• 1:16
  Speaker 2: advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. I mean literally, this conversation is

• 1:32
  Speaker 2: your own to share or just want to say hi,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you can always reach out to me. It's Emily at
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: hurdle dot us. And please, when you find yourself saying
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: yes listening to today's episode, share this gem with a friend.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It means the world to me to expand this network
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and trust me this one well, it's definitely worth sharing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And that's it. With that, let's get to hurdling.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: As many of you know, sometimes starting out can surely
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: be the hardest part.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So we either know nothing about where we're going.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: We have all of these scattered ideas, we want to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: do two hundred things at once, but can only do
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: maybe three. So my first question to you tonight is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: talk to me a little bit about your start. If
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: there's any specific details you remember about getting into the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: career path that you've chosen right now, and feel free
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to go in whatever order.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We don't have to be anything specific.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Well, my original hustle was as a lawyer, so running
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for a living now is or sweating for a living,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I should say, is quite different. So for me, it
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: was actually a slow to year process of leaving a
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: full time law firm job and recreating myself as an athlete.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And the pivotal point.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: For me was I stopped accepting free pairs of shoes
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: from athletic brands who wanted to work with me, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I started to put a value on my own time,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and I started to put.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: A number, a dollar sign on my ideas.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And I know, like artists and all of us, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: probably have had that moment where it's like, we're there,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to accept a no in order
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: for someone to value my yes. And the yes pays
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the bills. So yeah, I just stopped accepting free shoes.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And now look at where you are, Jacquoline, what about you? Well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lot of starts right So
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: At least, I.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Had a corporate job. I was working in New York.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: I got transferred to Los Angeles and then I got
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: laid off, which happens, and basically it was really the
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: my entrepreneurial journey. So it was a real low low
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: followed by a very high high. But essentially I started
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: my first company when I was twenty three, and that
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: company I made so many mistakes.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how to run a business.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I learned so much and basically started to want to
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: foster community of other women who were going through the
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: same entrepreneurial struggles that I was going through. Hence Create
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: and Cultivate, which started, as you know, just fifty women
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: in a room having a conversation and now is obviously
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: a massive media platform and we host events like all
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: over the country for thousands of women. So I think
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: it's just about you know, and we were just talking
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: about this in our mentor session, but really going where
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: the momentum is, you know, and seeing where that momentum
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: is taking you and where it's pulling you, and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: paying attention to it and then.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Treating it like a business. Deana, what you got?
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I would say that I got my start well, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: was in fashion show production for a very long time
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: and it was a friend of mine that kind of said, hey,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: I don't think you're utilizing your skill set to the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: utmost potential. And from there I kind of did a
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: lot of soul searching and a lot of understanding that
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: I've always had this passion for storytelling, but I wasn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: utilizing it in the right industry.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: And that's how I got my started with art. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: from art it's been able.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: It's been able to like connect me with different people
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: and be able to open up that platform of mental
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: health awareness and to be myself, and to also have
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: an audience where we can relate and be able to
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: talk about topics that really have a really bad stema
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: right now. So being able to open up those doors
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: and have that conversation all through art has been I
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: would say, the gratifying moment, but also the start of
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: many other things.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Lauren, Oh my god, I always say this.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: The first word on a microphone is so scary.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Every time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Every time I hear my own voice, I'm like, this
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: is what I sound like. It never gets not never,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: never for me.
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: I actually got my start it was my last year
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: of college. So I was in college studying marketing and
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: business and I had a day job at a club,
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: and I was just like as kind of a hobby
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: as a passion on the side, and I was doing
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: it for about a year and then and then the
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: club was closing, so I had a choice to make
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: whether I wanted to continue on and get a new job.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: And in nightlife, like clubs open and clothes all the time,
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: it's really just part of culture, and people kind of
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: bounce around from like one club to the new one
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: that's opening. And I had to make the decision, am
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: I going to go where there's another secure job, or
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: do I take this moment to you know, start a
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: new path for real and just kind of go for it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And I gave myself six months.
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: I was like, you know what if I'm not making
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: ends meet and living comfortably by six months, which like
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: I saved up in my mind enough to have like
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: my life okay. And I was like, yeah, if I'm not,
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: you know, comfortable in six months, then I'll just get
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: a normal job.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And I haven't had a normal job since. It's so funny.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: The other day I referred to like not having a
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: full time job as like my life right now, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: someone was like, do you understand you have a full
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: time job? It's just that you don't go to the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: same office every day, and that's okay, right. You mentioned
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: that there was a time that you felt like it
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: was an utmost failure, and you said that I felt
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: like I was at the.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Lowest of lows.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Oftentimes, as we've learned throughout this journey that we've been on,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: failures happened to teach us lessons. So I would love
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it if any of you would like to reflect on
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: maybe one of those times that really felt like the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: lowest of low lows and how you managed to pull
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: yourself out of the hole.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: So when that club closed and I was like I'm
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: going to do this, I was actually I was a
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: DJ for an artist and we were about to go
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: on a two month's tour. So that was my kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: of like, Okay, I can make this transition. This club
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: is closing and then I'm going to go do this.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: And two weeks before the tour, he dropped me. So
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: I was like, Oh, there goes to my whole plan.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Is this a sign from the universe that like, I
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: shouldn't be doing this and what am I doing? Oh
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: my god, how am I going to make? You know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: make my life? And where am I going to go?
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: That was my my big jumping off point that I
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: had in mind, and my whole got my whole plan
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: just got thrown out the window.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So I was really really scared, and.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: I just knew it could go one of two ways,
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: and like, either I just give up and give in
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: and go to my like safety plan B or I
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: really take this moment and this challenge as a time
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: to see how I function under stress, how I function
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: under pressure, what I can make in a situation where
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: I have nothing, and how I can motivate and inspire
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: myself when I'm kind of faced with like a big
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: obstacle of making a life for myself when I don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: have the resources that I thought I had.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I when I was a lawyer, it.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Honestly I had.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I had the perception of failure and then my own
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: my own personal failure.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: So when I left my law.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Firm, the ic and the chatter was like, how I
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: don't get it, Like you're leaving to do what, Like
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you're gonna run, but like you're not a professional runner
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna teach spin class, Like I don't understand.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: So there was this perception of failure that I didn't.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It didn't resonate with me like I knew I was
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: gonna rocket. But then when I had so many stumbling blocks,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, wait, maybe what theyre's maybe that storytelling
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: is my own. So I had to be able to
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: put myself as the superhero of my story and the one.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: So now I am vper fitness programming and head instructor
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: at Peloton. It's a connected fitness company. We have over
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: one point four million members worldwide. But when I had
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: my first audition at a competitor to teach spin, they
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: told me that I just didn't have it. And you
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: know what I didn't at the time. I sucked. I
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: didn't have the musicality. I could barely pedal and breathe
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: and talk at the same time. But what you will do,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: what you must do. So I left there saying, nobody's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: ever gonna tell me not to that again. And then
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I worked my ass off teaching to one person in
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: a spin class at a local studio and Union Square
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: who would take a chance on me. Then I read
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: an article six months later about John Foley and Peloton,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and I emailed him and I said, our visions are aligned.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Four days later, I had a job, So it was
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: the rejection that ended up being the catalyst for me
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to actually learn exactly what I needed to learn. So
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: for me, I find such fuel in the perception of
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: failure because I mean, we just eat that for breakfast
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: and learn from it and keep going and go.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You know, snaps from Diana Dianna talk to me about failure.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: So I had a situation with the client where I
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: did everything. I dotted my eyes, I crossed my t's,
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: and I provided the final product to the client, and
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: the client just went off in the sense of I
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: understand why I hired you your value, like why do
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: people really like pay this? And I handled it as
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: professional as I could, because at the end of the day,
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: I am a brand, I'm a person, and respect and
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: morality to me is like priority.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: So I told her that's fine, we handle our differences.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: But what that taught me is that I'm not going
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: to be everybody's cup of tea. And once I was
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: able to kind of like unlock that kind of mentality,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: that was a moment that made me feel that I'm
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: going to express myself however I want to, and those
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: that do support me and do understand where I'm coming from.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Those are the people that I want to talk to
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: and collaborate with and work with. Everybody outside of that
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: doesn't matter, So that that is what kind of helped
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: me understand failure and accepting it. And besides, no success
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: story is told without a sense of failure. So I
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: love failure. We eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: You can't go up from there, only go up from there. Jack,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Then any hard stuff you got for me.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I talked a little bit about it,
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: but I would say I think that's exactly right. I mean,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: as an entrepreneur, like I always say, you'll have your
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: highest highs and your lowest lows. And sometimes that's like
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: within the same hour you get a good email, you
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: get a bad email, Like all day long, you're just
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: kind of dealing with it. And I think the reality
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: is is that resiliency is required to be in any
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: of our positions. You have to be able to learn
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: how to take failure, grow from it, learn from it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: And I think at this point it's like I'm professionally failing,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Like I just like learned to deal with it and
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: I can just do it and move on from it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: And kind of grow in those different ways. But I
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: think if you think everyone's just killing it all the time,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: you're wrong. Like we're all learning and growing and failing.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I love it, and I love like there's so many
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: pull quotes already from this conversation and we've been sitting
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: here for like fourteen minutes. Maybe also, of course, your
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: your words are on the walls around us right now,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: so you have the opportunity here to give this audience
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and then of course the hurdle audience as well. So
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: much inspiration. When you reflect right now on your career
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: so far, can you recall any specific advice that you've
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: been given, any mantras or words of wisdom that have
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: really empowered you to level lot.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: I would say a friend of mine told me, build
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: it and they will come. And so a lot of
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: times I'm always asked how did I get my start
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: or how did brands start to really pick up on
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: me as Covo? And that was because I always represented
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: myself to the fullest, and everything that you see from
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: me is an exact representation of me as an artist
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: and as an individual. And I feel like that is
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: something that we often need to learn, is that we
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: need to put ourselves first and then the client will follow.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Something that my mom told me growing up. I grew
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: up in a Cuban and Puerto Rican household. My mother
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: is a Cuban refugee, strong Latina energy, and you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: she came to the United States really needing to leverage
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: her difference while also acclimating.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: And she told me stay weird.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And now that that little adage is so such an
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: anchor to what I do every day because I find
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: if anybody's ever been called extra or too much or
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: a lot or passionate, that's your superpower. That is what
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: you are going to show the world is your difference.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And it was realizing that my mom, you know, in
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: a jovial way, saying stay weird now is my business plan.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: So just remember that, like you've been too much for someone,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you're going to be just right for somebody else.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: What do you got for me, either of you?
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'm like I forget you've got something right.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Give me some info about a mantra or a person
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that has been extra inspirational for you, that has kind
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: of helped you come into your power as an entrepreneur.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: A friend of mine, bless you a friend of mine
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: has been blessed you again in the in the industry
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: and creative space for you know, fifteen twenty years, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: he just made it so clear to me that you
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: have to be ready to and okay with evolving and
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: really know when to do that. And I think that's
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: so important, just even in personal lives, to pause and
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: check in with yourself and be like, is what I'm
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: doing right now as a person, as a business, as
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: a brand, bless you? Is that authentic to me? Is
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: that fulfilling me? Is that you know, is this the
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: right point in my path where I should shift or
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: am I going to keep going? And I think a
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: lot of times people and brands and you know, businesses
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: don't realize when it's time to evolve, and they get
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: stuck or they get lost, or their message is it
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: doesn't hit me more, it's it doesn't feel right anymore
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: because it's not authentic to who they are anymore. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: especially when you're you know, an artist or doing something creative,
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: you really have to be presenting your most authentic self.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: And your authentic self is going to change a bunch
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: and like you know, people are changing their careers like
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: you that moment you went from being a lawyer to this, Like,
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: that's a huge evolution, and I think everyone needs to
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: really take that second to check in and be like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: is this what I want and stand.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: For right now? And if it's not, be okay with
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: changing it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: I got to interview Martha Stewart when back in May
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: at one of our criton Cultivate conferences, and one of
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: the questions it was amazing and I got to ask her,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: you know, different questions. One of the questions I asked
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: was have you ever experienced imposter syndrome? And she basically
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: said I don't even know what that is and neither
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: should you. And I was like, God, I gotta get
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: on Martha's level, Like it was amazing.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: She's like, what is that? What I was like, Okay,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: never my next question. But I love that moment. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: love it too.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I Mean, a big theme that we're hearing up here
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: is authenticity, right, And I think a question that I
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: get a lot from my listeners is you talk about
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: being your authentic self all the time, But how is
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: it that I really home in on who I am?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: It's like we're so influenced every day, you know, the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: highlight reel that is Instagram, walking around on the streets,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: seeing billboards, and just being so flooded with imagery of
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: who maybe we are told we should be. So for
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: someone that is struggling to figure out how to be authentic,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: what advice or inspiration would you provide them, maybe something
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: that worked for you when you were trying to home
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: in on what your values are.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Get off of social media, turn it off, turn it off,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: stop looking at Instagram, stop being on printers, stop everything,
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: and take a moment for yourself to really check in.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Because and that's something that like, I really learned this
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: from some of my musician friends. When they're getting ready
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: to make a new album, they don't listen to any music.
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: They don't listen to anything because they don't want to
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: be influenced by anything. They want to really make something
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: that's true to them and that moment and sounds that
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: resonate with them. And I think as people like, it's
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: so easy to just absorb what's around us, and yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: we're all you know, picking and choosing from things that
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: we like and that makes us who we are. But
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: I think when we're so like just bombarded with content
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: all the time.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: And seeing like what's popular, what's getting the most engagement,
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: and like all these things are thinking it's so dangerous
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: and it's so easy to drift away from who you are,
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: and you have to make like a concerted effort to
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: flex the muscle.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: That is, like your core, so that you know what
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: you stand for, what you like, what you love, what
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: you want people to think of when they see, what
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: you want them to feel when they walk away after
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: speaking to you, whatever, Like it's so important to just
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: keep that tuned in.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Someone to piggyback on that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Someone once told me, you know, racehorses race with blinders
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: for a reason, and I thought that was so interesting.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: So if you're building a business, if you're you know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: want to be a content creator, whatever you're doing, is
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: like you have to focus on what you're doing, stop
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: looking at everyone else, like the highlight reel that we're
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: talking about. But at least for me, I always go
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: back to the mission, Like at the end of the day,
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: it's like our mission at Creatin Cultivate is to entertain
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: and light and inspire women to go out and create
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: and cultivate the career of their dreams. If we get
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: a really amazing offer from a company and I'm like,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: oh my god, that's awesome. Wait does that tie back
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: to that mission? You have to always go back to it?
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: And that's personally and professionally right, like what do you
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: stand for? And like you can get all these shiny,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: amazing objects thrown in your face, but if you just
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: tie it back to that, does it hit those three
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: things for us?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And we say no, Yeah, I love that.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I developed a hustler's oath when I was leaving my
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: law firm and I wrote on a post it note,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: do epic shit, and I put it on a mirror
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: and that became my north star. And I didn't know
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: how I was going to do it, but it had
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: to be epic and that is how I filled my
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: days and that is what informed my dreams.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: And dream is a verb, but you only know where to.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Go with that if you have a mission statement and
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: so kind of that hustler's oath is identifying what you
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: want more than you fear it?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: What do you want more than the fear?
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: fact that if you step into your body, you will find.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Your voice, if you step into your physical power.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: For me, it was a pair of running shoes, running
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: through trauma and running through all kinds of stuff. I
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: would have found the courage and the confidence knowing that
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I will live through any discomfort and I will speak
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: my truth even when my voice shakes. So I would say,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: write down your hustler's oath and then move move. Movement
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: is fertilizer for the brain, and baby, it makes a powerful,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: powerful statement.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: How am I gonna supposed to like follow?
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: We're going running after this.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: I'm ready when you are ready. I would just say,
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: put the fun back into it, like be a kid.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Like we live in a society where it just feels
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: so claustrophobic and so stuffy that we often just forget
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: that the fun of our craft and the love of
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: our crafts, and what happens when you just get lost
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: in it, you enjoy yourself. I feel like that's helped
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: me along the way of trying to bring a story
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: and being my true self and bring a voice into
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: the social platform. Is that I'm just having fun and
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: I'm doing whatever makes me happy. I get lost in
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: my craft, and even though I'm twenty nine, I still
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: feel like I'm a kid. And that's because I keep
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: forefront and love and craft at the forefront of everything
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: that I do.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: We also, I mean, you guys just mentioned times that
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you leaned away from social media, but there is an
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: undeniable power that comes with the opportunity to connect with
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: so many people, a lot of them like minded, especially
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: when they're seeking you out. So are there any highlights
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: or instances that you want to rap about when it
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: comes to you know, the benefits of cultivating such a
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: beautiful community, either on your personal feed or with your business.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Honestly through art, being able to connect with somebody on
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: a level that where we don't have to say much
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: like a lot of times I get people that reach
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: out to me and they tell me how ma are
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: has impacted them, especially in the mental health space. That
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: to me is just the biggest takeaway to note that
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: my space is safe and you're welcomed into it, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: we're able to have this conversation that oftentimes gets turned
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: away and not wanting to be talked about. I think
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: opening up that platform and being able to share those
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: intimate experiences and moments with people that I don't even
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: know is the biggest gratifying feeling that I've had so far.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jacqueline, I think of you like your entire
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: mission is creating conversations.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: So like, how does social media thread into.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: The live event experience? Is an extension of the conversation. Yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Robin sa, I know, I love it. I love it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I'm gonna head out.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but genuinely curios, I mean, I love it. So
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: it's really amazing because I always say, like, I have
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: the best job in the world because like after conferences
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: and things like that, I get letters, like true letters,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: like physical letters from people about their experiences and what
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: they've learned from Criton Cultivates. A good example is, you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: we we go out, we do panels, we have talks,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: we do things like that, but like, you know, I
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: get to meet people, but I don't get to see
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: the after effects. And I met this girl. She came
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: to another one of our events, and she said, I
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: went to the Atlanta Creton Cultivate conference. I heard someone speak.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: I heard them speak about negotiating salaries. She's like, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: I went into my work on Monday and negotiated my salary,
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: got the raise, did all the talking points, and like
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: now I'm like executive producer at this like local news station,
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: and I was like, boom, there it is and it's
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: that story over and over and over again. But it
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: takes that confidence, it takes that connection, It takes that
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: moment to say I can do this on a micro level,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: you know, and then on the macro level social media,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: you know, reaching on hundreds of thousands people, But what
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: does that actually mean? And it's like those little little
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: stories that connect people that you start seeing these And
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: that's what I always say, is like, you know, the
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: whole point of Creighton Cultivate is community. Right at the
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: end of the day, it's women helping women. It's women
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: supporting women, whether it's you're getting that raised, whether you're
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: raising ten million dollars, whatever it is, it's women just
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: saying one, you can do this, or hey, here's ten
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: million dollars. Right, It's all the different little microactions that
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: make the larger movement.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I love the idea of stitching the stories together because
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: for Peloton, we you know, we film from our studios
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: in New York City, but we broadcast to bikes and
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: our app and tread treadmills all over the world. So
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: seeing member testimonies of things of their aha moments, those
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: micro moments. I mean that is confidence that you cannot purchase,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: like we are not going to Amazon Prime. A new
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: life and confidence and Beyonce level swagger.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: We got to earn that shit.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: And I see it little by little every day, just
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: chipping away at that inner critic via the method. You know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the entry point being a spin class or you know,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: a yoga class or a meditation moment. And the testimonies
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: that we see on social media are almost that engagement
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: is I find it in honor.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't always scale.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: You can't always respond to every comment, you can't always
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you know, respond to every DM, but it is an
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: honor to be part of that conversation and the ecosystem
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: that we've created, and I'm sure you get you feel
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: the same is an absolute honor. And I do engage
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: in response in social media with a responsibility to hold space,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: to create a container for those conversations to maintain, to continue,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: and to elevate.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: I'm just like, going after you isn't everything you say past,
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: but one thing for me is like across the board,
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: just when it comes to my brand and personality and everything,
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: we've talked a lot about just being authentic and being ourselves.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: And I think there's such a responsibility when you have
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: a voice in a platform, especially on social media.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: And you know, I have, I have my music career
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: and all that stuff that I share, and I have
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: like a charity where I teach women how to DJ
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: and all these things. But one thing that has stood
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: out the most for me especially was this question about
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: social media, because I'm forgetting Now.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: You're doing great, yeah yeah, okay, we're talking about how
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: it's been a positive Okay, cool, yeah, great, yeah good.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: But one thing that I do is like, I'm very
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: out and open about being an LGBT woman of color,
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: and I think especially like also both my job, like
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: I'm a DJ and I'm producer, and that's definitely like
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: a super duper misogynistic, male dominated space. So I feel
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: like I have such a responsibility to be like, hey,
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: very loudly, I am like this person with these you know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: identity facets that doesn't really exist, like that doesn't really
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: exist as much and in the space. So I try
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: to really make conversations with people that care to listen
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: about how they can really feel empowered in who they
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: are if they're maybe their identity isn't something that they
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: see often represented. So one thing that I do, like
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: every year on Coming Out Day is I just open
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: up my DMS and I'm like, to anybody who needs
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: to come out and they don't feel like they have
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: a safe space to do that, I'm listening. I'm here,
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: and you know, every year, just like hundreds of people
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: coming out with crazy stories from all over the world
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: and they're just like, I'm terrified to tell my family
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: or like, you know, some story, and they just like
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: needed to tell somebody, and to be able to have
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: that space and you know, be that for somebody and
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: hear their stories and be trusted with those things is
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: like so overwhelming for me.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So I think having stuff.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: Like that and knowing that just being myself unapologetically can
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: actually help people feel okay being themselves is just like
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: it makes all the trolley comments and frustrate of things
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: online really worth it.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Wow, first of all, like, how beautiful is it that
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: you do that? A couple of buzzwords up here imposter
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: syndrome in our critic I once sat down with Robin
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and she said something to me that's stuck, which was
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: do you speak to yourself like you speak to a
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: loved one, and it's like we are the person that
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: talks to ourselves the most in any given day. So
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: my question for you guys is when, of course, like
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: we are being so hard on ourselves as we do,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: how is it that you pivot that conversation. How do
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: you take those negatives that seep in no matter what,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: no matter how many positive affirmations we tell ourselves every day,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: how do we spin that into being a positive and
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: then take that frustration and make it something positive and
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: something productive.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Well, the mirror back there actually has my tactic.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: So there's a there's an inscription on that mirror back
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: there that says, I am a bad bitch because I
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: list every time I yeah, it's yeah, it's like a
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: big splicit not sorry.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: So you know that is my tactic.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Literally, I when I when I was petrified of of
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: racing ultra marathons and feeling like I needed to show
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: up as myself and I never ran track, and I
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: was allergic to, you know, exercise my entire life.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I would literally forged notes to get out of gym class.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Totally illegal.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Don't do that on my mom's like medical pad.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: But when I was petrified before race day for ultra marathons,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I would look myself in the mirror and bang on
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: my chest and tell myself I was a bad bitch
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: until I believed it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And sometimes you just have to get into that frame
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: of mind.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And for me, I was able to kind of get
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: outside of myself for long enough to feel like, what
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: would the most optimal version.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Of you say to you right now?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: And then I always ended up at the same question
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: why not me?
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Like why not me? Why not? Why not you? So
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that is my tactic.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: I had a pretty hard time like years back, maybe
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: a few years ago, where I really believed all the
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: things that I was saying to myself that were not
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: good and had had so many people around me who
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: were just like putting me down and made me feel
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: like I just I wasn't good enough, and I really
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: started to believe it, and I knew I had to
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: pull myself out of it, and I knew it was
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: my responsibility.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: To get out of my own way.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: So somebody told me an exercise to do, and they
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: said to write for ten minutes, write positive affirmations about yourself.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: For ten minutes, write nice things about yourself and starting
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: that ten minutes was so hard. That was the hardest
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: and most emotional thing to be like, oh my god,
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: I can't write about myself for ten minutes. There's not
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: that many good things, like, there's not that many that's
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: a lot of writing to do.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: And so I would get.
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: Like crazy anxiety before I started, because I just felt like,
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: a I couldn't even do that. And then I started
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: trying and I went for it. And at first it
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: was hard because I would be really thinking about it,
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: and then it started being so easy. I started just
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: going and I would like I would even repeat things.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: I would write the same thing over and over and
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: over and over because I felt like I needed to
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: read that and write it and feel it and embody that,
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: and it just it became so easy after just doing
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: it over and over and over. And I think it's
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: you know, our brains are like computers, and sometimes they
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: get programmed to think certain ways and feel certain things,
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: and whether that's from trauma or our own insecurities, it's
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: just reprogramming. So for me, reprogramming was writing it. For
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: some people it's staying it in the mirror. For some
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: people it's meditation. It's like there's so many different ways
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: of doing that, but that for me really changed things,
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: and I felt so much stronger and I felt such
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: a huge shift in my self worth that after that,
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: it was like anytime somebody would say something, if.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: I would read a mean comment or have somebody in.
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: The industry say something that was like discouraging for me,
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: it was literally laughable.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Then I was like, you're wrong.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I want to pivot for just a second and ask
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: you a follow up then, and this can anyone really
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: can answer this.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But when we have those tough days, and.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe there's a string of them, maybe it's a week,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a few weeks, how do you go about
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: handling that when you have a platform. Have you had
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: times where you're vocal about shit being hard? Have you
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: had times where you felt like you couldn't be because
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: people are relying on you for a source of strength.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious to know how you've handled that in
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: a way that you feel has been helpful, maybe.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: For your audience or maybe not at all.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: I think for me at least, like I'm definitely vocal
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: when I'm going through a tough time where when I'm
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: feeling like a little down or lost or confused or
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: like I need it's time to evolve. How am I
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: going to evolve? I don't know, And like all these
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: processes feel like it's such a humanizing thing and it's
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: it's helpful for people because social media is such a
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: highlight reel. You don't see that, you don't see the
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: hard days, and for people to see that, it's more
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: empowering because those other people are like, man, I have
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: hard days too, and like if this person can go
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: through a hard day and still, you know, rise up
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: and have that whatever inspiration or control over themselves or focus,
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: like I can do that too.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be all like butterflies and smiles forever. Jacqueline,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: you mentioned having thirty plus employees.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, do you have hard days?
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: I'm never guys, it's so easy, no, I you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: back to your original question, I was saying, like, you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: when you're the boss, no one tells you good job, right,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Like you have to be the one motivating. You have
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: to be the one like getting everyone on the same page,
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: getting everyone excited, aout stuff. So that's really you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: it is lonely at the top. Like, that's a very
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: real thing. And I think at the end of the day,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: I always say, you have to be your biggest hype
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: woman but also your toughest critic, because that's what will
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: push you forward. So you have to be hard on
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: yourself at the right times and then easier on yourselves
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: at the right times as well, because no one at
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: the end of the day is as invested as you.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: It's going to care as much as you about your
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: business or your baby or whatever it is.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And you need to be the one on.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Those days when everyone else is down and not feeling
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: it or whatever it is, to be like we got this,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: we got this, And that might be tough and you
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: might be lying, but that's okay. And I think just
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: making that space for yourself to be okay with that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Like you know, I have my own little like boss
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: support group. We have like our own little like message
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: where we're like.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: How would you handle this? What would you do with this?
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: And you need that because it really is, like you know,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: it can be really lonely at the top.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: For sure. For sure. Do you have anything to add
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: either of you?
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, my recipe is very simple.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: I grew up boxing my father like he would tell
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: me if I'm angry, box and so I did a
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: lot of boxing. But then I broke my wrists and
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: then that went out the window due to an accident,
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: not boxing what happened, So I couldn't I couldn't box anymore,
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: so I started running. I would do a lot of running.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: I'm not the type to meditate because it's my mind
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: and I we have a really weird relationship. So I
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: couldn't meditate. So running became a meditation to me. And
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: then I can't run all the time. So right now,
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: my recipe for getting out of those moments of like
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: really bad inks is I blast Paramore and I have
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: a karaoke session until I feel like I can't sing anymore,
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: and then I feel better.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Is there any new Paramore music from the last.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: I'm still listening to the rub.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: If there is anything new, we don't want to know
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: about it, I respect that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, So then let's talk about something a little bit
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: more recent, like the last four years. What would you
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: guys say has been something that has felt really monumental
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: for you within the last four or so. I'll I'll
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: allow you to you know, flex on the time parameters here,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: but a recent success that has felt very personally fulfilling,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: small orbit.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be like I'll start on this one.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: So I when I first started creating Cultivate, I started
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: a whiteboard list of all the brands I wanted to
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: work with and all the goals I wanted to accomplish,
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: and like on it was having a line at Target,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: and I was like, that'll never happen.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: It's fine.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: We just launched a line at Target last month, so exciting.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: It's a office supplies line. It was a dream come true.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: We have end caps and Target. I took so many selfies,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: but it's things like that I wrote it down. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: never thought in a million years, like you know, who
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: am I some random girl from Florida who had zero
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: connections to anyone in New York City who moved here
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: on a whim, And like you just have to think
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: about that, Like if I can do it, you guys
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: can do it. You just have to write it down,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: put it out in the universe. And then you know
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: we were saying. I was like, stop asking what if?
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Ask what's next?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I love the success success.
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: I got to play Coachella on like a main stage boom,
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: which was so cool. I was like, I would never
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: I never thought I would end up there, and I
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: was like, oh my god, I'm here, And it was.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: The same day as Beyonce Es.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Technically.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Technically, yes, Robin, talk to me about success. You know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I'm really grateful of that. I've had amazing brand partnerships.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I'm so grateful for my position at Peloton the you know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm on the rocket ship and we're also just
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: like still refueling the rocket ship while it's in motion,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: you know. So the hustle's real and I love it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: But one of my biggest, most recent successes is actually
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: quite personal. I took three weeks over the summer to
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: freeze embryos with my husband, and it because my job
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: is so physical and I am pretty much a professional athlete,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: you know, a paid to sweat it.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It was I was.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Nervous about having that conversation with Peloton. I was nervous
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: about being public with that for my audience. That's something
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: quite quite personal, and instead I was super public with it.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Of Course, my husband, who's sitting in the front row
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: in a handsome blue suit, is you know, was super
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: supportive and I didn't know how that process was going
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: to go. I didn't know how it would affect me
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: personally and physically, and it just so happens that after
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: that three week period we had a really successful egg
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: retrieval and my first class back was one of the
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: most popular peloton rides of all time, which was a
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Lizzo theme ride, and I was like, yes, I did
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: take that DNA test.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: So that was a very personal accomplishment that like, because
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I am the brand and I my physicality is the art,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't know how it was going to go, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: thankfully well.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: So not to put her on blest, I will say
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: that despite all the partnerships that I've had, I will
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: say the most successful moment, like the most monumental.
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: Moment, is having a manager.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: Because as a creative for the past four years, I
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: was doing all the adamin the negotiations, the contracts back
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: and forth, and then on top of that, I had
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: to deliver the creative that they were asking for and
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: a long time. I did that for a long time.
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: But having someone in your corner, someone that you feel
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: like you can be yourself with and be able to
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: expand opportunities and have someone that you can be like, yo,
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: this is going down, but they have your back one
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: hundred and ten percent. I felt like that was such
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: a proud moment for me because whatever happens next, I
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: know that I'm in good hands.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: What would you say is another great piece of advice
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: or wisdom that you would love to offer other strong
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: women female entrepreneurs.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I will say, you know, don't ask to pick people's brain.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: It's annoying and nobody has time for it. So instead
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: be of service, like offer.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Value even if you don't know what it is.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Like when I was a lawyer, I did so much
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: pro bono work for now people who are in the industry,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: you know, creatives and and just editors at magazines like
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I did. I was just like, how can I help you?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I have this time and I know I have a
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: legal brain.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: What do you need?
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: And oftentimes they didn't even need anything, but it was
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: the offering of value that precipitated valuable conversations. So I
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: will say, let's stop the can I pick your brain
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: over coffee? Because nobody wants to receive that, Like we
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: barely want to receive that from our friends, so you
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: probably aren't going to get a good.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Audience when it's a total stranger.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: So think, Okay, I admire this person, I respect this person,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: they have knowledge, they have some kind of there's a
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: reason you're reaching out. So how can you look at
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: the other side of that and say, what can I
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: provide a value?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Because we all have value to add.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: You just have to figure out what's the right.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: In And it's like finding what's important to the people
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: that you're hoping to connect with.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I sat down with a man by the name of
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: de Murphy and he is an owner of five to
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: four Group in LA and he has a run club
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: with one of his brands and they meet every Saturday
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: out of right near where cycle houses in West Hollywood.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: And he says, when.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: People want to speak with me, they can come to
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: run club.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I will be there.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: You want my time, you can run with me. And
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: that's how he doesn't And I think it's like a
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: brilliant way to like, if you're interested in this person,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: like find a way to connect with them that gets
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: you on their level.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: What other advice do we got?
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: I think being a creative and not having management or
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: representation is something that a lot of people deal with
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: once starting out, you're in and alone, and especially being
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: a woman, like we all know, negotiating as a woman
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: is a whole challenge in itself. So one thing that
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: I did, and like I host, I host these DJ
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: workshops for women, and we also talk about this because
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: this is a huge thing in that business is fake
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: the manager be a fake manager. I made a separate email.
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: Her name was Denise. Denise was a bitch. Denise got
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: me paid, Denise got me flights taken care of, you know.
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: And and the funniest thing is my first agent finally,
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: like when I first first got representation, her name was Denise,
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: somewhere to God. But really, having somebody else to be
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: a buffer, someone else to be the bad guy, someone
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: else to be the bitch, is so helpful because then
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: you're not worrying.
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: About like, oh my god, are they gonna like me?
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Are they my worth?
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: Like how do I demand like my value to this
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: person who doesn't know me. When I'm starting out and
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: you know that I'm in a field that's not like
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: here's my degree for this job, pay me for it.
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: So having somebody else to kind of be that front
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: for you is so helpful. And also you can make
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: a Google Voice phone number for your fake manager.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: And for yourself, like never give out your cell phone information.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a straw.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I learned that the hard way to Yeah, Google Voice
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: is magic, magic, jacklum, what advice do you got for me?
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: Similar to this, but like, never take the first offer,
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: you know, always negotiate your worth. You might not get it,
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: that's okay, just never take the first offer. And I
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: would also say, you know, Robin's legal brain, but get
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: it in writing, be really strategic, take your creativity seriously.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: You know, I think there's so many things in my
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: first company when I was first starting out that I
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: was just so excited that someone wanted to work with me.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, like okay.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: We'll get the contract, like let's go in, Like I'm
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: so excited.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: And got burned so many times and in regers back,
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: you know, get a good lawyer, get a good friend
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: who does pro bono. But you know, I think it's
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: so so important. I have people email me all the
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: time like can I see your contracts? I'm like, I
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: got this big deal. I'm happy to share it. Spread
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: the well, like pay it forward. It always comes back
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: around to you. But i think it's so important to
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: take your creativity seriously, you know, don't take the first off.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: I would say, like, from a freelance perspective, if you're
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: deciding to make that leads into freelance, create like a
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: six month to like twelve month plan of where you
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: save a certain amount of money, so that way you're
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: able to focus on what you're working on, versus to like,
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: how am I going to get the next check? Because
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: if you're focusing on the next check, then you're going
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: to find yourself doing jobs that don't align with you. You
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: don't love it, it's going to make you miserable. So
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: I would say, like, create a plan from six to
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: twelve months where you save a certain amount of money,
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: and that way you can focus on your craft and
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: take it from there.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the best thing about what we're doing up
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: here tonight is just watching you all nod your heads
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: at each other.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, exactly.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: So I love that, which is pretty symbolic and indicative
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: that you guys are not only like minded, but a
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: good representation of the brand that you've chosen to work with.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: So I'd love to just hear a little bit about
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: what is it that you feel so passionate about when
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: it comes to war when it comes to this brand,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: and how does this partnership really showcase you as an individual?
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean as an athlete, this is the kind
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: of product that I seek out and I've had a
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: lot of not to be like but yeah, brands have
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: approached me, but the messaging didn't align. So for me,
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: the name says it all because I do believe that
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I'm here on this planet to encourage people to roar louder.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, cute, Okay, that works.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: So I think the message behind what the brand is
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: trying to unlock directly correlates to how I live my
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: life and that makes me really proud.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: Well, I was just gonna say, like, speaking of authenticity,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, we're all here with you today.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: You know this amazing crew of women.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: You know, I think they are walking the walk and
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: talking the talk, which I think a lot of brands
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: try to play in these arenas and they just fail
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: because it's not authentic to who they are. And I
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: think the messaging is so on point in terms of
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: building confidence, finding your roar, and it's so timely. But
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: they also brought together a group of women who you know,
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: I've been lucky enough to work with in a lot
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: of ways, Like I've been following you forever, like she's
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: been on our Crank Cultivate one hundred list.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: We're doing stuff with you.
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: So it's just like it felt so authentic to myself
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: and obviously what we're doing at Crane Cultivate, I.
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: Mean it's good, like or organic, it's really good. I've
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: had every flavor. My fridge is like stock to the
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: max with raor. But it's it's good for my body,
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: and I'm so conscious of what I put in my
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: body and that because what we put in our body
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: affects for mental health and all that. So for me,
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: it was because the product was great, but also the
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: synergy the.
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: Team was amazing.
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: Like the moment I walked on set is they were
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: just so thrilled and so positive and loving and accepting
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: that I just felt right at home. And I felt
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: like the message that's trying to drive home feels really
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: true and authentic, and it's here and it's in this
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: room right now, and that's something that I've always wanted
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: to be able to represent.
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: I'm just going to repeat the same thing, because I
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: feel like everyone's saying this is such a like authentic
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: thing to have this sort of campaign that's really like
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: focused on empowering women and you know, like it's not
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: just using a buzzword. I feel like so many brands
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: do that and they're just like, oh, feminism women, and
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: it's like all right, sure, but like what are you
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: really doing? And like for Roar to really map that out,
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: and I'm like, okay, how can we make an impact?
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: How can we really like have these conversations. I thought
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: that was incredible. Also, just working in night life and
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: traveling so much, like it's nice to have a drink
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: and like an item that is much healthier and not
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: just like.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Alcohol all the time.
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: You know, like it's it's nice to have something else
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: and be like, oh that's good, Okay, cool, or maybe
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: I can mix up with myarticula.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: That's fine, it'll balance it out, it'll balance it out.
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: But but yeah, it's it's nice to have something that
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: just like makes sense and that you feel really comfortable
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: representing yourself with, like across the board in all facets.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: And I like the name. That's cute.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: I love what I see, Like there's such a consistent
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: message that feeling good should not be a luxury, that
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: fueling well and organically should not be a luxury. And
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: all of our entry points to sitting here are so different,
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: but the through line is that we are trying to
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: send the message that, like, we don't have to sacrifice
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: how we feel for the products we use and the
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: brand partnerships that we dive into.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I love that. I mean, obviously it's an
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: exciting time for raor. One of my favorite questions that
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: anyone has ever asked me when I was catching up
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: with them, it was Kirsty God. So she's an Ikey
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Master trainer, and she looked at me and she said.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: What excites you right now?
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: And she was so serious, like just the way that
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: she looked at me, and I was like, wow, I'm
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: going to ask everyone I sit down with that question
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: for the rest of my life.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: So, ladies, what excites you right now? Tell me my friendships?
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: Like I love my friends and I love being able
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: to have that safe space where I can just be myself.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: I feel like that really like drives me. So I
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: would say, my friends, I say the election next year,
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: let's do this.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: That's that's a little scary, I think right now for
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: me just like evolution and the opportunity to shift, because
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: I feel like I'm kind of in this place where
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: I'm like in that restrategize, what do I really want
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: to do? What's you know, all this tuning in stuff
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: I was talking about, Like, I'm in that space right now.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: I'm so exciting to be like what's next?
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Where am I going? Now?
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: You know what excites me most right now is seeing
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: one person revolutions spark every day.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: I see people.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Start to love themselves every day, and I love myself
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: is a one woman revolution. So that's what it's excites
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: me the most because there are ways that we're engaging
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: in social media in these communities at Peloton, and it's
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: like the finger snap is turning into a drum beat
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm here for it.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I dig it. Okay.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: So the way that I wind down my podcast, the
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: way that we're going to wind down tonight. We started
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: tonight by talking about what I affectionately call on the
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: pod hurdle moments, those really tough times you have oftentimes
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: when you're starting something big. Right So, right now you
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: have the opportunity to offer your younger self going through
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: these hurdle moments. One piece of advice looking back on it,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: right now, what advice would you give yourself?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Get out of your own way.
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: I talked myself out of so many things because I
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: felt like I couldn't do it. I wasn't good enough.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: I would fail, and I just put off the inevitable.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I'd eventually do it.
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: I just wasted so much damn time talking myself down.
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: So just like, get over it and take the jump
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: and do the thing. And if you fail, it's fine
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: because you're either gonna like you're you're gonna land somewhere,
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: so at least figure out where the hell you're gonna land,
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: but like you're not gonna go anywhere if you're just
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: standing still.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: So I would tell her that pain becomes power.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I would say, start by, we'll preach it. Then Dianna's like, Jacqueline,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: you take this next. Was I was just gonna say
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: start by starting.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think you know, everyone talks a lot
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: about doing stuff, but really you can have a good
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: idea doesn't matter unless you execute on it.
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, after wow, if that was very wow, I
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: would say, I don't know if you guys read Eat, Pray,
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. But she said run is the
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: road of transformation, and that's what I would tell my
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: younger self that you're gonna go through. They're really nitty gritty,
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: but I promise you at the end of it, it's
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: gonna be well worth it.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Amazing. Well, thank you so much.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: I'm so grateful for your time again at Hurdle Podcast.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Find it in the iTunes store. I am Emily a body,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: another hurdle conquered.
