  Four

  huge
• 1:51
  amount,
• 1:51
  even

• 1:52
  Let
• 1:53
  me
• 1:53
  say
• 1:53
  that
• 1:53
  again.
• 1:53
  Four
• 1:54
  years
• 1:54
  into

  business
• 1:54
  and
• 1:55
  Vim
• 1:55
  has
• 1:55
  already
• 1:55
  achieved
• 1:56
  a
• 1:56
  lot,
• 1:56
  even
• 1:56
  appearing

  Having

  been
• 2:00
  born
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  raised
• 2:01
  in
• 2:01
  Zimbabwe,
• 2:02
  she
• 2:02
  knows
• 2:02
  that
• 2:02
  she's
• 2:03
  underrepresented
• 2:04
  in
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  celebrant
• 2:04
  space,
• 2:05
  but

  Vim,

  welcome

  the
• 2:10

• 2:11
  Hi
• 2:11
  listeners.
• 2:12
  Lovely
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  be
• 2:12
  here.
• 2:13
  It
• 2:13
  is
• 2:14
  so
• 2:14
  good
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  have
• 2:14
  you.
• 2:15
  I'm
• 2:15
  really
• 2:15
  excited
• 2:15
  to
• 2:16
  find
• 2:16
  out
• 2:16
  more
• 2:16
  about
• 2:17
  you,
• 2:17
  about
• 2:17
  your
• 2:17
  background,
• 2:18
  about
• 2:18
  everything
• 2:19
  you've
• 2:19
  done
• 2:19
  in
• 2:19
  your
• 2:20
  business
• 2:20
  so
• 2:20
  far.
• 2:21
  But
• 2:21
  before
• 2:21
  we
• 2:21
  get
• 2:21
  there,
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  always
• 2:22
  like
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  take
• 2:23
  my
• 2:23
  listeners
• 2:24
  back.
• 2:25
  So
• 2:25
  as
• 2:25
  I
• 2:25
  said
• 2:25
  in
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  intro,
• 2:26
  you
• 2:26
  were
• 2:26
  born
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  raised
• 2:27
  in
• 2:27
  Zimbabwe.
• 2:28
  Tell
• 2:28
  me
• 2:28
  about
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  because
• 2:29
  I
• 2:29
  imagine
• 2:30
  it's
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  very
• 2:30
  different
• 2:30
  experience
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  being
• 2:31
  born
• 2:31
  and
• 2:32
  raised
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  UK.
• 2:34
  It
• 2:34
  definitely
• 2:34
  is.
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  came
• 2:35
  over
• 2:35
  when
• 2:36
  I
• 2:36
  was
• 2:36
  17,
• 2:37
  so
• 2:38
  yeah,
• 2:38
  so
• 2:38
  my
• 2:38
  first
• 2:39
  half
• 2:39
  of
• 2:39
  my
• 2:39
  life
• 2:39
  was
• 2:40
  in
• 2:40
  Zimbabwe.
• 2:41
  I
• 2:41
  was
• 2:41
  very
• 2:41
  fortunate
• 2:42
  that
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  went
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  a
• 2:43
  boarding
• 2:43
  school.
• 2:44
  And
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  boarding
• 2:45
  school
• 2:45
  we
• 2:45
  had
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  same
• 2:46
  curriculum
• 2:47
  as
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  United
• 2:48
  Kingdom,
• 2:48
  which
• 2:48
  meant
• 2:49
  that
• 2:49
  we
• 2:49
  did
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  same
• 2:49
  type
• 2:50
  of
• 2:50
  gcses,
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  same
• 2:51
  type
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  A
• 2:52
  levels.
• 2:53
  So
• 2:53
  when
• 2:53
  I
• 2:53
  came
• 2:54
  over
• 2:54
  my
• 2:55
  as
• 2:55
  far
• 2:55
  as
• 2:55
  education,
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  background
• 2:57
  was
• 2:57
  already
• 2:57
  there,
• 2:58
  or
• 2:58
  at
• 2:58
  least
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  foundation
• 2:59
  was
• 2:59
  there.
• 3:00
  And
• 3:00
  it
• 3:01
  also
• 3:01
  meant
• 3:02
  that
• 3:02
  I
• 3:03
  speak
• 3:03
  like
• 3:04
  this
• 3:04
  because
• 3:04
  we
• 3:04
  were
• 3:04
  forced
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  speak
• 3:05
  like
• 3:05
  this.
• 3:06
  Of
• 3:06
  course,
• 3:07
  English
• 3:07
  is
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  main
• 3:07
  language
• 3:08
  in
• 3:08
  Zimbabwe,
• 3:09
  but
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  accent
• 3:10
  comes
• 3:10
  from
• 3:10
  how
• 3:11
  having
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  speak
• 3:12
  properly
• 3:12
  at
• 3:12
  all
• 3:12
  times,
• 3:13
  so
• 3:14
  much
• 3:14
  so
• 3:14
  that
• 3:15
  people
• 3:15
  think
• 3:15
  I'm
• 3:15
  putting
• 3:16
  this
• 3:16
  voice
• 3:16
  on.
• 3:16
  I'm
• 3:17
  like,
• 3:17
  no,
• 3:17
  this
• 3:17
  is.
• 3:18
  This
• 3:18
  is
• 3:18
  how
• 3:18
  I
• 3:19
  speak.
• 3:19
  Yes.
• 3:19
  I
• 3:19
  live
• 3:20
  in
• 3:20
  Yorkshire.
• 3:20
  Lived
• 3:21
  in
• 3:21
  Yorkshire
• 3:21
  for
• 3:21
  20
• 3:22
  years.
• 3:22
  For
• 3:23
  some
• 3:23
  reason,
• 3:24
  this
• 3:24
  is
• 3:24
  so
• 3:25
  ingrained
• 3:25
  that
• 3:25
  I
• 3:26
  can't
• 3:26
  pick
• 3:26
  up
• 3:26
  anything
• 3:27
  else.
• 3:28
  So
• 3:28
  it's
• 3:28
  been.
• 3:29
  Yeah,
• 3:29
  like
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  said,
• 3:30
  I'm
• 3:30
  used
• 3:30
  as
• 3:30
  my
• 3:31
  superpower
• 3:31
  because
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  know
• 3:32
  most
• 3:32
  of
• 3:32
  my
• 3:32
  couples
• 3:33
  book
• 3:33
  me
• 3:34
  because
• 3:34
  they
• 3:34
  want
• 3:34
  someone
• 3:35
  will
• 3:35
  be
• 3:35
  able
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  enunciate
• 3:36
  so,
• 3:36
  someone
• 3:37
  who
• 3:37
  sounds
• 3:37
  clear,
• 3:38
  someone
• 3:38
  who
• 3:38
  really
• 3:39
  understands
• 3:40
  verse,
• 3:41
  prose,
• 3:42
  diction.
• 3:42
  And
• 3:43
  that's
• 3:43
  where
• 3:43
  I've
• 3:44
  slotted
• 3:44
  myself
• 3:45
  in.
• 3:45
  Love
• 3:45
  it.
• 3:46
  And
• 3:46
  culturally,
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  mean,
• 3:47
  I
• 3:48
  know
• 3:48
  very
• 3:48
  little
• 3:48
  about
• 3:49
  Zimbabwe
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  what
• 3:50
  it's
• 3:50
  like.
• 3:50
  What
• 3:50
  do
• 3:51
  you
• 3:51
  think
• 3:51
  are
• 3:51
  some
• 3:51
  of
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  cultural
• 3:52
  differences
• 3:53
  between
• 3:53
  growing
• 3:54
  up
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  that
• 3:55
  country
• 3:55
  and
• 3:55
  being
• 3:56
  over
• 3:56
  here
• 3:56
  now
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  the
• 3:57
  uk?
• 3:57
  To
• 3:57
  be
• 3:57
  fair,
• 3:58
  we're
• 3:58
  very
• 3:58
  similar
• 3:58
  because
• 3:59
  we're
• 3:59
  colonized
• 3:59
  by
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  British.
• 4:00
  So
• 4:00
  so
• 4:01
  much
• 4:01
  like
• 4:01
  I
• 4:01
  said,
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  education
• 4:02
  is
• 4:02
  similar.
• 4:03
  We
• 4:03
  all
• 4:03
  love
• 4:04
  a
• 4:04
  cup
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  tea.
• 4:06
  Very
• 4:06
  common
• 4:06
  in
• 4:06
  Zimbabwe.
• 4:07
  I
• 4:08
  do
• 4:08
  not
• 4:08
  know
• 4:08
  anyone
• 4:08
  who's
• 4:09
  Zimbabwe
• 4:09
  who
• 4:09
  doesn't
• 4:09
  like
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  cup
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  tea.
• 4:11
  Same
• 4:11
  with
• 4:11
  the
• 4:12
  drinking
• 4:12
  culture.
• 4:12
  So
• 4:13
  that's
• 4:13
  also
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  same.
• 4:14
  And
• 4:14
  then
• 4:15
  all
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  other
• 4:15
  languages
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  we
• 4:16
  speak
• 4:16
  are
• 4:16
  all
• 4:17
  secondary
• 4:17
  languages.
• 4:18
  So
• 4:18
  you'll
• 4:19
  find
• 4:19
  that
• 4:19
  if
• 4:19
  you
• 4:20
  land.
• 4:20
  If
• 4:20
  you
• 4:20
  were
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  go
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  Zimbabwe
• 4:22
  today
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  were
• 4:22
  to
• 4:23
  visit
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  capital
• 4:23
  city,
• 4:24
  Harare,
• 4:24
  you
• 4:25
  would
• 4:25
  find
• 4:26
  so
• 4:27
  much
• 4:27
  of
• 4:27
  it
• 4:27
  looks
• 4:28
  exactly
• 4:28
  the
• 4:28
  way
• 4:28
  it
• 4:29
  would
• 4:29
  in
• 4:29
  London.
• 4:29
  It's
• 4:30
  just
• 4:30
  this
• 4:31
  unknown
• 4:31
  fact
• 4:31
  by
• 4:32
  people
• 4:32
  maybe,
• 4:32
  who
• 4:32
  aren't.
• 4:34
  Who
• 4:34
  haven't
• 4:34
  traveled
• 4:34
  to
• 4:35
  Africa
• 4:35
  much
• 4:35
  or
• 4:36
  have
• 4:36
  traveled
• 4:36
  to
• 4:36
  different
• 4:37
  parts
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  Africa.
• 4:38
  But
• 4:38
  when
• 4:38
  we're
• 4:39
  talking
• 4:39
  southern
• 4:39
  Africa
• 4:40
  and
• 4:40
  Zimbabwe
• 4:41
  specifically,
• 4:42
  our
• 4:42
  cultures
• 4:42
  are
• 4:43
  very
• 4:43
  different
• 4:44
  and
• 4:44
  very
• 4:44
  similar.
• 4:45
  I'll
• 4:46
  say
• 4:46
  that
• 4:46
  again.
• 4:46
  Our
• 4:46
  cultures
• 4:47
  are
• 4:47
  very
• 4:47
  similar.
• 4:48
  Very
• 4:48
  similar
• 4:48
  to
• 4:48
  the
• 4:49
  uk,
• 4:49
  but,
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  know,
• 4:50
  Africa
• 4:50
  is
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  huge
• 4:51
  place.
• 4:51
  I
• 4:51
  think
• 4:51
  we
• 4:52
  can
• 4:52
  lump
• 4:52
  people
• 4:53
  into.
• 4:53
  Oh,
• 4:53
  they're
• 4:53
  from
• 4:54
  Africa,
• 4:54
  but
• 4:54
  I've
• 4:55
  been
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  Kenya
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  Tanzania.
• 4:56
  They
• 4:56
  are,
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  imagine,
• 4:58
  like,
• 4:59
  very,
• 4:59
  very
• 4:59
  different
• 5:00
  countries
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  Zimbabwe.
• 5:02
  Very,
• 5:02
  very
• 5:03
  different.
• 5:03
  Yes.
• 5:04
  Okay.
• 5:04
  So
• 5:04
  what
• 5:05
  brought
• 5:05
  you
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  UK?
• 5:05
  You
• 5:06
  said
• 5:06
  you
• 5:06
  moved
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  UK
• 5:06
  at
• 5:07
  17.
• 5:07
  What
• 5:08
  made
• 5:08
  you
• 5:08
  come
• 5:09
  here?
• 5:09
  Was
• 5:09
  it
• 5:09
  family?
• 5:09
  Was
• 5:10
  it
• 5:10
  work?
• 5:10
  What
• 5:10
  was
• 5:11
  going
• 5:11
  on?
• 5:11
  Yeah,
• 5:12
  it
• 5:12
  was
• 5:12
  actually
• 5:12
  family.
• 5:13
  My
• 5:13
  mom
• 5:13
  passed
• 5:14
  away
• 5:14
  and
• 5:14
  my
• 5:14
  older
• 5:15
  sister
• 5:15
  became
• 5:15
  our
• 5:15
  guardian.
• 5:16
  So
• 5:16
  I
• 5:16
  was
• 5:16
  17
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  all
• 5:17
  my
• 5:17
  sisters
• 5:18
  were
• 5:18
  much
• 5:18
  younger
• 5:18
  than
• 5:19
  me.
• 5:19
  And
• 5:19
  so
• 5:19
  part
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  for
• 5:20
  Will
• 5:20
  was
• 5:21
  that
• 5:21
  we
• 5:21
  were
• 5:21
  going
• 5:22
  to
• 5:22
  live
• 5:22
  with
• 5:22
  her,
• 5:23
  with
• 5:23
  my
• 5:23
  sister,
• 5:23
  and
• 5:23
  she
• 5:24
  was
• 5:24
  already
• 5:24
  in
• 5:24
  England.
• 5:25
  She
• 5:25
  had
• 5:26
  been
• 5:26
  to
• 5:26
  university
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  then
• 5:27
  she'd
• 5:28
  started
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  job.
• 5:29
  So
• 5:29
  we
• 5:29
  all
• 5:29
  came
• 5:29
  over
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  she
• 5:31
  became
• 5:31
  our
• 5:32
  guardian,
• 5:32
  as
• 5:33
  it
• 5:33
  were.
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  Mean,
• 5:34
  obviously
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  was
• 5:34
  only
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  year
• 5:35
  from
• 5:35
  being
• 5:35
  18,
• 5:36
  so
• 5:36
  I've
• 5:36
  kind
• 5:36
  of
• 5:36
  lived
• 5:37
  my
• 5:37
  own
• 5:38
  life
• 5:38
  since
• 5:38
  then.
• 5:39
  But
• 5:39
  it
• 5:39
  was
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  best
• 5:40
  decision,
• 5:41
  the
• 5:42
  best
• 5:42
  thing
• 5:42
  my
• 5:42
  mom
• 5:42
  put
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  place,
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  best
• 5:43
  decision
• 5:44
  ever
• 5:44
  made.
• 5:45
  Because
• 5:45
  all
• 5:45
  our
• 5:45
  lives
• 5:46
  have
• 5:46
  just
• 5:46
  been
• 5:46
  spectacular
• 5:47
  because
• 5:47
  of
• 5:47
  it.
• 5:48
  I
• 5:48
  found
• 5:49
  England
• 5:49
  again
• 5:50
  because
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  similarities.
• 5:51
  It
• 5:52
  feels
• 5:52
  like
• 5:52
  home.
• 5:53
  I've
• 5:54
  always
• 5:54
  felt
• 5:54
  very
• 5:55
  welcome.
• 5:56
  Like
• 5:56
  I
• 5:57
  said,
• 5:57
  I
• 5:57
  live
• 5:57
  in
• 5:57
  Yorkshire
• 5:58
  and
• 5:58
  you
• 5:59
  would
• 5:59
  assume,
• 6:00
  or
• 6:00
  at
• 6:00
  least
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  assumption
• 6:01
  sometimes
• 6:01
  when
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  say
• 6:02
  I'm
• 6:02
  from
• 6:02
  Yorkshire,
• 6:02
  people
• 6:03
  will
• 6:03
  think
• 6:03
  that
• 6:03
  it's
• 6:04
  not
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  place
• 6:04
  where
• 6:05
  I
• 6:06
  would
• 6:06
  be
• 6:06
  welcome
• 6:07
  or
• 6:07
  comfortable.
• 6:07
  But
• 6:08
  I've
• 6:08
  stayed
• 6:08
  here
• 6:08
  for
• 6:08
  two
• 6:08
  decades
• 6:09
  because
• 6:09
  I've
• 6:10
  always
• 6:10
  felt
• 6:10
  it.
• 6:11
  My
• 6:11
  kids
• 6:11
  have
• 6:11
  grown
• 6:11
  up,
• 6:11
  they've
• 6:12
  gone
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  school
• 6:12
  here.
• 6:13
  My
• 6:13
  daughter's
• 6:13
  now
• 6:14
  working
• 6:14
  locally.
• 6:15
  The
• 6:16
  thought
• 6:16
  of
• 6:16
  London
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  her,
• 6:18
  why
• 6:18
  would
• 6:19
  I.
• 6:20
  So
• 6:20
  for
• 6:20
  me,
• 6:20
  it
• 6:21
  was
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  best
• 6:21
  thing
• 6:21
  ever.
• 6:22
  Best
• 6:22
  decision
• 6:22
  ever.
• 6:23
  Definitely.
• 6:23
  I
• 6:24
  love
• 6:24
  that.
• 6:24
  So
• 6:24
  you
• 6:24
  came
• 6:24
  to
• 6:25
  London,
• 6:25
  Huge
• 6:26
  life
• 6:26
  shift
• 6:26
  in
• 6:27
  many,
• 6:27
  many
• 6:27
  areas
• 6:27
  of
• 6:28
  your
• 6:28
  life.
• 6:28
  A
• 6:28
  big
• 6:29
  step.
• 6:30
  How
• 6:30
  did
• 6:30
  you
• 6:30
  get
• 6:31
  from
• 6:31
  being
• 6:31
  there,
• 6:31
  coming
• 6:32
  as
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  17
• 6:33
  year
• 6:33
  old
• 6:34
  into
• 6:34
  the
• 6:35
  UK
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  working
• 6:37
  in
• 6:37
  weddings?
• 6:38
  Where's
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  gap?
• 6:38
  What's
• 6:39
  missing
• 6:39
  there?
• 6:40
  So
• 6:40
  I
• 6:40
  think
• 6:40
  the
• 6:41
  gap
• 6:41
  is
• 6:41
  filled
• 6:41
  quite
• 6:42
  easily
• 6:42
  because
• 6:42
  my
• 6:43
  first
• 6:43
  job
• 6:43
  was
• 6:43
  with
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  local
• 6:43
  council
• 6:44
  and
• 6:44
  I
• 6:44
  was
• 6:45
  a
• 6:45
  housing
• 6:45
  officer.
• 6:46
  And
• 6:46
  at
• 6:46
  the
• 6:47
  time
• 6:47
  when
• 6:47
  you
• 6:47
  worked
• 6:48
  for
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  council
• 6:49
  on
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  Friday,
• 6:49
  you
• 6:50
  would
• 6:50
  get
• 6:50
  first
• 6:51
  dibs,
• 6:51
  as
• 6:51
  it
• 6:52
  were,
• 6:52
  for
• 6:52
  jobs.
• 6:53
  And
• 6:53
  because
• 6:53
  I
• 6:53
  used
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  drive
• 6:54
  a
• 6:54
  lot
• 6:54
  as
• 6:54
  a
• 6:54
  housing
• 6:55
  officer
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  I
• 6:56
  hate
• 6:56
  driving,
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  would
• 6:57
  always
• 6:58
  be
• 6:58
  on
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  lookout
• 6:59
  for
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  job
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  was
• 7:00
  just
• 7:00
  less.
• 7:01
  That
• 7:01
  required
• 7:01
  less
• 7:02
  driving
• 7:02
  and
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  job
• 7:03
  came
• 7:03
  up
• 7:03
  for
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  registrar.
• 7:05
  And
• 7:06
  with
• 7:06
  what
• 7:06
  it
• 7:06
  was
• 7:06
  looking
• 7:07
  for,
• 7:07
  as
• 7:07
  far
• 7:07
  as
• 7:07
  being
• 7:08
  able
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  speak
• 7:08
  publicly,
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  qualifications
• 7:10
  you
• 7:10
  needed,
• 7:12
  it
• 7:12
  all
• 7:12
  seems
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  align
• 7:13
  perfectly,
• 7:14
  except
• 7:14
  I
• 7:15
  had
• 7:15
  no
• 7:15
  experience.
• 7:16
  So
• 7:16
  I
• 7:16
  just
• 7:16
  thought
• 7:16
  again,
• 7:17
  shooting
• 7:17
  my
• 7:17
  shot,
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  thought
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  would
• 7:18
  just
• 7:19
  apply,
• 7:19
  applied,
• 7:20
  went
• 7:20
  for
• 7:20
  an
• 7:20
  interview
• 7:21
  and
• 7:22
  10
• 7:22
  years
• 7:22
  in
• 7:23
  that
• 7:23
  role,
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  rest
• 7:23
  is
• 7:23
  history.
• 7:25
  So
• 7:25
  became
• 7:25
  a
• 7:26
  registrar,
• 7:27
  did
• 7:27
  weddings
• 7:27
  for
• 7:28
  10
• 7:28
  years.
• 7:29
  The
• 7:29
  last
• 7:29
  five
• 7:29
  years
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  was
• 7:30
  only
• 7:30
  doing
• 7:30
  weddings
• 7:31
  rather
• 7:31
  than
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  birth
• 7:32
  and
• 7:32
  death
• 7:32
  registrations
• 7:34
  because
• 7:34
  I
• 7:34
  just
• 7:35
  had
• 7:36
  this
• 7:36
  knack
• 7:36
  for
• 7:37
  it.
• 7:37
  I
• 7:37
  was
• 7:37
  just
• 7:37
  really
• 7:38
  good
• 7:38
  at
• 7:39
  being
• 7:39
  able
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  present
• 7:41
  what
• 7:41
  should
• 7:41
  be
• 7:42
  a
• 7:42
  really
• 7:42
  boring,
• 7:43
  standard
• 7:44
  legalized
• 7:44
  ceremony,
• 7:45
  but
• 7:45
  use
• 7:46
  my
• 7:46
  personality
• 7:46
  to
• 7:47
  still
• 7:47
  make
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  couple
• 7:48
  feel
• 7:48
  like.
• 7:49
  I'm
• 7:49
  glad
• 7:49
  we
• 7:50
  got
• 7:50
  Vim
• 7:51
  as
• 7:51
  our
• 7:51
  registrar.
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  know
• 7:52
  we
• 7:52
  had
• 7:52
  no
• 7:52
  choice,
• 7:53
  but
• 7:53
  I'm
• 7:54
  glad
• 7:54
  she's
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  one
• 7:54
  who
• 7:54
  turned
• 7:55
  up
• 7:55
  because
• 7:56
  our
• 7:56
  ceremony
• 7:56
  just
• 7:57
  sounded
• 7:58
  lighter,
• 7:58
  brighter.
• 8:00
  I'll
• 8:00
  try
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  make
• 8:00
  jokes
• 8:01
  if
• 8:01
  I
• 8:01
  can
• 8:01
  because
• 8:01
  I
• 8:02
  have
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  thing
• 8:02
  where
• 8:02
  I
• 8:02
  can
• 8:03
  pick
• 8:03
  up
• 8:03
  on
• 8:03
  people's
• 8:04
  energy
• 8:04
  quite
• 8:04
  quickly.
• 8:05
  So
• 8:05
  if
• 8:06
  they
• 8:06
  make
• 8:06
  a
• 8:06
  joke,
• 8:07
  as
• 8:07
  when
• 8:08
  I
• 8:08
  walk
• 8:08
  in
• 8:08
  if
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  bridegroom
• 8:10
  or
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  groom
• 8:10
  and
• 8:10
  groom,
• 8:10
  whatever
• 8:11
  it
• 8:11
  is,
• 8:11
  makes
• 8:11
  a
• 8:12
  joke,
• 8:12
  I
• 8:12
  kind
• 8:13
  of
• 8:13
  can
• 8:13
  tell
• 8:13
  what
• 8:13
  their
• 8:14
  humor
• 8:14
  is
• 8:14
  going
• 8:14
  to
• 8:14
  be
• 8:14
  like.
• 8:15
  So
• 8:15
  even
• 8:15
  though
• 8:16
  I
• 8:16
  can't
• 8:16
  veer
• 8:16
  from
• 8:17
  the.
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  couldn't
• 8:17
  veer
• 8:18
  from
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  legalized
• 8:19
  ceremony.
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  could
• 8:20
  then
• 8:20
  insert
• 8:21
  my
• 8:21
  own
• 8:22
  jokes
• 8:22
  based
• 8:23
  on
• 8:23
  what
• 8:24
  their
• 8:24
  humor
• 8:24
  was
• 8:25
  and
• 8:25
  it
• 8:25
  would
• 8:25
  usually
• 8:26
  play
• 8:26
  really
• 8:27
  well,
• 8:27
  play
• 8:27
  out
• 8:27
  really
• 8:28
  well.
• 8:28
  So
• 8:28
  that's
• 8:29
  it.
• 8:29
  So
• 8:30
  10
• 8:30
  years
• 8:30
  doing
• 8:30
  that
• 8:31
  and
• 8:31
  then
• 8:31
  heard
• 8:32
  about
• 8:32
  wedding
• 8:32
  celebrency
• 8:33
  and
• 8:33
  just
• 8:33
  thought
• 8:34
  that
• 8:34
  sounds
• 8:35
  like
• 8:35
  a
• 8:36
  job
• 8:36
  that
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  made
• 8:36
  for
• 8:37
  me
• 8:37
  because
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  means
• 8:38
  one,
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  can
• 8:39
  do
• 8:39
  anything,
• 8:40
  I
• 8:40
  can
• 8:40
  say
• 8:40
  anything,
• 8:41
  I
• 8:41
  can
• 8:41
  infuse
• 8:42
  my
• 8:42
  entire
• 8:43
  personality
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  then
• 8:44
  use
• 8:45
  their
• 8:45
  personality
• 8:46
  completely
• 8:46
  to
• 8:47
  bring
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  ceremony
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  life.
• 8:48
  So
• 8:49
  it
• 8:49
  did
• 8:49
  take
• 8:49
  me
• 8:50
  a
• 8:50
  while,
• 8:50
  but
• 8:50
  here
• 8:50
  I
• 8:51
  am
• 8:51
  four
• 8:51
  years
• 8:52
  in
• 8:52
  again,
• 8:53
  best
• 8:53
  decision
• 8:53
  ever.
• 8:54
  Because
• 8:55
  yeah,
• 8:55
  business
• 8:56
  is
• 8:56
  good.
• 8:57
  Business
• 8:57
  is
• 8:57
  good.
• 8:57
  Becca.
• 8:58
  I'm
• 8:58
  really
• 8:58
  pleased
• 8:59
  to
• 8:59
  hear
• 8:59
  it.
• 8:59
  And
• 8:59
  it's
• 8:59
  interesting,
• 9:00
  isn't
• 9:00
  it?
• 9:00
  Because
• 9:00
  you'll
• 9:01
  know,
• 9:01
  particularly
• 9:01
  in
• 9:01
  the
• 9:02
  celebrant
• 9:02
  world,
• 9:02
  sometimes
• 9:03
  there's
• 9:03
  a
• 9:03
  bit
• 9:03
  of
• 9:03
  beef
• 9:04
  between
• 9:04
  registrars
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  celebrants.
• 9:05
  There's
• 9:06
  a
• 9:06
  bit
• 9:06
  of
• 9:06
  a
• 9:06
  misunderstanding.
• 9:07
  Sometimes
• 9:08
  they
• 9:08
  don't
• 9:08
  like
• 9:08
  each
• 9:09
  other.
• 9:09
  Well,
• 9:09
  you
• 9:10
  have
• 9:10
  that
• 9:10
  unique
• 9:11
  experience
• 9:11
  that
• 9:12
  you've
• 9:12
  lived
• 9:12
  both.
• 9:13
  So
• 9:14
  what
• 9:14
  do
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  think
• 9:14
  are
• 9:14
  some
• 9:15
  of
• 9:15
  the
• 9:15
  key
• 9:15
  differences
• 9:16
  between
• 9:17
  being
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  registrar
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  being
• 9:18
  an
• 9:18
  independent
• 9:19
  celebrant?
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  think
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  main
• 9:21
  one
• 9:21
  that
• 9:21
  people
• 9:22
  talk
• 9:22
  about
• 9:22
  is
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  fact
• 9:23
  that
• 9:24
  of
• 9:24
  course
• 9:24
  it's
• 9:25
  a
• 9:25
  legal
• 9:25
  ceremony.
• 9:26
  So
• 9:26
  the
• 9:26
  script
• 9:27
  has
• 9:27
  to
• 9:27
  be
• 9:28
  standard,
• 9:29
  the
• 9:29
  wording
• 9:29
  has
• 9:29
  to
• 9:30
  be
• 9:30
  standard.
• 9:31
  And
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  know,
• 9:32
  there's
• 9:32
  no
• 9:33
  personalization
• 9:34
  because
• 9:34
  it
• 9:34
  has
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  be.
• 9:35
  If
• 9:35
  you're
• 9:35
  getting
• 9:35
  legally
• 9:36
  married,
• 9:36
  it
• 9:37
  has
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  be
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  exact
• 9:38
  same
• 9:39
  way
• 9:39
  it's
• 9:40
  been
• 9:40
  set
• 9:40
  up
• 9:40
  by
• 9:40
  the
• 9:40
  government.
• 9:41
  And
• 9:41
  then
• 9:41
  the
• 9:42
  second
• 9:42
  difference
• 9:43
  would
• 9:43
  be
• 9:43
  you
• 9:44
  don't
• 9:44
  get
• 9:44
  to
• 9:44
  meet
• 9:44
  the
• 9:45
  registrar.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  so
• 9:46
  for.
• 9:47
  Just
• 9:47
  because
• 9:47
  you're
• 9:48
  getting
• 9:48
  married
• 9:48
  doesn't
• 9:48
  mean
• 9:49
  you're
• 9:49
  not
• 9:49
  an
• 9:49
  anxious
• 9:49
  person
• 9:50
  or
• 9:50
  it
• 9:50
  doesn't
• 9:50
  make
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  all
• 9:51
  of
• 9:51
  a
• 9:51
  sudden
• 9:52
  have
• 9:52
  this
• 9:53
  courage
• 9:54
  to
• 9:54
  stand
• 9:54
  in
• 9:54
  front
• 9:54
  of
• 9:55
  people,
• 9:55
  even
• 9:55
  if
• 9:55
  it
• 9:55
  is
• 9:56
  your
• 9:56
  family
• 9:56
  and
• 9:56
  friends.
• 9:57
  So
• 9:57
  the
• 9:57
  beauty
• 9:58
  of
• 9:58
  having
• 9:58
  an
• 9:58
  independent
• 9:59
  celebrant
• 9:59
  is
• 10:00
  you
• 10:00
  get
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  choose
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  connect
• 10:01
  with
• 10:01
  that
• 10:02
  person.
• 10:02
  So
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  know,
• 10:03
  on
• 10:03
  the
• 10:03
  day
• 10:04
  that
• 10:04
  person
• 10:04
  is
• 10:04
  holding
• 10:04
  your
• 10:05
  hand,
• 10:05
  as
• 10:05
  it
• 10:05
  were.
• 10:06
  And
• 10:06
  then
• 10:07
  of
• 10:07
  course
• 10:07
  the
• 10:07
  personalization,
• 10:08
  when
• 10:09
  you
• 10:09
  know
• 10:09
  what
• 10:09
  your
• 10:10
  ceremony
• 10:10
  is
• 10:10
  going
• 10:10
  to
• 10:10
  sound
• 10:11
  like,
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  know,
• 10:11
  the
• 10:12
  type
• 10:12
  of
• 10:12
  vibe
• 10:12
  it
• 10:12
  will
• 10:13
  have,
• 10:13
  you
• 10:13
  know,
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  jokes
• 10:14
  it
• 10:14
  will
• 10:15
  have.
• 10:16
  You
• 10:16
  can
• 10:16
  personalize
• 10:17
  the
• 10:17
  vows
• 10:17
  you
• 10:17
  say
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  each
• 10:18
  other
• 10:18
  when
• 10:19
  you
• 10:19
  say
• 10:19
  them,
• 10:19
  how
• 10:20
  you
• 10:20
  say
• 10:20
  them.
• 10:21
  That
• 10:21
  all
• 10:22
  just.
• 10:22
  It
• 10:23
  makes
• 10:23
  it
• 10:23
  a
• 10:23
  no
• 10:23
  brainer
• 10:24
  between
• 10:24
  the
• 10:24
  two.
• 10:24
  The
• 10:25
  differences
• 10:25
  are
• 10:25
  so
• 10:26
  massive
• 10:26
  that
• 10:26
  I
• 10:26
  just,
• 10:27
  I
• 10:27
  just
• 10:27
  wish
• 10:28
  everyone
• 10:28
  knew
• 10:29
  what
• 10:29
  a
• 10:29
  celebrant
• 10:29
  does,
• 10:30
  not
• 10:30
  just
• 10:30
  me,
• 10:30
  just
• 10:31
  what
• 10:31
  a
• 10:31
  celebrant
• 10:31
  does
• 10:32
  and
• 10:32
  uses
• 10:33
  us.
• 10:33
  Because
• 10:34
  it
• 10:34
  is
• 10:34
  just.
• 10:34
  Yeah,
• 10:35
  like
• 10:35
  I
• 10:35
  said,
• 10:35
  no
• 10:35
  brainer.
• 10:36
  For
• 10:36
  so
• 10:36
  many
• 10:36
  reasons.
• 10:37
  Effy.
• 10:37
  And
• 10:37
  although
• 10:38
  it's
• 10:38
  a
• 10:38
  no
• 10:38
  brainer
• 10:38
  in
• 10:39
  terms
• 10:39
  of
• 10:39
  personality
• 10:40
  and
• 10:40
  what
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  can
• 10:41
  do
• 10:41
  and
• 10:41
  for
• 10:41
  couples
• 10:42
  actually
• 10:43
  from
• 10:43
  a
• 10:44
  personal
• 10:44
  point
• 10:44
  of
• 10:45
  view
• 10:45
  it
• 10:45
  was
• 10:46
  probably
• 10:46
  quite
• 10:46
  elite
• 10:47
  because
• 10:47
  a
• 10:47
  registrar
• 10:48
  was
• 10:48
  presumably,
• 10:49
  you
• 10:49
  know,
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  solid
• 10:49
  job
• 10:50
  with
• 10:50
  a
• 10:50
  solid
• 10:50
  income.
• 10:51
  Being
• 10:51
  a
• 10:52
  celebrant,
• 10:52
  I
• 10:52
  assume
• 10:53
  you're
• 10:53
  self
• 10:53
  employed
• 10:54
  and
• 10:54
  it's
• 10:55
  like.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:55
  so
• 10:55
  actually
• 10:55
  you
• 10:56
  had
• 10:56
  to
• 10:56
  take
• 10:56
  a
• 10:57
  leap
• 10:57
  from
• 10:58
  employment
• 10:59
  to
• 10:59
  self
• 11:00
  employment.
• 11:00
  So
• 11:01
  just
• 11:01
  talk
• 11:01
  me
• 11:01
  through
• 11:01
  that.
• 11:01
  Did
• 11:02
  that
• 11:02
  happen
• 11:02
  overnight?
• 11:03
  Did
• 11:03
  you
• 11:03
  kind
• 11:04
  of
• 11:04
  phase
• 11:04
  yourself
• 11:05
  in?
• 11:06
  Was
• 11:06
  it
• 11:06
  you
• 11:06
  got
• 11:06
  to
• 11:06
  stop
• 11:07
  being
• 11:07
  a
• 11:07
  registrar
• 11:07
  to
• 11:07
  become
• 11:08
  a
• 11:08
  celebrant.
• 11:08
  Or
• 11:08
  you
• 11:08
  could
• 11:08
  do
• 11:09
  a
• 11:09
  bit
• 11:09
  of
• 11:09
  both.
• 11:09
  Like
• 11:09
  just
• 11:10
  talk
• 11:10
  me
• 11:10
  through
• 11:10
  that.
• 11:10
  Because
• 11:10
  I
• 11:11
  think
• 11:11
  quite
• 11:12
  often
• 11:12
  that's
• 11:12
  a
• 11:12
  big
• 11:12
  leap
• 11:13
  for
• 11:13
  people
• 11:13
  when
• 11:13
  they're
• 11:13
  in
• 11:13
  a
• 11:13
  full
• 11:14
  time
• 11:14
  job,
• 11:14
  whether
• 11:14
  that's
• 11:15
  in
• 11:15
  weddings
• 11:15
  or
• 11:15
  not
• 11:15
  to
• 11:16
  try
• 11:16
  and
• 11:16
  go,
• 11:16
  no,
• 11:16
  but
• 11:16
  I
• 11:17
  really
• 11:17
  want
• 11:17
  to
• 11:17
  do
• 11:17
  this
• 11:17
  over
• 11:18
  there.
• 11:18
  But
• 11:18
  that
• 11:18
  feels
• 11:19
  very
• 11:19
  scary.
• 11:20
  Thank
• 11:20
  you
• 11:20
  so
• 11:20
  much
• 11:20
  for
• 11:21
  acknowledging
• 11:21
  it.
• 11:21
  Because
• 11:21
  I
• 11:21
  don't
• 11:22
  really
• 11:22
  talk
• 11:22
  about
• 11:22
  it.
• 11:23
  I'm
• 11:23
  such
• 11:23
  a
• 11:23
  positive
• 11:24
  person.
• 11:25
  That's
• 11:25
  that
• 11:25
  I've.
• 11:25
  I
• 11:26
  tend
• 11:26
  to
• 11:27
  kind
• 11:27
  of.
• 11:28
  I
• 11:28
  don't
• 11:28
  talk
• 11:28
  about
• 11:29
  those
• 11:29
  first
• 11:29
  two
• 11:29
  years
• 11:30
  and
• 11:30
  they
• 11:30
  were
• 11:30
  the
• 11:30
  hardest
• 11:31
  of
• 11:31
  my
• 11:31
  life
• 11:32
  as
• 11:32
  far
• 11:32
  as
• 11:33
  income
• 11:34
  and
• 11:34
  employability
• 11:36
  because
• 11:36
  you
• 11:36
  couldn't
• 11:37
  be.
• 11:38
  So
• 11:38
  all
• 11:38
  the
• 11:38
  way
• 11:38
  the
• 11:39
  register
• 11:39
  offices
• 11:39
  are
• 11:39
  set
• 11:40
  up
• 11:40
  is
• 11:40
  the
• 11:40
  superintendent
• 11:41
  registrar
• 11:41
  is
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  boss,
• 11:43
  as
• 11:43
  it
• 11:43
  were
• 11:43
  and
• 11:43
  she
• 11:44
  makes
• 11:44
  decisions
• 11:44
  on
• 11:45
  whether
• 11:45
  someone
• 11:45
  can
• 11:46
  leave
• 11:46
  a
• 11:46
  job
• 11:46
  and
• 11:46
  maybe
• 11:47
  work
• 11:47
  part
• 11:47
  time
• 11:47
  and
• 11:48
  then
• 11:48
  become
• 11:48
  a
• 11:48
  celebrant.
• 11:49
  My
• 11:49
  particular
• 11:50
  registrar
• 11:50
  office
• 11:51
  and
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  registrar
• 11:51
  I
• 11:52
  worked
• 11:52
  under,
• 11:53
  those
• 11:53
  two
• 11:54
  things
• 11:55
  are
• 11:55
  conflict
• 11:55
  of
• 11:56
  interest
• 11:56
  as
• 11:56
  well
• 11:56
  as
• 11:56
  she's
• 11:57
  concerned.
• 11:58
  She
• 11:58
  doesn't
• 11:58
  want
• 11:58
  us
• 11:59
  going
• 11:59
  out
• 11:59
  as
• 11:59
  registrars,
• 12:00
  having
• 12:01
  maybe
• 12:01
  the
• 12:01
  guests
• 12:02
  really
• 12:02
  like
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  ceremony
• 12:04
  and
• 12:04
  then
• 12:05
  future
• 12:05
  couples
• 12:06
  not
• 12:06
  going
• 12:06
  to
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  registrar
• 12:07
  office
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  deciding
• 12:08
  to
• 12:08
  have
• 12:08
  a
• 12:08
  celebrant
• 12:09
  led
• 12:09
  ceremony.
• 12:10
  So
• 12:10
  you
• 12:10
  can't
• 12:11
  be
• 12:11
  a
• 12:11
  celebrant
• 12:12
  and
• 12:12
  a
• 12:12
  registrar.
• 12:13
  So
• 12:13
  when
• 12:13
  I
• 12:14
  approached
• 12:14
  her
• 12:14
  with,
• 12:14
  you
• 12:15
  know,
• 12:15
  my
• 12:15
  idea
• 12:15
  and
• 12:15
  this
• 12:16
  was
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  information
• 12:16
  she
• 12:17
  gave
• 12:17
  me,
• 12:17
  it
• 12:17
  was
• 12:18
  at
• 12:18
  that
• 12:18
  point
• 12:18
  that
• 12:19
  I
• 12:19
  had
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  make
• 12:19
  a
• 12:19
  decision
• 12:20
  to
• 12:20
  do.
• 12:20
  I
• 12:21
  just
• 12:21
  believe
• 12:22
  that
• 12:22
  I
• 12:22
  will
• 12:22
  find
• 12:22
  my
• 12:23
  couples,
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  will
• 12:23
  find
• 12:24
  my
• 12:24
  tribe,
• 12:24
  as
• 12:25
  it
• 12:25
  were
• 12:25
  and
• 12:26
  take
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  leap
• 12:26
  of
• 12:26
  faith
• 12:27
  and
• 12:27
  leave
• 12:27
  a
• 12:28
  solid
• 12:28
  job.
• 12:29
  Or
• 12:29
  do
• 12:29
  I,
• 12:30
  you
• 12:31
  know,
• 12:31
  or
• 12:31
  do
• 12:31
  I
• 12:31
  stay
• 12:32
  in
• 12:32
  employment
• 12:34
  because
• 12:34
  I
• 12:34
  am
• 12:35
  still
• 12:35
  fortunate,
• 12:35
  I'm
• 12:35
  still
• 12:35
  part
• 12:36
  of
• 12:36
  weddings
• 12:36
  in
• 12:36
  a
• 12:36
  way.
• 12:37
  I'm
• 12:37
  part
• 12:37
  of
• 12:37
  ceremonies
• 12:37
  in
• 12:38
  a
• 12:38
  way.
• 12:38
  It
• 12:38
  might
• 12:39
  not
• 12:39
  be
• 12:39
  my
• 12:39
  full
• 12:40
  creative
• 12:42
  Desire
• 12:42
  that
• 12:42
  I'm
• 12:43
  fulfilling,
• 12:43
  but
• 12:43
  I'm
• 12:44
  still
• 12:44
  in
• 12:44
  it.
• 12:44
  But
• 12:44
  I
• 12:45
  just
• 12:45
  thought,
• 12:46
  I've
• 12:46
  waited
• 12:46
  long
• 12:47
  enough
• 12:47
  and
• 12:48
  life
• 12:48
  has
• 12:48
  been
• 12:48
  good
• 12:49
  to
• 12:49
  me
• 12:49
  generally,
• 12:50
  so
• 12:50
  why
• 12:51
  not
• 12:51
  just,
• 12:52
  yeah,
• 12:53
  better
• 12:53
  myself?
• 12:54
  And
• 12:54
  it
• 12:54
  was
• 12:55
  around
• 12:55
  Covid,
• 12:56
  So
• 12:56
  again,
• 12:57
  ceremonies
• 12:57
  had
• 12:58
  stopped,
• 12:58
  weddings
• 12:58
  had
• 12:58
  stopped.
• 12:59
  So
• 12:59
  I
• 12:59
  had
• 12:59
  a
• 13:00
  lot
• 13:00
  of
• 13:00
  time
• 13:00
  to
• 13:00
  really
• 13:01
  think
• 13:01
  about
• 13:01
  this
• 13:01
  decision.
• 13:02
  So.
• 13:02
  And
• 13:03
  that's
• 13:03
  what
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  did.
• 13:03
  I
• 13:04
  looked
• 13:04
  up
• 13:04
  some
• 13:04
  training,
• 13:05
  found
• 13:05
  a
• 13:05
  great
• 13:06
  training
• 13:07
  company
• 13:07
  they
• 13:07
  call
• 13:08
  the
• 13:08
  Celebrants
• 13:08
  Collective.
• 13:09
  I'll
• 13:09
  shout
• 13:10
  their
• 13:10
  names
• 13:10
  from
• 13:10
  the
• 13:11
  rooftops.
• 13:12
  The
• 13:12
  training
• 13:12
  was
• 13:12
  all
• 13:13
  virtual
• 13:13
  because
• 13:13
  of
• 13:14
  COVID
• 13:14
  and
• 13:15
  did
• 13:15
  my
• 13:15
  training,
• 13:16
  got
• 13:16
  certified,
• 13:17
  gave
• 13:18
  notice,
• 13:19
  so
• 13:19
  resigned
• 13:20
  from
• 13:20
  my
• 13:20
  job
• 13:20
  and
• 13:20
  the
• 13:21
  rest
• 13:21
  is
• 13:21
  history.
• 13:22
  This
• 13:22
  is
• 13:22
  it.
• 13:23
  Yeah.
• 13:23
  And
• 13:23
  I
• 13:23
  think
• 13:23
  it's
• 13:24
  really
• 13:24
  important
• 13:24
  we
• 13:24
  acknowledge
• 13:25
  that
• 13:25
  because
• 13:25
  it's
• 13:25
  really
• 13:25
  easy
• 13:26
  for
• 13:26
  us
• 13:26
  to
• 13:26
  have
• 13:26
  a
• 13:26
  conversation
• 13:27
  and
• 13:27
  look
• 13:27
  back
• 13:27
  and
• 13:28
  go,
• 13:28
  I'm
• 13:28
  really
• 13:28
  glad
• 13:28
  I
• 13:28
  did
• 13:28
  it.
• 13:29
  But
• 13:29
  in
• 13:29
  that
• 13:29
  moment,
• 13:30
  and
• 13:30
  there'll
• 13:30
  be
• 13:30
  people
• 13:30
  listening
• 13:31
  who
• 13:31
  are
• 13:31
  right
• 13:31
  in
• 13:32
  that
• 13:32
  moment,
• 13:32
  it's
• 13:33
  really
• 13:33
  difficult.
• 13:34
  It's
• 13:34
  really
• 13:34
  hard
• 13:35
  to
• 13:35
  know
• 13:35
  what
• 13:35
  to
• 13:36
  do.
• 13:36
  And
• 13:37
  it's
• 13:38
  tough.
• 13:38
  And
• 13:38
  I
• 13:38
  think
• 13:38
  it's
• 13:38
  important
• 13:39
  that
• 13:39
  we
• 13:39
  talk
• 13:39
  about
• 13:39
  those
• 13:40
  tough
• 13:40
  times
• 13:40
  as
• 13:41
  well
• 13:41
  as
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  good
• 13:41
  things.
• 13:42
  So
• 13:42
  you
• 13:42
  did
• 13:43
  it,
• 13:43
  you
• 13:43
  left
• 13:43
  your
• 13:43
  job,
• 13:44
  you
• 13:44
  did
• 13:45
  your
• 13:45
  training.
• 13:46
  Like,
• 13:46
  how
• 13:46
  did
• 13:47
  you
• 13:47
  get
• 13:47
  your
• 13:47
  first
• 13:47
  booking?
• 13:48
  Like,
• 13:48
  where,
• 13:48
  where
• 13:48
  did
• 13:48
  it
• 13:49
  come
• 13:49
  from?
• 13:49
  So
• 13:50
  I
• 13:50
  did
• 13:50
  my
• 13:50
  job
• 13:50
  and
• 13:51
  I
• 13:51
  found.
• 13:51
  So.
• 13:52
  So
• 13:52
  next
• 13:52
  thing
• 13:52
  I
• 13:52
  needed,
• 13:53
  I
• 13:53
  thought
• 13:53
  was
• 13:53
  obviously
• 13:54
  a
• 13:54
  website
• 13:54
  because
• 13:54
  how
• 13:55
  are
• 13:55
  people
• 13:55
  going
• 13:55
  to
• 13:55
  find
• 13:55
  me?
• 13:56
  Found
• 13:56
  this,
• 13:56
  really
• 13:57
  found
• 13:58
  something
• 13:58
  online,
• 13:58
  a
• 13:59
  really
• 13:59
  cheap
• 13:59
  website
• 13:59
  builder.
• 14:00
  It's
• 14:00
  built
• 14:01
  by
• 14:01
  students,
• 14:01
  so
• 14:02
  you
• 14:02
  pay
• 14:02
  a
• 14:03
  nominal
• 14:03
  amount,
• 14:06
  built
• 14:06
  this
• 14:06
  website,
• 14:07
  left
• 14:08
  it
• 14:08
  parked,
• 14:09
  and
• 14:09
  then
• 14:10
  just
• 14:10
  started
• 14:10
  going
• 14:11
  out
• 14:11
  to
• 14:11
  different
• 14:11
  venues
• 14:12
  in
• 14:12
  the
• 14:12
  area.
• 14:13
  So
• 14:13
  there
• 14:13
  are
• 14:13
  lots
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  venues
• 14:14
  where
• 14:14
  that
• 14:14
  I
• 14:15
  would
• 14:15
  know
• 14:15
  as
• 14:15
  a
• 14:15
  registrar
• 14:16
  in
• 14:16
  my
• 14:16
  area.
• 14:17
  And
• 14:17
  of
• 14:17
  course,
• 14:18
  because
• 14:18
  they're
• 14:18
  licensed
• 14:19
  for
• 14:19
  registrars,
• 14:20
  I
• 14:20
  knew
• 14:21
  that
• 14:21
  it
• 14:21
  was,
• 14:21
  you
• 14:22
  know,
• 14:22
  it's
• 14:22
  a
• 14:22
  huge
• 14:23
  ask
• 14:23
  to
• 14:24
  say
• 14:24
  if
• 14:25
  anyone

  them
• 14:36
  my
• 14:36
  details
• 14:37
  now.
• 14:37
  I
• 14:37
  knocked
• 14:38
  on
• 14:38
  so
• 14:38
  many
• 14:39
  doors
• 14:39
  and
• 14:39
  made.
• 14:41
  Yeah.
• 14:41
  And
• 14:41
  just
• 14:41
  those
• 14:42
  relationships
• 14:42
  that
• 14:42
  I'd
• 14:43
  cultivated
• 14:44
  over
• 14:44
  those
• 14:44
  years
• 14:45
  are
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  ones
• 14:45
  that
• 14:46
  I
• 14:46
  went
• 14:46
  and,
• 14:46
  you
• 14:46
  know,
• 14:47
  and
• 14:48
  hoped
• 14:49
  they
• 14:49
  would,
• 14:49
  you
• 14:49
  know,
• 14:50
  come
• 14:50
  to
• 14:50
  fruition,
• 14:51
  that
• 14:51
  they
• 14:51
  would
• 14:52
  help
• 14:52
  me
• 14:52
  out.
• 14:52
  And
• 14:53
  it
• 14:53
  was,
• 14:54
  it
• 14:54
  was
• 14:54
  too
• 14:54
  big
• 14:55
  an
• 14:55
  ask,
• 14:55
  unfortunately,
• 14:56
  because
• 14:57
  as
• 14:57
  much
• 14:57
  as
• 14:58
  you're
• 14:58
  a
• 14:58
  celebrant
• 14:59
  because
• 14:59
  of
• 15:00
  the
• 15:00
  league,
• 15:00
  because
• 15:01
  of
• 15:01
  what
• 15:01
  venues
• 15:02
  have
• 15:02
  to
• 15:02
  pay
• 15:02
  to
• 15:03
  be
• 15:03
  licensed
• 15:03
  for
• 15:03
  registrars,
• 15:05
  they
• 15:05
  just
• 15:06
  feel
• 15:06
  like
• 15:06
  the
• 15:06
  money
• 15:07
  that
• 15:07
  they
• 15:07
  pay
• 15:07
  so
• 15:08
  that
• 15:08
  people
• 15:08
  can
• 15:08
  get
• 15:09
  married
• 15:09
  legally.
• 15:10
  So
• 15:10
  for
• 15:10
  them,
• 15:10
  what
• 15:11
  do
• 15:11
  they
• 15:11
  gain
• 15:11
  from
• 15:11
  having
• 15:12
  a
• 15:12
  celebrant?
• 15:13
  So
• 15:13
  it
• 15:13
  was
• 15:13
  that
• 15:14
  that
• 15:14
  I
• 15:14
  couldn't
• 15:14
  really
• 15:15
  explain
• 15:16
  at
• 15:16
  the
• 15:16
  time.
• 15:17
  I'm
• 15:17
  not
• 15:17
  so
• 15:17
  much
• 15:17
  better
• 15:18
  explaining
• 15:18
  and
• 15:18
  we'll
• 15:19
  talk
• 15:19
  about
• 15:19
  it.
• 15:19
  But
• 15:20
  yeah,
• 15:21
  it
• 15:21
  took
• 15:21
  me
• 15:21
  a
• 15:21
  while
• 15:21
  to
• 15:22
  get
• 15:22
  that
• 15:22
  first
• 15:22
  booking.
• 15:23
  When
• 15:23
  it
• 15:23
  did
• 15:23
  finally
• 15:24
  come,
• 15:24
  it
• 15:24
  had
• 15:25
  come
• 15:25
  just
• 15:25
  from
• 15:25
  Google.
• 15:26
  Someone
• 15:27
  on
• 15:27
  Google
• 15:27
  sent
• 15:28
  me
• 15:28
  an
• 15:28
  email
• 15:29
  saying,
• 15:29
  I've
• 15:29
  just
• 15:30
  seen
• 15:30
  your
• 15:30
  website,
• 15:30
  it's
• 15:31
  come
• 15:31
  up
• 15:31
  but
• 15:31
  the
• 15:31
  inquiry
• 15:32
  form
• 15:32
  isn't
• 15:32
  working.
• 15:34
  I've
• 15:34
  sent
• 15:35
  you
• 15:35
  an
• 15:35
  email
• 15:35
  instead
• 15:36
  because
• 15:36
  you've
• 15:36
  got
• 15:36
  your
• 15:36
  email
• 15:36
  address
• 15:37
  on
• 15:37
  the
• 15:37
  website.
• 15:38
  Are
• 15:38
  you
• 15:38
  available
• 15:39
  to
• 15:39
  do
• 15:39
  our
• 15:39
  wedding
• 15:40
  on
• 15:40
  so
• 15:40
  and
• 15:40
  so
• 15:40
  date?
• 15:41
  I
• 15:41
  was
• 15:41
  like,
• 15:41
  what?
• 15:42
  Wait,
• 15:42
  first
• 15:42
  of
• 15:42
  all,
• 15:43
  what's
• 15:43
  wrong
• 15:43
  with
• 15:43
  the
• 15:44
  inquiry
• 15:44
  form?
• 15:46
  And
• 15:46
  then
• 15:46
  yeah,
• 15:47
  so
• 15:47
  we
• 15:47
  got
• 15:47
  in
• 15:47
  touch,
• 15:47
  they
• 15:48
  got
• 15:48
  in
• 15:48
  touch
• 15:48
  with,
• 15:49
  we
• 15:49
  connected,
• 15:50
  they
• 15:50
  booked
• 15:51
  me
• 15:51
  and
• 15:51
  from
• 15:51
  that
• 15:52
  booking
• 15:52
  they
• 15:53
  just,
• 15:53
  yeah,
• 15:53
  it
• 15:54
  just
• 15:54
  followed
• 15:54
  on
• 15:54
  from
• 15:54
  there.
• 15:55
  I
• 15:56
  mean
• 15:56
  there
• 15:56
  was
• 15:56
  a
• 15:56
  lot
• 15:56
  of
• 15:56
  work
• 15:57
  but
• 15:57
  I
• 15:57
  know
• 15:57
  we
• 15:57
  don't
• 15:57
  have
• 15:57
  time.
• 15:57
  There
• 15:58
  was
• 15:58
  a
• 15:58
  lot
• 15:58
  of
• 15:58
  marketing
• 15:58
  I
• 15:59
  had
• 15:59
  to
• 15:59
  do.
• 15:59
  I
• 15:59
  had
• 15:59
  to
• 16:00
  eventually
• 16:01
  find
• 16:01
  a
• 16:01
  business
• 16:01
  coach,
• 16:02
  I
• 16:02
  to
• 16:02
  eventually
• 16:03
  get
• 16:03
  rid
• 16:03
  of
• 16:03
  that
• 16:04
  website
• 16:04
  that
• 16:04
  wasn't
• 16:04
  working
• 16:05
  and
• 16:05
  upgraded
• 16:05
  and
• 16:06
  invest
• 16:06
  in
• 16:06
  one.
• 16:07
  But
• 16:08
  that's
• 16:08
  all,
• 16:08
  I
• 16:08
  guess
• 16:09
  a
• 16:09
  story
• 16:09
  for
• 16:09
  another
• 16:10
  day.
• 16:10
  Yeah.
• 16:10
  Although
• 16:11
  it's,
• 16:11
  it's
• 16:11
  important
• 16:11
  because
• 16:12
  again
• 16:12
  I
• 16:13
  think
• 16:13
  we
• 16:13
  learn
• 16:13
  from
• 16:14
  those
• 16:14
  mistakes.
• 16:14
  And
• 16:15
  that
• 16:15
  actually
• 16:15
  brings
• 16:15
  me
• 16:15
  on
• 16:15
  to
• 16:15
  my
• 16:16
  next
• 16:16
  question
• 16:16
  around
• 16:17
  what
• 16:17
  mistakes
• 16:17
  have
• 16:18
  you
• 16:18
  made?
• 16:18
  Because
• 16:19
  I
• 16:19
  think
• 16:19
  sometimes
• 16:20
  when
• 16:20
  we
• 16:20
  reflect
• 16:21
  on
• 16:21
  our
• 16:21
  mistakes
• 16:21
  it
• 16:21
  stops
• 16:22
  someone
• 16:22
  else
• 16:22
  making
• 16:22
  them.
• 16:22
  Now
• 16:23
  obviously
• 16:23
  one
• 16:23
  mistake
• 16:24
  was
• 16:24
  your
• 16:24
  website
• 16:24
  inquiry
• 16:25
  form
• 16:25
  wasn't
• 16:25
  working.
• 16:26
  And
• 16:26
  I
• 16:26
  wish
• 16:27
  that
• 16:27
  was
• 16:27
  an
• 16:27
  unusual
• 16:28
  story
• 16:28
  but
• 16:28
  I
• 16:28
  hear
• 16:28
  it
• 16:29
  a
• 16:29
  lot.
• 16:29
  I
• 16:30
  say
• 16:30
  to
• 16:30
  people,
• 16:30
  at
• 16:30
  least
• 16:30
  a
• 16:31
  couple
• 16:31
  of
• 16:31
  times
• 16:31
  a
• 16:31
  year,
• 16:31
  check
• 16:32
  your
• 16:32
  inquiry
• 16:32
  form
• 16:33
  because
• 16:33
  although
• 16:34
  this
• 16:34
  person
• 16:34
  went
• 16:34
  out
• 16:35
  of
• 16:35
  their
• 16:35
  way
• 16:35
  to
• 16:35
  email
• 16:35
  you,
• 16:36
  there
• 16:36
  could
• 16:36
  have
• 16:36
  been
• 16:37
  other
• 16:37
  people
• 16:37
  that
• 16:38
  tried
• 16:38
  and
• 16:38
  just
• 16:39
  never
• 16:39
  got
• 16:39
  in
• 16:40
  touch
• 16:40
  with
• 16:40
  you
• 16:40
  because
• 16:40
  the
• 16:41
  form
• 16:41
  was
• 16:41
  broken
• 16:42
  and
• 16:42
  it's
• 16:42
  such
• 16:43
  a
• 16:43
  simple
• 16:43
  mistake.
• 16:44
  What
• 16:44
  other
• 16:44
  mistakes
• 16:45
  did
• 16:45
  you
• 16:45
  make?
• 16:45
  Are
• 16:45
  there
• 16:45
  things
• 16:46
  you
• 16:46
  look
• 16:46
  back
• 16:46
  and
• 16:46
  you
• 16:46
  think,
• 16:47
  oh,
• 16:47
  I
• 16:47
  wouldn't
• 16:47
  do
• 16:47
  that
• 16:47
  again,
• 16:48
  oh,
• 16:48
  100%
• 16:49
  going
• 16:49
  out
• 16:49
  and
• 16:49
  just
• 16:49
  assuming
• 16:50
  that
• 16:50
  people
• 16:50
  would
• 16:51
  that
• 16:51
  because
• 16:51
  they
• 16:52
  liked
• 16:52
  me
• 16:52
  in
• 16:52
  the
• 16:52
  capacity
• 16:53
  of
• 16:53
  a
• 16:53
  registrar
• 16:55
  that
• 16:55
  these
• 16:55
  venue
• 16:55
  owners
• 16:56
  or
• 16:56
  the
• 16:56
  people
• 16:56
  that
• 16:56
  run
• 16:57
  these
• 16:57
  venues
• 16:57
  would
• 16:58
  happily
• 16:58
  just,
• 16:59
  you
• 16:59
  know,
• 16:59
  help
• 17:00
  me
• 17:00
  business
• 17:00
  wise
• 17:01
  when
• 17:01
  there
• 17:02
  is,
• 17:02
  you
• 17:02
  know,
• 17:02
  it's
• 17:02
  still
• 17:02
  a
• 17:03
  business,
• 17:03
  what
• 17:03
  do
• 17:03
  they
• 17:03
  have
• 17:03
  to
• 17:04
  gain?
• 17:05
  And
• 17:05
  the
• 17:06
  website
• 17:06
  was
• 17:06
  a
• 17:06
  big
• 17:07
  mistake
• 17:07
  besides
• 17:07
  the
• 17:07
  inquiry
• 17:08
  form
• 17:08
  and
• 17:08
  not
• 17:08
  checking
• 17:09
  it,
• 17:09
  trying
• 17:09
  to
• 17:10
  do
• 17:10
  things
• 17:11
  cheaply.
• 17:12
  If
• 17:12
  I
• 17:12
  can
• 17:13
  say
• 17:13
  that
• 17:14
  sometimes
• 17:15
  if
• 17:15
  you're
• 17:15
  selling
• 17:15
  something
• 17:16
  that
• 17:16
  you
• 17:16
  know
• 17:16
  is
• 17:17
  a
• 17:17
  luxury
• 17:17
  to
• 17:17
  most
• 17:18
  people
• 17:18
  because
• 17:18
  it
• 17:18
  is
• 17:18
  when
• 17:19
  you
• 17:19
  hire
• 17:19
  a
• 17:19
  wedding
• 17:19
  celebrant
• 17:20
  to
• 17:20
  a
• 17:20
  certain
• 17:20
  degree
• 17:21
  it
• 17:21
  is
• 17:22
  a
• 17:22
  luxury
• 17:22
  because
• 17:22
  if
• 17:23
  you're
• 17:23
  wanting
• 17:23
  your,
• 17:24
  your
• 17:24
  legal
• 17:25
  ceremony,
• 17:25
  you're
• 17:26
  still
• 17:26
  going
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  go
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  the
• 17:26
  register
• 17:27
  office,
• 17:27
  do
• 17:28
  the
• 17:28
  statutory
• 17:28
  ceremony
• 17:29
  and
• 17:29
  then,
• 17:29
  and
• 17:30
  then
• 17:30
  pay
• 17:30
  your
• 17:30
  wedding
• 17:31
  celebrant
• 17:31
  to
• 17:32
  then
• 17:32
  officiate
• 17:33
  or
• 17:33
  to
• 17:33
  conduct
• 17:34
  your
• 17:34
  ceremony
• 17:34
  elsewhere.
• 17:35
  So
• 17:36
  if
• 17:36
  you're
• 17:37
  expecting
• 17:37
  people
• 17:37
  to
• 17:38
  spend
• 17:38
  money
• 17:38
  for
• 17:38
  a
• 17:39
  service
• 17:39
  that
• 17:39
  is
• 17:40
  luxury,
• 17:41
  then
• 17:41
  how
• 17:41
  are
• 17:42
  you
• 17:42
  not
• 17:43
  investing
• 17:44
  the
• 17:44
  same,
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  know,
• 17:45
  money,
• 17:46
  effort
• 17:47
  into
• 17:48
  something
• 17:48
  that
• 17:48
  you're
• 17:49
  expecting
• 17:49
  them
• 17:49
  to.
• 17:50
  So
• 17:50
  website
• 17:51
  was
• 17:51
  a
• 17:51
  big
• 17:51
  one.
• 17:52
  Business
• 17:52
  coach
• 17:52
  again,
• 17:53
  assuming
• 17:53
  that
• 17:53
  because
• 17:54
  I
• 17:54
  was
• 17:54
  a
• 17:55
  registrar
• 17:55
  that
• 17:55
  I
• 17:55
  knew
• 17:56
  so
• 17:56
  much,
• 17:56
  it
• 17:57
  is
• 17:57
  still
• 17:57
  a
• 17:57
  business
• 17:57
  that
• 17:58
  I'm
• 17:58
  running.
• 17:58
  I've
• 17:58
  been
• 17:58
  employed
• 17:59
  all
• 17:59
  my
• 17:59
  life,
• 17:59
  first
• 18:00
  time
• 18:00
  I've
• 18:00
  ever
• 18:00
  run
• 18:00
  a
• 18:00
  business.
• 18:01
  The
• 18:01
  naivete
• 18:03
  to
• 18:03
  think
• 18:03
  that
• 18:03
  I
• 18:03
  could
• 18:03
  run
• 18:04
  a
• 18:04
  business
• 18:05
  because
• 18:06
  I
• 18:06
  knew
• 18:06
  that
• 18:06
  I
• 18:06
  loved
• 18:07
  English
• 18:07
  literature
• 18:08
  and
• 18:08
  poetry
• 18:08
  and
• 18:09
  loved
• 18:09
  vows
• 18:09
  and
• 18:10
  people
• 18:10
  that's,
• 18:11
  you
• 18:11
  know,
• 18:11
  that's
• 18:11
  beautiful,
• 18:12
  it's
• 18:12
  great,
• 18:12
  it's
• 18:13
  a
• 18:13
  great
• 18:13
  fairy
• 18:13
  tale.
• 18:14
  But
• 18:14
  really,
• 18:15
  business
• 18:16
  wise,
• 18:16
  you
• 18:16
  need
• 18:16
  someone,
• 18:17
  you
• 18:17
  need
• 18:17
  someone
• 18:18
  who's
• 18:18
  a
• 18:18
  coach.
• 18:18
  You
• 18:19
  need
• 18:19
  to
• 18:19
  have
• 18:20
  them,
• 18:20
  not
• 18:20
  just
• 18:21
  for
• 18:21
  the
• 18:21
  first
• 18:21
  month
• 18:21
  or
• 18:22
  two,
• 18:22
  let
• 18:22
  them
• 18:22
  guide
• 18:23
  you.
• 18:23
  They're
• 18:23
  worth
• 18:24
  their
• 18:24
  weight
• 18:24
  in
• 18:25
  gold.
• 18:25
  And
• 18:25
  that's
• 18:26
  where
• 18:26
  we
• 18:26
  come
• 18:26
  to
• 18:26
  how
• 18:27
  we
• 18:27
  connected
• 18:27
  because
• 18:27
  I
• 18:28
  had
• 18:29
  Lena
• 18:30
  de
• 18:30
  la
• 18:30
  Luna
• 18:30
  and
• 18:31
  she
• 18:31
  was
• 18:32
  the
• 18:32
  best
• 18:33
  thing,
• 18:34
  honestly,
• 18:34
  she
• 18:34
  was
• 18:35
  the
• 18:35
  most
• 18:35
  amazing
• 18:36
  thing
• 18:36
  that
• 18:36
  ever
• 18:36
  happened
• 18:37
  to
• 18:37
  me.
• 18:37
  Bumping
• 18:38
  into
• 18:38
  her
• 18:38
  at
• 18:38
  a
• 18:38
  networking
• 18:39
  event
• 18:39
  and
• 18:40
  she's
• 18:40
  one
• 18:41
  half
• 18:41
  of
• 18:41
  a
• 18:41
  photography
• 18:42
  team
• 18:42
  and
• 18:43
  she
• 18:43
  mentioned
• 18:43
  that
• 18:43
  she
• 18:44
  had
• 18:44
  just
• 18:44
  started
• 18:44
  her
• 18:44
  coaching
• 18:45
  business
• 18:45
  and
• 18:46
  that
• 18:46
  conversation
• 18:47
  was
• 18:47
  the
• 18:47
  deal
• 18:48
  breaker.
• 18:49
  I
• 18:49
  know
• 18:50
  that
• 18:50
  I
• 18:50
  owe
• 18:51
  so
• 18:51
  much
• 18:52
  of
• 18:52
  my
• 18:52
  success
• 18:53
  to
• 18:53
  Lena
• 18:54
  because
• 18:54
  I
• 18:55
  finally
• 18:55
  decided
• 18:56
  that
• 18:56
  I
• 18:56
  needed
• 18:56
  to
• 18:57
  invest
• 18:57
  more
• 18:57
  in
• 18:57
  me
• 18:58
  and
• 18:58
  my
• 18:58
  business.
• 18:58
  Yeah.
• 18:59
  And
• 18:59
  I
• 18:59
  think
• 18:59
  it's
• 18:59
  that
• 18:59
  same
• 19:00
  thing.
• 19:00
  There's
• 19:00
  a
• 19:00
  couple
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  things
• 19:01
  in
• 19:01
  what
• 19:01
  you
• 19:01
  say
• 19:01
  there.
• 19:01
  You
• 19:02
  know,
• 19:02
  we
• 19:02
  always
• 19:02
  say
• 19:03
  buy
• 19:03
  cheap,
• 19:03
  buy
• 19:04
  twice.
• 19:04
  You
• 19:04
  know,
• 19:04
  we,
• 19:04
  we
• 19:05
  can
• 19:05
  put
• 19:05
  up
• 19:05
  a
• 19:05
  really
• 19:05
  cheap
• 19:06
  website
• 19:06
  but
• 19:07
  ultimately
• 19:07
  eventually,
• 19:08
  you
• 19:08
  know,
• 19:08
  it's
• 19:08
  going
• 19:09
  to
• 19:09
  let
• 19:09
  us
• 19:09
  down
• 19:09
  and
• 19:09
  we
• 19:09
  probably
• 19:10
  do
• 19:10
  need
• 19:10
  to
• 19:10
  invest,
• 19:10
  but
• 19:11
  that's
• 19:11
  hard.
• 19:11
  We
• 19:11
  don't
• 19:11
  always
• 19:11
  have
• 19:12
  the
• 19:12
  money
• 19:12
  up
• 19:12
  front.
• 19:13
  And
• 19:13
  I
• 19:13
  think
• 19:13
  the
• 19:13
  second
• 19:13
  thing
• 19:14
  about
• 19:14
  the
• 19:14
  naivety,
• 19:15
  I
• 19:15
  think
• 19:15
  sometimes
• 19:16
  a
• 19:16
  bit
• 19:16
  of
• 19:16
  naivety
• 19:17
  is
• 19:17
  a
• 19:17
  good
• 19:17
  thing
• 19:18
  because
• 19:18
  actually
• 19:18
  if
• 19:19
  we
• 19:19
  know
• 19:19
  everything,
• 19:20
  we
• 19:20
  wouldn't
• 19:20
  quit
• 19:20
  the
• 19:20
  job
• 19:21
  and
• 19:21
  go
• 19:21
  into
• 19:21
  being
• 19:21
  a
• 19:22
  celebrant
• 19:22
  because
• 19:22
  we
• 19:22
  would
• 19:23
  be
• 19:23
  way
• 19:23
  too
• 19:23
  scared.
• 19:24
  But
• 19:24
  you're
• 19:25
  right,
• 19:25
  if
• 19:25
  there's
• 19:25
  things
• 19:26
  that
• 19:26
  we
• 19:26
  can
• 19:26
  do
• 19:26
  or
• 19:27
  we've
• 19:27
  got
• 19:27
  money
• 19:27
  to
• 19:27
  invest
• 19:27
  in
• 19:28
  a
• 19:28
  coach
• 19:28
  and
• 19:28
  someone
• 19:29
  who
• 19:29
  can
• 19:29
  guide
• 19:30
  us
• 19:30
  through
• 19:30
  those
• 19:30
  things
• 19:31
  that
• 19:31
  we
• 19:31
  don't
• 19:31
  know
• 19:32
  because,
• 19:32
  you
• 19:32
  know,
• 19:32
  I
• 19:32
  talk
• 19:33
  about
• 19:33
  it
• 19:33
  a
• 19:33
  lot.
• 19:33
  You
• 19:33
  know,
• 19:34
  I'm
• 19:34
  no
• 19:34
  good
• 19:34
  at
• 19:35
  doing
• 19:35
  hair
• 19:35
  or
• 19:36
  doing
• 19:36
  a
• 19:36
  ceremony
• 19:37
  or
• 19:37
  baking
• 19:38
  a
• 19:38
  cake,
• 19:38
  but
• 19:38
  I
• 19:38
  can
• 19:38
  help
• 19:39
  you
• 19:39
  with
• 19:39
  the
• 19:39
  business
• 19:39
  side
• 19:40
  of
• 19:40
  things.
• 19:40
  You
• 19:40
  may
• 19:41
  be
• 19:41
  an
• 19:41
  amazing
• 19:41
  celebrant
• 19:42
  or
• 19:42
  registrar,
• 19:42
  but
• 19:43
  that
• 19:43
  doesn't
• 19:43
  necessarily
• 19:43
  mean
• 19:43
  you
• 19:44
  have
• 19:44
  a
• 19:44
  business
• 19:44
  mindset.
• 19:45
  And
• 19:45
  I
• 19:45
  think
• 19:46
  having
• 19:46
  someone
• 19:46
  help
• 19:46
  you
• 19:47
  actually
• 19:47
  opens
• 19:47
  doors
• 19:47
  and
• 19:48
  just
• 19:48
  gets
• 19:48
  you
• 19:48
  there
• 19:48
  quicker.
• 19:49
  It
• 19:49
  doesn't.
• 19:50
  It's
• 19:50
  not
• 19:50
  because
• 19:51
  you're
• 19:51
  not
• 19:51
  good
• 19:51
  enough,
• 19:51
  if
• 19:52
  that
• 19:52
  makes
• 19:52
  sense.
• 19:52
  So
• 19:53
  a
• 19:53
  little
• 19:53
  bit
• 19:53
  of
• 19:53
  naivety
• 19:54
  is
• 19:54
  good,
• 19:54
  but
• 19:55
  there's
• 19:55
  definitely
• 19:55
  wisdom
• 19:56
  in
• 19:56
  getting
• 19:56
  some
• 19:56
  help
• 19:56
  along
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  way
• 19:57
  as
• 19:57
  well.
• 19:58
  So
• 19:58
  right
• 19:58
  now,
• 19:58
  in
• 19:58
  your
• 19:59
  business
• 19:59
  then,
• 19:59
  Vim,
• 19:59
  where
• 20:00
  if
• 20:00
  you
• 20:00
  were
• 20:00
  to
• 20:00
  describe
• 20:01
  to
• 20:01
  me
• 20:01
  your
• 20:01
  current
• 20:02
  client
• 20:02
  base,
• 20:03
  like
• 20:03
  where
• 20:03
  do
• 20:03
  you
• 20:03
  sit
• 20:04
  in
• 20:04
  the
• 20:04
  market?
• 20:04
  Are
• 20:05
  you,
• 20:05
  you
• 20:05
  know,
• 20:05
  mid
• 20:05
  market?
• 20:06
  Who.
• 20:06
  Who
• 20:06
  are
• 20:06
  the
• 20:06
  people
• 20:07
  that
• 20:07
  you're
• 20:07
  working
• 20:08
  with
• 20:08
  now?
• 20:09
  See,
• 20:09
  honestly,
• 20:10
  it's
• 20:10
  going
• 20:10
  to
• 20:10
  sound.
• 20:11
  I'm
• 20:11
  going
• 20:11
  to
• 20:12
  have
• 20:12
  to
• 20:12
  say
• 20:12
  it's
• 20:12
  a
• 20:12
  mix.
• 20:13
  That's
• 20:13
  honestly
• 20:14
  the
• 20:14
  truth
• 20:14
  because
• 20:14
  my
• 20:15
  last
• 20:15
  ceremony
• 20:15
  was
• 20:16
  in
• 20:16
  Cape
• 20:16
  Town
• 20:17
  and
• 20:17
  that
• 20:17
  was
• 20:17
  a
• 20:18
  destination
• 20:18
  wedding
• 20:19
  and
• 20:19
  the
• 20:19
  couple
• 20:19
  are
• 20:19
  based
• 20:20
  in
• 20:20
  England
• 20:20
  and
• 20:20
  they
• 20:21
  found
• 20:21
  me
• 20:21
  here
• 20:22
  and
• 20:22
  flew
• 20:23
  me
• 20:23
  out
• 20:23
  to
• 20:23
  Cape
• 20:24
  Town
• 20:24
  and
• 20:24
  I
• 20:24
  officiated
• 20:25
  their
• 20:25
  ceremony.
• 20:25
  The
• 20:26
  one
• 20:26
  before
• 20:26
  that
• 20:26
  was
• 20:27
  a
• 20:27
  couple
• 20:27
  based
• 20:27
  in
• 20:28
  the
• 20:28
  United
• 20:28
  States.
• 20:29
  Their
• 20:30
  wedding
• 20:30
  planner
• 20:30
  in
• 20:30
  France
• 20:31
  found
• 20:31
  me
• 20:32
  because
• 20:32
  of
• 20:32
  our
• 20:32
  similar
• 20:33
  cultural
• 20:33
  backgrounds
• 20:34
  and
• 20:35
  they
• 20:35
  flew
• 20:35
  me
• 20:35
  out
• 20:35
  to
• 20:36
  France.
• 20:36
  But
• 20:37
  the
• 20:37
  wedding
• 20:37
  before
• 20:37
  that
• 20:38
  was
• 20:39
  right
• 20:39
  down
• 20:39
  the
• 20:40
  road
• 20:40
  at
• 20:40
  this
• 20:41
  gorgeous
• 20:41
  luxury
• 20:42
  hot
• 20:42
  tub
• 20:42
  lodge
• 20:42
  retreat.
• 20:43
  This
• 20:43
  couple
• 20:44
  got
• 20:44
  engaged
• 20:44
  there
• 20:44
  a
• 20:45
  couple
• 20:45
  of
• 20:45
  years
• 20:45
  ago
• 20:45
  and
• 20:45
  they
• 20:46
  decided
• 20:46
  to
• 20:47
  get
• 20:47
  married.
• 20:47
  What
• 20:48
  is
• 20:48
  to
• 20:48
  elope
• 20:49
  on
• 20:49
  the
• 20:49
  grounds
• 20:50
  of
• 20:50
  that
• 20:50
  same
• 20:50
  retreat.
• 20:51
  And
• 20:51
  that
• 20:51
  was
• 20:51
  10
• 20:52
  minutes
• 20:52
  down
• 20:52
  the
• 20:52
  road
• 20:53
  for
• 20:53
  me.
• 20:53
  And
• 20:54
  the
• 20:54
  reason
• 20:54
  they
• 20:54
  booked
• 20:55
  me
• 20:55
  or
• 20:55
  hired
• 20:55
  me
• 20:55
  again
• 20:56
  is
• 20:56
  because
• 20:57
  they
• 20:57
  really
• 20:57
  care
• 20:58
  about
• 20:58
  poetry
• 20:59
  and
• 20:59
  the
• 20:59
  words
• 20:59
  that
• 21:00
  they
• 21:00
  say
• 21:00
  to
• 21:00
  each
• 21:00
  other
• 21:01
  and
• 21:01
  because
• 21:01
  that's
• 21:02
  what
• 21:02
  my
• 21:02
  selling
• 21:03
  point
• 21:03
  is.
• 21:04
  That's
• 21:04
  why
• 21:04
  they
• 21:04
  booked
• 21:05
  me.
• 21:05
  So
• 21:05
  when
• 21:06
  I
• 21:06
  say
• 21:06
  it's
• 21:06
  a
• 21:06
  mix,
• 21:07
  I
• 21:07
  mean
• 21:07
  it's
• 21:07
  a
• 21:08
  mix
• 21:08
  because
• 21:08
  whether
• 21:08
  it's
• 21:09
  because
• 21:09
  of
• 21:10
  my
• 21:10
  cultural
• 21:11
  background
• 21:12
  or
• 21:13
  similarities
• 21:14
  with
• 21:14
  a
• 21:14
  couple,
• 21:14
  or
• 21:15
  whether
• 21:15
  it's
• 21:15
  because
• 21:16
  I
• 21:16
  travel
• 21:17
  so
• 21:17
  much,
• 21:17
  so
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  couple
• 21:18
  who's
• 21:18
  traveling
• 21:19
  really
• 21:19
  further
• 21:19
  afield
• 21:20
  will
• 21:20
  know
• 21:20
  that
• 21:21
  logistically
• 21:22
  I
• 21:22
  won't
• 21:23
  be
• 21:23
  a
• 21:23
  problem
• 21:23
  or
• 21:24
  whether
• 21:24
  it
• 21:24
  is
• 21:24
  just
• 21:24
  down
• 21:25
  the
• 21:25
  road
• 21:25
  because
• 21:25
  someone
• 21:26
  wants
• 21:26
  the
• 21:26
  poetic
• 21:27
  side
• 21:27
  of
• 21:28
  what
• 21:28
  I
• 21:28
  bring
• 21:28
  to
• 21:28
  a
• 21:28
  ceremony,
• 21:30
  that's
• 21:30
  where
• 21:31
  I'm
• 21:31
  finding
• 21:31
  that
• 21:32
  when
• 21:32
  I
• 21:32
  said
• 21:33
  to
• 21:33
  you
• 21:33
  that,
• 21:33
  when
• 21:33
  I
• 21:34
  spoke
• 21:34
  earlier,
• 21:34
  when
• 21:35
  I
• 21:35
  said
• 21:35
  that
• 21:35
  my
• 21:36
  superpower
• 21:36
  has
• 21:37
  become
• 21:37
  these
• 21:37
  things
• 21:38
  that
• 21:38
  are
• 21:38
  different
• 21:38
  about
• 21:38
  me.
• 21:39
  The
• 21:39
  fact
• 21:39
  that
• 21:39
  I
• 21:39
  was
• 21:40
  born
• 21:40
  in
• 21:40
  Zimbabwe,
• 21:41
  then
• 21:41
  live
• 21:41
  in
• 21:42
  England.
• 21:42
  So
• 21:42
  I
• 21:42
  understand
• 21:43
  the
• 21:43
  cultural
• 21:44
  differences
• 21:44
  and
• 21:45
  I
• 21:45
  understand,
• 21:47
  I
• 21:47
  understand
• 21:48
  so
• 21:49
  much
• 21:49
  about
• 21:50
  different
• 21:50
  weddings
• 21:51
  as
• 21:51
  far
• 21:51
  as
• 21:52
  culture
• 21:52
  Multi
• 21:53
  faith
• 21:55
  location.
• 21:56
  And
• 21:56
  so
• 21:56
  I'm
• 21:57
  finding
• 21:57
  that
• 21:58
  different
• 21:58
  couples
• 21:58
  are
• 21:59
  finding
• 21:59
  me
• 21:59
  and
• 21:59
  wanting
• 22:00
  me
• 22:00
  for
• 22:00
  different.
• 22:00
  For
• 22:00
  those
• 22:01
  differences
• 22:01
  that
• 22:02
  are
• 22:02
  in
• 22:02
  me.
• 22:03
  The
• 22:03
  things
• 22:03
  that
• 22:03
  I
• 22:03
  thought,
• 22:04
  you
• 22:04
  know,
• 22:04
  would
• 22:05
  not
• 22:05
  give
• 22:06
  me
• 22:06
  a
• 22:06
  solid
• 22:07
  place
• 22:07
  in
• 22:07
  the
• 22:07
  market
• 22:08
  are
• 22:08
  exactly
• 22:09
  the
• 22:09
  things
• 22:09
  that
• 22:09
  are
• 22:09
  making
• 22:09
  me
• 22:09
  shine
• 22:10
  in
• 22:10
  this
• 22:10
  industry.
• 22:11
  Love
• 22:11
  that
• 22:11
  we're
• 22:11
  going
• 22:12
  to
• 22:12
  come
• 22:12
  on
• 22:12
  to
• 22:12
  that
• 22:12
  a
• 22:12
  little
• 22:13
  bit
• 22:13
  more
• 22:13
  in
• 22:13
  a
• 22:13
  minute
• 22:14
  for
• 22:14
  sure,
• 22:14
  because
• 22:14
  I
• 22:15
  think
• 22:15
  there's
• 22:15
  loads
• 22:15
  more
• 22:15
  questions
• 22:16
  I
• 22:16
  could
• 22:16
  ask
• 22:16
  you
• 22:17
  in
• 22:17
  that
• 22:17
  area.
• 22:18
  So
• 22:18
  you
• 22:18
  say
• 22:19
  you're
• 22:19
  a
• 22:19
  mix
• 22:19
  now.
• 22:19
  There'll
• 22:20
  be
• 22:20
  people
• 22:20
  listening
• 22:20
  who
• 22:21
  are
• 22:21
  Vim
• 22:21
  four
• 22:21
  years
• 22:22
  ago,
• 22:22
  they've
• 22:22
  just
• 22:22
  quit
• 22:22
  their
• 22:22
  job,
• 22:23
  they
• 22:23
  want
• 22:23
  to
• 22:24
  be
• 22:24
  a
• 22:24
  celebrant,
• 22:24
  they're
• 22:24
  naively
• 22:25
  going
• 22:25
  to
• 22:25
  venues
• 22:25
  who
• 22:26
  are
• 22:26
  turning
• 22:26
  them
• 22:26
  away
• 22:26
  and
• 22:27
  they're
• 22:27
  feeling
• 22:27
  like,
• 22:28
  is
• 22:28
  anything
• 22:28
  ever
• 22:29
  going
• 22:29
  to
• 22:29
  work
• 22:29
  for
• 22:30
  me?
• 22:30
  So
• 22:30
  when
• 22:30
  you
• 22:31
  look
• 22:31
  at
• 22:31
  your
• 22:31
  current
• 22:31
  client
• 22:32
  base,
• 22:33
  where
• 22:33
  are
• 22:33
  they
• 22:33
  coming
• 22:33
  from?
• 22:34
  What
• 22:34
  marketing
• 22:34
  activities
• 22:35
  work
• 22:36
  for
• 22:36
  you
• 22:36
  right
• 22:36
  now?
• 22:37
  How
• 22:37
  are
• 22:37
  you
• 22:37
  generating
• 22:38
  your
• 22:38
  inquiries?
• 22:39
  And
• 22:39
  be
• 22:39
  completely
• 22:39
  honest.
• 22:40
  Social
• 22:40
  media,
• 22:41
  I
• 22:41
  think
• 22:41
  that's.
• 22:42
  And
• 22:42
  social
• 22:42
  media
• 22:43
  is
• 22:43
  free.
• 22:43
  So
• 22:43
  I
• 22:44
  think
• 22:44
  the
• 22:44
  best
• 22:44
  thing
• 22:44
  you
• 22:44
  can
• 22:44
  do
• 22:45
  for
• 22:45
  anyone,
• 22:45
  of
• 22:45
  course,
• 22:46
  get
• 22:46
  a
• 22:46
  proper
• 22:46
  website,
• 22:47
  check
• 22:47
  your
• 22:47
  inquiry
• 22:48
  form.
• 22:48
  Like
• 22:48
  Becca
• 22:49
  says,
• 22:49
  it's
• 22:49
  so
• 22:49
  important
• 22:50
  because
• 22:51
  exactly
• 22:51
  like
• 22:52
  you
• 22:52
  said,
• 22:52
  imagine
• 22:53
  the
• 22:53
  amount
• 22:53
  of
• 22:53
  people
• 22:54
  that
• 22:54
  might
• 22:54
  have
• 22:55
  been
• 22:55
  put
• 22:55
  off
• 22:55
  by
• 22:56
  it
• 22:56
  and
• 22:56
  not
• 22:56
  inquired
• 22:57
  at
• 22:57
  all.
• 22:58
  Even
• 22:58
  if
• 22:58
  they
• 22:59
  had
• 22:59
  found
• 22:59
  my
• 22:59
  website,
• 23:00
  I
• 23:00
  still
• 23:00
  think
• 23:00
  they
• 23:00
  might
• 23:01
  have
• 23:01
  not
• 23:01
  found
• 23:01
  it
• 23:01
  because
• 23:01
  I've
• 23:02
  only
• 23:02
  just
• 23:02
  found
• 23:02
  out
• 23:02
  about
• 23:02
  SEO,
• 23:03
  but
• 23:03
  that's
• 23:04
  a
• 23:04
  conversation
• 23:04
  for
• 23:04
  another
• 23:05
  day.
• 23:05
  So
• 23:05
  I
• 23:06
  would
• 23:06
  say
• 23:06
  most
• 23:06
  of
• 23:06
  my
• 23:07
  couples
• 23:07
  find
• 23:07
  me
• 23:07
  on
• 23:07
  social
• 23:08
  media.
• 23:08
  They
• 23:09
  might
• 23:09
  not
• 23:09
  send
• 23:09
  me
• 23:09
  the
• 23:10
  inquiry
• 23:11
  from
• 23:11
  social
• 23:11
  media,
• 23:12
  but
• 23:12
  my
• 23:13
  social
• 23:13
  media,
• 23:13
  once
• 23:13
  they
• 23:14
  found
• 23:14
  it
• 23:14
  or
• 23:14
  once
• 23:14
  they've
• 23:15
  seen
• 23:15
  what
• 23:16
  I
• 23:16
  provide
• 23:16
  or
• 23:16
  who
• 23:17
  I
• 23:17
  am,
• 23:17
  it
• 23:18
  then
• 23:18
  brings
• 23:18
  them
• 23:18
  to
• 23:19
  the
• 23:19
  website
• 23:19
  where
• 23:19
  they
• 23:20
  then
• 23:20
  fill
• 23:20
  in
• 23:20
  an
• 23:20
  inquiry
• 23:21
  form,
• 23:21
  which
• 23:21
  is
• 23:21
  working,
• 23:22
  of
• 23:22
  course.
• 23:24
  So
• 23:24
  I
• 23:24
  think
• 23:25
  for
• 23:25
  anyone
• 23:25
  who's
• 23:26
  feeling
• 23:26
  like,
• 23:26
  where
• 23:27
  do
• 23:27
  I
• 23:27
  go?
• 23:28
  I've
• 23:28
  been
• 23:28
  to
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  venues,
• 23:29
  I've
• 23:29
  knocked
• 23:29
  on
• 23:29
  as
• 23:30
  many
• 23:30
  doors
• 23:30
  as
• 23:30
  I
• 23:30
  can.
• 23:31
  Just
• 23:32
  start
• 23:33
  posting
• 23:34
  because
• 23:34
  people
• 23:34
  buy
• 23:35
  people.
• 23:36
  And
• 23:36
  so
• 23:36
  if
• 23:37
  you
• 23:37
  know
• 23:37
  that
• 23:37
  you've

• 23:44
  it
• 23:44
  with
• 23:45
  the
• 23:45
  world
• 23:45
  because
• 23:46
  you'll
• 23:47
  find
• 23:47
  people
• 23:47
  have
• 23:48
  been
• 23:49
  so.
• 23:51
  They've
• 23:51
  been
• 23:51
  so
• 23:51
  welcoming.
• 23:53
  I'm
• 23:53
  not
• 23:53
  great
• 23:54
  with
• 23:54
  admin,
• 23:54
  I'm
• 23:55
  really
• 23:55
  not
• 23:55
  great
• 23:55
  with
• 23:56
  all
• 23:56
  this
• 23:56
  stuff,
• 23:57
  but
• 23:57
  people
• 23:57
  will
• 23:57
  book
• 23:58
  me
• 23:58
  and
• 23:58
  will
• 23:59
  know
• 23:59
  that
• 23:59
  I'm
• 23:59
  not
• 23:59
  great
• 23:59
  with
• 24:00
  that
• 24:00
  other
• 24:00
  stuff
• 24:00
  and
• 24:01
  won't
• 24:01
  care
• 24:01
  because
• 24:02
  they're
• 24:02
  still.
• 24:02
  They've
• 24:02
  booked
• 24:03
  Vim,
• 24:03
  they
• 24:03
  know
• 24:03
  Vim
• 24:04
  is
• 24:04
  showing
• 24:04
  up
• 24:04
  and
• 24:05
  Wade
• 24:05
  matters.
• 24:05
  Vim
• 24:06
  is
• 24:06
  putting
• 24:06
  our
• 24:06
  ceremony
• 24:07
  together.
• 24:07
  Vim
• 24:08
  is
• 24:08
  helping
• 24:08
  us
• 24:08
  write
• 24:08
  the
• 24:08
  vows.
• 24:09
  Vim
• 24:09
  is
• 24:09
  writing
• 24:10
  this
• 24:10
  poem
• 24:10
  for
• 24:10
  us.
• 24:11
  That's
• 24:11
  what
• 24:11
  matters
• 24:12
  now.
• 24:12
  Whether
• 24:12
  she
• 24:13
  connects
• 24:14
  on
• 24:14
  Zoom
• 24:14
  straight
• 24:14
  away
• 24:15
  or
• 24:16
  needs
• 24:16
  to
• 24:16
  be
• 24:17
  told
• 24:17
  what
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  cook
• 24:18
  or
• 24:18
  whatever,
• 24:19
  that
• 24:19
  doesn't
• 24:20
  matter.
• 24:20
  And
• 24:21
  so
• 24:21
  that's
• 24:21
  what
• 24:22
  I
• 24:22
  would
• 24:22
  say
• 24:22
  to
• 24:22
  anyone.
• 24:23
  Starting
• 24:24
  social
• 24:24
  media
• 24:24
  is
• 24:24
  so
• 24:25
  important.
• 24:25
  Visibility
• 24:26
  is
• 24:26
  so
• 24:26
  important.
• 24:27
  Get
• 24:28
  online,
• 24:28
  get
• 24:29
  on
• 24:29
  all
• 24:29
  the
• 24:29
  different
• 24:30
  platforms
• 24:30
  and
• 24:30
  just
• 24:31
  talk.
• 24:32
  Talk
• 24:33
  about
• 24:33
  who
• 24:33
  you
• 24:33
  are,
• 24:34
  talk
• 24:34
  about
• 24:34
  why
• 24:34
  you're
• 24:34
  doing
• 24:35
  what
• 24:35
  you're
• 24:35
  doing,
• 24:35
  share
• 24:36
  your
• 24:36
  passion
• 24:36
  with
• 24:36
  the
• 24:36
  world
• 24:37
  and
• 24:37
  then
• 24:37
  just.
• 24:38
  And
• 24:38
  watch
• 24:38
  people
• 24:38
  come
• 24:39
  to
• 24:39
  you.
• 24:39
  So
• 24:40
  what
• 24:40
  are
• 24:40
  you
• 24:40
  doing
• 24:40
  on
• 24:40
  social
• 24:41
  media?
• 24:41
  Because
• 24:41
  I'm
• 24:41
  talking
• 24:42
  a
• 24:42
  lot
• 24:42
  at
• 24:42
  the
• 24:42
  moment
• 24:42
  about
• 24:43
  how
• 24:43
  social
• 24:43
  media
• 24:43
  has
• 24:44
  shifted.
• 24:44
  I've
• 24:44
  got
• 24:44
  this
• 24:45
  brand
• 24:45
  new
• 24:45
  talk
• 24:45
  I've
• 24:45
  been
• 24:45
  doing
• 24:46
  called
• 24:46
  what
• 24:46
  the
• 24:46
  social
• 24:47
  media
• 24:47
  has
• 24:47
  happened.
• 24:48
  Because
• 24:48
  social
• 24:48
  media
• 24:49
  has
• 24:49
  changed
• 24:49
  so
• 24:49
  much
• 24:50
  in
• 24:50
  the
• 24:50
  last
• 24:50
  couple
• 24:50
  of
• 24:50
  years.
• 24:51
  Is
• 24:51
  all
• 24:51
  video
• 24:52
  focused.
• 24:52
  So
• 24:53
  what
• 24:53
  are
• 24:53
  you
• 24:53
  doing?
• 24:53
  Are
• 24:54
  you
• 24:54
  going
• 24:54
  on
• 24:54
  video?
• 24:55
  Are
• 24:55
  you
• 24:55
  making
• 24:55
  reels?
• 24:56
  Are
• 24:56
  you
• 24:56
  going
• 24:56
  on
• 24:56
  stories
• 24:57
  like
• 24:57
  how
• 24:57
  are
• 24:57
  you
• 24:57
  reaching
• 24:58
  new
• 24:58
  people,
• 24:58
  how
• 24:58
  people
• 24:59
  finding
• 24:59
  you?
• 25:00
  This
• 25:00
  is
• 25:00
  where
• 25:01
  a
• 25:01
  business
• 25:01
  coach
• 25:02
  was
• 25:02
  amazing.
• 25:02
  So
• 25:03
  again,
• 25:03
  I'll
• 25:03
  talk
• 25:03
  about
• 25:03
  Lena
• 25:04
  just
• 25:04
  really
• 25:04
  quickly.
• 25:04
  And
• 25:05
  she
• 25:05
  had.
• 25:06
  She
• 25:06
  basically
• 25:07
  said,
• 25:07
  so
• 25:08
  you've
• 25:08
  got
• 25:08
  seven
• 25:08
  days
• 25:08
  in
• 25:09
  the
• 25:09
  week.
• 25:09
  Schedule
• 25:10
  something
• 25:10
  different
• 25:10
  for
• 25:11
  every
• 25:11
  single
• 25:11
  day.
• 25:12
  So
• 25:12
  as
• 25:12
  far
• 25:12
  as
• 25:13
  reels,
• 25:13
  post
• 25:14
  carousels,
• 25:15
  do
• 25:15
  everything
• 25:16
  but,
• 25:16
  but
• 25:17
  do
• 25:17
  it
• 25:17
  knowing
• 25:17
  that
• 25:17
  on
• 25:18
  a
• 25:18
  Monday,
• 25:18
  I'm
• 25:18
  gonna.
• 25:18
  It's
• 25:19
  definitely
• 25:19
  the
• 25:19
  day
• 25:19
  I
• 25:20
  post
• 25:20
  a
• 25:20
  fun
• 25:21
  fact
• 25:21
  about
• 25:22
  registrar
• 25:22
  versus
• 25:23
  celebrant.
• 25:23
  On
• 25:24
  a
• 25:24
  Tuesday,
• 25:24
  it's
• 25:24
  definitely
• 25:25
  going
• 25:25
  to
• 25:25
  be
• 25:25
  a
• 25:25
  real.
• 25:26
  Whether
• 25:26
  it's
• 25:26
  a
• 25:26
  venue
• 25:27
  I've
• 25:27
  attended
• 25:28
  or
• 25:28
  my
• 25:28
  last
• 25:28
  ceremony
• 25:29
  or.
• 25:30
  Or
• 25:31
  talking
• 25:31
  to
• 25:31
  another
• 25:32
  vendor
• 25:32
  that
• 25:33
  I
• 25:33
  met
• 25:33
  on
• 25:34
  a,
• 25:34
  on
• 25:34
  a,
• 25:34
  at
• 25:34
  a
• 25:35
  wedding
• 25:35
  or
• 25:35
  when
• 25:36
  I
• 25:36
  was
• 25:36
  officiating
• 25:37
  a
• 25:37
  ceremony.
• 25:37
  Make
• 25:38
  sure
• 25:38
  that
• 25:38
  you
• 25:39
  do.
• 25:39
  You're
• 25:39
  using
• 25:39
  everything
• 25:40
  you
• 25:40
  can
• 25:41
  because
• 25:42
  different
• 25:42
  people
• 25:42
  will
• 25:43
  enjoy
• 25:43
  different
• 25:43
  things.
• 25:44
  Some
• 25:44
  people
• 25:44
  will
• 25:45
  absolutely
• 25:45
  love
• 25:45
  a
• 25:45
  real.
• 25:46
  You
• 25:47
  know,
• 25:47
  it's
• 25:47
  short,
• 25:47
  it's
• 25:48
  quick,
• 25:48
  you
• 25:48
  put
• 25:48
  some
• 25:48
  music
• 25:49
  on
• 25:49
  there,
• 25:49
  it's
• 25:49
  entertaining.
• 25:50
  Some
• 25:50
  people
• 25:50
  really
• 25:51
  want
• 25:51
  to
• 25:53
  look
• 25:53
  at
• 25:53
  posts,
• 25:54
  you
• 25:54
  know,
• 25:54
  reviews.
• 25:55
  They
• 25:55
  want
• 25:56
  to
• 25:56
  read
• 25:56
  what
• 25:56
  your
• 25:56
  last
• 25:56
  couple
• 25:57
  said.
• 25:57
  So
• 25:58
  that's
• 25:58
  important
• 25:58
  to
• 25:58
  them
• 25:58
  rather
• 25:59
  than,
• 25:59
  you
• 26:00
  know,
• 26:00
  seeing
• 26:00
  the
• 26:01
  last
• 26:01
  venue
• 26:01
  you
• 26:01
  were
• 26:02
  at.
• 26:02
  So
• 26:02
  try
• 26:03
  everything.
• 26:03
  And
• 26:03
  that's
• 26:03
  exactly
• 26:04
  what
• 26:04
  I
• 26:04
  do.
• 26:05
  I
• 26:05
  really
• 26:05
  have
• 26:06
  no
• 26:06
  idea
• 26:06
  what
• 26:06
  works.
• 26:07
  I
• 26:07
  know
• 26:07
  if
• 26:07
  you
• 26:07
  look
• 26:08
  at
• 26:08
  the
• 26:09
  stuff
• 26:09
  in
• 26:09
  the
• 26:09
  back,
• 26:10
  as
• 26:10
  far
• 26:10
  as
• 26:10
  Instagram
• 26:11
  is
• 26:11
  concerned,
• 26:11
  for
• 26:11
  example,
• 26:12
  it
• 26:12
  has
• 26:12
  insights.
• 26:13
  So
• 26:13
  to
• 26:14
  tell
• 26:14
  you
• 26:14
  what
• 26:14
  performed
• 26:15
  well
• 26:16
  or
• 26:16
  what
• 26:16
  performs
• 26:17
  well
• 26:17
  or
• 26:17
  when
• 26:18
  people
• 26:18
  clicked
• 26:18
  on
• 26:18
  this,
• 26:19
  I
• 26:19
  really
• 26:20
  don't
• 26:20
  get
• 26:20
  caught
• 26:20
  up
• 26:21
  in
• 26:21
  all
• 26:21
  the
• 26:21
  statistics.
• 26:22
  I
• 26:22
  just
• 26:22
  think
• 26:23
  as
• 26:23
  long
• 26:23
  as
• 26:23
  I'm
• 26:23
  showing
• 26:23
  up
• 26:24
  authentically
• 26:25
  as
• 26:25
  often
• 26:25
  as
• 26:26
  I
• 26:26
  possibly
• 26:26
  can,
• 26:27
  then
• 26:27
  I
• 26:27
  know
• 26:27
  I'm
• 26:27
  doing
• 26:28
  the
• 26:28
  work.
• 26:28
  And
• 26:29
  so
• 26:29
  that's.
• 26:29
  And
• 26:29
  it's
• 26:30
  been
• 26:30
  working,
• 26:30
  clearly.
• 26:31
  And
• 26:31
  you
• 26:32
  know
• 26:32
  what,
• 26:32
  as
• 26:32
  a
• 26:32
  marketeer
• 26:33
  myself,
• 26:33
  I
• 26:34
  don't
• 26:34
  need
• 26:34
  to
• 26:34
  go
• 26:34
  and
• 26:34
  look
• 26:35
  at
• 26:35
  your
• 26:35
  stats
• 26:35
  to
• 26:35
  know
• 26:35
  what's
• 26:36
  working
• 26:36
  for
• 26:36
  you.
• 26:36
  I
• 26:37
  can
• 26:37
  guarantee
• 26:38
  without
• 26:38
  ever
• 26:38
  looking
• 26:38
  at
• 26:38
  any
• 26:38
  of
• 26:39
  your
• 26:39
  social
• 26:39
  media
• 26:39
  posts,
• 26:40
  what's
• 26:40
  working
• 26:40
  for
• 26:40
  you
• 26:40
  and
• 26:40
  what's
• 26:41
  making
• 26:41
  you
• 26:42
  stand
• 26:42
  out
• 26:42
  is
• 26:43
  the
• 26:43
  fact
• 26:43
  that
• 26:43
  you
• 26:43
  are
• 26:44
  boldly
• 26:44
  and
• 26:44
  unapologetically
• 26:46
  being
• 26:46
  yourself
• 26:47
  and
• 26:47
  showing
• 26:48
  up
• 26:48
  as
• 26:49
  you.
• 26:50
  Because

  your

  personality
• 26:51
  that's

  infectious
• 26:52
  and
• 26:52
  your

• 26:54
  and

  say,

  yeah,

  great

  ceremony.
• 27:00
  Like,

  I
• 27:00

• 27:01
  that's
• 27:01

  resonate
• 27:02
  with
• 27:02
  you
• 27:03
  on

  Oh,

  great.
• 27:04
  Thank
• 27:05

  Thank
• 27:06
  you

  so
• 27:07
  much.
• 27:07
  Let
• 27:07
  me
• 27:08
  just
• 27:08
  talk
• 27:08
  about
• 27:08
  those
• 27:09
  weddings
• 27:09
  you
• 27:10
  mentioned
• 27:10
  because
• 27:10
  you
• 27:10
  said
• 27:11
  these
• 27:11
  glamorous
• 27:11
  things
• 27:11
  about
• 27:12
  people
• 27:12
  flying
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  out
• 27:13
  to
• 27:13
  Cape
• 27:13
  Town
• 27:13
  and
• 27:14
  taking
• 27:14
  you
• 27:14
  to
• 27:14
  France.
• 27:15
  And
• 27:15
  people
• 27:15
  are
• 27:15
  probably
• 27:15
  listening
• 27:16
  and
• 27:16
  thinking,
• 27:16
  well,
• 27:16
  how
• 27:16
  could
• 27:17
  I
• 27:17
  ever
• 27:17
  do
• 27:18
  that?
• 27:18
  So
• 27:18
  did
• 27:18
  those
• 27:19
  people
• 27:19
  find
• 27:19
  you
• 27:19
  on
• 27:19
  social
• 27:20
  media
• 27:20
  or
• 27:20
  were
• 27:20
  they,
• 27:21
  you
• 27:21
  know,
• 27:21
  networking
• 27:22
  contacts?

  Is

  a
• 27:22
  planner

• 27:23
  met
• 27:23
  at
• 27:23
  an
• 27:23
  event
• 27:24
  somewhere
• 27:24
  that's
• 27:24
  put

  Like,

• 27:25
  us
• 27:26
  the
• 27:26
  nuts
• 27:26
  and
• 27:26
  bolts.
• 27:26
  How
• 27:27
  do
• 27:27
  these
• 27:27
  things
• 27:27
  come
• 27:27
  into
• 27:28
  Vim's
• 27:28
  life?
• 27:29
  Okay,
• 27:29
  so
• 27:29
  in
• 27:29
  real
• 27:30
  life,
• 27:30
  examples,
• 27:30
  the
• 27:31
  one
• 27:31
  in
• 27:31
  France,
• 27:31
  the
• 27:32
  one
• 27:32
  in
• 27:32
  Bordeaux
• 27:32
  in
• 27:33
  October,
• 27:34
  that
• 27:34
  wedding
• 27:34
  planner
• 27:35
  found
• 27:35
  me
• 27:35
  on
• 27:35
  Instagram.
• 27:37
  She
• 27:37
  sent
• 27:37
  me
• 27:37
  a
• 27:37
  DM
• 27:38
  on
• 27:38
  Instagram
• 27:38
  and
• 27:39
  she
• 27:39
  said
• 27:39
  she
• 27:39
  was
• 27:39
  looking
• 27:39
  for
• 27:40
  a
• 27:40
  particular
• 27:40
  celebrant
• 27:41
  which
• 27:41
  she
• 27:42
  knows
• 27:42
  from
• 27:42
  being
• 27:43
  a
• 27:43
  wedding
• 27:43
  planner
• 27:43
  they
• 27:44
  don't
• 27:44
  have
• 27:44
  in
• 27:45
  Bordeaux.
• 27:45
  So
• 27:46
  she
• 27:46
  thought
• 27:46
  she'd
• 27:46
  look
• 27:46
  at
• 27:46
  the
• 27:47
  uk
• 27:47
  and
• 27:47
  this
• 27:47
  is
• 27:48
  a
• 27:48
  conversation
• 27:48
  I
• 27:48
  had
• 27:48
  with
• 27:49
  her
• 27:49
  when
• 27:49
  she
• 27:50
  inquired
• 27:50
  because
• 27:51
  I
• 27:51
  again,
• 27:52
  just
• 27:52
  stopped
• 27:52
  being
• 27:53
  scared
• 27:53
  to
• 27:53
  ask.
• 27:54
  I
• 27:54
  used
• 27:54
  to
• 27:55
  be
• 27:55
  so,
• 27:56
  so
• 27:56
  grateful
• 27:57
  for
• 27:57
  the
• 27:57
  booking
• 27:57
  or
• 27:57
  the
• 27:58
  inquiry
• 27:58
  that
• 27:59
  I
• 27:59
  wouldn't
• 27:59
  want
• 27:59
  to
• 27:59
  ask
• 28:00
  where
• 28:00
  they
• 28:00
  found
• 28:01
  me
• 28:01
  because
• 28:01
  I
• 28:01
  don't
• 28:01
  want
• 28:01
  them
• 28:02
  to
• 28:02
  say,
• 28:02
  I
• 28:03
  don't
• 28:03
  know,
• 28:03
  we
• 28:03
  found
• 28:03
  you
• 28:03
  on
• 28:04
  so
• 28:04
  and
• 28:04
  so.
• 28:04
  And
• 28:04
  then
• 28:04
  I
• 28:04
  think,
• 28:05
  oh,
• 28:05
  I'm
• 28:05
  cringing
• 28:06
  at
• 28:06
  that
• 28:06
  reel
• 28:06
  that
• 28:07
  I
• 28:07
  posted.
• 28:07
  I
• 28:07
  can't
• 28:07
  believe
• 28:07
  that's
• 28:08
  where
• 28:08
  you
• 28:08
  found
• 28:08
  me.
• 28:08
  So
• 28:09
  I
• 28:09
  always
• 28:09
  just
• 28:09
  felt
• 28:10
  like
• 28:10
  just
• 28:10
  be
• 28:10
  grateful
• 28:11
  for
• 28:11
  it.
• 28:11
  But
• 28:11
  obviously
• 28:12
  that's
• 28:12
  not.
• 28:12
  Again,
• 28:12
  that's
• 28:13
  not
• 28:13
  the
• 28:13
  way
• 28:13
  business
• 28:13
  works.
• 28:14
  If
• 28:14
  you
• 28:14
  know
• 28:14
  where
• 28:15
  they
• 28:15
  found
• 28:15
  you,
• 28:15
  then
• 28:15
  you
• 28:15
  know
• 28:16
  what
• 28:16
  to
• 28:16
  keep
• 28:17
  putting,
• 28:17
  to
• 28:17
  keep
• 28:18
  investing
• 28:18
  in.
• 28:19
  So
• 28:19
  she
• 28:19
  found
• 28:19
  me
• 28:19
  on
• 28:19
  social
• 28:20
  media
• 28:20
  and
• 28:21
  that's
• 28:21
  because,
• 28:21
  again,
• 28:22
  I
• 28:22
  was
• 28:22
  visible.
• 28:23
  She
• 28:23
  said
• 28:23
  she'd
• 28:23
  been
• 28:23
  following,
• 28:24
  she'd
• 28:24
  been
• 28:24
  following
• 28:25
  me
• 28:25
  for
• 28:25
  a
• 28:25
  few
• 28:25
  months
• 28:26
  I
• 28:26
  had
• 28:26
  a
• 28:26
  notice
• 28:27
  to
• 28:27
  follow.
• 28:28
  So
• 28:28
  it
• 28:29
  meant
• 28:29
  that
• 28:29
  the
• 28:29
  fact
• 28:29
  that
• 28:30
  I
• 28:30
  continued
• 28:30
  to
• 28:30
  show
• 28:31
  up
• 28:31
  in
• 28:31
  different
• 28:32
  ways,
• 28:33
  she
• 28:33
  made
• 28:33
  a
• 28:33
  decision
• 28:34
  that
• 28:34
  this
• 28:35
  person
• 28:35
  seems
• 28:35
  right
• 28:35
  for
• 28:36
  my
• 28:36
  couple.
• 28:36
  But
• 28:37
  before
• 28:37
  I
• 28:37
  introduce
• 28:38
  it
• 28:38
  to
• 28:38
  my
• 28:38
  couple,
• 28:38
  I
• 28:39
  will
• 28:39
  inquire
• 28:39
  with
• 28:39
  her,
• 28:40
  find
• 28:40
  out
• 28:40
  how
• 28:40
  much
• 28:40
  she,
• 28:41
  you
• 28:41
  know,
• 28:41
  what
• 28:41
  she,
• 28:42
  what
• 28:42
  she,
• 28:43
  what
• 28:43
  she
• 28:44
  provides,
• 28:44
  what
• 28:45
  she
• 28:45
  charges,
• 28:45
  and
• 28:46
  then
• 28:46
  I'll
• 28:46
  pass
• 28:46
  her
• 28:47
  on
• 28:47
  if
• 28:47
  it's
• 28:47
  a
• 28:47
  great
• 28:48
  fit
• 28:48
  as
• 28:49
  far
• 28:49
  as
• 28:49
  everything
• 28:49
  else,
• 28:50
  but
• 28:50
  personality
• 28:51
  wise,
• 28:52
  that's
• 28:52
  where
• 28:52
  it
• 28:52
  started.
• 28:53
  So
• 28:53
  again,
• 28:53
  when
• 28:54
  I
• 28:54
  say
• 28:54
  show
• 28:55
  up,
• 28:55
  it's
• 28:55
  so
• 28:55
  important
• 28:57
  to
• 28:57
  the
• 28:58
  one
• 28:58
  down
• 28:59
  the
• 28:59
  road.
• 28:59
  I
• 28:59
  knocked
• 29:00
  on
• 29:00
  that
• 29:00
  door
• 29:00
  when
• 29:01
  I
• 29:01
  first
• 29:01
  started.
• 29:02
  I
• 29:02
  knew
• 29:02
  that
• 29:02
  there
• 29:02
  was
• 29:02
  this
• 29:03
  luxury
• 29:03
  hot
• 29:03
  tub,
• 29:03
  lodge,
• 29:04
  retreat
• 29:04
  and
• 29:04
  they
• 29:04
  were
• 29:05
  always
• 29:05
  posting,
• 29:07
  they
• 29:07
  were
• 29:07
  always
• 29:07
  posting
• 29:08
  proposals.
• 29:08
  Now
• 29:09
  how
• 29:09
  people
• 29:09
  would
• 29:10
  go
• 29:10
  for
• 29:10
  the
• 29:10
  weekend
• 29:11
  and
• 29:11
  that
• 29:11
  get
• 29:11
  proposed.
• 29:12
  And
• 29:12
  so
• 29:13
  I
• 29:13
  googled
• 29:13
  them
• 29:13
  and
• 29:14
  checked,
• 29:14
  do
• 29:14
  they
• 29:14
  have
• 29:14
  a
• 29:15
  license
• 29:15
  for
• 29:15
  weddings?
• 29:15
  No.
• 29:16
  Do
• 29:16
  they
• 29:16
  do
• 29:16
  weddings?
• 29:16
  No.
• 29:17
  So
• 29:17
  on
• 29:17
  a
• 29:18
  Sunday,
• 29:18
  took
• 29:19
  my
• 29:19
  business
• 29:19
  cards,
• 29:20
  drove
• 29:20
  the
• 29:21
  45
• 29:21
  minutes
• 29:22
  out
• 29:22
  there,
• 29:23
  knocked
• 29:23
  on
• 29:23
  their
• 29:23
  door
• 29:24
  and
• 29:24
  introduced
• 29:25
  myself.
• 29:25
  I
• 29:25
  literally
• 29:26
  said,
• 29:26
  hi,
• 29:27
  I'm
• 29:27
  Vim,
• 29:27
  I
• 29:27
  live
• 29:27
  locally,
• 29:28
  I
• 29:28
  love
• 29:28
  you
• 29:29
  space.
• 29:30
  And
• 29:30
  I
• 29:31
  have
• 29:31
  just,
• 29:32
  and
• 29:32
  I've
• 29:33
  just
• 29:33
  been
• 29:33
  certified
• 29:33
  as
• 29:34
  a
• 29:34
  wedding
• 29:34
  celebrant.
• 29:35
  And
• 29:35
  I
• 29:35
  think
• 29:35
  your
• 29:36
  space,
• 29:37
  especially
• 29:37
  the
• 29:37
  place
• 29:38
  where
• 29:38
  people
• 29:38
  get
• 29:39
  engaged,
• 29:39
  would
• 29:40
  be
• 29:40
  great
• 29:40
  for
• 29:41
  micro
• 29:41
  weddings
• 29:42
  or
• 29:42
  elopements.
• 29:43
  And
• 29:43
  she
• 29:44
  said,
• 29:44
  come
• 29:44
  in,
• 29:44
  let's
• 29:45
  talk
• 29:45
  more
• 29:45
  because
• 29:45
  it's
• 29:46
  been
• 29:46
  on
• 29:46
  our
• 29:46
  mind
• 29:47
  to
• 29:47
  one
• 29:47
  day
• 29:48
  do
• 29:48
  it.
• 29:49
  And
• 29:49
  so
• 29:49
  maybe
• 29:50
  this
• 29:50
  is
• 29:50
  it.
• 29:50
  That
• 29:51
  was
• 29:51
  four
• 29:51
  years
• 29:51
  ago.
• 29:52
  This
• 29:52
  year,
• 29:53
  six
• 29:53
  of
• 29:53
  my
• 29:53
  couples
• 29:54
  are
• 29:54
  from
• 29:55
  that
• 29:55
  place
• 29:55
  because
• 29:55
  I've
• 29:56
  become
• 29:56
  their
• 29:56
  resident
• 29:56
  celebrant.
• 29:57
  So
• 29:57
  as
• 29:57
  soon
• 29:58
  as
• 29:58
  a
• 29:58
  couple
• 29:58
  inquires
• 29:59
  to
• 29:59
  get
• 29:59
  married
• 29:59
  there,
• 30:00
  they
• 30:01
  automatically
• 30:01
  send
• 30:02
  the
• 30:03
  inquiry
• 30:03
  to
• 30:03
  me
• 30:03
  and
• 30:03
  say,
• 30:04
  we
• 30:04
  work
• 30:04
  with
• 30:04
  Vim,
• 30:04
  you
• 30:05
  don't
• 30:05
  have
• 30:05
  to,
• 30:05
  but
• 30:06
  we
• 30:06
  know
• 30:06
  her,
• 30:07
  she's
• 30:07
  great.
• 30:08
  She
• 30:08
  now
• 30:08
  knows
• 30:08
  our
• 30:09
  space
• 30:09
  and
• 30:09
  this
• 30:10
  is
• 30:10
  what
• 30:10
  she
• 30:10
  charges.
• 30:11
  So
• 30:11
  we
• 30:11
  would
• 30:11
  highly
• 30:12
  recommend
• 30:12
  her
• 30:13
  and
• 30:13
  every
• 30:13
  single
• 30:14
  couple
• 30:14
  they
• 30:14
  send
• 30:14
  to
• 30:15
  me,
• 30:15
  book
• 30:15
  with
• 30:15
  me.
• 30:16
  So,
• 30:17
  yeah,
• 30:18
  it's
• 30:18
  been
• 30:18
  a
• 30:18
  mix.
• 30:19
  It's
• 30:19
  a
• 30:19
  mix
• 30:19
  of
• 30:19
  where
• 30:19
  I
• 30:20
  get
• 30:20
  my
• 30:20
  couples.
• 30:20
  Some
• 30:21
  of
• 30:21
  it
• 30:21
  was
• 30:21
  my
• 30:21
  work.
• 30:22
  Well,
• 30:22
  all
• 30:23
  of
• 30:23
  it
• 30:23
  is
• 30:23
  my
• 30:23
  work
• 30:23
  in
• 30:23
  a
• 30:24
  way.
• 30:24
  Right.
• 30:24
  Because
• 30:24
  even
• 30:24
  if
• 30:25
  it's
• 30:25
  Instagram,
• 30:25
  it's
• 30:26
  all
• 30:26
  my
• 30:26
  work.
• 30:27
  But
• 30:27
  also,
• 30:28
  like
• 30:28
  I
• 30:29
  said,
• 30:29
  when
• 30:29
  you
• 30:29
  show
• 30:29
  up,
• 30:29
  then
• 30:30
  people
• 30:30
  know
• 30:30
  you
• 30:30
  exist.
• 30:31
  So
• 30:31
  show
• 30:31
  up,
• 30:31
  be
• 30:32
  visible.
• 30:33
  You
• 30:33
  know
• 30:33
  what's
• 30:33
  really
• 30:33
  interesting,
• 30:34
  hearing
• 30:34
  your
• 30:35
  story
• 30:35
  there,
• 30:35
  it
• 30:35
  kind
• 30:35
  of
• 30:36
  takes
• 30:36
  me
• 30:36
  full
• 30:36
  circle
• 30:37
  to
• 30:37
  something
• 30:37
  you
• 30:37
  said
• 30:37
  earlier
• 30:38
  because
• 30:39
  you
• 30:39
  talked
• 30:39
  about
• 30:39
  when
• 30:39
  you
• 30:40
  first
• 30:40
  qualified
• 30:41
  and
• 30:41
  you
• 30:41
  went
• 30:41
  knocking
• 30:42
  on
• 30:42
  venue
• 30:42
  doors
• 30:43
  and
• 30:43
  you
• 30:43
  were
• 30:44
  naive
• 30:44
  in
• 30:44
  that
• 30:45
  you
• 30:45
  were
• 30:45
  going
• 30:45
  to
• 30:45
  them
• 30:45
  thinking,
• 30:46
  well,
• 30:46
  they
• 30:46
  like
• 30:46
  me,
• 30:46
  therefore
• 30:47
  they
• 30:47
  want
• 30:47
  to
• 30:47
  support
• 30:47
  my
• 30:48
  business.
• 30:48
  And
• 30:49
  if
• 30:49
  we
• 30:49
  look
• 30:49
  at
• 30:49
  the
• 30:49
  heart
• 30:49
  of
• 30:50
  that.
• 30:50
  Where
• 30:50
  that
• 30:50
  didn't
• 30:51
  quite
• 30:51
  work
• 30:51
  is
• 30:52
  because
• 30:52
  really
• 30:52
  we
• 30:52
  are
• 30:52
  knocking
• 30:53
  on
• 30:53
  the
• 30:53
  door
• 30:53
  asking
• 30:54
  for
• 30:54
  something
• 30:55
  for
• 30:55
  ourselves
• 30:55
  that
• 30:55
  they
• 30:56
  don't
• 30:56
  need
• 30:56
  to
• 30:56
  give.
• 30:57
  Whereas
• 30:57
  in
• 30:57
  your
• 30:57
  second
• 30:58
  example
• 30:58
  where
• 30:58
  you
• 30:59
  talk
• 30:59
  about
• 30:59
  the
• 30:59
  venue,
• 31:00
  you'd
• 31:00
  seen
• 31:01
  something
• 31:01
  in
• 31:01
  what
• 31:01
  they
• 31:02
  had
• 31:02
  and
• 31:02
  you
• 31:02
  actually
• 31:03
  were
• 31:03
  going
• 31:03
  to
• 31:03
  give,
• 31:04
  you
• 31:04
  were
• 31:04
  going
• 31:04
  to
• 31:05
  inspire,
• 31:05
  you
• 31:05
  were
• 31:06
  going
• 31:06
  to
• 31:06
  tell
• 31:06
  them
• 31:06
  they
• 31:06
  had
• 31:07
  this
• 31:07
  great
• 31:07
  opportunity,
• 31:08
  you
• 31:08
  could
• 31:08
  help
• 31:09
  them
• 31:09
  with
• 31:09
  it.
• 31:09
  And
• 31:10
  so
• 31:10
  although
• 31:10
  it
• 31:10
  feels
• 31:11
  like
• 31:11
  the
• 31:11
  same
• 31:11
  thing,
• 31:11
  it's
• 31:11
  a
• 31:12
  very
• 31:12
  different
• 31:12
  experience.
• 31:13
  And
• 31:13
  I
• 31:13
  think,
• 31:13
  you
• 31:14
  know,
• 31:14
  it's
• 31:14
  something
• 31:14
  I
• 31:14
  teach
• 31:14
  all
• 31:15
  the
• 31:15
  time.
• 31:15
  When
• 31:15
  we
• 31:15
  want
• 31:15
  to
• 31:15
  partner
• 31:16
  with
• 31:16
  people,
• 31:17
  we
• 31:17
  need
• 31:17
  to
• 31:17
  think
• 31:17
  about
• 31:17
  what
• 31:18
  we
• 31:18
  can
• 31:18
  give
• 31:18
  and
• 31:19
  not
• 31:19
  what
• 31:19
  we
• 31:19
  can
• 31:19
  take.
• 31:20
  And
• 31:20
  I
• 31:20
  think,
• 31:21
  you
• 31:21
  know,
• 31:21
  two
• 31:21
  very
• 31:22
  similar
• 31:22
  experiences
• 31:23
  that,
• 31:23
  but
• 31:23
  with
• 31:23
  a
• 31:24
  totally
• 31:24
  different
• 31:24
  mindset
• 31:25
  and
• 31:25
  therefore
• 31:26
  a
• 31:26
  totally
• 31:26
  different
• 31:26
  outcome.
• 31:27
  So
• 31:27
  in
• 31:28
  the
• 31:28
  intro
• 31:28
  to
• 31:29
  today's
• 31:29
  podcast
• 31:30
  Vim,
• 31:30
  one
• 31:30
  of
• 31:30
  the
• 31:31
  things
• 31:31
  I
• 31:31
  talked
• 31:31
  about
• 31:32
  was
• 31:32
  how
• 31:33
  you
• 31:33
  feel
• 31:33
  like
• 31:34
  you
• 31:34
  are
• 31:34
  underrepresented
• 31:35
  in
• 31:35
  the
• 31:36
  celebrant
• 31:36
  industry.
• 31:37
  You
• 31:37
  have
• 31:38
  an
• 31:38
  African
• 31:38
  heritage.
• 31:39
  And
• 31:39
  we
• 31:39
  do
• 31:39
  see
• 31:40
  that.
• 31:40
  Actually
• 31:40
  a
• 31:41
  lot
• 31:41
  of
• 31:41
  celebrants
• 31:41
  that
• 31:42
  I
• 31:42
  come
• 31:42
  across
• 31:42
  are
• 31:43
  white,
• 31:43
  maybe
• 31:44
  middle
• 31:44
  aged
• 31:44
  women.
• 31:45
  And
• 31:45
  you
• 31:45
  definitely
• 31:45
  don't
• 31:46
  fit
• 31:46
  into
• 31:46
  the
• 31:46
  same
• 31:47
  demographic.
• 31:48
  So
• 31:48
  like
• 31:49
  you
• 31:49
  said,
• 31:49
  you
• 31:49
  use
• 31:50
  that
• 31:50
  as
• 31:50
  your
• 31:50
  superpower.
• 31:51
  So
• 31:51
  talk
• 31:51
  to
• 31:51
  me
• 31:52
  more
• 31:52
  about
• 31:52
  how
• 31:53
  you,
• 31:53
  you're
• 31:53
  using
• 31:54
  that
• 31:54
  and
• 31:54
  leaning
• 31:54
  into
• 31:55
  it
• 31:55
  rather
• 31:55
  than
• 31:55
  being
• 31:55
  afraid
• 31:56
  of
• 31:56
  it.
• 31:56
  Yeah,
• 31:56
  I
• 31:56
  think
• 31:57
  again,
• 31:57
  this
• 31:58
  comes
• 31:58
  from
• 31:58
  networking.
• 31:59
  I
• 31:59
  would
• 31:59
  walk
• 31:59
  into
• 31:59
  a
• 32:00
  networking
• 32:00
  space
• 32:01
  and,
• 32:02
  you
• 32:02
  know,
• 32:02
  almost
• 32:02
  everyone
• 32:03
  didn't
• 32:03
  look
• 32:03
  like
• 32:04
  me,
• 32:04
  which
• 32:04
  meant
• 32:05
  that
• 32:05
  I
• 32:05
  had
• 32:05
  to
• 32:06
  not
• 32:06
  only
• 32:07
  be
• 32:07
  confident
• 32:07
  in
• 32:08
  who
• 32:08
  I
• 32:08
  am,
• 32:08
  confident
• 32:09
  in
• 32:09
  the
• 32:09
  fact
• 32:09
  that
• 32:10
  I
• 32:10
  deserve
• 32:10
  to
• 32:10
  be
• 32:11
  in
• 32:11
  that
• 32:11
  space,
• 32:12
  but
• 32:12
  I
• 32:12
  also
• 32:12
  use
• 32:13
  the
• 32:13
  fact
• 32:13
  that
• 32:13
  people
• 32:15
  maybe
• 32:15
  underestimate
• 32:17
  me
• 32:17
  and
• 32:18
  I'm
• 32:18
  not
• 32:18
  in
• 32:18
  this
• 32:18
  definite.
• 32:19
  It's
• 32:19
  not
• 32:19
  coming
• 32:19
  from
• 32:19
  any
• 32:20
  other
• 32:20
  reason,
• 32:20
  except
• 32:21
  if
• 32:21
  you
• 32:21
  don't
• 32:21
  look
• 32:22
  like
• 32:22
  what
• 32:22
  we're
• 32:22
  used
• 32:22
  to,
• 32:23
  then
• 32:23
  we're
• 32:23
  not
• 32:23
  sure
• 32:23
  if
• 32:24
  you
• 32:24
  can
• 32:24
  offer
• 32:24
  what
• 32:25
  other
• 32:25
  people,
• 32:26
  what,
• 32:26
  what
• 32:26
  the
• 32:26
  people
• 32:27
  were
• 32:27
  used
• 32:27
  to,
• 32:27
  would
• 32:28
  offer.
• 32:28
  So
• 32:29
  I
• 32:29
  would
• 32:29
  make
• 32:29
  it
• 32:29
  a
• 32:30
  point
• 32:30
  to
• 32:31
  speak
• 32:31
  a
• 32:31
  lot.
• 32:32
  So
• 32:32
  I
• 32:33
  would
• 32:33
  force
• 32:33
  myself
• 32:34
  to
• 32:34
  introduce
• 32:34
  myself
• 32:34
  to
• 32:35
  as
• 32:35
  many
• 32:35
  people
• 32:35
  in
• 32:35
  a
• 32:35
  room
• 32:36
  as
• 32:36
  possible
• 32:36
  one,
• 32:37
  so
• 32:37
  that
• 32:37
  they
• 32:37
  could
• 32:37
  hear,
• 32:38
  you
• 32:39
  know,
• 32:39
  my
• 32:39
  enthusiasm
• 32:40
  for
• 32:40
  what
• 32:40
  I
• 32:41
  do.
• 32:41
  I
• 32:42
  would
• 32:43
  talk
• 32:44
  very
• 32:45
  deeply
• 32:45
  about
• 32:46
  how
• 32:46
  I
• 32:46
  construct
• 32:47
  a
• 32:47
  ceremony.
• 32:47
  And
• 32:47
  when
• 32:47
  I
• 32:48
  say
• 32:48
  deeply,
• 32:48
  I
• 32:48
  mean
• 32:49
  this
• 32:49
  poem
• 32:49
  that
• 32:49
  I
• 32:50
  keep
• 32:50
  talking
• 32:50
  about
• 32:50
  that
• 32:51
  I,
• 32:51
  that
• 32:51
  I
• 32:51
  write
• 32:52
  for
• 32:52
  all
• 32:52
  of
• 32:53
  my
• 32:53
  couples.
• 32:54
  It
• 32:54
  is
• 32:54
  something
• 32:55
  that
• 32:55
  is
• 32:55
  very
• 32:55
  creative.
• 32:56
  It's
• 32:56
  definitely
• 32:57
  a
• 32:57
  talent,
• 32:57
  not
• 32:58
  just
• 32:58
  a
• 32:58
  skill
• 32:58
  that
• 32:58
  I
• 32:58
  have.
• 32:59
  But
• 32:59
  no
• 32:59
  one
• 32:59
  will
• 32:59
  know
• 33:00
  you
• 33:00
  have
• 33:00
  it
• 33:00
  by
• 33:00
  just
• 33:00
  looking
• 33:00
  at
• 33:01
  you.
• 33:01
  So
• 33:01
  talk
• 33:02
  about
• 33:02
  your,
• 33:03
  you
• 33:03
  know,
• 33:04
  talk
• 33:04
  about
• 33:04
  your
• 33:04
  powers.
• 33:05
  So
• 33:05
  I
• 33:06
  think,
• 33:06
  yeah,
• 33:06
  so
• 33:06
  it's
• 33:07
  that.
• 33:07
  It's
• 33:07
  people
• 33:07
  expecting
• 33:08
  me
• 33:08
  not
• 33:08
  to
• 33:09
  be
• 33:09
  who
• 33:09
  I
• 33:09
  am.
• 33:10
  I
• 33:10
  use
• 33:10
  that
• 33:11
  to
• 33:11
  my
• 33:11
  advantage
• 33:11
  to
• 33:12
  then
• 33:12
  make
• 33:12
  them
• 33:12
  think,
• 33:12
  ah,
• 33:13
  I
• 33:14
  didn't
• 33:14
  realize
• 33:14
  that,
• 33:15
  you
• 33:15
  know,
• 33:15
  you
• 33:15
  do
• 33:16
  this
• 33:16
  or
• 33:16
  that
• 33:16
  you're
• 33:16
  in
• 33:16
  this
• 33:17
  role,
• 33:17
  and
• 33:17
  I
• 33:18
  don't.
• 33:18
  I
• 33:18
  didn't
• 33:18
  realize
• 33:18
  that
• 33:19
  you
• 33:19
  offer
• 33:19
  this
• 33:19
  on
• 33:20
  top
• 33:20
  of
• 33:20
  what
• 33:20
  other
• 33:20
  people
• 33:20
  offer.
• 33:21
  So
• 33:21
  my
• 33:22
  superpower,
• 33:23
  like
• 33:23
  I
• 33:23
  said,
• 33:23
  it's
• 33:24
  just
• 33:24
  that.
• 33:24
  It's
• 33:25
  just
• 33:25
  letting
• 33:25
  people
• 33:25
  underestimate
• 33:26
  me,
• 33:26
  but
• 33:27
  then
• 33:27
  making
• 33:27
  sure
• 33:28
  that
• 33:28
  by
• 33:28
  the
• 33:28
  time
• 33:29
  I
• 33:29
  leave
• 33:29
  their
• 33:29
  space,
• 33:30
  they
• 33:30
  know
• 33:30
  exactly
• 33:31
  who
• 33:31
  I
• 33:31
  am
• 33:31
  and
• 33:31
  what
• 33:31
  I
• 33:32
  offer.
• 33:32
  Yeah.
• 33:32
  And
• 33:33
  to
• 33:33
  be
• 33:33
  honest,
• 33:33
  what
• 33:34
  a
• 33:34
  shame
• 33:34
  that
• 33:34
  people
• 33:35
  do
• 33:35
  underestimate
• 33:36
  you,
• 33:36
  because
• 33:36
  they
• 33:37
  absolutely
• 33:37
  should
• 33:38
  not.
• 33:38
  And
• 33:38
  I
• 33:38
  think,
• 33:39
  you
• 33:39
  know,
• 33:39
  like
• 33:39
  you
• 33:40
  say,
• 33:40
  you
• 33:40
  don't
• 33:40
  think
• 33:40
  that's
• 33:40
  a.
• 33:41
  It's
• 33:41
  not
• 33:41
  a
• 33:41
  personal
• 33:42
  thing,
• 33:42
  you
• 33:43
  know,
• 33:43
  it's
• 33:43
  a.
• 33:43
  It's
• 33:43
  maybe
• 33:44
  just
• 33:44
  where
• 33:44
  we
• 33:44
  are
• 33:44
  in
• 33:44
  society,
• 33:45
  but
• 33:45
  we
• 33:46
  ought
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  be
• 33:46
  doing
• 33:46
  more
• 33:46
  to
• 33:47
  break
• 33:47
  that
• 33:47
  down
• 33:48
  and
• 33:48
  for
• 33:48
  that
• 33:48
  not
• 33:49
  to.
• 33:49
  To
• 33:49
  be
• 33:49
  a
• 33:49
  thing.
• 33:50
  Because
• 33:50
  why
• 33:50
  should
• 33:50
  we
• 33:51
  be,
• 33:51
  you
• 33:51
  know,
• 33:52
  thought
• 33:52
  of
• 33:53
  as,
• 33:53
  you
• 33:53
  know,
• 33:54
  underestimated
• 33:55
  just
• 33:55
  because
• 33:55
  of
• 33:56
  our
• 33:56
  culture,
• 33:57
  our
• 33:57
  background,
• 33:57
  our
• 33:57
  religion,
• 33:58
  what
• 33:58
  we
• 33:58
  look
• 33:58
  like?
• 33:58
  Like,
• 33:59
  absolutely
• 34:00
  not.
• 34:00
  We
• 34:00
  should
• 34:00
  be
• 34:00
  judged
• 34:01
  on
• 34:01
  our
• 34:01
  own
• 34:01
  merit.
• 34:01
  And,
• 34:02
  you
• 34:02
  know,
• 34:02
  for
• 34:02
  many
• 34:02
  people,
• 34:03
  they
• 34:03
  would
• 34:03
  back
• 34:04
  away
• 34:04
  in
• 34:04
  a
• 34:04
  situation
• 34:05
  like
• 34:05
  that.
• 34:05
  And
• 34:05
  what
• 34:06
  I
• 34:06
  love
• 34:06
  about
• 34:06
  you
• 34:06
  is
• 34:07
  you're
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  opposite.
• 34:07
  You're
• 34:08
  like,
• 34:08
  no,
• 34:08
  do
• 34:08
  not
• 34:09
  underestimate
• 34:09
  me.
• 34:10
  Here
• 34:10
  I
• 34:10
  am.
• 34:10
  You
• 34:11
  know,
• 34:11
  and
• 34:11
  we
• 34:11
  feel
• 34:11
  that
• 34:11
  sometimes,
• 34:12
  even
• 34:12
  as
• 34:12
  women,
• 34:13
  just
• 34:13
  as
• 34:13
  a
• 34:13
  gender
• 34:14
  thing,
• 34:14
  you
• 34:14
  know,
• 34:15
  that's
• 34:15
  the
• 34:15
  only
• 34:15
  thing
• 34:15
  I
• 34:15
  can
• 34:16
  relate
• 34:16
  to
• 34:16
  in
• 34:16
  that.
• 34:17
  But,
• 34:17
  you
• 34:17
  know,
• 34:17
  you
• 34:17
  can
• 34:17
  go
• 34:17
  in
• 34:18
  a
• 34:18
  space
• 34:18
  and
• 34:18
  people
• 34:18
  see
• 34:19
  you
• 34:19
  as
• 34:19
  a
• 34:19
  woman
• 34:19
  and
• 34:19
  think,
• 34:20
  well,
• 34:20
  I'm
• 34:20
  not.
• 34:20
  I
• 34:21
  can't
• 34:21
  learn
• 34:21
  anything
• 34:21
  from
• 34:22
  her.
• 34:22
  Which
• 34:22
  is
• 34:22
  ridiculous.
• 34:23
  And
• 34:23
  so
• 34:24
  I
• 34:24
  also
• 34:25
  understand
• 34:25
  that
• 34:25
  in
• 34:26
  that
• 34:26
  sense,
• 34:26
  that
• 34:26
  point
• 34:27
  of,
• 34:27
  like,
• 34:27
  we're
• 34:27
  having
• 34:27
  to
• 34:28
  work
• 34:28
  harder
• 34:28
  all
• 34:28
  the
• 34:29
  time
• 34:29
  to
• 34:29
  prove
• 34:30
  ourselves
• 34:30
  and
• 34:31
  prove
• 34:31
  our
• 34:31
  worth,
• 34:32
  and
• 34:32
  that,
• 34:32
  that
• 34:32
  can
• 34:32
  be
• 34:33
  exhausting
• 34:33
  as
• 34:34
  an
• 34:34
  industry
• 34:34
  as
• 34:34
  a
• 34:35
  whole.
• 34:35
  I
• 34:35
  do
• 34:35
  think
• 34:35
  we
• 34:35
  still
• 34:36
  have
• 34:36
  a
• 34:36
  massive
• 34:36
  problem
• 34:36
  with
• 34:37
  representation,
• 34:38
  both
• 34:38
  in
• 34:38
  terms
• 34:39
  of,
• 34:39
  like,
• 34:39
  representing
• 34:40
  couples
• 34:40
  from
• 34:41
  different
• 34:41
  cultures
• 34:41
  and
• 34:41
  backgrounds
• 34:42
  who
• 34:42
  are
• 34:42
  getting
• 34:42
  married.
• 34:43
  In
• 34:43
  your
• 34:44
  opinion,
• 34:44
  what
• 34:44
  can
• 34:44
  we
• 34:44
  do
• 34:45
  better
• 34:45
  as
• 34:46
  an
• 34:46
  industry
• 34:46
  as
• 34:46
  a
• 34:47
  whole?
• 34:47
  When
• 34:47
  I
• 34:48
  did
• 34:48
  my
• 34:48
  training,
• 34:48
  I
• 34:48
  actually,
• 34:49
  I
• 34:49
  trained
• 34:49
  with
• 34:49
  the
• 34:50
  Celebrants
• 34:50
  Collective
• 34:50
  because
• 34:51
  they
• 34:51
  were
• 34:51
  looking
• 34:51
  to
• 34:52
  train
• 34:52
  more
• 34:53
  black
• 34:53
  people
• 34:54
  or
• 34:54
  people
• 34:54
  from
• 34:55
  an
• 34:55
  African
• 34:56
  or
• 34:56
  Caribbean
• 34:57
  background.
• 34:57
  Because,
• 34:58
  like
• 34:58
  you
• 34:58
  said,
• 34:58
  there's
• 34:59
  not
• 34:59
  enough.
• 34:59
  There's
• 35:00
  not
• 35:00
  enough
• 35:00
  celebrants
• 35:01
  that
• 35:01
  look
• 35:01
  like
• 35:01
  me.
• 35:02
  And
• 35:02
  yet,
• 35:02
  obviously,
• 35:03
  there's
• 35:03
  people
• 35:03
  like
• 35:04
  me
• 35:04
  who
• 35:04
  are
• 35:04
  very
• 35:05
  good
• 35:05
  at
• 35:05
  what
• 35:05
  I
• 35:05
  do.
• 35:06
  And
• 35:07
  I
• 35:07
  think
• 35:07
  that's
• 35:07
  what
• 35:08
  we
• 35:08
  need
• 35:08
  as
• 35:08
  an
• 35:08
  industry.
• 35:09
  I
• 35:09
  think
• 35:09
  we
• 35:10
  need
• 35:10
  to,
• 35:11
  you
• 35:11
  know,
• 35:11
  training
• 35:12
  centers
• 35:13
  and
• 35:13
  giving
• 35:14
  people
• 35:14
  jobs,
• 35:15
  giving
• 35:15
  them
• 35:16
  to
• 35:16
  people
• 35:16
  who
• 35:16
  don't
• 35:17
  look
• 35:17
  like
• 35:17
  what
• 35:17
  people
• 35:18
  would
• 35:18
  expect,
• 35:19
  so
• 35:19
  that
• 35:19
  we
• 35:20
  can
• 35:20
  then
• 35:20
  over
• 35:21
  time
• 35:21
  change
• 35:22
  that
• 35:22
  narrative.
• 35:23
  If
• 35:23
  I
• 35:23
  was
• 35:24
  in
• 35:24
  a
• 35:24
  room
• 35:24
  of,
• 35:24
  you
• 35:25
  know,
• 35:25
  200
• 35:25
  people
• 35:26
  and
• 35:26
  someone
• 35:26
  said,
• 35:27
  I'm
• 35:27
  looking
• 35:27
  for
• 35:27
  a
• 35:27
  wedding
• 35:28
  celebrant
• 35:29
  and
• 35:29
  I
• 35:29
  can
• 35:29
  tell
• 35:30
  who
• 35:30
  the
• 35:30
  wedding
• 35:30
  celebrant
• 35:31
  in
• 35:31
  this
• 35:31
  room
• 35:31
  is,
• 35:32
  it
• 35:32
  is
• 35:32
  very
• 35:33
  unlikely
• 35:33
  that
• 35:33
  someone
• 35:34
  would
• 35:34
  point
• 35:34
  at
• 35:34
  me
• 35:34
  and
• 35:35
  expect
• 35:35
  me
• 35:35
  to
• 35:35
  be
• 35:35
  doing
• 35:36
  that
• 35:36
  role.
• 35:37
  So
• 35:37
  I
• 35:37
  would
• 35:37
  love
• 35:38
  the
• 35:38
  shift.
• 35:38
  You
• 35:39
  know,
• 35:39
  I
• 35:39
  would
• 35:39
  love
• 35:39
  to
• 35:39
  see
• 35:39
  a
• 35:40
  shift
• 35:40
  in
• 35:41
  more
• 35:41
  companies
• 35:41
  like
• 35:42
  the
• 35:42
  Celebrants
• 35:42
  Collective,
• 35:43
  saying
• 35:43
  we,
• 35:44
  we
• 35:44
  offer
• 35:44
  this
• 35:44
  discounted
• 35:45
  training
• 35:45
  for
• 35:45
  people
• 35:46
  maybe
• 35:46
  from
• 35:47
  which
• 35:48
  they
• 35:48
  do
• 35:48
  a
• 35:49
  lower
• 35:49
  income
• 35:49
  background.
• 35:50
  Sorry,
• 35:51
  a
• 35:51
  lower
• 35:51
  income
• 35:52
  household
• 35:53
  with
• 35:53
  a
• 35:53
  different
• 35:53
  background
• 35:54
  because
• 35:54
  we
• 35:55
  want
• 35:55
  more
• 35:55
  representation
• 35:56
  in
• 35:56
  the
• 35:56
  wedding
• 35:56
  industry.
• 35:57
  That's.
• 35:58
  I
• 35:58
  mean,
• 35:58
  that's
• 35:58
  the
• 35:58
  reason
• 35:58
  why
• 35:59
  I'm
• 35:59
  sat
• 35:59
  here
• 35:59
  talking
• 36:00
  to
• 36:00
  you
• 36:00
  today.
• 36:01
  They
• 36:01
  offered
• 36:02
  me
• 36:02
  something
• 36:02
  that
• 36:02
  I
• 36:02
  would
• 36:02
  have
• 36:03
  never
• 36:03
  been
• 36:03
  able
• 36:03
  to
• 36:04
  afford,
• 36:04
  something
• 36:04
  that
• 36:04
  I
• 36:05
  didn't
• 36:05
  know
• 36:05
  was
• 36:06
  available
• 36:06
  for
• 36:06
  someone
• 36:07
  like
• 36:07
  me.
• 36:08
  And
• 36:08
  because
• 36:09
  they
• 36:09
  set
• 36:09
  me
• 36:09
  up
• 36:09
  in
• 36:10
  that
• 36:10
  way,
• 36:10
  I
• 36:11
  can
• 36:11
  now
• 36:12
  paid
• 36:12
  forward,
• 36:12
  as
• 36:12
  it
• 36:12
  were.
• 36:13
  And
• 36:13
  it
• 36:13
  is
• 36:14
  something
• 36:14
  that
• 36:14
  I
• 36:14
  really.
• 36:15
  Yeah.
• 36:15
  As
• 36:15
  part
• 36:16
  of,
• 36:16
  as
• 36:16
  part
• 36:16
  of
• 36:17
  my
• 36:17
  goal
• 36:17
  in
• 36:17
  life,
• 36:18
  I
• 36:18
  definitely
• 36:18
  want
• 36:19
  to
• 36:19
  eventually
• 36:20
  have
• 36:20
  some
• 36:21
  sort
• 36:21
  of.
• 36:23
  Some
• 36:23
  sort
• 36:23
  of
• 36:23
  either
• 36:24
  like
• 36:24
  mentorship
• 36:25
  or
• 36:25
  training
• 36:26
  programs
• 36:26
  where
• 36:26
  someone
• 36:27
  who
• 36:28
  looks
• 36:28
  like
• 36:28
  me
• 36:28
  can
• 36:29
  come
• 36:29
  under
• 36:29
  my
• 36:29
  wing
• 36:30
  so
• 36:30
  that
• 36:30
  more
• 36:30
  people
• 36:30
  who
• 36:31
  look
• 36:31
  like
• 36:31
  me
• 36:31
  can
• 36:31
  be
• 36:32
  out
• 36:32
  there
• 36:32
  representing
• 36:33
  us.
• 36:34
  That
• 36:35
  makes
• 36:35
  sense.
• 36:35
  Yeah,
• 36:36
  it
• 36:36
  makes
• 36:36
  perfect
• 36:37
  sense.
• 36:37
  And
• 36:37
  I
• 36:37
  think,
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  know,
• 36:38
  something
• 36:38
  I've
• 36:38
  been
• 36:38
  thinking
• 36:39
  about
• 36:39
  as
• 36:39
  well
• 36:40
  is
• 36:40
  I
• 36:40
  think
• 36:40
  we
• 36:41
  all
• 36:41
  need
• 36:41
  to
• 36:41
  do
• 36:42
  better
• 36:42
  at
• 36:42
  putting
• 36:42
  ourselves
• 36:43
  in
• 36:43
  each
• 36:43
  other's
• 36:43
  spaces
• 36:44
  because,
• 36:44
  you
• 36:45
  know,
• 36:45
  sometimes,
• 36:45
  you
• 36:46
  know,
• 36:46
  we're
• 36:46
  surrounded.
• 36:47
  You
• 36:47
  know,
• 36:47
  if
• 36:47
  I
• 36:47
  go
• 36:47
  to
• 36:47
  an
• 36:47
  event
• 36:48
  and
• 36:48
  everyone
• 36:49
  at
• 36:49
  that
• 36:49
  event
• 36:49
  who's
• 36:50
  chosen
• 36:50
  to
• 36:50
  attend
• 36:50
  it
• 36:51
  looks
• 36:51
  like
• 36:51
  me,
• 36:51
  then
• 36:52
  they're
• 36:52
  the
• 36:52
  only
• 36:52
  people
• 36:53
  I
• 36:53
  can
• 36:53
  network
• 36:53
  with.
• 36:54
  Not
• 36:54
  because
• 36:54
  I
• 36:54
  don't
• 36:54
  want
• 36:55
  to
• 36:55
  network
• 36:55
  outside
• 36:55
  of
• 36:56
  that,
• 36:56
  but
• 36:56
  if
• 36:56
  they're
• 36:56
  the
• 36:56
  only
• 36:57
  people
• 36:57
  that
• 36:57
  come
• 36:57
  into
• 36:57
  the
• 36:58
  room,
• 36:58
  there
• 36:59
  is
• 36:59
  nowhere
• 36:59
  else
• 37:00
  for
• 37:00
  me
• 37:00
  to
• 37:00
  talk
• 37:01
  to
• 37:01
  them.
• 37:01
  And
• 37:01
  so
• 37:01
  I
• 37:02
  think
• 37:02
  it's
• 37:02
  on
• 37:02
  both
• 37:02
  of
• 37:02
  us.
• 37:03
  I
• 37:03
  think
• 37:03
  we
• 37:03
  need
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  go
• 37:03
  into
• 37:04
  more
• 37:04
  rooms
• 37:04
  that
• 37:04
  we
• 37:05
  feel
• 37:05
  uncomfortable.
• 37:06
  I
• 37:06
  think
• 37:06
  we
• 37:07
  need
• 37:07
  to
• 37:07
  be
• 37:07
  in
• 37:07
  more
• 37:07
  rooms
• 37:07
  where
• 37:08
  there's
• 37:08
  less
• 37:08
  people
• 37:09
  that
• 37:09
  look
• 37:09
  like
• 37:09
  us
• 37:10
  and
• 37:10
  more
• 37:10
  people
• 37:10
  that
• 37:10
  look
• 37:11
  different.
• 37:11
  But
• 37:11
  that's.
• 37:12
  That
• 37:12
  works
• 37:12
  both
• 37:13
  ways,
• 37:13
  you
• 37:13
  know,
• 37:13
  So
• 37:14
  I
• 37:14
  need
• 37:14
  people
• 37:14
  to
• 37:14
  come
• 37:15
  into
• 37:15
  my
• 37:15
  rooms,
• 37:15
  to
• 37:16
  come
• 37:16
  into
• 37:16
  my
• 37:16
  spaces,
• 37:16
  to
• 37:17
  come
• 37:17
  to
• 37:17
  my
• 37:17
  events
• 37:17
  from
• 37:18
  all
• 37:18
  different
• 37:18
  cultural
• 37:19
  backgrounds
• 37:19
  so
• 37:20
  that
• 37:20
  I
• 37:20
  can
• 37:20
  meet
• 37:20
  people
• 37:21
  and
• 37:21
  open
• 37:21
  my
• 37:22
  own
• 37:22
  experience
• 37:22
  and
• 37:23
  have
• 37:23
  different
• 37:23
  voices
• 37:24
  on
• 37:24
  my
• 37:24
  podcast,
• 37:24
  different
• 37:25
  voices
• 37:25
  on
• 37:25
  my
• 37:25
  stages,
• 37:26
  because
• 37:26
  I've
• 37:26
  got
• 37:27
  to
• 37:27
  know
• 37:27
  people
• 37:28
  in
• 37:28
  different
• 37:28
  ways.
• 37:28
  But
• 37:29
  if
• 37:29
  you
• 37:29
  don't
• 37:29
  come
• 37:29
  into
• 37:30
  the
• 37:30
  room
• 37:30
  and
• 37:30
  shoot
• 37:30
  your
• 37:30
  shot,
• 37:31
  as
• 37:31
  we've
• 37:31
  been
• 37:31
  saying
• 37:31
  all
• 37:31
  the
• 37:32
  way
• 37:32
  through,
• 37:32
  like,
• 37:33
  that's
• 37:33
  really
• 37:33
  difficult.
• 37:34
  And
• 37:34
  on
• 37:34
  the
• 37:34
  same
• 37:35
  wavelength,
• 37:36
  I've
• 37:36
  got
• 37:36
  to
• 37:36
  put
• 37:36
  myself
• 37:36
  in
• 37:37
  other
• 37:37
  rooms,
• 37:37
  speak
• 37:38
  at
• 37:38
  different
• 37:38
  events,
• 37:39
  and
• 37:39
  get
• 37:39
  to
• 37:39
  know
• 37:39
  people
• 37:39
  in
• 37:40
  different
• 37:40
  ways
• 37:40
  as
• 37:40
  well.
• 37:41
  So,
• 37:41
  you
• 37:42
  know,
• 37:42
  if
• 37:42
  people
• 37:42
  are
• 37:42
  listening
• 37:42
  and
• 37:43
  thinking,
• 37:43
  oh,
• 37:43
  that
• 37:43
  feels
• 37:43
  a
• 37:43
  bit
• 37:44
  scary,
• 37:44
  Vim,
• 37:44
  I
• 37:44
  don't
• 37:45
  want
• 37:45
  to
• 37:45
  go
• 37:45
  into
• 37:45
  a
• 37:45
  room
• 37:45
  of
• 37:46
  people
• 37:46
  that
• 37:46
  maybe
• 37:46
  aren't
• 37:47
  like
• 37:47
  me,
• 37:47
  don't
• 37:48
  have
• 37:48
  the
• 37:48
  same
• 37:48
  heritage,
• 37:49
  don't
• 37:49
  look
• 37:49
  like
• 37:49
  me.
• 37:50
  How
• 37:50
  would
• 37:50
  you
• 37:50
  encourage
• 37:51
  them
• 37:51
  to
• 37:51
  do
• 37:51
  more
• 37:52
  of
• 37:52
  that?
• 37:52
  I
• 37:52
  think
• 37:53
  100%,
• 37:53
  you
• 37:54
  just
• 37:54
  have
• 37:54
  to
• 37:54
  remember
• 37:54
  that
• 37:55
  you
• 37:55
  deserve
• 37:55
  to
• 37:55
  be
• 37:55
  in
• 37:56
  that
• 37:56
  space.
• 37:56
  Right?
• 37:57
  If
• 37:57
  it's
• 37:57
  a,
• 37:57
  if
• 37:57
  it's
• 37:58
  a
• 37:58
  ticket
• 37:58
  price
• 37:58
  you've
• 37:59
  paid,
• 37:59
  you've
• 37:59
  paid
• 38:00
  the
• 38:00
  same
• 38:00
  as
• 38:00
  everyone
• 38:00
  else.
• 38:01
  If
• 38:01
  it's
• 38:01
  a
• 38:02
  dream,
• 38:02
  you
• 38:02
  have
• 38:02
  to
• 38:03
  run
• 38:03
  a
• 38:03
  certain
• 38:03
  business
• 38:04
  or
• 38:04
  to
• 38:04
  make
• 38:04
  your
• 38:04
  business
• 38:05
  grow,
• 38:05
  that's
• 38:05
  your
• 38:06
  dream
• 38:06
  and
• 38:06
  it's
• 38:06
  deserving
• 38:07
  of
• 38:07
  being
• 38:08
  seen
• 38:08
  to
• 38:09
  its,
• 38:09
  you
• 38:09
  know,
• 38:09
  to
• 38:09
  its
• 38:10
  maximum
• 38:11
  fruition
• 38:12
  and
• 38:12
  fulfillment.
• 38:13
  So
• 38:13
  you
• 38:13
  deserve
• 38:14
  it.
• 38:14
  And
• 38:15
  once
• 38:15
  you
• 38:15
  walk
• 38:15
  in
• 38:16
  that
• 38:16
  space
• 38:17
  in
• 38:17
  that
• 38:17
  belief,
• 38:18
  you
• 38:18
  will
• 38:18
  know
• 38:18
  that
• 38:19
  in
• 38:19
  any
• 38:19
  room,
• 38:19
  no
• 38:20
  matter
• 38:20
  how
• 38:20
  it
• 38:20
  makes
• 38:20
  you
• 38:21
  feel,
• 38:22
  you
• 38:23
  deserve
• 38:23
  to
• 38:24
  be
• 38:24
  there.
• 38:25
  So
• 38:25
  make
• 38:25
  the
• 38:25
  most
• 38:25
  of
• 38:25
  it
• 38:26
  when
• 38:26
  you're
• 38:26
  there,
• 38:26
  because
• 38:26
  that's
• 38:27
  another
• 38:27
  thing,
• 38:27
  right?
• 38:28
  When
• 38:28
  I
• 38:28
  first
• 38:28
  started
• 38:29
  and
• 38:29
  the
• 38:29
  way
• 38:29
  I
• 38:29
  would
• 38:29
  have
• 38:30
  met
• 38:30
  Leena
• 38:30
  is
• 38:30
  I
• 38:31
  would
• 38:31
  walk
• 38:31
  into
• 38:31
  the
• 38:31
  space.
• 38:32
  I'm
• 38:33
  qualified
• 38:33
  to
• 38:33
  be
• 38:33
  in
• 38:33
  this
• 38:34
  space.
• 38:34
  I've
• 38:34
  paid
• 38:34
  to
• 38:34
  be
• 38:35
  in
• 38:35
  this
• 38:35
  space.
• 38:35
  But
• 38:36
  now
• 38:36
  I'm
• 38:36
  stood
• 38:36
  there
• 38:37
  feeling
• 38:37
  like.
• 38:38
  But
• 38:38
  I
• 38:38
  really
• 38:39
  don't
• 38:40
  feel
• 38:40
  like
• 38:41
  this
• 38:41
  is
• 38:41
  a
• 38:41
  space
• 38:41
  where
• 38:42
  I
• 38:42
  feel
• 38:42
  comfortable.
• 38:43
  Force
• 38:43
  yourself,
• 38:44
  force
• 38:44
  yourself
• 38:44
  to
• 38:45
  have
• 38:45
  those
• 38:45
  conversations.
• 38:45
  You'll
• 38:46
  find
• 38:46
  people
• 38:46
  are
• 38:46
  much
• 38:46
  more
• 38:47
  warm
• 38:47
  and
• 38:47
  welcoming
• 38:48
  than
• 38:48
  you
• 38:48
  realize.
• 38:49
  But
• 38:49
  you
• 38:49
  do
• 38:49
  have
• 38:50
  to
• 38:50
  put
• 38:50
  the
• 38:50
  work
• 38:50
  in
• 38:50
  as
• 38:51
  far
• 38:51
  as
• 38:51
  introducing
• 38:52
  yourself,
• 38:52
  speaking
• 38:53
  about
• 38:53
  what
• 38:53
  you
• 38:54
  do,
• 38:54
  making
• 38:54
  sure
• 38:55
  that
• 38:55
  people
• 38:55
  don't
• 38:55
  just
• 38:56
  remember
• 38:56
  you
• 38:56
  for
• 38:56
  being
• 38:57
  that
• 38:57
  you
• 38:58
  know
• 38:58
  that
• 38:58
  the
• 38:58
  only
• 38:59
  black
• 38:59
  face
• 38:59
  or
• 39:00
  the
• 39:00
  only,
• 39:01
  you
• 39:01
  know,
• 39:01
  one
• 39:01
  with
• 39:02
  from
• 39:02
  an
• 39:02
  African
• 39:02
  heritage
• 39:03
  in
• 39:03
  their
• 39:04
  space,
• 39:04
  let
• 39:05
  them
• 39:05
  say,
• 39:05
  yes,
• 39:05
  she's
• 39:06
  black
• 39:06
  and
• 39:06
  she's
• 39:06
  from
• 39:06
  an
• 39:07
  African
• 39:07
  background,
• 39:07
  but
• 39:08
  she's
• 39:08
  a
• 39:08
  fantastic
• 39:08
  celebrant.
• 39:09
  And
• 39:09
  these
• 39:09
  poems
• 39:10
  that
• 39:10
  she
• 39:10
  writes,
• 39:10
  have
• 39:11
  you
• 39:11
  seen
• 39:11
  her
• 39:11
  reviews?
• 39:11
  Have
• 39:12
  you
• 39:12
  seen
• 39:12
  her
• 39:12
  social
• 39:12
  media
• 39:13
  leave
• 39:13
  them
• 39:13
  with
• 39:14
  much
• 39:14
  more
• 39:14
  to
• 39:14
  talk
• 39:14
  about
• 39:15
  than
• 39:15
  who
• 39:15
  you
• 39:15
  walked
• 39:16
  into
• 39:16
  that
• 39:16
  space
• 39:16
  as
• 39:17
  100%
• 39:18
  agree.
• 39:18
  And
• 39:18
  I
• 39:18
  think
• 39:18
  sometimes
• 39:19
  we
• 39:19
  carry
• 39:19
  those
• 39:20
  feelings
• 39:20
  into
• 39:20
  a
• 39:20
  space
• 39:21
  and
• 39:21
  then
• 39:21
  we
• 39:22
  sort
• 39:22
  of
• 39:22
  self
• 39:22
  reflect
• 39:23
  so
• 39:23
  we
• 39:24
  may
• 39:24
  feel
• 39:24
  uncomfortable.
• 39:24
  What
• 39:25
  we
• 39:25
  need
• 39:25
  to
• 39:25
  remember
• 39:26
  is
• 39:26
  probably
• 39:26
  everyone
• 39:27
  in
• 39:27
  that
• 39:27
  space
• 39:27
  is
• 39:28
  feeling
• 39:28
  uncomfortable
• 39:28
  for
• 39:28
  their
• 39:29
  own
• 39:29
  reasons,
• 39:30
  whether
• 39:30
  they're
• 39:30
  a
• 39:30
  bit
• 39:31
  shy,
• 39:31
  whether
• 39:31
  they
• 39:31
  feel
• 39:32
  like
• 39:32
  someone's
• 39:32
  better
• 39:33
  than
• 39:33
  them
• 39:33
  at
• 39:33
  something,
• 39:34
  their
• 39:34
  prices
• 39:34
  aren't
• 39:35
  good
• 39:35
  enough.
• 39:35
  You
• 39:35
  know,
• 39:36
  we
• 39:36
  all
• 39:36
  feel
• 39:36
  uncomfortable
• 39:37
  in
• 39:37
  different
• 39:37
  spaces,
• 39:38
  but
• 39:38
  we
• 39:38
  need
• 39:38
  to
• 39:39
  lean
• 39:39
  into
• 39:40
  what
• 39:40
  you
• 39:40
  have
• 39:40
  said
• 39:41
  throughout
• 39:41
  this
• 39:41
  conversation,
• 39:42
  like,
• 39:42
  just
• 39:42
  go
• 39:42
  in
• 39:42
  as
• 39:42
  yourself.
• 39:43
  You
• 39:44
  deserve
• 39:44
  to
• 39:44
  be
• 39:44
  there
• 39:44
  no
• 39:45
  more
• 39:45
  or
• 39:45
  no
• 39:45
  less
• 39:45
  than
• 39:46
  anyone
• 39:46
  else.
• 39:46
  I
• 39:47
  talk
• 39:47
  about
• 39:47
  this
• 39:47
  a
• 39:47
  lot
• 39:47
  on
• 39:47
  my
• 39:48
  podcast.
• 39:48
  I
• 39:48
  hate
• 39:49
  it
• 39:49
  if
• 39:49
  anyone
• 39:49
  thinks
• 39:50
  that
• 39:50
  they
• 39:50
  can't
• 39:50
  come
• 39:50
  succumb
• 39:50
  to
• 39:51
  anything
• 39:51
  I
• 39:51
  ever
• 39:51
  do
• 39:52
  because
• 39:52
  they're
• 39:52
  not
• 39:52
  good
• 39:52
  enough.
• 39:53
  Like,
• 39:53
  everyone
• 39:54
  is
• 39:54
  good
• 39:54
  enough
• 39:55
  to
• 39:55
  be
• 39:55
  in
• 39:55
  my
• 39:55
  space.
• 39:55
  There
• 39:56
  is
• 39:56
  no
• 39:56
  levels
• 39:57
  you
• 39:57
  can
• 39:57
  be
• 39:57
  earning
• 39:57
  multi
• 39:58
  millions
• 39:58
  of
• 39:58
  pounds
• 39:58
  or
• 39:59
  ten
• 39:59
  pounds.
• 39:59
  I
• 39:59
  do
• 40:00
  not
• 40:00
  care.
• 40:00
  If
• 40:00
  you
• 40:00
  want
• 40:00
  to
• 40:01
  be
• 40:01
  there
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  learn
• 40:01
  and
• 40:02
  to
• 40:02
  grow
• 40:02
  and
• 40:02
  to
• 40:02
  network,
• 40:03
  come
• 40:04
  into
• 40:04
  the
• 40:04
  space
• 40:04
  and
• 40:05
  don't
• 40:05
  put
• 40:05
  your
• 40:05
  own
• 40:06
  worries
• 40:07
  ahead
• 40:07
  of
• 40:08
  that.
• 40:08
  Now,
• 40:08
  if
• 40:08
  you're
• 40:08
  going
• 40:09
  into
• 40:09
  a
• 40:09
  space
• 40:09
  that
• 40:10
  the
• 40:10
  person
• 40:10
  leading
• 40:10
  it
• 40:11
  does
• 40:11
  not
• 40:11
  feel
• 40:11
  that
• 40:12
  way,
• 40:12
  then
• 40:12
  that
• 40:13
  might
• 40:13
  not
• 40:13
  be
• 40:13
  a
• 40:13
  space
• 40:13
  you
• 40:14
  want
• 40:14
  to
• 40:14
  be
• 40:14
  in
• 40:14
  anyway.
• 40:15
  And
• 40:15
  so
• 40:15
  you
• 40:15
  got
• 40:15
  to
• 40:15
  be
• 40:16
  discerning.
• 40:16
  You
• 40:17
  got
• 40:17
  to
• 40:17
  try
• 40:17
  places,
• 40:18
  you
• 40:18
  know,
• 40:18
  you
• 40:18
  may
• 40:18
  go.
• 40:18
  I've
• 40:19
  been
• 40:19
  to
• 40:19
  events
• 40:19
  and
• 40:19
  thought,
• 40:20
  yeah,
• 40:20
  this
• 40:20
  isn't
• 40:21
  my
• 40:21
  vibe.
• 40:21
  I
• 40:21
  won't
• 40:22
  come
• 40:22
  here
• 40:22
  again.
• 40:22
  But
• 40:22
  I'm
• 40:23
  glad
• 40:23
  I
• 40:23
  did
• 40:23
  it
• 40:23
  once.
• 40:24
  No,
• 40:24
  honestly,
• 40:25
  I
• 40:25
  mean,
• 40:25
  now
• 40:25
  that
• 40:25
  we're
• 40:26
  talking
• 40:26
  about
• 40:26
  it,
• 40:26
  actually,
• 40:26
  the.
• 40:27
  The
• 40:27
  reason
• 40:27
  I
• 40:28
  sent
• 40:28
  you
• 40:28
  the
• 40:28
  email
• 40:28
  was
• 40:29
  because
• 40:29
  my
• 40:30
  love
• 40:30
  for
• 40:30
  how
• 40:30
  you
• 40:30
  talk
• 40:31
  about
• 40:31
  inclusivity.
• 40:32
  I
• 40:32
  know
• 40:33
  I
• 40:33
  could
• 40:33
  do
• 40:35
  the
• 40:35
  big
• 40:36
  I
• 40:36
  am
• 40:36
  and
• 40:37
  talking
• 40:37
  about
• 40:37
  how
• 40:37
  I
• 40:37
  walk
• 40:37
  into
• 40:38
  spaces
• 40:38
  and
• 40:39
  demand
• 40:39
  that
• 40:40
  people
• 40:40
  know
• 40:40
  who
• 40:40
  I
• 40:41
  am.
• 40:41
  But
• 40:41
  of
• 40:41
  course,
• 40:42
  it
• 40:42
  was
• 40:43
  a
• 40:43
  confidence
• 40:43
  thing.
• 40:43
  And
• 40:44
  so,
• 40:44
  of
• 40:44
  course,
• 40:44
  course,
• 40:44
  it
• 40:45
  took
• 40:45
  me
• 40:45
  a
• 40:45
  while
• 40:45
  to
• 40:45
  be
• 40:46
  here,
• 40:46
  but
• 40:46
  if
• 40:47
  I'd
• 40:47
  had
• 40:47
  more
• 40:48
  people
• 40:48
  like
• 40:48
  you
• 40:49
  who
• 40:49
  run
• 40:50
  events,
• 40:50
  conferences
• 40:51
  and
• 40:51
  make
• 40:52
  it
• 40:52
  a
• 40:52
  point
• 40:52
  to
• 40:52
  say
• 40:53
  over
• 40:53
  and
• 40:53
  over
• 40:53
  again,
• 40:54
  again,
• 40:54
  you
• 40:55
  are
• 40:55
  welcome.
• 40:55
  This
• 40:56
  is
• 40:56
  an
• 40:56
  inclusive
• 40:57
  space.
• 40:57
  I
• 40:57
  don't
• 40:58
  care
• 40:58
  how
• 40:58
  much
• 40:58
  you
• 40:58
  earn.
• 40:58
  I
• 40:59
  don't
• 40:59
  care
• 40:59
  where
• 40:59
  you
• 40:59
  are
• 40:59
  in
• 41:00
  business,
• 41:00
  whether
• 41:00
  you
• 41:01
  consider
• 41:01
  yourself
• 41:02
  a
• 41:02
  high
• 41:02
  flyer
• 41:02
  or
• 41:03
  whether
• 41:03
  you're
• 41:03
  just
• 41:03
  starting
• 41:04
  out,
• 41:04
  I
• 41:04
  promise
• 41:05
  there's
• 41:05
  someone
• 41:05
  you'll
• 41:05
  be
• 41:06
  able
• 41:06
  to
• 41:06
  relate
• 41:06
  to
• 41:07
  because
• 41:07
  you
• 41:07
  are
• 41:07
  welcome
• 41:08
  in
• 41:08
  this
• 41:08
  space
• 41:08
  that
• 41:08
  I'm
• 41:09
  creating.
• 41:09
  And
• 41:10
  that's
• 41:10
  your
• 41:10
  voice.
• 41:10
  That's
• 41:11
  what
• 41:11
  I've,
• 41:14
  you
• 41:14
  know,
• 41:15
  learned
• 41:16
  that
• 41:16
  you
• 41:16
  are
• 41:16
  from
• 41:17
  your
• 41:17
  podcast
• 41:18
  and
• 41:18
  how
• 41:18
  you
• 41:18
  speak.
• 41:19
  And
• 41:19
  so.
• 41:20
  So
• 41:20
  hats
• 41:20
  off
• 41:20
  to
• 41:21
  you.
• 41:21
  I
• 41:21
  know
• 41:21
  where
• 41:21
  Prose
• 41:22
  Live
• 41:22
  will
• 41:22
  be
• 41:22
  a
• 41:23
  really
• 41:23
  amazing
• 41:24
  inclusive
• 41:24
  space.
• 41:25
  I'm
• 41:25
  not
• 41:25
  anxious
• 41:26
  about
• 41:26
  coming
• 41:26
  because
• 41:27
  I
• 41:27
  know
• 41:27
  for
• 41:28
  a
• 41:28
  fact
• 41:28
  that
• 41:28
  as
• 41:28
  soon
• 41:29
  as
• 41:29
  I
• 41:29
  walk
• 41:29
  in,
• 41:29
  it's
• 41:30
  somewhere
• 41:30
  that
• 41:31
  I'm
• 41:31
  very
• 41:31
  welcome.
• 41:32
  Yeah,

  absolutely.
• 41:33
  Everyone
• 41:33
  is
• 41:34
  a
• 41:34
  friend
• 41:34
  of
• 41:34
  mine
• 41:34
  if

  they're
• 41:35
  coming
• 41:35
  into
• 41:35
  my
• 41:36
  space
• 41:36
  for
• 41:37
  sure.
• 41:37
  And
• 41:38
  I
• 41:38
  think
• 41:38
  a
• 41:38
  lot,
• 41:39
  so
• 41:39
  much
• 41:39
  of
• 41:39
  it.
• 41:39
  Boils
• 41:39
  down
• 41:40
  to
• 41:40
  confidence.
• 41:40
  And
• 41:41
  what
• 41:41
  I
• 41:41
  love
• 41:41
  about
• 41:41
  you,
• 41:42
  Vim,
• 41:42
  is,
• 41:42
  you
• 41:43
  know,
• 41:43
  we
• 41:43
  said
• 41:43
  it
• 41:43
  all
• 41:43
  the
• 41:43
  way
• 41:43
  through
• 41:44
  this.
• 41:44
  You
• 41:44
  reached
• 41:45
  out
• 41:45
  to
• 41:45
  me,
• 41:45
  you
• 41:45
  said,
• 41:45
  hey,
• 41:46
  Becca,
• 41:46
  I've
• 41:46
  got
• 41:47
  this
• 41:47
  to
• 41:47
  share.
• 41:47
  Can
• 41:48
  I
• 41:48
  come
• 41:48
  on
• 41:48
  your
• 41:48
  podcast?
• 41:49
  And
• 41:49
  I
• 41:49
  said,
• 41:50
  yes.
• 41:50
  And
• 41:50
  so
• 41:50
  often
• 41:51
  we're
• 41:51
  so
• 41:51
  anticipating
• 41:52
  a
• 41:52
  no
• 41:53
  that
• 41:53
  we
• 41:53
  don't
• 41:53
  even
• 41:53
  send
• 41:54
  the
• 41:54
  email.
• 41:54
  And
• 41:55
  sometimes
• 41:55
  it
• 41:55
  might
• 41:55
  be
• 41:55
  a
• 41:55
  no,
• 41:56
  sometimes
• 41:56
  it's
• 41:56
  not
• 41:56
  the
• 41:56
  right
• 41:56
  fit.
• 41:57
  But
• 41:57
  we
• 41:57
  can't
• 41:57
  put
• 41:57
  what
• 41:58
  we're
• 41:58
  thinking
• 41:58
  on
• 41:58
  someone
• 41:59
  else
• 41:59
  because
• 41:59
  sometimes
• 42:00
  we
• 42:00
  just
• 42:00
  land
• 42:01
  in
• 42:01
  the
• 42:01
  inbox.
• 42:01
  We
• 42:01
  turn
• 42:02
  up
• 42:02
  at
• 42:02
  the
• 42:02
  venue
• 42:03
  just
• 42:03
  when
• 42:03
  they're
• 42:03
  thinking,
• 42:04
  oh,
• 42:04
  maybe
• 42:04
  weddings
• 42:05
  is
• 42:05
  for
• 42:05
  us.
• 42:06
  And
• 42:06
  it
• 42:06
  turns
• 42:06
  into
• 42:06
  this
• 42:07
  huge
• 42:07
  business
• 42:07
  opportunity.
• 42:08
  So
• 42:08
  I
• 42:08
  think
• 42:08
  people
• 42:08
  listening,
• 42:09
  what
• 42:09
  you
• 42:09
  need
• 42:09
  to
• 42:09
  take
• 42:09
  from
• 42:10
  today's
• 42:10
  conversation
• 42:11
  is
• 42:11
  be
• 42:11
  unapologetically
• 42:12
  yourself
• 42:13
  and
• 42:14
  just
• 42:14
  go
• 42:14
  for
• 42:14
  it.
• 42:14
  Put
• 42:15
  yourself
• 42:15
  in
• 42:15
  spaces
• 42:16
  so
• 42:16
  you
• 42:16
  can
• 42:16
  be
• 42:16
  seen
• 42:16
  and
• 42:17
  heard
• 42:17
  and
• 42:17
  people
• 42:18
  can
• 42:18
  see
• 42:19
  who
• 42:19
  you
• 42:19
  are
• 42:19
  and
• 42:20
  why
• 42:20
  you're
• 42:20
  amazing
• 42:21
  at
• 42:21
  what
• 42:21
  you
• 42:21
  do.
• 42:22
  Vim,
• 42:23
  before
• 42:23
  I
• 42:23
  let
• 42:24
  you
• 42:24
  go,
• 42:24
  I
• 42:24
  always
• 42:25
  end
• 42:25
  my
• 42:25
  podcast
• 42:25
  with
• 42:26
  the
• 42:26
  same
• 42:26
  question,
• 42:26
  which
• 42:27
  is
• 42:27
  this.
• 42:27
  What's
• 42:28
  one
• 42:28
  thing
• 42:28
  you
• 42:28
  personally
• 42:29
  wish
• 42:29
  you'd
• 42:29
  known
• 42:29
  sooner
• 42:30
  in
• 42:30
  your
• 42:30
  own
• 42:30
  business?
• 42:31
  I
• 42:31
  think
• 42:31
  the
• 42:32
  importance
• 42:32
  of
• 42:32
  getting
• 42:33
  a
• 42:33
  coach.
• 42:34
  The
• 42:34
  industry
• 42:34
  is
• 42:35
  saturated
• 42:36
  and
• 42:36
  there's
• 42:36
  so
• 42:36
  many
• 42:37
  people
• 42:37
  that
• 42:37
  do
• 42:37
  the
• 42:38
  job
• 42:38
  well.
• 42:39
  So
• 42:39
  if
• 42:39
  you're
• 42:39
  coming
• 42:39
  into
• 42:39
  an
• 42:40
  industry,
• 42:41
  just
• 42:41
  because
• 42:41
  you
• 42:41
  have
• 42:42
  a
• 42:42
  skill
• 42:42
  or
• 42:42
  talent
• 42:43
  doesn't
• 42:43
  mean
• 42:44
  you
• 42:44
  know
• 42:44
  the
• 42:44
  runnings
• 42:45
  of
• 42:45
  a
• 42:45
  business.
• 42:46
  It
• 42:46
  doesn't
• 42:46
  mean
• 42:46
  you
• 42:46
  know
• 42:47
  exactly
• 42:47
  who
• 42:48
  to
• 42:48
  go
• 42:48
  to
• 42:48
  and
• 42:48
  where
• 42:49
  to
• 42:49
  go
• 42:49
  to
• 42:49
  to
• 42:50
  almost
• 42:50
  guarantee
• 42:51
  success.
• 42:52
  So
• 42:52
  I
• 42:52
  wish
• 42:52
  I'd
• 42:53
  known
• 42:53
  that
• 42:53
  sooner.
• 42:53
  I
• 42:54
  wish.
• 42:54
  I
• 42:54
  just
• 42:54
  thought,
• 42:55
  I
• 42:55
  need
• 42:55
  to
• 42:56
  find
• 42:56
  someone
• 42:56
  who's
• 42:57
  been
• 42:57
  in
• 42:57
  the
• 42:57
  industry,
• 42:58
  who's
• 42:58
  coaching
• 42:59
  and
• 42:59
  teaching
• 43:00
  people
• 43:00
  about
• 43:00
  how
• 43:00
  to
• 43:00
  succeed,
• 43:01
  and
• 43:01
  then
• 43:02
  just
• 43:02
  hang
• 43:02
  on
• 43:03
  to
• 43:03
  them
• 43:03
  for
• 43:03

• 43:03
  long
• 43:03
  as
• 43:04
  I
• 43:04
  need
• 43:04
  rather
• 43:05
  than
• 43:05
  trying
• 43:05
  to
• 43:05
  do
• 43:05
  everything
• 43:06
  myself
• 43:06
  at
• 43:06
  the
• 43:06
  start.

  been

  Honestly,

  it's

  been

  one
• 43:50
  of

  the

  best
• 43:50
  conversations

  I've

  in
• 43:51
  a
• 43:52
  really
• 43:52
  long
• 43:52
  time.
• 43:52
  I
• 43:53
  hope
• 43:53
  we
• 43:53
  can
• 43:53
  do
• 43:53
  this
• 43:53
  again

  sometime
• 43:54
  soon
• 43:54
  and
• 43:55
  have
• 43:55
  a
• 43:55
  really,
• 43:55
  really,
• 43:56
  really
• 43:56
  lovely
• 43:57
  rest
• 43:57
  of
• 43:57
  your
• 43:57
  week.
• 43:58
  What
• 43:58
  a
• 43:58
  fantastic
• 43:59
  conversation
• 43:59
  me
• 44:00
  and
• 44:00
  Vim
• 44:00
  have
• 44:00
  just
• 44:00
  had.
• 44:01
  There
• 44:01
  is
• 44:01
  so
• 44:01
  much
• 44:01
  there.
• 44:02
  I
• 44:02
  could
• 44:02
  have
• 44:02
  spoken
• 44:02
  to
• 44:02
  her
• 44:02
  all
• 44:03
  day
• 44:03
  about
• 44:04
  all
• 44:04
  of
• 44:04
  these
• 44:04
  different
• 44:04
  nuances,
• 44:05
  but
• 44:05
  what
• 44:05
  really
• 44:05
  shines
• 44:06
  for
• 44:06
  me
• 44:06
  is
• 44:06
  how
• 44:07
  she's
• 44:07
  being
• 44:07
  unapologetically
• 44:08
  herself
• 44:08
  while
• 44:09
  also
• 44:09
  being
• 44:09
  a
• 44:10
  great
• 44:10
  representative
• 44:11
  for
• 44:11
  the
• 44:11
  industry
• 44:12
  and
• 44:12
  showing
• 44:12
  that
• 44:12
  you
• 44:13
  can
• 44:13
  walk
• 44:13
  into
• 44:13
  any
• 44:13
  room
• 44:14
  and
• 44:14
  show
• 44:14
  people
• 44:15
  exactly
• 44:15
  what
• 44:15
  you
• 44:16
  can
• 44:16
  do
• 44:16
  and
• 44:17
  be
• 44:17
  successful.
• 44:17
  It
• 44:17
  doesn't
• 44:18
  matter
• 44:18
  what
• 44:18
  you
• 44:18
  look
• 44:18
  like,
• 44:19
  your
• 44:19
  background,
• 44:19
  your
• 44:20
  religion,
• 44:20
  your
• 44:21
  gender.
• 44:21
  I
• 44:21
  don't
• 44:22
  care.
• 44:22
  Just
• 44:22
  be
• 44:22
  unapologetically
• 44:23
  yourself
• 44:24
  and
• 44:24
  serve
• 44:24
  your
• 44:24
  couples
• 44:25
  well.
• 44:25
  I'll
• 44:26
  see
• 44:26
  you
• 44:26
  all
• 44:26
  next
• 44:26
  time.
