2:27
Let's
2:28
get
2:28
going
2:28
with
2:28
today's
2:29
episode.
0:35
Today
2:30
I'm
2:30
chatting
2:30
with
2:31
toastmaster
2:31
John
2:32
Heisman.
2:33
Having
2:33
graduated
2:33
from
2:34
the
2:34
Professional
2:34
Toastmaster
2:35
Academy
2:35
in
2:36
London,
2:36
he
2:36
now
2:36
helps
2:37
his
2:37
clients,
2:37
weddings
2:37
and
2:38
events
2:38
run
2:38
smoothly.
2:39
When
2:39
I
2:40
first
2:40
met
2:40
John,
2:41
I
2:41
knew
2:41
he
2:41
was
2:41
a
2:41
lot
2:42
of
2:42
fun
2:42
and
2:42
he
2:43
told
2:43
me
2:43
he
2:43
is
2:43
not
2:44
the
2:44
stereotypical
2:45
toastmaster.
2:46
I
2:46
can't
2:46
wait
2:46
to
2:47
find
2:47
out
2:47
more
2:47
about
2:47
his
2:48
journey.
2:48
John,
2:49
welcome
2:49
to
2:49
the
2:49
podcast.
2:50
Thank
2:50
you
2:50
so
2:51
much,
2:51
Becca.
2:51
Lovely
2:52
to
2:52
be
2:52
here.
2:52
Lovely
2:53
to
2:53
talk
2:53
to
2:53
you.
2:54
Thank
2:54
you
2:54
for
2:54
that
2:55
great
2:55
introduction.
2:56
Oh,
2:56
it's
2:56
an
2:56
absolute
2:57
pleasure.
2:57
I'm
2:57
really
2:57
looking
2:58
forward
2:58
to
2:58
diving
2:59
into
2:59
your
3:00
career
3:00
path
3:01
and
3:01
how
3:01
you
3:01
got
3:02
into
3:02
weddings.
3:02
So
3:03
take
3:03
me
3:04
back
3:04
because
3:04
I
3:04
know
3:05
you've
3:05
had
3:05
lots
3:05
of
3:06
different
3:06
jobs
3:06
over
3:07
your
3:07
lifetime.
3:08
So
3:08
tell
3:08
me
3:09
some
3:09
of
3:09
the
3:09
things
3:09
you've
3:10
done
3:10
in
3:10
your
3:10
career
3:10
that's
3:11
led
3:11
you
3:11
to
3:11
this
3:11
point.
3:12
Oh,
3:12
okay,
3:12
Good
3:13
one.
3:14
Yes,
3:15
number
3:16
one,
3:16
I
3:16
would
3:16
say
3:17
a
3:17
lot
3:17
of
3:17
jobs,
3:18
not
3:18
careers,
3:19
but
3:19
in
3:20
no
3:20
particular
3:21
order.
3:21
I've
3:22
been
3:22
a
3:23
toddler,
3:25
schoolboy,
3:26
then
3:27
trainee
3:27
chef,
3:29
turf
3:29
accountant,
3:30
worked
3:30
in
3:30
the
3:31
bookies
3:31
for
3:31
a
3:32
long,
3:32
long
3:33
time
3:33
as
3:33
a
3:33
trainee,
3:34
then
3:34
a
3:34
manager,
3:35
branch
3:35
manager,
3:37
golf
3:37
equipment
3:38
salesman,
3:40
driver,
3:41
various
3:41
vehicles
3:42
and
3:42
companies,
3:43
and
3:44
moved
3:45
gradually
3:46
at
3:46
the
3:46
age
3:46
of
3:47
60
3:47
into
3:48
toastmastering
3:49
to
3:49
bridge
3:49
that
3:50
gap
3:50
between,
3:50
between
3:51
work
3:52
and
3:52
retirement.
3:53
And
3:53
so
3:54
it's
3:54
been
3:54
a
3:54
lot
3:54
of
3:55
fun.
3:55
Wow,
3:55
that
3:56
is
3:56
a
3:56
varied
3:57
list
3:57
of
3:57
things.
3:58
I
3:58
didn't
3:58
even
3:58
know
3:58
you'd
3:58
been
3:58
a
3:59
trainee
3:59
chef.
3:59
What
4:00
happened
4:00
to
4:00
your
4:00
chefing
4:01
career?
4:01
Well,
4:02
with
4:02
the
4:02
current
4:03
weight
4:03
distribution,
4:04
Becca,
4:05
I'm
4:05
really
4:05
pleased
4:06
I
4:06
didn't
4:06
carry
4:07
on
4:07
with
4:07
it
4:07
because
4:07
I
4:07
might
4:08
have
4:08
been
4:08
twice
4:08
my
4:09
size,
4:09
but
4:10
no,
4:10
I
4:10
managed
4:11
to
4:11
win
4:11
a
4:11
place
4:12
at
4:12
a
4:12
prestigious
4:13
college
4:13
in
4:13
London
4:14
near
4:14
where
4:15
I
4:15
live
4:15
as
4:16
a
4:16
teenager
4:17
and
4:18
it
4:18
just
4:18
wasn't
4:18
for
4:19
me.
4:19
The
4:19
more
4:20
you
4:20
did
4:20
it,
4:20
the
4:21
trainers
4:22
were
4:22
fabulous,
4:23
but
4:24
the
4:25
pressure
4:25
hours,
4:26
etc
4:27
that
4:27
would
4:27
have
4:27
been
4:28
coming
4:28
along
4:28
behind
4:29
it
4:29
were
4:31
maybe
4:31
not
4:31
for
4:31
me.
4:32
I'm
4:32
a
4:32
social
4:32
butterfly.
4:35
Yes,
4:35
you
4:36
definitely
4:36
are
4:36
that.
4:37
Okay,
4:37
so
4:37
you
4:38
said
4:38
that
4:38
it
4:38
took
4:39
until
4:39
your
4:39
60s
4:40
to
4:40
decide
4:40
to
4:40
be
4:40
A
4:41
toastmaster.
4:41
So
4:41
talk
4:42
to
4:42
me
4:42
about
4:42
that
4:42
decision.
4:43
With
4:43
all
4:43
of
4:43
those
4:44
different,
4:44
varied
4:44
things,
4:45
being
4:45
a
4:45
chef,
4:45
working
4:46
in
4:46
the
4:46
bookies,
4:47
how
4:47
on
4:47
earth
4:48
did
4:48
you
4:48
think,
4:48
one
4:48
day
4:49
am
4:49
I
4:49
going
4:49
to
4:49
be
4:49
a
4:49
toastmaster?
4:50
Oh,
4:50
well,
4:51
that's
4:51
a
4:51
lovely
4:52
question
4:52
because
4:53
I
4:53
tell
4:53
everyone,
4:55
friends
4:56
and
4:56
family
4:57
who
4:57
can
4:57
be
4:57
bothered
4:57
to
4:58
listen.
4:59
It
4:59
was
4:59
my
5:00
sister
5:00
and
5:01
my
5:01
wife
5:01
who
5:02
actually
5:02
gave
5:02
me
5:03
the
5:03
little
5:03
push.
5:04
So
5:05
in
5:05
a
5:05
nutshell,
5:06
in
5:06
the
5:07
past
5:07
where
5:08
you've
5:08
had
5:09
family
5:09
trips
5:10
or
5:11
golf
5:11
trips
5:12
for
5:12
the
5:12
chaps
5:13
or
5:13
mixed
5:14
events,
5:15
I've
5:15
always
5:16
been
5:16
the
5:16
one
5:16
where
5:17
friends
5:17
would
5:17
say,
5:18
come
5:18
on
5:18
John,
5:19
be
5:19
no
5:19
different
5:19
to
5:19
you,
5:20
Come
5:20
on,
5:20
Becca,
5:21
you
5:21
can
5:21
chivy
5:22
them
5:22
along,
5:23
you
5:23
can
5:23
organize
5:24
that.
5:24
And
5:24
timings
5:25
this,
5:25
timings
5:26
that,
5:26
and
5:27
you
5:27
know,
5:27
it's
5:28
fun
5:28
and
5:28
games
5:28
at
5:29
3
5:29
o'clock,
5:29
dinner
5:29
at
5:30
7,
5:30
you
5:30
can
5:30
do
5:30
this,
5:31
you
5:31
can
5:31
do
5:31
this.
5:32
And
5:32
of
5:32
course
5:32
we
5:32
Never
5:33
related
5:33
the
5:34
two
5:34
and
5:35
you
5:35
know,
5:36
late
5:36
50s
5:37
somehow
5:38
we
5:38
were
5:38
looking
5:38
at,
5:39
saw
5:39
a
5:40
toastmaster
5:40
at
5:40
work
5:41
somewhere
5:42
and
5:42
my
5:42
wife
5:42
said,
5:43
you
5:43
could
5:43
do
5:43
that.
5:43
When
5:44
I
5:44
took.
5:44
My
5:44
sister
5:45
is
5:46
88
5:47
years
5:47
old,
5:48
she's
5:48
an
5:48
older
5:49
half
5:50
sister,
5:50
but
5:50
she's
5:50
my
5:51
sister.
5:51
To
5:51
me
5:52
she
5:52
said,
5:53
oh,
5:53
well,
5:53
you're
5:53
like
5:54
me,
5:54
you're
5:54
a
5:54
born
5:55
blooming
5:55
show
5:56
off,
5:56
so
5:56
you
5:57
could
5:57
do
5:57
that
5:57
job.
5:58
And
5:59
she
5:59
meant
6:00
that
6:00
in
6:00
a
6:00
nice
6:00
way.
6:01
And
6:01
the
6:01
pair
6:01
of
6:01
them,
6:02
oh,
6:02
let's
6:02
do
6:02
some
6:03
research
6:03
on
6:03
it.
6:04
And
6:04
then
6:04
of
6:04
course
6:04
you
6:05
dig
6:05
deeper.
6:06
As
6:06
you
6:06
know,
6:06
you
6:07
dig
6:07
deeper
6:07
in
6:07
any
6:08
business
6:08
there's
6:09
more
6:09
to
6:09
it
6:10
than
6:10
just
6:10
hiring
6:11
a
6:11
red
6:11
coat
6:11
and
6:12
showing
6:12
off.
6:13
So
6:13
there's
6:13
far
6:14
more
6:14
to
6:14
it.
6:14
And
6:14
that's
6:15
how
6:15
it
6:15
sort
6:15
of
6:16
came
6:16
about
6:17
in
6:17
my
6:17
late
6:18
50s,
6:18
which
6:19
is
6:19
probably
6:19
a
6:20
good
6:20
thing
6:20
on
6:21
balance,
6:21
you
6:21
know.
6:22
Yeah,
6:22
absolutely.
6:23
And
6:23
I
6:23
think
6:23
what's
6:23
interesting
6:23
about
6:24
being
6:24
a
6:24
toastmaster
6:25
is
6:25
actually
6:25
I
6:25
think
6:25
it's
6:26
one
6:26
of
6:26
the
6:26
hardest
6:26
parts
6:27
of
6:27
the
6:27
wedding
6:27
industry
6:28
to
6:28
train
6:28
for,
6:29
because
6:29
for
6:30
a
6:30
lot
6:30
of
6:30
us
6:31
we
6:31
become
6:31
a
6:31
wedding
6:32
planner
6:32
or
6:32
we
6:32
become
6:32
a
6:33
florist
6:33
or
6:33
a
6:33
cake
6:33
maker
6:34
on
6:34
experience.
6:34
Experience.
6:35
But
6:35
actually
6:36
to
6:36
become
6:36
a
6:36
toastmaster
6:37
you
6:37
have
6:37
to
6:37
go
6:38
through
6:38
some
6:38
proper
6:39
official
6:39
training,
6:39
don't
6:39
you?
6:40
Tell
6:40
us
6:40
about
6:40
that.
6:40
Yes,
6:41
you
6:41
certainly
6:42
do.
6:42
And
6:43
I
6:44
would
6:44
give
6:44
a
6:44
mention
6:45
to
6:45
the
6:46
Guild
6:46
of
6:46
Professional
6:47
Toastmasters
6:49
because
6:50
I
6:50
did
6:50
a
6:51
little
6:51
bit
6:51
of
6:51
research
6:51
and
6:52
there
6:52
are
6:52
a
6:52
number
6:53
of
6:53
associations
6:54
and
6:54
guilds
6:55
who
6:55
would
6:55
offer
6:56
training.
6:57
But
6:57
to
6:57
give
6:57
you
6:57
one
6:58
example,
6:59
I
6:59
could
7:00
launch
7:00
my
7:00
own
7:01
association
7:02
and
7:02
call
7:02
myself
7:03
the
7:03
JH
7:04
Guild
7:05
of
7:05
Toastmasters,
7:06
founded
7:07
in
7:07
1959.
7:08
And
7:09
it
7:09
turns
7:09
out
7:09
there's
7:10
some
7:10
one
7:10
man
7:10
bands
7:11
out
7:11
there
7:11
who
7:12
will
7:12
claim
7:12
this.
7:12
And
7:12
they,
7:13
of
7:13
course
7:13
they
7:13
were
7:13
born
7:14
in
7:14
1959.
7:15
That's
7:15
when
7:15
it
7:15
was
7:16
founded.
7:17
But
7:17
the
7:18
Guild,
7:18
the
7:18
Guild
7:18
of
7:19
Professional
7:19
Toastmasters
7:20
is
7:21
been
7:22
going
7:22
perhaps
7:23
50
7:23
years,
7:23
1968
7:24
I
7:24
think
7:25
and
7:26
you
7:27
do
7:27
a
7:27
five
7:28
day.
7:29
I
7:29
decided
7:29
to
7:30
do
7:30
residential
7:31
course
7:31
but
7:31
this
7:31
was
7:31
in
7:32
London
7:33
and
7:33
so
7:34
I
7:34
went
7:35
and
7:35
met
7:35
the
7:36
guys,
7:36
the
7:36
training
7:37
officers
7:37
and
7:38
so
7:38
it
7:38
pans
7:39
out,
7:39
you
7:39
know,
7:39
the
7:40
others
7:40
didn't
7:40
seem
7:41
quite
7:41
as
7:41
keen
7:41
on
7:42
getting
7:42
back
7:42
to
7:42
me
7:43
and
7:43
anyway
7:44
I
7:44
met
7:44
the
7:44
guys
7:45
twice
7:46
and
7:46
found
7:47
out
7:47
how
7:47
much
7:47
and
7:48
what
7:48
it
7:48
involved.
7:49
And
7:49
again
7:50
in
7:50
a
7:51
bullet
7:52
point
7:52
list
7:52
five
7:53
day
7:53
residential
7:54
course
7:54
in
7:55
London
7:55
on
7:56
the
7:56
fifth
7:56
lunch
7:57
time
7:57
the
7:58
new
7:58
boys,
7:58
it
7:58
was
7:59
five
7:59
of
7:59
us
7:59
on
8:00
the
8:00
course
8:01
for
8:02
four
8:02
and
8:02
a
8:02
half
8:02
days
8:03
and
8:03
on
8:03
the
8:04
fifth
8:04
lunchtime
8:06
we
8:06
toastmastered
8:07
a
8:07
lunch
8:08
with
8:08
the
8:09
experts
8:09
taking
8:10
lunch
8:10
and
8:11
watching
8:11
on.
8:11
Now
8:11
that's
8:12
very
8:12
nerve
8:12
wracking
8:13
whether
8:13
you're
8:14
16
8:14
or
8:15
60.
8:15
But
8:16
then
8:16
after
8:16
that
8:17
if
8:17
you
8:18
there
8:18
was
8:18
no
8:18
pass
8:19
or
8:19
fail,
8:19
they
8:20
trained
8:20
you
8:20
to
8:20
a
8:21
standard.
8:22
After
8:22
that
8:22
you
8:23
did
8:23
a
8:23
sixth
8:24
day
8:24
where
8:24
you
8:25
meet
8:25
up
8:25
and
8:26
try
8:27
sound
8:27
checks
8:27
and
8:27
microphone
8:28
work.
8:29
You
8:29
did
8:29
a
8:29
two
8:30
and
8:30
a
8:30
half
8:30
hour
8:31
exam
8:31
and
8:32
then
8:32
most
8:32
nerve
8:32
wracking
8:33
of
8:33
all,
8:34
when
8:34
you
8:34
are
8:34
out
8:35
in
8:35
the
8:35
field
8:35
getting
8:36
work,
8:36
you
8:37
then
8:37
said,
8:37
right,
8:38
I'm
8:38
confident
8:38
enough,
8:39
I'm
8:40
going
8:40
to
8:40
ask
8:41
a
8:41
fellow
8:42
along
8:42
to
8:43
watch
8:43
me
8:43
and
8:44
mark
8:44
me
8:45
at
8:46
two
8:46
different
8:47
functions.
8:47
Two
8:48
different
8:48
fellows,
8:48
two
8:49
different
8:49
functions.
8:50
If
8:50
you
8:50
get
8:50
the
8:50
boxes
8:51
ticked
8:51
at
8:52
both
8:52
of
8:52
those
8:52
functions
8:53
then
8:53
you
8:53
are
8:54
invited
8:54
to
8:55
receive
8:56
the
8:56
medallion
8:57
and
8:57
you
8:57
are
8:58
then
8:58
a
8:58
fellow
8:59
of
8:59
the
8:59
Guild
8:59
as
9:00
opposed
9:00
to
9:00
a
9:00
trainee.
9:01
So
9:01
you
9:01
can
9:01
still
9:01
go
9:02
out
9:02
and
9:02
do
9:02
the
9:02
job
9:03
but
9:04
you
9:04
are
9:04
then
9:04
recognized.
9:05
So
9:06
that's
9:06
what
9:06
that
9:06
sparkly
9:07
gong's
9:07
for.
9:08
In
9:08
some
9:08
of
9:08
my
9:09
photos,
9:09
you
9:10
know,
9:10
the
9:11
just
9:11
shows
9:12
you've
9:12
done
9:12
some
9:12
training,
9:13
you
9:13
can
9:13
confidently
9:14
tell
9:14
people
9:14
you're
9:15
trained.
9:16
It's
9:16
really
9:16
impressive
9:17
because
9:17
you
9:17
would
9:17
think
9:18
like
9:18
you
9:18
said
9:19
at
9:19
the
9:19
beginning
9:19
actually,
9:20
you
9:20
know,
9:20
we
9:21
get
9:21
asked
9:21
to
9:21
just
9:21
stand
9:22
up
9:22
and
9:22
tell
9:22
people
9:23
where
9:23
to
9:23
go
9:23
and
9:23
we
9:23
think
9:24
that's
9:24
a
9:24
natural
9:24
thing
9:24
and
9:24
it's
9:25
very
9:25
easy.
9:26
I
9:26
can't
9:26
imagine
9:27
what
9:27
you
9:27
can
9:27
possibly
9:28
do
9:28
in
9:29
five
9:29
days.
9:29
It
9:29
shows
9:30
that
9:30
there
9:30
really
9:30
is
9:30
a.
9:30
Lot
9:31
to
9:31
learn
9:33
certainly.
9:34
Oh,
9:34
it's
9:35
amazing
9:36
Becca.
9:36
You've
9:37
been
9:37
around
9:38
that
9:38
industry
9:38
a
9:39
long,
9:39
long
9:40
time
9:41
even
9:41
though
9:41
you're
9:42
only
9:42
in
9:42
your
9:43
20s.
9:44
I
9:44
wish
9:46
you've
9:46
been
9:46
around
9:46
a
9:47
long
9:47
time.
9:48
Every
9:49
different
9:49
culture
9:50
of
9:50
wedding
9:51
Masonic,
9:52
Ladies
9:53
nights,
9:54
charity
9:55
dues,
9:56
prize
9:57
givings,
9:58
awards
9:58
ceremonies,
9:59
Rotary
10:00
Round
10:00
Table,
10:01
each
10:01
of
10:01
them
10:01
have
10:02
their
10:02
own
10:02
niche
10:03
events.
10:04
I
10:04
do
10:04
a
10:04
hell
10:04
of
10:04
a
10:05
lot
10:05
of
10:05
weddings.
10:05
It
10:05
seems
10:06
to
10:06
have,
10:07
seems
10:08
to
10:08
have
10:08
niche
10:09
towards
10:09
me,
10:10
weddings
10:11
which
10:11
I
10:11
love.
10:12
But
10:12
Saturday
10:13
two
10:14
days
10:14
ago
10:14
I
10:14
did
10:15
a
10:15
charity
10:16
ball
10:18
for
10:18
a
10:18
local
10:19
charity
10:19
to
10:20
me
10:20
and
10:21
my
10:21
wife
10:21
and
10:21
eight
10:22
friends
10:22
were
10:23
paid
10:23
guests
10:24
at
10:24
the
10:24
ball
10:25
and
10:25
I
10:25
did
10:25
the
10:26
auction
10:26
and
10:27
etc
10:29
as
10:29
well
10:29
as
10:29
ushering
10:30
guests
10:30
around
10:31
for
10:31
the
10:31
evening.
10:31
So
10:32
there's
10:32
tons
10:33
to
10:33
it
10:34
and
10:35
you
10:35
know,
10:36
preambles.
10:37
Well,
10:37
we
10:37
haven't
10:38
got
10:38
enough
10:38
time
10:38
but
10:39
preambles,
10:40
there's
10:40
a
10:40
pecking
10:41
order
10:41
as
10:41
there
10:42
always
10:42
is,
10:42
you
10:43
know,
10:43
when,
10:44
if
10:44
I
10:44
was
10:45
announcing
10:45
the
10:45
first
10:46
speech,
10:47
I
10:48
better
10:48
hope
10:48
I
10:48
get
10:49
this
10:49
right
10:49
in
10:50
case.
10:51
But
10:51
anyway,
10:52
if
10:52
there
10:52
was,
10:53
if
10:53
the
10:54
vicar
10:55
who'd
10:57
conducted
10:58
the
10:58
service
10:58
was
10:59
invited
10:59
to
11:00
the
11:00
reception,
11:01
whilst
11:01
introducing
11:02
the
11:02
first
11:03
speech,
11:03
I
11:04
would
11:04
say,
11:04
Reverend
11:05
sir,
11:06
parents
11:06
of
11:06
the
11:06
bride
11:07
and
11:07
bridegroom,
11:07
distinguished
11:08
guests,
11:09
ladies
11:09
and
11:09
gentlemen,
11:10
boys
11:10
and
11:10
girls,
11:11
pray
11:11
silence
11:12
for
11:12
the
11:12
proudest
11:13
man
11:13
in
11:13
the
11:14
room
11:14
today.
11:15
Father
11:16
of
11:16
the
11:16
bride,
11:16
Mr.
11:17
Joe
11:17
blogs.
11:18
You
11:18
know,
11:18
so
11:19
if
11:19
there
11:19
were
11:20
lords
11:21
of
11:21
the
11:21
realm
11:21
or
11:22
you
11:22
know,
11:22
very
11:23
important
11:23
VIPs,
11:24
if
11:25
they
11:25
wanted
11:25
the
11:26
recognition
11:26
in
11:26
the
11:26
preamble,
11:27
some
11:27
of
11:27
them
11:28
would
11:28
say,
11:28
oh
11:28
no,
11:29
I'm
11:29
Uncle
11:29
Brian
11:30
today.
11:31
You
11:31
know,
11:32
because
11:34
they're
11:34
just
11:34
a
11:34
guest
11:35
at
11:35
their
11:35
niece's
11:36
wedding.
11:36
But
11:36
if
11:36
they
11:37
wanted
11:37
the
11:38
full
11:38
preamble,
11:39
you
11:39
would,
11:39
you
11:40
know,
11:40
you'd
11:40
have
11:40
to
11:40
introduce
11:41
Knights
11:41
of
11:41
the
11:42
Realm
11:42
or
11:42
Dignity
11:43
or,
11:44
you
11:44
know,
11:45
so
11:45
there's
11:46
a
11:46
hell
11:46
of
11:46
a
11:46
lot
11:47
to
11:47
it,
11:47
you
11:47
know.
11:48
So
11:48
we
11:48
should
11:48
have
11:49
more
11:49
respect
11:49
for
11:49
Toastmasters
11:50
when
11:50
we
11:50
come
11:50
across
11:51
them
11:51
because
11:51
actually
11:51
they've
11:52
put
11:52
in
11:52
a
11:52
huge
11:52
amount
11:53
of
11:53
work
11:53
and
11:53
a
11:54
huge
11:54
amount
11:54
of
11:54
training
11:55
to
11:55
get
11:55
to
11:55
where
11:55
they
11:55
are.
11:56
And
11:56
also
11:56
we
11:56
should
11:57
be
11:57
looking
11:57
out
11:57
for
11:57
that
11:57
medallion
11:58
because
11:58
if
11:58
we
11:58
want
11:59
to
11:59
know
11:59
that
11:59
someone
11:59
has
11:59
done
12:00
the
12:00
training
12:01
and
12:01
some
12:02
that
12:02
separates
12:03
people
12:03
apart.
12:03
Right,
12:04
that's
12:05
spot
12:05
on.
12:06
And
12:06
I
12:07
make
12:08
a
12:08
slight
12:10
joke
12:10
about
12:11
it,
12:11
no
12:11
surprises
12:12
there.
12:12
But
12:12
if
12:13
I'm
12:13
a
12:13
wedding,
12:14
open
12:14
day
12:14
or
12:14
a
12:15
fair,
12:15
I
12:16
generally
12:16
will
12:17
wear
12:17
a
12:17
lounge
12:18
suit
12:18
or
12:19
a
12:19
combination,
12:20
not
12:20
the
12:20
reds.
12:21
And
12:21
I
12:21
have
12:21
the
12:21
big
12:22
pull
12:22
up
12:22
banner
12:23
because
12:24
the
12:24
reds
12:24
can
12:25
be
12:25
intimidating
12:26
for
12:26
some,
12:27
you
12:27
know,
12:28
so
12:28
it's
12:28
very
12:28
much
12:29
a
12:29
50,
12:29
50
12:29
spin.
12:30
My
12:30
point
12:31
being
12:31
I
12:31
have
12:31
the
12:32
medallion
12:32
on
12:32
the
12:32
table
12:33
and
12:33
I
12:33
tell
12:33
people
12:34
that
12:34
it's
12:34
for
12:34
running
12:35
the
12:35
London
12:35
Marathon
12:36
and
12:36
they
12:36
look
12:37
at
12:37
me
12:37
with
12:38
again
12:38
with
12:38
the
12:39
current
12:39
weight
12:39
distribution
12:40
and
12:40
they
12:40
think
12:41
I
12:41
said,
12:41
don't
12:42
worry,
12:42
it's
12:42
not.
12:42
I'm
12:42
only
12:42
joking.
12:43
This
12:43
shows
12:44
I've
12:44
done
12:44
the
12:44
training.
12:45
And
12:45
you
12:45
know
12:45
when
12:46
they
12:46
say,
12:46
when
12:46
you
12:47
quote
12:47
a
12:47
price
12:48
and
12:48
then
12:48
they
12:48
say,
12:48
oh
12:49
well,
12:49
I've
12:50
spoken
12:50
to
12:50
George
12:51
down
12:51
the
12:51
road
12:52
and
12:52
he
12:52
can
12:52
do
12:53
it
12:53
for
12:53
200,
12:55
you
12:55
say
12:55
that's
12:56
absolutely
12:56
fine.
12:57
You
12:57
know,
12:57
just
12:57
make
12:58
sure
12:58
that
12:58
George
12:59
has
12:59
some
12:59
recognized
13:00
training
13:01
and
13:01
qualifications.
13:02
Yeah,
13:03
absolutely.
13:04
It
13:04
sets
13:04
you
13:04
apart
13:05
and
13:05
I
13:05
love
13:05
that
13:06
joke,
13:06
that's
13:06
always
13:06
a
13:06
good
13:07
way
13:07
to
13:07
build
13:07
rapport
13:08
with
13:08
people
13:08
at
13:08
a
13:08
wedding.
13:09
Yes,
13:09
yes.
13:10
Get
13:10
them
13:11
laughing,
13:11
get
13:11
them
13:12
changing
13:12
their
13:12
mind.
13:13
Now,
13:13
I
13:13
want
13:13
to
13:13
talk
13:14
to
13:14
you
13:14
a
13:14
little
13:14
bit
13:14
about
13:15
confidence
13:15
because
13:16
I
13:16
think
13:16
actually
13:17
you
13:17
make
13:17
it
13:17
sound
13:17
easy,
13:18
but
13:18
to
13:19
change
13:19
career
13:20
or
13:20
to
13:20
add
13:20
this
13:20
new
13:21
part
13:21
to
13:21
your
13:22
career
13:22
in
13:23
your
13:23
late
13:23
50s,
13:23
early
13:24
60s,
13:24
a
13:25
lot
13:25
of
13:25
people
13:25
would
13:25
think,
13:26
oh,
13:26
that's
13:26
not
13:26
possible
13:27
for
13:27
me.
13:28
It's
13:28
too
13:28
late
13:28
for
13:28
me
13:28
to
13:29
learn
13:29
something
13:29
new.
13:30
Like,
13:30
how
13:30
did
13:31
you
13:31
have
13:31
the
13:31
confidence
13:32
to
13:32
do
13:32
that?
13:32
And
13:32
how
13:32
would
13:32
you
13:33
encourage
13:33
someone
13:33
else
13:33
who's
13:34
maybe
13:34
thinking
13:34
about
13:35
changing
13:35
what
13:35
they
13:35
do?
13:36
Oh,
13:36
that's
13:37
good.
13:37
Well,
13:38
number
13:38
one,
13:38
it's
13:39
never
13:39
worried
13:40
me.
13:40
I've
13:40
always
13:41
gravitated
13:42
towards
13:43
people.
13:44
So,
13:45
you
13:45
know,
13:46
it's
13:47
not
13:47
me,
13:47
it's
13:48
friends,
13:48
family
13:49
who
13:49
say,
13:50
this
13:50
job
13:50
lends
13:51
itself
13:51
to
13:52
you.
13:52
So
13:52
that's
13:53
the
13:53
easy
13:53
bit
13:54
for
13:54
me.
13:55
But
13:55
I
13:55
do
13:56
fully
13:56
appreciate
13:57
not
13:57
everyone
13:58
has
13:58
the
13:58
same
13:59
clubs
14:00
in
14:00
their
14:00
bag.
14:01
And
14:02
so
14:04
all
14:04
it
14:05
is
14:05
is
14:06
practice,
14:06
practice,
14:07
practice,
14:08
preparation,
14:09
preparation,
14:09
preparation.
14:10
You
14:10
can't
14:11
teach
14:11
somebody
14:11
to
14:12
be
14:12
confident
14:12
in
14:12
front
14:13
of
14:13
people.
14:13
But
14:14
if
14:14
you
14:14
do
14:14
a
14:15
wedding
14:15
and
14:17
you
14:17
talk
14:18
to
14:18
everybody,
14:19
the
14:20
parents
14:21
and
14:21
the
14:21
bridesmaids
14:22
and
14:22
the
14:22
this
14:23
and
14:23
the
14:23
venue
14:23
and
14:24
this
14:24
and
14:24
that,
14:24
and
14:25
it
14:25
goes
14:25
well,
14:26
you
14:26
know,
14:26
and
14:26
then
14:27
it
14:27
gets
14:27
mentioned
14:28
to
14:28
you,
14:29
then
14:29
it
14:30
can
14:30
only
14:31
boost
14:31
you
14:31
up.
14:32
You
14:32
know,
14:32
I
14:33
couldn't,
14:33
I
14:33
wouldn't
14:34
be
14:34
able
14:34
to
14:35
tell
14:35
an
14:36
individual
14:36
until
14:37
I
14:37
spoke
14:37
to
14:37
them
14:38
about,
14:39
you
14:39
know,
14:39
you
14:39
can't
14:39
teach
14:40
confidence,
14:41
can
14:41
you?
14:42
Yeah,
14:43
so
14:44
you
14:44
can,
14:44
you
14:44
can
14:45
give
14:45
them
14:45
a
14:45
good
14:46
help
14:46
or
14:46
a
14:46
helping
14:47
hand.
14:49
But,
14:50
yeah,
14:50
for
14:50
me,
14:51
it's
14:51
never
14:52
been
14:52
an
14:52
issue
14:53
going,
14:54
going
14:54
back
14:54
to
14:54
the
14:54
show
14:55
off
14:55
thing.
14:57
And
14:57
a
14:57
very
14:58
valid
14:58
point
14:59
is
14:59
in
15:00
the
15:00
training,
15:00
again,
15:00
you're
15:01
not
15:01
the
15:01
cabaret,
15:03
but
15:03
you
15:03
can
15:04
read
15:04
the
15:04
room.
15:04
So
15:05
I'm
15:05
definitely
15:05
not
15:05
the
15:06
cabaret.
15:07
But
15:07
of
15:07
course,
15:07
people
15:08
love
15:08
a
15:09
great
15:09
atmosphere
15:10
and
15:11
a
15:11
little
15:11
bit
15:11
of
15:12
humor
15:12
and
15:12
friendliness
15:13
in
15:13
the
15:14
right
15:14
places.
15:15
So,
15:15
again,
15:16
I
15:16
could
15:17
talk
15:17
to
15:17
anyone
15:18
who
15:18
was
15:19
considering.
15:20
I
15:20
could
15:20
talk
15:20
to
15:21
them
15:21
and
15:21
see
15:22
where
15:22
they
15:22
are
15:22
in
15:22
their
15:23
journey,
15:23
you
15:24
know.
15:24
Yeah.
15:25
And
15:25
I
15:25
think
15:25
sometimes
15:25
it
15:26
is
15:26
so
15:26
much
15:26
about
15:27
just
15:27
a
15:27
little
15:27
word
15:27
of
15:28
encouragement.
15:28
You
15:28
say
15:29
so
15:30
lovely
15:30
in
15:30
your
15:30
story
15:31
about
15:31
your
15:31
family
15:32
encouraging
15:33
you
15:33
and
15:33
telling
15:33
you
15:33
you're
15:34
good
15:34
at
15:34
that.
15:34
You
15:34
know,
15:34
it's
15:35
so
15:35
important
15:35
for
15:35
us
15:35
to
15:35
surround
15:36
ourselves
15:36
with
15:36
people
15:37
who
15:37
lift
15:38
us
15:38
up
15:38
rather
15:38
than
15:39
tear
15:39
us
15:39
down.
15:39
And
15:40
actually
15:40
we
15:40
can
15:40
be
15:41
an
15:41
encouragement
15:41
to
15:41
someone
15:42
else
15:42
and
15:42
say,
15:43
you're
15:43
actually
15:43
really
15:43
good
15:43
at
15:43
this.
15:44
You
15:44
actually
15:44
could
15:45
do
15:45
this
15:45
for
15:45
a
15:45
job.
15:46
And
15:46
I
15:46
think
15:47
that
15:47
you've
15:47
been
15:47
blessed
15:47
to
15:48
have
15:48
those
15:48
people
15:48
around
15:49
you
15:49
which
15:49
has
15:50
helped
15:50
you
15:50
to
15:50
have
15:51
that
15:51
confidence
15:51
along
15:52
the
15:52
way
15:52
as
15:52
well.
15:53
Now,
15:53
let's
15:53
talk
15:53
about
15:54
your
15:54
first
15:55
weddings,
15:55
then,
15:56
because
15:56
you
15:56
do
15:56
the
15:57
training,
15:57
you
15:57
do
15:57
your
15:57
five
15:58
days
15:58
and
15:59
then
15:59
you've
15:59
got
15:59
a
16:00
business.
16:00
Now
16:00
you
16:01
need
16:01
to
16:01
start
16:01
a
16:01
business,
16:01
you
16:02
need
16:02
to
16:02
get
16:02
some
16:02
clients.
16:03
Do
16:03
you
16:03
remember
16:04
where
16:04
you
16:04
got
16:04
your
16:04
first
16:05
wedding
16:05
businesses
16:06
clients
16:07
from?
16:07
Oh,
16:08
yes.
16:08
How
16:08
brilliant.
16:09
So,
16:11
right,
16:12
so
16:12
number
16:13
one,
16:14
I
16:14
had
16:14
a
16:15
big
16:16
kick
16:17
start
16:18
on
16:19
a
16:19
plate,
16:19
really.
16:20
But
16:21
because
16:21
of
16:21
knowing
16:22
people
16:22
in
16:22
a
16:23
former
16:23
life,
16:23
okay,
16:24
I
16:24
used
16:25
to
16:25
sell
16:25
golf
16:25
equipment
16:26
and
16:26
I
16:27
used
16:27
to
16:27
sell
16:27
it
16:28
30,
16:28
40
16:29
years
16:29
ago
16:29
to
16:30
young
16:31
men
16:31
in
16:31
golf
16:32
shops
16:32
who
16:33
were
16:33
then
16:33
18
16:34
or
16:34
20
16:34
years
16:35
old
16:35
and
16:35
they
16:35
were
16:36
assistant
16:36
professionals
16:37
and
16:38
they
16:38
were
16:38
earning
16:39
nothing.
16:39
Well,
16:40
those
16:40
guys
16:41
are
16:41
now
16:42
the
16:42
owners
16:43
and
16:44
chief
16:44
execs
16:45
at
16:45
golf
16:46
course
16:46
hotels.
16:47
I
16:47
have.
16:48
This
16:48
is
16:48
not,
16:48
bully
16:49
for
16:49
me,
16:50
this.
16:50
I
16:50
have
16:50
four
16:51
venues
16:51
that
16:52
include
16:52
me
16:53
in
16:53
packages
16:54
and
16:55
two
16:55
of
16:55
those
16:56
are
16:56
guys
16:57
I've
16:57
known
16:58
since
16:58
they
16:59
were
16:59
18,
16:59
they're
17:00
now
17:00
50.
17:02
And
17:02
oh,
17:03
yeah,
17:03
you,
17:04
we're
17:04
going
17:04
to
17:04
have
17:04
you
17:04
as
17:05
our
17:05
toastmaster.
17:05
I
17:06
said,
17:06
well,
17:06
I
17:06
haven't
17:06
done
17:06
the
17:07
course
17:07
yet
17:07
and
17:08
you
17:08
don't
17:08
know
17:08
if
17:08
I'll
17:08
be.
17:09
Yeah,
17:09
we
17:09
do.
17:10
We
17:10
know
17:10
you
17:10
from
17:11
old,
17:11
so
17:11
that
17:12
helps
17:12
a
17:12
hell
17:12
of
17:13
a
17:13
lot.
17:14
So,
17:14
yeah,
17:15
Cave
17:15
Hotel.
17:17
Cave
17:17
Hotel
17:18
near
17:18
Canterbury.
17:19
First
17:19
one
17:20
had
17:20
confidence
17:21
in
17:21
me,
17:21
no
17:22
questions
17:22
asked.
17:23
And
17:24
the
17:24
chief
17:24
exec's
17:25
daughter
17:25
is
17:26
now
17:26
the
17:26
main
17:26
coordinator.
17:27
How's
17:28
that?
17:28
Wow.
17:29
And
17:29
I've
17:30
been
17:30
to
17:30
the
17:30
Cave
17:30
Hotel.
17:30
I
17:31
came
17:31
down
17:31
there
17:31
recently.
17:32
I
17:32
went
17:32
and
17:32
spoke
17:32
at
17:33
Kent
17:33
Wedfest,
17:34
and
17:34
it's
17:34
a
17:34
beautiful
17:35
venue.
17:35
What
17:35
a
17:36
great
17:36
place
17:36
to
17:36
have
17:36
as
17:37
your
17:37
first
17:37
recommendation.
17:39
But
17:39
again,
17:40
don't
17:40
underestimate
17:41
that
17:41
because
17:41
you've
17:42
put
17:42
in
17:42
the
17:42
work
17:42
over
17:43
years
17:43
of
17:44
being
17:44
the
17:44
guy
17:44
that
17:45
talks
17:45
to
17:45
everyone
17:45
by
17:46
being
17:46
the
17:46
person
17:47
who's
17:47
built
17:47
relationships
17:48
and
17:48
that
17:48
people
17:48
remember.
17:49
You
17:49
know,
17:50
I
17:50
talk
17:50
about
17:50
it
17:50
all
17:50
the
17:50
time.
17:51
People
17:51
buy
17:51
from
17:52
people,
17:52
build
17:53
connections.
17:53
It's
17:53
all
17:54
about
17:54
knowing
17:54
the
17:54
right
17:54
people,
17:55
putting
17:55
yourself
17:55
in
17:55
the
17:55
right
17:56
room,
17:56
being
17:56
a
17:56
good
17:57
person.
17:57
And
17:57
you've
17:58
done
17:58
that
17:58
naturally
17:58
over
17:59
time,
17:59
and
17:59
that's
18:00
now
18:00
paid
18:00
off
18:01
in
18:01
your
18:01
business
18:01
because
18:02
now
18:02
those
18:02
people
18:02
are
18:03
in
18:03
the
18:03
right
18:03
places
18:03
to
18:03
give
18:04
you
18:04
an
18:04
opportunity.
18:05
So
18:05
that's
18:06
what
18:06
first
18:06
made
18:07
me
18:07
notice
18:08
you,
18:08
is
18:09
that
18:09
people,
18:10
some
18:10
people,
18:11
early
18:11
afternoon,
18:12
were
18:12
half
18:12
falling
18:13
asleep
18:13
at
18:13
Birmingham.
18:14
You
18:14
came
18:15
on
18:15
and
18:16
I
18:16
thought,
18:16
who's
18:16
this?
18:17
And
18:17
you
18:17
rejuvenated
18:19
that
18:19
room.
18:20
Some
18:21
of
18:21
them
18:21
probably
18:21
thought
18:22
they
18:22
knew
18:22
it
18:22
all
18:22
anyway,
18:23
but
18:23
you
18:23
rejuvenated
18:25
that
18:25
room
18:26
because
18:26
it
18:26
doesn't
18:26
matter
18:27
what's
18:27
gone
18:27
before
18:27
and
18:28
what's
18:28
following
18:28
you.
18:29
You
18:29
were
18:30
there
18:30
doing
18:30
your
18:31
thing.
18:32
And
18:32
that's
18:32
exactly
18:33
right.
18:33
The
18:34
lad
18:34
who
18:34
is
18:35
Chief
18:35
exec
18:36
at
18:37
Cave.
18:38
I
18:38
won't
18:39
mention
18:39
his
18:39
name,
18:39
mind
18:40
you,
18:40
that's
18:40
probably
18:40
fairly
18:41
obvious.
18:41
But
18:42
at
18:42
18,
18:43
he
18:44
moved
18:44
to
18:44
a
18:44
strange
18:46
area
18:47
and
18:47
he
18:47
was
18:48
earning
18:48
possibly
18:49
25,
18:49
30
18:50
pounds
18:50
a
18:50
week.
18:50
He
18:50
used
18:51
to
18:51
scrounge
18:51
cigarette
18:52
and
18:52
grips
18:53
for
18:53
his
18:53
golf
18:53
clubs
18:54
off
18:54
the
18:54
old
18:54
salesman.
18:55
But
18:56
he'd
18:56
realized
18:57
he
18:57
was
18:57
keen
18:57
and
18:58
he
18:58
just
18:58
needed
18:58
a
18:59
bit
18:59
of
18:59
help
19:00
and
19:00
that
19:01
was
19:01
it,
19:01
you
19:01
know.
19:02
Yeah,
19:02
yeah,
19:03
absolutely.
19:03
And
19:03
it
19:04
is
19:04
so
19:04
much
19:04
is
19:05
about
19:05
who
19:05
you
19:05
know,
19:06
not
19:06
what
19:06
you
19:06
know.
19:07
And
19:07
we've
19:07
had
19:07
another
19:07
thing
19:08
where
19:08
me
19:08
and
19:08
you've
19:08
worked
19:09
together
19:09
before,
19:09
where
19:09
I
19:09
was
19:10
speaking
19:10
to
19:10
someone
19:11
at
19:11
another
19:11
event
19:12
that
19:12
I
19:12
was
19:12
speaking
19:12
at
19:13
and
19:13
they
19:13
said
19:13
to
19:13
me,
19:13
becca,
19:14
do
19:14
you
19:14
know
19:14
a
19:14
toastmaster?
19:15
We're
19:15
desperately
19:16
looking
19:16
for
19:16
a
19:16
new
19:16
toastmaster.
19:18
And
19:18
we'd
19:18
been
19:18
talking
19:18
and
19:19
you'd
19:19
been
19:20
in
19:20
my
19:20
members
19:20
lounge
19:20
and
19:21
your
19:21
name
19:21
popped
19:21
up
19:22
and
19:22
that's
19:22
led
19:22
to
19:23
some
19:23
great
19:23
work
19:23
as
19:23
well.
19:24
All
19:24
about
19:24
that
19:25
relationship
19:25
that
19:25
me
19:25
and
19:25
you
19:26
had
19:26
has
19:26
now
19:26
led
19:26
to
19:26
that
19:27
work
19:27
too.
19:27
Hey,
19:28
that's
19:28
so
19:28
true.
19:29
And
19:29
yeah,
19:29
big
19:30
up.
19:30
Warbrook
19:31
House
19:31
Hotel
19:32
and
19:32
Georgina,
19:33
absolutely
19:34
fabulous.
19:35
And
19:35
it's
19:35
an
19:35
ongoing
19:36
thing
19:36
where
19:37
myself
19:38
and
19:38
if
19:38
I'm
19:39
not
19:39
available,
19:39
colleagues
19:40
that
19:40
I
19:40
put
19:40
into
19:41
bat
19:41
have
19:41
done
19:42
the
19:42
weddings
19:43
2024,
19:44
so
19:44
much
19:44
so
19:44
that
19:45
they're
19:45
more
19:45
than
19:45
happy
19:45
we've
19:46
got
19:46
the
19:46
2025
19:47
gig
19:47
and
19:48
they're
19:48
putting
19:48
Toastmaster
19:49
back
19:50
in
19:50
a
19:50
package.
19:50
I
19:51
leave
19:52
because
19:52
having
19:52
been
19:52
let
19:53
down
19:53
previously,
19:54
they
19:54
now
19:54
think
19:55
that
19:55
the
19:55
guild
19:55
of
19:55
professional
19:56
Toastmasters,
19:56
oh,
19:57
these
19:57
guys
19:58
are
19:58
reliable
19:59
and
19:59
steady.
19:59
So
20:00
excellent.
20:00
That
20:01
is
20:01
excellent
20:01
news
20:01
and
20:02
I'm
20:02
thrilled
20:02
for
20:02
you
20:03
and
20:03
I
20:03
know
20:03
that
20:04
the
20:04
team
20:04
there
20:04
are
20:04
really
20:05
thrilled
20:05
about
20:05
all
20:05
you've
20:05
done
20:05
for
20:06
them
20:06
as
20:06
well.
20:06
Now,
20:07
as
20:07
I
20:07
mentioned
20:07
in
20:08
my
20:08
introduction,
20:08
when
20:09
we
20:09
first
20:09
met,
20:09
you
20:09
kind
20:10
of
20:10
described
20:10
yourself
20:11
to
20:11
me
20:11
as
20:11
not
20:12
the
20:12
stereotypical
20:13
toastmaster
20:14
and
20:14
I
20:14
definitely
20:15
agree
20:15
with
20:15
you.
20:16
But
20:16
just
20:16
explain
20:17
to
20:17
people
20:17
listening,
20:18
what
20:18
do
20:18
you
20:18
mean
20:18
by
20:19
that
20:19
and
20:19
what
20:19
do
20:20
you
20:20
mean
20:20
when
20:20
you
20:20
say
20:20
that.
20:21
Okay,
20:22
I
20:23
need
20:23
to
20:24
be
20:24
careful
20:25
here,
20:25
not
20:25
to
20:26
offend
20:26
some
20:27
colleagues,
20:29
but
20:30
in
20:30
the
20:30
70s
20:31
and
20:31
80s,
20:31
perhaps
20:32
Toastmasters
20:33
had
20:33
a
20:33
bad
20:33
press.
20:34
They
20:34
were
20:35
ex
20:35
military
20:36
or
20:36
ex
20:36
police,
20:37
nothing
20:37
wrong
20:38
with
20:38
that.
20:38
But
20:38
more
20:39
to
20:39
the
20:39
point,
20:39
they
20:40
would
20:40
be
20:40
ordering
20:41
guests
20:41
around
20:42
and
20:42
ordering
20:43
the
20:43
guests
20:44
that
20:44
they
20:44
will
20:44
be
20:45
dining
20:46
at
20:46
7:00
20:47
or
20:47
5:00
20:48
and
20:49
barking
20:50
orders
20:50
and
20:51
all
20:51
a
20:51
bit
20:52
harsh.
20:52
And
20:53
a
20:53
regular,
20:54
regular
20:54
comment
20:55
I
20:55
get
20:55
is,
20:55
oh,
20:56
you
20:56
were,
20:56
you
20:56
were
20:57
talking
20:57
to
20:57
us,
20:57
you
20:58
weren't
20:58
shouting
20:59
to
20:59
us.
20:59
So
20:59
even
20:59
though
21:00
you
21:00
have
21:00
to
21:00
project
21:00
your
21:01
voice,
21:01
and
21:02
I'm
21:02
thinking,
21:03
and
21:04
so
21:04
that
21:04
time
21:05
after
21:05
time
21:05
after
21:05
time,
21:06
I
21:06
get
21:07
guests
21:07
of
21:07
all
21:07
ages
21:08
saying,
21:08
oh,
21:09
how
21:09
fantastic.
21:10
You
21:10
know,
21:10
you
21:10
let
21:11
us
21:11
know
21:11
we
21:11
hardly
21:12
saw
21:12
you,
21:12
but
21:12
you
21:13
popped
21:13
up
21:13
and
21:13
you
21:13
let
21:14
us
21:14
know
21:15
where
21:15
we
21:15
go
21:15
and
21:16
what
21:16
we're
21:16
doing.
21:16
And
21:16
I
21:17
haven't
21:17
missed
21:17
the
21:17
speeches
21:18
or
21:18
I
21:18
haven't
21:18
missed
21:19
this,
21:19
you
21:19
know,
21:19
and
21:20
so
21:21
little
21:21
things
21:21
like
21:22
that.
21:23
But
21:24
I'm
21:24
not
21:24
stereotypical
21:25
in
21:26
as
21:26
much
21:26
as
21:27
I
21:27
just.
21:29
I
21:29
just
21:30
love
21:30
people
21:30
and
21:31
make
21:32
sure
21:32
they
21:32
have
21:33
the
21:33
day
21:33
that
21:33
they're
21:34
dreaming
21:34
of
21:34
having
21:35
been
21:35
a
21:36
quivering
21:36
wreck
21:37
two
21:38
hours
21:38
before.
21:39
When
21:39
she's
21:39
walking
21:40
down
21:40
the
21:40
aisle
21:41
at
21:41
3:00,
21:42
she's
21:43
looking
21:43
at
21:43
me
21:43
and
21:44
saying,
21:44
oh,
21:44
thanks,
21:45
John.
21:45
And,
21:46
oh,
21:46
are
21:46
we
21:46
gonna
21:47
do
21:47
this?
21:47
I
21:47
said,
21:47
don't
21:48
worry,
21:48
you
21:48
got
21:48
15
21:49
minutes.
21:50
And
21:50
then
21:50
we're
21:50
going
21:51
through
21:51
for
21:51
that.
21:51
We're
21:51
bang
21:52
on
21:52
time.
21:52
And
21:52
you
21:53
just
21:53
go
21:53
and
21:53
mingle
21:53
and
21:54
enjoy
21:54
yourself.
21:55
It's
21:55
not
21:55
difficult
21:56
in
21:56
a
21:56
people
21:57
skills
21:58
way,
21:58
but
21:59
on
21:59
their
21:59
day,
22:00
it's
22:00
everything
22:01
and
22:01
more.
22:02
Yeah,
22:02
and
22:02
that's
22:02
something
22:02
that
22:03
comes
22:03
naturally
22:03
to
22:04
you.
22:04
You
22:04
are
22:04
personable.
22:05
You
22:05
are
22:05
good
22:05
at
22:06
making
22:06
people
22:06
feel
22:06
relaxed.
22:07
You're
22:07
good
22:07
at
22:07
making
22:08
people
22:08
laugh
22:09
or
22:09
smile
22:10
or,
22:10
you
22:10
know,
22:10
you
22:11
make
22:11
jokes
22:11
at
22:12
your
22:12
own,
22:12
you
22:12
know,
22:13
the
22:13
expense
22:13
of
22:13
yourself
22:14
sometimes.
22:14
But
22:15
it
22:15
makes
22:15
us
22:15
feel
22:16
more
22:16
relaxed.
22:16
And
22:16
I
22:17
think
22:17
that
22:17
is
22:17
a
22:18
good
22:18
thing
22:18
because,
22:19
you
22:19
know,
22:19
you
22:19
say
22:19
you
22:19
don't
22:19
want
22:20
to
22:20
offend
22:20
your
22:20
colleagues,
22:20
but
22:21
I
22:21
say
22:21
all
22:21
of
22:21
the
22:21
time,
22:22
there's
22:22
someone
22:22
out
22:22
there
22:23
for
22:23
everyone.
22:23
Right.
22:23
So
22:23
it's
22:24
not
22:24
a
22:24
right
22:24
and
22:24
a
22:24
wrong.
22:25
Some
22:25
people
22:26
want
22:26
the
22:27
really
22:27
formal
22:28
and
22:28
some
22:28
people
22:28
want
22:29
the
22:29
really
22:29
personable.
22:30
And
22:30
you've
22:31
just
22:31
really
22:31
opened
22:32
up,
22:32
I
22:32
think,
22:33
the
22:33
niche
22:33
of
22:33
Toastmasters
22:34
to
22:34
say,
22:34
you
22:34
know,
22:35
you
22:35
can
22:35
have
22:35
the
22:35
Toastmaster
22:36
in
22:36
all
22:36
of
22:36
the
22:37
gear,
22:37
but
22:38
that
22:38
doesn't
22:38
mean
22:38
that
22:38
you've
22:38
got
22:39
to
22:39
have
22:39
the
22:39
boring
22:39
guy.
22:40
Like,
22:40
we
22:40
can
22:40
still
22:40
make
22:41
it
22:41
fun,
22:41
we
22:41
can
22:41
still
22:42
make
22:42
it
22:42
personable,
22:42
we
22:43
can
22:43
still
22:43
inject
22:44
that
22:44
personality
22:44
into
22:45
it.
22:45
Very.
22:45
So
22:46
that's.
22:46
Yeah,
22:47
that's
22:47
brilliant.
22:47
And
22:48
as
22:48
you
22:48
rightly
22:49
say,
22:49
nothing
22:50
wrong
22:50
with
22:50
formality
22:51
at
22:51
all.
22:52
A
22:52
lot
22:52
of
22:52
venues
22:53
insist
22:53
on
22:53
it.
22:54
You
22:54
know,
22:55
they
22:55
insist
22:55
on
22:56
it.
22:56
And
22:56
rightly
22:57
so.
22:57
You
22:57
know,
22:57
a
22:58
lot
22:58
of
23:00
elite
23:01
venues,
23:02
you
23:02
know,
23:02
would
23:03
insist
23:03
on
23:03
that.
23:04
Well,
23:04
that's
23:04
great.
23:05
And
23:05
we
23:05
can
23:06
do
23:06
that
23:06
because
23:06
of
23:06
the
23:07
training.
23:07
But
23:07
it.
23:08
It's
23:08
quite
23:09
noticeable
23:10
that
23:10
the
23:11
weddings
23:11
that
23:11
have
23:12
gravitated
23:12
towards
23:13
me,
23:13
if
23:14
people
23:14
talk
23:14
about
23:15
me,
23:15
are
23:16
they.
23:16
I
23:17
don't
23:17
like
23:17
entry
23:18
level,
23:19
I
23:19
like
23:20
traditional
23:21
wedding,
23:22
you
23:22
know,
23:23
the.
23:23
Yeah,
23:24
those
23:24
type
23:24
of
23:24
weddings,
23:25
they're
23:25
the
23:25
ones
23:25
that
23:25
gravitate
23:26
towards
23:26
me
23:27
there,
23:27
I
23:28
think.
23:28
So
23:29
I've
23:29
been
23:29
told
23:29
what
23:30
my
23:30
character
23:30
lends
23:31
itself
23:31
to.
23:32
Yeah.
23:32
And
23:33
I
23:33
think
23:33
I'd
23:33
love
23:34
to
23:34
see
23:34
you
23:34
properly
23:35
in
23:35
action,
23:35
because
23:35
I'm
23:35
sure
23:36
you're
23:36
absolutely
23:37
amazing
23:37
on
23:37
a
23:37
wedding
23:38
day.
23:38
I
23:38
really
23:38
know
23:39
that
23:39
you
23:39
would
23:39
be.
23:39
Now,
23:40
the
23:40
other
23:40
thing
23:40
I
23:40
wanted
23:40
to
23:40
talk
23:41
to
23:41
you
23:41
about
23:41
is
23:42
how
23:42
you've
23:42
embraced
23:43
social
23:43
media
23:44
because
23:45
you
23:45
haven't
23:45
shied
23:46
away
23:47
from
23:47
social
23:47
media
23:48
and
23:48
the
23:48
changing
23:49
technology.
23:50
And
23:50
one
23:50
of
23:50
the
23:50
things
23:51
I
23:51
remember
23:51
having
23:51
a
23:51
conversation
23:52
with
23:52
you
23:52
about
23:52
is
23:53
how
23:53
you
23:53
were
23:53
embracing
23:54
TikTok.
23:54
I
23:54
think
23:54
you're
23:55
embracing
23:55
TikTok
23:56
before
23:56
most
23:57
wedding
23:57
businesses
23:57
even
23:58
had
23:58
a
23:58
TikTok
23:58
account.
23:59
So
23:59
talk
23:59
to
24:00
me
24:00
about
24:00
your
24:00
mindset
24:01
around
24:01
social
24:01
media
24:01
and
24:02
how
24:02
you've
24:02
made
24:02
that
24:03
happen.
24:03
Oh,
24:04
Becca,
24:05
how
24:05
honest
24:05
you
24:06
want
24:06
me
24:06
to
24:06
be.
24:07
I
24:07
can't
24:08
bear
24:08
it.
24:09
I
24:09
can't
24:09
bear
24:10
it.
24:10
I'm
24:10
103
24:11
years
24:12
old
24:12
and
24:13
I'm
24:13
having
24:13
to
24:13
go
24:13
on
24:14
TikTok,
24:14
doing
24:15
a
24:15
little
24:15
dance
24:16
here
24:16
and
24:16
there,
24:16
but
24:17
it's
24:17
a
24:17
source
24:17
of
24:18
high
24:18
amusement.
24:19
And
24:19
I
24:19
go
24:19
on
24:19
to
24:20
TikTok.
24:20
I
24:20
mean,
24:21
Facebook
24:21
and
24:21
Instagram
24:22
are
24:22
obvious,
24:23
you
24:23
know,
24:23
if
24:23
you
24:23
want
24:23
to
24:24
be
24:24
on
24:24
social
24:24
media,
24:25
then,
24:26
you
24:26
know,
24:26
that's
24:26
a
24:26
good
24:27
starting
24:27
point.
24:27
And
24:28
I've
24:28
gradually
24:29
done
24:29
a
24:29
few
24:29
bits.
24:31
But
24:31
TikTok.
24:32
I
24:32
got
24:32
on
24:32
TikTok
24:33
because
24:33
my
24:34
granddaughter
24:34
explained,
24:35
you've
24:35
got
24:35
to
24:35
be
24:36
on
24:36
there,
24:36
granddad.
24:37
So
24:37
I
24:37
said,
24:38
fair
24:38
enough.
24:38
And
24:39
I've
24:39
had
24:39
a
24:39
lot
24:39
of
24:39
fun
24:40
with
24:40
it
24:40
because
24:41
I
24:41
get,
24:42
well,
24:42
people
24:42
like
24:43
yourself,
24:43
but
24:43
wedding
24:44
coordinators
24:45
and
24:46
suppliers
24:46
who
24:46
are
24:47
in
24:47
their
24:47
20s.
24:48
Oh,
24:49
come
24:49
on,
24:49
let's
24:49
do
24:49
a
24:49
TikTok.
24:50
Well,
24:50
how'd
24:50
you
24:50
do
24:51
that,
24:51
then?
24:51
So
24:51
I
24:51
just
24:52
pass
24:52
over
24:52
my
24:53
phone
24:53
and
24:54
they
24:54
sort
24:55
it
24:55
out
24:55
for
24:56
me.
24:56
There's
24:56
a.
24:56
There's
24:57
a
24:57
lovely
24:57
one
24:57
at
24:57
Windsor
24:58
Racecourse
24:59
on
24:59
TikTok.
25:00
This.
25:00
This
25:01
charming
25:02
server,
25:03
young
25:03
girl,
25:04
uni
25:05
and
25:05
serving
25:05
behind.
25:06
Oh,
25:06
yeah,
25:06
I'll
25:06
do
25:06
a
25:06
TikTok.
25:07
And
25:08
she
25:08
did
25:08
it
25:08
for
25:09
me
25:09
and
25:10
posted
25:10
it.
25:11
And
25:11
it's
25:11
got
25:12
thousands
25:12
of
25:12
views,
25:13
you
25:13
know,
25:13
So
25:14
I
25:14
had
25:14
a
25:14
Look
25:14
at.
25:14
That
25:15
8,000
25:15
views
25:16
it
25:16
had
25:16
when
25:16
I
25:16
looked
25:17
at
25:17
it
25:17
earlier
25:17
today.
25:18
You?
25:18
Winsor
25:19
race
25:19
course.
25:19
I
25:19
loved
25:20
it.
25:20
Oh,
25:21
is
25:21
that
25:21
old?
25:21
I
25:22
thought
25:22
it
25:22
might
25:22
have
25:22
been
25:22
10,000.
25:23
Only
25:24
joking.
25:26
How
25:26
many
25:27
do
25:27
I
25:27
have
25:27
to
25:27
get
25:27
to
25:28
go
25:28
viral,
25:28
becca?
25:29
Well,
25:30
maybe
25:30
100,000
25:31
or
25:31
more.
25:31
But
25:32
I
25:32
always
25:32
say
25:32
to
25:32
people
25:33
with
25:33
the
25:33
numbers,
25:34
if
25:34
you
25:34
imagine
25:34
that
25:34
you
25:35
stood
25:35
in
25:35
front
25:35
of
25:35
8,000
25:36
people
25:36
and
25:36
talked
25:36
about
25:36
yourself
25:37
and
25:37
your
25:37
business,
25:37
you'd
25:38
be
25:38
very
25:38
chuffed.
25:39
So
25:39
the
25:39
fact
25:39
that
25:39
you've
25:39
done
25:40
that
25:40
via
25:40
TikTok,
25:41
I
25:41
think
25:41
that's
25:41
a
25:41
lot
25:42
to
25:42
be
25:42
proud
25:42
of.
25:42
And
25:42
again,
25:43
I
25:43
love
25:43
the
25:43
way
25:43
that
25:43
TikTok,
25:44
I
25:44
actually
25:44
think
25:44
it
25:45
really
25:45
suits
25:45
your
25:45
personality
25:46
because
25:46
you
25:46
are
25:46
fun
25:47
and
25:47
you
25:47
don't
25:47
mind
25:48
making
25:48
a
25:48
joke
25:48
and
25:49
having
25:49
a
25:49
go
25:49
at
25:50
a
25:50
go
25:50
at
25:50
it.
25:51
And
25:51
so
25:51
what
25:51
you're
25:51
telling
25:51
me
25:52
is
25:52
you
25:52
don't
25:52
do
25:52
it
25:53
yourself.
25:53
You
25:53
basically
25:54
convince
25:54
other
25:54
people
25:54
to
25:55
make
25:55
the
25:55
TikTok
25:55
for
25:55
you
25:56
and
25:56
then
25:56
you
25:56
post
25:56
it.
25:57
Yes.
25:57
So
25:57
that
25:57
was
25:58
that
25:58
example.
26:00
Yes.
26:00
I
26:00
mean,
26:01
my,
26:01
my
26:02
posting
26:02
on
26:02
TikTok
26:03
is
26:03
sparse.
26:04
Definitely
26:05
when
26:05
I'm
26:05
at
26:05
an
26:05
open
26:06
day
26:06
or
26:06
wedding.
26:07
Yes,
26:08
I
26:08
would
26:08
always.
26:09
A
26:09
photographer
26:09
did
26:10
one
26:10
for
26:10
me
26:10
a
26:10
couple
26:11
of
26:11
weeks
26:11
ago
26:12
at
26:12
a
26:12
wedding.
26:13
So,
26:13
you
26:13
know,
26:13
you.
26:14
So
26:14
here's
26:14
another
26:15
thing
26:15
that
26:15
you
26:15
were
26:15
talking
26:16
about.
26:16
I
26:17
got
26:17
on
26:18
great
26:18
with
26:18
the
26:18
photographer,
26:19
charming
26:20
lady.
26:20
She
26:20
was
26:21
second
26:21
shooter.
26:23
But
26:23
I
26:24
worked
26:24
together
26:25
with
26:25
the
26:25
photographers
26:26
and,
26:26
you
26:27
know,
26:27
I
26:27
rounded
26:28
them
26:28
up,
26:28
they
26:28
took
26:28
the
26:29
shots
26:29
and
26:29
we
26:29
got
26:29
everything
26:30
done.
26:30
Good
26:31
timescale
26:31
where
26:32
we're
26:32
in
26:32
time.
26:33
We've
26:33
got
26:33
a
26:33
gap
26:34
till
26:34
we
26:34
go
26:34
in
26:34
for
26:34
the
26:35
wedding
26:35
breakfast.
26:36
So,
26:36
you
26:36
know,
26:36
jobs
26:37
are
26:37
good
26:37
and
26:38
they
26:38
fully
26:38
appreciated
26:39
my
26:39
help
26:40
with
26:40
rounding
26:41
the
26:41
group
26:42
photos
26:42
up.
26:42
So,
26:43
you
26:43
know,
26:43
we
26:43
were
26:43
already
26:44
on
26:44
a.
26:45
A
26:45
plus
26:46
curve
26:47
with
26:47
the
26:47
photo
26:48
and
26:48
then
26:48
we
26:48
were
26:48
talking
26:48
about
26:49
tick
26:49
tock
26:49
and
26:49
I
26:49
said,
26:50
oh,
26:50
right,
26:50
well.
26:51
And
26:51
she
26:51
said,
26:51
look,
26:51
I'll
26:52
do
26:52
something
26:52
for
26:52
you.
26:52
This
26:53
is
26:53
on
26:53
trend.
26:54
And
26:54
so
26:55
she
26:55
did
26:55
this
26:55
one
26:55
for,
26:56
you
26:56
know,
26:56
so
26:57
that
26:57
sort
26:57
of
26:57
works.
26:58
And
26:58
I
26:58
suppose
26:58
it's
26:59
another
26:59
example
27:00
of,
27:01
you
27:01
know,
27:02
people
27:02
person,
27:03
but
27:03
I
27:04
can
27:04
do
27:04
a
27:04
tick
27:05
tock,
27:05
but
27:06
it's
27:06
so
27:06
much
27:06
better
27:07
when
27:07
it
27:07
looks
27:08
a
27:08
little
27:08
more
27:08
polished
27:09
with
27:09
a
27:09
young
27:10
person.
27:11
So
27:11
QR
27:12
codes.
27:13
Becca,
27:13
I'm
27:14
blowing
27:14
smoke
27:15
somewhere
27:15
now.
27:16
You
27:16
sorted
27:16
a
27:17
QR
27:17
code
27:18
for
27:18
me,
27:18
right?
27:19
A
27:19
little
27:20
while
27:20
back.
27:20
Right.
27:21
Magical.
27:21
Changed
27:22
my
27:22
life.
27:23
Instead
27:23
of
27:24
getting
27:24
depressed
27:24
on
27:25
a
27:25
Sunday
27:25
night,
27:26
emailing
27:27
31
27:27
couples
27:28
from
27:28
this
27:29
afternoon,
27:30
QR
27:31
code,
27:31
sign
27:32
up
27:32
to
27:32
my
27:32
mailing
27:33
list,
27:33
etc.
27:34
So
27:34
we
27:35
in
27:35
the
27:35
wedding
27:36
business,
27:36
we
27:36
all
27:36
sort
27:37
of
27:37
know
27:37
that
27:38
story,
27:38
but
27:38
I
27:38
didn't
27:39
know.
27:39
And
27:39
so
27:39
that's
27:40
brilliant.
27:40
An
27:41
automated
27:41
chain
27:42
of
27:42
emails.
27:43
And
27:43
then
27:43
people
27:44
do
27:44
get
27:44
back
27:44
to
27:45
you
27:45
at
27:45
the
27:46
right
27:46
time
27:46
if
27:47
they're
27:47
interested
27:48
in
27:48
talking,
27:49
you
27:49
know.
27:49
And
27:50
so
27:51
of
27:51
course,
27:51
my
27:52
hilarious
27:53
announcement
27:53
at
27:54
a
27:54
wedding
27:54
is,
27:55
oh,
27:55
on
27:55
the
27:56
tables,
27:56
ladies
27:56
and
27:57
gentlemen,
27:57
I've
27:57
been
27:58
asked
27:58
to
27:58
mention
27:58
there's
27:59
a
27:59
QR
27:59
code,
28:00
so
28:01
please
28:02
scan
28:02
it
28:02
and
28:03
sign
28:03
up
28:03
to
28:03
it
28:04
and
28:04
you
28:04
can
28:04
upload
28:05
all
28:05
your
28:05
photos
28:06
for
28:06
today
28:07
so
28:07
that
28:07
the
28:07
couple
28:07
can
28:08
see
28:08
them
28:08
in
28:09
days
28:09
and
28:09
years
28:10
to
28:10
come.
28:10
So
28:10
please
28:10
make
28:11
sure
28:11
you
28:11
do
28:11
that.
28:12
If
28:12
you
28:12
do
28:12
not
28:13
know
28:13
what
28:13
a
28:13
QR
28:14
code
28:14
is,
28:14
ask
28:15
someone
28:15
half
28:16
your
28:16
age
28:17
and
28:17
always
28:18
raises
28:18
a
28:18
titter.
28:19
And
28:19
of
28:20
course,
28:20
people
28:21
of
28:21
50
28:21
and
28:22
60
28:22
are
28:23
saying,
28:23
what's
28:23
this?
28:24
What's
28:24
this?
28:24
QR
28:25
code
28:25
he's
28:25
talking
28:25
about.
28:26
What's
28:26
this?
28:26
What's
28:26
this?
28:27
I
28:27
know
28:27
they're
28:27
out
28:28
there
28:28
thinking
28:29
that
28:29
because
28:29
that
28:30
was
28:30
me.
28:31
So
28:32
yeah,
28:33
it's
28:33
so
28:33
true.
28:33
And
28:34
what
28:34
I
28:34
love
28:34
about
28:34
you,
28:34
John,
28:35
is
28:35
that
28:35
you
28:36
know
28:36
that
28:36
you
28:36
want
28:36
to
28:36
do
28:37
these
28:37
things
28:37
and
28:37
you're
28:37
not
28:37
afraid
28:38
to
28:38
learn
28:38
about
28:39
them,
28:39
but
28:39
you're
28:39
also
28:39
not
28:39
afraid
28:40
to
28:40
ask
28:40
other
28:41
people
28:41
to
28:41
help
28:41
you
28:41
with
28:42
them.
28:42
Whether
28:42
that's
28:42
me
28:43
helping
28:43
you
28:43
with
28:43
the
28:43
QR
28:44
code,
28:44
whether
28:44
that's
28:44
the
28:44
photographer
28:45
helping
28:45
you
28:45
with
28:45
the
28:46
TikTok.
28:46
And
28:47
actually
28:48
we
28:48
do
28:48
better
28:49
when
28:49
we
28:50
do
28:50
the
28:50
things
28:50
we're
28:50
good
28:51
at,
28:51
but
28:51
we
28:51
also
28:52
ask
28:52
for
28:52
help
28:52
with
28:52
the
28:52
things
28:53
that
28:53
we're
28:53
not
28:53
so
28:53
good
28:53
at.
28:54
And
28:54
I
28:54
think
28:54
you're
28:55
absolutely
28:55
amazing
28:56
at
28:56
doing
28:56
that
28:56
for
28:57
sure.
28:57
Now
28:58
that
28:58
leads
28:59
me
28:59
nicely
28:59
on
28:59
to
29:00
one
29:00
of
29:00
my
29:00
final
29:00
questions
29:01
actually
29:01
because
29:01
I
29:01
know
29:02
that
29:02
education
29:03
is
29:03
important
29:03
to
29:03
you.
29:04
You
29:04
know
29:04
that
29:04
from
29:05
the
29:05
fact
29:05
that
29:05
you
29:05
did
29:06
a
29:06
five
29:06
day
29:06
course
29:07
to
29:07
become
29:07
a
29:07
toastmaster
29:08
and
29:08
then
29:08
you
29:08
got
29:08
your
29:09
medallion.
29:09
I
29:10
know
29:10
that
29:10
because
29:10
you've
29:10
read
29:11
my
29:11
book.
29:11
I
29:11
know
29:11
that
29:11
because
29:12
you're
29:12
in
29:12
the
29:12
members
29:12
lounge
29:13
for
29:13
people
29:13
listening
29:14
who
29:14
have
29:14
their
29:14
wedding
29:15
businesses.
29:15
Why
29:16
do
29:16
you
29:16
think
29:16
it
29:16
is
29:16
important
29:17
at
29:17
any
29:18
age
29:18
to
29:18
keep
29:18
on
29:19
educating
29:19
yourself?
29:20
Oh
29:20
yeah,
29:21
because
29:24
nobody
29:25
ever
29:26
knows
29:26
it
29:26
all.
29:28
Anyone
29:28
who
29:28
a
29:29
golf
29:29
analogy.
29:31
You
29:31
can
29:31
shoot
29:32
five
29:32
under
29:32
par
29:33
today,
29:34
but
29:34
you
29:34
won't
29:34
do
29:34
it
29:35
again
29:35
tomorrow.
29:36
You
29:37
know
29:37
18
29:37
under
29:38
par
29:38
is
29:38
perfection.
29:39
Well,
29:39
it's
29:39
not
29:40
because
29:40
you
29:40
could
29:40
make
29:40
an
29:41
eagle
29:41
at
29:41
a
29:41
cup
29:41
of
29:41
so
29:42
20
29:42
under
29:43
pars
29:43
achievable
29:44
and
29:45
so
29:45
on
29:45
and
29:45
so
29:45
on.
29:46
There's
29:46
never
29:46
perfection
29:47
and
29:47
we
29:47
know
29:48
that
29:48
story.
29:49
But
29:49
you've
29:49
got
29:50
to
29:50
keep
29:51
moving
29:51
forward
29:51
and
29:52
striving
29:52
to
29:52
make
29:53
yourself
29:53
better
29:54
because
29:55
anything.
29:57
And
29:57
I'm
29:58
really
29:58
keen
29:59
on
29:59
this
29:59
industry
30:00
and
30:00
this
30:00
job.
30:01
I
30:01
don't
30:02
know
30:02
whether
30:02
I
30:03
can
30:03
go
30:04
fully,
30:04
fully
30:05
full
30:05
time
30:06
and
30:06
I
30:06
may
30:07
learn
30:07
to
30:07
not
30:08
enjoy
30:08
it
30:08
as
30:08
much
30:09
if
30:09
I
30:09
did
30:09
go
30:11
full
30:11
time.
30:11
I
30:11
was
30:12
traveling
30:12
all
30:12
over
30:12
during
30:13
the
30:13
week.
30:13
What
30:14
I've
30:14
got
30:14
is
30:15
a
30:15
magnificent
30:16
balance
30:16
but
30:16
I
30:17
want
30:17
to,
30:17
I
30:18
want
30:18
to
30:18
get
30:19
more
30:20
out
30:20
of
30:20
it.
30:21
And
30:21
for
30:22
example,
30:23
back
30:23
to
30:23
home
30:24
base.
30:24
A
30:25
wedding
30:25
when
30:26
guests
30:27
come
30:27
and
30:27
say
30:27
oh
30:28
fantastic,
30:29
we
30:29
love
30:29
what
30:29
you
30:29
did
30:29
for
30:30
our
30:30
girl
30:31
and
30:31
son
30:31
in
30:32
law
30:32
today.
30:32
Whatever,
30:33
whatever.
30:33
That's
30:34
not
30:34
unusual
30:34
because
30:35
that's
30:35
the
30:35
training
30:36
and
30:36
that
30:36
should
30:37
be
30:37
a
30:37
given.
30:37
You've
30:38
given
30:38
them
30:38
a
30:38
good
30:38
day.
30:39
What
30:39
I
30:39
will
30:40
go
30:40
away
30:40
and
30:40
look
30:40
at
30:41
is
30:42
I
30:42
actually
30:42
forgot
30:43
to
30:43
check
30:43
with
30:43
the
30:44
venue
30:44
whether
30:44
chef's
30:45
okay
30:45
before
30:46
I
30:46
announced
30:47
dinner
30:47
is
30:47
served.
30:48
Bon
30:48
appetit.
30:49
I
30:50
didn't
30:50
check
30:50
with
30:50
Lauren,
30:51
you
30:51
know,
30:51
and
30:52
etc,
30:52
etc.
30:53
So
30:53
you
30:53
can
30:54
always
30:54
just
30:56
Sharpen
30:56
up
30:57
however
30:58
much
30:58
it
30:58
is.
30:59
A
30:59
little
30:59
bit
31:00
or
31:00
a
31:00
lot.
31:01
And
31:02
I
31:02
mean,
31:02
my
31:03
first
31:03
wedding
31:04
and
31:05
last
31:05
week's
31:05
wedding
31:06
would,
31:06
you
31:07
know,
31:07
if
31:07
you
31:07
had
31:07
a
31:07
video,
31:08
then
31:08
the
31:09
training
31:09
officers
31:10
would
31:11
pull
31:11
the
31:11
first
31:12
one
31:12
apart,
31:13
probably,
31:13
you
31:13
know.
31:14
Yeah,
31:14
but
31:14
you
31:14
can
31:14
always
31:15
improve.
31:15
And
31:15
I
31:15
always
31:16
say
31:16
the
31:16
only
31:16
person
31:17
you
31:17
should
31:17
be
31:17
comparing
31:18
yourself
31:18
is
31:18
to
31:18
yourself
31:19
previously.
31:20
So
31:20
the
31:20
fact
31:20
that
31:20
you
31:21
can
31:21
see
31:21
that
31:21
journey,
31:22
you
31:22
can
31:22
see
31:22
where
31:23
you've
31:23
got
31:23
to
31:23
where
31:23
you've
31:24
come
31:24
from,
31:24
I
31:25
think
31:25
is
31:25
so,
31:25
so
31:25
important.
31:26
So,
31:27
John,
31:27
what
31:27
is
31:27
next
31:28
for
31:28
you?
31:28
If
31:28
you
31:29
could
31:29
do
31:29
anything
31:30
in
31:30
your
31:30
life,
31:31
your
31:31
career,
31:31
your
31:32
business,
31:32
do
31:32
you
31:32
know
31:32
what's.
31:33
What's
31:33
on
31:33
that
31:33
bucket
31:34
list?
31:34
What's
31:34
next
31:34
for
31:35
you?
31:35
Yeah,
31:36
that's
31:36
really
31:36
good
31:37
as
31:37
well.
31:37
You've
31:38
done
31:38
this
31:38
before,
31:39
haven't
31:39
you?
31:41
This
31:41
is
31:41
really
31:41
good.
31:42
Well,
31:42
I've
31:43
actually.
31:44
I'm
31:44
actually
31:45
a
31:45
celebrant,
31:47
so.
31:47
But
31:48
I
31:48
don't
31:48
push
31:49
that.
31:49
I've
31:49
got
31:49
more
31:50
than
31:50
enough
31:50
going
31:50
on
31:50
with
31:51
Toastmaster.
31:52
I
31:52
did
31:52
some
31:52
training
31:53
with
31:54
Karina,
31:55
who
31:55
I
31:55
believe
31:55
you
31:56
know,
31:56
a
31:57
magnificent
31:57
celebrant
31:59
from
31:59
Kent
32:00
and
32:00
Wales.
32:01
She
32:01
is,
32:02
so
32:02
don't
32:03
ask.
32:04
But
32:04
I
32:05
did
32:05
some
32:05
training
32:05
with
32:05
her
32:06
and
32:06
it.
32:06
I
32:06
only
32:07
use
32:07
it
32:07
because
32:07
there's
32:08
lots
32:08
of
32:08
fab
32:09
celebrants
32:09
out
32:09
there,
32:09
but
32:10
I
32:10
only
32:10
use
32:10
it
32:10
if
32:11
a
32:11
couple
32:11
gravitate
32:12
towards
32:12
me
32:12
and
32:13
ask
32:13
about
32:13
a
32:13
ceremony
32:14
and
32:14
if
32:14
they
32:15
really
32:15
invest
32:16
in
32:16
you,
32:17
they
32:17
say,
32:17
john,
32:18
could
32:18
you
32:18
do
32:18
our
32:19
ceremony?
32:20
We
32:20
want
32:20
you.
32:21
Yes,
32:21
I
32:21
can.
32:22
And
32:22
so
32:23
it's
32:23
happened
32:24
half
32:24
a
32:24
dozen
32:24
times
32:25
where
32:25
in
32:26
the
32:26
past,
32:26
and
32:26
I've
32:27
got
32:27
them
32:27
coming
32:27
up
32:27
next
32:28
year
32:28
as
32:28
well,
32:29
where
32:29
I
32:29
will
32:30
do
32:30
both
32:30
roles
32:31
and
32:31
change
32:31
hats
32:32
or
32:32
coats,
32:33
in
32:33
this
32:33
case,
32:34
halfway
32:35
through.
32:36
So
32:36
that's
32:37
really
32:37
flattering.
32:37
So
32:38
maybe
32:38
a
32:39
bit
32:39
more
32:39
of
32:39
that,
32:39
but
32:40
just
32:40
in
32:40
conversation
32:42
and
32:42
definitely,
32:43
definitely
32:45
increasing
32:46
my
32:47
work
32:48
on
32:48
the
32:49
toastmastering.
32:50
Yeah,
32:51
Yeah,
32:51
I
32:52
love
32:52
that.
32:52
I
32:52
didn't
32:52
even
32:52
know.
32:53
We
32:53
hadn't
32:53
even
32:53
had
32:54
time
32:54
to
32:54
talk
32:54
about
32:54
the
32:54
fact
32:54
that
32:55
you
32:55
did
32:55
celebrant
32:55
training.
32:56
So
32:56
I
32:57
love
32:57
that
32:57
you're
32:57
always
32:57
expanding,
32:58
always
32:59
looking
32:59
at
32:59
what
32:59
you
32:59
offer,
33:00
and
33:00
I'm
33:00
sure
33:00
those
33:01
couples
33:01
will
33:01
be
33:02
thrilled
33:02
to
33:03
have
33:03
you
33:03
both
33:03
as
33:03
their
33:04
celebrant
33:04
and
33:04
their
33:04
toastmaster.
33:05
Now,
33:05
John,
33:06
I
33:06
always
33:06
end
33:07
my
33:07
podcast
33:07
episodes
33:08
with
33:08
the
33:08
same
33:08
question,
33:09
so
33:09
I'm
33:09
going
33:09
to
33:09
pose
33:09
that
33:09
to
33:10
you
33:10
now.
33:10
And
33:10
that's
33:11
what's
33:11
one
33:11
thing
33:12
you
33:12
wish
33:12
you'd
33:12
known
33:13
sooner
33:13
in
33:14
your
33:14
own
33:14
wedding
33:15
business.
33:15
So
33:16
that's
33:17
really
33:17
good.
33:18
If
33:19
only
33:19
I'd
33:19
known
33:20
this
33:20
in
33:20
advance.
33:21
Joking.
33:22
So
33:23
you
33:23
may
33:24
well
33:24
hate
33:24
this,
33:25
but
33:25
it's
33:25
not
33:25
a
33:25
thing,
33:25
it's
33:26
a
33:26
person.
33:27
It's
33:28
Becca
33:28
Pountney
33:29
I
33:29
could
33:29
have
33:30
done
33:30
with
33:30
knowing
33:31
five
33:31
years
33:32
ago
33:32
because
33:34
don't
33:34
smile
33:35
or
33:36
applaud
33:36
yourself
33:37
too
33:37
much,
33:38
but
33:38
because
33:39
it's
33:40
experts
33:41
who
33:41
know
33:42
where
33:43
the
33:44
network
33:45
is
33:45
to
33:46
outsource.
33:47
Outsource.
33:48
Mine's
33:48
a
33:48
part
33:48
time
33:49
business,
33:49
but
33:49
I
33:49
need
33:50
to
33:50
work
33:50
out
33:50
whether
33:51
I
33:51
can
33:51
afford
33:52
£1
33:53
10,
33:54
£400
33:55
to
33:55
outsource
33:56
something
33:57
that
33:58
I
33:58
know
33:58
I
33:58
can't
33:59
do.
33:59
Whereas
34:00
before
34:00
it's,
34:01
oh
34:01
my
34:01
God,
34:02
how
34:02
am
34:02
I
34:02
going
34:02
to
34:03
do
34:03
social
34:03
media?
34:04
How
34:04
am
34:04
I
34:04
going
34:04
to
34:05
do
34:07
automatic
34:07
this,
34:08
that
34:08
and
34:08
the
34:08
other,
34:09
and
34:09
then
34:09
you
34:09
leave
34:10
it.
34:10
Well,
34:10
now
34:12
outsourcing
34:13
and
34:14
having
34:14
a
34:15
network
34:15
of
34:15
people
34:16
that
34:16
have
34:17
been
34:17
doing
34:17
this
34:17
like
34:18
child's
34:18
play.
34:19
And
34:19
if
34:19
they
34:19
then
34:20
said
34:20
to
34:20
me,
34:20
well,
34:20
in
34:21
return,
34:21
we
34:22
need
34:22
someone
34:22
at
34:23
the
34:23
school
34:23
prize
34:24
giving,
34:24
right,
34:25
here
34:25
we
34:25
go,
34:25
then
34:25
I'll
34:26
come
34:26
and
34:26
do
34:26
that
34:26
for
34:27
or
34:27
you're
34:27
no
34:27
trouble
34:27
at
34:28
all,
34:28
you
34:28
know.
34:29
So
34:29
Becca
34:30
Pountney
34:30
is
34:31
my
34:31
answer
34:31
to
34:31
that.
34:32
And
34:32
John,
34:32
this
34:33
is
34:33
why
34:33
you're
34:33
such
34:33
a
34:33
good
34:34
people
34:34
person,
34:34
because
34:35
you
34:35
make
34:35
us
34:35
all
34:35
feel
34:36
so
34:36
good
34:36
about
34:36
ourselves.
34:37
And
34:37
I
34:37
appreciate
34:38
you.
34:39
I
34:39
appreciate
34:39
you
34:39
so
34:40
much.
34:40
And
34:40
we'll
34:41
take
34:41
that
34:41
as
34:41
an
34:41
answer.
34:41
Everyone
34:42
needs
34:42
a
34:42
bit
34:42
more
34:43
Beck,
34:43
apparently
34:43
in
34:43
their
34:44
life
34:44
maybe.
34:44
Unless
34:45
they're
34:45
my
34:45
husband
34:45
and
34:45
then
34:46
maybe
34:46
they
34:46
want
34:46
a
34:46
little
34:46
bit
34:47
less
34:47
of
34:47
me
34:47
in
34:47
their
34:47
life.
34:48
Who
34:48
knows?
34:49
I
34:49
think
34:49
I
34:49
wind
34:49
them
34:49
up.
34:50
Becca,
34:51
if
34:51
I
34:51
could
34:51
just
34:52
say
34:53
my
34:54
wife
34:54
has
34:54
been
34:54
a
34:55
great
34:56
fan
34:57
of
34:57
my
34:57
business,
34:58
if
34:58
you
34:58
like.
34:59
And
35:00
another
35:00
announcement.
35:01
I
35:01
say,
35:01
because
35:01
you
35:02
say
35:02
you
35:02
wind
35:03
your
35:03
husband
35:03
up.
35:04
Well,
35:04
I
35:04
say
35:05
to
35:06
the
35:06
correct
35:07
guests
35:07
at
35:08
weddings
35:09
that
35:09
I
35:09
think
35:10
my
35:10
wife's
35:10
embarrassed
35:11
by
35:12
me
35:12
and
35:13
they're
35:13
on
35:14
the
35:14
back
35:14
foot.
35:14
They
35:15
say,
35:15
really?
35:15
I
35:16
said,
35:16
yeah,
35:16
we
35:16
got
35:16
married
35:17
14
35:17
years
35:18
ago.
35:18
But
35:19
I
35:19
still
35:19
think
35:19
she's
35:19
embarrassed
35:20
by
35:20
me
35:20
because
35:21
on
35:21
our
35:21
wedding
35:22
day
35:22
I
35:22
was
35:22
only
35:23
invited
35:23
to
35:23
the
35:24
evening
35:24
reception.
35:25
And
35:25
of
35:25
course,
35:26
again,
35:26
that
35:27
breaks
35:27
the
35:27
ice
35:28
and
35:29
raises
35:30
a
35:30
lot
35:30
of
35:30
smiles,
35:31
calms
35:31
some
35:32
nerves
35:32
and
35:33
everything
35:34
else.
35:34
John,
35:35
this
35:35
has
35:35
been
35:35
such
35:36
a
35:36
fantastic
35:36
conversation.
35:37
You
35:37
always
35:37
make
35:37
me
35:37
smile.
35:38
I
35:38
love
35:38
talking
35:39
to
35:39
you
35:39
and
35:39
I
35:39
hope
35:39
it's
35:39
been
35:40
inspiring
35:40
to
35:40
some
35:40
of
35:40
my
35:41
listeners.
35:41
If
35:41
people
35:42
want
35:42
to
35:42
find
35:42
out
35:42
more
35:42
about
35:43
your
35:43
business
35:43
and
35:43
about
35:44
you,
35:44
where's
35:44
the
35:44
best
35:45
place
35:45
for
35:45
them
35:45
to
35:45
do
35:45
that?
35:46
Oh,
35:46
okay,
35:47
so
35:49
website
35:49
is
35:50
toastmasterjohn.com
35:52
it
35:52
all
35:52
does
35:52
what
35:53
it
35:53
says
35:53
on
35:53
the
35:53
tin
35:54
and
35:54
Facebook,
35:55
Instagram
35:56
and
35:56
TikTok
35:57
will
35:57
be
35:58
Toastmaster
35:59
John
36:00
or
36:00
Instagram's
36:01
with
36:01
an
36:01
underscore
36:02
in
36:02
the
36:02
middle.
36:03
So
36:03
fantastic.
36:04
And
36:04
I
36:04
will
36:04
make
36:05
sure
36:05
I
36:06
put
36:06
a
36:06
link
36:06
to
36:07
all
36:07
of
36:07
those
36:07
places
36:07
in
36:07
the
36:08
show
36:08
notes
36:08
so
36:08
people
36:08
can
36:09
come
36:09
and
36:09
find
36:09
you
36:09
and
36:09
come
36:09
and
36:10
watch
36:10
some
36:10
of
36:10
your
36:10
TikToks,
36:11
and
36:11
I
36:11
hope
36:11
that
36:12
there's
36:12
going
36:12
to
36:12
be
36:12
some
36:12
more
36:12
TikTok
36:13
content
36:14
coming
36:14
soon,
36:14
because
36:14
I
36:15
love
36:15
it.
36:15
John,
36:15
thank
36:16
you
36:16
so
36:16
much
36:16
for
36:16
being
36:16
here.
36:17
It's
36:17
been
36:17
a
36:17
pleasure.
36:18
Brilliant.
36:18
Thank
36:18
you
36:19
so
36:19
much.
36:19
Becca
36:20
loved
36:20
it.
36:20
And,
36:21
yeah,
36:22
if
36:22
you
36:22
can
36:23
explain
36:23
to
36:24
me
36:24
what
36:24
that
36:24
link
36:25
is,
36:25
then
36:25
I'll
36:26
have
36:26
a
36:26
look
36:26
at
36:26
it.
36:26
Perhaps
36:27
I'll
36:27
have
36:27
a
36:27
look
36:27
at
36:27
myself.
36:28
I
36:28
will
36:28
let
36:29
you
36:29
know,
36:29
I
36:29
promise.
36:30
I
36:31
love
36:31
that
36:31
conversation
36:31
with
36:32
John.
36:32
Isn't
36:32
he
36:33
fabulous?
36:33
He's
36:34
definitely
36:34
breaking
36:35
the
36:35
mold
36:35
of
36:35
the
36:35
stereotypical
36:36
toastmaster.
36:37
He's
36:37
making
36:37
me
36:38
want
36:38
to
36:38
see
36:38
