- 1:36Speaker 1: a very fun one which is from A brook and
- 1:38Speaker 1: who said, what reality TV show do you think you
- 1:42Speaker 1: would do well at? Oh my goodness, I was gonna
- 1:46Speaker 1: say you'd make great reality TV. I think you'd be
- 1:49Speaker 1: so fun on TV.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Just say it's so sweet.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I think you would too.
- 1:53Speaker 2: You'd be so like I think if you were and
- 1:56Speaker 2: this this is not the question, but if you're in prison.
- 1:59Speaker 1: You would be.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I think you would accidentally be like you'd be ruling
- 2:07Speaker 2: the roost, you know what you really would be.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I don't I fear I would be too scared. No,
- 2:15Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know.
- 2:17Speaker 2: You would accidentally be the head of that household, you know,
- 2:20Speaker 2: like some.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Brook Windom Energy maybe or something.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah, hell yeah, But no reality TV show. I think
- 2:26Speaker 2: everyone would like to think that they would be good
- 2:27Speaker 2: at Survivor.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Why was I thinking Survivor? I would not be good
- 2:32Speaker 1: at Survivor the records.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I just don't think either. But I think that I
- 2:36Speaker 2: would be good on like I don't know if anyone
- 2:38Speaker 2: knows the Trust or the Secret Millionaire's like very netflixy,
- 2:42Speaker 2: I don't know. There's just like ones where like You're
- 2:45Speaker 2: it's kind of like Big Brother. I think I would
- 2:47Speaker 2: do okay on Big Brother.
- 2:47Speaker 1: You'd be great on Big Brother? Oh be so good
- 2:50Speaker 1: to beg for Big Brother?
- 2:52Speaker 2: You apply for it? Answer so many questions, Not that
- 2:54Speaker 2: I've applied every year, but please let me hunt the show.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Have you applied before?
- 2:57Speaker 2: I have applied before.
- 2:58Speaker 1: That's so far and no, never heard back.
- 3:01Speaker 2: End your turned.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I don't think I would be good for reality TV.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I think I'm so nervous and introverted that I wouldn't
- 3:08Speaker 1: be good at all. So I was really racking my brains.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I feel like I may have said this before. But
- 3:13Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, I would pick like
- 3:15Speaker 1: a Dancing with the Stars's so fun to learn a
- 3:19Speaker 1: dance every week and wear a sparkly costume, or maybe
- 3:24Speaker 1: like a master chef. But I can't cook. I can
- 3:26Speaker 1: only bake.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Yeah, British Bake Off. Oh my god, I'd be good.
- 3:30Speaker 1: On the Great British Breakup.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Oh my god. Nothing screams just for me like Great
- 3:34Speaker 2: British Fake Off. That would be so cute.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And if I could do a fun one where they
- 3:38Speaker 1: you have sometimes they get celebrities, like that would be
- 3:40Speaker 1: a fun episode, Like not that I'm a celebrity, but
- 3:42Speaker 1: it would be a fun episode to be around actual celebrities.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Oh my god, they'd be so cute.
- 3:47Speaker 1: So if anyone worked in TV production, land, call us
- 3:49Speaker 1: call Us.
- 3:50Speaker 2: The next one comes from Casey, who says, what's your
- 3:53Speaker 2: go to comfort homemade meal?
- 3:56Speaker 1: That's a good one, so homemade. If I'm sick, I'm
- 4:00Speaker 1: making two boiled eggs with soldiers and an orange juice
- 4:04Speaker 1: because that's what my mom used to make me when
- 4:06Speaker 1: I was sick, Like a dippy egg. Yeah at the
- 4:08Speaker 1: top of delicious, but as an adult, my comfort meal
- 4:12Speaker 1: when I'm sick. It's giving home. Maybe it's not. There's
- 4:14Speaker 1: a local restaurant. I don't actually know what cuisine it
- 4:17Speaker 1: is specifically, but they do a crispy fried noodle and
- 4:21Speaker 1: then it comes with like almost a broth with veg
- 4:25Speaker 1: I get it vegetarian. Yeah, So it's like a you know,
- 4:28Speaker 1: broccoli and all these things that's really yummy. And so
- 4:30Speaker 1: the veggies are all steamed and then in this delicious
- 4:32Speaker 1: like saucy mixture and then you pour that over the
- 4:36Speaker 1: crispy noodles and the noodles go soft, and it's like
- 4:40Speaker 1: just so wholesome, comforting, like feels good. It's got lots
- 4:44Speaker 1: of veggies in it, Like I just feel good after
- 4:46Speaker 1: I've eaten it. I think to myself all the time
- 4:49Speaker 1: because sadly, a lot of businesses are closing where I live,
- 4:51Speaker 1: like a lot of local restaurants and stuff. And I
- 4:53Speaker 1: was like, if this restaurant ever goes out of business,
- 4:56Speaker 1: I am going to be absolutely devastated. Yeah, because it's
- 5:00Speaker 1: like they just call it a crispy combination noodle. Oh
- 5:04Speaker 1: so it's not even like I can google it and
- 5:05Speaker 1: find what it is. I love it.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Yeah, they can never close because I need it. That's
- 5:11Speaker 1: my sick food.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Can you send me the name of that place because
- 5:15Speaker 2: it sounds delicious? Absolutely, my one is. And I used
- 5:20Speaker 2: to be made fun of for this because it sounds disgusting,
- 5:22Speaker 2: but I promise it is. It's actually so good. I
- 5:25Speaker 2: get like a big you know, the big cans of
- 5:28Speaker 2: red salmon or pink salmon, red salmon if it's in
- 5:31Speaker 2: my budget, and I like open it, and then I
- 5:33Speaker 2: make a miggring and I keep the hot water in there.
- 5:35Speaker 2: It's not like keeps the hot water, but it's like soupy.
- 5:37Speaker 2: And then I dump the whole with all the juice,
- 5:40Speaker 2: the whole can of salmon into the migring and it
- 5:44Speaker 2: is so I promise you so good. It is so delicious.
- 5:49Speaker 2: And then maybe a fried egg on top. And I
- 5:51Speaker 2: know that all the combination of the salmon in a
- 5:54Speaker 2: can and the fried egg and the migring, it sounds gross,
- 5:56Speaker 2: but I promise you please try. It's delicious. It's really
- 6:00Speaker 2: really good. That's probably my go to home cooked meal.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I love that we both love a noodle. That's kind
- 6:05Speaker 1: of fun. True, all right, one that's kind of let's
- 6:08Speaker 1: say financi. It's not, but she's in the money. Related
- 6:10Speaker 1: is from Macy who said what are your job titles
- 6:13Speaker 1: or job roles? And she's on the money. I love
- 6:15Speaker 1: the mixing personality between you guys, which is so nice.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you Macy. I could do some because
- 6:21Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't know this true.
- 6:24Speaker 1: You don't actually work for shoes on the mone No,
- 6:26Speaker 1: I don't.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Isn't that wild? And also it's scary because I'm like, oh,
- 6:31Speaker 2: I guess you guys could be like, oh, don't come
- 6:34Speaker 2: in anymore, and I would never would never, you would never,
- 6:38Speaker 2: I would never.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Thank you so much, very important, very valuable.
- 6:41Speaker 2: But it is scary when you're like, I guess, like freelancing,
- 6:44Speaker 2: maybe it's what I'm I guess that's what I'm doing here.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I don't work for you guys, but I am usually
- 6:49Speaker 2: a video producer, and I'd say I'm going on like
- 6:52Speaker 2: three four months now of really not being able to
- 6:55Speaker 2: find a job, but just freelancing as a video producer.
- 6:58Speaker 2: So if anyone knows of any video editing, video producing,
- 7:02Speaker 2: social media whatever roles, even anything, yeah, that's kind of
- 7:06Speaker 2: what I do. I was working with iHeart and gold FM.
- 7:11Speaker 1: That's how you came into our stratosphere.
- 7:12Speaker 2: That's how we all met. And then yeah, just kind
- 7:16Speaker 2: of life goes on and things move around, we all remain.
- 7:20Speaker 2: We come here and meat and I think it's really beautiful.
- 7:23Speaker 2: And yourself.
- 7:24Speaker 1: My official title, I think is Content and Partnerships Manager. Yeah, okay,
- 7:28Speaker 1: manager Partnerships, which is not that exciting, but I do it.
- 7:33Speaker 2: So the next one from Rihanna, I really like this one.
- 7:35Speaker 2: What is your favorite weird flavor combo? Example, mango and
- 7:39Speaker 2: soy sauce, avo and veggimite.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Mango and soy sauce is a crazy one. I don't
- 7:44Speaker 1: think I've ever met anyone. I also have a crazy one. Okay,
- 7:47Speaker 1: this comes from my childhood. I would take a glass
- 7:50Speaker 1: of coke or now is enjoy. It would be a
- 7:52Speaker 1: glass of Persy Max some freshly pop popcorn, yes, popcorn
- 7:57Speaker 1: in the coke, just swizzling around this spoon, and then
- 8:01Speaker 1: you pull it out with the spoon and eat it
- 8:02Speaker 1: like cereal. And the crazy thing is, okay, I know
- 8:06Speaker 1: at least one other person in the world does this
- 8:08Speaker 1: because I learned this because one of my friends did
- 8:10Speaker 1: it as a kid.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Oh, so they're out there spreading the word.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'm going to grown adult, so it's
- 8:17Speaker 1: not something I do often, but every now and again
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'll do it and it is really yummy. It gets soft, Yeah,
- 8:23Speaker 1: it gets soggy.
- 8:24Speaker 2: You keep it in the coke.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Just quit. It's like a dunk like I throw it
- 8:27Speaker 1: in swizzle.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yeah, understood.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Cereal crazy Cereal texture basically wow. Okay.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Do you feel like you like it because you grew
- 8:36Speaker 2: up with it?
- 8:36Speaker 1: I think so. I think it's just like a like
- 8:39Speaker 1: it's salty. Yeah, I don't know. As I'm explaining it,
- 8:43Speaker 1: I fully acknowledge that it sounds absurd. That's the weirdest
- 8:47Speaker 1: one I've got.
- 8:48Speaker 2: I learned from a friend. But she makes a meso oat.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I would personally think that oats are like, you know,
- 8:55Speaker 2: you brown sugars, your milks, You're like, I know, I'm
- 8:59Speaker 2: thinking like a swim eat treat wreckfast. Yeah, But she
- 9:02Speaker 2: puts miso in her oats and has like boiled eggs
- 9:04Speaker 2: in it, and I think it's it's delicious. It's really
- 9:08Speaker 2: delicious and maybe like a some sort of green. Maybe
- 9:10Speaker 2: it's like a spinach. But like, break me if I'm wrong,
- 9:12Speaker 2: But spinach has changed in my lifetime. It used to
- 9:15Speaker 2: be like the big chunky stalks, but now it's like
- 9:20Speaker 2: spinach is little lee, little Lee's No, it used to
- 9:23Speaker 2: be big. Sure, I'm so sure, even like Popeye. Look
- 9:27Speaker 2: at Popeye, he's eaten spinach like that big green What
- 9:31Speaker 2: is that? How do I find it? And what's it called?
- 9:33Speaker 2: But anyway, definitely was not that before. And so I'm
- 9:37Speaker 2: thinking that big hearty green leafy spinach and miso oats
- 9:43Speaker 2: and a jammy boiled egg? Crazy?
- 9:47Speaker 1: Do you refer to a runny boiled egg as jammie?
- 9:50Speaker 3: Yes?
- 9:51Speaker 2: What's it called runny?
- 9:52Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that a queenslandthe No?
- 9:57Speaker 2: Maybe it is because my friend calls it Jamie and
- 9:59Speaker 2: she's Queensland. So there you go.
- 10:01Speaker 1: That's so interesting.
- 10:03Speaker 2: What do you call it? Runny?
- 10:04Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 10:04Speaker 1: A runny eggs? Oh my god? To people call it
- 10:07Speaker 1: a dippy egg. Dippy egg that's what Victoria calls it. Yeah,
- 10:10Speaker 1: dippy eg.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Oh my god's cute, very cute. Okay, out to you?
- 10:14Speaker 2: What do I call it? Well, I've really lost myself.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I think I called it a running egg. Usually, God,
- 10:19Speaker 2: I've been learning a.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Lot here today. Next time that I've got is from
- 10:24Speaker 1: Oh I'm so sorry. I'm gonna butcher your name, Nil Yak.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Maybe do you think that sounds right?
- 10:30Speaker 2: That sounds right, beautiful, perfect.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Who wants to know? What have we learned from each
- 10:34Speaker 1: other since we started working together?
- 10:35Speaker 2: Oh, that's beautiful.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Okay, it's a really cute question.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That is a really cute question. And obviously I've learned
- 10:42Speaker 2: from yourself and Victoria that I think that was just
- 10:45Speaker 2: so scared of money before I started, And I think
- 10:48Speaker 2: I was also scared of like maybe I would feel
- 10:52Speaker 2: as though my money story or my lack of money
- 10:55Speaker 2: would make me appear a certain way socially and societally.
- 11:00Speaker 2: But I've learned that it's not true that everyone has
- 11:03Speaker 2: this idea of money. It's like people who are super rich,
- 11:06Speaker 2: can you know, kind of see money in this way
- 11:09Speaker 2: that's like socially, we'll still all get along, basically, is
- 11:13Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say. And I think that's really
- 11:14Speaker 2: beautiful because us we came here together on this podcast.
- 11:19Speaker 2: It's like if we met out in the world, who knows.
- 11:23Speaker 2: But then we are like set sitting here, we're talking
- 11:25Speaker 2: to each other, and we're like, oh, we're all just
- 11:27Speaker 2: the same. And I think it's really beautiful. But obviously
- 11:29Speaker 2: you've taught me so much about money as well, and like,
- 11:31Speaker 2: but how the way I'm viewing it is maybe not
- 11:34Speaker 2: very sustainable and not gonna like serve me in the future.
- 11:37Speaker 2: So god, so many things I've learned from you, guys.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I feel like I've learned so much from you as well.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I think the biggest one is you have this wonderful
- 11:46Speaker 1: way of looking at things with such an open mind
- 11:49Speaker 1: and heart, do you know what I mean? Like you,
- 11:52Speaker 1: I feel like we both have this experience where being
- 11:55Speaker 1: on a podcast, I find it very anxiety inducing sometimes
- 12:00Speaker 1: because there's this and it's not from our community, but
- 12:03Speaker 1: there's this modern thing. I think I've seen people refer
- 12:06Speaker 1: to it as what about meism? Yeah, bean soup thing
- 12:09Speaker 1: is what they call it. On TikTok Whees, someone will
- 12:11Speaker 1: post a recipe for bean soup and someone will say, well,
- 12:14Speaker 1: I don't like beans, so what can I use instead?
- 12:16Speaker 1: And it's the idea that, like everything you're sharing must
- 12:20Speaker 1: appeal to every single person who could possibly ever listen
- 12:23Speaker 1: to it here at see it whatever totally, which is
- 12:26Speaker 1: extremely hard to do. But I think what you are
- 12:29Speaker 1: so good at is you are just naturally so inclusive,
- 12:33Speaker 1: do you mean, Like the easiest example I can think
- 12:36Speaker 1: of to give is like when we're talking about maybe
- 12:37Speaker 1: somebody's money deliver and they write in and I will
- 12:40Speaker 1: always look at things through my own lens of like, well,
- 12:44Speaker 1: I have a boyfriend and I live like this, and
- 12:46Speaker 1: this is jadata. Whereas you're so inclusive with your language,
- 12:49Speaker 1: you're so you look at things from so many perspectives
- 12:53Speaker 1: as well, like you so easily are very open minded,
- 12:57Speaker 1: and you go, well, you could be seeing this, you
- 12:59Speaker 1: could be experiencing this, and then you you tack that
- 13:01Speaker 1: onto the answers that you give. Whereas I feel like
- 13:06Speaker 1: I'm getting better, but it just doesn't come as naturally
- 13:08Speaker 1: to me. I feel like I'm always too selfish in
- 13:10Speaker 1: that way. And whereas you're so good at putting yourself
- 13:12Speaker 1: in somebody else's shoes and like their experience and their
- 13:15Speaker 1: thoughts and stuff.
- 13:16Speaker 2: That is so sweet. Thank you so much for saying that.
- 13:18Speaker 1: It's true.
- 13:19Speaker 2: God, you're really amazing at that too. I think that
- 13:22Speaker 2: like you're amazing at it, and you're a lot more
- 13:26Speaker 2: succinct or like the way you word things is because
- 13:29Speaker 2: I fear that I just ramble so much when I'm like, oh,
- 13:32Speaker 2: I haven't thought about this, and so I better, I
- 13:34Speaker 2: have better enter this real and I'm like, oh my
- 13:39Speaker 2: god's a quick way to do that. But you're so right,
- 13:41Speaker 2: and I think that I get really paranoid about like
- 13:43Speaker 2: if I was to say something that is probably objectively true,
- 13:46Speaker 2: like yeah, I think I've said this for like, eating
- 13:47Speaker 2: your own poo is kind of gross, but there might
- 13:50Speaker 2: be someone out there listening that's like I love eating
- 13:52Speaker 2: my own poo. That makes me feel really sad. And
- 13:55Speaker 2: then I'm like, I would be devastating to know that
- 13:57Speaker 2: I've made someone sad because I've said some in this
- 14:00Speaker 2: way that's like objective and so like black and white,
- 14:04Speaker 2: and I don't want to ever exclude anyone. Yeah, thank you,
- 14:07Speaker 2: that's really sweet. Oh my god, my one was boring
- 14:12Speaker 2: compared to yours, and so sorry. This one is from Liira,
- 14:15Speaker 2: who says why am I scared of changing my money
- 14:18Speaker 2: story when I know it could be so much healthier.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I'm sure there's probably psychology behind it, like there's safety
- 14:25Speaker 1: or comfort in what you know. Yeah, I think making
- 14:28Speaker 1: change is hard, especially I think money is such a
- 14:32Speaker 1: deeply personal thing and exactly as you were saying before.
- 14:35Speaker 1: A lot of us feel anxiety or shame or stigma
- 14:40Speaker 1: or all of these things around money because we are
- 14:44Speaker 1: all shown a traditional pathway to success. I think there's
- 14:49Speaker 1: like a very clear and it has changed a little
- 14:51Speaker 1: bit with time, but you know, go back to our
- 14:53Speaker 1: parents generation, it was okay, well, you go to university
- 14:56Speaker 1: and you get a good job, and you get married
- 14:57Speaker 1: and you have two kids, and you take a holiday
- 14:59Speaker 1: once a year and did it. And it was like
- 15:01Speaker 1: just a very clear linear path. And while that path
- 15:03Speaker 1: has opened up more, I think there are still very
- 15:07Speaker 1: traditional markers of success that people uphold as the gold
- 15:11Speaker 1: standard doing, like a good job or a good salary.
- 15:14Speaker 1: You can't see me, but I'm using talking marks. And
- 15:18Speaker 1: so I think that wanting to change your money story
- 15:22Speaker 1: is scary because you have to admit that you want
- 15:25Speaker 1: something more. You have to put yourself out there. Which
- 15:28Speaker 1: there's also this for me myself personally, there's this fear
- 15:32Speaker 1: of failure that I feel a lot of the time,
- 15:34Speaker 1: I feel like I'm behind, and so making a change
- 15:38Speaker 1: requires you to say I want more. And firstly, sometimes
- 15:42Speaker 1: people shame you for that, Like there's the tall poppy
- 15:44Speaker 1: syndrome is very much a real thing, and people say, well,
- 15:47Speaker 1: you should be happy with what you have for you
- 15:48Speaker 1: to do that, So there's you're fighting against that, but
- 15:51Speaker 1: also in saying you want more, you're putting yourself out there.
- 15:55Speaker 1: You run the risk of failing. Most people do fail,
- 15:57Speaker 1: or most people do fall off the horse. Most people
- 16:00Speaker 1: we will build up their savings and then have to
- 16:02Speaker 1: spend them or build up their investments and then get
- 16:05Speaker 1: nervous and pull it out. There are so many opportunities
- 16:09Speaker 1: to quote unquote fail that it's scary to put yourself
- 16:12Speaker 1: in that situation because we all are trying to uphold
- 16:16Speaker 1: this impossible standard that we see online on social media
- 16:20Speaker 1: or in the normal news and stuff, and it feels
- 16:25Speaker 1: like an overbearing weight sometimes. And I think all of
- 16:27Speaker 1: those things I'm straying really far from the original question,
- 16:30Speaker 1: but all of those things overlay over the top, so
- 16:32Speaker 1: that when you do try to make a change, be
- 16:34Speaker 1: it financial, be it something different, it can feel scary
- 16:39Speaker 1: and overwhelming because you go, well, I don't want to fail,
- 16:41Speaker 1: and I don't want people to laugh at me, and
- 16:43Speaker 1: oh my god, well what if I can't do it?
- 16:45Speaker 1: And all of this doubt from all of these pressure
- 16:48Speaker 1: creeps in. But I think if you break it down,
- 16:52Speaker 1: you know you want to change your money story incredible.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Everybody deserves better, everybody deserves more, Like we all are
- 16:59Speaker 1: entitled to live the best, most wonderful, most fulfilling life
- 17:01Speaker 1: that we can. Yeah, and I think wanting more, wanting
- 17:04Speaker 1: change is really positive. Break it down into small steps
- 17:08Speaker 1: so that it feels less overwhelming. That would be what
- 17:11Speaker 1: I would recommend.
- 17:12Speaker 2: I love that, I completely agree. It's also sometimes a
- 17:14Speaker 2: bit scary to be like how far does this go?
- 17:18Speaker 2: When you're like, I haven't even looked at my finances.
- 17:20Speaker 2: I don't know what the trajectory of my life looks
- 17:24Speaker 2: like financially. And then if you start kind of like
- 17:28Speaker 2: brushing off the dust of your financial story and your
- 17:32Speaker 2: finances right now, then you're like, how much is there
- 17:35Speaker 2: to uncover? How much is there to learn? How bad
- 17:38Speaker 2: of a position am I in that I maybe I
- 17:40Speaker 2: don't know yet, And it's just like a scary thing
- 17:43Speaker 2: to explore, but like, yeah, just exactly like one step
- 17:47Speaker 2: at a time, small little goals. And if you're not
- 17:51Speaker 2: interested in it, that's the other things. Sometimes you're not
- 17:53Speaker 2: like obsessed with something, so you just don't care. It's
- 17:55Speaker 2: like mental effort to like think about it. But if
- 17:58Speaker 2: you're not obsessed with it, that's okay. Just do the
- 18:00Speaker 2: little things you need to do to make sure you're
- 18:02Speaker 2: not gonna, I don't know, be in a really bad
- 18:05Speaker 2: financial position later. It doesn't have to be a whole world,
- 18:07Speaker 2: but yeah, just tackle things bit by bit.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Bit by bit, step by step. That's it, beautiful. Well,
- 18:13Speaker 1: we're gonna take a really quick break, but when we
- 18:15Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna be answering more of your burning
- 18:18Speaker 1: questions that don't go anywhere.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone. So this week's episode, if you're just
- 18:26Speaker 2: joining us, is a special edition of Q and A
- 18:28Speaker 2: with B and J. So we've been answering some of
- 18:30Speaker 2: your questions, some left of center, some a little bit
- 18:33Speaker 2: more financy. I guess we'll just jump straight back into it.
- 18:36Speaker 2: So the next one comes from Tina, who says, do
- 18:39Speaker 2: you have any advice for someone wanting to make money
- 18:41Speaker 2: online and move away from a nine to five?
- 18:45Speaker 1: My big one is don't fall into the trap. There
- 18:48Speaker 1: are so many people online who are selling you courses
- 18:52Speaker 1: who it's so easy to quit your nine to five
- 18:55Speaker 1: and da da da, I can do this, that and
- 18:56Speaker 1: the other. By my course, I'm not saying it's always
- 19:00Speaker 1: scam because there are some great online courses out there.
- 19:02Speaker 1: We sell some online courses which are fantastic. But I
- 19:06Speaker 1: think a lot of the people who you see online
- 19:08Speaker 1: jumping up and down saying, oh my god, I make
- 19:10Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars a month from selling things online. I'm
- 19:14Speaker 1: not disclosing either that that is correct because there's no
- 19:17Speaker 1: regulation around that, or I'm not disclosing that the bulk
- 19:21Speaker 1: of their money is coming from selling people these courses. Yeah, right,
- 19:24Speaker 1: And so I think it's very possible in this day
- 19:28Speaker 1: and age. You mean, like this podcast. I think about
- 19:29Speaker 1: the job that is employing us right now do not
- 19:32Speaker 1: exist howe many years ago. This is technically an online job,
- 19:34Speaker 1: right totally. So it's like, there are lots of things
- 19:37Speaker 1: that you can do and lots of revenue streams that
- 19:39Speaker 1: you can build. But I would just encourage everybody to
- 19:42Speaker 1: look at things with a healthy dose of skepticism because
- 19:45Speaker 1: there are some dodgy things out there. With that being said,
- 19:50Speaker 1: the great thing about making money online all of the
- 19:52Speaker 1: time is you don't need a lot of capital to
- 19:54Speaker 1: start it up. Whether you are becoming a social media
- 19:57Speaker 1: creator or a video editor or a podcaster. A lot
- 20:01Speaker 1: of these things you can start with the resources you have.
- 20:04Speaker 1: You can start with your phone and your laptop and
- 20:06Speaker 1: that's all you need. And then as you build some
- 20:08Speaker 1: momentum or build some clientele or whatever that looks like,
- 20:12Speaker 1: you can then start to invest back into the things
- 20:13Speaker 1: that you're using. But I think, like when you're dabbling,
- 20:16Speaker 1: I would say just don't necessarily go hell to leather either,
- 20:20Speaker 1: Like don't go, oh my god, I'm going to start
- 20:21Speaker 1: a podcast, so I'm going to buy the three thousand
- 20:24Speaker 1: dollar microphones and the ten thousand dollar camera and all
- 20:26Speaker 1: of these things start small.
- 20:28Speaker 3: For sure.
- 20:29Speaker 1: We're a ween dabble as well. Like there's lots that
- 20:31Speaker 1: you know, you can sell things on Etsy. You can.
- 20:34Speaker 1: There's this one girl I remember I followed her for years.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I think her name is Type Hailey, and I think
- 20:39Speaker 1: she still does it. But back in the day, she
- 20:40Speaker 1: got started because she would make video graphics and intros
- 20:44Speaker 1: for people's YouTube videos, and so a lot of the
- 20:47Speaker 1: big creators that I followed at the time would use her,
- 20:50Speaker 1: and then she sells. Now I believe she sells just
- 20:53Speaker 1: like everyday graphics that anybody can jump on our website
- 20:56Speaker 1: and purchase or you can do custom ones. That's like
- 20:59Speaker 1: that girl saw a gap in the market for her
- 21:00Speaker 1: skill set and it wouldn't have taken a lot of capital.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Like she probably already had the laptop or the iPad
- 21:07Speaker 1: or whatever she uses to animate and she just went, oh, like,
- 21:10Speaker 1: this is a good thing, and she's worked away at it,
- 21:12Speaker 1: worked with some big creators. Yeah, got her namy out
- 21:14Speaker 1: in front of the masses. So I think there's lots
- 21:17Speaker 1: you can do. But find something you're passionate about as well,
- 21:19Speaker 1: because she was I believe maybe a graphic designer or
- 21:22Speaker 1: something like that, and then made that work for her
- 21:25Speaker 1: in the digital world, which is incredible. Yeah, speak about
- 21:28Speaker 1: what you enjoy it as well, exactly.
- 21:30Speaker 2: And in the interim, just like, honestly, I know it's
- 21:33Speaker 2: they're quite rare to find, but like something that you're
- 21:35Speaker 2: already doing. But jump on LinkedIn and keep refreshing that
- 21:40Speaker 2: remote work section and just like try and find something
- 21:43Speaker 2: that's remote in the interim if you want to, because
- 21:45Speaker 2: there's I'm shocked by how many jobs that are out
- 21:48Speaker 2: there that are able to be remote, So I'm like,
- 21:51Speaker 2: just do that for a song as.
- 21:53Speaker 1: You can, and remember as well. I think there's this
- 21:55Speaker 1: misconception that when you leave you're nine to five, you're
- 21:58Speaker 1: living like this cruizy, beautif good life. I think most
- 22:01Speaker 1: people who freelance or work for themselves will tell you
- 22:04Speaker 1: that it's the opposite. You know, there are some people
- 22:07Speaker 1: who get to a point where they can retire early
- 22:09Speaker 1: off of the business that they've built, and that's incredible,
- 22:11Speaker 1: and then maybe they do live that balanced lifestyle, but
- 22:14Speaker 1: a lot of the time when you're doing that kind
- 22:15Speaker 1: of work invoices come late is such a big one.
- 22:19Speaker 1: So like, prepare yourself mentally and financially for the fact
- 22:22Speaker 1: that your income is not going to be regular, especially
- 22:25Speaker 1: if you're doing something like content creation where you're relying
- 22:28Speaker 1: on you know, brands or AdSense or whatever that looks
- 22:30Speaker 1: like ye. And also just you're working for yourself, so
- 22:33Speaker 1: you don't have boundaries that you have in a regular job,
- 22:36Speaker 1: Like it's very easy for it to bleed into other
- 22:39Speaker 1: areas of your life. And if especially if you're like
- 22:41Speaker 1: me and you do something on the side of a
- 22:43Speaker 1: full time job, it's a lot to take on. So
- 22:47Speaker 1: also just prepare yourself for that, because I think there's
- 22:50Speaker 1: we're sold this dream of everybody's quitting their nine to
- 22:52Speaker 1: five to become a content creator or build a business
- 22:55Speaker 1: or do whatever. And you can do it and can
- 22:57Speaker 1: be amazing and it can be really profitable. Yeah, but
- 23:00Speaker 1: it's also not this easy pipeline that people make it
- 23:03Speaker 1: out to be.
- 23:04Speaker 2: From Charlotte, this one's for you, Jess. How are you
- 23:07Speaker 2: managing to keep costs down with the build? Any tips?
- 23:11Speaker 1: Well, if you've watched my YouTube video where I break
- 23:14Speaker 1: down all the expenses that I've paid so far, I'm
- 23:17Speaker 1: not necessarily doing a very good job giving the expenses down.
- 23:20Speaker 1: I spend a lot of money at my color appointment
- 23:23Speaker 1: and my electrical appointment. But my big plan is that
- 23:26Speaker 1: I have kind of a roadmap of things that I
- 23:28Speaker 1: want to do once the build is completed. So I'm
- 23:31Speaker 1: trying to keep costs down initially by spacing things out
- 23:34Speaker 1: where I can, and I'm also looking at what things
- 23:37Speaker 1: I can do myself versus paying someone to them. So
- 23:41Speaker 1: I know that I'm hoping to install my own sheer
- 23:45Speaker 1: curtains and stuff because I've seen people do it online.
- 23:48Speaker 1: It looks pretty easy to install your own tracks and
- 23:50Speaker 1: hang it yourself, and planning on putting in my own laundry.
- 23:55Speaker 1: We covered a few of these in an episode that
- 23:56Speaker 1: dropped recently where we spoke kind of about my house
- 23:59Speaker 1: build update. I'm looking at what things I can do myself.
- 24:02Speaker 1: I would consider myself pretty DIY savvy, so any DIY
- 24:06Speaker 1: options that are available to me, I am taking those.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Also for furniture and stuff like that. I think I've
- 24:13Speaker 1: mentioned like I haven't bought new furniture since I moved
- 24:17Speaker 1: out of home, Like almost everything I own his secondhand
- 24:19Speaker 1: because I was moving it from house to house. And
- 24:21Speaker 1: so I'm really looking for sales or purchasing things that
- 24:24Speaker 1: I want from warehouse sales or outlets or anything like
- 24:29Speaker 1: that to try and keep my costs down as well.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Like I've been able to snag a few things that
- 24:33Speaker 1: are on my wish list for really good prices by
- 24:35Speaker 1: shopping in this way. But it is just being savvy
- 24:38Speaker 1: and also just knowing I can't, like I'm not going
- 24:40Speaker 1: to be able to buy everything that I want at once,
- 24:42Speaker 1: Like it's just simply not possible, even things like appliances,
- 24:46Speaker 1: Like I'm just going to have to move in my
- 24:48Speaker 1: fridge that is literally as old as I am into
- 24:50Speaker 1: the new house, and it's not going to fit, and
- 24:52Speaker 1: it's going to be ugly, and it is what it is,
- 24:54Speaker 1: and I'll just have to save and work hard to
- 24:57Speaker 1: eventually be able to upgrade those things when I'm in
- 24:59Speaker 1: the pres.
- 25:00Speaker 2: So yeah, hell yeah, all right.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Next question I have is from Nundiny, who said, if
- 25:05Speaker 1: you guys could host any podcast for one week, which
- 25:08Speaker 1: would you pick? Which is a fun question?
- 25:10Speaker 2: I like this, I like this, I like this. Well,
- 25:12Speaker 2: some of my favorites are like Betrayal or obviously other
- 25:15Speaker 2: than She's on the Money Betrayal pod, everyone has an X.
- 25:18Speaker 2: But the one that I think would be like really
- 25:20Speaker 2: fun science versus one, Oh my god, you would love it.
- 25:25Speaker 2: I think they just kind of like take any old subject.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Let's say, you know, skincare or meditation, and it's like
- 25:32Speaker 2: the main host, Wendy's looking in, we'll go and ask
- 25:35Speaker 2: experts in that field, unpack experiments, and you know, just
- 25:38Speaker 2: kind of like get down to the like science of
- 25:40Speaker 2: it all in a way that is really palatable. But
- 25:43Speaker 2: it just like sounds really fun. Sounds like the team
- 25:45Speaker 2: are really fun. So that is probably a podcast that
- 25:48Speaker 2: I would love to host just for one week and
- 25:50Speaker 2: then come straight back.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, so I
- 25:59Speaker 1: found this question hard. I would love to do an
- 26:03Speaker 1: interview format podcast because I think working here, that's one
- 26:05Speaker 1: thing I've learned. Is any chance that I have had
- 26:08Speaker 1: to sit down with someone like I sat down last
- 26:10Speaker 1: year with Emma Edwards, like when Victoria was on maternity leave,
- 26:14Speaker 1: the first time you know you and I had a
- 26:15Speaker 1: few guest hosts for Friday Drinks. I've always really really
- 26:20Speaker 1: enjoyed speaking to other people and getting to like pull
- 26:24Speaker 1: apart their expertise, like I just find it so interesting.
- 26:28Speaker 1: The only interview podcast that I can think of is
- 26:30Speaker 1: Diary of a CEO, which I have literally only ever
- 26:33Speaker 1: listened to one of those episodes. I don't know why
- 26:35Speaker 1: that's the first one I got, but he's had some
- 26:37Speaker 1: really good guests. Yes, so any guest podcast, because I
- 26:41Speaker 1: love learning things, maybe even at science when you taught you,
- 26:44Speaker 1: it would be good for me, Like I love learning things,
- 26:46Speaker 1: and I love asking people questions and getting to understand
- 26:51Speaker 1: their thought process or their knowledge a little bit better.
- 26:54Speaker 1: So any podcast where I would have the opportunity to
- 26:56Speaker 1: do that. I feel like I would really enjoy The
- 26:59Speaker 1: sext one comes from.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Who says, how do you price items on deep Pop
- 27:03Speaker 2: in brackets item plus postage? I lost money after deepop
- 27:07Speaker 2: took their fee.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Oh have you ever sold on deepop before?
- 27:10Speaker 2: No, I haven't sold on Deepop. I've bored on deepop,
- 27:13Speaker 2: but I don't really know how it all works, So
- 27:15Speaker 2: probably one for you.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Yeah. I My understanding is that so detop chi is
- 27:20Speaker 1: a ten percent commission I believe on everything, and I
- 27:22Speaker 1: believe that also comes off the top of your postage fee,
- 27:25Speaker 1: because I think what happens, at least the way I
- 27:27Speaker 1: see it roll into my PayPal is deepop pays me
- 27:29Speaker 1: a blanket fee of like X amount, and then PayPal
- 27:33Speaker 1: pays a flat fee back. And from when I've looked
- 27:36Speaker 1: at it, that flat ten percent comes off everything, which
- 27:39Speaker 1: includes the postage. It's really frustrating. So you do need
- 27:42Speaker 1: to look at either building a bit more into your
- 27:45Speaker 1: postage fee or into your item fee to cover that
- 27:48Speaker 1: ten percent that will come out.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Ten percent is seems exorbitant.
- 27:52Speaker 1: No, yeah, it feels like deep hop in the UK.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's only like two or three percent.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of conversation recently about how like
- 28:00Speaker 1: Deep Hop fees here are much higher than other places,
- 28:03Speaker 1: which fun fact for everybody. eBay are offering fee free
- 28:07Speaker 1: sales for a period of time, so that might be
- 28:10Speaker 1: worth looking into. That's something I'm looking into. But in
- 28:13Speaker 1: terms of pricing your product, I personally think if you're
- 28:17Speaker 1: going to sell something secondhand anywhere, you need to be
- 28:20Speaker 1: selling it for cheaper than what someone could get it
- 28:22Speaker 1: from for on the website. And I think most websites
- 28:25Speaker 1: offer a minimum of thirty percent discount, you mean with
- 28:28Speaker 1: a code or whatever these days most places true, so
- 28:31Speaker 1: I think you can be just counting an item by
- 28:32Speaker 1: forty percent or more. My general rule of thumb is
- 28:35Speaker 1: a minimum of half price, okay, depending if the item
- 28:39Speaker 1: is new with tags or how warn it is, is
- 28:42Speaker 1: it like whatever, But I would be pricing it for
- 28:45Speaker 1: me personally, generally a minimum of half of the retail price,
- 28:50Speaker 1: sometimes more if it's worn or if it's an older style.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Take all those things into consideration. The other thing I
- 28:56Speaker 1: would do is sense check what are other people charging
- 28:59Speaker 1: for the same items, So if it's a blue glassons
- 29:02Speaker 1: jumper or a dish white dress or whatever that looks like,
- 29:06Speaker 1: searching it up on the platform and just seeing because
- 29:08Speaker 1: there's a very good chance that other people are selling
- 29:10Speaker 1: the same thing or something very similar, and just sense
- 29:12Speaker 1: checking your pricing against those as well, because if it
- 29:15Speaker 1: comes down to two similar items, realistically, any person myself included,
- 29:20Speaker 1: is going to pick the cheaper one. Yeah, if your
- 29:23Speaker 1: discount still sets you significantly higher than the average of
- 29:26Speaker 1: what everybody else is charging, you're probably not gonna sell it.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, it's a really good point.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Question I've got now is from Karna who said, I've
- 29:35Speaker 1: seen your instant stories, Beck, what are you building?
- 29:38Speaker 2: Ah? To be honest, I'm not building anything. But my
- 29:41Speaker 2: best friend who owns a queper in North Fitzroy, Fitzroy
- 29:44Speaker 2: North Bernie's upstairs is where she lives, which is very funny.
- 29:49Speaker 2: I think if you're like because I'll often go over
- 29:52Speaker 2: to just like hang out and the bar is open.
- 29:54Speaker 2: I'm laying upstairs, I gotta go downstairs to go to
- 29:57Speaker 2: the toilet. It just feels like I'm like at a
- 29:58Speaker 2: house party that I've left to go to bed, and
- 30:01Speaker 2: then I come downstairs. I'm like, please, no one talk
- 30:02Speaker 2: to me. I just so it's a very funny vibe.
- 30:06Speaker 2: So she lives upstairs and there's one big room and
- 30:09Speaker 2: two like kind of medium ish small rooms, and so
- 30:12Speaker 2: one of those rooms she just wants to turn that
- 30:14Speaker 2: into like I don't know, maybe like a gallery space
- 30:17Speaker 2: for people to show things, yeah, or like somewhere where
- 30:20Speaker 2: people can do like life drawings. I mean, she's not
- 30:23Speaker 2: just super sure what to do with the space yet,
- 30:25Speaker 2: but right now we're just like, yeah, kind of tiding
- 30:27Speaker 2: it up because it is it's in a very space,
- 30:30Speaker 2: I guess, so like I wanted to put a pool
- 30:32Speaker 2: table in some for people to like have a little
- 30:34Speaker 2: lie down, but we'll see. So right now we're just
- 30:37Speaker 2: like tiding it up. So unfortunately, I personally not building anything.
- 30:40Speaker 2: I'm just painting some walls, which is a lot of fun.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Coming covered in paint today.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I'm really trying to milk it. I'm really
- 30:47Speaker 2: trying to milk it. I'm making sure I don't wash anything.
- 30:50Speaker 2: I just love the look of having like paint splatters
- 30:53Speaker 2: or it's artistic. It's like, oh, this person's worked hard
- 30:56Speaker 2: a day in their life. I'm gonna make sure everyone
- 30:59Speaker 2: knows that as well, but yes, thank you for following along, Trina,
- 31:02Speaker 2: and please come in and visit.
- 31:04Speaker 1: That's so cute. Next time I've got is from miss Sharish,
- 31:08Speaker 1: who said, what are y'all's mayers Briggs personality types? Just fun?
- 31:12Speaker 2: Have you done the test? I haven't done the test. No,
- 31:15Speaker 2: I did a similar one. I don't remember anything though, perfect,
- 31:19Speaker 2: but I know that, Okay, this is probably different test.
- 31:21Speaker 2: But the lowest on my list of things like qualities
- 31:24Speaker 2: that I have is impulse control.
- 31:27Speaker 1: Impulse control.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Yeah, my lowest quality, my least quality, you guys get
- 31:33Speaker 2: it is impulse control, which really tracks, tracked, which really felt,
- 31:38Speaker 2: I really felt seen. I can't remember what my highest was.
- 31:41Speaker 2: I think it was like compassion or something like that.
- 31:43Speaker 1: I'm so curious to know what test this was now,
- 31:45Speaker 1: because I didn't think I've heard of that one.
- 31:47Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was, but I hope that
- 31:49Speaker 2: answers that a little bit for me. But do you
- 31:51Speaker 2: have your.
- 31:52Speaker 1: I do know my mayers Briggs. I am an I
- 31:55Speaker 1: n s J. I'm pretty sure which is introverted. I
- 32:00Speaker 1: don't remember what the ND stands for feeling judging, so
- 32:05Speaker 1: I think I nfja's from memory it tracked with what
- 32:09Speaker 1: I know about my staffs okay, which I'm not super
- 32:11Speaker 1: into star signs, but it was like compassionate, empathetic knowledge seeking.
- 32:16Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I just heard introvert and I was like, well,
- 32:19Speaker 1: she's read me to feel So you know, I NFJ
- 32:24Speaker 1: this site. I'll send you the site because there's a
- 32:26Speaker 1: free one you can do.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Okay.
- 32:28Speaker 1: It's fun because it tells you celebrities that fall into
- 32:31Speaker 1: the same personality type. And I don't know, I know
- 32:33Speaker 1: that these things are not scientific or deeply rooted in anything,
- 32:38Speaker 1: but they're just to be fun. It's I love when
- 32:41Speaker 1: something like even on the podcast a few weeks ago,
- 32:43Speaker 1: where you were like you look like someone who loves
- 32:44Speaker 1: the potato chip. Like, I just love anything that puts
- 32:47Speaker 1: me in a box.
- 32:49Speaker 2: You know, we just want to beat a little bar
- 32:51Speaker 2: a box that's so cute, so funny. Oh my god. Okay,
- 32:59Speaker 2: I'll give you the final question, which is like, oh,
- 33:03Speaker 2: so sad, I really love these I We've.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Brushed through it. We should have taken longer.
- 33:07Speaker 2: God, I know, I wish let's do another one soon.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Let us know if you want to B and JQ
- 33:11Speaker 1: and know to make a comeback please.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Okay. For our final question, someone asks what is your
- 33:15Speaker 2: most uplifting thought slash saying that makes you feel good?
- 33:20Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great question.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a great question. So beautiful and what
- 33:25Speaker 2: a beautiful when it ended.
- 33:26Speaker 1: I do love a quote. I'm one of those bitches
- 33:29Speaker 1: like I love a print on a water like, there's
- 33:32Speaker 1: so many that I like. One that really sticks with
- 33:34Speaker 1: me that brings me joy, which I think is what
- 33:35Speaker 1: this person was saying. Was from Cinderella, from the update,
- 33:39Speaker 1: but from the live action, which took me don't like
- 33:41Speaker 1: a live action, but I did really enjoy Cinderella. And
- 33:44Speaker 1: have courage and be kind, yes, and I just like,
- 33:47Speaker 1: I think those are two things that are just so
- 33:49Speaker 1: important and it's it just makes me happy. Have courage
- 33:53Speaker 1: and be kind, like be brave, do the thing, but
- 33:56Speaker 1: also be gentle as well with people. I think the
- 34:00Speaker 1: other one that I can think of, which isn't a phrase,
- 34:02Speaker 1: so I don't know if it counts a word, it's uhuru,
- 34:05Speaker 1: which means I think freedom in Swahili, and that just
- 34:09Speaker 1: has a lot of meaning to me because the first
- 34:11Speaker 1: time I ever went overseas. I've told this story before,
- 34:13Speaker 1: so from repeating myself. I went to Tanzania, which was
- 34:16Speaker 1: like the most eye opening, life changing, wonderful experience I've
- 34:19Speaker 1: ever had. But while we were there, we climbed Mount
- 34:21Speaker 1: Kilmajaro and that for me was a personally very testing experience.
- 34:27Speaker 1: But the peak is called Uhua Peak, and so I
- 34:30Speaker 1: had this awful expirit. I got aultshoutic on like day
- 34:33Speaker 1: two four days up, two days down. I was sick
- 34:35Speaker 1: for three days, didn't he couldn't keep down any liquid,
- 34:37Speaker 1: was not sleeping. It was horrific. And so you hike.
- 34:40Speaker 1: We hiked through the night in the snow. God every
- 34:42Speaker 1: few meters I was falling, boy knees, puking in the ground,
- 34:45Speaker 1: kind of wanting to just say there. And someone's like, well,
- 34:47Speaker 1: you gotta keep moving or you're gonna die because it's snowing.
- 34:50Speaker 1: So we did this whole thing right, and we got
- 34:51Speaker 1: to a point which when you reach there, you have
- 34:54Speaker 1: technically summited the mountain. And so the guy that was
- 34:57Speaker 1: taken to like, okay, everybody, good job, take your photo whatever.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Anyone who wants to continue to the peak can do so.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Come this way. Everyone who wants to start walking back
- 35:05Speaker 1: down to the right, and I was like, to the
- 35:08Speaker 1: right I go. And someone on my trip was said
- 35:11Speaker 1: to me, did you really just go through all of
- 35:13Speaker 1: that to not go to the top?
- 35:15Speaker 2: Oh my god?
- 35:16Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god. And so we
- 35:20Speaker 1: checked another however many hours to hit to a peak.
- 35:23Speaker 1: And for me that was just like very much a
- 35:25Speaker 1: physical and mental test of strength. I guess I was
- 35:30Speaker 1: ready to quit until that guy said said that to me,
- 35:33Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, you're so right.
- 35:34Speaker 1: And so to me just means it brings back that
- 35:38Speaker 1: memory of like pushing through and doing hard things and
- 35:42Speaker 1: like breaking the mental barrier because I think I'm someone
- 35:44Speaker 1: who really struggles with my own mental limitations and self
- 35:49Speaker 1: doubt and all those sorts of things, and like knowing
- 35:51Speaker 1: that I did this physically and also mentally, very very
- 35:55Speaker 1: difficult thing, I did it. I did it. And that
- 35:58Speaker 1: is like such a wonderful memory that I have with
- 36:00Speaker 1: me for the rest of my life. And so the
- 36:03Speaker 1: word like, I love that it means freedom as well.
- 36:05Speaker 1: It's really beautiful. But yeah, to me, that word just
- 36:07Speaker 1: takes me back to that moment in that thought process.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, that is a harrowing story.
- 36:16Speaker 1: It was not fun to live, but like as in
- 36:18Speaker 1: hindsight as a life lesson, it's loving.
- 36:20Speaker 2: Just that's incredible. Oh my god, do you do you quote?
- 36:24Speaker 1: Sure?
- 36:26Speaker 2: Obviously as you know, I'm and for those listening, I'm
- 36:28Speaker 2: going I'm through a breakup right now. So a few
- 36:31Speaker 2: quotes and I don't want to like be that guy,
- 36:34Speaker 2: but there there are a lot of my own that
- 36:38Speaker 2: I like, uh, kind of just made up, but they
- 36:41Speaker 2: really have gotten me through and helped get me through.
- 36:43Speaker 2: But I think that they also are applicable in times
- 36:46Speaker 2: we are not going through a breakup. But the one
- 36:49Speaker 2: that I like to use that is or obviously quite
- 36:53Speaker 2: a privileged thing to say because it doesn't apply to everyone,
- 36:56Speaker 2: But I like to say, being okay is inevitable even
- 37:00Speaker 2: if you're trying to actively not heal, even if you're
- 37:03Speaker 2: just doing nothing to like toward healing, Like your body
- 37:08Speaker 2: is constantly adapting to a new normal and constantly healing,
- 37:12Speaker 2: even if you're not doing anything to help yourself get there.
- 37:16Speaker 2: So being okay is inevitable. And then I also like,
- 37:19Speaker 2: this isn't for me, it's from somewhere some meditation something,
- 37:22Speaker 2: but I really like be where you are, and I
- 37:25Speaker 2: tell myself that all the time, because if I'm really
- 37:27Speaker 2: anxious about something, if I'm thinking about something I said
- 37:30Speaker 2: in the past it was really silly, or I'm thinking
- 37:32Speaker 2: about possible things in the future that are making me
- 37:34Speaker 2: really sick and sad and anxious, I'm just I tell
- 37:37Speaker 2: myself to be exactly where I am, and that is
- 37:40Speaker 2: right here, there's a I'm sitting on a couch and
- 37:43Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, and I'm going to be exactly
- 37:46Speaker 2: where I am. That also is applicable for if you're
- 37:49Speaker 2: sad that you've made the wrong life choices and you're like, oh,
- 37:53Speaker 2: I don't you know you're thinking about what could have been,
- 37:55Speaker 2: or you're thinking about what you want to do. Just
- 37:57Speaker 2: know that, like we're kind of always if you're not
- 38:00Speaker 2: ready to make a decision, you haven't made it yet.
- 38:03Speaker 2: Like if you're like, oh, I wish I had started
- 38:05Speaker 2: this ages ago, I wish I had like already saved
- 38:08Speaker 2: this amount of money, Like if you just weren't ready
- 38:10Speaker 2: at that time, just be exactly where you are because
- 38:12Speaker 2: you are here for a reason. You're you can't have
- 38:15Speaker 2: lived a different life, you can't have a different brain.
- 38:18Speaker 2: Be exactly where you are and because that's exactly where
- 38:21Speaker 2: you should be.
- 38:21Speaker 1: You have the best bechisms, Like there's so many things
- 38:24Speaker 1: like that that you say that are just so quotable
- 38:26Speaker 1: and so lovely. That's so nice. Thank you, really beautiful take.
- 38:31Speaker 2: That's a beautiful way to end it.
