INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
The weather app says rain at 4:00 pm, the venue wants to move everything inside, and the bride only wants one thing: get married outside with the water behind her. That’s the kind of moment where destination wedding planning stops being a cute idea and turns into real event coordination. We’re sharing the full story of our Clearwater, Florida wedding weekend, from getting flown out of Rochester to Tampa to the behind-the-scenes decisions that kept the whole day steady.
We talk through the year of virtual planning, why we intentionally landed early to build in buffer time, and how finally meeting our couple in person made the entire timeline feel alive. You’ll hear what a three-day wedding event demands, how a tight vendor team communicates under pressure, and why the timeline is basically our bible until the second it has to be thrown out. When the radar threatened the ceremony, we made a call most planners dread: move the ceremony up an hour with only one hour’s notice and get every vendor and guest aligned fast.
The biggest takeaway is bigger than weather: great wedding planners don’t just manage logistics, we protect presence. We also share how this trip unlocked something in our business, why destination weddings feel like flow state for us, and how we use a simple “gains and drains” energy audit to decide what we do next. If you love wedding planning stories, destination weddings, and real talk about building a business that actually fits, press play, subscribe, and share this with a friend who needs a little courage and a solid plan. Will you leave us a review and tell us where you think we should travel to next?

MOSTRA NOTE 🔗
TRASCRIZIONE 🔗
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.039
Episode 156.
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:23.920
What's in your cup?
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.760
Another wonderful strawberry margarita.
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.640
And today you got a little fancy with the garnishes.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:38.799
So I was inspired by Julia from Island Way Grill in Clearwater, Florida.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.880
Shout out to Julia.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:47.520
She made us a peach margarita that smoked, that fizzled, that had all the accoutrements.
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:48.000
It did.
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.960
And I was like, okay, Julia.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.719
I gotta set my shit up, girl.
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.520
Thank you.
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.439
So I took a little page at her book.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:56.000
I love it.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.520
And, you know, made it cute.
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:58.079
I love it.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:03.280
We got a little strawberry, a little lime, and then a little piece of mint there because it's cute.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.159
Because it's cute.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.799
And you gotta, you know, romanticize your life.
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.480
We are about to drop all the details from last week.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.079
And I wanted to do it with a cutie little thing on the side.
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:16.879
I love it.
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:17.760
Because it was amazing.
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:18.719
It was an amazing time.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.879
It was the best fucking trip ever.
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.560
Like it just, it was, it was amazing.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:36.000
And I'm excited to give all the juicy details because we were there for five days, and every single day was an adventure.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.920
And I think it truly unlocked something for us.
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.560
Like, I want more of this.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.319
Please, and thank you.
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:55.359
So we were asked to help plan a wedding that was out of state, which we have done before.
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:55.840
Yeah.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:03.760
Um, but this time we went a little bit further and we planned it in Clearwater, Florida.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:04.319
Yeah.
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.479
And we've been planning for a year now.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:09.039
I know.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.840
It has been like a year and a day to the wedding date.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:14.319
Yeah.
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:27.360
And it wasn't until we landed in Tampa, Florida, where I was like, oh, that's what we're doing here.
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:36.319
We just got flown out from Rochester, New York to Tampa, Florida to plan a wedding.
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:36.800
Oh.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.840
To run a show.
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:41.840
And that we did.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:03:01.759
I never once in a million cajillion years, quindillion years, ever had on my bucket list uh I want to host an event in a different city, in a different state, in a different country, maybe.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.039
I never, not one time, not when we started this business, not before we started this business.
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.280
It just was never on the list.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:31.520
So when I get to cross off something from my list that I didn't even know that was like on the list, when we sat at the kitchen table five and a half years ago and really kind of we had that conversation of are we gonna do this?
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:32.800
Is this gonna be a business?
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.560
And what do we want should this business become successful?
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.039
And I just remember us always wanting to keep it so small, so small and cute.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:51.599
I just want to be this little boutique planner, like something that's just so cute and little and home and everything was here.
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:59.680
I never not once had the thought that I would plan events outside of Rochester, New York.
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.039
Like, not even like Syracuse, not even Buffalo, right?
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:09.599
Like, not even the surrounding areas did I think that our business was going to expand to.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:22.399
So to now know that our business has expanded all the way down the East Coast, all the way down to Clear Waterfold from Rochester, New York, I I am so full.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.279
I it's it's my golden arches, baby.
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.120
It's just the golden arches.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.879
I can do this anywhere.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:37.519
And I think given how our week had gone, I needed that grounding.
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:43.360
I needed to know that this was what I was meant to do.
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.399
And I I would say Clearwater Florida delivered that a thousand percent.
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.759
I am made to do this.
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.360
I'm made to get on planes, I'm made to coordinate these magical moments.
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:21.040
I'm I'm made to curate a core memory, unlike any other core memory you're going to experience from beginning to end, from from finding every single place, every single vendor, every single piece of this wedding to executing all of those pieces on one day.
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.399
Like I'm blown away.
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.079
I'm blown away by what we did, how we did it, and I want more.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.319
I want more of it.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.560
And because we want more, we're gonna get it because that's how the universe works.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.199
And let's get into it.
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:48.560
Yeah, so we landed in Clearwater, Florida on a Tuesday because we like to give ourselves time, right?
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.759
We needed time to do all the last-minute errands that we normally run up here.
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.439
So we had the day, we had the time, and it was lovely.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.319
So grateful for that for building that in.
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:00.959
Go us.
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:01.360
Yeah.
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:02.800
So the wedding was on Thursday.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.240
So it was a Thursday wedding.
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.920
So yeah, we landed on Tuesday.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.279
We got there Tuesday morning.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:13.839
So plenty of time to do all the last minute things that we would normally do up here in the last couple of days before.
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:22.560
And we made it a point to have dinner with our beautiful couple because we've done all of this virtually.
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:23.040
Yeah.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:32.720
Every meeting, every planning session, everything has been done via text or the computer because they're out of state also.
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.879
So we were none of us were actually in the state where the wedding was happening.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.240
We were all kind of spread throughout.
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:50.480
And that was a magical night because it felt like, okay, now, now we begin this, these days to follow.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:50.959
Yeah.
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.920
Well, I mean, we run this timeline a trillion times, right?
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:02.879
Like the first half of wedding planning is truly just us finding the vendors and scouting and doing all these things.
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:10.399
And so I would say it was probably not until we got about five, six months into planning where then we really started to drill into the timeline.
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.000
And what does that look like?
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:19.120
But from six months to 12 months, we talk about that timeline a lot, right?
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:27.439
And then especially when it's a destination, uh, it's never just one day, it's never just one little event, it's never just the wedding, right?
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.120
There's so many other things that go in it.
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.240
So this was literally a three-day event.
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:37.279
Um, so you know, we talked about this timeline incessantly.
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:41.519
And therefore, we talked about having dinner with them finally, right?
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.839
This virtual planning for 12 months was finally going to come to fruition.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:57.680
On this night, we were going to be together in person and be able to like break bread and celebrate the beginning of what was going to be the best time of their lives.
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.879
And that's exactly how it went down.
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.319
So it was it was crazy to like talk about it, talk about it, talk about it.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.480
You just we talked about it incessantly for so long, especially the last month of planning.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.319
We talk about it weekly.
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.879
And now here we are, right?
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:19.120
Now we get to that point where it's almost like our planning catches up with reality, and now is the time.
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:20.240
We plan in the future.
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:26.639
Everything is in the future, and then now time has caught up with us, and now we get to live everything that we've planned for.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.399
And that's like a lot of fun.
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.159
It's almost like you finally got on the ride, right?
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:41.600
Like you've been waiting in line to get on the ride, and now all of a sudden it's your turn, you're next, you're buckled in, and you're like, oh, here we go.
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.840
And that's exactly what Tuesday felt like.
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.320
Yeah.
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.399
Because Wednesday, we had our welcome dinner in the evening.
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:56.559
We had rehearsal in the afternoon, we had venue walkthrough because we've done this from afar.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:08.480
We've never seen this space in person with our own two eyeballs for our brains to do all of the crazy things that it needs to do in order to know, okay, I'm good, I'm solid.
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.440
This plan is a go.
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.240
Yeah.
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.240
And that was a day in itself.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:23.440
A roller coaster, a mini roller coaster of right getting all this information and then putting into plan.
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:23.840
Yeah.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.919
The rehearsal went amazing.
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.120
The welcome dinner was a smash.
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:30.879
That's where we met Julia.
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.000
Shout out to Julia.
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.720
Shout out to Julia and her peach margaritas because wow.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.240
I wanted to drink those, many, many of those.
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:41.679
But you know, we got our limits.
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.639
We know our bodies and we do the right thing.
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.440
But wow, did my tongue want more peach margaritas?
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:48.639
It was delicious.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.320
They were so fucking good.
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:56.320
And then we went to sleep, and the next morning was wedding day.
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.000
Oh, wedding day.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:12.960
And I love that we thought we were gonna have so much time on this day, waking up just so leisurely, just waking up with the sunrise, you know, and being able to kind of get things going.
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.879
Um, it was amazing.
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:22.799
I think what is different for us this time around is usually we're the ones who have to do everything.
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.399
And that wasn't the case, right?
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.519
Like we couldn't do all the things when we lived in New York and everything was happening in Florida.
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:34.320
So, like, we had to get all Florida vendors um in order to like execute this.
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:42.000
So when we kind of woke up that day, we were like, all right, this is where we would normally start doing everything, but there really wasn't anything for us to do.
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:48.320
So we got to have a nice breakfast and fuel our bodies and like really get into the day.
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.879
We checked on them, we made sure that they got their breakfast, that they were getting ready and going, and they were just having a blast.
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.799
Like they were truly living their best lives the whole time.
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.720
There was no stress, there was no panic, no worry.
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:11.120
Like they were just so confident in the timeline, again, because we talk about it and talk about it and talk about it, that that they just felt good in what they were doing.
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:18.320
They knew what they had to do, and they knew that this was their time to just chill, make a memory, live in the moment, do your thing.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:31.679
And that was pretty cool to just watch them be and start this day with such ease and relaxation and really just having fun and preparing for what they were about to do in the afternoon.
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:39.440
Knowing that we delivered the peace of mind for you to fully live in this day.
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:39.759
Yeah.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:40.080
Right.
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.639
For you not to worry, oh, but this thing, oh, but that thing, oh, but this thing, oh, I just thought about that.
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.480
You don't have you didn't think about it.
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.440
I've already thought about it.
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.120
Yeah, I've already handled it.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.679
It's been accounted for.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:03.840
To give them the gift of presence on the most important day of your life is something that makes me so fucking happy.
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.240
Yeah.
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:16.879
To gift someone that because I know how almost damn near impossible it is to be fully present because there's so much on the back end.
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.120
There's so many things going on.
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.559
And that is a gift that we give our clients.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.279
That is a gift that I want people to soak and cherish.
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:33.440
Be present, be fully 100 present in this moment because it goes by like that.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.320
It really does.
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:39.679
And if you don't soak it all in, we're not running it back wrong.
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.159
We're not running it back, it's not happening again.
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:51.200
So it really is that moment of like we have one shot, one opportunity to make sure that this is the best day of their lives.
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.519
And we just woke up so prepared and to do that.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.519
And it was nice.
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:02.720
We um we had a very like chill morning checking on them, making sure that everything was done.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.399
The vendors had done their thing.
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.320
Um, the venue was pretty much set up.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.679
Like we were just waiting on other venue vendors to come in the afternoon.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.120
So we were just like, all right, I guess we'll just take this time to get ready, right?
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.159
We had nothing else to do, it was so weird.
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:24.320
Um, so we took our time getting ready, and we knew vendors were coming about one o'clock, so we wanted to make sure that that's when we were fully done.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:34.639
Um, and then we started to um greet vendors as they came in um about one o'clock, and our ceremony was set for four.
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.279
So everybody was coming about three hours early.
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.879
Um, so again, plenty of time to like get all the things done.
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:49.360
Um, so we get in and our florist friend has arrived, and our DJ has arrived, and we're like, awesome, things are gonna go through.
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:59.120
Woohoo! And then the venue coordinator came to us, and we had to look at the weather.
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:02.960
Good old fashioned Mother Nature.
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:10.639
Leave it to her to come in and just throw everything for a loop.
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.279
Mother Nature gives zero fucks about our timeline.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.879
Mother Nature did not um accept any of our calls.
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.799
She did not care to know when we had things planned.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:25.919
Um, and therefore, Mother Nature said, I'm gonna rain at 4 p.m.
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.159
4 p.m.
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:41.200
as in the time that our ceremony is supposed to start, the time that our bride walks down the aisle, and the outside is supposed to downpour.
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:50.080
Um, so yeah, that's where true wedding planning, I feel like, came into play.
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.360
That's where we turned it on for referral.
00:14:53.840 --> 00:15:00.399
I could have died in that very second, looking at the weather, like taking this all, right?
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.120
We pow out.
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.519
We had bitches yet.
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.840
Let's go, phones out, all of us.
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.279
Let's looking at radar.
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:12.080
Looking at radar, looking when it's gonna pass, doing the timeline, all the things.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:19.519
Everybody's got a position to play, and we're all figuring out how we are going to make this dance work.
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:27.360
So we throw out some options, they throw out some options, and obviously we lean on them.
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:36.480
We lean on the venue coordinator for expertise for their venue, for their climate, for their weather, for all of the things.
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.000
And we looked at them and said, keep it 100 with us.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.039
Like, what are we looking at?
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.480
And they were like, No, we're probably looking at having to push it inside.
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:46.799
Yeah.
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:56.159
And then a zagger went straight through my heart because the only thing our beautiful bride wanted was to be outside.
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.039
Our bride was so fucking amazing.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.840
Like our couple, period, was perfect.
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.000
Like they were literally the ideal clients.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:10.320
They knew what they wanted without having to need every single detail to be accounted for.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.600
Like they just had a vision.
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:12.879
Their vision was very simple.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.919
It was, I want to get married outside with the water behind me.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.559
Period.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.519
That's it.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.120
That's all she wanted.
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.480
She just wanted the water to be behind her.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:31.440
And here we are looking at the weather app and it telling us that there is a 55% chance that it is going to rain at four o'clock.
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:40.159
And then we have a venue coordinator looking at us and saying, usually if it's above 30%, we call it and we push it inside because we can't take the risk.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.559
And we have never moved so fast.
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.279
We went our lives straight to our bride.
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.039
We have to have the conversation, right?
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.320
We have to say these things to you.
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.759
It's the last thing that I want to do.
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.000
I know that this is the last thing you want to hear.
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.279
And so it was just, it was a dagger.
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.240
It was a gut punch.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.080
Like, fuck, what are we gonna do?
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:07.119
So we go upstairs, we take her aside, and we tell her, it's not looking good, girl.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.039
It's not looking good at all.
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.240
And she was devastated.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.559
The way that it just shifted, she had to turn away from us.
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:34.480
And I felt for her in that moment because she was so easy, she was so easygoing, she was so kind, she was she didn't care about anything except there not being a roof over her head when she said, I do.
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:39.039
And it was really in that moment where it was like, What can we do?
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.759
What can we do to not push this thing inside?
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.640
And she looked at us and she said, I'm ready.
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:46.960
I'll walk down the aisle right now.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:53.759
And we looked at our watches and we looked at the time, and it was like 1:30 at that point.
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.759
Every vendor still needs at least an hour to get things ready, right?
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:14.160
Like there were still pool chairs and lounge chairs all in this area that was supposed to be turned into the ceremony spot, and they had already started setting up inside because they were like, nah, we gotta move it in.
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:15.839
Like that was their suggestion.
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:25.599
So we looked at her, we saw how this was gonna go, and we said, we looked at the radar again, and everything showed that this rain was not gonna touch down until 4 p.m.
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.640
So we were like, all right, well, if everyone needs an hour, that's 2:30.
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.160
So looks like we're moving our ceremony up to three o'clock.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.319
Looks like we're moving our ceremony up to 3 p.m.
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:45.039
Words I never thought I would have said the timeline, people.
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:46.079
The timeline.
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:54.240
You have no idea how much we drill this timeline into our heads, into our clients' heads, into our vendors' heads.
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:56.319
Like we, this is our Bible.
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.000
It's what we go by.
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.720
And we said, throwing it out the window.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.279
Yeah.
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.240
Hey, by the way, throwing it in the ocean.
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.559
We need to move the ceremony up an hour.
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:07.920
Everybody needs to move.
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:08.799
It is done.
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:11.680
We sent out all the messages.
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.119
We sent out the SOS life raft emoji.
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:19.599
Like, get ready now.
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:21.039
You have one hour.
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:22.559
You have one hour to be ready.
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.519
We're moving the ceremony up one hour with only one hour's notice.
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.440
And here we go.
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:30.960
Here's the roller coaster.
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.799
Here's that first tip, right?
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.240
We got to the top.
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.359
And we thought, we thought we were just gonna be done.
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.480
And no, no, no.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.359
The roller coaster truly ensued at that point.
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:42.640
We had to run downstairs.
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:46.319
We had to tell the venue coordinator, we're like, no, our bride wants to move it up.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.680
And she was like, What?
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:50.400
We were like, we weren't kidding.
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:51.839
Like, this is all she wants.
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.359
She wants to be outside.
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:55.920
This shows that it's not gonna rain until four o'clock.
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640
So, like, if we can move this up an hour and still be outside, that's what we're gonna do.
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:10.000
And she looked at us and she said, Okay, she stopped the people in their tracks, they stopped putting the things in the room, they all went outside and it was like go time.
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.559
We went the same thing with the DJ.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.039
Hey, DJ, remember all the stuff you were doing inside?
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.240
This is what we're doing.
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:17.759
You have an hour.
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.960
You need to get outside, you need to do all the things, blah, blah, blah.
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:22.720
And we just went down the train.
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.240
Like everyone was like, okay, let's go.
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:32.880
Like the way that everyone just locked the fuck in was so beautiful, so seamless.
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.799
It it made it all possible.
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:36.000
It made it possible.
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:41.359
So possible that we moved the ceremony up and we made it happen.
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:49.680
And we got her down the aisle outside by like 3 15, I think, is when we like finally made it out.
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.279
And amazing.
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.279
Like I couldn't, we couldn't have asked for anything better.
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.119
It was exactly what was gonna happen at four o'clock.
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:10.559
Yeah, it just moved up a little, it just it just tended to be a little bit more of a panic in the beginning, but it was handled so well, so gracefully.
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:19.119
Everybody, like I said, just locked in and got that shit done, and it was, dare I say, flawless.
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:24.799
And this is the importance of having the right vendor team, right?
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:30.559
A vendor team kind of sounds like a venger team, and that's exactly what the fuck we are.
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.160
We are like we're the protectors of this day.
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:41.200
We are here to run this map, the course, the timeline, whatever you want to call it, the play.
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:50.319
Yeah, choosing vendors is something that we are very good at.
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.799
And that's a to my own horn.
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.039
To toot our own horn.
00:21:55.359 --> 00:22:02.240
We assemble the best team for each and every Every one of our clients.
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:02.960
Yeah.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.799
Because without the team, the day can go awry very quickly.
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:21.440
If we didn't pick confident people that are professionals at what they do that know how to pivot and know, okay, well, we're just gonna change course and this is what we're gonna do.
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.319
And then later on in the evening, we're all gonna be like, holy shit, was that crazy or what?
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.759
High five, you did it.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:28.559
Good job.
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:29.359
Sure.
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:35.039
But in this moment, you're gonna lock the fuck in and you're gonna show up because we have a job to do.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:38.480
Yeah, we have an event to put on.
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:38.880
Yeah.
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.319
And I love that superpower for us.
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:55.680
I hope it never goes away and continue to foster it just even more because we as planners can only be as good as the people executing the plan.
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.799
Exactly.
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:04.319
So the fact that we always choose the right people to execute the plan just shows how amazing we are.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.200
Period.
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:05.839
Two, two.
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:11.599
So that was the first crazy.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:27.359
And I don't even want to say first crazy thing because once you move a ceremony up an hour with an only hour notice to the ceremony being moved up, I don't think anything else can really rock you the rest of the day because like you just stopped Dr.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.319
Doom, right?
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:29.440
Like you did it.
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.559
I literally had people holding people out of the pool.
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.640
Hey, you guys need to go get ready.
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:36.240
You need to go upstairs.
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.880
And all those clothes that you were gonna wear an hour from now, you need to put them on right now.
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:41.680
Right now.
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:42.480
Thank you.
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:43.680
Let's go.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:54.880
So once we eased our way into that drop of the roller coaster, the rest of the night was a breeze because look at how we started.
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.039
Yeah, no, the hardest thing was already accomplished.
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:57.599
Done.
00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:57.920
Yeah.
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:08.880
And everybody showed up, everyone showed out, everyone walked down, pictures were taken, a time was had, kisses were had, and we got Mr.
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.599
and Mrs.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.279
Gregory married.
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:18.640
We did an hour early, seamlessly, beautifully, so that they could enjoy the rest of their evening.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.519
Yeah, knowing that they were being held.
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.079
Yeah.
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.359
The whole time.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.680
And and it was, right?
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:30.000
Like after that, it really was just everything was according to plan.
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:31.119
The timeline was done.
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.400
Everything was built in.
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.119
And at that point, it was just a domino, right?
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.920
Like once you start these things, it's like a little domino effect.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:39.359
It doesn't stop.
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:45.920
So we got that done, and everything just continued to flow out so beautifully throughout the entire night.
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:48.480
It was amazing to see them.
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.119
They got to enjoy their cocktail hour, right?
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:52.640
Before they weren't going to be able to.
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.440
And like this actually built more time in the timeline for them.
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.680
And so they got to just hang out with their guests and do all the things.
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:04.319
It was kind of funny, like towards the end of the night, I was kept trying to get like videos of them together.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:05.759
And it was like impossible.
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:16.960
Like they were together for split seconds of time because they were just being pulled away by all of their friends and family, and everyone just like being in the moment and enjoying it and having like the best time.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:23.200
Um, and we just got to witness all of that, and like that shit just fills me up.
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:25.839
It fills me up like nothing else does.
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:27.359
And it really was.
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:35.599
It was like this end of the night pat on the back and like conclusion to like this question of like, are we supposed to be doing this?
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:36.960
Is this what we do?
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.480
Is this what I want to continue to do with my life?
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:44.960
And the answer was just an overarching hell, motherfucking yes.
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:47.839
Like this is the life.
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.920
Like, this is what I would do all day, every day, if I could.
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.720
So if anyone else, all a destination wedding, I would love to do it again.
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:58.480
Hello, our name is Bar Lisa.
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:04.079
We are home main events, and we can travel literally anywhere, anywhere a plane can take us.
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:20.480
This was definitely a level up, I feel, because we did accomplish something that we've never done before in circumstances that we have never had, we've never had to move a ceremony up an hour due to weather.
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.119
We've always just planned accordingly for the weather.
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.000
But in Florida, you know, it doesn't really matter your plan, as you said.
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.720
Mother Nature can show up and show out when she wants to.
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:38.000
We leveled up as event planners, as wedding planners.
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:44.640
I showed myself that I am capable of much more than I thought I was capable of.
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:44.960
Yeah.
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:46.640
And this is not the first time, right?
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.759
We continue to do this.
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:58.720
I think every time we take a step forward and say yes to something that we've never done, on the other side of that is a new courage that you pick up and a new integration.
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.920
And we definitely needed that at this very moment, right?
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:14.079
Coming off of the retreat, having these two weddings, really looking at our business and asking ourselves, okay, what is gonna happen now?
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.079
We hit the five-year hump.
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.200
We passed it, right?
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.319
We're we're on five and a half years, so like I'm closer to six than I am to not.
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:37.839
And big girl questions were being asked, not only by each other, but by other people, by our team, yeah, by our coaches.
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:44.640
Yeah, and it was definitely planting seeds of like, are are you?
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:46.240
Are we?
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.759
Is this it?
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:49.839
Is there a pivot coming?
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.559
Is there a change that needs to be made?
00:27:52.880 --> 00:28:03.200
And now I can sit on the mic and say no, with 100% certainty, this is it.
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:14.319
And I'm just going to keep getting better and better and better at what I'm doing because this is what I love to do, and this is the good that we put out.
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:33.759
There was so much love in that room that it there is no doubt in my mind, it had to magnify, it had to go out of those four walls because they were only so big that it touched other people in that hotel, it touched other people in clear water that is worth doing.
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:42.400
But nothing else that I can think of that I can do would generate that much love and happiness at one single time.
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:51.200
And when you feel called to do that, like how do you not answer that?
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.720
How do you say, nah, that's okay, I'll let it go to voicemail?
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:58.480
Like, that's that's just it's truly not an option.
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.119
I want to serve.
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:10.720
I want to serve in this way, and that was the biggest compliment, you know, that we were getting from our couple is they just they felt so taken care of.
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:12.079
You guys thought of everything.
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.240
You guys are taking care of everything, you know.
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.000
Even the next day, they were like, I don't know where any of my stuff is.
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:28.160
And I'm like, honey, I have your jacket and your shoes and all your cards, and like, you know, like, and and we went and put it up in their room for them, you know?
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:32.000
Something that you don't have to worry about taking these things home from your wedding.
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:34.160
Like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna handle that.
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:41.599
Like, I I remember too, the on Wednesday for the before the welcome party, she was like, I really need a steamer, like my dress needs to get steamed, blah, blah, blah.
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.000
And we're like, okay, no worries, like we'll take care of it.
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:47.200
And we steamed her dress and we hung it back up in the closet.
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.039
It was just ready and waiting for her.
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:51.119
She couldn't figure out how to get her shoes on, right?
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.440
We fixed the shoes and we put them there for her.
00:29:53.599 --> 00:30:01.200
Like, we set the day up for her to just live it and not have to worry about all the extra things.
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:05.279
And she felt that she felt seen, she felt supported.
00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:13.359
And I think the most important thing to let everybody know is that it didn't rain after all of that.
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:20.079
Not one drop of fucking rain fell from the sky the whole night.
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:25.039
And I have no doubts in my mind that it was for her.
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:37.039
It was because she is love, and she wanted that so much that when the universe saw her cry, they were like, Oh my god, my bad.
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:39.680
I will not, I will divert just immediately.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.599
I will not bring this storm here.
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:43.119
I will not bring it this way.
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:48.720
And the weather changed, and I have no doubt that the weather changed for her because it should have rained.
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:55.519
Everything on that weather app, everything on that radar said that the rain should have touched down, but that's not what she wanted.
00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:00.480
So it didn't happen, and it was literally the perfect day.
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:05.039
I loved every second of it, and I would relive it over and over and over again.
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.480
I can't wait for the pictures, I can't wait for the videos, right?
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.319
I can't wait to get the things to relive it.
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:14.000
Yeah, I can't wait to talk to them.
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.680
They just got home and they're getting settled.
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.279
And I'm just grateful.
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:26.400
Yeah, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to walk them through this journey.
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:34.480
I am grateful that we really fucking care about what we do and we show up.
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:35.039
Yeah.
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:47.920
Because it's one thing to do it and not show up, but it's one thing to do it and show wholeheartedly the fuck up that this is how you feel after.
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:48.559
Yeah.
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.440
And we got to integrate that.
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:52.240
Right.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.279
We we still had Friday after the wedding.
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.119
So we that was fun.
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:03.200
And like so many people came up to us and thanked us.
00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:05.200
And that has never happened before.
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:10.480
We don't get contact with clients the day after, typically, our events, right?
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.720
I'm I'm putting you in the car, I'm sending you home.
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.400
Yeah, but I'm not home with you because that's weird.
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.559
But since we were all staying on property, yeah, everybody was still there.
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:25.920
They still had two more days ahead of them to like have fun and be merry and and do all of that.
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:34.799
And because we stayed, we received love like we have never received before.
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:41.519
And that was overwhelming in the best way.
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:46.000
I mean, I low-key felt like a celebrity walking around this fucking resort.
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:46.960
Like, let's be honest.
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:48.160
Even on the plane.
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:54.000
We had long, oh my god, my friends are on the plane.
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.160
And just them all taking the moment, taking the time.
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:00.799
Someone came up to us and was like, Can I buy you a drink?
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.079
Like, I'm about to go.
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:07.920
Like, they said they were about to close out their tab, but they noticed us and they were like, I'd love to buy you a drink before I head out.
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.400
Like, just as a thank you, just because everyone just truly enjoyed their time.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:17.200
They were able to show up and be present and celebrate this couple that they also love.
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.720
And you know, that that meant something to them.
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:25.519
And they were, they were so receptive.
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:29.920
Um, and it just it filled me up.
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.440
It was like you said, it's not something that we get to do when it's here, because here it just ends.
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:39.680
Wedding day is over, and like you don't really have a whole weekend event for it.
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:44.160
But when you're doing these destination weddings, it's more of a vacation.
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.960
That's a it's just you get married inside of your vacation.
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:59.920
And so there were there were days afterwards to to still be in it and be immersed, and that was something else that does something to the heart and the ego, I will admit.
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:15.039
I will admit so much so that we have now put on our vision board, and maybe not even vision board, maybe just like on our gonna happen list that yeah, no, I think I am a destiny, yeah, destination planner.
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:19.440
I I know I am because I did it already and I had fun doing it.
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:21.840
So, yeah, let's run that back.
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:28.079
I think we've we've talked about it on this podcast before too, about we're different types of wedding planners.
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:37.599
Like there, there are different types of wedding planners, and we are a little bit more non-traditional, and we tend to go into the micro, into the smaller field and all of that.
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:46.400
And again, I think it's just because we really didn't have that full immersion into a destination wedding that I didn't realize that was an option, but like now I know, and now I'm in it.
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:51.840
So you know, I'm there, I'm there for that destination wedding planner all the way.
00:34:52.159 --> 00:35:03.599
And on another note, destination weddings mean that we get to go away together, and that's my favorite five days, yeah, me and you, yeah, every day.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:08.559
I'm closing my eyes at nighttime, and I'm waking up and poof, you're there.
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.519
And then I close them the best part, you're there.
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:14.239
Um, I know I it was funny.
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:20.000
We were having one of the nights, uh, was it Tuesday night or Wednesday night, and we were kind of like processing everything for the wedding.
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:23.679
And uh I was thinking about that.
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.320
Like when we do things at home, we normally have to do that part separately.
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.280
Like we try to do as many things together.
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:36.000
I know shocker, but there are certain things that just have to happen apart.
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:40.320
And when we are home, it makes sense that we would do these things in our separate homes.
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:45.199
And therefore, you know, we usually just kind of come together on game day and we knock that shit out.
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:54.320
But to be able to prep for game day together, 100%, do all this part that we'd normally do separately together.
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.039
And then again, for afterwards, right?
00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:01.519
Usually there's a couple days off afterwards because we need to recover and we do that separately.
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:02.960
And like, that's just not fun.
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:11.360
I found a funner way to do it, and it is to have a destination wedding where I get to be with you before and during and after.
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:13.039
That was the shit.
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:15.519
That was the shit.
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:21.039
Because in true Bar Lisa form, we want to be together always, doing the thing that we love to do.
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.239
So it makes it make sense.
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:30.320
It it was one of those things where you have to think about how easy it was.
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:36.079
And while I don't want to go around saying that planning this wedding was easy, it wasn't easy.
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:42.559
It was there was nothing easy about getting people ready in an hour, you know, moving the ceremony up, all of those things.
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:48.639
But there was such an ease of the day that I'm like, no, this is flow state.
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.760
This is alignment, this is this is where we belong.
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.440
Because if we didn't, this wouldn't be so joyful and so easy at the same time.
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:06.079
So those are things that pieces of evidence that I now look for in the different things that we do to say, am I gonna continue to do this thing?
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.760
You know, many little gains and drains, you know, pros and cons.
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:13.760
And this one was a gain, a lot, a lot of gains.
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.639
And so I feel like it just makes sense.
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:18.639
It made us so happy.
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:20.559
Why would we not keep doing that?
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:21.360
Yeah.
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:25.599
Uh, but for a minute, let's stop and talk about that many gains and drains.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.679
What a what a great little tool.
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:28.400
Yeah.
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:31.199
We have been bringing them over a long time.
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:31.519
Yeah.
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:37.119
And has led to us even being here, right?
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.599
It does this bring me joy, yes or no?
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:42.239
Okay, then I'm moving towards the yes or the no.
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:43.760
Does this bring me joy?
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:44.880
Yes or no?
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.320
And I think that's how we have been able to elevate so quickly.
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.280
There is a constant audit being made.
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:55.199
Energy audit for sure.
00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:01.280
Is this going to drain my energy or is this going to help me gain energy?
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:06.639
Is this something that's going to excite me, or is this something that I'm going to be really pissed off afterwards, right?
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:13.840
Like those are, to me, those seem to be the simplest questions that I can ask myself to give myself that quick yes or no.
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:15.599
I'm doing this, I'm not doing this.
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:18.960
And at the end of the day, you always have to try something once, right?
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:22.480
I'm always uh, you know, you got to try it once and just see.
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.519
But sometimes you got to try it in order to answer those questions.
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:29.679
But once you answer it, you know, then you have your answer.
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:30.719
You have your answer.
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:31.440
You tried it.
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.159
Good job.
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.360
And now, did that gain your energy or did that drain your energy?
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.639
And then that's what you can help decide whether or not you're gonna keep doing that thing.
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:47.840
Because that's definitely something that I know a lot of people struggle with, and we struggle with is like once we start something, we feel like we have to finish it, we have to keep doing it.
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:54.480
And I think I'm okay now with being like, nah, I did that and I didn't like it, so I'm not doing that anymore.
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:56.480
And this was something that I loved.
00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.440
Yeah, no one hoped.
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:01.280
So I want to do it more percent.
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:08.639
So now here we are, a week later, filled to what I would think is like max capacity.
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:15.440
I don't know how much more I'm vibrating still off of love I could input into me.
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:24.960
And so ready to take on this next chapter of business, knowing very clearly this is it.
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:26.480
No, this is it.
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:32.960
And I know that I have so many more places to go, and let's just fucking go there.
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:34.719
I love it.
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:40.079
Oh and the best part is that we get to take all of you guys with us.
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:41.840
Something that I was thinking about.
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.199
We're coming fresh off of our third birthday.
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:54.239
And I was thinking about how in the beginning of the podcast, we kind of talked about our audience as being like a fly on the wall, right?
00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:01.920
Like this podcast is where me and you talk to each other and we have these conversations, and everyone else is just a fly on the wall and listening.
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:08.159
And I feel like we have now learned how to have the conversation with you guys in the room.
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:10.719
Now you're a part of the conversation.
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.800
And like I I felt that even down there, right?
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:20.880
Like talking about being excited to come back here and talk about on the podcast and to tell everyone what happened and what we did.
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:25.519
And it was like that moment where I was like, well, that's not a fly on the wall situation.
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:31.599
That's like they're here, they're in the room with us, and we're talking to them and telling them all the things that we did.
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:34.000
So, like, thanks for being here, guys.
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.280
Still feeling that birthday feels from last week.
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:52.800
And just really grateful that we have this space that we can kind of that we can come back to and talk about all the things that we did for our event because I just I love doing them and I love processing them this way, and I love sharing them and getting the word out.
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:57.599
So much so that we got the word out to a couple of flight attendants.
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:04.079
We did on one of the flights where they were like, no, hell yeah, I'm gonna go, uh I'm gonna listen to that, but I'm gonna go listen.
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:09.119
And that to me is always oh, yeah.
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:10.239
Like you are.
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:10.559
Yeah.
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.599
You are gonna go listen.
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:34.800
You are gonna, and even if you don't, if you do, it's just the fact that we're saying it out loud, yeah, the fact that we are three years in, the fact that we show up every week here to share a little bit of our story, a little bit of crazy shit that happened in the story, and some key points on how we maneuvered through that.
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:37.519
Yeah, that's that's really cool.
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:38.159
It is.
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:43.440
And I want to give the flowers to our favorite creative Inca.
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:49.519
Because at the end of the day, the people who ask those questions, the flight attendants, it's because of our branding.
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:56.400
Because our branding is mad fucking sexy and wearing the sweaters, and everybody always wants to know what is that?
00:41:56.559 --> 00:42:03.840
Every time they see that M in that lime, every time they see that little margarita doodle that we wear, they're like, hey, what is that?
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:05.039
I want to know more.
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:06.719
And that is all her.
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:18.159
And I am forever grateful for creating something that I love and now is getting so much recognition out there that everyone else is gonna love it too.
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:18.800
Yeah.
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:23.519
So much so that I think it is time for us to schedule our tattoos.
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:24.320
We said tattoos.
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:29.280
Marg's would get uh an official tattoo.
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.719
We got our homemade tattoos when we turned three.
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:33.039
Yeah.
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:35.199
Something about turning three years old.
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:36.639
It's like a big deal.
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:37.679
It matters.
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:44.880
I think it's it's one of those things where you can do anything for like a couple of years, but like three years feels like, oh, you've been doing like doing this.
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.559
And then like you're not gonna stop now, right?
00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:47.519
It's already been three years.
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:49.039
We might as well just kind of keep going.
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:50.719
So yeah, no, I agree.
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:51.760
But I'm excited.
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:52.239
You're right.
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:52.880
We do have to do that.
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:54.559
So I guess we should get off here.
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:55.599
Schedule that.
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:56.719
So that's a good idea.
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.199
All right.
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:59.599
This is the part where we're gonna love and leave our friends.
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:01.280
This is the part where you do all the things.

Bye.
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:15.199
Is it delicious or what?
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:16.239
Yeah, no, it's like really good.
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:17.360
I'm mad that we didn't talk about it.
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:19.679
I'm the lover called Gangsta.
