We Create Core Memories

WEBVTT
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:18.960
Episode 149.
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:20.960
We're almost there.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.640
And we have figured out what we're going to do for episode 150.
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:28.399
I know.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.679
Ahead of schedule.
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:31.600
One whole episode ahead of schedule.
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.520
We have figured it out.
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.520
So just be ready for that because that is gonna be dropping real soon.
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:38.399
All the deets.
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:39.359
Have fun.
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:41.039
So what's in your cup?
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:42.640
Water.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:50.159
Because we are going to a very grown-up friend dinner.
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:50.640
I know.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:51.280
I'm so excited.
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.719
We were invited to just come and hang by Sarah Joy.
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:57.119
Yeah.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.359
And I'm loving it, right?
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:04.480
So we're saving our margarita for later in the evening because I'm not out here trying to drink.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.799
I know what happens when I drink two margaritas.
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:08.640
So we're pacing ourselves.
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:09.920
That's an episode, right?
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:10.239
Yeah.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:10.879
One margarita.
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:11.680
We take a limit.
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:12.560
Yep, we do.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:14.400
We have a one margarita limit now.
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:15.280
And that's okay.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.400
And that's okay.
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.599
Um, I also love that it kind of ties into what we want to talk about, right?
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.920
We met Sarah Joy through the business community.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:26.159
Yeah.
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.120
Just, you know, seeing her, supporting her.
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:30.959
Marketing, all the things.
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.079
All the things.
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:38.319
And now we have this connection with what once was a stranger.
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:38.640
Yeah.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.480
But like now I love her so much.
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.920
And now I'm so excited to go to her house and eat this home-cooked meal.
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.200
And everyone's kind of bringing a piece to the dinner.
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.920
And it's because we decided five years ago, hey, let's start a business.
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:52.640
That part.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:53.439
That part.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.959
And I'm so excited too for the just the timing of it, right?
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.400
The way that it always lines up.
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.359
There were a few different days that were available for us to do this.
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.680
And it just so happened that it landed on the day that her episode uh here on the podcast is dropping.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:18.719
So that part just feels like what a fun way to like celebrate this friendship, celebrate this relationship, and just have a little bit of fun, you know.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.520
Like you said, this is our, it's not our first, you know, but like, I don't know, we just didn't do these things when we were younger.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:27.280
Like we just didn't do them in our 20s.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.199
We were working, we were moms, like we were living completely different lives in our 20s.
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:42.000
And we didn't live this where you just go over to your friend's house and they cook dinner for you and and you share margaritas, and one person makes desserts and one person makes drinks and the other makes dinner.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.879
Like, to me, that is so cute how it like all came together.
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.719
We all brought something together and we're gonna share a meal together later.
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.360
And that's not something that we did enough of, you know, in our youth.
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.680
And I love that it is coming into our owl season.
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:59.280
Uh I love that.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.800
You know, that we get to live this life and build these relationships so intentionally.
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:14.159
So I am, I'm excited to go spend our evening with Sarah Joy after we record this amazing podcast about how amazing our lives are now.
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.120
And that leads us to starting this business, right?
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.000
At the end of the day, starting this business changed our lives.
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:31.759
It was a huge step forward into our evolutionary journey.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.840
And something that we've found we're sharing more now, right?
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.840
Like we're I'm hearing the story, and I'm I'm like, oh yeah, that's right.
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.599
We did do that, or this and that.
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:44.159
Yeah.
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.800
I guess I'm not that I'm not sure why we're sharing the story.
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:55.520
The story should be shared over and over again, but I'm I'm in awe of the story every time I hear it.
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.560
So let's hear it again.
00:03:58.800 --> 00:03:59.759
It was fun.
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:08.080
We just one of the things that we got to do recently was be a part of this like photo shoot with a photographer, a local photographer.
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.560
And she asked us, right?
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.919
Like she asked us the questions and she tells us, like, how did you get here?
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.800
And I think the one thing that I love is that our story starts so far into the past, you know?
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.160
Um, and there are many episodes, I feel like on this podcast now that talk about our love story and how it started in fourth grade.
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:37.040
But I think the biggest piece that was really fun to talk about really was the beginning of business because most people choose this for themselves.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.759
Most people say, I want to start a business.
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.199
I want this for me.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.560
I want to be my own boss.
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:53.120
And it's not that we didn't have those feelings, but it was never us that said, let's do this.
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.759
It was something that was thrusted upon us.
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:05.279
So the responsibility came to us, the thought came to us, the idea of, hey, you have something very special that you should be sharing with the world.
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:06.399
You have a gift.
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.279
No one had ever told me I had a gift before.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.439
And I love that that's how our journey begins.
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.680
It doesn't even really have anything to do with the business.
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:24.000
It was someone seeing us for the first time and telling us that we had a gift to share with the world.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:30.240
And we just so happened to share that gift through a service-based business called homemade events.
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.079
And what a journey it's been.
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:46.319
Like five years ago, someone told us this and gave us an opportunity to throw a party the way that homemade events would throw a party.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.040
And then that party led to another party and led to another party.
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.920
And slowly but surely, we just accumulated systems.
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.680
We accumulated an LLC.
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.000
We accumulated a bank account.
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:07.040
We accumulated all of these things that go along with a business.
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:15.120
And we were in business for what, like a year, a little over a year before like we actually did it, right?
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.160
Like just complete womanhood in there, right?
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.959
We needed proof of concept, like living in our feminine.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.240
Like, there's no way that I'm gonna make this real if it's not really real.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.480
And then it was right, like a year in, we were like, I guess it's real, right?
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.079
We've been doing it for a year now, things are going pretty good.
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:52.079
Um, and like what what a journey, what a journey that it has been to be able to say, I didn't even choose this for myself in the beginning, and now here I am sending in paperwork to the state of New York so that way I can have an official name.
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:57.680
And then doing all of the other subsequent things, you know, that kind of come behind the scenes.
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:08.319
And now when people ask us, you know, what we do, there's such a flow of like, oh well, I just I create core memories.
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:09.600
That's what I do now.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.600
I couldn't say that five years ago.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.040
That was something that it didn't exist.
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.279
Five years ago, I was just starting a business.
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.800
Five years ago, I still had a corporate job.
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.959
And I remember not even saying that I was an entrepreneur.
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:25.600
That took time.
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:26.879
I didn't own that title.
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:28.959
That took a long time to own.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:41.199
And ultimately, I don't know where I was really going with this, but it it's such a a reflection to be able to go back and see where you started, right?
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.560
Like she, with one question, how did you guys start?
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:53.680
All of a sudden, the last five years of my life just come flooding back in a very fast time lapse, you know, in my brain.
00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:07.519
And it's fun to be able to go back there, to see it from the beginning, tell the story, get people, you know, caught up, and then tell them all of our new dreams that we have, you know, and how it's not not stopping here.
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:18.720
Um, that is probably one of my favorite things that I think we do now with networking, you know, and being able to go out and meet new people.
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.759
Just like meeting Sarah Joy, you know, being able to do that.
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:32.240
I wouldn't have thought that I would be the person that would kind of make an adult friend.
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.600
Because our story starts in fourth grade when I had found my best friend.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:39.840
I found the person that I need for the rest of my life.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:49.679
And so to like be on this cusp of like making adult friends and like building this life and building these relationships, and it all started because I chose to start a business.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:55.120
I can't say that I would have been this person if that's not the path that we chose for ourselves.
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:55.840
100%.
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:05.679
We the journey, the growth journey, the self journey, it all meshed together.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:15.120
And that is something that, you know, always forever grateful to Mama Adele for seeing that because we didn't see it.
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:26.960
We were doing it, we were living in our bliss as we were doing this for our friends and family without even the smidge of awareness that, hey, like this is it.
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:28.960
This is the thing that you're supposed to be doing.
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.360
Yeah.
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:30.720
And she gave that to us.
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.919
She gave us a gift of awareness, and we took that gift.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:45.600
And I feel so responsible to live that gift out because you gave me something that not everyone gets.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.679
You gave me a nugget, a gem, something that sparkles so bright.
00:09:49.840 --> 00:10:00.960
And I get to wake up every single day and like love that gift so much and do my very, very best because I do love it.
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.960
We love what we do.
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.039
And people are always like, Wow, you really do love what you do.
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:17.039
And I'm like, no, yes, I really do love what I do because while we are unlocking other people's core memories, we're unlocking memories for ourselves.
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.200
That's a play day for me.
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.399
That's the best kind of play day for me.
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:37.519
In my whole day is with my best friend in the car, driving from here, driving from there, and having fun and laughing and putting things together that blow people away.
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:39.919
That is the best.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.799
It's just the best feeling ever.
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.360
It's like an art class, right?
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.279
Like who hated art class?
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.279
I'm gonna say literally no one, right?
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:54.960
Like that was your opportunity to go play, to go do whatever you want, to be able to color, to draw.
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.919
Like there were just so many vessels that you could choose from.
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.559
And it was always the best class.
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.240
Who did you love the most in school?
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.519
Your art teachers, right?
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.120
They were the coolest fucking people.
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.559
They were chill, they were down to earth, they were real with you.
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.879
And it was just the place where you got to express yourself.
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.679
And what we do is art.
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:21.279
We get to do our art with each other because that's the relationship that we've built.
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:29.600
And now I get to express that every time that someone chooses me to unlock their core memory.
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:34.639
I get to create art for them with my best friend and live my best life.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.960
And the result of that is something beautiful for another person.
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.679
Say less.
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:50.799
I just get to go and do the thing that I love to do in this world, the imprint that I love to make, and it makes an impact on someone else's life.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.799
And I don't think that I need anything else.
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.960
I remember being in my corporate job and saying, I have no purpose here.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.480
I serve no purpose.
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.559
I'm selling printers.
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.639
Like, what impact does that make on people's lives?
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:14.879
And now I hold a space that carries so many people's memories.
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:22.159
80th birthday memories, 50th birthday memories, sweet 16 birthday memories, baby showers to first birthdays.
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.320
Like all of those memories are housed inside of my venue.
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.960
To me, that is a purpose.
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.080
And I want to fulfill that purpose every single day.
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.480
And I get to have so much fun doing it.
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:39.919
There is nothing fun about sitting in front of my computer and answering emails about when printers are going to be delivered.
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.399
Like nothing.
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.720
Never, never, not once one time wasn't it.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:44.480
What a fun day that was, you know.
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:46.480
Never walked away from that.
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:59.519
And now I get to wake up, have photo shoots, set up some parties, and be with my best friend from dawn till dusk.
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.200
That's the best day of my life.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.159
No, literally, the weekend was perfect.
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.360
It was so good.
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:15.600
And we got to kick off August in just the most classic Arlisa living their best homemade events lives.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.639
Like it was, it was just freaking fantastic.
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.279
Like through and through, all of it.
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.279
I'm grateful.
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.120
I'm grateful that we're here, right?
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.440
I'm grateful that we stuck out the hard times.
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:29.120
It wasn't that long ago.
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:34.720
I remember singing the sad songs and the roller coaster that is business.
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.360
And we love it, right?
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.440
With the lows come highs, and we are riding high.
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.960
We're getting to share our story.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.919
We're getting out there.
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.039
We're meeting new people.
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.480
We are trying new things in business.
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.879
And I want to say that out loud because I'm proud of us.
00:13:53.440 --> 00:14:00.559
The journey of the last five years has has been it has just been wow.
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.480
And I know that we still have such a journey ahead.
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:15.600
And I want to be proud for us because we're learning and we're growing and we're taking in as much as we can because we care.
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.000
Yeah.
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:17.759
Because there is a standard here.
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.559
Because I care about your core memories.
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.559
I care about how you intentionally celebrate with your family.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.480
I care about what we're building.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:38.480
And it's not all fun, but it's all worth it.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.799
Everything is worth it in the end.
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.480
These are once-in-a-lifetime moments, right?
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.200
You only turn 50 once.
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:48.960
You only turn one once.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:54.639
Like these are periods of time that you just you don't forget.
00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:06.399
And I'm never gonna take for granted that how you feel at your event, you will never forget it.
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:16.960
I know that and I carry that through every single event, through every single client, everything that we do, from the freebies all the way up to the highest paid event.
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.240
It doesn't matter to me.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.519
I have a standard.
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:25.360
And my standard is that this moment in time will live rent-free in your brain for the rest of your life.
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:32.960
And no, 100% perfection is the only thing that I shall accept.
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:38.399
It's the only thing that I shall deliver because that is what that means to me.
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:43.600
I know that I would want someone else to care about this moment for me the way that I care about it.
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.879
So at the end of the day, I just cannot.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.559
Every single year.
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.720
And you know, we're sitting here and we're like, what is the standard?
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.320
What's the homemade event standard?
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.840
That's the standard.
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.440
We asked, or we didn't ask her, we told her, right?
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.519
Like, thank you.
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.840
Thank you for now number five.
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.000
Thank you for this fifth event with you.
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:31.919
Because like it really means so much to us every single time we see your name come through our system.
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.519
And she was just like, Well, I wouldn't think of anyone else.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:41.279
That's the highest compliment I literally have ever gotten in my life.
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:46.080
When she said that to us, because it was so genuine, it was so honest.
00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:48.240
And we did it, right?
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:49.440
What is our mission?
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.679
Is to build trust, is to build community.
00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:00.320
And that means not only with the vendor community, but that also means with our clients.
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.159
I want to be your friend.
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:10.079
I want to be here when the kid turns five and 10, and then all of a sudden, oh my God, they're graduating from high school, right?
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.039
Like that, that matters to us.
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.200
The story matters to us.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:33.519
The fact that you are building a life and you want to celebrate the achievements along the way matters because that's something that we didn't do enough of for ourselves and decided, no, we will change that for our children.
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:33.920
Yeah.
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.319
Because celebrating yourself, if you aren't doing it, who is?
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.880
No one's out here giving you letter awards saying you're the best, right?
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.559
Like that stops at school.
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:44.880
Yeah.
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.240
So if you don't learn how to celebrate you, who the hell will?
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:48.960
Exactly.
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:53.440
And if you are leaning into celebrating yourself, let's do it.
00:17:53.599 --> 00:18:04.240
And I want to make it the most fun, amazing experience from beginning to end, not just the party and the beautiful setup that we have, but the planning.
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:04.480
Yeah.
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.160
Planning doesn't have to be boring.
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:06.720
Guess what?
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.039
We plan all day long and it's fun.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:11.839
It can be a fun process.
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.279
And that's what we're here to share.
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:20.559
We're here to share a gift and making that gift enjoyable and relatable.
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:26.960
And yeah, there's some parts that are not going to be so great, but like stick with me because at the end it's going to be so worth it.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.759
Yeah.
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:33.680
That's that's essentially what she gave to us is that you you are worth it.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.759
You've been worth it every single year.
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.000
You outdo yourselves every single year.
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.079
It's different every single year.
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.480
And it was, yeah.
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.359
It was like such a I wanted to I know right through the phone.
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.480
Um, it was.
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:49.680
And it was so nice, right?
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.519
To get there and almost like just be so familiar.
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.480
Be part of the family.
00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:56.160
We knew we knew everything.
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.160
Yeah, like all the things coming in.
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.240
And so it was like even just unloading, right?
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:05.279
We're like, we have a system, we know how your house works, we know how to load in and out of your home.
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:16.400
So it was like pulling up and just being able to knock everything out, get everything in the house, and then yeah, and then like talk to you, like your family, because I've watched your kids grow up.
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:24.160
And like, here is this party that I did four years ago for your little baby that now I'm doing another event, and she's not a little baby no more.
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:25.759
Like she was so big.
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.960
And, you know, there were new animals in the home, right?
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.359
Like, oh, I don't think these were here last year.
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:32.559
Did you just get these guys?
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:33.839
Like, are they new to the family?
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.559
Like to have these conversations and be able to build that relationship with her.
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.200
Like that, that was really cool.
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:46.240
And then, you know, we we do our thing, we leave, and she did it.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.640
She was like, I think this was my favorite setup yet.
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.400
Like, this was like the best one.
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:58.000
And I have no doubts that at some point next year something is going to come up and she will send in her inquiry.
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.599
And like, I am beyond grateful for her.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.920
I'm beyond grateful for that relationship.
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:22.960
And it is, it's just such a testament to what it's like to give us that trust because we will not take it for granted and we will make sure that not just one, but all of your memories are going to be very beautifully curated each and every time, uniquely to you.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:30.240
And I I don't know, I just I love that this is this is what we do for a living.
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:38.319
This is our lives, this is our career, this is how we create a difference in the world.
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.440
This is how we create currency in our lives.
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:47.920
This is how we show up for ourselves, for our community, for our children, for our family and our friends.
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:53.519
Like I embody my business everywhere that I am.
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:59.839
And that has set me up to just be like a whole different standard of person.
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.559
That like I didn't, I don't want to say I didn't know existed.
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:09.200
I'm sure I knew it existed, but like never did I ever think it was gonna be me.
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.400
You couldn't see yourself in that role.
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.759
And I think that that's the shift that we're feeling.
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:21.759
I if I had to you just said it and like I felt it in my tummy, yeah, that's it, right?
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:27.039
We we are now embodying what it means to be a business owner in year five.
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.400
It was cute in May when we're like, yeah, we're five, right?
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:32.319
Like it was cute because celebrate.
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.200
We were.
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:38.960
Yeah, that was the moment in time we can backdate it and do all the things.
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.559
And sometimes those feelings don't come until a little bit after.
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.960
You have to go through some shit and realize some shit in order to be able to fully embody.
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.279
Yeah.
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.160
And I do feel like we're doing that.
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.400
We are entrepreneurs.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:22:04.960
We've shed the title of this is my part-time thing, or this is my side hustle, or I'm, you know, I'm I'm searching and I'm trying really hard to make this my main hustle.
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.559
That that's in the past.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.160
We are entrepreneurs, period.
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.039
That's it.
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.599
Because going forward, I can never imagine not being an entrepreneur.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.200
So this is it for me.
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:28.400
And how lucky, how lucky do we get to be that we can sit here and know that 100% with 100% certainty, this is it for me.
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.960
And it is the best ride ever.
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:33.359
Ah, this is so good.
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:34.960
It does feel pretty good.
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.680
It does feel pretty good.
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:37.119
You're right, you're right, you're right.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.759
I just want to let that wash over me now.
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.400
Uh, so I feel like this is gonna be a good place to love and leave our friends because it does.
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:45.440
It feels so good.
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:47.440
