whole routine as I don't know if you know,

146
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 2>but he was born with one I yes, and so

147
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>he'll be doing stand up about his life from that perspective,

148
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 2>which I'm so excited to hear about.

149
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So I have a mom and a teacher.

150
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>She's starting the show with her very first time stand

151
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>up talking about life with ADHD and how she just

152
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>started taking adderall and how.

153
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 3>Everything has literally.

154
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Changed for her and how she has this new life.

155
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>We have Debbie Shear, she's a you know, very established

156

158
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 2>way that she does the stand up that she's.

159
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.519
<v Speaker 3>Always wanted to do. So we have you have some

160
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 3>experienced people doing things for.

161
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 2>The first time, but we also have you know, I

162
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 2>have a mom who's going to be singing. She's never

163
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 2>sung in front of people ever. I mean the people

164
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>she's telling about this event, She's They're like, wait, you

165
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>sing She's like, yes, Like I'm gonna do this.

166
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 3>So I just I can't wait.

167
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.279
<v Speaker 1>This just sounds super fun, and I have people asking

168
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:33.879
<v Speaker 1>do you have to audition? How do you get to

169
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 1>be a part of this? So I'm guessing this show

170
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 1>is set. Yeah, but how can they get in the

171
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 1>loop so they know when Britt Steuven is looking for

172
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the next group of people? How do they make that happen.

173
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>People are already saying they want to audition, They're like

174
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>writing in They just asks.

175
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>How do you need? Oh do you need to other

176
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 1>asking if I need to alis, I don't need to

177
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 1>audition for this show. But I honestly have had so

178
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>many first already that I don't know if there's a

179
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>first left in front of an audience other than stripping

180
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 1>and not doing that. So you know, I just shot

181
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 1>me a look like, no, that will not be happening.

182
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I can assure you, Yeah, so no, I would. I

183
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.519
<v Speaker 1>would love to do. I love stuff like this though,

184
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:21.839
<v Speaker 1>because I love I'm always rooting for people that are

185
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>doing hard things right. I'm always rooting for them to succeed,

186
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 1>and when you see somebody. I just watched my daughter's

187
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>classmates get ready to go to Festcon, which is a

188
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>big theater convention, and they were practicing and oh my gosh,

189
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I was rooting so hard for those kids, like and

190
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>you get they get done and you're just like, oh,

191
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.639
<v Speaker 1>that was so good. I have a feeling there's gonna

192
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of that in.

193
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>This Yes, yes, yeah, and so but yeah, if anyone

194
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is interested in applying for the next one, I actually

195

00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if there's tickets left. You guys have had some pretty

203
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>brisk ticket sales. I understand.

204
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Yep, eighty tickets sold so far.

205
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Nice, very nice. Somebody just pointed this out and we

206
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 1>need to have this discussion. Were you on House Hunters International?

207
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Were you?

208
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>I was to stop it? Okay, No, you don't understand.

209
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 1>I was HGTV's biggest fan in the whole world that

210
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 1>they have canceled every show that I love except House

211
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Hunters International. Okay, So where were you looking? Because now

212
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go back there. What I'm writing it down?

213
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 1>When you leave here, I'm gonna go back and watch

214
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>your episode. Oh no, so, where where were you looking?

215
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 3>We were a Duseldorf.

216
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love Joseldorf Dwarf.

217
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so, And I'm probably gonna get in big trouble

218
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 2>for this, but I thought that they actually helped you

219
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>find a place to live.

220
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 3>But they yeah, they work backwards.

221
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Now you've got to have found your place before. Yeah,

222
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I knew that that jig was up years ago, So

223
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 1>now it's now. My husband and I play a game

224
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>like which one are they faking about? It's like when

225
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you're like I have to have this place, we're like, oh,

226
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 1>that's not it. Yeah, we just make it a complete

227
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>game on that. How did you even get into that?

228
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I emailed them and just said, hey, can you guys

229
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>help us find a place to live?

230
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 3>And they never responded until we.

231
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Lived there and then and then I'm like, oh, shoot,

232
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>well now we have a spot. They're like no, no, no,

233
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, and then we were like should we even

234
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 2>do this still?

235
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 1>But then did you feel like a faker?

236
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah yeah, But it was actually just really fun

237
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to see how they do it.

238
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 3>There's like three people.

239
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, and then you have to film everything.

240
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>You say something naturally once and then you have to

241
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 2>say it four more times so that they can get

242
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.639
<v Speaker 2>all the angles.

243
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 3>And then that you form like four days of content.

244
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.799
<v Speaker 2>You film four days and then they only use like

245
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>twenty two minutes.

246
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 3>So all the good stuff is actually not even all

247
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.639
<v Speaker 3>the really funny things. We're yet inappropriate.

248
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 1>You serious because you have to look serious as people

249
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 1>think you're really considered. No, my brother's a real a

250
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>realtor in Las Vegas, and he's like, no, you have

251
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to have already sold the house before they even show up.

252
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 1>So not till Now is a wonderful idea of break.

253
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>What is it that? I mean, you have a website,

254
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>You've got the not till Now website, but you have

255
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of irons in the fire. Yes, what is

256
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you know? What do you do? What is your actual thing?

257
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 3>I know, I don't really know.

258
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I have yes, So I've just so this is my

259
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>debut event of the thing that actually is the umbrella

260
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>of everything I've been doing for a while now.

261
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I just love to help people do.

262
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>The things they've always wanted to do, whether it is

263
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 2>to start writing or to write a book. I have

264
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>a fun writing group which I now changed the name

265
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 2>to the not Till Now Writing Group. I yea also

266
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>do yes the annual Mom's on the Mike event, which

267
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 2>I will be changing the name to.

268
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Not till Now.

269
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Focus righting and yeah, very.

270
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Cool, niche, extremely cool, Niche, britt, I like it. Okay,

271
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.879
<v Speaker 1>So the texter who just said okay, just like when

272
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 1>the wine Yogi is on the show, just became exclusively

273
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.679
<v Speaker 1>for chicks only. I'm out. I'm sorry, Please don't take offense.

274
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 1>But there's just nothing in this segment that's remotely appealing

275
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.879
<v Speaker 1>or interesting for the blue collar men of your listening audience.

276
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, so with respect, literally ninety nine point five

277
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 1>percent of this show is designed specifically for you, and

278
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 1>mind suck it up, Buttercup, you'll live through the point

279
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>five maybe you'll become a more compassionate human in the meantime.

280
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Good lord, Oh my gosh.

281
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, no, So that's what's so fun about not

282
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Till Now is that I'm men are welcome to me.

283
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Well loved that.

284
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Guy, Yeah that anyway, Sorry about that. It just sometimes

285
00:12:55.879 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>people sometimes send things without recognizing exactly of the picture. Actually,

286
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Britt and I were talking about this before the break

287
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and for the first time in my hosting life. When

288
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 1>we were having a conversation, I was like, oh, Britt,

289
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>you need to watch this video on Instagram, and I said, honestly,

290
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>never done that before. But the notion that getting out

291
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of your comfort zone and doing something for the first time.

292
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>I think when you reach a certain age, especially, you

293
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel like I mean, I know I have

294
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>because I lead one of those yes lives where I

295
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>say yes to a lot of stuff. I may only

296
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>say yes once, yeah, but I do say yes at

297
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 1>least once. I think a lot of people think, oh,

298
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I've accomplished a lot. I've checked a lot of boxes.

299
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 1>I've done the things right, I've done the things that

300
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 1>when I was younger, I was certain these were the

301
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>things that I needed to do, And once you achieve them,

302
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 1>there's almost that okay, what now, right?

303
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 2>You know what?

304
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't as great as I thought it was going

305
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 1>to be. So is that part of what this is about?

306
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 2>Kind I mean, it's it's really I just I want

307
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to give a space to people who can be the

308
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>person that they've maybe always wanted to be. Right, maybe

309
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>they did check certain boxes, but there's a certain part

310
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>of them, a certain piece of them that wants to

311
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 2>be creative or to share a certain story, and this

312
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>is the arena for them to do.

313
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.720
<v Speaker 3>It, to share it.

314
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.679
<v Speaker 2>And I also want people in the audience to know

315
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>that it's not all about performing on a stage, right,

316
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Like if you don't if you don't have a hidden talent,

317
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.639
<v Speaker 2>if you don't have something that would be on a

318
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>stage like I Also, I don't want them to feel

319
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.919
<v Speaker 2>like they don't have anything to offer. I want them

320
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.399
<v Speaker 2>to feel something in their own lives that could possibly

321
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.080
<v Speaker 2>change another is something they could share with someone, something

322
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 2>they could do personally, you know, like start off talking.

323
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Exactly what I'm talking about. It's about I mean, And

324
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's I don't know how old you are, brain,

325
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I've got to be older than you are. And I

326
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>look at where I am now, very content with my life,

327
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>right I have I mean, people who was saying how

328
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you do it? I'm like, I have nothing to complain about, Like, yes,

329
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I could complain about dumb things, but I have nothing

330
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to complain about. I am living through a season of

331
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>my life that I am enjoying every second of and

332
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that's not how it is. That's not how it's been

333
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:12.279
<v Speaker 1>my whole life. But I got to say love in

334
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>my fifties so far for that reason. But I am

335
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>now also actively thinking about things that I would like

336
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to do right that are different than what I'm doing now,

337
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 1>that have different outcomes. And I think it's like once

338
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 1>you sort of get to where you are. I love

339
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>my job, I love my career. I've been working for

340
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>it for a long time. But now I'm like, Okay,

341
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>this is good. You know what else is there? Right? Yeah?

342
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 2>And this is this is totally what it's about, is

343
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>to do the thing that you're curious about that you

344
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 2>don't even have to be a professional, right, you don't

345
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 2>have to change your whole life to Like you talked

346
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 2>about doing tap dancing, you know.

347
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's all my list, by the way, it's on

348
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 1>my life list of things to do before I die.

349
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>That's on there, learn to tap dance, you know. And

350
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing.

351
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I was thinking about when I was

<v Speaker 2>driving down listening to you know, with the like crazy everything,

353
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.600

354
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.759
<v Speaker 2>motivated to do things like this.

355
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.159
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I think it's fantastic. And for the record,

366
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I've realized through the years that not everyone shares this trait.

367
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I love rooting for other people, especially people I don't know.
