- 0:37Speaker 4: for your dress throughout the year.
- 0:38Speaker 1: You gotta be at two o'clock, so you started nine
- 0:40Speaker 1: in the morning.
- 0:40Speaker 5: Yeah, you hear me. The glam genuinely.
- 0:42Speaker 3: I think they pulled up to my hotel room around
- 0:44Speaker 3: eight thirty am. We were in the chair by eight
- 0:46Speaker 3: forty five and then yeah, I was on my way
- 0:48Speaker 3: to the met by You know, we do the rounds,
- 0:50Speaker 3: we do the glam.
- 0:50Speaker 5: Bot do all the pictures, all that stuff.
- 0:52Speaker 3: But yeah, two o'clock we're in position at the met
- 0:54Speaker 3: How long it takes me, Laura, You'd be surprised how
- 0:57Speaker 3: last minute the glam is for us, because it's like, really,
- 1:01Speaker 3: the fashion is important, but I'm also super focused on
- 1:04Speaker 3: just like the job and like who's coming, what do
- 1:06Speaker 3: I need to know?
- 1:07Speaker 5: What do I need to ask them my dress?
- 1:10Speaker 3: This was the longest out I'd ever prepped.
- 1:13Speaker 5: I think a week and a half, two weeks out.
- 1:15Speaker 3: But sometimes I've had gowns that are getting the final touches,
- 1:18Speaker 3: like the.
- 1:18Speaker 5: Day before, two days before.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Last year, I wore an incredible designer, bish Me Cromarty
- 1:22Speaker 3: for the super Fine Black Taylor and he's incredible, was
- 1:25Speaker 3: on Project Runway out of Baltimore, so talented, and he
- 1:29Speaker 3: did a custom look. So that was him just working
- 1:31Speaker 3: up until those final few days.
- 1:33Speaker 5: So every year is different.
- 1:35Speaker 1: You've been doing this for like a decade.
- 1:36Speaker 6: How has social media changed what celebrities are willing to
- 1:39Speaker 6: say to you on your red car?
- 1:41Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:41Speaker 5: I love that question.
- 1:43Speaker 3: It has changed a lot, because that's part of the
- 1:46Speaker 3: reason people didn't stop last night. I think it's just
- 1:49Speaker 3: there's such a risk of things being taken out of context.
- 1:52Speaker 3: We live in a clip economy at this point, right, Like,
- 1:55Speaker 3: it is not often that people are like, wow, that
- 1:58Speaker 3: was an interesting sixty seconds. I have an idea about that,
- 2:01Speaker 3: but I think I'm going to go watch the full
- 2:02Speaker 3: hour long conversation first before I post a hot take, right,
- 2:06Speaker 3: And so I think people have become more cautious, They've
- 2:09Speaker 3: become more savvy, and I think they've that's also why
- 2:13Speaker 3: we're seeing more public figures and celebrities who traditionally would
- 2:17Speaker 3: not be behind a mic in the way that we
- 2:19Speaker 3: are getting behind the mics or going to their friends
- 2:22Speaker 3: to have the conversations behind the mics, because they really
- 2:25Speaker 3: need to trust that they have what they believe is
- 2:27Speaker 3: a safe space. Some might also argue a softball space, right, like,
- 2:31Speaker 3: you're not going to get asked the hard hitting questions
- 2:33Speaker 3: if it's your bestie who's doing the podcast conversation with you.
- 2:37Speaker 3: But that's just the world, the media landscape that I
- 2:40Speaker 3: think we live in, and I'm.
- 2:41Speaker 5: Sure y'all see it often here.
- 2:43Speaker 3: It often probably experience it often with your interviews, but
- 2:46Speaker 3: it definitely changes the level of transparency, you know. But
- 2:51Speaker 3: I will say, after eleven years of doing this, you
- 2:53Speaker 3: start to build the trust right where I take pride
- 2:56Speaker 3: in people coming to me like the Rock last night,
- 2:59Speaker 3: Dwayne was not really doing.
- 3:00Speaker 5: A ton of process.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Start not first name, No.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Dwayne the Rock Johnson, mister Johnson. He stopped and we've
- 3:10Speaker 3: got a great interview history. He met my dad and
- 3:12Speaker 3: Maui when I cover the Mawana two carpet. So over
- 3:15Speaker 3: the years, you start to get that feeling of Okay,
- 3:19Speaker 3: I can go to her, I can trust her.
- 3:20Speaker 5: She's gonna ask me smart questions.
- 3:22Speaker 3: They're gonna be fair, but I'm not gonna, you know,
- 3:25Speaker 3: pull a gotcha or anything like that.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:29Speaker 2: What were some of your favorite outfits for people that
- 3:31Speaker 2: are listing to driving into work right now? Baby didn't
- 3:34Speaker 2: they didn't see the met Gallo. What were some of
- 3:35Speaker 2: your favorite outfits and why for last night?
- 3:38Speaker 3: I mean, I loved it's so obvious, it's so on
- 3:40Speaker 3: the but Rihanna and asapp like they're always worth the way.
- 3:42Speaker 3: I love how you know they are always doing their
- 3:45Speaker 3: own thing and yet somehow feel very cohesive. I believe
- 3:48Speaker 3: Rihanna was in Mason Margella. I loved seeing Damson inddests.
- 3:53Speaker 3: I just I loved the hair. I loved the pop
- 3:55Speaker 3: of red. I thought it was understated outside.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Of was that diamonds? Beyonce was waren was that old diamonds.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I've seen a report that said it was all diamonds.
- 4:04Speaker 5: I would can't imagine it'd be anything less. I mean
- 4:07Speaker 5: Sarofsky Christo.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Perhaps, I don't know, but they said diamonds. I'm like,
- 4:11Speaker 1: that's about twenty yeah.
- 4:13Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, No. She looked incredible.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I mean she was shying a head to tell Blue
- 4:16Speaker 3: Ivy was a vibe for that to be her first
- 4:18Speaker 3: metal of a carpet.
- 4:19Speaker 5: I mean, she's so cool. She's so cool.
- 4:22Speaker 3: She's got such a presence and you can tell that
- 4:26Speaker 3: she like, I'm so excited to see her evolution, Like
- 4:29Speaker 3: her star power that she uses is so effortless.
- 4:32Speaker 5: The shade.
- 4:33Speaker 3: It was so sweet when I asked Beyonce, like, how
- 4:35Speaker 3: are you feeling tonight, and she said, I feel so good.
- 4:37Speaker 5: My baby's here.
- 4:38Speaker 3: She pointed to Blue and it was like Blue was
- 4:40Speaker 3: just doing her things solo on the carpet. Jay's watching
- 4:42Speaker 3: like a proud dad, and it's like we've all kind
- 4:44Speaker 3: of watched her grow up, so to see her in
- 4:47Speaker 3: a moment like that completely cool under pressure.
- 4:50Speaker 5: She was really fun to see.
- 4:51Speaker 2: One of the one other question, one of the Jenna
- 4:53Speaker 2: girls had like a body suit. Then it was like
- 4:55Speaker 2: a dress off of a bodysuit.
- 4:57Speaker 1: That I see something.
- 4:57Speaker 5: I thought people Kylie.
- 4:59Speaker 4: I don't know what the names she had, blond eyebrows, Yes,
- 5:03Speaker 4: you're talking about Kylie?
- 5:05Speaker 5: Wait wait wait wait? Who what with the body?
- 5:10Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 5:10Speaker 5: Yeah, that was Kylie Jenner. I don't know what. I
- 5:12Speaker 5: don't know what design that was.
- 5:14Speaker 3: She didn't stop and talk, And honestly, so much of
- 5:17Speaker 3: my job, like in the moment, if I am not
- 5:20Speaker 3: getting the information directly from them, I don't know until later,
- 5:23Speaker 3: right because in my ear, they're mostly like so and
- 5:25Speaker 3: sows on the carpet.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Try to get I remember, we're talking about the moment.
- 5:28Speaker 3: And then our guys in the studio are covering the
- 5:31Speaker 3: actual fashion details.
- 5:32Speaker 5: So I'm getting the how are you feeling, who are
- 5:34Speaker 5: you with? What was the prep?
- 5:36Speaker 3: Like?
- 5:36Speaker 5: Talk to the talk to me about the road to
- 5:37Speaker 5: the gala.
- 5:38Speaker 3: And then we'll toss back to the studio and they've
- 5:40Speaker 3: actually got the details being fed to them in real time.
- 5:43Speaker 3: So unless someone comes up to me and says I'm
- 5:45Speaker 3: with Michael Cores and I'm wearing Michael Core's I'm finding
- 5:48Speaker 3: out honestly a lot of the time like the rest
- 5:50Speaker 3: of y'all.
- 5:50Speaker 5: Like right Afterirelliarelli.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that looks Scaparelli too, I mean so structural.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Yeah, she was rus.
- 5:58Speaker 6: I want to ask about you, it was some moment
- 6:00Speaker 6: in your career where you felt underestimated, and how do
- 6:02Speaker 6: you feel that.
- 6:04Speaker 5: I think you know this one, Charlemagne.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I think in New York, like when I was, and
- 6:11Speaker 3: I don't know if it was underestimated. So much is
- 6:13Speaker 3: underutilized through no fault of like the networks. But you know,
- 6:17Speaker 3: I was at MTV. I had signed this overall deal.
- 6:20Speaker 3: I was super excited about it. I thought, this is
- 6:22Speaker 3: like my big break. I've actually been talking about it
- 6:25Speaker 3: on my Instagram, like this plot twist series because there's
- 6:28Speaker 3: some changes coming my way with my career soon too
- 6:31Speaker 3: that I'm actually excited about. But I felt underestimated because
- 6:36Speaker 3: it's like put me in coach, like I know what
- 6:37Speaker 3: I can do if I'm just given the right opportunities.
- 6:41Speaker 3: And I just think it was a lack of opportunity.
- 6:43Speaker 3: It wasn't a time where there was a ton of development.
- 6:46Speaker 3: You were a blessing, right Those opportunities with MTV and
- 6:49Speaker 3: MTV two, with everything that you had going on, really
- 6:52Speaker 3: helped shape me in that moment and sort of give
- 6:55Speaker 3: me a confidence that I was kind of losing in
- 6:57Speaker 3: that moment. Quite frankly, but I think I've always been
- 7:01Speaker 3: kind of underestimated. I'm traditionally I've been shyer than people expect,
- 7:06Speaker 3: and so growing up, the most you would hear me
- 7:09Speaker 3: talk is if I was on stage or on screen.
- 7:11Speaker 3: I think that's probably why I pursue this career. It
- 7:13Speaker 3: was kind of like permission to take up space. And
- 7:16Speaker 3: so because of that, when I would come into a room,
- 7:18Speaker 3: I would always be undrestent.
- 7:19Speaker 5: She gonna talk? Now what she gonna say? He wants
- 7:21Speaker 5: to my come on.
- 7:22Speaker 6: I never understood that, though, because I never understood why
- 7:24Speaker 6: MTV just didn't use you the way he was using you.
- 7:26Speaker 1: You could have been doing the same thing in the
- 7:27Speaker 1: Red Carbage.
- 7:28Speaker 3: That's that's true, But you know, like, did we have
- 7:31Speaker 3: shows like that at MTV at the time, Because I
- 7:34Speaker 3: know the MTV that I you know, we all showing.
- 7:37Speaker 5: That's true, That's very true.
- 7:38Speaker 1: And the music Awards the movie awards. Yeah, they had
- 7:41Speaker 1: plenty of awards.
- 7:42Speaker 5: I know. The irony is as soon as I moved
- 7:44Speaker 5: to LA and.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Got the job at E News, I got flown to
- 7:48Speaker 3: New York to go cover like the MTV movie and
- 7:51Speaker 3: all that stuff. Yeah, so there was some irony there,
- 7:53Speaker 3: but it all works out how it was supposed to
- 7:55Speaker 3: work out, you know.
- 7:56Speaker 6: But how do you handle rejection in an industry with
- 8:00Speaker 6: everything is so public facing?
- 8:01Speaker 3: I guess I think I have always been so used
- 8:03Speaker 3: to know, like I just don't know is not yet
- 8:06Speaker 3: for me. My senior year of high school, you know,
- 8:09Speaker 3: our one of our English teachers gave everybody a word,
- 8:11Speaker 3: and mine was tenacious tenacity.
- 8:14Speaker 5: I don't even think I knew what.
- 8:15Speaker 3: I had to google it later, like wait, what makes
- 8:17Speaker 3: me tenacious to don't say it? But then I was like, yeah, no,
- 8:20Speaker 3: that checks out. I think I've just always been someone
- 8:23Speaker 3: who was raised with this almost like a healthy delusion, right.
- 8:28Speaker 5: My dad is always.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Like you can do whatever you want, you can be
- 8:32Speaker 3: whatever you want, and not in like a generic cliche
- 8:34Speaker 3: way like that man really had me thinking if I
- 8:37Speaker 3: woke up at eighteen I ran for president, like they
- 8:39Speaker 3: could figure it out. They move some things you know exactly,
- 8:44Speaker 3: and he spoke that sort of life into me at
- 8:46Speaker 3: such an early age.
- 8:47Speaker 5: That no is something I never took personally.
- 8:50Speaker 3: I'm like, Oh, they just don't know me yet, they
- 8:52Speaker 3: don't see me yet, So I never took that personally.
- 8:55Speaker 3: It's you just haven't been able to experience what it is.
- 8:58Speaker 3: I know I can show you if you give me opportunities.
- 9:00Speaker 3: So does it suck that it's a no, yeah, but
- 9:02Speaker 3: I'm gonna go get it somewhere else, make it yes,
- 9:04Speaker 3: somewhere else.
- 9:05Speaker 6: How do you feel now? Because I know Access Hollywood
- 9:07Speaker 6: just got camp.
- 9:08Speaker 5: M Yeah, we have that.
- 9:09Speaker 1: How do you take that?
- 9:11Speaker 5: You know, it's bittersweet.
- 9:12Speaker 3: It's the indivent era. I think it's the change, the
- 9:15Speaker 3: changing landscape. Right Like, it's been thirty years that Access
- 9:17Speaker 3: Hollywood's been on the air. The syndication studio is shutting down,
- 9:20Speaker 3: so that's affecting all of the shows that traditionally have
- 9:23Speaker 3: relied on syndication.
- 9:24Speaker 5: Caramo, the Steve wil Coast Show, et cetera.
- 9:27Speaker 3: I think I don't want to say the writing was
- 9:30Speaker 3: on the wall with this show specifically. I think just
- 9:33Speaker 3: with that model, I am hopeful that you know there
- 9:36Speaker 3: will be some new iteration of the brand.
- 9:40Speaker 5: I think a lot of things are just moving to digital.
- 9:43Speaker 3: But I am also excited about what's next for me,
- 9:46Speaker 3: and there's still so many other opportunities. I still work
- 9:49Speaker 3: with E right when I'm on these big oars show
- 9:51Speaker 3: red carpets, when I'm in those hosting positions, that's live
- 9:54Speaker 3: for me. When I'm doing Fandango big ticket interviews, one
- 9:57Speaker 3: on one exclusives, that's an entirely different Proper American Ninja
- 10:01Speaker 3: Warriors coming back this summer on NBC.
- 10:03Speaker 5: So yeah, we've still got that stuff.
- 10:05Speaker 3: But I'm excited to have more time to actually build
- 10:07Speaker 3: and focus on IP and ownership. You know, I launched
- 10:11Speaker 3: my show Not About Sports earlier this year, and so
- 10:14Speaker 3: I'm just excited to embrace the changes.
- 10:15Speaker 5: I always roll with the punches. I love it, honestly,
- 10:18Speaker 5: the only thing constant has changed. So you just gotta
- 10:20Speaker 5: rock with it.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I know you.
- 10:21Speaker 4: I know you interviewed the Double Warts product cast right
- 10:25Speaker 4: for the second movie.
- 10:26Speaker 5: Yeah, and in the second movie.
- 10:29Speaker 4: It's very reminiscent about I feel like what you talk
- 10:31Speaker 4: a lot about in your plot twist series about how
- 10:33Speaker 4: things have to move and adapt and change what has
- 10:36Speaker 4: been your decision to share as those things are happening intentionally, right,
- 10:40Speaker 4: Like we read about you, but you're deciding to give
- 10:42Speaker 4: us your voice on it as it happens.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's because of that, Like people may
- 10:47Speaker 3: read about it or they may experience me as a host.
- 10:50Speaker 3: I think I got so comfortable being seen without really
- 10:55Speaker 3: being seen, right showing up, hosting the show, being impressive
- 11:00Speaker 3: and focusing on accomplishment only, Like that's always been kind
- 11:04Speaker 3: of a safe space to exist. Like when I'm struggling,
- 11:08Speaker 3: or when I'm confused, or when I'm not sure, it's
- 11:11Speaker 3: easier to like be in hiding for that and then
- 11:13Speaker 3: pop back out when I have something impressive and interesting
- 11:16Speaker 3: to say. And the older I get, the more comfortable
- 11:19Speaker 3: and confident I gave, which is who I am and
- 11:21Speaker 3: like where I am in any given moment, the more
- 11:23Speaker 3: I am willing to embrace vulnerability publicly. And I think
- 11:27Speaker 3: we're all in a really interesting time. You Know, there
- 11:29Speaker 3: are a lot of women, especially in transition Black women,
- 11:33Speaker 3: particularly in the workforce right now, who at a disproportionate
- 11:37Speaker 3: rate are losing their jobs. Right It's tough right now
- 11:39Speaker 3: for everyone, But I think especially for us. And as
- 11:42Speaker 3: I see the comments and I talk with my followers,
- 11:45Speaker 3: I was like, this is honestly a blessing in disguise,
- 11:48Speaker 3: because if I'm willing to be vulnerable about my show
- 11:52Speaker 3: going away, and I'm willing to do it in real
- 11:54Speaker 3: time and be like, I'm.
- 11:55Speaker 5: Not figuring it out totally yet, but I've been here before.
- 11:59Speaker 3: I've had to ride the waves before, I've had to
- 12:02Speaker 3: navigate the plot twist before.
- 12:03Speaker 5: I've always come out on the other side.
- 12:05Speaker 3: And the reason that I can do this in a
- 12:07Speaker 3: steady way is because of what I've learned.
- 12:09Speaker 5: So let me share that with you. Let me share
- 12:12Speaker 5: why my life didn't collapse.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Let me share what I'm excited about a not entirely
- 12:17Speaker 3: known future like that came through a lot of work,
- 12:19Speaker 3: a lot of therapy, a lot of figuring out who
- 12:22Speaker 3: I am and what my identity is outside of my job.
- 12:25Speaker 3: So when I lose a job, I don't I don't
- 12:27Speaker 3: lose myself because I've done a lot of work to
- 12:29Speaker 3: figure out who Zouri Hall is when she's not on air,
- 12:33Speaker 3: and so being transparent with the plot twist series is
- 12:36Speaker 3: just something that I wanted to share in case it
- 12:38Speaker 3: helped anybody else who's also like, what am I doing
- 12:41Speaker 3: with my life? This is not what I saw for myself,
- 12:43Speaker 3: This is not what I expected. I did everything right
- 12:46Speaker 3: and still and the feedback's been great. So I'm gonna
- 12:50Speaker 3: just keep telling my business in small doses.
- 12:55Speaker 1: This business.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Something I had to unlearn. Ooh, that's a good one.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Jar. Something that I had to unlearn in this business
- 13:06Speaker 3: was yeah, that opportunity sometimes and success and or lack thereof,
- 13:16Speaker 3: is not.
- 13:16Speaker 5: Directly tied to my worth, truly, because as.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Someone who growing up my career, my ambitions, my accomplishments
- 13:26Speaker 3: was my identity. When I was passed over for something,
- 13:30Speaker 3: when it was okay, maybe next time, but not now.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I really I used to take it personally sometimes just
- 13:37Speaker 3: in small moments, and I've realized there's such a political
- 13:42Speaker 3: game to a lot of this, you know, and so
- 13:45Speaker 3: often the reason that it's someone else versus you has
- 13:49Speaker 3: nothing to do with you. And there's also something beautiful
- 13:52Speaker 3: about being able to say that is for them, like
- 13:56Speaker 3: what is for them is for them, what's.
- 13:57Speaker 5: For me is for me. And I'm not going to.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Tell myself a lie about who I am or what
- 14:05Speaker 3: I deserve just because someone else in this moment thought
- 14:08Speaker 3: that that wasn't who I was or what I deserved.
- 14:11Speaker 5: And so yeah, just.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Embracing my worth outside of my job and who decided
- 14:17Speaker 3: that I deserved an opportunity? Yeah, I just had to
- 14:20Speaker 3: unlearn my worthiness being attached to my output, my creation,
- 14:27Speaker 3: my achievement.
- 14:29Speaker 5: Can I we we've got time for one more.
- 14:31Speaker 4: I just want to ask what point in your career
- 14:33Speaker 4: did that come in, Like did that set really set in?
- 14:37Speaker 4: Like like you actually lived that every day?
- 14:40Speaker 3: I would say, E when I was at E News
- 14:44Speaker 3: every day, right, like I'm access Hollywood in the day
- 14:46Speaker 3: to day now. But I would say, halfway through the
- 14:51Speaker 3: original E News experience all those years ago, I had
- 14:56Speaker 3: to figure out how to unlearn that or my sanity
- 15:02Speaker 3: for my mental wellness, because it was there was a
- 15:07Speaker 3: really rough patch, you know, where I think I was asked,
- 15:11Speaker 3: A lot of folks were being asked. It was an
- 15:12Speaker 3: entirely different regime. And I've talked about this publicly before.
- 15:16Speaker 3: They're not there anymore. And they were lovely and great,
- 15:18Speaker 3: but you know, sometimes that the tides turned, it's like, Okay,
- 15:20Speaker 3: this is the trend now, or this is what we
- 15:22Speaker 3: expect now, this is what we want, and I wasn't
- 15:25Speaker 3: willing to meet that moment in a way that fell
- 15:28Speaker 3: out of my integrity, just how I report, how I host,
- 15:31Speaker 3: how I show up. Not saying there was anything wrong
- 15:33Speaker 3: with it, it just wasn't how I wanted to show
- 15:36Speaker 3: up on air, and so.
- 15:39Speaker 5: I was not on air as much, you know.
- 15:42Speaker 3: And so to be willing to sit with that and
- 15:45Speaker 3: sit in that silence and sit with the work that
- 15:48Speaker 3: I was doing, it was a whole lot there be
- 15:50Speaker 3: going on at that point.
- 15:51Speaker 5: I have much else to do.
- 15:53Speaker 3: I think that's when I first really like started to
- 15:56Speaker 3: live that. And it's been about four or five years
- 15:58Speaker 3: of really living in that truth.
- 16:00Speaker 5: Still a journey. Don't get me wrong. I do not
- 16:02Speaker 5: have it all figured out, and I still have moments
- 16:04Speaker 5: of like second guessing myself or am I doing this ride?
- 16:07Speaker 3: Or could I be doing something differently, But overwhelmingly, I
- 16:10Speaker 3: think the more I've built up the other pillars of
- 16:12Speaker 3: my life, my family, my friends, my community, hobbies, I'm
- 16:16Speaker 3: riding horses for the heck of it, Like, there's just
- 16:18Speaker 3: such a full life that has nothing to do with
- 16:21Speaker 3: my career. And I think ironically the moment that I
- 16:25Speaker 3: kind of released the need to have this all workout
- 16:28Speaker 3: one way, the opportunity started flowing more. It's like, you
- 16:32Speaker 3: can't chase it will run whatever it is. It could
- 16:35Speaker 3: be a man, it could be a job. Like you
- 16:37Speaker 3: cannot be in constant pursuit because energetically you're saying, I
- 16:41Speaker 3: don't have this thing.
- 16:42Speaker 5: I'm trying to get this thing.
- 16:43Speaker 3: But when I stay grounded and planted and it's like
- 16:46Speaker 3: I am here, I am enough, and these things come
- 16:48Speaker 3: to me.
- 16:49Speaker 5: I know it sounds woo woo, But.
- 16:50Speaker 3: The minute I just fell back, even when it was
- 16:52Speaker 3: because I was just too tired to chase anymore, it
- 16:55Speaker 3: came it's like, oh, well, if you're just gonna sit
- 16:58Speaker 3: there calmly and like open up to what will be,
- 17:01Speaker 3: let me just go ahead and slowly, you know, work
- 17:03Speaker 3: my way to you with this opportunity. And that's when
- 17:06Speaker 3: I knew that things were supposed to be there, because
- 17:08Speaker 3: sometimes I was chasing things that weren't supposed to be
- 17:10Speaker 3: mine that would have ended up being more of a
- 17:12Speaker 3: curse than a blessing.
- 17:16Speaker 5: We got a few.
- 17:24Speaker 2: We appreciate you for joining us this morning.
