00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:07.739
got a new podcast interview with Lakeisha Mosley,

00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:16.599
who I met on an, I did a podcast with her, how

00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.879
long ago? A few months ago, right before your

00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.780
anniversary. Oh yeah, that's true, yeah. So it

00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:25.799
was like three months ago. Oh my goodness, time

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:34.280
flies. I know. I think today is going to be an

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:41.019
inspiring message today, so let's get started.

00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:45.719
Welcome to Crazy Fitness Guys Healthy Living

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.439
Podcast. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here.

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.019
And just have to note that I almost forgot what

00:01:55.019 --> 00:01:58.579
my name on my podcast was. I just rebranded it

00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:07.409
today. That's when you know when you have too

00:02:07.409 --> 00:02:17.229
much things going on. Yes. Fine with me. So tell

00:02:17.229 --> 00:02:20.919
me a little bit about yourself. Well, as you

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.879
said, I am Lakeisha Mosley. I am a serial entrepreneur

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.620
as well as a corporate worker. So I have a podcast

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:32.840
of my own called The Combo with Keisha. I have

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.719
an event management company called the LM Experience.

00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.659
And I also run a blog named after myself. But

00:02:39.659 --> 00:02:46.210
by day, I'm a grocery store manager. And I thought

00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:57.449
I was busy. I even had a podcast guest interviewer

00:02:57.449 --> 00:03:00.289
on here who's a New York Times bestselling author.

00:03:00.530 --> 00:03:06.069
And he coaches, he teaches, and he writes. And

00:03:06.069 --> 00:03:10.370
he takes care of his family. Oh, wow. It puts

00:03:10.370 --> 00:03:20.639
me to shame, too. I just can't win, can I? It's

00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.919
perfect to not have all these things to do. Trust

00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:28.659
me. So what got you into having your own podcast?

00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:34.539
Well, I do blog features on my blog. And so I

00:03:34.539 --> 00:03:36.580
would do them live. So I would actually, you

00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:39.280
know, call the person or we do Zoom and they'd

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.020
be like so much fun over, you know, like live.

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.240
And so one day I just decided like, oh my gosh,

00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:48.900
like people really don't get to hear the excitement

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:52.639
or the fun that we have with doing these interviews.

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:55.000
So a friend suggested like, well, why don't you

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.659
start a podcast? And I was like, a podcast? Uh,

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:01.960
no, that's too much work. And I don't have time.

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:03.699
She was like, you got time to do blog interviews.

00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:07.379
So why not start a podcast? And so I was like,

00:04:07.580 --> 00:04:11.000
started doing a little research. And then I saw

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.479
that it really was easy. That it really wasn't

00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.019
as hard as I thought it was. And so I just decided

00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:19.680
to launch. Actually, it's been a year. I launched

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.779
on Father's Day last year. last year on father's

00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:29.560
day and it's just been amazing ever since you

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.660
and me both i've i've uh i've been enjoying it

00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:37.259
and i even said to my parents i wouldn't i wish

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:39.680
i kind of started a podcast before i started

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.220
a website yes yes and because it's costing me

00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:52.990
a lot of money yeah Give my lawyer free steak

00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:58.709
dinners. Exactly. Exactly. He's not taking me

00:04:58.709 --> 00:05:03.350
to steak dinners. Lobster dinners and steak dinners.

00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:08.110
I know. My web designer, I know he is like sitting

00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:12.550
pretty. Yeah. Well, we're working on it, but

00:05:12.550 --> 00:05:16.129
they're just like, hey, you know, thanks for

00:05:16.129 --> 00:05:20.829
the lobster dinner. Exactly. yeah exactly except

00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:24.490
to be fair my my lawyer is really great and helpful

00:05:24.490 --> 00:05:31.269
so and he's anonymous person so yeah i can be

00:05:31.269 --> 00:05:39.810
i can do without him uh so um tell me a little

00:05:39.810 --> 00:05:42.189
bit about your podcast what is what is it about

00:05:42.189 --> 00:05:48.420
well my podcast uh features You know, entrepreneurs

00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:52.800
as yourself. that are really like doing some

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.959
great things. Like they have businesses that

00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.519
other people in my audience, so my audience is

00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.920
kind of varied, but they are into fitness. They're

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.540
into wellness. They're into starting a business,

00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:10.040
finances. So I actually highlight and feature

00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.439
amazing men and women from all over the world,

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:17.639
from fitness guys like yourself to money whispers

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.120
like my friend Olga. to people who are just making

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.720
things happen in social media marketing, like

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.019
my friend Katie, just different people. Like

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:32.259
there's a variety of folks that I have on my

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:40.420
podcast. That is really interesting. It sounds

00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:48.800
like you're doing a lot of work over there. Sorry

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:57.459
about that. What's your... What do you think

00:06:57.459 --> 00:07:03.339
are your most struggles as an entrepreneur and

00:07:03.339 --> 00:07:09.699
a podcaster? The main one is really time. And

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:13.699
I say that lightly because if... If we schedule

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:18.740
ourselves how we should, if we schedule time

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:22.100
as we should, if we prioritize things, then time

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:26.199
really won't be a factor. But time seems to be

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.199
the biggest struggle that I have, as well as

00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.399
other entrepreneurs who have multiple business,

00:07:33.579 --> 00:07:37.259
as well as who work outside of the home. It's

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:40.939
almost like there's never time or enough time.

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:47.220
for everything to get done. So sometimes time

00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:51.819
is a huge, huge factor for me when it comes to

00:07:51.819 --> 00:07:56.480
taking care of my business and getting my podcast

00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:02.819
going. I have to interview for a certain number

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:05.540
of weeks and just pile up interviews. I just

00:08:05.540 --> 00:08:08.279
take that time to do that. and then I just release

00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.899
them, you know, as they come. Otherwise, I wouldn't

00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:16.939
have any guests on my podcast. I know that feeling.

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.699
I usually just kind of, that's why I only do

00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:29.540
my podcast monthly, because I'm running so much,

00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:32.480
so many other things, and I'm still in college.

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.570
Jeez Louise. Feels like an eternity in college.

00:08:39.470 --> 00:08:43.389
And I definitely know how you feel that I wish

00:08:43.389 --> 00:08:47.230
I could buy more time. Yeah. Can we have 48 hours

00:08:47.230 --> 00:08:53.370
in a day? Exactly. I'm not a night owl. I don't

00:08:53.370 --> 00:08:57.049
do well at night. And see, I'm the exact opposite.

00:08:57.289 --> 00:09:01.860
I am a night owl. And so sometimes that doesn't

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:04.379
work for me because I have to get up in the morning

00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:09.960
and go to work. So I think my peak productivity

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.399
time is night, but it doesn't work with the other

00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:19.580
job that I have, which is where I work in, you

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:23.720
know, the daytime. So I need to like not be up

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.669
half the night. you know working on stuff I need

00:09:27.669 --> 00:09:32.429
to get myself in the bed yeah well I know if

00:09:32.429 --> 00:09:36.009
I don't get enough sleep I'm you can I'm basically

00:09:36.009 --> 00:09:39.870
like the Hulk people should just like stay the

00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:43.389
heck away from me and say I need sleep give me

00:09:43.389 --> 00:09:49.190
it's like they work with a beast inside of me

00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:54.929
Hence the name because I'm a fitness guy. Wink,

00:09:54.929 --> 00:10:06.490
wink, ha, ha. So why did you come up with the

00:10:06.490 --> 00:10:12.549
name for your podcast? Well, everything else

00:10:12.549 --> 00:10:15.940
was kind of branded with my name. My blog is

00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:22.120
my name. My event management company is my initials.

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.500
And so when I first launched my podcast, I really

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:29.419
couldn't come up with something that was like

00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:33.460
cool, I thought. So my first name was like Confessions

00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:36.820
of a CEO. And so the premise behind that was

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:40.799
I wanted everyone on there to kind of like share

00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:45.019
something. That no one else kind of knew. Well,

00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:47.679
as you know, Jimmy, folks don't want to tell

00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.200
their business. So that didn't kind of work out

00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.960
as much. And so I was like, OK, well, that really

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.090
doesn't fit. You know what? I want and what I

00:10:58.090 --> 00:11:01.250
do and so when I decided to rebrand I was like

00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:04.950
everything else is named after myself um why

00:11:04.950 --> 00:11:08.110
not do that and then I saw my podcast as being

00:11:08.110 --> 00:11:11.570
a lot different than other podcasts where I really

00:11:11.570 --> 00:11:13.850
like conversations like what we're doing like

00:11:13.850 --> 00:11:16.769
it's not just a whole bunch of questions like

00:11:16.769 --> 00:11:19.610
I like for me and my guests to just have conversations

00:11:19.610 --> 00:11:23.230
and so I said okay let me just change the name

00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:25.470
to Convo with Keisha because that's really what

00:11:26.029 --> 00:11:29.009
you know, we're doing. And of course, it just

00:11:29.009 --> 00:11:31.090
kind of lines up with the other two brains I

00:11:31.090 --> 00:11:35.230
have just being named after myself. I totally

00:11:35.230 --> 00:11:36.870
agree with you. I like having conversations.

00:11:37.470 --> 00:11:40.429
Right now, basically all these questions I'm

00:11:40.429 --> 00:11:44.509
asking you is literally off the top of my head.

00:11:44.570 --> 00:11:47.309
I have no notes in front of me at all. Right.

00:11:48.730 --> 00:11:54.110
Exactly. I like it that way. I even said when

00:11:54.110 --> 00:11:57.669
I created this podcast, I don't think I could

00:11:57.669 --> 00:12:01.970
do one more thing that I can plan for. Every

00:12:01.970 --> 00:12:07.269
blog post I do, I have some bullet points. There

00:12:07.269 --> 00:12:12.490
was one podcast I did just to drop bullet points

00:12:12.490 --> 00:12:15.809
down, but I barely even used it during the podcast

00:12:15.809 --> 00:12:18.850
episode. I might have took a glance at it, but

00:12:18.850 --> 00:12:21.830
didn't even read it for word for word. Right,

00:12:21.830 --> 00:12:25.590
right, right. Yeah. You want it to be as natural

00:12:25.590 --> 00:12:29.289
as possible. I know for myself, I do have a forum

00:12:29.289 --> 00:12:32.929
that I have my guests fill out. Thanks to our

00:12:32.929 --> 00:12:36.789

00:12:36.789 --> 00:12:39.509

00:13:31.090 --> 00:13:34.509
own podcast. But it's really mainly to kind of

00:13:34.509 --> 00:13:38.250
gauge where they want to go with the conversation

00:13:38.250 --> 00:13:42.029
because you know more about your brand than I

00:13:42.029 --> 00:13:45.250
do, unless I know you personally. And so I want

00:13:45.250 --> 00:13:50.080
my audience to hear and... tap into those things

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.600
that you want to share with them so that's the

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.799
only reason why i have you know a form but i'm

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:57.940
like i just love for the conversation to flow

00:13:57.940 --> 00:14:00.879
because it's just kind of it just seems so natural

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.679
and people like authenticity they love just hearing

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:06.659
people talk about the things they're passionate

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:12.000
about and the things that they love out of the

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:19.159
out of those uh what do you think uh If you could

00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.559
change something about your podcast, would you

00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:31.360
do it? Probably have more subscribers. More downloads.

00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:37.970
Honestly, no. I think my podcast... It's where

00:14:37.970 --> 00:14:40.009
it should be, honestly. And I know some people

00:14:40.009 --> 00:14:42.409
may be like, oh, that's so cliche -ish. No, I

00:14:42.409 --> 00:14:45.110
honestly think it's where it needs to be right

00:14:45.110 --> 00:14:49.789
now at this moment. There's not a lot of pressure

00:14:49.789 --> 00:14:53.710
other than, like I said, you know, time. But

00:14:53.710 --> 00:14:58.289
I'm having fun doing it. It's so natural for

00:14:58.289 --> 00:15:01.250
me. And I was always someone that said, oh, I

00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:03.649
hate the sound of my voice. I will never, ever,

00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:06.169
like, do anything where I have to constantly

00:15:06.169 --> 00:15:09.710
use my voice. And look what I'm doing. Like,

00:15:09.730 --> 00:15:14.009
webinars, podcasts, all of these things. So I

00:15:14.009 --> 00:15:16.289
don't think I would change anything. I think

00:15:16.289 --> 00:15:19.269
my podcast is right where it needs to be. Boy,

00:15:19.389 --> 00:15:23.029
I wish I could say the same thing because I...

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:27.740
I hate the sound of my own voice. Every time

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:30.299
I go through the recording and everything, I

00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:32.600
was talking to my friend earlier, and he just

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:39.700
loves to mess with me and everything. And I told

00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:44.370
him how many plays that... that people listen

00:15:44.370 --> 00:15:47.149
to my podcast and he's just like oh so you listen

00:15:47.149 --> 00:15:50.330
to your voice 200 and something times and I was

00:15:50.330 --> 00:15:57.029
like I don't think I could do that I don't think

00:15:57.029 --> 00:16:01.269
I can listen to myself that long. I was like,

00:16:01.370 --> 00:16:04.049
each podcast episode was like 30 to 40 minutes.

00:16:04.690 --> 00:16:08.610
It's like, if I did that 200 something plus times,

00:16:08.710 --> 00:16:12.830
I was like, oh my goodness, no. Yeah, no, no

00:16:12.830 --> 00:16:18.370
way, no way. Every time I hear myself, it's like,

00:16:18.509 --> 00:16:21.009
why does everybody else seem louder than me?

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:29.279
I sound like a robot. Yeah, I'm the same way

00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.940
with myself. I'm like, okay, everybody else sounds

00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:35.940
so good. And I just sound like horrible. And

00:16:35.940 --> 00:16:39.679
I can only listen to myself like one time. And

00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.980
that's when I'm editing my podcast. So when my

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:46.600
podcast launches, I rarely listen to it. Like

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.960
I just don't. I don't even listen to my own.

00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:56.840
And it's like, I might play it by accident just

00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:01.700
to make sure that I didn't miss. I might go through

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:04.380
the whole thing just to make sure while I'm editing

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:08.299
I don't miss anything. Right. Other than that,

00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.180
it's like, yeah. Yeah, I'm like, no, I'm not

00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:17.119
a fan. I'm not a fan. I don't think I could even

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.859
do a voiceover for an audio book. I know. I know

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:24.559
I'm like the people who do you know those things

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:28.140
I think it's really cool but I don't yeah I couldn't

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:34.299
do it I want James Earl Jones voice yes or Morgan

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:40.259
Freeman or Morgan Freeman that's true yes oh

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:46.279
uh what's another one uh oh how about Mike Rowe

00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:55.779
from Dirty Jobs yes Yes, cool boy. I need to

00:17:55.779 --> 00:18:01.359
get him to do my podcast. It might sound more

00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:08.859
interesting. I want to have more jokes I can

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:10.859
come up with today. I'm just on a roll today.

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:17.079
You know, that's when it's a good day. Right,

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:20.480
exactly. We got to have fun in this life. I mean,

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:26.880
totally have to have fun. How do you manage to

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:33.380
take breaks when you run your own business? Well,

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.720
actually, I schedule them. So I come from...

00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:41.480
corporate which you know still there but leaving

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.819
soon actually but you know in corporate they

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:48.559
teach us that what gets scheduled gets done and

00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.640
it's really true so it's it's honestly um game

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.119
changing when you can schedule most of your day

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.779
i mean you have to make time for those you know

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:03.660
what i call you know oh shit moments excuse my

00:19:03.660 --> 00:19:06.059
expression but you you have to make time for

00:19:06.059 --> 00:19:09.220
those Because they happen. Like today, me, I

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:11.619
was like, okay, I'm going to get off early. I'm

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:14.039
going to get home and I can prepare for Jimmy

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.480
and be ready. Okay, well, it was torrential rain.

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.480
So guess what? I didn't get to leave early. I

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.319
had to wait until the rain slows down. But, you

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.000
know, it was a time for me to, you know, come

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.920
home, take a break, relax, and get prepared to

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.380
talk with you. Well, something came up and I

00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:34.579
couldn't do that. You have to schedule in time

00:19:34.579 --> 00:19:36.960
for yourself. You have to schedule in self -care.

00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:40.279
Being an entrepreneur is not easy, but it's so,

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:44.420
so rewarding. So if you don't take breaks to

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:47.960
refuel and re -energize, you can't serve those

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.019
people who trust you. You can't serve those people

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:54.200
who pay you to take care of things for them.

00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:57.380
So breaks, they're a must. You have to take them.

00:19:58.299 --> 00:20:04.380
That's true. I know for myself, next week I'm

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:08.460
actually taking a break myself because I need

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:13.619
a break. Yeah. And it's funny, speaking of which,

00:20:13.660 --> 00:20:17.539
of corporate, you want to leave corporate and

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:20.819
yet somehow a lot of people around me are trying

00:20:20.819 --> 00:20:23.759
to say, oh, well, maybe you should take a job

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:30.000
in corporate or get a job in... and let the government

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.759
take care of you. I'm not lazy and I don't really

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:39.359
care. Right? No, I'm getting out. I'm getting

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:44.240
out. But it comes with perks. Yeah, an early

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:52.119
grave or... Right? Exactly. Stress. I've never

00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.859
been in a corporate, but... But seeing my dad

00:20:56.859 --> 00:21:01.400
come home every single night for the many years,

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:06.339
getting frustrated at his job and say, is that

00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:09.400
what corporate does? Because I don't want any

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:17.039
part of that world. Yes. It's so, I mean, I think

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.680
about it. Yeah, and I think about it like this,

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:22.680
Jimmy. Why would I want to dedicate my life to

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.920
someone who controls how much money I make? As

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.880
an entrepreneur, no one controls how much money

00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:31.940
I make but me. If I get out there and bust my

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:35.279
tail and I make it happen, then I'm controlling

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.900
the dollars that come into my business. It doesn't

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:41.200
matter how hard I work, how much someone may

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.740
prefer coming to my store than going to another

00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:47.460
person's store. My salary is going to... remain

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:51.259
the same. It's not going to change. But as an

00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:55.099
entrepreneur, I can decide how much money I want

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:58.380
to make. I can decide, you know, what my caps

00:21:58.380 --> 00:22:02.309
or what my limits are. And I'm doing it on my

00:22:02.309 --> 00:22:05.529
own terms. I'm not, you know, other than, you

00:22:05.529 --> 00:22:07.789
know, the laws of the city and the state and

00:22:07.789 --> 00:22:10.730
in the government. But beyond that, I make my

00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:13.230
own rules. I'm my own boss. I work when I want

00:22:13.230 --> 00:22:15.109
to work. I go to bed when I want to go to bed.

00:22:15.269 --> 00:22:17.410
I take breaks when I want to take breaks. Like,

00:22:17.430 --> 00:22:22.069
I'm not governed by any other forces but my own.

00:22:22.150 --> 00:22:24.970
I have total autonomy and I have total control

00:22:24.970 --> 00:22:31.099
of my entire life. No one controls that. That

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:33.359
way a bunch of pawns in their game from the government?

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.279
Oh my goodness. Oh, this is a newsflash to me.

00:22:39.940 --> 00:22:51.230
Yikes. Oh boy. That's scary. Might as well have

00:22:51.230 --> 00:22:55.230
the Terminator take over the world too. As long

00:22:55.230 --> 00:22:57.130
as you do right, they stay out your business.

00:22:57.210 --> 00:23:00.670
Trust me, they don't bother you too much. Other

00:23:00.670 --> 00:23:02.970
than when it's tax time to pay them taxes on

00:23:02.970 --> 00:23:05.769
that business. That's it. Uncle Sam wants his

00:23:05.769 --> 00:23:09.809
taxes. Yeah, that's it. That's all they want

00:23:09.809 --> 00:23:11.809
is their tax money. They'll leave you alone.

00:23:14.069 --> 00:23:20.910
Yeah. Be nice if they left me a lot of loans.

00:23:23.390 --> 00:23:27.470
They always want more money from me. More money.

00:23:27.650 --> 00:23:32.410
More money. Yes. I think they should give me

00:23:32.410 --> 00:23:35.029
more. I think they should give me money. I agree.

00:23:36.089 --> 00:23:39.569
They should give us more money. Yes. Like give

00:23:39.569 --> 00:23:42.910
it to us instead of taking it. It's not like

00:23:42.910 --> 00:23:47.460
it goes to anywhere useful anyway. Yeah. You

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:51.400
know that's a whole other conversation. That

00:23:51.400 --> 00:24:04.619
is the truth. Exactly. Who do you think out of

00:24:04.619 --> 00:24:06.940
all your guests that you have on your podcast,

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:11.579
who would you say would be your favorite? My

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:15.369
favorite? Hmm. And now you don't have to say

00:24:15.369 --> 00:24:19.990
me. Oh my gosh, you are missing me. I don't think

00:24:19.990 --> 00:24:22.869
I really have a favorite. And I say that because

00:24:22.869 --> 00:24:26.869
everybody brings a different experience and a

00:24:26.869 --> 00:24:33.769
different set of experience or livelihood to

00:24:33.769 --> 00:24:37.390
my show. I look at it like my friend Katie says.

00:24:37.829 --> 00:24:41.500
Everybody that comes on my show, you... Even

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:45.599
when Katie came on, I had a money expert, Takesha,

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:49.059
come on. All of these people, it's like me attending

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:52.099
a university because not only do they give my

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:54.819
audience, you know, great information, but I'm

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:57.680
soaking in all of that information too. So I

00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.319
get to learn a lot. I get to talk to people from

00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.319
all over the world for free. Like I get to go

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:09.759
to Oxford Educated. Harvard educated, Yale educated,

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:15.460
Spelman educated, you know, guests for free.

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.920
Like I'm getting all the goods for free. So I

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.279
don't think I really have a favorite one. Everybody

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.200
brings a fresh perspective and a fresh experience

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.279
to my show. And so it would be hard for me to

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:31.519
pick, you know, someone that would be considered

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:36.480
a favorite. Right. I think after you just said

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.599
all of that, I think you might have to give me

00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:43.880
some of these contacts. Don't mind, my friend.

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:47.940
They are some awesome people. I need more contacts

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:50.920
because, oh my goodness, I feel like I'm running

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:55.309
out. I feel like I'm running low. You know I

00:25:55.309 --> 00:25:58.789
don't mind sharing. Sharing is caring. Hey, that's

00:25:58.789 --> 00:26:02.490
actually one of my, I actually have share buttons

00:26:02.490 --> 00:26:04.369
that say that on my website. Sharing is caring.

00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:13.509
Yes. Yes. I don't mind at all. What do you think,

00:26:13.509 --> 00:26:23.430
what do you think is the most, Do you find that

00:26:23.430 --> 00:26:28.490
it's a struggle to learn new things every single

00:26:28.490 --> 00:26:33.650
day as an entrepreneur? I think it is in the

00:26:33.650 --> 00:26:38.349
sense of being able to dedicate the time to it.

00:26:38.369 --> 00:26:41.910
Because as an entrepreneur, you have the most

00:26:41.910 --> 00:26:44.990
freedom, you have autonomy, but you are also

00:26:44.990 --> 00:26:48.470
responsible for every single solitary thing.

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:53.759
You have to learn new things. You have to adapt,

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.519
especially now, you know, Jimmy, think about

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.380
it. When COVID came out, we all had to adapt.

00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:03.579
So as an entrepreneur, you have to learn, you

00:27:03.579 --> 00:27:06.920
have to adapt to different things, but you also

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:08.940
want to make sure you're doing it the right way.

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:13.460
So I think it's kind of hard to take in new things

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:17.500
every single day, but it is something that we

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:20.539
should strive to do because. I mean, we have

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:23.299
to, we have to now because there's a lot going

00:27:23.299 --> 00:27:32.259
on. I totally agree. Except for maybe, I don't

00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:35.359
think Apple will like this one, but except for

00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:41.440
Apple's new. update where they're going to have

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.059
Safari block Google Analytics for pretty much

00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:47.640
every single website out there in the whole world,

00:27:47.660 --> 00:27:54.220
which will mess up everybody's data. Yes. I don't

00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:58.460
think we should be able to adapt to that. Not

00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:01.740
at all, because some of us look forward to them

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:03.859
analytics, honey. I need to know who's going

00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:08.140
to my site. Yeah, exactly. You know, this is

00:28:08.140 --> 00:28:11.440
funny, and I know this is off topic, but I just

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.700
have to say it anyway, but I don't really care.

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:21.880
It's amazing that they think that they're, yeah,

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.539
it's going to hurt Google a little bit, but it's

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:27.720
not going to make them go away. Right. And two,

00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:34.279
pretty much every website that I know of. At

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:37.400
least I think everybody that I know of out there

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.339
uses some sort of Google Analytics or some form

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:43.339
of analytics tool. And if you're going to block

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:47.240
that, you know how much data you're messing up?

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:52.940
Yeah, a lot. A lot. And so even if they think

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:54.539
that they're going to hurt Google, they're going

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:57.240
to hurt everybody else. It's collateral damage.

00:28:58.140 --> 00:29:04.180
Exactly. Where's the lawmakers on that? Nowhere.

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:07.460
They're somewhere probably hiding, not worried

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:13.599
about it. They only worry about it when it's

00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:18.880
affecting them. That's the only time they think

00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.480
about it. Right now, it could or could not be

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.400
affecting them, so they don't care. Yeah, but

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.079
when everybody's data is messed up and And everybody's

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.920
blocked out of, and no one knows if anybody's

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:40.720
reading their website from any Apple users. Right.

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:45.480
I don't see this going over very well for them.

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:51.819
Not at all. I don't either. I don't either. No

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:54.480
offense, Tim Cook, if you listen, but I hope

00:29:54.480 --> 00:30:00.400
it really backfires. Okay, now back on topic.

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:07.019
I'm sorry. That was my rant for the day. I just

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:10.740
heard this news yesterday around my Facebook

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:18.180
group. I was like, no, that's great. I was like,

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:20.640
always one more roadblock. Speaking of roadblocks,

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:26.859
how do you manage to get over roadblocks? Well,

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.019
I am a personality, so I don't even see roadblocks

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:37.839
as roadblocks. I see them as opportunities for

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:44.099
me to rethink or do something better because

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:48.319
there's no one way to do anything. There's, you

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.980
know, there's really not any right way unless

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:55.579
you're breaking the law, but you kind of make

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:59.170
your own way. And so when roadblocks come up,

00:30:59.210 --> 00:31:04.430
it makes me pause and say, okay, Lakeisha, what

00:31:04.430 --> 00:31:07.450
are your processes? Are your processes out of

00:31:07.450 --> 00:31:10.430
whack? Did you not fully, you know, think this

00:31:10.430 --> 00:31:14.230
out? Because I am a personality, I move rather

00:31:14.230 --> 00:31:17.410
quickly. I move super quick. Like you can drop

00:31:17.410 --> 00:31:20.890
an idea and I'm like. already two steps ahead

00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:23.289
of you with planning it out and how we're going

00:31:23.289 --> 00:31:29.009
to execute it. So sometimes roadblocks, aka opportunities,

00:31:29.089 --> 00:31:32.329
are ways for me to slow myself down and say,

00:31:32.410 --> 00:31:34.690
look, homegirl, you need to rethink this thing.

00:31:34.990 --> 00:31:38.109
Because if it's this many problems with launching

00:31:38.109 --> 00:31:40.230
it, or if it's this many problems with making

00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:43.789
it work, you missed something along the way.

00:31:43.890 --> 00:31:48.750
So sometimes it makes me back up. and then rethink

00:31:48.750 --> 00:31:52.269
what i'm doing and then nine times out of ten

00:31:52.269 --> 00:31:56.369
i'll say most of the time uh it yields me a better

00:31:56.369 --> 00:31:58.630
result because i have missed a step in there

00:31:58.630 --> 00:32:02.269
because i'm moving so fast or i didn't consider

00:32:02.269 --> 00:32:06.509
uh one piece of information that would make the

00:32:06.509 --> 00:32:09.210
whole thing work right so yeah i look at them

00:32:09.210 --> 00:32:11.109
as opportunities it's a chance for me to slow

00:32:11.109 --> 00:32:14.700
down and rethink some stuff right You're going

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:18.220
to have to teach me that one because I need some

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:26.460
of that. If only you knew the type of day I had

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:32.900
yesterday. Don't even get me started. That's

00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:37.759
another story for another time. A very, very

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:47.039
long story. What do you think you find the most

00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:53.259
fun about having a podcast? Oh, my gosh. It's

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:56.759
meeting so many different people from all over

00:32:56.759 --> 00:33:01.400
the world, not just city, state, country, but

00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.900
all over the world. I've had guests in Bali.

00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.960
I've had guests from the UK. I've had guests

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.559
from Nigeria. I mean, all over. And even here

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:18.099
locally in the States, I've had guests, Hawaii,

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:24.910
you name it. So for me, it's fun to... Talk to

00:33:24.910 --> 00:33:28.650
people from different countries, different cultures,

00:33:28.869 --> 00:33:35.230
different backgrounds. It's so rewarding to me

00:33:35.230 --> 00:33:40.230
to tap into people who are so knowledgeable about

00:33:40.230 --> 00:33:44.349
their subject matter. And then they live across

00:33:44.349 --> 00:33:48.069
the country or they live across the world. I

00:33:48.069 --> 00:33:52.279
think that's the most fun to me. Just curiosity,

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:56.559
where do you live anyway? I'm in Houston, Texas.

00:33:57.140 --> 00:34:03.960
Oh. For whatever reason, I don't know where I

00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:08.659
am. I don't know. I guess I've met too many people.

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:15.119
I was looking somewhere else. Whoops. Yep, I'm

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.909
in all Houston, Texas. oh man i should stop by

00:34:19.909 --> 00:34:25.250
there next time yes yes i need to escape this

00:34:25.250 --> 00:34:30.289
whole i feel like i'm even though i'm at my shore

00:34:30.289 --> 00:34:32.429
house i feel like i'm in a prison i don't know

00:34:32.429 --> 00:34:38.710
house arrest i didn't get anything we all kind

00:34:38.710 --> 00:34:41.510
of feeling that you know a little bit but i'm

00:34:41.510 --> 00:34:44.110
okay with it as long as i don't get sick i'm

00:34:44.110 --> 00:34:47.800
okay with being in the house I'm okay to a certain

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.360
extent, but I'm getting tired of this whole thing.

00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.320
And I think I'm able to get my hair cut next

00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.860
week, which I can't wait. Hell yeah. People say

00:35:00.860 --> 00:35:04.099
I should keep my hair this long. I hate it. It's

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:09.440
just, it's messing up my, I don't know, I get

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.400
these curly cues in my hair now. I might as well

00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:22.699
need a hairstylist too. Too bad I'm not a Hollywood

00:35:22.699 --> 00:35:26.639
actor. Yeah, you'd probably have somebody else

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.119
speed dial. They would have came and taken care

00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:34.039
of you. Yeah, that'd be nice. Help, come over

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:47.769
here. I need my hair. I need to be famous. uh

00:35:47.769 --> 00:35:51.650
jess uh how do you meet these uh guests of yours

00:35:51.650 --> 00:35:56.869
well some of them are referrals um so when i

00:35:56.869 --> 00:36:00.690
first started my podcast my network is huge because

00:36:00.690 --> 00:36:04.809
i you know i'm an event planner by trade so my

00:36:04.809 --> 00:36:09.119
network is kind of big but um Some of them were

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:11.179
referrals. Some of them were people that I knew

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:15.059
personally that I wanted to have on my podcast.

00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.019
And then I joined a couple of Facebook groups.

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:38.400
So that's another way that... Go to audiostack

doing? They were also playing Chumba Casino.

and, you know, one of them is a particular podcast.

00:37:29.789 --> 00:37:32.969
Facebook group and so you can post in there if

00:37:32.969 --> 00:37:36.329
you're looking for guests and you know the type

00:37:36.329 --> 00:37:39.389
of guests you're looking for you can even tell

00:37:39.389 --> 00:37:42.469
people that you're wanting to be a guest on their

00:37:42.469 --> 00:37:46.969
show but most of my guests have been referrals

00:37:46.969 --> 00:37:50.650
from someone so like I interview you and you

00:37:50.650 --> 00:37:52.949
may say hey I got three other people that I think

00:37:52.949 --> 00:37:55.809
would be perfect for your show they send them

00:37:55.809 --> 00:37:58.369
over we kind of chat see if we're a good fit

00:37:58.940 --> 00:38:04.179
Bam. We schedule and we get it recorded. Jeez.

00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:09.760
After this episode, we're going to have to have

00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:15.059
a little talk about all this because now you

00:38:15.059 --> 00:38:18.960
make me really pick my interest up of the Facebook

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:29.539
group too. Yeah. It's very beneficial. What do

00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:37.099
you think, do you make the, just out of curiosity,

00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:42.800
do you make your own, like, templates for your

00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:50.699
podcast? Yes, I do. I am the Canva Queen. I love

00:38:50.699 --> 00:38:55.500
Canva. And so I just play around in Canva and

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:57.360
just kind of come up with something. And then

00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:59.659
I just use the same template because, you know,

00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:04.059
continuity in your brand is really a good thing.

00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:07.440
So I make up like one thing and then I just use

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.860
it, you know, for all of it. So I am in Canva,

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:18.440
honey, all the time. Your work inspires me. Oh,

00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:26.900
thank you. it's uh i've seen um yeah i like what

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:33.400
you have done uh i think it's uh really compelling

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:38.380
except uh i don't know if you know this uh since

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:42.760
we both use anchor uh and no this is not a sponsor

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:52.980
commercial uh but that's that's later But I don't

00:39:52.980 --> 00:39:57.659
know if you know that there is an option to remove

00:39:57.659 --> 00:40:06.519
the Anchor logo. Really? Yeah. Like for your

00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:13.539
podcast art, I know that. But do you use their

00:40:13.539 --> 00:40:20.059
logo on their podcast art? I don't on the ones

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:26.699
that I post on social unless I'm marketing all

00:40:26.699 --> 00:40:29.840
of the platforms that I'm on. Of course, with

00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:32.960
Anchor, they put us out to all these different

00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:39.239
other platforms like Google. Apple and all of

00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:44.079
those other ones. I don't really use the Anchor

00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:46.159
logo a lot, which I don't mind, but I always

00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:52.619
have my Anchor web address on my materials. That

00:40:52.619 --> 00:40:59.940
makes sense. What do you think when you're running

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:04.019
your podcast and business, what do you think

00:41:04.019 --> 00:41:10.340
is done? One of the most annoying things that

00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:14.800
annoy you about what other people do, like, let

00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:20.380
me give you an example. I saw this one podcaster.

00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.840
They only had their podcast on Apple podcast.

00:41:26.500 --> 00:41:30.260
And to me, right off the bat, it was like a topic

00:41:30.260 --> 00:41:34.059
that I was interested in. And they sounded like

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:38.090
they. know a lot about a certain topic. I'm not

00:41:38.090 --> 00:41:44.289
specifying the topic because I don't need that

00:41:44.289 --> 00:41:49.510
person knowing that I'm saying something. Right.

00:41:50.429 --> 00:41:55.929
I really wanted to listen to their podcast and

00:41:55.929 --> 00:41:59.219
it was on a topic that I really liked. And I

00:41:59.219 --> 00:42:02.559
want to know more about it. Because just reading

00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:07.440
about articles or books or whatever kind of gets

00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:12.039
boring. And they sound like they're an authority

00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:17.400
in that niche. But what kind of bummed me out

00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:21.179
is that it was only on Apple Podcasts. And I

00:42:21.179 --> 00:42:27.219
have an Android phone. Now, why don't you publish

00:42:27.219 --> 00:42:30.179
it on multiple platforms? It's not like it's

00:42:30.179 --> 00:42:32.519
going to cost you anything else. You just take

00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:37.820
your RSS feed and you submit it to the other

00:42:37.820 --> 00:42:40.659
platforms and every episode you come out with

00:42:40.659 --> 00:42:45.320
will go on there automatically. Right. I was

00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.980
like, yeah, it takes some time. I did mine over

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:53.440
two to three days maybe, maybe a day and a half.

00:42:53.619 --> 00:42:57.619
I don't know. I know it wasn't a week. I know

00:42:57.619 --> 00:43:02.400
it wasn't four days or five days. Right. Exactly.

00:43:05.340 --> 00:43:10.000
That's true. What do you think annoys you about

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:17.829
what other people do? I hate when they are that

00:43:17.829 --> 00:43:21.210
way. It's only on one platform. I don't think

00:43:21.210 --> 00:43:26.949
you open it up to other guests. You're not considering

00:43:26.949 --> 00:43:31.309
other people who may be interested in hearing

00:43:31.309 --> 00:43:35.929
your podcast when you do that. I can't stand

00:43:35.929 --> 00:43:43.030
guests who are not on time or people who... you

00:43:43.030 --> 00:43:46.210
know, want you on the podcast and they don't

00:43:46.210 --> 00:43:48.909
even communicate with you about like what's going

00:43:48.909 --> 00:43:54.869
on or they have tons of ads, Jimmy, like how

00:43:54.869 --> 00:43:57.429
many commercials do you need on your podcast?

00:43:57.690 --> 00:44:01.929
I'm sorry. Like, I know that we, you know, some

00:44:01.929 --> 00:44:03.730
people are like, oh, well, you know, your sponsors

00:44:03.730 --> 00:44:05.789
help keep your show running and these things.

00:44:05.829 --> 00:44:09.920
I get that. Trust me. I do. I get it. But I don't

00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:12.159
want to listen to a podcast and there's like

00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:17.179
15 ads on that one podcast. So I'm thinking I'm

00:44:17.179 --> 00:44:19.760
listening to an hour -long podcast when I'm actually

00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:25.840
listening to like 15 minutes. Because you had

00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:29.920
like 20, you know, you had 20 ads on your podcast.

00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:33.659
Like, no. Okay, what's your limit of ads then?

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:38.860
What's your top limit of ads? I think, honestly,

00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.460
you should have no more than like maybe three,

00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:47.820
maybe four. I'll say maybe four, you know, if

00:44:47.820 --> 00:44:51.139
you're trying to split it up. But people don't

00:44:51.139 --> 00:44:53.760
listen to your podcast for your freaking ads.

00:44:54.139 --> 00:44:58.480
They listen to your podcast to hear you or to

00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.639
hear the guests that you have on. So to have

00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:05.760
like a ton of ads to me is just highly disrespectful.

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:12.380
Right. It's just way too much. I kind of, for

00:45:12.380 --> 00:45:16.739
me, and I'm kind of guilty of it, I put like

00:45:16.739 --> 00:45:25.519
four, mostly four, maybe six, depending on how

00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:31.119
long it is, but I break it up in like maybe every

00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:36.130
six to... 10 minutes so then it's spread out

00:45:36.130 --> 00:45:39.309
so you still get a good chunk of time before

00:45:39.309 --> 00:45:43.329
you hear another ad and it's like oh two minutes

00:45:43.329 --> 00:45:47.489
and it's not like a tv commercial right right

00:45:47.489 --> 00:45:53.750
right yeah i've heard some podcasts where there

00:45:53.750 --> 00:45:58.429
were so many ads to where i mean i couldn't even

00:45:58.429 --> 00:46:02.130
remember what the podcast was about It was that

00:46:02.130 --> 00:46:06.150
many ads. And so I was just like, it's just too

00:46:06.150 --> 00:46:11.710
much. Well, have you ever listened to my other

00:46:11.710 --> 00:46:15.710
four? Is it four? I think it's four episodes

00:46:15.710 --> 00:46:18.789
now. I even forget how many episodes I recorded.

00:46:21.489 --> 00:46:25.869
Oh my gosh. Maybe it's five. Maybe it's six.

00:46:26.030 --> 00:46:29.269
I don't know. that that's my that's busyness

00:46:29.269 --> 00:46:33.150
I've heard one um of your episodes and again

00:46:33.150 --> 00:46:36.389
this this is me on the fly because I most of

00:46:36.389 --> 00:46:39.090
the time I don't listen to the radio I don't

00:46:39.090 --> 00:46:42.500
listen to music like I have a Spotify um you

00:46:42.500 --> 00:46:44.820
know, membership, but I use it to listen to,

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:47.800
yeah, I listen to it, you know, for my podcast,

00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:50.639
to listen to podcasts. So I'm always listening

00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:55.239
to podcasts, like either on my way to work, either

00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:57.559
when I'm getting dressed in the morning, you

00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:02.559
know, those things. So I do listen to other podcasters.

00:47:02.579 --> 00:47:04.739
Of course, I was going to listen to yours. Like

00:47:04.739 --> 00:47:06.980
you were on mine. So of course I was going to.

00:47:07.630 --> 00:47:10.349
do that, but I don't think you had a bunch of

00:47:10.349 --> 00:47:14.050
ads. I think yours was fine, but it's just some

00:47:14.050 --> 00:47:16.710
of the ones. I think it's mainly the famous people.

00:47:16.809 --> 00:47:19.269
Let me just say that. Most of the famous people

00:47:19.269 --> 00:47:22.929
who have podcasts, I know they do it because

00:47:22.929 --> 00:47:24.849
they're trying to market their products or whatever,

00:47:25.030 --> 00:47:31.949
but it's so annoying. 15 ,000 ads in an hour

00:47:31.949 --> 00:47:38.099
time space. That's a lot. I think that I think

00:47:38.099 --> 00:47:46.139
Lewis Howes doesn't do that many ads. He does

00:47:46.139 --> 00:47:49.920
some in the beginning and then some at the very

00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:53.219
end and maybe one in the middle, but it's not

00:47:53.219 --> 00:47:57.900
like I'm going to bombard you with 25 million

00:47:57.900 --> 00:48:08.690
ads. I think there's one with Elrod, and he doesn't

00:48:08.690 --> 00:48:13.670
have too many ads. He might, like, talk about

00:48:13.670 --> 00:48:18.289
his own products, like, I mean, like, from his

00:48:18.289 --> 00:48:21.789
website, like, what he does, but he's not like,

00:48:21.889 --> 00:48:27.250
oh, I'm promoting this as an advertisement. Right.

00:48:27.889 --> 00:48:32.530
Because pretty much I could, like, I have so

00:48:32.530 --> 00:48:34.610
many products that I use. I could like bummer

00:48:34.610 --> 00:48:38.070
to everybody with all the stuff I use. But it

00:48:38.070 --> 00:48:41.489
doesn't mean I'm going to do it. Right, right.

00:48:41.889 --> 00:48:43.630
Hell, I wouldn't even want to listen to myself

00:48:43.630 --> 00:48:49.889
afterwards. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know,

00:48:49.929 --> 00:48:53.809
you do a mixture of them. And of course, if,

00:48:53.909 --> 00:48:56.429
you know, you're someone who has a brand, like,

00:48:56.449 --> 00:48:58.409
you know, you have a brand, you have a business.

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:01.019
You know, I have brands and I have businesses,

00:49:01.179 --> 00:49:05.320
you know, I think that's okay. And even, you

00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:07.880
know, thinking now, like I don't even have ads

00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:12.860
of my own stuff on my podcast, which, you know,

00:49:12.860 --> 00:49:16.139
it's probably kind of crazy because maybe I should,

00:49:16.260 --> 00:49:20.699
but, you know, I don't really think people want

00:49:20.699 --> 00:49:24.699
to spend their time, you know, listening to a

00:49:24.699 --> 00:49:30.360
lot of. other things when their whole the whole

00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.599
reason why they're there or they're tuning in

00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:36.840
is to hear you that's the whole reason why they're

00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:41.739
tuning in exactly i get tired of ads too i think

00:49:41.739 --> 00:49:45.079
that's why i really have stopped watching tv

00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:48.920
a lot yes i think the only thing now i've watched

00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:52.320
during the summer months now is america's got

00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.019
talent because I like Terry Crews. You're just

00:49:57.019 --> 00:50:00.679
funny. He reminds me of Nick Cannon, though.

00:50:03.139 --> 00:50:07.000
Yeah, I haven't watched it in a long, long time.

00:50:07.059 --> 00:50:11.699
And I don't watch a lot of TV. I'm just always

00:50:11.699 --> 00:50:16.159
busy. And I hate to say that. I hate when people

00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:18.079
tell me all the time, oh, I'm busy, busy, busy.

00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:21.039
Like, oh, shut up. You're not that busy. But

00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:24.639
honestly, like... I don't watch a lot of TV.

00:50:26.820 --> 00:50:29.159
Normally from my, you know, my corporate job,

00:50:29.340 --> 00:50:33.159
I take two days off a week. And one day is probably

00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.480
like a day I go really hard in all my businesses.

00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:40.239
You know, I prioritize and I plan out, you know,

00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:42.960
with my assistant, things that I'm going to do

00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.460
for that one particular day. And then probably

00:50:45.460 --> 00:50:49.019
that second day that I'm off. I may watch some

00:50:49.019 --> 00:50:53.059
TV or I may be watching like Netflix or Hulu

00:50:53.059 --> 00:50:55.320
or something like that, but I'm not really into

00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:57.860
TV. I'm like you, I get annoyed with all of the

00:50:57.860 --> 00:51:04.719
foolishness that's on there. It's like, so basically

00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.139
you're telling me that's not really a day off

00:51:07.139 --> 00:51:12.679
then. Not really, I guess. I guess you're right.

00:51:13.849 --> 00:51:17.250
I think we need to look at a day off in the dictionary

00:51:17.250 --> 00:51:20.550
because I've lost what a day off is. What is

00:51:20.550 --> 00:51:23.269
a day off? I don't know what a day off is. Like,

00:51:23.269 --> 00:51:26.650
when was the last time I had one? You know? Like,

00:51:26.650 --> 00:51:29.710
truly had a day off. I think the last time I

00:51:29.710 --> 00:51:38.670
had a day off was... I don't know. Yeah, you

00:51:38.670 --> 00:51:41.869
definitely need a day off. yeah i actually i

00:51:41.869 --> 00:51:45.409
think the one day off i had uh well it was a

00:51:45.409 --> 00:51:50.190
40 weekend was uh oh it was a memorial day weekend

00:51:50.190 --> 00:51:54.889
and that was it yeah and so because i'm in retail

00:51:54.889 --> 00:51:59.869
there's really no days off you know because people

00:51:59.869 --> 00:52:05.199
i think they might have to read um Rethink that

00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:09.460
one after this whole coronavirus. 24 -7 stores.

00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:14.179
Let's close at 8. I'm pretty sure I'm not going

00:52:14.179 --> 00:52:16.500
to the grocery store at 11 o 'clock at night.

00:52:17.139 --> 00:52:20.360
Yeah. And, you know, I never understood why,

00:52:20.519 --> 00:52:24.380
even as a retail manager, you know, that we're

00:52:24.380 --> 00:52:28.119
open that late. I think we give people and, you

00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:31.659
know, I know people may disagree with this, but

00:52:31.659 --> 00:52:33.860
I think we give people way too many options.

00:52:35.260 --> 00:52:38.760
There should be no need for stores to be open

00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:41.760
that late. Like, get what you need to get within

00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:45.539
a certain time. And, you know, let people go

00:52:45.539 --> 00:52:48.699
home to their families. And I do understand that

00:52:48.699 --> 00:52:51.099
there are people who do work, you know, like

00:52:51.099 --> 00:52:54.440
overnight shifts and, you know, stuff like that.

00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.320
So I'm definitely not trying to, you know, say

00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:00.739
like it's not important for them to be able to

00:53:00.739 --> 00:53:02.719
get stuff. But I mean, really, truly, what do

00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:06.559
you need to get at 11 o 'clock at night, at 12

00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:08.820
o 'clock at night? Like, what do you need to

00:53:08.820 --> 00:53:15.320
get? I need a midnight snack. you need to get

00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:19.500
that while they are open figure it out maybe

00:53:19.500 --> 00:53:22.559
some is maybe they went sleepwalking and they're

00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.920
walking to the store uh i need something to eat

00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:32.260
or something yeah yeah and now it's so bad you

00:53:32.260 --> 00:53:35.579
know where to me i feel like people are just

00:53:35.579 --> 00:53:38.400
coming in the store just You know, they want

00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.320
to get out of the house. They're tired of being

00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:42.119
in the house. But the grocery store is not the

00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:48.039
place to be. You know, that's not. There are

00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:50.780
so many ads these days wherever you go. There

00:53:50.780 --> 00:53:54.239
are ads in movie theaters, on TV, on radio, and

00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:56.880
on billboards. So why would you want to listen

00:53:56.880 --> 00:54:00.260

be coming to hang out. Yeah. Maybe go hang out

in a park six feet social distance. Yes. Your

00:54:44.630 --> 00:54:47.269
friend's house if they don't have any symptoms

00:54:47.269 --> 00:54:51.309
and just hang out. I don't know. Right. Exactly.

Find something else to do but the grocery store

00:54:53.969 --> 00:54:56.949
is not the spot to hang out. Not even a mall

00:54:56.949 --> 00:55:01.269

00:56:03.940 --> 00:56:08.760
I feel like we're in a zombie apocalypse. Yes.

00:56:08.940 --> 00:56:13.460
That is exactly what it feels like. That's exactly

00:56:13.460 --> 00:56:21.280
what it feels like. Do you find when you're playing

00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:26.510
your days off and your self -care, do you find

00:56:26.510 --> 00:56:30.969
that you take them? Um, do you find that you,

00:56:31.070 --> 00:56:34.849
uh, obviously, uh, do you find that it's helpful

00:56:34.849 --> 00:56:40.289
that you, uh, uh, that you take it and, and do

00:56:40.289 --> 00:56:43.250
you find that, that it's, uh, benefits you in

00:56:43.250 --> 00:56:48.329
your business? Yes. Yes. I will. It is very rare.

00:56:49.670 --> 00:56:55.769
I say out of a month where, you know, I may schedule

00:56:55.769 --> 00:57:01.650
10 off days, 10 self -care days, maybe eight

00:57:01.650 --> 00:57:05.469
or nine are actually taken. It's very rare that

00:57:05.469 --> 00:57:09.130
I'm going to miss those opportunities to relax

00:57:09.130 --> 00:57:12.530
because, again, I can't do this business if I'm

00:57:12.530 --> 00:57:15.739
not at my best. And so in order for me to be

00:57:15.739 --> 00:57:18.380
at my best, that means that I have to take time

00:57:18.380 --> 00:57:20.880
off and I have to relax and I have to rejuvenate.

00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.719
And I have to just, you know, sometimes get still.

00:57:23.980 --> 00:57:27.860
I have to go away. So self -care and days off

00:57:27.860 --> 00:57:30.480
are super important to me. Even my staff members,

00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:32.940
I'm the same way with them. I will not call them

00:57:32.940 --> 00:57:36.630
on their days off. they deserve those days off

00:57:36.630 --> 00:57:39.869
they work very very hard and when you work hard

00:57:39.869 --> 00:57:43.969
serving other people you know as in retail you

00:57:43.969 --> 00:57:46.710
know grocery stores or even malls or whatever

00:57:46.710 --> 00:57:50.769
you you need that time to just just focus on

00:57:50.769 --> 00:57:55.510
yourself and and just get time to relax because

00:57:55.510 --> 00:57:59.429
it's a lot that's going on especially now but

00:57:59.429 --> 00:58:05.239
yeah I always always take my self -care or my

00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:09.320
off days, always. Boy, I wish my dad's work when

00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:14.440
I was growing up, I wish his work left him alone,

00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:18.500
but since everybody got cell phones and computers,

00:58:18.940 --> 00:58:21.280
hey, I'm going to email this person at 9 o 'clock

00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.980
and I expect this person to answer. Yep, yep.

00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:28.500
I think it's so inhumane. I think it's disrespectful.

00:58:31.789 --> 00:58:35.510
people's time even companies that you know uh

00:58:35.510 --> 00:58:41.050
require that i think it's awful that if you give

00:58:41.050 --> 00:58:43.250
it's like giving somebody something and taking

00:58:43.250 --> 00:58:46.809
it back if you give me two days off darn it let

00:58:46.809 --> 00:58:50.389
me take my two days off leave me alone i don't

00:58:50.389 --> 00:58:54.250
want to be bothered it's like you work 24 7 you're

00:58:54.250 --> 00:58:58.460
gonna put me in an early grave right Right. And

00:58:58.460 --> 00:59:01.679
I tell people all the time, like, take your darn

00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:04.840
days off. This is why. If something happens to

00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:07.260
you, if you stroke out, if you have a heart attack,

00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.179
if you die, guess what? They're going to send

00:59:10.179 --> 00:59:13.119
your family a flower, maybe. Maybe a love gift.

00:59:13.300 --> 00:59:17.739
But they're going to replace you. Exactly. It's

00:59:17.739 --> 00:59:20.699
a business. They're going to move on. Exactly.

00:59:20.900 --> 00:59:25.179
And that's why when I see people overworking

00:59:25.179 --> 00:59:29.019
themselves, I'm like, you know what? It's like,

00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:34.059
why are you doing this? And it's like, yeah,

00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:37.900
you need to make a living. Yeah. Right. Everything.

00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:40.760
But it's like, there's a right way to do it.

00:59:40.860 --> 00:59:45.579
And I feel like those companies who do that and

00:59:45.579 --> 00:59:48.980
kind of, they should have like the slogan that

00:59:48.980 --> 00:59:55.420
we prepare you for an open grave and an open

00:59:55.420 --> 01:00:00.800
casket. Right. Exactly. Exactly. And you're working

01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:05.860
for someone else for a profit that you may never

01:00:05.860 --> 01:00:08.519
see. Yeah, you probably get paid a really good

01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:12.300
salary, you know, or whatever. There may be some

01:00:12.300 --> 01:00:14.320
benefits or some perks, but you're working for

01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:17.300
someone else that's going to benefit them. And

01:00:17.300 --> 01:00:21.059
so that's my whole mindset around. Of course,

01:00:21.059 --> 01:00:24.059
I'm going to do my job. I'm always going to do

01:00:24.059 --> 01:00:30.119
my job. But I refuse to wear myself out for someone

01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:32.659
else's profit and gain because they're only giving

01:00:32.659 --> 01:00:34.519
me a small fraction of what they're actually

01:00:34.519 --> 01:00:43.980
making. What do you see for yourself and your

01:00:43.980 --> 01:00:47.400
business in maybe, let's say, five or ten years?

01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:56.670
I expect for my brands to be huge. uh i i think

01:00:56.670 --> 01:00:59.949
very very big i want to be able to employ other

01:00:59.949 --> 01:01:03.650
people but i also want to be able to help other

01:01:03.650 --> 01:01:06.130
people start their own businesses and their own

01:01:06.130 --> 01:01:10.530
enterprises um and just branch out and grow i

01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:13.590
want my podcast to be huge maybe even a talk

01:01:13.590 --> 01:01:16.369
show you know i don't know talk shows may be

01:01:16.369 --> 01:01:23.550
obsolete by then who knows but um yeah like They

01:01:23.550 --> 01:01:26.429
might not even be around anymore. Who knows,

01:01:26.510 --> 01:01:30.070
even with podcasts. But yeah, I definitely want

01:01:30.070 --> 01:01:34.349
my event management firm to be huge. I want to

01:01:34.349 --> 01:01:37.409
be able to do all types of events all over the

01:01:37.409 --> 01:01:40.550
world. I want to employ other event planners

01:01:40.550 --> 01:01:44.150
and managers to be able to bring their skills

01:01:44.150 --> 01:01:47.449
to the table and help my agency grow and my blog.

01:01:47.550 --> 01:01:49.510
I definitely want to reach a lot of, I've reached

01:01:49.510 --> 01:01:52.139
a lot of people now. But I want to reach even

01:01:52.139 --> 01:01:54.699
more people, maybe adding some digital products

01:01:54.699 --> 01:01:59.360
and courses to that. I just want to impact the

01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:04.320
world in a good way. I just want to be able to

01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:08.460
leave a good mark with my businesses. I know

01:02:08.460 --> 01:02:17.639
that feeling. I know this shows all as your spotlight.

01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:26.000
I have to put some input on there as well. I

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:30.719
know what you mean that you want to kind of leave

01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:37.880
a good mark. I think it may be a week or two,

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:43.300
maybe three weeks ago. All my days blended. Sorry

01:02:43.300 --> 01:02:47.000
about leaving a mark with your brands because

01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:51.980
last three, few weeks, I jumped on different

01:02:51.980 --> 01:02:57.460
platforms. I switched up stuff. I relaunched

01:02:57.460 --> 01:03:02.099
my crazy swag shop. Now I can ship internationally,

01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:08.539
which I've never been able to do before. I also

01:03:08.539 --> 01:03:15.099
have my own premium podcast, which is an ad -free

01:03:15.099 --> 01:03:18.739
version. And you get the unedited version and

01:03:18.739 --> 01:03:24.719
everything. No, this is not this either. Just

01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:29.940
an FYI for anyone listening out there. And then.

01:03:31.099 --> 01:03:35.559
And I also have a community forums that is a

01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:38.559
private community forums where we can talk everything

01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:41.840
health and wellness one -on -one and no one can

01:03:41.840 --> 01:03:45.059
go peek inside like Facebook. I'm sorry, did

01:03:45.059 --> 01:03:51.860
I say that out loud? And you can't hide what's

01:03:51.860 --> 01:03:57.059
inside. I got that quote from SpongeBob, sorry.

01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:04.280
So, yeah, basically, I know what you mean by

01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:07.699
you want to leave a good mark on the world and

01:04:07.699 --> 01:04:12.679
you want your brand to be well known. My brand

01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:17.539
would be like, we have two different niches,

01:04:17.539 --> 01:04:23.079
but we have big, I would say, what did we say?

01:04:23.300 --> 01:04:29.170
Goals or dreams or, I don't know. Either one

01:04:29.170 --> 01:04:34.769
I could think maybe works, but I think all of

01:04:34.769 --> 01:04:39.349
us entrepreneurs are trying to be inspiring to

01:04:39.349 --> 01:04:45.090
others because we don't want the norm. Especially

01:04:45.090 --> 01:04:49.369
with this coronavirus becoming a new norm. Exactly.

01:04:49.869 --> 01:04:59.159
It should just go away. Yeah. Yeah. Where can

01:04:59.159 --> 01:05:03.260
people find you to connect and where can they

01:05:03.260 --> 01:05:06.800
listen to your podcast? Well, they can listen

01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:09.920
to me. I'm on Anchor as well. My show's name

01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:12.739
is Convo with Keisha. I also have a website.

01:05:13.139 --> 01:05:16.699
It's ConvoWithKeisha .com. So if they go on there,

01:05:16.820 --> 01:05:19.219
they can see all of my latest episodes. They

01:05:19.219 --> 01:05:22.980
can see past episodes. And if they want to be

01:05:22.980 --> 01:05:27.880
a guest, they can also complete a form. to be

01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:34.320
a guest on my show. And where can they follow

01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:37.460
you on social media? Oh, I am all over social

01:05:37.460 --> 01:05:42.260
media. So on... Facebook, on Instagram and Twitter,

01:05:42.420 --> 01:05:46.480
it is Combo with Keisha for my podcast. If they

01:05:46.480 --> 01:05:50.059
want to connect with me personally, it is Lakeisha

01:05:50.059 --> 01:05:54.920
Mosley. That's on Facebook, on Instagram and

01:05:54.920 --> 01:05:58.179
Twitter, as well as LinkedIn, it's Lakeisha M.

01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:04.159
Mosley. Wow. I'm not even going to tell you how

01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:08.659
many social media profiles I'm on. You don't

01:06:08.659 --> 01:06:12.119
want to know. Okay, yeah, I might have to say

01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:17.860
it anyway. I think in total, Crazy Fitness Guy

01:06:17.860 --> 01:06:24.539
and me, I spread them out too far. I think maybe

01:06:24.539 --> 01:06:30.199
15, 16, maybe 18. Oh, that's a lot. No, I'm not

01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:34.440
there. No, I'm not there. I can tell you some

01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:40.599
of my cheat tools after this. Yeah, I am blessed

01:06:40.599 --> 01:06:44.880
to have, I have an amazing social media manager.

01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:49.659
Her name is Brianna. Brianna is awesome. So she

01:06:49.659 --> 01:06:54.329
takes care of all of my social for me. We sit

01:06:54.329 --> 01:06:58.170
down and we plan out what I want to say for that

01:06:58.170 --> 01:07:01.949
particular week or two weeks in advance. And

01:07:01.949 --> 01:07:04.809
she makes sure all my stuff gets posted for me

01:07:04.809 --> 01:07:08.650
as well as helping me, you know, research and

01:07:08.650 --> 01:07:13.000
do all those things. So without a team. I couldn't

01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:15.199
do half of what I was doing. Then I have a fabulous

01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:18.699
admin. Her name's Claudia. She keeps me in line.

01:07:18.980 --> 01:07:20.780
She's like, don't forget you got that podcast

01:07:20.780 --> 01:07:23.699
tonight with Jimmy. Don't forget. Blah, blah,

01:07:23.699 --> 01:07:26.960
blah. I couldn't do it without the team I have.

01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:32.360
I have an awesome team. That's nice. I wish I

01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:38.039
had a team. It's just me, me, me, and me. Yeah,

01:07:38.059 --> 01:07:41.139
I need a team. I couldn't do any of this without

01:07:41.139 --> 01:07:44.250
them. You'll get there. Why can't one of those

01:07:44.250 --> 01:07:46.969
big companies out there like Google or Apple

01:07:46.969 --> 01:07:49.210
come out with a cloning machine so I can clone

01:07:49.210 --> 01:07:52.769
myself? I know. They're doing everything else.

01:07:53.230 --> 01:07:58.349
Yeah. Why can't I have a cloning machine so I

01:07:58.349 --> 01:08:01.690
can make a clone just to annoy my parents? I

01:08:01.690 --> 01:08:09.070
can clone myself to do my podcast. I can clone

01:08:09.070 --> 01:08:16.119
myself to... And I don't mean like... that Jimmy

01:08:16.119 --> 01:08:21.600
Neutron episode. Yeah, I'm old school. Where

01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:25.060
he made a bunch of clones, but they all have

01:08:25.060 --> 01:08:29.539
a certain degree, different phases. One is a

01:08:29.539 --> 01:08:32.619
smart one. He's the original smart one, then

01:08:32.619 --> 01:08:37.220
he has another smart one. Right. No, I want the

01:08:37.220 --> 01:08:42.939
same exact across the board. Yes, I'm on. I want

01:08:42.939 --> 01:08:50.560
like three Jimmy Clairs all in. Maybe six, 10,

01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:58.060
maybe 40. Just so I can just manage. And the

01:08:58.060 --> 01:09:00.699
original one will be off on an island somewhere

01:09:00.699 --> 01:09:05.039
after this whole virus. And I can just relax.

01:09:08.460 --> 01:09:12.579
That's my... I wouldn't even call it a dream

01:09:12.579 --> 01:09:15.859
or a goal, but I would like extra help, but of

01:09:15.859 --> 01:09:24.800
course I don't have that. Right. Yes. And I won't

01:09:24.800 --> 01:09:32.359
pay those clones. They just exist. Well, they're

01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:35.720
just clones. They're just exact replicas. Right.

01:09:36.300 --> 01:09:39.720
I should get... I'm the original. I should get

01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:45.060
paid. They're just extras. Exactly. Exactly.

01:09:45.659 --> 01:09:48.279
I mean, if it was other people, of course I would

01:09:48.279 --> 01:09:52.920
pay them. But just myself, me, me, me, and me.

01:09:54.199 --> 01:10:02.420
No. Right. Well, this has been fun. Thank you.

01:10:04.520 --> 01:10:07.260
Yes, yes. This is really fun. Of course, it's

01:10:07.260 --> 01:10:09.939
always fun talking to you, Jimmy. And let's stay

01:10:09.939 --> 01:10:13.239
in touch. It was hard to get you on here because

01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:18.239
you're such a popular person. I know, I know.

01:10:18.800 --> 01:10:21.600
Yeah, I have to make sure I do better about that.

01:10:23.600 --> 01:10:27.939
Make sure you send me a friend request on Facebook

01:10:27.939 --> 01:10:32.399
so we can stay in touch easier because I know

01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:38.939
sometimes Facebook facebook pages app and that

01:10:38.939 --> 01:10:43.340
thing works half of the time I know it's so annoying

01:10:43.340 --> 01:10:48.239
too yes that's so true send me a friend request

01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:53.439
I have my personal page somewhere up there okay

01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:59.500
I will do that I'm no stranger even though I

01:10:59.500 --> 01:11:04.100
do You don't exactly know who I am, but I'm a

01:11:04.100 --> 01:11:08.979
friendly person. Of course you are. To some people.

01:11:10.279 --> 01:11:19.680
Unlike Tim Cook. If you like, when I'm recording,

01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:25.220
I can give you some of the tools that I use,

01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:30.180
if you like. Sure. Yeah, send those to me. Not

01:11:30.180 --> 01:11:32.899
saying if you need to use them or anything, but

01:11:32.899 --> 01:11:37.859
I found some cool tools that I found over the

01:11:37.859 --> 01:11:42.539
last three months since the last time I talked

01:11:42.539 --> 01:11:46.180
with you. Okay. Okay, cool. Yeah, send it to

01:11:46.180 --> 01:11:51.699
me. I'm always open to new stuff. Yeah. Okay,

01:11:51.819 --> 01:11:55.500
let me just finish this episode and we're done.

01:11:56.239 --> 01:12:00.560
Okay, well. That's it with Lakeisha Mosley. And

01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:06.239
I'm so glad we actually got this podcast to work

01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:10.939
after two outages of my lovely internet provider.

01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:16.439
Here's an advertisement for you, Comcast. We

01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:19.479
can't even make a podcast work on our own network.

01:12:21.399 --> 01:12:24.659
There's one for the books for you. You can add

01:12:24.659 --> 01:12:28.649
that as a testimonial to me. You can have it

01:12:28.649 --> 01:12:33.850
100 % free. Right. I'm so glad that you can make

01:12:33.850 --> 01:12:36.770
it, Lakeisha. And I hope we can do this again

01:12:36.770 --> 01:12:42.369
before the end of the year. Yes, I'd love to.

01:12:42.489 --> 01:12:45.270
I'd love to. Thank you for having me. And let's

01:12:45.270 --> 01:12:48.090
keep in touch, like always. Yes, we definitely

01:12:48.090 --> 01:12:53.390
will. Have a good rest of your... Is it night

01:12:53.390 --> 01:12:56.170
