- 0:00Welcome back. Here are the six quick questions. Question number one is what's your why? Why do you do what you do? Because I love it. I love it. I love that. So simple. Amazing. Question number two is what do you think has been the number one marketing moment that made your business pop?
- 0:30Oh, that's a tough one. I think when we started using the language for women who mean business. Love that. Did I also see you trademarked that? We did. So cool. Yeah, we did. We did. I need to start using it in more places now. Yeah, for sure. Question number three is where do you hang out to get smarter? What kind of books are you reading or podcasts are you listening to to get smarter?
- 0:56You know, that is such a hard question right now because the last year I feel like I'm just getting dumber. And I don't know if it's just because of the COVID. It's like that Groundhog's Day vibe is that I've listened to every podcast. I've tried to read every book and I feel like,
- 1:12I'm losing, I don't know, touch of my intelligence. Like I feel like I'm getting more distant and I don't know if it's just because it's all in solitude and there's not a lot of like communication with other people because I feel like I get smarter when I'm traveling, when I'm around other cultures, when I'm talking to other people, when I'm developing conversation and when I'm speaking different languages, like I just feel like there's something about travel and community and commerce that makes me feel more intelligent.
- 1:41because I'm using my language when it's all inside, right? You're listening, you're reading. I feel like there's a lack of, I don't know. I get it. Right. Like it's like, it's energy. You like, you're lacking the energy and that kind of like you thrive on that. Yeah. There's only so much you can consume where you feel like you're just hearing your same voice in your head. Right. Right.

You again, you again, question number four is how do you in the day, what are your AM or PM rituals that keep you feeling happy and successful and motivated when I'm up early in the morning and I get up and I exercise is when my motivation is the best. Now, do I do that all the time? Yeah.
- 2:25But is that my thriving moment? Absolutely. Like I'm talking like 6am workout, coffee, podcast, like, and then off to work, like maybe a walk with the dogs. Like that's my jam. And if I could have that every day, like that's the rhythm that I love most. I have the most energy then too. Totally. I'm the same. Not that I ever do it. I never get up that early, but yeah.
- 2:45recently. Then sometimes like, I guess, and again, this last year, and I got to, I got to let go of this last year, right? I got to just like, it's holding onto my legs. It's just like biting on my ankles. But like, I think that, that my husband wakes up at 530. So like I'm up cause our house is small and I can hear him like tinkering around. I could smell the coffee. I'm like, time to get up. Got to go. Okay. Question number five. If you only had a
- 3:15I'd give a little bit to every single employee. Amazing. And last question, question number six is how do you deal with failure? What is your mindset and approach to it? Wide-eyed. Because if you can recognize failure, you can create a path to better success in the future.
