  Speaker 4: the realization the other day.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: I started making videos when I was like fifteen, like
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: maybe even a little bit younger. So that means I've
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: been making videos for eighteen years from more than.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Half your life. You've been away into.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: That literally, but like eighteen years, like your first video
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: could buy a drink now. Yeah, I can't even get
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: to my first video though, because I'm logged into like
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: my old YouTube channel. But then I had one before
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: that in high school and I cannot, for the life
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: of me remember or like get into it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Yea, we don't even know the email, no, and you would.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Log into YouTube back then through a user name, do
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like, yeah, times have changed anyway,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I've been doing it for a long time.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Do you remember what your first video was?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's just me probably just going hi everyone.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Like real nervous.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: You know who came up on my TikTok the other
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: day for like their twentieth anniversary or something.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: He guys, it's.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Cold, like she's still going on TikTok.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: He was like seeing an old friend honestly, and so
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: she was like and too because like her thing that
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: went viral was her singing a song. Yeah, and so
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: to celebrate that birthday, she sang the song again in
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the video so that you should do that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: My video was like, Hi, everyone recreated that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeeah, I love that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: We'll find a f one.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Then finally, I know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I used to do like kesh up music videos.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: We would do those.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: They're like chop it all up.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: It was like a bad blood and just like get
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: like Matt to be in it and have like cameos
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: of all your friends to basically what else fishing.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah you're in thank you?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely so. Yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So you started your YouTube content creation career eighteen years ago,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and I think nowadays we're a little bit more used
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to the idea of people being content creators, right, Like
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of people go viral on TikTok, and they're
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: not necessarily influencers or content creators. They're just you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: post a video and then you can go viral and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: make it a career a lot quicker.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But back then it was very much a new concept.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Actually it was fresh, Like the idea of it becoming
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: your job wasn't even a concept, whereas now like we
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: have phones and we can use them to create jobs.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Would you get a lot of criticism from people that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you knew, like people that you went too so just
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like what you're.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Doing, like you're weird, you know, because it wasn't a thing,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: whereas in you know, twenty twenty six, if you're like
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I'm going to start on TikTok, it's like okay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, like line, does it quite Champion?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure people still get shit because people are
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: just fucking mean, but like it's a little bit or
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a lot of bit more champion now.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: And it was just this random thing and I just
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: found a liking for, you know, just talking in front
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: of the camera, even though it was just weird. But
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I've always said, like, I'm so glad that my journey
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: started out that way because you know, the eighteen years
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: has been so organic, and I never sat out being
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: like I want lots of followers and I want to
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: be famous, whereas it was just I've been doing it
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: for fun and here I am.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Do you have like a specific mantra if you will
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: or life lesson that you kind of keep front of
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: mind to not fall into a fear of pursuing new
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: things or like a fear of failure because you've pursued
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: so many different things in life, and how do you
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: kind of just go, like fuck it, the audacity.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: To just keep going.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good question.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Someone actually commented on my TikTok yesterday. I just did
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: a little series yesterday talking about how when I was
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: in my early twenties, I released song and it went
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: really badly or really badly, and someone commented and said,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: you have had such a diverse life, and I was like,
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: I really have, because I've done so much.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: But how do I just keep going?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I really think it's just a matter of like something
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: that you learn over time. You know, when it comes
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: to taking risks and trying something new and putting yourself
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: out there, it's.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Often like doing it for the first time that's the
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: most scary.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: And then you take a risk and try that thing,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: or you know, quit your job or like reach out
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: to someone and say, hey, I want to make a
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: connection with you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: And my whole career has quite literally been.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Me trying one thing after another, and then the more
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: you try those things, the more comfortable and confident that
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: you get, and you realize like I don't know, like
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: you get weird self confidence, and then you just fully
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: back yourself. And obviously now I've been doing this for
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: so long, been putting myself out there on the internet
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: for literally more than half of my life.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: So now it's just like I'll give anything a go.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like failure even a real thing to you anymore,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Like would you ever look at something like if you've
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: done something and you think that that could even be
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a classification for anything, being like we tried this thing,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Oh that failed.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't classify anything as a failure. I would
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: just see it as.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Like giving something you go and it like didn't work out,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: but then you just move on to the next thing.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Like you know, because I saw a TikTok the other
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: day and it was like we have unlimited chances in life,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and same goes for you know, social media and posting content.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Like it's not like you post one TikTok and if
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: it doesn't do well, then oh there goes you one chance,
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Like you just post again and again and I think
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: the same in life, like we have unlimited chances.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the thing, is like, what were they saying,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: like alex l was posting every day for like three
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: years before she blew up.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Exactly, we have unlimited chances, people like, It's not just
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: you try one thing once and that's it and then
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: all it didn't work out. So there it goes like,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: just take another chance.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: That's such a good way to reframe it as well,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and take some of that fear out of you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: something that may not that may not turn out exactly
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: as you planned. But while you have had a lot
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of different side quests and done lots of different things
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and tried and tested lots of different things, you're also
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: incredibly successful.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: And a lot of things have gone right along the way.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Do you have any habits in your everyday routine that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you think are the key to your success.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, I think I'm probably the least habit person.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Like I don't wake up and have like a routine,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: and you know, I've got a calendar obviously that has
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: like meetings in it, and that tells who I'm doing
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: in my day. But I think one of my biggest
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: strengths is just having the willingness to get in and
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: do anything, no matter what it is. I think that's
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: just been it, like not afraid to get my hands dirty,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: not afraid to put in the groundwork. I think a
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: lot of people want success in twenty twenty six, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: social media can make it look.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Like success is really easy to achieve.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: But I think also people don't want to put in
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: like the groundwork of what it means, because to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: successful you have to work fucking harder than you ever
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: have before in your life. It's not like I just
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: want to do like a whole lot of nothing and
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: like earn heaps of money.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Like you've got to put in the groundwork.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: So I would say, like the reason why I've been
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: able to achieve everything that I have and get to
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: where I am is because I've been willing to work
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: my absolute butt off.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel like Kim Kardashian when she said
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: nobody wants to.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Work these days or whatever the but I give your
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: sucking ass up and work.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: But it's just like the willingness to you know, do
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: the groundwork and like put in the hours and you
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: know try. Yeah, I would say it's been like my
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: biggest differentiator.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I do also like the idea of like the audacity
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to just try, and a lot of women don't feel
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: that because I think the fear of the failure and
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: like valid been there is so present of being like
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: what are people going to say?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: What?
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: It's the fear of judgment from others, Like that's the
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: number one thing that holds people back.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: How have you managed you know a lot of people
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: having opinions on your work or like you know, when
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you first started out on YouTube even now, like you
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: get commentary on how you run.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Your business and things your business.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Does, and you know, how do you kind of embrace
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: audacity and being like I'm just going.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: To fucking get it done.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I think it's just quite as simple as having the
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: right mindset. I feel like it sounds so stereotypical, but
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: it's quit quit. It's quite literally just at the end
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: of the day, not caring what other people think.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: And I know that's like easiest said than if there
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: was a step point steps.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Literally have you always been like that?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Have you always had that mindset or is it something
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that you've grown into.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: But again, it's like from a young age, like I
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: was really independent, like I moved out of home when
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I was a teenager.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Kind of figured life out really young. And then yeah, I.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Think it was honestly putting myself out there on social
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: media and growing throughout like my teenage years and into
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: my early twenties, and yeah, receiving like criticism online, it
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: builds a resilience in you. And again, you gain confidence
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: the more that you throw yourself out there.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: So now I'm at the point.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Where, like when it comes to like people commenting on
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: social media, like fair enough if you know I've done
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: something terribly wrong and people want to call me out
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: for it, like, hey you did that. If it's people
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: just like commenting on my day to day life, or
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: you know, people that just comment shit on TikTok, like
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I just laugh, like and again, I just keep going
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: on with my life. The Internet is a weird place.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I was talking to Matt on our podcast the other week,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: and we were talking about how we like the stuff
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: that we see, like when we were never supposed to
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: see all the stuff that we see right now. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: we were talking about like even just thinking back to
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: our parents' generation, for example, like they would be in
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: their homes like think before social media, they'd be in
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: their homes, they would go and visit their friends, they
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: would watch the TV and see TV shows. But that's
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: like it in terms of what they would see, Like
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: they wouldn't see into everyone's lives the way that we do.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: And I would be so interested to know like the
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: impact that how accessible everything is to us, how that
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: has affected like our mental health and our mind.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: I think that plays into the fear of failure, is
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: because like we've.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Got so much failure, it will be plasted as well.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I think that's also like the failure is broadcasted if
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: you you know, if you.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: Try its, people know about you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: But back in the day there was none of that.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't see someone's business maybe failing quote unquote because
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: like or you just.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Hear about it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And also like you wouldn't then be opening yourself up
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to people other people's opinions in literally like an open
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: forum like a town hall that is accessible from your
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: own count exactly.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go back.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Like I feel like I wish I was from like
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: two generations ago, or like one at least, so then
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: like because it would just be nice like to be
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: in your house.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: And like we all have brain rot.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Like I don't know about you, but I do like
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: and just the amount of information that we are getting
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: every day and people's lives that we're seeing. Of course
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: I love it, but I'm like, wouldn't it be nice
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: to just like switch off?
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I do.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: There is that la point that people do make that like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you know, you can also find community, which I do
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: like that side of it, book books like I love like,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you know, talking and training to people, but or even
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: your fake community too, like so much of that exists online.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Social vibes.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, social media.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Couldn't have done my career without vibes exactly.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes one, especially to like the gravity of you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: what you've built too. He actually did a Ted talk
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: at the end of last year, which big Sleigh, Huge Sleigh.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Put that on your tombstone in like a billion They
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: gave me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: A trophy that's so cool, a red X.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: I should it's a red X, and then it says
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: like Ted underneath it, it's Ted X talk.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: The guy who started is his name Ted?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Let's look into that write that day.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: It's a red X. But it looks like I was
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: on The X Factor.
• 14:15

  Speaker 5: Yeah, the choreo was like we did like musical theater vibes,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: so like.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Singing in the rain tap you know, I need you
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: with Matt to recreate that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Matt can do tap, but we'll
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: give it a go.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Definitely that would be amazing.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: But anyway, your ted talk was on the power of quitting. Yes, So,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: given that our episodes.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Entirely about women needing to have more audacity, what is
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the power in quitting and how can we use our
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: own free will and audacity to our advantage? So the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: talk that I did, yeah, was on the topic of quitting,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: because often when we think of quitting something or anything,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: we see it in a negative light, whether you know
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: quit a not quit, but like if you end a relationship,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: or you walk away from a friendship, or you give
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: up a job to do something different, if you quit
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: on a sports team, like you know, our whole lives,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: it's been like, don't be a quitter, Like, don't don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: give up on your team, don't give up on your colleagues.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: What will your boss say?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: And so my whole talk was because back in the day,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: I had over twenty jobs, Like my resume was tragic,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: and people would look at that and go, that's terrible, Brittany,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Like you only work there for one month and there
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: for two months, and that was a bad thing. But
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I didn't necessarily see it as a bad thing because
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: it was me just realizing something wasn't right for me,
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: walking away from it and going on to the next thing.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Was my resume of mess. Yeah, but I just lied.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Like I would, just.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Like I wouldn't put lots of workplaces on there, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: then let's say I work somewhere for three months.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I'd stretch it out.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe you make the title sound a little bit fancier, like.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: I was a quitter back in the day, but not
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: in a way of like I'm giving up on this
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: and I don't want to do it. It's like, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: don't like this, so I'm going to go and find
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: something else. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: think in society we see someone quitting or giving up
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: on something as bad when it can be the most
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: powerful thing ever, Like walking away from something, yeah, when
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It's not right for you.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I guess that on the podcast at the start of
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the year that really sometimes there's ones that they go
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: in and they stick there. Yeah, And it was that
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: the longer you stay on the wrong train, the more
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: expensive it is to get home. So the longer you're like,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you know, trying to throw shit at the wall and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: see what sticks the long throw and shit.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: And people said the same, like when I gave up
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: my YouTube channel a few years ago, Like I had
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: that thing for years, I had a million subscribers, I
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: was making loads of money out of it, and then
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I started my business and was doing both and that
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: got to a point where I was like, I think
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: I need to like work full time on my business
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: and not do YouTube anymore. And I also gave up
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: like all my brand deals that I was doing on
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Instagram and stuff, and I went to my account, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: I was like, I think I'm giving up the YouTube
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: channel and I want to stop working with all these
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: brands and you want to go all and.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: He was like, don't quit, like just gave up on this,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, because you wanted to go all
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in on on you were spreading yourself too fair, Yeah, I.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Was, and I just you know, got to a point
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: where I was like working with brands all the time,
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: always having a sponsored post you which is amazing, Like
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: it was great.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I was earning so much money.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: But then I was like, you know, building my business
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: and having to worry about has my ASM Skin Minerals
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: post gotten ready to be posted?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: So so yeah, I made that decision and quit all
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: that as well. And people again were like why would
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: you give that up?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: It's like so much money, and it's like because I
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: want to focus on something else.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not a bad thing, and people like, why
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: are you giving up YouTube? And like, you know, there
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: was a lot of devastation from like people that have
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: followed me, Like you know, You're like, I'm not going.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Away, it's just in a different direction. Yeah, it's coming
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: in a different form.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I kind of like what you're saying as well, though,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: because it's like something that has been your passion and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that you did really enjoy doing, but through just life
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: and evolution, you've also found a secondary passion and you go, Okay,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: well where do I want.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: My time and values to lie.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: And it's not to say that you know, you didn't
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: enjoy that part or time of your career and that
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it didn't fuel you, but you're like, Okay, I also
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: don't have to stay doing the same thing entire life.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I love change, Like I'm like, what is it?
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Like people are what do they say, creatures of habit
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: and then I'm like a creature of change, Like I'm
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: the opposite, Like I welcome it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a side quest love just changing things.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I love it, and I encourage people to embrace change.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Because I know a lot of a lot of I
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: know a lot of people hate it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Like I remember years ago, like when I was in
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: the early days of my business when I had like
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: literally three or four employees, and I had a girl
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: working for me at the time, and I was telling her,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: you know, I think I'm going to hire two more
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: people because is when fate is like a baby, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: I just remember her going to me, I hate change,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: and it's like it's stung me at the time because.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, first of all, how are you
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: going to keep working here?
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Because I want to grow this thing, you know, and
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: you're telling me that you don't like change, you don't
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: want things to change. But that's just it's the way
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: that business business. Yeah, especially when it's like a new
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: business that's growing. But you know, how do you welcome change?
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Again?
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I think it goes back to what we were saying earlier,
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: like you just try the one thing and then it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: a snowball effect of you becoming more comfortable with it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: I think welcoming change is the same.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: It's exposure therapy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, in your experience, what a three side that somebody
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: should quit a job?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or just any.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Any as soon as you get that gut feeling, like
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: your gut feeling is always right, yeah, if it's literally
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: causing you stress in your day to day life or
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: making you worry. And this applies to anything like job, relationship, friendship,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: whatever it may be.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Gym membership. Why do we all sign up to gyms
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: and never go.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a toxic cycle.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: And then to cancel it, they're like, so you have
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: to cross the bridge to ride the dragon and save
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the princess, and then.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, as soon as you get that gut feeling, yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: if it's causing you more like more stress than good.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: And I don't know about a third one, but if
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: you just got that gut feeling about something, your gut
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: is always right and it's that first feeling that's always.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: The right one as well.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so true.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Or if it's something that you've given a lot of
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: chances to, I would.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Say, yeah, you kind of tried every avenue and yeah, okay,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: well clearly this isn't working.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, So we've covered a lot of ground in today's episode.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And as you know, we always like to wrap up
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: our episodes with the same question, which is, what's your
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: biggest life lesson on your journey so far? But because
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: today's episode is all about audacity, what's been your biggest
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: life lesson in.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: That avenue of your life in embracing audacity?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Hmm, I've got so many life lessons. Do you know
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: how hard of a question this is.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I know that's why you're such a good guest.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I should just keep coming back.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: My biggest life lesson.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: In terms of having audacity, I don't know.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: I think a lot of times you have to put
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: yourself before anyone else.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: That's audacity.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that not enough people do that.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: No, I think everyone always puts themselves at, you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: the very back, and of course we want to be empthetic, yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: and you know, considerate of others.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: But that's that's also why a lot of women it
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: being having the audacity.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: To put yourself first.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, doesn't mean you're not being kind exactly, yeah, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of people put themselves at the back
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: of the priority listen, Oh no, but this person and
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: that person, like you know, you even see it in workplaces,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: like people not wanting to overstep their colleagues because maybe
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: they like you know, when they want to achieve the
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: next thing, but then they're mindful of their colleague who's
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: their friend. And I'm like, no, put yourself first always,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like, whilst of course caring
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: about your colleagues, wanting them to do well and succeed,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: but I would say, yeah, put yourself first always, because again,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: this is this is our life, this is our chance.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: We got a lot of chances but let's take them
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: all today. Yeah, I think feel.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: That's a perfect answer for that.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that's a.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Hard question to answer, it is, but I think you
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: answered it really well.
• 22:56

• 22:58
