00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>it's really interesting because we have you know, sometimes people think,

70
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, some people come from corporate and go to

71
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>entrepreneurship and then they get to entrepreneurship and they're like,

72
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>but I want to do more than one thing. We're like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

73
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 2>you can. Thank you. Amanda.

74
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I Amanda Taylor. I'm in Fort Collins, Colorado. I

75
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 4>consider myself an entrepreneur as well. I am a real

76
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 4>estate investor. I have a business development company, and I

77
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.520
<v Speaker 4>have a platform for women to educate them on investing.

78
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Very passionate about that, and I honestly fell into entrepreneur

79
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 4>worship by accident. I know, nothing is an accident, but

80
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 4>it was completely took me by surprise.

81
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't expect it.

82
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 4>But now I am completely unemployable and I love it.

83
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's where I'm met. There you go, she fell

84
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>with it by accident, and here she is. Dana I

85
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>my name is Dana Teresa.

86
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm the Metaphysical Mentor, and really what I do is

87
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 5>guide conscious leaders and healers and transcending their lights obstacles

88
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 5>so they can elevate their impact in the world. I

89
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 5>do this through transformative energy work, which includes reiki, the

90
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 5>acotic records, and shamanic healing. And really how I came

91
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 5>to be an entrepreneur is because.

92
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I was a nurse.

93
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 5>I've been a nurse for twenty years and the hospital

94
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 5>wasn't letting me do things that I wanted to do.

95
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 5>And I thought that the only way and I now

96
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 5>know the only way that I could be in my

97
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 5>passion and my purpose is if I started my own business.

98
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 5>And so here I am today.

99
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Right on. I love this. Everyone's just got a beautiful story.

100
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much. And Brandy, welcome to mission accepted.

101
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 6>I am Brandy Cox. I am also an entrepreneur. I

102
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 6>have a million things going on all at once. And

103
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 6>what really drew me is, you know, I was raised

104
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 6>everybody in my family was always an entrepreneur, and so

105
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 6>we were all raised as to be entrepreneurs. And then

106
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 6>I went out and I did corporate and I was like, yeah,

107
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 6>I'm awesome, right, I was like high powered corporate. I

108
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 6>was like, I loved it. And then I actually got disabled.

109
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 6>I'm a disabled combat vet, and so what happened was

110
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 6>I ended up feeling like, heyde I have to find

111
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 6>something to do with my life and my time because

112
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 6>I am going to go crazy watching TV. So I

113
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 6>was like, well, I'm going to do something that's fun

114
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 6>and exciting. So we focus on gamification and making everything fun.

115
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 6>So that is what we do.

116
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome, making everything fun. I love. That's a great tagline.

117
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 2>It's a great tagline. Oh my goodness, and thank you Brandy,

118
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Hi everybody.

119
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 7>Amy Bonniel Silver, Calgary, Alberta, Canada based the Rocky Mountains.

120
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 7>Women in Wisdom Media is my organization and it's about

121
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 7>women entrepreneurs seeking to flourish. I got bitten by the

122
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 7>bug because I just didn't have enough pocket money as

123
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 7>a kid in England, and so when I was six,

124
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 7>I started dog walking accidentally with a little older lady

125
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 7>broke her leg and she asked me how much I

126
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 7>would charge her to walk her dogs for her, and

127
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 7>I said sixpence and that was it. I was bitten,

128
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 7>and then later I did some corporate it was very restrictive.

129
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 7>And then I had a special need son who had

130
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 7>four surgeries before he was five, So that created an

131
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 7>opportunity for me to seek out more flexibility so that

132
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 7>I could work when he was recovering, work when he

133
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 7>was healthy, and then not when he was recovering. So

134
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 7>everything from MLM to a real estate investing to now

135
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 7>my current work, which is primarily coaching and mentoring based

136
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 7>on work from my best selling book around Confident Conversations

137
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 7>for Women.

138
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, Wow, just sounds. I just feel like I went

139
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>full circle with you. I went on your journey. She

140
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>was bitten. That's interesting. A dog and money and very

141
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm you know you're good with words. So there you go.

00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 2>we have an audience full of entrepreneurs at this same

153
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>people that are sitting in the room, or the same

154
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>people sitting in the room love to support entrepreneurship. But

155
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>here's something really interesting from a you know, you all

156
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 2>do something fairly different. You all bring betterment to people's lives.

157
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.800
<v Speaker 2>But as an entrepreneur, what is the piece of advice

158
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 2>that you could give that has helped you make entrepreneurship

159
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>either easier, flow better, make more impact, like something that

160
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's a journey, and sometimes the money doesn't

161
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 2>come as much as the month comes, you know, Oh,

162
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 2>or at the end of the month, where's the money?

163
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Or sometimes you're taking a risk. Sometimes there's all sorts

164
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.399
<v Speaker 2>of things that happen in the world of entrepreneurship. What

165
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>would you what would the advice would you give to

166
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 2>make this an easier journey for someone based on the

167
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>experience that you've had as successful entrepreneurs. So let's start

168
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>with you, Paula.

169
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you. Deb Yeah, I feel that we are our

170
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 3>own business. It's not that we're our spreadsheets or our

171
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 3>profit margins, or we're the next zoom meeting. It's us.

172
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.240
<v Speaker 3>So I think what's really important is if I can

173
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.200
<v Speaker 3>say so being a newer person to entrepreneurship, for advice

174
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 3>is to remember who you are and what lights you up,

175
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 3>because everyone can feel that in the room. If you're

176
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 3>going and you're rushing around and you're not taking time

177
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 3>for yourself, it really does take a toll on you

178
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 3>and your business. And I'm a firm believer of making

179
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 3>space for you and for the stillness and the calmness,

180
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 3>because that's when magic happens. That's when inspiration happens, and

181
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 3>we're caught up and everything else, and it won't it

182
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 3>won't channel in well. So that's my little piece of advice.

183
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome piece of advice.

184
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 4>And Amanda, yeah, I have to say, you know, they

185
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.960
<v Speaker 4>don't teach this stuff in school, how to run a business,

186
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 4>how to be an entrepreneur. And I focus a lot

187
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 4>on the mindset piece of just being a self employed

188
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 4>person versus being a business owner. That's a very different

189
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.159
<v Speaker 4>thought process, decision process systems, how you're going to take risks.

190
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.399
<v Speaker 4>Like you said, a lot more forward thinking and compounding

191
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 4>effects of your decisions. And you can't do it alone.

192
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 4>A lot of entrepreneurs try to wear all the hats

193
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 4>and you think that the cost of doing that is

194
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 4>going to hurt you, but there's really a cost to

195
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 4>not bringing in the help and the tools to do it.

196
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.279
<v Speaker 4>So that's my advice.

197
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>It's fantastic advice. I mean, look, we always want to

198
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>learn from people that have some handle on this, right

199
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>It just let's make this easier data.

200
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So I'm going to piggy back off of Amanda

201
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 5>a little bit. I think the best thing I ever

202
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 5>did for myself being an entrepreneur is invest in myself.

203
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 5>And I the first couple of years in my business,

204
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 5>it was running myself ragged, carrying my reiki table all

205
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 5>around the community that we live in, teaching a yoga

206
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 5>class here, teaching a yoga class there, and things just

207
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 5>weren't flowing, things weren't coming together. I was putting in

208
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.000
<v Speaker 5>lots of effort for not a lot out of revenue

209
00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 5>or income. And when I finally actually COVID happened. We

210
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 5>all know what happened when COVID that happened, and everything

211
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.600
<v Speaker 5>shut down, and I had the time and the space

212
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 5>to figure out, Okay, what am I going to do?

213
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.519
<v Speaker 5>This isn't working, And so I actually invested in a

214
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 5>business coaching program, which at the time was thousands and

215
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 5>thousands of dollars, and it was really scary to me,

216
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 5>but it was the best thing I ever did to

217
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 5>myself because my business was my baby, and I wasn't

218
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 5>nurturing my baby. I was just doing what I thought

219
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 5>I had to do instead of investing in myself and

220
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 5>the growth of my businesses and the work I was doing.

221
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Wow, so good, can't pay for this, I get me

222
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Brandy yourself. Thank you, Dana.

223
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. So yeah, basically I agree with everybody here, and

224
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 6>it's you know, one of those first things that I

225
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 6>you know, when I'm working with my clients is I'm like, okay,

226
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.320
<v Speaker 6>the first thing you do is you have to realize

227
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 6>that you can't be an expert in everything. You have

228
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 6>to like, you know, if you needed brain surgery, you're

229
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 6>not going to go out and YouTube that. You're going

230
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 6>to go to the person who has been a specialist

231
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 6>and an expert for eons, because you want somebody who

232
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 6>knows what they're doing and who didn't learn it on YouTube.

233
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:13.200
<v Speaker 6>And as an entrepreneur, we're so you know, not really control,

234
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 6>but we're trying to like hold wear so many hats

235
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 6>that were like, Okay, I'm just gonna go learn that

236
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.519
<v Speaker 6>and not you not go to an expert. And I'm

237
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 6>like that, you're actually shooting yourself in the foot there.

238
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, you know, you wouldn't do your own brain surgery,

239
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 6>so don't do your own tech and your own you know,

240
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 6>marketing or whatever else. Get somebody it that's an expert.

241
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, thank you so much, great great advice. And Yvonne

242
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>for you in your business. What's something that you did

243
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that really helped?

244
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, well to pick it back off what Brandy just said.

245
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 7>Definitely when I'm working, you know, in my own reflection

246
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.159
<v Speaker 7>and also with my clients, it's about what have I

247
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 7>actually done that has created value to someone that they're

248
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 7>going to pay for. So I can speak to confident

249
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 7>conversations because I've been doing.

250
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>It for thirty years.

251
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 7>I wrote a best selling book on confident conversations. I've

252
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 7>interviewed and hired about six thousand people and helped them.

253
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 7>So in the work I do now as a coach,

254
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.279
<v Speaker 7>it's really about helping them to figure out not only

255
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.759
<v Speaker 7>what do they know, but how can they monetize that

256
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 7>as well? Because there's a lot of women in particular,

257
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 7>who are smart, who are caring, and they're so caring

258
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 7>that all they want to do is tell people how

259
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 7>they do it. People don't want to know that. They

260
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 7>want to know what can you change for me? And

261
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 7>what can you help me do that I can't do

262
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 7>for myself? And don't tell them all the ways you

263
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 7>do it, because you've probably scared the Jesus out of them.

264
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 2>All Right, all right, thank you very much, thanks Avon

265
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>and Toby. For yourself, something that you've been able to

266
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>do that or that you do that has made this

267
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 2>a little easier.

268
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.559
<v Speaker 8>Well as a humanitarian. So the piece of advice that

269
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 8>I would give is for you to look outside of

270
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.679
<v Speaker 8>just your business. So I would say to follow entrepreneurs,

271
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 8>to get your company involved in a social impact project

272
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 8>and to align with a charity. There are so many

273
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 8>studies that show that employee engagement and employee retention really

274
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 8>skyrockets when teams have like a communal philosophy, something that's

275
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 8>really passionate for the whole team and that they're all behind.

276
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 8>And I've seen that.

277
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 2>With our work.

278
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.480
<v Speaker 8>We have partners that partner with the humanitarian and they

279
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.840
<v Speaker 8>have photos of the kiddos on their walls, and they're

280
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.559
<v Speaker 8>working for more than a paycheck. And I think that's

281
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 8>really important with this new generation of cute little workers,

282
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 8>like they will work for less. They will work for

283
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 8>less because they want to work for a company that's

284
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 8>making an impact in the world. So even for brand

285
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.559
<v Speaker 8>new startups like you know, start that like from day one,

286
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 8>like what can we who can we align with, what

287
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:59.320
<v Speaker 8>can we do to create this beautiful collaboration with a

288
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.919
<v Speaker 8>charity and with our team right on?

289
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Right on? Well, look, you all do incredible good work

290
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 2>in the world, and you know it's worth it, and

291
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what's worth it. You just talked about some

292
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>of the things that you do to make it easier

293
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 2>because it is worth it. But kind of the last

294
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 2>thing that I want to ask you is what is

295
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>it about what you do that makes you happy? Like

296
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's one of those cool things that happened, like

297
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I know, Choby, we were just talking and you know,

298
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 2>you have a child come up and you know, hug

299
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>you and recognize you for the work that you've done.

300
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.159
<v Speaker 2>But what is it that makes you happy about your

301
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 2>chosen field? Because let's face it, the world of entrepreneurship

302
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.399
<v Speaker 2>has opened vast and furious, and there is there is

303
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 2>things that you can do now that you couldn't do

304
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>five years ago. We're going to talk about one of

305
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 2>those and I then if you know you too, can

306
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>have you know your own TV show five years ago,

307
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 2>ten years ago. I voted to be a stewardess when

308
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I left school. You know, they were like stewardest nursed.

309
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, the options have opened up. So there's so

310
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 2>many things that you, incredible women could choose to do.

311
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.679
<v Speaker 2>And some of you do the entrepreneurship thing, and you

312
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 2>do more than one thing. But what is it that

313
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.240
<v Speaker 2>gives you the greatest sense of joy? Maybe it's a story,

314
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's a cool thing that's happened. Maybe it's a knowingness.

315
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but let's find out. Paula, what about you?

316
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Thank you?

317
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

318
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.360
<v Speaker 3>I really think it's the freedom to choose and the

319
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 3>freedom to be true to myself.

320
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>As well.

321
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.360
<v Speaker 3>It's when I work with women. So in my Soul

322
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Spark styling business, it's the most incredible feeling to see

323
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 3>someone transform. I work with people who are at Marshall

324
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.440
<v Speaker 3>I maybe I'm confident or not really sure how to

325
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 3>dress themselves. And when I go and work with them

326
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.759
<v Speaker 3>and I use sustainable conscious fashion techniques where we have

327
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 3>what they already have and we look at their body

328
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.519
<v Speaker 3>type and their skin tone, and we see how they

329
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 3>want to express themselves in the world. We you know,

330
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>act as is. And it's the coolest thing when I'm

331
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 3>working with someone and where I take photos of them

332
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 3>outfit after outfit and they literally just transform and they

333
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 3>are a different person at the end. And I'm sure

334
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.480
<v Speaker 3>all the coaches in the room can feel the same way.

335
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 3>When you can see someone literally become a different person.

336
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's the coolest thing. And the fact that

337
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm able to do not only the styling, but also

338
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 3>be a part of Dev's team and be connected with

339
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 3>all these incredible women and to make impact and to

340
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.680
<v Speaker 3>be a part of something bigger, so I don't have

341
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 3>to gest on my own thing. I can be a

342
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 3>part of someone else's collaboration and expand the world, make

343
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 3>sure the people's dreams come true.

344
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Wow, there's some happy moments there. There's some rappy moments there, Amanda,

345
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>what about for yourself? Thank you, Paul.

346
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she said, the word that is mine is impact

347
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Speaker 4>And for me, I am so passionate because you know,

348
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 4>until nineteen seventy four, a woman couldn't open a bank

349
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.640
<v Speaker 4>account or get a credit card without a man's permission.

350
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.640
<v Speaker 4>And women are twenty five percent more likely to say

351
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know when asked a question about their finances,

352
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.920
<v Speaker 4>and we've just traditionally deferred those decisions to someone else,

353
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 4>be it a financial advisor or someone And so my

354
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.640
<v Speaker 4>passion is just to empower women to educate themselves, to

355
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:20.319
<v Speaker 4>build that confidence to learn and take action with their investments.

356
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 4>And as entrepreneurs, we tend to pour every dime we

357
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 4>have leverage out our personal finances to build a business,

358
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 4>but we have to protect ourselves on the other side.

359
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.480
<v Speaker 4>So let's separate those Let's grow wealth outside of our business.

360
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 4>Let's learn how we do that, especially outside of the

361
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 4>S and P five hundred. Hello, what's happening right now?

362
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:46.119
<v Speaker 4>And that is just my mission. I want to empower, educate, inform,

363
00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:49.400
<v Speaker 4>and really set women up for success.

364
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm gonna need to take a cold who said

365
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.319
<v Speaker 2>someone said in the last one a hash shower, cold shower?

366
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Someone lets you do it my cold shower. I'm excited, okay,

367
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and data for you.

368
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I love the freedom as well, and kind of

369
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 5>what just came to me, I just had a big

370
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Speaker 5>little insight.

371
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Thank you guys for inspiring that. But I love how

372
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.079
<v Speaker 2>integrated my life has become.

373
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 5>It's not like this is work data and this is

374
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:17.240
<v Speaker 5>off work data.

375
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 2>It's all come.

376
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 5>Together as one because I'm as a healer and a mentor,

377
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.279
<v Speaker 5>I'm constantly healing and mentoring myself, and the lessons that

378
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.720
<v Speaker 5>I learned through my own healing, those translate into how

379
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm guiding other people to heal as well, how I'm

380
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.079
<v Speaker 5>helping others to become their own energy healers.

381
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>And so life just really flows.

382
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 5>When you're in again your passion and your purpose and

383
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 5>you're doing what you love, then it just becomes your

384
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 5>whole life.

385
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And work to me is so fun. It's not like

386
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go to work. It's like, yes, I get

387
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 2>to go to work. Yeah, you go from got to

388
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 2>to get to. And what I think happens for entrepreneurs

389
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>after a while is you start to embody, you become,

390
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 2>You become what you want the world to be. And

391
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.039
<v Speaker 2>that's what I hear when you talk about you know,

392
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.519
<v Speaker 2>is embodying. Thank you so much, Dana and for you, Brandy.

393
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 6>So Dana said the key word for me, which is fun.

394
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I tell everybody life is too hard.

395
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.920
<v Speaker 6>Business is too hard to not be having fun. And

396
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.880
<v Speaker 6>if you're not having fun, then we're doing something wrong.

397
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 6>And that's why my whole business focus on gamification and

398
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 6>turning your business into a game that your clients and

399
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.240
<v Speaker 6>you love to play. There's always gonna be boring parts,

400
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:37.720
<v Speaker 6>there's always going to be slow parts. Like a game,

401
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 6>sometimes there's a little bit of a grind. But if

402
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 6>we make the entire thing with the aim of focusing

403
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 6>on fun while you are having that amazing impact and

404
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:55.000
<v Speaker 6>that freedom, then you end up enjoying life every single

405
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:55.839
<v Speaker 6>day when you get.

406
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Up right on whoop all right, Yvonne, Well.

407
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 7>It's definitely the you know, seeing the light bulb go on.

408
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 7>As a secutive coach working with women entrepreneurs and some

409
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.799
<v Speaker 7>professionals as well, it's when they truly step from oh

410
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if I can do this, into believing

411
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.599
<v Speaker 7>that they can. They take the step, and then all

412
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 7>of a sudden, they're writing the book, they're doing a retreat,

413
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 7>they're you know, hosting an event, they're they're doing something

414
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 7>they never thought that they could possibly do. And I'm

415
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.119
<v Speaker 7>sitting there there going and I get paid for this

416
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:34.759
<v Speaker 7>like this is fun. And so I you know, I

417
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.079
<v Speaker 7>love it when women decide for themselves as I did,

418
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:44.119
<v Speaker 7>to stop tolerating mediocre and really step into something that

419
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.880
<v Speaker 7>is more joyful. That's my word for this year. It's

420
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.359
<v Speaker 7>joyful exclamation mark. It's not joyful if it's not fun

421
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:53.720
<v Speaker 7>not doing it. And so I heard a quote the

422
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.160
<v Speaker 7>other day I'll just wrap up with, which was stop

423
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.799
<v Speaker 7>pushing against the door to success, it opens inwards. That

424
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 7>was Charlotte Brown Phillips woman. And I believe that that's

425
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 7>where we really thrive as entrepreneurs, is when we step

426
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 7>into doing things differently at our own pace and choosing

427
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:15.720
<v Speaker 7>our path based on what brings us the greatest joy.

428
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, all right, Toby, I mean, okay, Toby, just you know,

429
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:22.480
<v Speaker 2>wrap that up. No, but you know, what is it

430
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>that makes you happy? What is it that makes it

431
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>worth it? So people out there, what is you know?

432
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:31.279
<v Speaker 2>How do you make that happen for yourself? It's so easy.

433
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:37.799
<v Speaker 8>So the humanitarian focuses on nutrition, fighting malnutrition, and creating opportunity,

434
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:41.880
<v Speaker 8>educational opportunities and income opportunities for our families in Guatemala.

435
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.519
<v Speaker 8>So that's like pure joy, pure happy. But then, like

436
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 8>Paula said, my word is transformation. So what makes me

437
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 8>happy is getting to watch transformation happen in myself and

438
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.519
<v Speaker 8>in others. So I get to see these darling kiddos

439
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 8>in Guatema go from hungary to healthy. I get to

440
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 8>see them from shy and reserved with very little opportunity

441
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 8>to brave and confident and self secure. I get to

442
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:16.039
<v Speaker 8>see volunteers come alive with purpose after they've been working

443
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 8>with our community. And I get to see individuals come

444
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 8>together to create real change in their community and in others.

445
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 8>So I mean, all of it is soul food for me.

446
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 8>It's just amazing good work and we're making tangible impacts,

447
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 8>which is nothing but pure happiness.

448
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow. So what I hear from all of you is

449
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 2>that it's worth it. I hear that as you give,

450
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you receive. I hear that there's a sense of like

451
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I said earlier, there's a sense of empowerment that happens

452
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.279
<v Speaker 2>for you as well when you see what you're doing

453
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.839
<v Speaker 2>in the world making change right, it's like you talk

454
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>about it with enthusiast on how what you do opens

455
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.319
<v Speaker 2>people's eyes. Like I said before, there's so many different

456
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 2>ways that people can step into this world of entrepreneurship.

457
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:10.480
<v Speaker 2>There's so many. And then now there's this new level

458
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:15.519
<v Speaker 2>of niching in that like I work with executives, I

459
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 2>work with women, I work with people in the nonprofit sector,

460
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and there's all of these incredible and it's making for

461
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.119
<v Speaker 2>a pretty big, colorful rainbow. I have to say that

462
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>there has been a tide and rise not only with

463
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:32.279
<v Speaker 2>women in this sector, but entrepreneurship and these young gen

464
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>zs that are stepping in and going this is their

465
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.480
<v Speaker 2>first opt they're like I, you know, and they're doing

466
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.720
<v Speaker 2>it because we're laying track. They're seeing success, and they're

467
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>seeing success because of women like you that have stepped

468
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 2>in to it to create success for others. I mean,

469
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:50.559
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the joy and piece of it. So that's

470
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.079
<v Speaker 2>very very cool. All Right, we're going to do something

471
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.759
<v Speaker 2>completely different. We're going to just change the vibe here,

472
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.640
<v Speaker 2>but we're going to stay on point. So here's something.

473
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's stick with the fun. Any great word for the year,

474
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.559
<v Speaker 2>great word for the year. So let's do this. We

475
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:06.079
<v Speaker 2>know what you do. We know how you do it.

476
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>My listeners and they're gonna reach out. You're gonna reach

477
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>out to them. Yes, thank you for reaching out to me.

478
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Reach out to them and tell them how great they were.

479
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I think there's gonna be some cool collaborations that go

480
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:18.920
<v Speaker 2>on here. There's lots of places that we can play.

481
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 2>But in talking about that self care that you were

482
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 2>talking about, Paula and that sense of freedom, I personally

483
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.799
<v Speaker 2>think that happens when I listen to music. I really

484
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.039
<v Speaker 2>get back to myself. When I listen to music, it

485
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.440
<v Speaker 2>changes my vibe, It gives me energy. I do it

486
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>between clients. I go on the balcony or something's going on,

487
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 2>I go listen to a song and I'm like, Okay,

488
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:40.519
<v Speaker 2>let's figure this out, so don't overthink it. It can

489
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.240
<v Speaker 2>be the song that you're listening to, Manda's like, oh

490
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>my god, here comes a question. It could be the

491
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 2>song you're listening to right now, or the one that

492
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>you could never imagine listening, you know, ever living without

493
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>like you know me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin.

494
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:54.079
<v Speaker 2>You know you could never imagine you're life without that song.

495
00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Paul I'm gonna start with you one song, one album,

496
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 2>or one singer that she's like, I got it, I

497
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>got it to stop job totally.

498
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 3>I recently took a sabbatical for six months and I

499
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.160
<v Speaker 3>was solo traveling, and one song that kept with me

500
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.559
<v Speaker 3>just pumped me up and maybe fearless, like nothing was

501
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 3>going to get me. Is that from Gizmos g I

502
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 3>Z M O v A R I L l A

503
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 3>s called Freedom for a Change.

504
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:21.000
<v Speaker 7>It's powerful.

505
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:22.319
<v Speaker 3>Play it, you'll love it?

506
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:25.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you for spelling that. I appreciate you

507
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 2>saving me from doing that. Amanda, What about you? What's

508
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the song that you're taking with you today Private Island?

509
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.359
<v Speaker 2>It's just you and you.

510
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Can I love music more than anything, and you're making

511
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:39.480
<v Speaker 4>me pick one. The album that I always go back

512
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 4>to is Sime's Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. I am

513
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.319
<v Speaker 4>such a gen xer. I don't know. I will listen

514
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.200
<v Speaker 4>over and over and over for the rest of my life.

515
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.839
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we got it. I love this mix up. Dana,

516
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:51.599
<v Speaker 2>how about yourself?

517
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.359
<v Speaker 5>I've been a huge Lady Gaga fand for a really

518
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:58.440
<v Speaker 5>long time. And her new song that's out right now, Abracadabra,

519
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.640
<v Speaker 5>I bring them. I love creating magic with in my

520
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 5>own life, with my clients, with my friends and family,

521
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 5>and so it's just like, yeah, I have my magic

522
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.680
<v Speaker 5>wand and that African era and also just the beat

523
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.279
<v Speaker 5>of that song.

524
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 2>It's so fun to dance too. Right on. Okay and Brandy,

525
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.720
<v Speaker 2>what are you listening to these days or what do

526
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.079
<v Speaker 2>you love?

527
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.680
<v Speaker 6>I am really struggling with this because I have like

528
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.519
<v Speaker 6>my little playlist and it is all rage metal.

529
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:35.920
<v Speaker 2>So well, you might go, I'm going to eat DC

530
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>on April. So it's like, you know, if it's one

531
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.079
<v Speaker 2>level up, Okay, cool, what is it? Just tell us?

532
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean I listen to a lot of like

533
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 6>Pantera and Marilyn Manson and God's Back and Alison Chains

534
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Speaker 6>I think is the most PG of what I listened to. So,

535
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.759
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I listen to a lot of rage metal

536
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 6>and I like to just scream out everything in my hat.

537
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:58.599
<v Speaker 6>But the thing that gets me out of bed in

538
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 6>the morning when I'm having a rough morning, my husband

539
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.359
<v Speaker 6>will from wherever he is in the world, he will

540
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.359
<v Speaker 6>sit there and he will cast it to my house

541
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 6>and on every speaker and it'll be the greatest showman.

542
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.799
<v Speaker 6>And that gets me up and out of the bed.

543
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 6>Even though I like Ridge metal like sometimes I just

544
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:15.119
<v Speaker 6>need that little oomph.

545
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we all need that little unpunny. Don't worry about it.

546
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.000
<v Speaker 2>That's that's fantastic. And Yvonne, what are you listening to

547
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that that works for you?

548
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.119
<v Speaker 7>Well, based on you know, divesting of a toxic husband

549
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 7>a little over a year ago. My my favorite still

<v Speaker 2>is We're going to put you out on a platform

597

<v Speaker 2>and help you go stand up, speak up, and show

598
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.559
