Transcript
- 0:00Welcome back. Here are the six quick questions. So question number one, what's your why? Why are you doing this every single day? I think it's my why in life. It's not just my why in work. And I was talking about this last
- 0:31wholehearted and passionate and of service when I am connected to others or are fostering connections. So that is my why in life. And that is, I guess, the why of the deep is people feel
- 0:55yeah, connected to something or someone. I think impact's just really important to have as part of your life in whatever business you're doing or whatever you're doing in your community. If you have impact, it helps with that feeling of more fulfilment and contentment and those things that you can struggle with if you don't have it. Love that. Question number two is what's been your favourite marketing moment so far for the show? Oh, always the banner.
- 1:25Always the Apple banner. The Apple banner is the most exciting moment for anyone. Being number one in Australia was pretty epic. Actually, we are top five in the top, not top five. We are in the top five sub ANZ and we're top 25 worldwide worldwide.
- 1:46So that's fun too. Is that a marketing thing? I don't know. Yeah. Hell yeah. That's great. Cool. Yeah. Love that for you. That's fun. That's fun. Question number three. What is your go-to resource when it comes to business? If you have to think about like a podcast or a book.
- 2:03Great answer. Great answer. Tash is my one-stop shop. Like I don't think anyone will ever, like I will eventually need to just take her and take her.
- 2:17take her away and be all mine, which she probably won't ever want. You can't do that. I'm not allowed. I know. I know. I need her. I need her. I need her too. I seriously cannot function without her and her thoughts and inputs and ideas. I just need to be talent and she needs to be business.
- 2:35Does that make sense? It makes so much sense. I sent her a message a couple of days ago, just being like, I just need you to know how grateful I am to you, how grateful I am for your time. And like, you know, just, she's such a generous soul with everything. She's such an amazing. And I think that's something that is like, we're all women team. That's, um,
- 3:00even my accountant, my lawyer, everyone is female that we work with. And I think it's really intentional to have these fucking strong, smart, audacious women on your team. You need those people on your team. Absolutely. Amen. Question number four is how do you win the day? What are your AM or PM rituals and habits that keep you feeling happy and successful and motivated? You're
- 3:29Oh my God. I don't win any days. I don't win. I'm not winning. Oh my God. I have no idea winning the day, winning the day. Do you know what I take? I win the day is I take my homeopathic sleep drops at night, four of them. And I do a breathing exercise and I try and just get good sleep.
- 3:54If I can sleep well, because I am a slave to my ambition. Flex mommy taught me that. And I am a slave to my children, which I fucking love. But I have no time anywhere for anything so much.
- 4:15That I need to address. This is a bit of a come to Jesus moment, but winning the day, I'd like to win a day. I'm wearing a watch that keeps buzzing and telling me to walk and move. That's what it's doing. I feel like winning the day to me is like lots of small moments that just bring you joy in that small moment. It's not like one specific thing, but it's like,
- 4:35Those tiny things. I like that. Like for me, it's like getting the sleep. That's definitely winning the day. Or like having, you know, just the green juice that I love. That if I had that every day, that would be amazing. But I don't have it every day. So therefore I'm kind of missing that small joy. Do you know what is amazing and that I'm truly grateful for is being in a privileged position to be with my babies and work.
- 5:04Like, yes, I'm still working now and it's 7.10 and I've been working since 7 a.m. But in her waking hours when she's not napping, I get her up from her nap. I give her breakfast. I cuddle her. I play with her. Yes, I might need to answer a couple of emails while she plays something else, but that's a privilege and that makes me feel like I'm winning something that I can have the accessibility to do that and work.
- 5:32Yes, absolutely. That's amazing. Question number five is, and I think we might have covered this, but I'm going to ask it again. What's the worst money you've spent in business and how much did it cost you? Your worst money mistake. I feel bad saying that about him. He was so great. It was just a
- 5:53Just too much, you know? I think sometimes we jump to like you think that there's an answer but you don't have like the right kind of, it's just not the right match. And so you think it's going to be the right match, but then when you get into it you're like, oof, wrong. And then you have paid too much and then you're on a contract and then I couldn't get out. But he's a sweetheart. Love him. Just too overqualified and too much money. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- 6:22Question number six, last question. I'm sure you've got lots of these. What is just a crazy story, good or bad, that you've had from this journey? Crazy story. I mean, they're all, that's the job, right? The job is fucking crazy. But, like, if it was, like, a wow moment, it would be crazy.
- 6:49There's a really fancy restaurant here called Fred's. And I went there when we launched. No, no, when we got to number one. So it was still that first season. And the waitress, because I was still very new, the waitress was like, I love your podcast. We all love your podcast here. And I was like, oh.
- 7:09someone real listens because usually it's just numbers and I know that's a very humble low-key moment but it was like a real life person telling me they love it
- 7:21That was pretty cool. I feel like that thrill also just never goes away, right? When someone pops into your inbox or your DMs and just shares a tiny little thing of how it's impacted them or their day or their business or their life. And you're like, this will never get old. Someone saying those words to you will never get old. Yeah, I think probably, you know, and that is such a good point that you bring up because that is a crazy thing that happens all the time is the DMs are, you know, pumping, you can imagine.
- 7:51But those moments of...
- 7:54I grew up religious, I had a huge judgment on this, on a trans issue, it changed the way I see the world, changed the conversations I'm having with my family members, changes the way I'm raising my kids. Like that, I probably take that for granted a little bit, like that's pretty fucking wild. And it's, I probably take it, I don't take it for granted, I think I can't handle it. Sorry, it's the other way around. Like it's too much for my little heart to bear that,
- 8:24that I kind of just skim past those ones because it's like, oh, that's crazy. That's crazy. That is seriously crazy. That's impact. That's impact. I have loved this. This was so much fun.
