- 7:46Speaker 5: I asked her if the social captions are approved, and
- 7:50Speaker 5: then I said that over to the social team to
- 7:52Speaker 5: post the social videos with the social captions, and I
- 7:56Speaker 5: tell Liam that we can publish the video on YouTube
- 8:00Speaker 5: on K twos YouTube with the title and description, all.
- 8:05Speaker 3: The metadata across all digital platforms, all metadata.
- 8:10Speaker 5: And then I talked to Tony and he gets up
- 8:15Speaker 5: the audio on streaming on Spotify, al music and iHeart.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Just So what you're saying is is that everything does
- 8:23Speaker 3: all the work and you just communicate.
- 8:26Speaker 5: Well, the project manage like I'm project manage.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Yeah, like explaining right, but people don't know who Tony is,
- 8:32Speaker 3: like listeners, right, So you digital with the digital team
- 8:35Speaker 3: and you run the project management. Which what you were
- 8:38Speaker 3: alluding to before is if something's off schedule, it derails
- 8:42Speaker 3: the entire workflow.
- 8:44Speaker 5: Yeah rightyeah, yeah it does.
- 8:45Speaker 1: That's thirty minutes late today.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I walk in the studio two minutes after.
- 8:52Speaker 4: You, but you were, so who got here first? This
- 8:54Speaker 4: is is a simple question. Every time it literally some
- 9:00Speaker 4: of your negative energy towards her, towards.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Energy I would never negative Christmas episode.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Are those like, you know, antlers or are they horns?
- 9:20Speaker 4: There was booth this episode Christmas smoke.
- 9:27Speaker 7: Christmas.
- 9:29Speaker 1: All right, we're just playing. We're having a great text now.
- 9:32Speaker 7: Jill makes it. Jill makes us go round, guys, make
- 9:35Speaker 7: me oh.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Okay, Joe.
- 9:40Speaker 3: I think Joe got into before this episode, and I
- 9:45Speaker 3: want to preface there is no alcohol in the studio.
- 9:47Speaker 2: This is just our personality.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Your every day Naturally, as.
- 9:52Speaker 2: We represent a higher education institution, what do you do here?
- 9:57Speaker 6: So I work with partners clients and help the create
- 10:01Speaker 6: and help them amplify their marketing, no.
- 10:03Speaker 7: Matter if it's through schools, if.
- 10:06Speaker 6: It's kind of different types of partners kind of work
- 10:09Speaker 6: around the.
- 10:12Speaker 7: In a couple different ways.
- 10:13Speaker 2: How many partners do you have under sales?
- 10:17Speaker 6: You know, probably around like ten fifteen at a given time,
- 10:21Speaker 6: but everything changes, things happen, so it's just kind of
- 10:26Speaker 6: what makes sense during that time frame.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Who's your favorite partner?
- 10:31Speaker 7: Wowka favorite?
- 10:33Speaker 1: Yeah, just one of the many, One of.
- 10:36Speaker 6: The many of my favorites is Berkeley. It has been
- 10:41Speaker 6: very cool because I do work with other higher ed
- 10:44Speaker 6: clients and sometimes I think it's hard to break through
- 10:48Speaker 6: doing something new, especially in the higher education space. People
- 10:52Speaker 6: kind of stick to what they know and that's it.
- 10:54Speaker 6: So it's been fun to work with Penny and Pro
- 10:57Speaker 6: to make this campaign, this part your ship kind of
- 11:00Speaker 6: larger than life and letting us kind of do something new.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Me and Jill had never created a podcast before this,

- 11:10Speaker 6: this together and learn I love it.
- 11:13Speaker 2: And an award winning post, an.

- 12:06Speaker 4: are going to school for sales or business or something
- 12:09Speaker 4: like that who are listening right now and wondering, you know,
- 12:12Speaker 4: how do I get into that?
- 12:13Speaker 1: How did you get into this business? Essentially?
- 12:16Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a communication major, and I minored in
- 12:20Speaker 6: business down in Texas, and I always wanted to do sales,
- 12:23Speaker 6: but I just kind of didn't know how I was
- 12:25Speaker 6: going to get there. When I graduated, COVID happened, so
- 12:28Speaker 6: I was kind of trying to get any job that
- 12:30Speaker 6: I could just because of the job market.
- 12:33Speaker 7: And then really it was through connections.
- 12:36Speaker 6: I was kind of vocal of like I still liked
- 12:38Speaker 6: my old job, but maybe it was time for something new.
- 12:42Speaker 6: So it was really connections and helping me kind of
- 12:46Speaker 6: put my name out there to people and let them know, yes,
- 12:49Speaker 6: I do want to do sales. I don't know where
- 12:51Speaker 6: how that's going to look, but it all kind of
- 12:53Speaker 6: just fell into place. And I moved up here in
- 12:56Speaker 6: twenty twenty one, yeah, around that time, and I've been
- 13:01Speaker 6: here for almost four years now. So it's definitely been
- 13:04Speaker 6: a church Texas right, Yes, from Texas, it was a jump.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but Texas or New York.
- 13:11Speaker 7: It's so different.
- 13:12Speaker 6: I mean, like my whole family's in Texas. But it
- 13:15Speaker 6: is warm there right now, not snowing.
- 13:18Speaker 1: This time of the year.
- 13:18Speaker 4: Everyone always thinks about the other places, like, oh, Florida
- 13:21Speaker 4: is great, I know, or it's fifty degrees right now.
- 13:24Speaker 6: You know, usually when it snows, like Texas shuts down
- 13:26Speaker 6: because no one knows how to drive in it. And
- 13:28Speaker 6: so I'm like, oh, it's snowing, we don't go to
- 13:31Speaker 6: work today, but no we do.
- 13:33Speaker 1: So it's just different out here. You're going to get
- 13:37Speaker 1: a snow date.
- 13:39Speaker 6: We used to get like ice days all the time.
- 13:41Speaker 6: So yeah, but it's been nice and especially growing within
- 13:46Speaker 6: this space, and I know that the opinion have Now
- 13:49Speaker 6: we'red together for almost it will be a year and
- 13:52Speaker 6: a half now together.
- 13:53Speaker 7: So it's been really nice and fun.
- 13:57Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 13:57Speaker 6: I've taught you so much, you really have you Uh,
- 14:02Speaker 6: you've got me into shape a little bit.
- 14:04Speaker 3: No, You're great, And it's it's always nice to work
- 14:08Speaker 3: with younger account executives and mentor in different ways, which
- 14:12Speaker 3: goes back to the teaching aspect of the podcast. It's
- 14:15Speaker 3: some beautiful for us to work together and create that
- 14:18Speaker 3: bond and learn from each other.
- 14:19Speaker 2: So it's been really fun. And then Jill coming on
- 14:21Speaker 2: the team.
- 14:24Speaker 1: We have to have Jill on, I know we have to.
- 14:26Speaker 2: She should do like a segment.
- 14:30Speaker 4: We should like we should like have a segment where
- 14:32Speaker 4: we say something. Every time we say something funny or entertained,
- 14:34Speaker 4: we just pant to her and she's like, we're gonna
- 14:38Speaker 4: be like a sound bite or something that we could
- 14:40Speaker 4: just add in every time.
- 14:43Speaker 2: I love it.
- 14:43Speaker 3: What has been your favorite moment of the podcast, whether
- 14:48Speaker 3: it's pre production and creating or production.
- 14:52Speaker 7: Oh, I love a live podcast.
- 14:53Speaker 2: It was so much fun.
- 14:54Speaker 7: That was It was a lot of work.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I'm not going to.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Lie, but it was so fun to plan that and
- 15:00Speaker 5: then I see it come on to light and the
- 15:03Speaker 5: audience is so excited. You guys, I had like Popper
- 15:06Speaker 5: Rodzie around you. I was like, oh, Petty bro out,
- 15:09Speaker 5: we can't get to you.
- 15:15Speaker 2: It was so fun.
- 15:16Speaker 7: It felt really cool that we made.
- 15:18Speaker 2: It all happen.
- 15:23Speaker 6: Okay, that was a really good point to make that happen.
- 15:26Speaker 6: It was a lot and a lot of Jill so
- 15:29Speaker 6: but well. And I think what's made it fun is
- 15:33Speaker 6: all four of us five, we were all in different departments,
- 15:37Speaker 6: so this podcast has really made us collaborate. I didn't
- 15:40Speaker 6: know Jill that much before this, so it was really
- 15:42Speaker 6: nice to and now she said I love you to me.
- 15:45Speaker 7: Like a seven time sching the ball, and I feel
- 15:47Speaker 7: I really loved, love you chill.
- 15:52Speaker 6: But then Pro, you know, it's fun to get to
- 15:55Speaker 6: see your side and your perspective, especially as you get
- 15:59Speaker 6: you know you're gonna promoted.
- 16:00Speaker 7: Things are happening.
- 16:01Speaker 6: And then Penny, I don't always get to see partners
- 16:04Speaker 6: all the time, so it's really fun that I do
- 16:06Speaker 6: get to see you as much as I do, and
- 16:08Speaker 6: we have created that bond.
- 16:09Speaker 7: You come to all of our events and you have
- 16:12Speaker 7: a good time.
- 16:12Speaker 6: But I think it's collaborating in a larger than just
- 16:16Speaker 6: kind of your day to day. It's a lot bigger
- 16:18Speaker 6: than like, none of us could do this by ourselves.
- 16:20Speaker 7: We need each other.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a relationship building, Yes, cross collaboration and we
- 16:24Speaker 3: continue to grow. For all of us, it's been a
- 16:26Speaker 3: learning experience and we're all growing together and it's been
- 16:29Speaker 3: so cool to see Pro grow.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Okay, yes, not only.
- 16:37Speaker 3: You know, stepping out of your comfort zone and going
- 16:39Speaker 3: into this podcast, but really elevating this partnership and your
- 16:44Speaker 3: commitment that you put into this. The effort, the time,
- 16:48Speaker 3: it super exceeds anything that's on a contract. So we
- 16:53Speaker 3: can tell that you're passionate about what this is, why
- 16:55Speaker 3: you want to do it, and then you've been promoted,
- 16:59Speaker 3: so you continue to and seeing you shine is so cool,
- 17:02Speaker 3: like seeing you at events and everything. It's so cool
- 17:04Speaker 3: to have, you know, seen you from back in the
- 17:05Speaker 3: day and see where you are now.
- 17:06Speaker 2: No, it's really dope, and it's growing.
- 17:10Speaker 4: It's always about stepping outside of your comfort zone. That's
- 17:12Speaker 4: one thing we push on on all all our episodes,
- 17:15Speaker 4: and everyone has the same kind of story where they're
- 17:17Speaker 4: all trying to achieve, you know, growth and get to
- 17:20Speaker 4: the next level. And that takes stepping outside of your
- 17:23Speaker 4: comfort zone always and doing other things and being willing
- 17:27Speaker 4: to take on more responsibility and just put in more work.
- 17:31Speaker 3: So this podcast is a lot of work, but it's
- 17:35Speaker 3: really worth it when you see a brand elevating and
- 17:38Speaker 3: being an innovative leader in this space. And this is
- 17:42Speaker 3: the first of its kind custom Curity postcasts and higher
- 17:45Speaker 3: education and it's been such a trip and so much fun.
- 17:49Speaker 3: But it really is an interesting way to uplift that
- 17:53Speaker 3: brand recognition. And we've been at many events, whether it's conferences,
- 17:57Speaker 3: Chamber of Commerce events, different concertsing like that, and people
- 18:00Speaker 3: recognize the podcast we just bumped into at Power Sessions. Congrats,
- 18:04Speaker 3: pro thank you and the Power one five team for
- 18:09Speaker 3: for doing that.
- 18:10Speaker 2: It was really cool.
- 18:11Speaker 3: But we bumped into one of our students there and
- 18:14Speaker 3: she was just raving about the podcast and she listens
- 18:17Speaker 3: and she asked when our next live episode was, and
- 18:20Speaker 3: I said, you got to ask pro.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Well, I'm definitely working on. One of our goals for
- 18:28Speaker 4: twenty twenty six for me is definitely more live podcasts
- 18:33Speaker 4: with live guests, right and getting back to I want
- 18:36Speaker 4: to do more here, and I do want to go
- 18:38Speaker 4: travel other areas, don't get me wrong, but I definitely
- 18:40Speaker 4: want to take advantage of the fact that we have
- 18:41Speaker 4: this amazing space in the iHeart Headquarters building.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Because Time Square is too cold.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Now yeah, well, well yeah outside.
- 18:48Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about being outside outside.
- 18:51Speaker 4: But I have already whispered to a few of my
- 18:54Speaker 4: you know friends, some of the artists I know well,
- 18:56Speaker 4: and they're all kind of cool with it. So I
- 18:58Speaker 4: think I'm just going to wait to find out scheduling
- 19:00Speaker 4: when they're going to be in town and make sure
- 19:02Speaker 4: it works where we can invite everyone out there who's
- 19:04Speaker 4: watching and listening right now so that they could be
- 19:06Speaker 4: part of showing up and we can have some.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Great artists there where they could ask the.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Artist questions and just make it. Yeah, just make it
- 19:13Speaker 4: really awesome, like so.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Much, We're so excited and just like so much.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Wow, live artists with questions from the audience. This is
- 19:23Speaker 1: going to be great.
- 19:26Speaker 4: No, but so we're going to do We'll have a
- 19:28Speaker 4: few of those, I think next year for sure for exciting.
- 19:33Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I'll ask a question.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Welcome to ask me something with Victoria.
- 19:40Speaker 6: Well, we were talking about this, but do you guys
- 19:43Speaker 6: have one of personal New Year's resolution?
- 19:46Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're just a swear.
- 19:48Speaker 4: I was going to ask you guys this question next,
- 19:50Speaker 4: but in my head I was like, I'm going to
- 19:52Speaker 4: go through everybody else.
- 19:53Speaker 6: Well, you talked about cutting out your goals for this podcast.
- 19:56Speaker 7: I wanted to know more personally. There's one and then
- 20:00Speaker 7: for the.
- 20:00Speaker 4: Podcast a New Year's resolution? What are you doing for
- 20:04Speaker 4: twenty twenty?
- 20:05Speaker 3: So I do not believe in resolutions because those tend
- 20:10Speaker 3: to fall off.
- 20:11Speaker 1: New Year's after three weeks, but goals.
- 20:14Speaker 3: I do have aspirations, which is funny because I have
- 20:17Speaker 3: a little box don't look at me pro but I
- 20:20Speaker 3: have colored index cards and each index card has a theme,
- 20:24Speaker 3: whether you know, green, is for finance, Pink is for
- 20:28Speaker 3: personal different things, And I always look back at this
- 20:30Speaker 3: time and see what I planned for myself for the
- 20:32Speaker 3: year and when I'm going to plan next. But I
- 20:36Speaker 3: will say that this year has been beyond any expectations
- 20:43Speaker 3: that I had for myself. It's been crazy when you
- 20:45Speaker 3: look back and see everything you've accomplished and everything you've
- 20:48Speaker 3: done from you know, this podcast was a big part
- 20:51Speaker 3: of that, and a couple of things on the professional side.
- 20:54Speaker 2: I was nominated for forty under forty this year.
- 20:57Speaker 7: Wow, congratulations.
- 20:59Speaker 3: So there's there's been a lot of cool not for you,
- 21:04Speaker 3: but there's been a lot of cool things.
- 21:07Speaker 2: But honestly, for next year, I'm.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Really excited about seeing what's coming. I feel that this
- 21:14Speaker 3: year has been a lot of elevation and planting seeds
- 21:20Speaker 3: to nourish for next year and continuing to expand. This
- 21:23Speaker 3: health journey has been amazing. We talked about it in
- 21:25Speaker 3: a previous episode, so that's really exciting. So I think
- 21:28Speaker 3: it's just you know, enjoying the journey, being present more
- 21:33Speaker 3: and going on for the roller coaster ride.
- 21:38Speaker 6: You pick a word right to set your year, we do, okay,
- 21:44Speaker 6: I know Berkeley does but then you do personally as well.
- 21:47Speaker 7: Right, yes, did we get a teaser?
- 21:50Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 21:52Speaker 7: Have you thought about it?
- 21:53Speaker 2: I have thought about it.
- 21:54Speaker 7: What was your word this year?
- 21:56Speaker 2: Elevation?
- 21:57Speaker 7: Elevation?
- 21:59Speaker 2: Last year was revelation. Yes, yeah, yeah? Okay. Now so
- 22:11Speaker 2: next year's inspiration? Oh okay. So we say a lot
- 22:14Speaker 2: here in the podcast aspire to.
- 22:16Speaker 3: So it's about taking everything that we've grown and continuing
- 22:18Speaker 3: to inspire yourself and give yourself a little bit of grace,
- 22:22Speaker 3: but also inspire others.
- 22:23Speaker 7: That is great, Thanks for sharing.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Like I have none of this.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Year.
- 22:37Speaker 7: I've been killing it already.
- 22:40Speaker 2: We won an award, so what else?
- 22:42Speaker 6: Whatever?
- 22:43Speaker 4: No, For me, I think it's just like any other year.
- 22:46Speaker 4: You go into wanting it to be your best year, right,
- 22:50Speaker 4: But I think you go back and what I would
- 22:53Speaker 4: do is look through the year of things that I've done,
- 22:56Speaker 4: whether they've come out good, whether they've come out bad.
- 22:58Speaker 4: You kind of assess what work, what didn't work? What
- 23:01Speaker 4: should I focus more on? What I was doing well
- 23:03Speaker 4: as so I could do.
- 23:04Speaker 1: More of that?
- 23:05Speaker 4: What what I wasted my time on, so I don't
- 23:08Speaker 4: waste my time on again? Like you know those kind
- 23:11Speaker 4: of you kind of like go through the boxes and
- 23:12Speaker 4: kind of either check or cross them off. You know,
- 23:16Speaker 4: it's and you know that's kind of kind of it.
- 23:18Speaker 4: Obviously I am I am one hundred percent at the
- 23:21Speaker 4: top of my list every single year is my family, right,
- 23:22Speaker 4: So the kids, my kids. This year for me, the
- 23:25Speaker 4: big breakout thing has nothing to do with business or work.
- 23:28Speaker 4: It has to do with my kids in sports and
- 23:30Speaker 4: all this kind of stuff that they really got into.
- 23:31Speaker 4: If you followed me on social media, you know that
- 23:33Speaker 4: this was like the breakout year for my kids. They're
- 23:35Speaker 4: like football stars. Now they're into hockey and lacrosse and
- 23:39Speaker 4: we're already planning ahead of twenty twenty six sports and
- 23:43Speaker 4: blah blah. So for my family, it's a lot of that.
- 23:45Speaker 4: It's a lot of family. When it comes to me,
- 23:46Speaker 4: the work obviously comes second. But for work, obviously, going
- 23:51Speaker 4: into twenty twenty six, I have a whole new chapter
- 23:52Speaker 4: in my life with the with the APD position, there's
- 23:55Speaker 4: going to be a lot of work, a lot of things.
- 23:57Speaker 4: We're going to be working on a lot more from
- 24:00Speaker 4: not only the Power of five to one side, but
- 24:02Speaker 4: also the KTU side as well. Me and Jill, who's
- 24:05Speaker 4: the PDAT at k T. You have been working close
- 24:08Speaker 4: on events that we're going to be bringing to the table.
- 24:11Speaker 4: So it's going to be a lot of work. It
- 24:12Speaker 4: goes back to the word elevation. It's just elevating everything.
- 24:15Speaker 4: You take what you've done, what works, and just elevated.
- 24:18Speaker 4: You know what we're missing? What do we have to
- 24:20Speaker 4: work on?
- 24:20Speaker 1: Da da da da.
- 24:21Speaker 4: So it's to me for me, it's going to be
- 24:22Speaker 4: a lot of work. But I also going back to health.
- 24:26Speaker 4: That's the goal for me and my wife, like we
- 24:28Speaker 4: want to make sure that we're ending the year really good.
- 24:32Speaker 1: I had a goal of like, oh, I.
- 24:34Speaker 4: Need to make sure I'm under two hundred pounds, that's
- 24:36Speaker 4: you know whatever, because I had gotten as high as
- 24:38Speaker 4: like two twenty five, two thirty. Now I'm well underneath that.
- 24:42Speaker 4: Where now I'm setting new goals, you know what I'm saying,
- 24:44Speaker 4: Like I got down to like one, like today I
- 24:46Speaker 4: was one eighty eight, right, so not really yeah, come
- 24:50Speaker 4: so you know, also, and the goal, you know, I
- 24:53Speaker 4: don't know when this airs, maybe i'll be but you
- 24:57Speaker 4: know what, you go through the holidays, that's the biggest
- 24:59Speaker 4: part is getting the the holidays without veering off track.
- 25:02Speaker 4: So we don't have any like real partying that we're
- 25:04Speaker 4: that you know that are gonna throw me off. But
- 25:06Speaker 4: that's it for me. It's it's nothing dramatic, you know.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Like some people they like you said, they write all
- 25:13Speaker 4: these things down, like, hey, listen, you shouldn't have to
- 25:15Speaker 4: wait till the beginning of a new year to say
- 25:17Speaker 4: I want to start working out, start today. Yeah, right,
- 25:20Speaker 4: Like I remember one of my boys the days y'
- 25:21Speaker 4: almost start hitting the gym. I see you in the gym.
- 25:23Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, He's like, I'm waiting for the
- 25:24Speaker 4: new year. It's like, why are you waiting for the
- 25:26Speaker 4: new year? Like what the wait?
- 25:28Speaker 2: Wait for tomorrow?
- 25:29Speaker 1: Mission.
- 25:29Speaker 4: The treadmill that's in there right now is the same
- 25:31Speaker 4: treadmill that's exactly so like why wait?
- 25:34Speaker 1: And that's another thing.
- 25:35Speaker 4: Don't put things off people right, Oh, people love to
- 25:38Speaker 4: plan ahead. I'm going to do this when this, If
- 25:40Speaker 4: you have the time to do it now, do it,
- 25:42Speaker 4: do it now, and that way you'll be ahead. I'd
- 25:43Speaker 4: rather go into the new year already up and running
- 25:45Speaker 4: than then wait till then to start.
- 25:48Speaker 1: So that's about it. But I think just whatever coming up.
- 25:51Speaker 4: With there's so much things I'm working on like mentally
- 25:54Speaker 4: that my mind is shot right, so.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Like meditation pro. We've spoken about.
- 25:59Speaker 4: This, No, I was thinking about thinking about I was
- 26:01Speaker 4: thinking about it the other day and I realized I
- 26:03Speaker 4: just can't stop thinking. So that's not gonna work. I
- 26:06Speaker 4: talk to myself so much that Okay.
- 26:08Speaker 2: We're gonna do a meditation session.
- 26:09Speaker 1: We're gonna do a live meditation.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna do it.
- 26:12Speaker 1: We should bring somebody in who's really a master of that.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Yeah, we should.
- 26:15Speaker 1: And yeah, I feel like it would be fun, that
- 26:18Speaker 1: would be awesome.
- 26:19Speaker 7: We have a question for pro.
- 26:20Speaker 5: When you're assessing your year looking at like what didn't
- 26:23Speaker 5: work out and everything and what did? Are you good
- 26:25Speaker 5: at looking at the things that didn't work out and
- 26:28Speaker 5: not looking at them as regrets but looking at them as.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Of course of course of course you know.
- 26:34Speaker 4: And not to sound cliche, but it's like they say,
- 26:36Speaker 4: every l is is not a loss, it's a lesson, right, Yeah, yeah, so,
- 26:39Speaker 4: and it doesn't necessarily always have to be like an
- 26:40Speaker 4: investment thing or people always take like a money thing.
- 26:42Speaker 4: But no, every everything you've done that didn't go as planned,
- 26:46Speaker 4: you look at and figure out why didn't it go
- 26:48Speaker 4: as planned, right and just figure it out. You should
- 26:49Speaker 4: have learned something from it, right, Yeah, so you know
- 26:53Speaker 4: that's about it.
- 26:54Speaker 1: I don't. I don't.
- 26:55Speaker 6: You know.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Regrets are things.
- 26:57Speaker 4: That I did when I was younger, right, you know,
- 27:00Speaker 4: as you grow you regret, Like.
- 27:01Speaker 2: You think about that. On the regrets, everything's a learning experience.
- 27:10Speaker 7: Regret, Well, we have not done what we didn't like
- 27:12Speaker 7: a risk?
- 27:13Speaker 2: You know, it's don't really wow you do?
- 27:16Speaker 3: So it's subjective, right, It depends on how you look
- 27:19Speaker 3: at things, right, Like for me, when I look at
- 27:22Speaker 3: my life, I don't see I would do everything all
- 27:24Speaker 3: over again. I have one regret and it was not
- 27:28Speaker 3: asking all the questions I could before I lost my
- 27:31Speaker 3: dad at twenty two. So I think certain things like that.
- 27:34Speaker 3: You can say this is like a true regret. But
- 27:36Speaker 3: the rest of it, if you think about it, every
- 27:38Speaker 3: experience you've lived has made you the person you are today.
- 27:42Speaker 3: So would you really do it over again? Would it
- 27:44Speaker 3: have led you to this very moment sitting in this room.
- 27:47Speaker 2: No, it's so cool exactly again, So your word is elevation. Yeah,
- 27:57Speaker 2: let's stick with that.
- 27:59Speaker 4: No, No, I'm not gonna say that, all right, Trying
- 28:01Speaker 4: to give me one of your old words.
- 28:02Speaker 3: Well, speaking about elevating, all right, the word. First of all,
- 28:08Speaker 3: the word is a good word. Great, great with that,
- 28:14Speaker 3: It's basically it is what you want it to be.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Wherever Penny's next word is basic crazy, so shy.
- 28:28Speaker 2: I'm regretting producing this episode.
- 28:33Speaker 3: She's always so quiet game microphone, Yeah, Jill, but hello,
- 28:37Speaker 3: we're being recorded like it was a little modesty.
- 28:40Speaker 1: She's like, I'm not ready for this again? How much.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Did you eat the munchkins before we started this episode?
- 28:47Speaker 7: And I feel like I'm usually the main one.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Pros loving this by the way that big brother energy
- 28:53Speaker 3: is like this is phenomenal.
- 28:56Speaker 1: If I would literally have tea right now, SIPs on tea.
- 28:58Speaker 1: And what.
- 29:00Speaker 3: We went through chaos to an educational moment and where
- 29:03Speaker 3: bat Jill just brought us back.
- 29:06Speaker 2: A little general.
- 29:09Speaker 4: So I know the time is gonna you know, we
- 29:11Speaker 4: have to wrap things up. So you guys, what is
- 29:13Speaker 4: your goals or resolutions or whatever for the new year?
- 29:18Speaker 2: Okay, I'll go quick.
- 29:19Speaker 7: Mine was okay.
- 29:20Speaker 6: Now thinking about it, I feel like this year was
- 29:22Speaker 6: a little it was different. It was hard because it's
- 29:24Speaker 6: like twenty seven kind of try to figure out what's next,
- 29:27Speaker 6: what to do? And I definitely kind of let my
- 29:30Speaker 6: mind take me to I don't know, I didn't. I
- 29:34Speaker 6: don't think my mind was right sometimes in terms of
- 29:36Speaker 6: like not being positive.
- 29:39Speaker 7: Things like that. So I don't want my word to
- 29:41Speaker 7: be like positive.
- 29:42Speaker 6: But really it is like your mind can help you
- 29:47Speaker 6: go in so many different directions and setting it positively
- 29:50Speaker 6: I do think is extremely helpful, especially when.
- 29:52Speaker 7: You are going through your week for work.
- 29:55Speaker 6: And kind of doing a lot of the same things,
- 29:57Speaker 6: which is part of adult life, but always kind of
- 30:00Speaker 6: being positive in it, and you know, nothing less forever.
- 30:03Speaker 7: Things can always change. So yeah, living in that moment. Yeah,
- 30:08Speaker 7: that's it. I love that.
- 30:10Speaker 6: Okay, so reframing, but things can be bad.
- 30:16Speaker 5: Things can be bad too, and it's okay, you know,
- 30:18Speaker 5: nothing last forever and.
- 30:19Speaker 7: Nothing last forever.
- 30:20Speaker 1: How about you. I want to take more risks, more risks.
- 30:25Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like, what what's your biggest what's that?
- 30:30Speaker 2: I just want to change things up.
- 30:31Speaker 5: I oh, sorry, Peters me right now. I just want
- 30:36Speaker 5: to change things up.
- 30:37Speaker 7: I get really comfortable.
- 30:39Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want I want to assess like every
- 30:42Speaker 5: like where I'm at in my career, where about in
- 30:46Speaker 5: my personal life? And like, really, I guess decide what
- 30:49Speaker 5: I want to change and what I want to keep,
- 30:53Speaker 5: and I guess take more risks and see like where
- 30:55Speaker 5: life takes me.
- 30:57Speaker 8: Risky, yeah, risky Yeah, Okay, jingle ball to be twenty seven.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Again, right, she said, I'm twenty Jesus Christ.
- 31:12Speaker 3: The youngins are across the table. But no, you know what,
- 31:17Speaker 3: we enjoyed our twenties.
- 31:18Speaker 1: She said, sorry to this, I'm so sorry.
- 31:21Speaker 2: We enjoyed our twenties. They were fun.
- 31:23Speaker 3: I would say do it all, do all the things,
- 31:26Speaker 3: because that's the time to do it. You know, at
- 31:29Speaker 3: our age, we can't really, we don't have an excuse.
- 31:32Speaker 1: To do It's the perfect take the responsible things.
- 31:34Speaker 4: You could take those risks now, yes, yeah, because the
- 31:37Speaker 4: older you get and depending on your life situations, those
- 31:42Speaker 4: risks may not be something you can take later. So
- 31:46Speaker 4: like for myself, there's things I could I don't want
- 31:48Speaker 4: to do this. There's a lot of things that I'm
- 31:50Speaker 4: just like, oh, I'm going to do this or I'm
- 31:51Speaker 4: going to because I'm thinking, like when I make decisions now,
- 31:54Speaker 4: I make them based on my family family.
- 31:56Speaker 1: So like I think I'm gonna.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Take this position and I'm going to do this because
- 31:58Speaker 4: I'm thinking there's people who could think the next six months,
- 32:02Speaker 4: there's people who could think the next year, Like this
- 32:03Speaker 4: is where I want to be. I have to think
- 32:05Speaker 4: the next I think, I calculate. I calculated by my kids' school,
- 32:09Speaker 4: so I need to make sure I'm bringing in this
- 32:10Speaker 4: money for the next ten years or the next that
- 32:12Speaker 4: I think about their colleges. So all your decisions change
- 32:16Speaker 4: as life changes.
- 32:17Speaker 2: So yeah, that makes sense. Pop a pro dropping the job.
- 32:28Speaker 1: There's a lot of hashtags over here.
- 32:30Speaker 3: Yes, but I enjoy the journey and really allow yourself
- 32:35Speaker 3: to live it. You know, everything in life is temporary, right,
- 32:40Speaker 3: So moments, good, bad, happy, sad, they come and they go.
- 32:43Speaker 3: And this industry specifically and entertainment, many things are temporary,
- 32:49Speaker 3: so enjoy it while you're there.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Live it to the fullest.
- 32:52Speaker 7: I love it.
- 32:53Speaker 2: It'd be great.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I think that wraps up our holiday.
- 32:55Speaker 4: It does, so first of all, I want to say,
- 32:57Speaker 4: Marry Christmas to everybody in the room.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Hope you guys have a great Christmas and happy New Year.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Happy holidays to everyone. Whatever you may celebrate at home.
- 33:07Speaker 4: We have that drink and shot take one for me
- 33:08Speaker 4: at midnight I'll be I'll be in Miami on New
