  Speaker 3: I'm like, when I was thinking about what we were
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: going to talk about, I was like truly dumbfounded.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I was like, what are we actually going to talk about?
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: I think we have a lot to talk.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I like real personal stuff, but I'm like,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: usually I'm like talking about career stuff, and like, this

  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys can through me.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, how long has.
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: It been in your relationship to date? Without a year?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Almost?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we officially started what like February, were chatting in like, yeah,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: we were December January.
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we were. We were in the talking phase before
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: we started dating.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, we were texting.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and okay, so February twenty twenty five.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, honestly, it's been amazing. Thank you so much
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: for introducing us.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: This is my absolute pleasure.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I look at you guys, and I think
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to myself, this is some of my best work.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: This is mad Heaven for sure.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It makes me very happy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And especially I think when I saw both of you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: posting from the same spot this summer wakeboarding, I was like,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: That, And.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I know that's what's kind of insane, is that we
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: obviously never knew each other. You guys have connects, And
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: that's what I was saying before we started. The world
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: is so small, and we've worked together in other capacit
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and it's hard to find your your person who you
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: feel like you match with, you feel safe with, you
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: feel like you can you know, move forward in your
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: life with as far as like career goes, and feel
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: like you can trust.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And and then the fact.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: That like we had all these little people and and
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and uh situations and locations all in common.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: It was like and it just keeps happening.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like the synchronicities of like why we are supposed
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to be together? Just keep confirming themselves.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: Why And it's like we don't need to get into
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: it because that would take hours, but it is crazy stuff. Yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: so it's it's it's a nice reminder and a reason
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: that makes me so happy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: What were first impressions of one another? And when did
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know that Lindsay was going to be your person?
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I guess it was really early on.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I remember when we were on Zoom and I just remember.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I have to say I'm not very good at interview
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: hiring because I usually feel like I just go very
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: emotional and connection and like I'm like are they going
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to do the job?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Like right, Like I love people, and if somebody's bright
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: and bubbly and all that, I'm like great, But then
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, are.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: They going to be able to like execute? Execute?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And so before we had our first interview, I literally
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: asked friends.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I was like, what questions do I need to ask
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: because your friend chat? Yeah?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but truly because I was like, wait, all I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: usually do this wrong. I'man like a connection person, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: like I really need somebody to do a great job,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and so I felt like I.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Was much more primiared.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: I thought I was gonna say, I thought you were great.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And but I think the difference in what I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: experienced with Lindsay was you were so engaged and then
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you're curious. You asked questions. Instead of it was me
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: just getting the answers out of you, you were also
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: part of the conversation. And I was really impressed with
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: that because I felt like, Okay, one, you're gonna be
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: able to hold your own in your own situation with
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: people that I'm going to be working with, but also like, yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you're you're not here to just please me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: You are total to actually like be a.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Part of and I think that's what I've been looking for,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: is more of a partner.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Well, And it's as much as I'm in your life,
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: you're in my life.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: So it's arguably a two way interview of like me
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: being curious and asking you, because.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: You also have to decide to like it's.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: A mass exactly, and I do you know there are
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: things where were like, Okay, Like I'm sure there's people
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: in these roles where they're like, I don't love that
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: but I'll try it versus I think I'm at a
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: point in my life now where I was like, I don't, like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: why sign up to not do something that I don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: want to do?
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: So I was very just like I think when I
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: went in, very intentful of what I wanted. And then
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: you know, it's you don't get a you get a
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: dose over zoom.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: And I think we met in person that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Sooms are tough, that you can never really Yeah, it's
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: a good way to scream someone.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And then we met in person and that just
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: felt right.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: And I will say she's very she's very smart, like
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: she's talented in performance, but she's also very very smart.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: And the like kind of the vision she laid out
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: for me of what she wanted to do was immediately
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: exciting for me. And I was like, I'm in and
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: a lot of that I had done in previous roles,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Like I have a background in fashion and at a
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: tech startup and this just like that kind of was
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: the nail on the coffin and be like all right,
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: like this is going to be fine.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And even though you didn't have a traditional assistant background,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that experience sort of was relevant. I'm sure with fittings
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and now Dancing with the Stars, Like, how did you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: how did you utilize your background having Yeah, yeah, let's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: talk about that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: So I worked in fashion, and so it's because I
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: love brands, and in her world it's always brands.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: So I think that's one.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: But also when I was at Tory Birch for a
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: couple of years and kind of the way we looked
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: at marketing was this like three sixty scope where like,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: you know the brand, here's like the wheel of the
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: brand and all the spokes of like what marketing, it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: like three sixty campaigns basically, And.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: I think the way I look at Jewels.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Is like she can have a three sixty campaign, like
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: whether it's you know, dancing with the Stars, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: there's something on YouTube, there's brand deals, there's so many
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: different facets coming at her, but she's kind of like.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: The center of that wheel.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: That is like was helpful for me coming from the
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: marketing background. And then just like I think also fashion
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: in New York is fast paced and like you gotta
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: you gotta move. I think LA is great, but it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: like can be a little bit slower. So New York,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: I always say was a great training ground for me
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: because you just it was you had to be on it,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: and it was intense. It was very much like del
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: War's BROADUS. So I think that was a great skill
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: that I could fashion.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: New York is intense.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I came from but it's a great training ground really,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: And so I'm just like I'm quick on things, or I.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Like to be.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I'm yeah, But I also then you there's a twofold
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: of that because then you also don't want to be rush.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: You don't want to do things without intent. So yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: it's that There's been a lot that I've pulled from
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: my background in both fashion and a tech startup and
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: just working with different executives and people. And my tech startup,
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: I worked with like the CEO all the time, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: you just show up to party, show up to events,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: and you ask them questions about them. Like we go
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: to things all the time, and it's like, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: I can move around a room, but it's just.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Because I'm asking people about them.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: But again, and that's why I want to say, because
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of experiences that I've had in the past
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: with assistants have been people pleasing and like, as much
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: as that is great for a period of time, it's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: not sustainable. And also like with the differences, Like again,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Lindsay shows up and she so curious and is so
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: hungry to like understand every person's job in the room.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And so it's a relational experience as well.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: It's not just.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: About Again, it's not just about I am not the
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: only thing here.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: It is the entire ecosystem.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And to navigate and to have a foot in every
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you know, door of what's happening and have this level
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: of respect and.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: This two way stream of communication.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, whether it's me as a person or me
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: as an entity or as a business, you are a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: representative of that business. And so like the level of
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: trust and like exhale that I have been able to
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: have that I haven't had in probably eight or nine years,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: has been like transformative for me.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, that works my heart so much.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think what you just said hit so hard.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It's like when you're searching for an assistant. Life is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: so big. You have so many different things going on.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: There's people that Lindsay is going to be interfacing with.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So to be able to blindly send her out into
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a room or bring her to an event. You have
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to know, Okay, this person's going to represent me well,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm not nervous about her having a conversation with
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: someone saying something off the rails. I trust her completely,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I know her. You trust her?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's a relationship.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And I think that like when when you think of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: dating or friendships or anything like that, like an executive
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: assistant is literally the person that knows everything about you
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: and vice versa, Like I want to know as much
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: as I can about Lindsay and what's going on in
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: her life too, because again it's not just it's the
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: perfect balance. You can't just like do a job and
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: be unemotional and like unrelational. You can't just be the
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: like fun person to be around. They have to do it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a hard balance.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: It is like it's easier than don say a long
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: time to find you're mad.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I will say sorry and we're like focusing
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: on yeah, here we go.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Not us.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I think Jules immediately was quick to trust me, which
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: I haven't had in a lot of roles before. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: then once your micromanaged, like you might as well handcuff me,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: and like I like, I will not do my best
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: work if I micromanaged and she trusted me immediately, which
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I remember being like, Wow, this is new for me,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: but like this is amazing because there's no benefit to you.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Are you to do this or you do this? I
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: think you kind of gave me those like free reigndom.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: In the beginning.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Maybe it was a test, maybe that's just how you are,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: but it allowed me to get so comfortable so quickly
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: with you, and yeah, just to kind of like take
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: off from there truly, Otherwise I really.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Would have been like frozen in my work.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I had another client and her assistant who sort of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: went through the opposite where she was micromanaging too hard
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and like breathing down her neck to a point where
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the assistant was like, I can't. I feel like I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: just being babysat all day and it's making me more stressed,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and it sort of like was you know, their downfall. Unfortunately,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: So some dynamics work for certain people, and clearly you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I will say, though it's not that common for a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: lot of my clients to just be like I trust
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you at the bat, I feel like that's I mean.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: But Lindsay obviously is so different and she came from
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a mutual connection, like we knew each.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Other previously, so it was a little different.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But I think like trust obviously at the same time,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: is something that's earned, and when you have someone who
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: knows all your passwords and stuff, it like can be
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: super scary if it's the wrong person.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I also think it's it's how somebody shows
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: up though, Like what were we talking about yesterday?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I was talking about how like.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Reason, I know we were talking about five minutes ago,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: you know, but like where sometimes like it's how somebody
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: holds themselves that allows the other person to feel comfortable.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: And so like because because.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Lindsay is so secure in herself and like knows who
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: she is, she has a vision for her life, she is,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: she has a full life for her, it made me
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: feel more comfortable to trust her because.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: It wasn't just all about me, right, Like that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Can feel suffocating to in a way that like I've
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: had I've had other people in my life that are
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: incredible as far as like nurturers, but it was almost
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: so much that it almost was like, oh my gosh,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: this is this is too much for me, or the micromanaging.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I think only really happened with one person with me,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: which was we just were the wrong fit.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: We just like I only micromanaged.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: When it's like I don't I don't have good communication
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and I'm a pretty good communicator as far like I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: am able to communicate what I need, what's not working,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and we just could not communicate. So like that was
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: the only I was like, I'm drying, I don't know
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: what to do. Let me ask this in another way.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Nope, is that working? Yeah, let me ask chat And
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: now I got me again, Yeah exactly, not again. I
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: think that was a pre Megan.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope so yeah, but yeah, So it has
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: a lot to do with how you also are able
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: to see who matches who and like what is going
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to be a good match energetically, physically. I mean, we
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: have fun together and we laugh together. Two and that
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: is a huge part of my life. Is like if
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: there is not joy and like giggles, then like it
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: gets too serious.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Totally get Yes, I have.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Weird humor, and so people can be.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Like, well, this is what I was gonna say.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I will be at a loss for words and
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Lindsey will just
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: say something and.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Then I'll.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: And so it's it's almost like she says it under
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: her breath, but I'm like looking for a word and
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: then I say it, and I'm like.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Say that. It's so funny.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, So speaking of funny, what's the funniest thing or
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is there a story that you guys want to share
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: about working together that's been very memorable for.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: The Remember when I first it was Earlier On with
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: you and it was Vanity Fair Oscars and.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Your outfit.

  Speaker 5: Do you know what I'm gonna say, No, You're you
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: had that like amazing Scafarelli.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Dress, the one where I looked naked in the back.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, And I love the stylist, but she has
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: terrible eyesay, and I would tell her that to her.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Face, and so she uses my eyes to help with
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: like certain things she can't see.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: And so you had a your dress clipped down where
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: your private area is.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, Oh my gosh.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: I was on like no one could do it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: She couldn't just because it was like one month into
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the job.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so bad out like fully doing the kids.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Under my eyes almost But I was like, lindsay, I'm
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: so sorry, you gotta get in there.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: So I was like on the floor, hands and knees
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: in her kitchen, like.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: It's also not even like no, I did not have
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: underwear on because you couldn't with this there was up there.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: There was no like snaps.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: It was a hook and eyes, so you had to
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: really get in there, like I mean that those kinds
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of yes, those are those are like.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, she trusted me.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: There are some straight men who apply for these assistant
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: jobs and sometimes they're like, why aren't I a fit?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, you know there's a gang.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: They've been like I'm like, hmmm, I don't have HR.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: How am I doing here? Just having a full meeting
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: while I'm in the shower yesterday yesterday, yeah, yesterday.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Even often make up artists, we were like setting up
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: in another room and we usually do hair make about
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: there and I was like, I haven't showered. I was
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: like in the shower, I like picked my head out
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: and she's like, do you care if I make I
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: was like, I don't know if you know, so like
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: we just fully I am showering.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Father.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: It is a team of we. It's all women, it is.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And you've been with your greater team for a long.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Time, Yes, I will say that, like usually I'm I'm
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a pretty consistent loyal person no matter if we shift rolls,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: like we'll always find a way to continue to work
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: together in some sort of capacity. But like Rihanna, she's
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: been my hairstylist and said it was I don't know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: nineteen years old, my god, and oh my gosh, talk
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: about sisters like we will later. I mean, we have
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of stories, but like, well, you know, the
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: whole season of Dancing with Stars. I can be a
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: little sassy with her sometimes.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: And the last episode.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: She got sassy back and I was like, oh, you've
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: been holding that in. But it was so funny. It
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: was really like it's so good, Like it's just.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a fun tease yeeah. It is especially when
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: you're traveling.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like that and probably doing a show, there's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: just so many more opportunities for like funny stories and bonding.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, outside of the house or office.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: It's good.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: It's a good mix.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I feel like once once you find your people too,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: like and like the loyalty of staying as much as
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: you can and moving through things instead of like, oh
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: this isn't working. I think it just it gives you
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: a really good idea of I don't know like how
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: it's it's growth as a human.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Because you're a leader. I think a lot of the times.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: This is one thing that I learned when I was
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: eighteen years old, and like I just learned it a
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: few years ago, which is when you're in the entertainment
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: business as an artist or celebrity, you don't realize this,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: but you are the business. And so when you're hiring
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: people around you, it's not just about like hiring a friend,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: do you know what I mean that can take care
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: of you. It's literally like growing your business and your empire.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: And so like those choices, you don't know how to
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: make those decisions at eighteen years old, you know, But
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: if you meet people along the way and you can
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: continue to grow with them, Like I always say, it's
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: like when you're in a relationship at a young age,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: you don't know anything.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: You either grow together or you had a chapter of life.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: You move on and then you grow and then you
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: meet somebody else that matches you at that stage. But
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: if you can grow that whole time, I mean, that's
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: like it's pretty unheard of and it's a hard thing
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: to do really hard thing.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Do you need to give yourself a lot of credit
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: there because it's so rare for someone to stay with
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the same people and keep people around for so long
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and be so busy like you are, but also give
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: your team the tension that they need to check in
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: with them, be like, are you guys happy? Like be
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a leader, Take the time to care about who's working for.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: You and working with you.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: You don't think that you're being a leader when you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: that age and then building a team. You're hoping people
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: will take care of you. And I think that the
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: thing has shifted in my perspective of like how am
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I showing up as a leader for my team versus
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: how are they taking care of me? And I think
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: that's that's been the biggest shifting.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Well, that'll take you to the next level too, because
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: people also want to be directed and they'll do well
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: if they're directed correct, right, And the more direction you give,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: the higher we can all go together.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'll just attract the right people around you.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, right.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I think sometimes you get in jobs and there's no
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: direction and everyone's just running around in circles and you're.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Just pluateauing there are so many times when like again
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: relationally speaking, Lindsay can clock things before I even know
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: what's happening and be able to manage a situation and
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: with some very high emotional people and I don't even
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: know it's happening. And yet like there is a there's
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: a deep respect of like, thank you so much for
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: handling that because and I never even it didn't even
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: have to come into my field, into my orbit, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: and like.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: I kind of look at my job like I'm kind
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: of I'm the last line of defense to you, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: I know, like Dancing with the Star show days are crazy,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: so I will do whatever I can to be like
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: fruit Ninja and get things out of the way, you
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: know what I mean. Like that's the visual I have
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: in my head that like could affect her because she
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: used to be on my TV for two hours and
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: it's intense. So those days especially, I'm like, okay, what
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: is going on, like kind of clocking everything and letting
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: her know if it's urgent or necessary, I will share
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: it with her, or I'll save it and I'll if
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: it's don't necessarily share with her at another time.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: But I think that that's part of.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: My job delivery and timing, figure out what's urging. If
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: she looks stressed, do I need to bother her about
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: this right now?
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: There's so many things I could throw at her at once,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: but I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna save that for later.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna save that for later. This doesn't need to
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: happen this week.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Like there's a whole like hamster wheel in my head
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: of you know, how to present things over fend off things.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: But it's on the other side of that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: A lot of my job, too, is creating and fostering
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: relationships with people on her team. Yes, and that you
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: know you're not you you. I think you learn as
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: you go and you might not click with people, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: you gotta like you're the one that they communicate with.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Help me, help you help Yeah, totally, and.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: It if they're nice to me, it's gonna go great.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: But like now I'm kidding no, but it's it's very
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: like those relationships will go far, and I don't. I
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: don't weigh the many differently that I'd weigh my relationship
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: with jewels, Like the glam team that we have on
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Dancing with the Stars, I I text them separately. I
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: call them separately. Our publicist. I have a great relationship
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: with her that like I don't need to call them,
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: but I do, and it's just catching up, like calling
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: our public juice publicist. We're friends. She's talk asking about
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: my personal life all the time. I know everything about
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: her and it's like I don't have to but actually
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: enjoy it and it helps the long run.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So when I makes your job easier, totally everyone's job easier.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Well, And honestly, that's what I trust is that in
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: any in any dynamic, people want to be known and
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: they want to know. And so knowing that you know
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: my people that are like around me and that they
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: know you is just another extension of me feeling like
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: they get they get what I'm trying to do, and
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I know what they're doing because you also inform me
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: to when sometimes yeah, life gets crazy. And by the way,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Lindsay has heard me spiral many times. This is this
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: is my fa favorite part.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Is like we're figuring out she's figuring out.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: My patterns of like when like when I'm on my period,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: when of course, when like I come off of a show,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: when I feel like I should get you to answer
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: all this because I.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Want to hear it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: But like, but the good news is I will say
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: I'm having a spiral moment.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: And like now you don't no, not right now?
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: I was like.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I also share those moments too, because also
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: like recognizing where how many places I can go, like
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know, instead of trying to just again, it's
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: this personal relationship is so much more than just checking
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: off the list of things that need.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: To be done. Totally it is.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: It is a like masterclass in emotional intelligence and understanding,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: you know, and navigating the different spirals or the happy
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: moment it's flow state, like and what had to happen
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: in order for me to get to that place or
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: what situation and environment were we in that activated something
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: and like but you.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Communicate that well and that's that's like I think why
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: this is successful. It's because it's a trickle down effective
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: like because you communicate that to.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Me and how you're feeling.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I know, you know your state of beings, so when
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: anyone comes to me for certain things, I.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Know what to green light to red light.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like again that last line of defense like keys
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: to the kingdom, so I can understand, I can really
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I can control what goes on around you in that regard, right,
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: But it starts from the top, Like you're just very
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: self aware and you're very good at expressing how you feel.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: You don't you don't.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Hide things, you're not confine. Its doing that made me go.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's so crazy when people are like that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Like I'm very blunt too. But I also think that
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the emotional aspect of these jobs is the most challenging
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: for people. Yeah, I think there's a short window to
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: kind of establish the dynamic for communicating and for like
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the tone that you want.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: To have through this relationship with your.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Assistant or your staff. And if you miss that window
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and then your boss is having a spiral or having
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a bad day, you're really not gonna be able to
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: like separate it because you're not going to know like
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: what's going on, or like, I think it's very important
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to inform your assistant, Hey, I'm not having a good
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: day today. If people need to get in touch with me,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: will you just you know, handle XYZ exactly, Or because
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you obviously know Jeel so well, she might not even
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: have to verbalize stuff.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: You'll probably just know right because you have.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Really good emotional awareness but some people it's the most
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: challenging part of these jobs, and that's when it sort
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: of goes south.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I also think too, like you're also smart enough
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: to know it has nothing to do with you, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: it actually doesn't have anything to do with anybody either.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: It's like I have a spiral.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: For instance, I'll give an examples like usually after a
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: big show like dancing, when the stars is done, and
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I've been so immersed in it and so present and
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: been doing so much that when it finishes, there's like
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: the come down, you know, show blues, so that automatically happens.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I'm aware of that, but then I'm like, oh my gosh,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I have to catch up on all of the other
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: things that I didn't get to during the season.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: But I'm I have momentum, So then who's who's Who's
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: keeping track of it?
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Ah, And I have this like spiral moment where I
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: feel like overwhelmed while I'm crashing. And so what Lindsay
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: has been so great at is like even before I
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: start the like air going like this, it's like She's like,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: we got this, let's go, like you do the shoulder
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: things and then you've got and for a dancer.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Guy, I've learned to dance.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: A laptop out she was ready to go. I'm taking notes.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Let's I'm gonna talk to Troy and do you like
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I've got it all. It's like you you do it
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: in a way that makes me feel like I can
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: just spew go talk I got it and not and
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: not have to have my shit together and I and like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: but but there's a level of respect.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Again, I'm not like weird where I'm just like oh.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, but I'm but I definitely am like,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: oh my god, I feel overwhelmed in here, and I
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: gotta say this, and like she's organizing my chaos, and.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of times it's just your brain dumping.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, all right, I'm gonna write this down.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: I can't remember all this.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: But just like the if I can be a chaotic,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: she can be a container, or like sometimes I am
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: very leader and I can be very contained. But like,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: just the ability that all parts of me can exist
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: with you is I.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Think the dream the key to success.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Yah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I think it also fully I love you,
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: I love I also loved with guys, I'm literally seeing
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: your smile like it makes me.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: You have no idea the level of joy that this
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: brings me. It's really fun for you to see the
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: best part of my job.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: That's awesome, really a connector.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: But like I'm of success with connecting people like I
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: love when I.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It's almost like bumble for me, you know, like the high.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: I would get from your job of knowing that you
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: like successfully match like this is it's that's amazing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: That's a hard thing to do.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: It is very nail it down. I'm like, let's go.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: There's so many very well and I think like also,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, we are coming up on our year, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: so it's like, you know, also going through like what
• 28:43

• 28:45
  Speaker 3: was challenging? What we're what what are our like intentions
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: this year? What are what are personal goals? What are
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: work goals? You know you said it best to often
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the other day. It's like, you know, everybody has also
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: a personal goal that they want to have, and so like,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: for instance, I don't want to like say too much
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: without Afton's permission, but you know, there was a certain
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: job that like she would be dying to do that
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: she would work as a local and like do it,
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: but you have to communicate that also so that your
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: people know so that they will hire you for that,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: you know, and and so like also knowing what Lindsay's
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: personal vocals are within your career of like I don't know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: there might be something that like you really want to
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: go to this event because this brand matters to you
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: or something, so like maybe I wouldn't have thought of that,
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: but like I will.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: You know, It's like I want to also know what.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: I would like, but I want to know what you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: In your don't know.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: How I think that's important.
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: Being on Dancing Stars it was amazing.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: I mean it's it's chaos for that the day that
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: it's live, but and it's it takes a village, like
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: if you had a body camera on her.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, because it's it's a live show, but it's
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: it's eight am. I arrived there, and there's there's rehearsals
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: and script read throughs and camera blocking, and I mean
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: it's it's constantly it is.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: Minute by minute, like no not short of that, and
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: you know it was a machine. What basically like goes
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: on behind the scenes is that you know, no one
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: really probably has a lens into unless you're on the team.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: You know, there's girls are part of the team.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Is their social team is up by Jewels, up in
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: the skybox posting live. I'm in the dressing room, probably
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: with one of her talent managers or someone that's coming
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: to visit or family member. You know, Glam's running around,
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: but she's in hair makeups. Starting at nine, it's the
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: same glamb through the day. There's a photographer for you know,
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: a week a half hour window to shoot. You know,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: they're getting her micd up. If she's dancing, she has
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: to do quick changes like.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: It is Sunny's there, so she's also.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I told you to bring Sonny.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: But it's it's really really fun. It's it's amazing. And
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: sometimes I'll sit in rehearsals and do some work and
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: kind of see the show and that's it's fascinating to
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: watch these people and then to think that what she
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: does also and you're reading live.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's you know.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: My favorite is is like I think after the first
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: or second episode or maybe both, like we had like
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: a debrief of like the socials and how it went.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Because because it's also like we're not just like randomly posting,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: like there's strategy behind it, there's a time frame, there's
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: a window, there's like making sure that we're we're mapped.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: We're like getting the measured success for the ratings for
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: socials on TV, Like there's like all these things.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: We're playing the game, playing the game.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean it works such an amazing thing. It
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: was incredible the most successful season or yes, I don't
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: know like successful, but the most ratings.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: So basically the ratings have never been this high since
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: the season finale of Friends.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, for.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Any TV crazy stat any TV show, and so like
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: it was crazy. We uh, I mean back when I
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: started the show, it was twenty years ago and there
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: are yeah, almost eighteen years ago for me.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Youngest person.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: But when yeah, did I just do that?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, so it was successful then, but like
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: the way that it's now been twenty years later, it's
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: unheard of. But by the way I was gonna say that,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: that's what I love the most is the next day
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: they will like also kind of make fun of me
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: in the most like delicious way, Like this is.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: What they're saying on TikTok.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, have like parodies to some of your stuff.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Was so I'm showing like the one dress that looked
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: like curtains. They were calling it curtains and I was like,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: you mean beef curtains. Like we were like, it's just
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: like it's playful and it's fun. Yeah, you can't take
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: yourself to serious.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: You're good about being self deprecating.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to be the you guys are too.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like if you guys weren't self deprecated in a way.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: That made it playful and fun, maybe I would take
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: it seriously fair, you know what I mean.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Like, it's it's all about the energy that you put
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: around yourself.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: You're only team.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: It is otherwise, Like can you imagine if it is
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: at all, like no straight laced people around me, Well, your.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Day is so intense you need like that's a requirement,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: actually you yeah, some like fun.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Also it's not like we're doing anything like that is
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: so life changing, but it can be because it's how
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: you make people feel at the end of the day.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: So it's like their physical job is in life changing.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: We're not you know, like doctors.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: But like, but the way you leave people feeling, and
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: that's not just me, that is my entire team and
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: that is, Lindsay, that is everybody that I try to
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: surround myself with.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Are you referring to the contestants on the show when
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you're filming?
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I know, I mean like my personal team Lindsay Yanna
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: often like all hair and makeup, anybody that I personally
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: surround myself that I get to make that choice like
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: that is a that is a huge deal. I will
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: say our show is excellent at finding positive, amazing people.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: And that's why I think our show blew up this
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: season is because it's it's the one show that's on
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: TV that like people aren't trying to like find the negativity.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: They're like, joy is working.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: People are dancing, and it's just like not, it's not
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: like Love Island or like, you know, something superficial.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Exactly, yeah, exactly.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I always say it's a transformation show masked in rhinestones
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: and fringe, but you know, I love that.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: How do you guys source contestants for Dancing at the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Stars or is there a do people apply?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I guess is that some question?
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Not really.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Dina Katz has been the casting director and executive producer
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: since the very beginning, and she just has a pulse
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: on what's happening in the world and who is who
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: is making headlines and you know, on the rise. Yeah,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: and like I think people now over the last couple
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: of years, they are like pitching themselves, like people want
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: to be on this show. I gotta DM from like
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: I can't remember what his name is now, but he's
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: like an Olympic skateboarder. I would think I was on
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Watch What Happens Live with him and so like, I
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: guess I followed him there.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: So he DMed me.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: That's how I saw it, and he was like, get
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: me on Dancing with the Stars, like you should be
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: on it, and he goes, no for real, and I
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, okay, I mean, let me put your
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: name in there.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: But I was like, oh, that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Actually is actually like a very good idea. An Olympic
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: skateboarder who's also like nineteen and just like super cute,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you know, like.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: That's a good that's a good call.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: But that says so much about We're Dancing with the
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Stars is no, oh yeah, because I'd imagined before they
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: were asking people.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, people are campaigning and petitioning and.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Dming to be on the show, and that was that's
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: also a fun piece of this job. Like that was
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: fun for me to be a part of the season,
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: like to just jump in and all of a sudden
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: it was stacked cast. Yeah, like what a cool experience
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: for me to see. Like yeah, I mean after it all,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: you know, every tuesday's go, go go, and then you
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: get get in your car at night and then you
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: get home and it's by that point it's airing on
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: the West coast. Yeah. And it's crazy because I heard
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: it in the apartment next door to me playing and
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I hear her voice, Oh my.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: God, this is crazy.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: You're like, how cool like this is? This is really cool.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: It's like these moments you're like I was just there
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: live that's Julianne like that.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: That's awesome. That's fun.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I actually have a question because you know me, like
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: me and then like sometimes like when I do get
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: stopped or whatever, it does it ever? Like because it
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: makes me feel weird. I'm like, if they knew who
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I was, they would not care at all, But like,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: but the persona of who I am on TV and
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, like it kind of does it match.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know what I'm asking.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Are you? I know, what you're asking, and I.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: If you're the same in person.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: It's like anyone I think people see you in these
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: ball owns hosting online TV full glam you.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Are, it's a ball in a gown that is a
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: ball gown.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: I've seen you with a cup of coffee in the
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: morning and your pajamas so like with like my hair. Ye. So,
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: but I think you can say that about anyone that like,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: you know, I just it's it's not weird because we
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: live in LA and I feel like I'm around a
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: good amount.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: Of people there.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: You know it your life.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's actually why I really enjoy Lindsay too,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: is because she also has like her friends are also
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: in the business. Yeah, yes, there's she's there's no there's
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: there's no which there should never be a hierarchy, but
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: there there's no hierarchy of like I don't know, like.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Boss fame, you know what I mean, Like, do you
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: know what I'm trying.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: I also never like wanted to work in entertainment, to
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: work in entertainment exactly, And this is what I think
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: what you're saying, Like, I actually the reason I wanted
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: to pivot into this is because I wanted to work
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: for a brand that was a person like I worked
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: in fashion as a brand. I worked for a tech
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: company and I ran brand partnerships. But then to come
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: here and like you're the brand and that and I'm
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: like front row seat to that brand and I, you know,
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: have my hands in every aspect of it. So that
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: I think coming it from that angle is maybe why
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: you feel that way.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of what I was saying at
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: the very beginning too, which is like you are you
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: came from you know, tech startup fashion and like I
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: remember I interviewed somebody pre pre Magan Thank you, that
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: was that I wanted to be an actor, and I
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: was like.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Absolutely not, like conflict of interest.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it's just like there's always an agenda to want
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: to do something else.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, you love you, but don't want to
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: be Yeah, exact, I have no background in dance by
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: the way.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Watching five seasons going to be on dancing.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: But like then that goes back to your what you started, Megan,
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: and that's like you're sourcing these people to work for,
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: people like Julian with the right intentions and for the
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: right reason.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I think what you said about wanting to work for, like,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: have the person be the brand. That's really what you
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: said to me when you first got me.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: You know, you first got in.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Touch, and obviously you knew my best friend Sarah. You
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: guys grew up together, and I got to know you
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: so well over the last couple of years, so I
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: knew what I was there. I was strategic here. But
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I also think that we do, unfortunately get a lot
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: of candidates who are very interested in the celebrity of
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: it all, which never.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Works out well.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Or I mean, I am very grateful to have so
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: many resumes come through, but I feel bad for the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: candidates actually who are actors and aspiring directors, because we
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: really don't place them with any of our famous clients
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: because it gets a little conflicted because I never want
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: my famous clients to feel like someone's in a room
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons, or you know, trying to make
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: a connection or email someone behind their Those are the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: things I worry about, and they're not totally comfortable with
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: that either, So it's a bit sticky, but hopefully to
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: be able to figure out what to do with them.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's been your biggest challenge?
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: I think placing those people because I want to give
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: as many people as possible an opportunity, and it's also
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: the candidates who want to grow up and be directors
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and producers. We don't do hiring for production companies quite yet, yeah,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: but that is something that we will be dipping into
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: this year. We just have so many creative resumes that
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: come through as opposed to the person who just wants
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to be an assistant like lindsay and produce someone's life.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, is it easy to sniff out?
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Like, girl, you could do it now that you've been
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: in this jobie someone and right away be like absolutely not.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it takes me five seconds. The girls know
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: how quick I am.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Really And what's the most fulfilling and rewarding party?
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: You kidding this?
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: It makes it literally makes me so happy.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: It is because now you guys are in each other's
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: lives and it's a good, healthy thing.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm so happy you also have each other because
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: since it's so intimate, you know everything that's going on
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: in her life and vice versa, and that support is
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: actually really crucial for.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: The both of you. I don't know, it's yeah.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: I will say, like to go off of that, what's
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: interesting about this role versus previous ones is like that
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: that line of church and state of Like I've been
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: in roles where if you you know, I, I'm pretty
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: I can be.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: An open person. I love I talk about my family
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: a lot, my friends, and.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Like kind of Jules said, I have a full life,
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: and I like have built that and I'm proud of it. Yeah,
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: but in previous roles, I've had managers or CEOs or bosses,
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: higher ups kind of you know, pry and so I'll
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: open up and then they judge or it's used against me,
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: and so then you're like, oh, shoot, okay, I kind
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: of cross that like line church versus state of you
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: know what to share. But versus this is so different
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: because it's actually fun to cross that line because we
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: can relate on a lot of it. Like again, we
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: are both wake surfing toge this summer because I was
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: with my boyfriend's family and she was out with us.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: So like, this is different than what I but I
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: had to learn that.
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: Does that make sense?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I think you went into it as a
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: hired professional, not a professional friend.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Which a lot of people switch right off the bat.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: But because you went in professionally first, the friendship comes
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: at a later time, once you sort of have crossed over.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: You know, certain moments, or gain more trust.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: And totally bonded.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: But you have to go in with the first mindset
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: or else it won't be successful. If you go in
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: trying to be BFFs right off the bat, it can
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: be a turn off.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: But once you hit that.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: You know the threshold.
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, totally. I had to learn it turns out,
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: but I definitely went in a little bit more stiff
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: because of working for more you know, professional organizations and
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: more corporate.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that makes sense, but I think it also
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: like that was probably the right approach because yeah, like
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I had an assistant for eight years and she was fantastic.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: I remember she was a PA on a movie set
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: and I just I watched her like I was an
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: observer and I watched how she clocked things very early on, and.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Like, I didn't need an assistant at the time. I
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: was a kid.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I was doing, but I really
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: saw her talent and how good she was at her job.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: And I was like, are you ever going to come
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: out to la, you know? And She's like if I
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: had a job, And I was like.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Was that a request, wink winko.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: So I ended up hiring her even though I never
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: had an assistant before, and she was so good at
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: her job, and we became friends. But then it really
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: and she knows this, so I'm not speaking out of turn,
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: but then it got so codependent that we both got
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: so codependent that when it was time for us to
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: actually move on, because that codependency became unhealthy.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: That like broke my heart, it broke her heart. It
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: was really challenge.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: And then since that time that I we broke up,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't open up to any person that I was
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I worked with again because I was so like, I
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: grieved that that breakup so much because we were so
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: close and she was so great at her job, and
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: so I think I I actually haven't opened up to
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: anybody yet except for Lindsey and like, and that is like,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: but I think it is because I trusted one. You're
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: so good at what you do, and then you also
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: are so warm and so kind and allowed for that space,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: and I trust I trust me now and I trust
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: you now that we won't become co dependent.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like we're no. You have your own life,
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: I worked life. We have fun together, but like.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's still a health a boundary like an employee.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Despite how close you guys are, that that lines to
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: is there and both of you clearly respect it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Or also be working.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we really are.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I also think what you both said of having your
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: own lives is really important, and when the job becomes
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: your life, that's also when it can go south. And
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I think it should be a pre prerequisite with hiring
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: to make sure that like someone. I also think it's
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: a green flag if someone is so into their family
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: and their friends and their activities and like their pobbit
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: and it's like mentally, well you know all those things.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: But it's it's like when the girls are here past
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, past a certain time, I'm.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Like, go enjoy your life, like you guys should.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Go home, Like I know you're going to work, but
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I want them to feel like they have a weekend
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and can you know, decompress.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: It's it's such an interesting I don't even know how
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: to articulate what I'm about to say, but I'm going
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: to try because it is for anybody who wants to
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: be an assistant, Like as you are interviewing the person,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: you will be assisting you.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Should also check that they also.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Want to have fun in their life and have friends
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: in their life, and that they're not constantly working and
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: that their whole being isn't just about work because that
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: that also like will bleed into your life too. So
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: like so that's one, and then I think like knowing
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: that knowing that it's it's a hard balance because like
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: I want to know that if something comes up at
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: eleven PM, I can text you that you're gonna you're
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: gonna see it. You probably will respond if you're with
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: your phone, but it's not like an expected.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going to just text you.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: At eleven and disregard your your what I mean. Like,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: so it's like it's like a weird thing where it's
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: like really, if I text at you know, two o'clock
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: in the morning, she's not going to respond, but you
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: I never do that, but we'll just say ye early
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: morning or late at night or something like there there
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: she knows that I'm it must be something that I
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: really care about and like need some attention on and
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: she usually shows up. Whereas like that like really really
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: hard line of black and white. So it's like it's
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: like this weird malleable thing. But then it's also about
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: respecting people's.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Space and right and it goes both way, like it.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: Totally does well.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: I said this to you early on when I first started.
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm tight with my family. I'm in
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: a long distance relationship at the time. I mean, I
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: just I made it very clear that those are big
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: pieces of my life.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: And my friends who like I have in LA and
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: I love.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: And you know, friends are getting married, I'm at weddings,
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: and I was like, this fills my cup and I
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: will do a better job. If I'm a happy person
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: to support you, aka like to, then you will do better,
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: Like this whole machine will be way more well oiled
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: if like you know, I'm not that I'm on vacation
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: twenty four seven back, but if I can have those
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: important things in my life, those boxes checked.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: But I think that's why we get along too well.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Like I have to go surf, I have to go snowboard,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: like I have. Yeah, I started, but I'm obsessed. But
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: like me, going and doing that makes me more productive
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: than if I were to be sitting at a computer
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: staring at it for four hours frozen, which is what
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: happens you know what I mean, and I.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Would burn out exact way.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm more productive when I have when I'm structuring
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: my day, dog park work out, totally come and do
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: like can you run out to go get a manicure
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: during the week if I need to, Because when I'm
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: managing my time, well, I'm actually I'm showing.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Up better for my team.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: And when I feel like I'm actually taking care of
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: myself too, So squeezing in a workout or maybe it's
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: coming in a little bit later so someone on my
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: team can have their morning.
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: I know they're that they're going to be productive, but
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: it's really to do your stuff too, because then you
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: can show up better.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Totally.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: It's so I have to support myself in order to
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: support her mask on.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, that's a good way to put a
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: good analogy.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: So it is.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what day in December it is, but
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: you guys mentioned earlier having personal and work goals for
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: the new year.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Is that something you sit.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Down together and do or do talk about or I
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: want to know them so well?
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: I think I think that's kind of why I was like, oh,
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: let's come it up.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: On our ear.
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: Like you know, your review.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: So formal, but I think they're yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: but I feel like I feel.
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: Like we do them quarterly informally we can talk about
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: that stuff a good amount, but maybe we do do informally. Yeah,
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: But also for you, we had like a big meeting
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: this past week.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: We did this last week more more goals of like
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: career trajectory and like what what our actual vision and
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: direction is because I love a lot of things and
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: I can get very distracted and so talk about like
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: needing some parameters. When people have direction, it's easy to
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: be productive, but when it's it's a little floaty, it's hard.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: So we've had like sort of trajectory vision goal meetings,
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: but I think like, yeah, I think like debrief of
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: the year and like what we're looking forward to next year.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: I think we'll probably do that relatively soon.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you guys looking forward to for twenty
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: twenty six?
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Hmmm, we can do.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: A work end personal Yeah.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: Work. For me, I feel like.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: My confidence kind of was in like a stagnant place
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: when it came to me as like an entertainer and
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: a performer and an artist. I think I went into
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: like hosting and business and you know, Kinergy innovation, and
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: I went more like cerebral like building versus like expression
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: kind of yeah. And so so I think that like
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: confidence kind of went a little stagnant. And I don't
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: know what happened in the last few months, but I mean,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: I think Dancing with the Stars was a big part,
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: but there was there was some like healing stuff that
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: I did personally and something just like some worthy news
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: stuff came out, and I just feel so inspired to
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: be the entertainer and performer that I am. And so
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I think this year, I'm so excited to be really
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: intentional about making sure those things are actualized. And I
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: don't just like take a like a seat back, because
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: this I know I can make happen.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: I have to put energy back into it.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: And my team knows that now, and like we're going
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: to be focusing on those hardist performing.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Things.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: So that for career for me is what I'm I'm
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: really looking forward to. And then on the personal side,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: love baby, Like I just I think that, like I
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: I'm really in a great place to give and receive love,
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: and I don't think I was in that place for
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: a few years, and so I'm like ready and open
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited for you.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, once you get back to your core and you
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: start feeling yourself again and loving yourself.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Again and actually believing that you're all these things which
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just really excited for twenty twenty six for you.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: What you just said also goes on in hand.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like this is totally this is your year.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the last year was This last year was the
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: year of baby.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: Oh wait it was, and this is a year of
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: the Yeah.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's so right on because I'm
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: also so a nine personally and collectively. Everyone is in
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: a nine year, which is the end of a cycle.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: My whole year was about excavation. I cleaned, cleared, sold
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: my house, like all these things that were just still
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: connected to this old cycle and paradigm just clearly did.
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: I really did, to the point I took a mirror,
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: her closetror and a lamp, a couple of bowls, a
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: lot of time, our closet so much that like all
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: she wears is cream, and then she was going to
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: a bachelorette.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: No, it's like girls like I don't have any color.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: This girl cannot be that girl.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: A lot of good oh so much. I see those creams.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: I got Kate black, you know all of it.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: You guys are literally wearing the same. It's like, I'm
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: proud of you for wearing a color.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: It's black.
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: I am always black always.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: I love it. But what about you? What are your goals?
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: My goals?
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: I think work wise, I think like we collectively me
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: but we collectively like I think we found our We're
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: going to find our groove.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: I think the first half of the year it was
• 55:15
  Speaker 6: just kind of.
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: The warm up for me at least, and to really,
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: like I say this to you before, like understand the
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: key players in the game, and now I am confident
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: I have that down and like the relationships and so
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: going into twenty twenty six, there's such a solid foundation
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: versus Slash, and there's no foundation for me that I'm
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: just excited, Like I believe I say this to you,
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: but I believe in you so much. And it's fun
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: to work for someone that's so talented, Like I have
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: friends that work in the industry, and you know, there's
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: a bunch of roles you can have as a celebrity,
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: but she's so talented. So it's it's fun to leave
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: every day, and like, yeah, I think, just work for
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: someone that's genuinely.
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: Seriously, it's really really cool.
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: There's just more purpose to it, At least for me,
• 56:00
  Speaker 5: it makes you more motivated your job.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: If you believe in.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: The person that you're working with and believe in their
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: goals and share those goals, it just makes you better
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: at your job.
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: I just like I have faith in this brand. Me too.
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: And then personally, I think just kind of fostering all
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: my relationships.
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: I like, moved here and didn't really know anyone, and
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: then when did you move here?
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: Right before COVID?
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, and then I went home.
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: I went home after COVID or during COVID because I
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: just didn't want to be alone out here. And then
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: I came back and just kind of built my life.
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: But I'm proud of.
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: What I built out here, fred wise.
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: And relationship wise.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: So just fostering that, I think, like keeping those strong
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: and it's it's also work, but it's fun for me.
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: I get so much from that. It's cool.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: You have a very fun job. Thanks, very fun boss.
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: I know I'm lucky.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I guess my last questions while I have you gals
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: before we eat, because I am very hungry. What advice
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: would you give someone who wants to grow up and
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: be a Jewels or wants to grow.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Up and be a Lindsay, my goodness, I would say,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't understand the value of mentors, and I always
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: felt like I had to do everything on my own,
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: and that could not be further from the truth of Like, obviously,
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: choose the right.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: People to surround yourself with.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: And the only way you can do that is by
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: being hungry enough to learn and understand and know who
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: you are and know what motivates you and drives you
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: and what inspires you. But I would say, like, put
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: yourself in proximity with people that you want to be around,
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: that you look up to, ask questions, be curious. You
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: know there people there are certain models of certain careers.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Take one that you admire and learn how they did.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that you're going.
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: To be them.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: You are your own, unique, individual superstar. But there usually
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: is a bit of a pathway and just to get started,
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: like just see how they started, you know what I mean,
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: And like, there's that's one way if you don't, if
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: you really like don't know how to start. The other
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: way is like just balls to the walls. You know,
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: like believe in yourself and like have that little bit
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: of delusion of anything as possible and like put it
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: out there, believe in it.
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: Go but again, put yourself in proximity.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: So like if you're living in Nebraska, like move to
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: wherever you need to move to, you know, put yourself
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: in the mix. And it's also like put your yourself
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: out there. It's like in a relationship, put yourself out there.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Try not to be like desperate and then try to
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: will it. But just like put yourself out there, heart open,
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: like ready to go, and like be in a great
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: state of again, anything is possible, gratitude, look up, see
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: the beauty, live your life and and like magnetize it.
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: You know, Like I know that that sounds super woo
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: woo hippity dippity, but like there's a reason, there's a
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: reason people are. Like, man, the stars just felt aligned
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: when I came here, and that they did for me.
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: I had a lot of preparation.
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: So obviously, whatever your talent is, like work hard and
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: skill and work on your craft. But then like open
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: your palms, don't have a tight grip, open your poms,
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: come out here, trust and know that like you are worthy,
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: you are unique, and.
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: Just put yourself in proximity. Yeah, I love that.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Manifestation is real.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: It really is just starts and you.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Believe in yourself.

• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: behind a screen like physically, like yeah, move and get there.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 6: I think that's just what's hard nowadays.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: I would say my answer for that, just to hone
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: in on one thing specific is she.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 6: Said it, but be curious.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: I am, by nature a curious person, but that doesn't
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 5: she knows everything.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: But but this is because she asks so many questions.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: It's questions. I listen to a lot of podcasts.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: I read a lot of articles, like I follow certain
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: Instagram accounts that will give me that information. So I'm
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: always surrounding myself with things that, yeah, feed me information.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: So I know things and that actually has helped me.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: Literally, we we it's our joke. We're like, Lindsay knows everything?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: How do you know everything? It's my greatest Will.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: You send me those accounts that you find.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: But it's also like it's just asking people about them
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: or you know, you.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: Learn so much when you listen, So just go and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: listen and I asked, you know, you got no conversation.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: You ask one question, it sparwls into conversation.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: You talked about Jesse Itzler.
