Welcome everyone to Buying Local.
0:01
I'm your host Mike Nelson from 5 Towers Media, joined today by
0:05
Brandon and Brandon I, I probably say this every show,
0:08
but so if I mess up your last name, I apologize ahead of time,
0:11
but. Duye, Duye.
0:12
Hey there you. Go I got it all right.
0:15
I'm like taper 2 here on episodes last week.
0:17
So I got it correct too here with Brandon Duye.
0:21
Brandon, I, I feel like, you know, a lot of people know who
0:24
you are, but just for the couple that maybe don't, why don't you
0:28
go ahead and introduce who you are, what you do, your business,
0:32
all the things. OK, Well, thank you first of all
0:35
for having me. It's lovely to connect with you.
0:38
And yes, my name is Brandon Duy. I'm owner of Moxie.
0:40
I've been in business for 12 years.
0:42
I'm mainly A stylist, so I support people with their
0:45
apparel feeling more confident and connected with their
0:48
clothing. And then this last year I added
0:51
on. It was officially, I added on in
0:54
terms of organization, decluttering, staging, kind of
0:57
all the things that just go with our environment.
0:58
I think there's a huge component to just really how we feel in
1:01
our space, how we show up. And to me, it's a skill that
1:04
we're not ten, we don't tend to be taught what feels really good
1:07
on our bodies, what goes well together.
1:08
And also in our environment, what brings us joy?
1:11
Do we have a place for everything?
1:12
Are we kind of living among chaos and and clutter?
1:14
And I think that there's that, that to me has an impact on our
1:18
well-being and confidence and etcetera, etcetera, right.
1:21
And so some of my background is before I moved to the area.
1:25
I'm originally from Vermont, proud Vermonter.
1:27
And when I moved to the area, I left the industry of health, a
1:32
little bit of Wellness. I was a personal trainer for 14
1:35
years, very successful, loved it.
1:37
But when I moved here, I wasn't really willing to start all over
1:39
again. And one thing that Saratoga had
1:41
in common at the time with Burlington, Vt, is a lot of
1:44
trainers and a lot of salons. And I just felt like I just, you
1:47
know, I'm ready to go a different direction.
1:49
So the, the career launched, if you will, but I've always, of
1:53
course, had a connection to the Wellness environment.
1:55
That's always been really important to me.
1:57
And anyway, this last year I saw I reside actually up in the
2:00
Queensbury Glens Falls area. I've always worked out of
2:02
Saratoga and cater to the Capital Region and in person and
2:05
virtual and, and my sweetie was up here.
2:08
And so nine years ago I joined him up here and to the Glens
2:11
Falls area and in in the in between, I was moving my
2:14
business from Saratoga up to Glens Falls and checking out
2:17
spaces and stuff. So I just snagged something
2:19
really quick in Saratoga Koga turn a new leaf, Erin.
2:21
She's amazing. And she introduced me to the
2:25
Vibro Acoustic machine, the sound lounge machine, which is
2:28
amazing by a company called In Harmony.
2:31
And I thought, Oh my gosh, this is amazing.
2:33
And she was generous enough to put it out to all of us and say,
2:36
hey, if you want to extend this to your clients, go for it.
2:38
So I have, I'm in two locations right now waiting for my
2:42
permanent home in Glens Falls. And yeah, today I'd love to
2:45
spend a little time just spreading the word about the
2:48
amazing Vibro Acoustic experience.
2:51
It's cutting edge and it's amazing.
2:54
And it's the first up in the Glens Falls, Queensboro area and
2:58
it's it's amazing. It's great.
3:00
So, so help me understand that. So what is it?
3:02
What does it do? It's, I mean, obviously, you
3:05
know, wild bread. So it's got, it's got it's
3:06
shakes. Yeah, it shakes, right.
3:08
Nothing sexual. Not that that's a bad thing, but
3:11
yeah, essentially in all seriousness.
3:12
So it's FDA approved. It's it's considered a medical
3:16
level 1 device, which of course is important.
3:18
And Michael, I think one of the really great things about it is
3:20
when especially and I think in our society now from my opinion,
3:24
we get so inundated on, hey, this is the lightest and the
3:27
best and you got to do this and you got to do that.
3:28
And I personally feel we're in a information overload and
3:32
sometimes we can kind of feel like, oh, that, that more is
3:34
better. So one thing I personally really
3:36
love about it is actually you don't have to do a darn thing.
3:38
You literally just have to show up and lie down.
3:40
So what it consists of is you're basically lying on kind of a
3:44
glorified cozy massage table. You're, you're fully clothed.
3:48
You are covered in nice cozy, warm blankets, weighted blanket,
3:53
if that's of comfort to you. And with the, with the, what it
3:56
is, is you're essentially taking in through headphones and the
4:00
bed actually itself vibrates and the connection of that it's
4:03
synchronized. So you have different types of
4:04
tracks and different durations. And what it helps to do is a
4:08
very long list. So they've they're they're
4:10
finding wonderful experience with anxiety, sleep issues,
4:15
PTSDADHD issues in children, regulating the nervous system
4:19
essentially. So it's a way to really break
4:22
your brain. Have a rest.
4:23
We all know sleep is extremely important, right?
4:26
Rest is extremely important. Yet are we all really good at
4:28
it? Not so much, right?
4:30
And, and yet it's, it's literally the only time that
4:32
your body can relax. It's the only time that your
4:34
body can heal. So essentially you're just
4:36
laying back and, and taking it in.
4:38
Some people completely conk out. Some people notice they're going
4:41
in and out a little bit, kind of like when you get a massage and
4:43
you're, you know, you're just relaxing, right?
4:45
You're chilling out, but you literally don't have to do
4:47
anything. And so you can do kind of an
4:49
express, which is under 30 minutes, or you can go longer,
4:51
you can do a 45 or a 90 minute. And what people notice that they
4:55
feel is a sense of calm, a sense of rejuvenation.
4:59
Most people, of course, I'm, I'm asking all the questions, OK,
5:02
tell me everything. How was it and following up with
5:04
them. And so most people really notice
5:05
like, yeah, I just felt more chill throughout the day.
5:08
I felt more focused, kind of like when you have a good nap,
5:10
right, you feel more rested. Lot to be said for the the brain
5:14
power, the rest, the mental agility.
5:17
And then so of course the experience is something where
5:20
there's a lot of different types of tracks.
5:21
You can do things that are like more spiritual or more, you
5:25
know, water running a little babbling bricks, or you can do
5:28
something a little bit more cosmic.
5:29
They have things that can be really energizing and
5:33
inspirational. I personally kind of like the
5:35
cosmic zone out. I don't want to be like charged
5:38
or anything like that, but it's great.
5:39
It's a it's a really, it's a big rest for your brain and you also
5:42
you might may I be familiar with the concept of regulating beats.
5:45
If you've ever heard like in one side of the the ear and then
5:48
you're doing something different in the other.
5:50
So there's also that whole Ave. as well.
5:52
There's over 300 tracks, a lot of really cool scientific
5:55
behindings, excuse me, behind it that they're they're
5:58
experimenting with. So it's been really cool.
6:00
Yeah, yeah. I am a little familiar with the
6:03
beats side of things. And you know, there's different
6:06
like frequencies that you can listen to and depending on what
6:08
they are, they do different things.
6:11
And so so you're lying on a bed and you're wearing headphones.
6:16
Yeah, you're wearing these nice cozy headphones.
6:17
Everything is sanitized, everything gets changed over all
6:20
new bedding, disposable headphone covers.
6:23
If you'd like to do a little IMF, you try to make it as
6:25
customized as possible. Some people really love the
6:28
sensation of having some weight on them.
6:29
That can be really comforting. Some people don't want that.
6:32
Some people love the idea of having a little eye mask just to
6:35
help to kind of chill you out a little bit more.
6:36
Some people don't want that. So it's all customized and and
6:39
you have a lot of options. But yeah, you're literally just
6:41
kind of tucked in for a nice cozy nap, just like much if you
6:44
were to crawl into bed and you're just going to throw some
6:47
cozy covers on you and, you know, conk out for a little bit.
6:50
Yeah, and don't. Over think it, Michael.
6:53
Don't over think I know at. All like I'm envisioning it on
6:57
my global. So what kind of, so you said
7:01
there's like different tracks and things that you can listen
7:03
to. So walk me through like, how
7:05
does how do you help someone decide or how do they decide on
7:09
what it is that they want going through their ears and they're
7:11
laying there. Yeah, great question.
7:12
So I think that sometimes less is best and I think sometimes we
7:16
can get a little too in our heads.
7:17
So I just talked to the creator Craig of eHarmony and excuse me
7:21
Inharmony. Inharmony is the the name of the
7:23
company and he was sharing the other day.
7:25
Well, we are, we are getting into exploring the, the notion,
7:30
OK, gosh, I'm walking in and I'm feeling anxious.
7:33
How do I want to feel? So we could actually support
7:36
kind of picking your little menu, if you will.
7:38
What I decided to do when I approached this with clients and
7:42
the community is I didn't want to overwhelm them and I didn't
7:45
want them to get too in their head.
7:46
So basically what I did is just came up with a 22 minute track.
7:50
That way they could kind of have a taste of it.
7:51
And that way you don't feel. And of course I say, hey, you
7:53
don't have to deal with this. Like if you're not enjoying
7:55
this, get up like we can be done.
7:58
But it's just that they had a little bit of a sense of it,
8:00
just like it tastes much like with you going to get a massage
8:02
or anything else. You know, more is not always
8:03
better, right, Especially if you just haven't done it before.
8:07
And so the track I picked is very kind of chill, if you will.
8:10
It's not really theatrical, it's not really intense.
8:13
It's not all over the place. And it's something that you can
8:16
kind of just like nap to and chill out too.
8:19
So to answer your question yet, and that one, you know, and
8:21
there is this whole component in terms of like, gosh, I mean,
8:24
there's tracks that can connect it to like the inspiring you or
8:28
relaxing you or resetting your shocker is that that's kind of
8:31
your thing. So there is a massive deep dive
8:34
of over the 300 tracks. I do have the ability, if I
8:37
wanted to, to put a menu in front of people and say, Hey,
8:39
gosh, I mean, I do have some clients who said, OK, I kind of
8:41
OK, I've done the beats thing. That's really cool.
8:44
And now I want to do this over here.
8:45
But again, I just don't want to overwhelm people, right?
8:47
Because sometimes we can get 2 in our heads and we all want to
8:50
be good students and, you know, get our our maximum time in
8:52
there. And sometimes I think there's
8:54
something to be said for like, you know, what kind of let me
8:56
just chill out and see how I feel.
8:57
So most people do after the 22 minute track, they've really
9:01
have enjoyed it. And, and I would say the whole
9:02
experience, you know, it's good to like just set aside about 30
9:05
minutes for your first time. And then most people, what they
9:08
find is they like to go a little bit longer.
9:10
It's almost like having that concept of a 5 minute nap, you
9:12
know, you kind of realize maybe 20 minutes.
9:14
I'm getting a little bit more of a, a vibe there.
9:16
And then and so and we can play around with different types of
9:18
tracks having that conversation. One person said, I did not like
9:22
that track. I felt like I was at the
9:24
Symphony and waiting for the music to start and it was never
9:26
going. And it's like, cool, that's
9:28
really great information. So we found her a different
9:30
track and she loves it. So it's all it's all it can be
9:33
customized. But I think again, that first
9:35
time, I'm usually just having them experiment with it and then
9:37
we can kind of go from there. Does that answer your question?
9:40
Yeah, I think so. Where he looks like first time
9:42
in the door. You kind of have like, we'll say
9:45
an out-of-the-box solution that you're going to have them try
9:48
just so they have a frame of reference or a starting right?
9:51
As opposed to trying to, you know, throw darts in the dark,
9:54
so to speak. And then from there you can work
9:56
to customize it in it is so is that first first visit the 22
10:03
minute track that you have people do?
10:04
Is it like music and like what? What would they be listening to?
10:09
I guess. So do you do you remember the
10:13
the Carl got it started? It's Carl S He was.
10:17
It was a really popular cosmic documentary that was made in the
10:22
70s. Carl Sagan.
10:24
Yes, thank you. Do you remember that?
10:25
Do you remember some of the music in that?
10:28
Vaguely. Vaguely.
10:29
OK, well, some of it's kind of it kind of just sounds like
10:32
cosmic Y and it sounds very like, so you go to a massage,
10:36
you go to a spa, right? We're all kind of generally
10:39
familiar with that music where it's not really intense, it's
10:41
not really theatrical and it's kind of just something you can
10:44
kind of like background is that you can kind of just chill out
10:46
to what happens is in all seriousness, they've coordinated
10:49
what you're listening to and the vibration of the bed.
10:52
And so there's gentle vibration that goes to the bed.
10:55
You're in a private space. It's very serene, calmly
10:58
environment. You're in your own private room.
11:00
And So what happens is of course, I'm explaining to them,
11:02
OK, this is how this is going to work.
11:04
This is what you can expect and then I we get everything
11:07
situated, make sure the volume, everything, the headphones,
11:09
everything feels comfortable and then I stay there for a couple
11:12
of seconds because I want to make sure the volumes
11:14
comfortable, the vibrations comfortable.
11:15
Again, more is not always best. They recommend starting out with
11:18
about 20 to 25% of the intensity of that vibration.
11:22
Most people haven't done more vibration because they kind of
11:24
you know, it kind of almost feels like a gentle massage.
11:26
So you're feeling a little bit of a current running through the
11:29
under under, you know, because you're laying on a bed that that
11:31
has the the tones in it, if you will, And then the the music
11:35
that you're taking in, again, much like a kind of a spa
11:38
experience. You're not really thinking too
11:40
much of it. And I just wanted to start with
11:42
something that was kind of vanilla where you're not too
11:44
stimulated, but there absolutely are those tracks that can be
11:47
like that and you have certain kind of played all around.
11:49
And what you'll notice is the vibration will be different on
11:52
some of them because again, they are coordinated.
11:54
The beats that we talked about. So you can do like a 60 beats or
11:57
an 80 Hertz or 120. Those are all designed for
12:00
different things. So a 60 is designed more to like
12:04
kind of chilly you out. So really good to do at the end
12:06
of the day. Maybe in 80 we're doing earlier
12:08
in the day where you kind of want some motivation, you want
12:10
to wake up a little bit more, start your day.
12:12
So there is intention in terms of how it's designed.
12:16
Well, that's cool. And it sounds kind of like you
12:18
mentioned massage, right? It kind of sounds similar.
12:21
You're in a you're in a room, you're on a bed, you kind of
12:24
laying while you're pretty comfy.
12:25
And it also sounds like it's almost kind of like meditative
12:30
in nature because it's kind of abstracting your senses a little
12:32
bit and kind of distracting your brain.
12:35
So you're either feeling the vibration or you're hearing the
12:39
the sounds that are going in. And that's kind of taking you
12:41
out of your day-to-day brain space that we all spend too much
12:46
time in. Yeah, you got it.
12:47
And it's been really cool to talk to people who we're all
12:51
different walks of life, right? Like it's, it's, I think it's
12:54
very common for people to say, I have a really hard time shutting
12:57
off my mind. Or I've had some people and say,
12:59
yeah, I'll try it, but I, you know, I do not relax.
13:01
We're worth a lick. And, you know, we'll see how it
13:03
is. And so even just for them to
13:04
say, oh, that was so cool. I was able to like really shut
13:07
off my mind. And, and that radiates
13:09
throughout your day, right? There's that much like a nap or,
13:12
or something that we're, we're engaging in.
13:14
There's, there's, there's a ripple of benefits there.
13:17
So yeah, anytime that we can disengage from our mind, kind of
13:19
kind of have a rest, have an interrupt and also be nurturing
13:23
our bodies and our mind and our immune systems.
13:25
Great, right. So, yeah, it's, and I think
13:27
that's one of the things too is that you're not, I mean, again,
13:29
if you're can walk in and be like, OK, I just want to chill
13:32
out in this experience again, much like if we get a massage,
13:34
the more present you are, the more chill out you can be great.
13:37
However, sometimes we can't just really downshift that quickly,
13:40
right? And, and we come in a little bit
13:42
more flustered or we have a lot on our mind, or maybe it depends
13:44
on the time of day, but you're still going to notice a benefit.
13:47
And I've been, of course, experimenting with like
13:49
different times of day and different tracks and different
13:51
duration because I want to of course, absorb as much as
13:53
possible. And I tend to be in full
13:54
transparency, a little skeptical about a lot of things.
13:57
I think we should be as a consumer.
13:59
So it's been really fun to be like, oh, I'm actually kind of
14:01
pleasantly surprised about this. And also durations and also
14:04
frequency, right? I mean, in a perfect world,
14:06
there's some people who have purchased these for their homes
14:08
and they do them every day. It's recommended.
14:11
If you can do it a couple times a week, great.
14:13
But I have people that have been noticing a huge result, even if
14:15
they're doing it like one time a week.
14:17
That's where I think we also have to kind of figure out what
14:19
makes sense for me and what's realistic, right, with my
14:22
bandwidth and my time and my energy and the logistics and all
14:25
the things. What now?
14:28
Do you couple this with other kinds of therapies?
14:30
Like do you do any light stuff as well or or getting it?
14:33
Or is it just you keep this isolated and just this by
14:36
itself? Yeah, great question.
14:38
So I did just bring in the red light therapy.
14:40
The Inharmony company also offers the red light therapy.
14:43
And So what I decided to do was get, you can get one that's like
14:47
a big basically a body panel. And and so that could in theory,
14:52
they designed it where it could be over hovering over the bed
14:56
and a mechanic that can raise up or down.
14:58
I decided to do panels because I didn't want it to be.
15:01
I think there's something to be said for one, feeling really
15:03
safe, feeling really comfortable.
15:05
Your temperature of course, drops anytime we kind of are
15:07
lying down or we check out. And I wanted to make sure people
15:10
felt just really cocooned and comfortable because that also
15:12
can kind of wake us up and, you know, take us out of the
15:14
experience too, right? So what I decided to do is
15:16
panels and panel there's, it's basically like a large computer
15:20
screen. And so they can be moved around.
15:22
And so yeah, red light therapy, another awesome benefit.
15:26
And so that can be time. Usually it's best to do it like
15:29
after the session and we can set them at different distances.
15:32
So somebody might like to sit in a chair, they're sitting in a
15:34
nice heated warm blanket as exposed as you feel comfortable
15:38
to with your skin, the more because they can't go through
15:40
clothing. So that's going to be the best.
15:43
And of course, you're left in a private space and we can set
15:46
them at different distances, so you could use just your face if
15:48
you wanted to. Obviously there's benefits in
15:50
doing your whole body and then usually it's doing a Max of 30
15:53
minutes, but even if someone did 15 minutes, they're still going
15:55
to get benefits. Red light therapy, there's been
15:57
a lot of studies also showing with sleep patterns, energy fine
16:00
lines, cell renewal, hair growth course, you don't have that
16:03
problem, which is great. Not a lot of men can say that
16:05
it's. Getting a little thin.
16:08
We got a game in there, Michael, and also supporting, of course,
16:12
organs, muscle, muscle fatigue. And there's a long list of
16:15
benefits with that as well. And same thing.
16:17
You're not, you know, I have some people who are like, OK, so
16:20
I just want to sit back and I want to Zen out and I want to
16:23
put on a podcast or I want to do a meditation.
16:25
Other people, they want to be checking in her e-mail like, you
16:28
know, maybe they want to be stretching and doing some
16:30
different body work. So I wanted to create that as
16:32
space where you could be sitting and a nice cozy warm chair, or
16:35
if you want to be on the ground, you can be doing that spread
16:38
out. And then you're also on a nice
16:39
heated warm blanket. And of course, everything's
16:41
sanitized and changed over and all that too.
16:43
Yeah, what now, you mentioned that you have the Vibre Acoustic
16:48
and a couple of locations and that you're being also working
16:51
on your own location. Where where where do you have
16:56
the Vibre Acoustic stuff right now?
16:58
So there is on Maple in Saratoga right off exit 15, which is
17:02
great to get to because you don't have to deal with the
17:03
downtown. You have your, you know, easy in
17:06
and out parking. And so I have access to that.
17:09
It's a little bit more limited because there's more
17:10
practitioners at that location, but it's something that gets
17:13
scheduled directly through me. And then I have an A location
17:17
that's right off exit, excuse me, 18 on Main Street, which is
17:20
right literally it's barely even a half a mile off the off the
17:23
exit there. And so that has a little bit
17:25
more flexibility for Stitch because it's just with me.
17:28
Yeah. And you know, each location has
17:30
a different vibe, but you can do both services at each.
17:33
OK. And so I assume it's by
17:35
appointment only. How do people schedule an
17:39
appointment? Just send me an e-mail.
17:41
Just reach out, OK All right, you know, bringing it back, old
17:44
school Michael, like more is not always better.
17:46
Don't don't DM me, don't text me, don't Facebook me.
17:49
Like, I mean, in all seriousness, I, I think that
17:52
we're really thirsty for just those connections and
17:54
simplicity. And so I'm really I I'm really
17:57
striving to just simplify things as a business owner.
17:59
I don't want a huge team. I have a small team.
18:01
I love my small team. More is not always better.
18:04
And I also want to give individual service and I want to
18:06
make sure, you know, with scheduling that everything is
18:08
streamlined and, and we don't have any mistakes there.
18:11
So yeah, just drop me an e-mail. That's the best way.
18:13
Inquire to moxie@gmail.com or website.
18:16
Of course, find your moxie.net. OK, all right.
18:20
And I'll make sure that Taylor puts that in the show notes as
18:22
well. And I'm just, you know, thinking
18:24
about the conversation. I think it sounds really cool by
18:28
the way, but I'm just I'm curious.
18:32
So you but you're also a style like you do a lot of things,
18:35
right? So you're a stylist.
18:37
You really kind of, it sounds like helping people, for lack of
18:43
a better term, help people get their shit together, you know,
18:46
like it. Help helping them, help them
18:48
look good, help them stay organized, decluttering their
18:51
environment, the Wellness side of things.
18:54
How does it, how do you like tie it all together and manage all
18:57
those moving pieces? Yeah, that's a great question.
19:01
I to be completely transparent with you, there was a time where
19:04
I really shield away from somebody who did a couple
19:07
different things. I was like, hmm, so you sell
19:09
oils and you do backhoes. Like, I don't know, no
19:12
judgement. But you know, and then I mean,
19:15
you know, I've been in business for 12 years.
19:17
I, I've lived a little bit. I feel like I know a lot of
19:19
things. I I've lived a lot of life
19:21
experience. I've gotten trained in a lot of
19:23
different areas. Not that more is better, but
19:26
it's, it's, it's really hard to see people challenged and
19:29
struggling. And I, you know, it's my heart
19:31
goes out. And that doesn't mean I'm by no
19:32
means trying to be something to everybody, but to me, if some of
19:36
these things come easily and, and these things do and it's
19:39
it's it doesn't impose on my bandwidth and my my capabilities
19:43
and someone's open to it, then great.
19:44
So yeah, I don't know how do I tie it together?
19:47
I actually don't know how to answer that.
19:49
It just it, it kind of works. And so this last, so I went
19:52
through, you know, back story, a little bit of a side note.
19:54
I went through a really challenging time with aging
19:56
parents. We had a really unique
19:58
situation. I definitely got to got maxed
20:00
out and taxed and tested as a lot of us do in that situation.
20:03
By no means is that unique at all, but it really gave me an
20:06
opportunity to really re evaluate.
20:09
What feels good, what do people need and what makes sense?
20:12
And also what's in my bandwidth? I mean, I love helping people
20:15
with their image. It also takes a lot of energy
20:17
and it's very emotional, right? And, and I think it can be a
20:22
very intimidating topic. I mean, the more that I can get
20:25
in front of people, people tend to think of a stylist.
20:27
I think, oh God, it's going to cost a lot of money and that's
20:29
only for the rich and famous. And she's probably going to
20:32
judge me because I only shop at Target and, and like, I, I
20:34
started the business because I really wanted to help the
20:37
everyday person, like just really trying to survive every
20:39
day life. And so to me, the more that I
20:41
can put, put be in front of people so that they can connect
20:45
with me and realize like, oh, actually she's kind of like, you
20:47
know, she's kind of chill and she's, she's kind of down to
20:50
earth. And, and so if I can connect
20:52
with them and when they reach out and they're like, I just
20:54
need you to do, to clutter my pantry, that's, I mean, it's,
20:56
it's intimidating to have someone in your home, right?
20:58
It's really personal. We're talking about image and
21:01
and, and organization and you know how you roll in life,
21:04
whether it's your clothing or your space money, I mean, all
21:07
the things come up. So I think that there's value in
21:10
like a course. We do business with who we know
21:12
and trust and who we feel comfortable with.
21:14
And So what tend to tends to happen, it's a very organic
21:16
where where a lot of the conversations just, you know,
21:20
one thing leads to another and there's other areas that I
21:22
happen to be able to help them. By no means am I trying to come
21:25
in hot and heavy and but I'm able to help people with a lot
21:28
of things. And I was just as an example, I
21:30
was just talking to a client the other day and she was asking me
21:33
if I would be willing to help her or something.
21:34
And I was like, always ask like I'm very protective of my
21:37
bandwidth and, and what I'm able to do fiercely because I've,
21:40
I've done the other, the other side of it and it, I paid for
21:44
it, but feel free to ask. And she said, well, there's
21:46
something to be said for like knowing that you can delegate
21:48
right in how many things can we delegate in our busy society?
21:53
So we can open up more bandwidth, so we can be more
21:55
present in our relationships and, and do better, right?
21:58
When we feel better, we do better.
21:59
And so there's a lot to be tied into that.
22:01
So yeah, someone can say, hey, can can you, can you edit my
22:04
pantry? And can we also be doing my
22:06
closet? And can you also treat my shoes?
22:08
And could you help me with my house plants?
22:10
Sure. Like if I, if it's within my
22:12
skill set, I'm not going to do something I'm not qualified to
22:14
do or no. Right.
22:15
So it kind of sounds a little silly, right?
22:17
But then if we think about it, you know, that was the time we
22:19
went to the hardware store, right?
22:20
And we got, we got a lot of stuff at the hardware store.
22:23
We got fabric and, and, and dairy and grains and hammer.
22:27
And so, you know, I'm not saying I'm like the modern day Harper
22:30
store, but there's something to be said for that.
22:32
I think in all seriousness, right?
22:34
Yeah. No, I mean it sounded to me like
22:36
it all kind of was complementary to each other.
22:38
And and I mean, I do a lot of things.
22:40
We've got essentially 4 different businesses that were
22:43
running and you know, they all are complementary to each other,
22:46
but they're all very different things.
22:48
So it was somewhat self motivated my question because I
22:50
want to know how you handled it, you know, to help me out here.
22:57
I have really good people that I can rely on.
22:59
That's that makes a big difference.
23:01
And I also, I, I try to keep it really fun and I try to be very
23:05
realistic with my bandwidth and interest and, and yeah, and it
23:09
kind of works, which, you know, I'm not, I don't, I'm, I tend
23:13
to, I've always identified with being very practical, being a
23:16
massive planner, having a plan for everything.
23:19
And so it's kind of interesting to be existing in a place where
23:21
I'm not like throwing skating on the wall, but I'm also kind of
23:24
like, well, I'm trusting it's, it kind of works out because
23:26
sometimes when I've gotten too nitty gritty or tried to have
23:29
too rigid of a plan, it, it, it doesn't always work out that
23:32
way. And I kind of pay for it in a
23:33
different way. So it is a little bit in all
23:34
seriousness, it's interesting to be in a space where I'm like,
23:36
you know what, I'm just going to try this and recognize that I
23:38
can edit it because hey, we're like, we're the owners, right?
23:41
We get to do that. And also trusting that, you
23:43
know, I don't necessarily have to be able to have it all
23:46
completely figured out of like, well, the idea was born in 2010,
23:50
Michael. And then here we are like
23:52
that's, that's very new for me. That's very like vulnerable for
23:56
me not to have like a very specific, this was the
23:59
intention, this is how it happened and here we are.
24:02
So it is, it is, you know, it is unique.
24:04
So I can get back to you on that.
24:06
OK, that's fair. That's fair.
24:07
And. You need to, right?
24:10
Listen, I do solid business planning every single year for
24:13
my companies and I, it never goes the plan.
24:16
So, you know, you got to have that flexibility in there, I
24:19
guess. But it's, yeah, it sounds
24:22
fascinating. I had a question for you that
24:26
popped up into my brain and now I just lost it.
24:30
Well, you said it before, but I know we got a, we're getting
24:33
short on time, but if people want to find you, they want to
24:36
get your help in one of these areas, or they're interested in
24:38
the Viber acoustic, which I think sounds amazing.
24:41
One more time. How do they find you, Brandon?
24:44
Yeah, probably the easiest thing to do is just go to my website
24:46
because that I have, I have given kind of a general overview
24:49
of everything that I'm doing. So at least it's a really good
24:52
place to land. You know, websites, of course,
24:54
they're they're always in motion, which by the way, you
24:56
and I are going to talk at some point.
24:57
But it's it is something that it, it just gives a sense like
25:00
who the heck am I? Where do I begin?
25:02
So yeah, find your moxie.net is the website. e-mail is the best
25:06
way to make an appointment. Obviously I'm going to reply to
25:08
you if you call me or send me a text, of course.
25:11
But yeah, all socials and all those things are on there.
25:13
So find your moxie.net. Thank you.
25:15
And we're going to have to get you in there.
25:16
I know you're more familiar with the red light therapy, but you
25:19
know, if I have to bring the bed to you, I mean, that can be
25:21
done. Michael, listen, I'm willing to
25:22
give everything, anything, everything a try.
25:24
So no. And I am familiar with some of
25:28
the some of the things that you're talking about, whether
25:30
it's vibrational therapy or sound therapy and binaural beat,
25:34
binaural bina layer bina red beats and all that fun stuff.
25:38
I think, I think it's fascinating.
25:40
So yeah, I'd love to give it a try.
25:43
So I will send you an e-mail and we'll we'll.
25:45
Please send me an e-mail when I know where I find you.
25:47
You can text me. It's OK.
25:49
But I'll find you. But no.
25:50
And I think it does. It's cool.
25:52
That's all I'll say. It's very cool.
25:54
So he'll be like, I haven't met anyone yet who doesn't like it,
25:56
so let me. I bet.
25:57
So it doesn't, I mean, it doesn't sound awful.
25:59
That's for sure think a good challenge.
26:01
Thank you so much for having me. It's.
26:03
