Introduction and Church Experience
00:00:00
Speaker
Whoa, there she is.
00:00:03
Speaker
Happy Sunday.
00:00:04
Speaker
Happy Sunday.
00:00:06
Speaker
I'm good.
00:00:09
Speaker
I'm good.
00:00:09
Speaker
I apologize because I've done a lot of lives, but I haven't joined a lot of lives.
00:00:14
Speaker
I realize you haven't been on the other side.
00:00:16
Speaker
You're saying exactly.
00:00:19
Speaker
I like your hair.
00:00:21
Speaker
Thank you.
00:00:24
Speaker
It's church day.
00:00:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:25
Speaker
Did you go to church this morning?
00:00:27
Speaker
Or today?
00:00:27
Speaker
I did.
00:00:28
Speaker
I did the church thing.
00:00:30
Speaker
Okay.
00:00:30
Speaker
How do I get the comments off my face?
00:00:33
Speaker
You say what?
00:00:34
Speaker
Check out how to get the comments off my face.
00:00:36
Speaker
I know.
00:00:37
Speaker
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
00:00:38
Speaker
Is it there to stay?
00:00:40
Speaker
It's okay.
00:00:41
Speaker
I don't know.
00:00:41
Speaker
Hi.
00:00:43
Speaker
It has to be a way.
00:00:46
Speaker
What's going on?
00:00:48
Speaker
What's going on?
00:00:50
Speaker
Yeah, we're here.
00:00:51
Speaker
How was church?
00:00:52
Speaker
What was the message today?
00:00:53
Speaker
If you can share, please.
00:00:55
Speaker
Well, so I went to my parents' church.
00:00:58
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:00
Speaker
The message while he reiterated the story of when Mary Magdalene found the empty tomb.
00:01:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:07
Speaker
And it was just interesting, his perspective on it.
00:01:11
Speaker
And interesting that we were going to talk about women, women today, women's empowerment.
00:01:15
Speaker
I was thinking about it.
00:01:16
Speaker
I was like, because Mary Magdalene was the one who found the empty tomb.
00:01:20
Speaker
And it was interesting that he touched on the fact that, you know, the Bible discusses a lot of times when we think about Jesus and the disciples, we think about 12 men.
00:01:29
Speaker
But the Bible talks a lot about Mary Magdalene and she gets kind of skipped out of the picture a lot of the times.
00:01:36
Speaker
So I thought it was cool that he talked a lot about her and her impacts and her plot in the story.
00:01:45
Speaker
Her, you know, the impact that she had.
00:01:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:47
Speaker
They stay behind every successful man as a woman or women, if you know what I mean.
00:01:53
Speaker
Yeah, that's a good point.
Meet Kimmy and Her Journey
00:01:55
Speaker
So I mean to my followers and people who might not know you, I met Kimmy on social media.
00:02:01
Speaker
She posts always amazing content and I followed her.
00:02:04
Speaker
And over the time we built a friendship.
00:02:07
Speaker
And I actually never met Kimmy in person.
00:02:09
Speaker
But we're like IG friends.
00:02:12
Speaker
And I discovered that you have a podcast.
00:02:15
Speaker
What's the name of your podcast?
00:02:17
Speaker
Oh, your IG live chat?
00:02:18
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:19
Speaker
It's Empower Hour.
00:02:21
Speaker
Empower Hour.
00:02:22
Speaker
So I've watched a few of those and you're just really good at asking questions and interviewing people.
00:02:28
Speaker
So I was like, you know what, let's get her on and let her talk about women empowerment, women leadership, self development.
00:02:36
Speaker
Before we get into that, can you just give people a synopsis or just a brief description of like your background, where you from, what you do.
00:02:45
Speaker
I mean, also, she's really into nice watches.
00:02:47
Speaker
She's always got to watch one of them.
00:02:49
Speaker
They got a nice watch on that.
00:02:52
Speaker
She's a watch girl too, so she loves watches.
00:02:55
Speaker
But yeah, just give people just a brief description of just like who you are and what you do and then we get right into it.
00:03:01
Speaker
Thank you.
00:03:01
Speaker
How's my sound?
00:03:03
Speaker
How's your what?
00:03:04
Speaker
My sound.
00:03:05
Speaker
Yeah, I can hear you.
00:03:06
Speaker
You sound great.
00:03:06
Speaker
Okay, great.
00:03:07
Speaker
Thank you.
00:03:08
Speaker
And I, first and foremost, that's wild that we've never met.
00:03:11
Speaker
I feel like we've met.
00:03:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:13
Speaker
But yeah, I appreciate you for inviting me onto your platform.
00:03:19
Speaker
And yeah, so I'm from Kansas City and I. Oh, cheese.
00:03:23
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:25
Speaker
Next year.
00:03:28
Speaker
Yes, I per Kansas City and I got the heck up out of Dodge.
00:03:31
Speaker
I went to San Diego.
00:03:32
Speaker
I went the corporate route first.
00:03:35
Speaker
I got a degree in accounting and was checking my boxes.
00:03:39
Speaker
Like this is what I'm supposed to do.
00:03:41
Speaker
I'm going to go to college.
00:03:42
Speaker
I'm going to go work in corporate.
00:03:45
Speaker
I got a, you know, sweet gig working at a big four public accounting firm and worked as an auditor for a few years.
00:03:52
Speaker
But I did, I felt a tugging in my soul.
00:03:56
Speaker
and that it wasn't fulfilling my purpose.
00:04:02
Speaker
And that I had like, I just had more to give.
00:04:04
Speaker
And I saw the trajectory of what my life would be like staying there, which was great.
00:04:10
Speaker
And theoretically, what I probably was supposed to do, but I felt a tugging to go a different way.
00:04:16
Speaker
So I followed this crazy,
00:04:19
Speaker
looked crazy, quit my corporate job, moved to LA and pursued my passion to work in the luxury industry, specifically with watches.
00:04:27
Speaker
Like you said, I have a crazy knack for luxury watches.
00:04:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:35
Speaker
So I thought, Oh, put me on the spot.
00:04:39
Speaker
It's tough.
00:04:41
Speaker
I have a lot of favorites.
00:04:44
Speaker
Right now I'd say Grand Seiko is a brand that I really like.
00:04:49
Speaker
I like the underdog brands because yeah, a lot of brands are, you know, they have, it's kind of like any fashion brand.
00:04:56
Speaker
Like a lot of people just want it just because of the brand name, which is great.
00:05:01
Speaker
I also participate in that, but there's a lot of brands that are just not as well known, but have a lot to bring to the table.
00:05:10
Speaker
So yeah, I like Grand Seiko.
00:05:11
Speaker
If anyone listening hasn't heard of them, go seek them out.
00:05:16
Speaker
But yeah, there's a lot of brands that are that are great.
00:05:19
Speaker
I could go on and on.
00:05:22
Speaker
Well, thank you for that.
00:05:23
Speaker
So Kansas City, you're not on the West Coast with the corporate rally into watches.
Women Empowerment and Community Building
00:05:27
Speaker
And now we want to talk about women empowerment.
00:05:30
Speaker
So I think of women empowerment as a man, I think about inspire, motivate, encourage and
00:05:38
Speaker
pushing a woman into her purpose or her path or her direction of which she believes she knows she can have and want.
00:05:44
Speaker
And granted, we all need to push.
00:05:46
Speaker
We all need to challenge.
00:05:47
Speaker
We need someone to hold us accountable.
00:05:49
Speaker
But from your perspective, being a woman and having your platform and your Power Hour, what is women empowerment from your end?
00:05:56
Speaker
How do you see it?
00:05:58
Speaker
Sure.
00:05:58
Speaker
Great question.
00:05:59
Speaker
You're good at this.
00:06:02
Speaker
My goal with women with Empower Hour
00:06:05
Speaker
was really to create a space, I say safe space for women to inspire, educate and empower one another.
00:06:14
Speaker
And not to exclude men, but my goal with it is that women work great in community, right?
00:06:23
Speaker
And we work best when we're bouncing off each other and listening to each other and empowering one another and inspiring one another.
00:06:31
Speaker
So my goal with
00:06:32
Speaker
the podcast and with empower hour was to really just create a space where we can hear each other out.
00:06:37
Speaker
What do you have to offer?
00:06:38
Speaker
What can I learn from you?
00:06:40
Speaker
And how can I be empowered from by listening to you?
00:06:43
Speaker
I love that.
00:06:43
Speaker
That's a perfect elevator pitch.
00:06:45
Speaker
So I want to buy this.
00:06:48
Speaker
So I'm taking offers.
00:06:50
Speaker
What we've been said that makes sense.
00:06:51
Speaker
So the question to follow that, does that mean there's a lot of challenges?
00:06:57
Speaker
in a workspace or just in personal life, business with women amongst one another as competition, trying to belittle one another, step on top.
00:07:06
Speaker
Like as a man, I mean, you see it sometimes with women competing, but you don't actually know it.
00:07:13
Speaker
So what is the stratosphere?
00:07:14
Speaker
What is the environment like women to women when you go out maybe to a nightclub, you go out to a dinner or like what is it?
00:07:21
Speaker
Is it more love?
00:07:22
Speaker
Is it more resistant?
00:07:24
Speaker
Is it more neutral?
00:07:24
Speaker
Like what is that energy like?
00:07:26
Speaker
Yeah, from a general perspective.
00:07:29
Speaker
Right.
00:07:29
Speaker
That's it's I can't speak for all women.
00:07:34
Speaker
And I think it's like the answer to that question heavily depends on what kind of woman you are and what kind of environments you're putting yourself in.
00:07:41
Speaker
Right.
00:07:41
Speaker
So I, I would say from a from a higher standpoint, like if you look at corporate boardrooms, oftentimes there might be one woman at the table.
00:07:53
Speaker
or maybe at a senior manager position, there might be one or two women.
00:07:58
Speaker
That's increasingly getting better.
00:07:59
Speaker
There's more and more women getting there.
00:08:02
Speaker
But I think it's because of these conversations that women can kind of have with each other.
00:08:06
Speaker
Because if you're the only woman at the table, it's hard to seek out other women who think like you and want to achieve the same goals as you.
00:08:13
Speaker
So I think the goal of women empowerment for me, from my perspective,
00:08:18
Speaker
is to connect women who want to empower each other and inspire one another because it might be difficult to find that where you're at or with your specific trajectory for example when i was in big four corporate environment there were a lot of times i was only woman at the table or i was yeah a woman who was going into a position where i needed to speak to a group of men
00:08:42
Speaker
so with women empowerment you want to create safe environments so that women can connect on a level that's relatable to them or with other women who want the same things as them does that make sense no that makes sense so you said you know a safe space so as a woman in business for you or just in in general do you feel unprotected in in any aspect um
00:09:07
Speaker
I don't say I wouldn't say I don't feel unprotected.
Overcoming Misconceptions and Stereotypes
00:09:10
Speaker
I would say that there are times where you just feel misunderstood.
00:09:14
Speaker
Okay, I like that.
00:09:15
Speaker
Or like, yeah, misunderstood is the word I'll use because I think a lot of times though the strengths that women have can get kind of brushed under the table because maybe they're not the same strengths that men have, or they might just move differently.
00:09:32
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:09:33
Speaker
So there's a quote that says, when it talks about women and it said, you want women to be strong and confident, but when she's something, she's too aggressive.
00:09:45
Speaker
I forgot the quote.
00:09:46
Speaker
You know what I'm talking about?
00:09:51
Speaker
I can't remember it.
00:09:52
Speaker
But anyway, it's like, you know, they say you want an independent woman, but when she's in her independence,
00:09:59
Speaker
she's too pushy or too challenging.
00:10:01
Speaker
I forgot that I find it.
00:10:02
Speaker
Yeah, I get the vibe.
00:10:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's interesting how narratives based on gender are so attached to a person in that that narrative becomes the world's perception.
00:10:15
Speaker
And I think that's what a misunderstanding comes in.
00:10:18
Speaker
Because, you know, I'm saying, oh, she's a woman.
00:10:21
Speaker
So therefore, she thinks like this, she feels like this, she's that, she's this.
00:10:25
Speaker
so that's going to make that but we don't even know that person to even say that we're just going off of what the world has given us and programmed us to believe about women so for you to find your empowerment for you to find your motivation for you to be inspired what women or women have you looked up to who inspired you and motivate you to be more empowered be more of a trailblazer uh you have you or just a leader in your own role and position like who has inspired you in your life
00:10:54
Speaker
another great question.
00:10:56
Speaker
And to your point that you were making about kind of the insinuation that comes along with with strong women.
00:11:04
Speaker
And to connect those that question there's a Sheryl Sandberg is one woman I do look up to there are some things I disagree with her about but overall, I am a big fan of her theories of, you know, how women can show up for themselves and how they can
00:11:19
Speaker
sit at the table as she likes to say and she actually brought up a statistic or a study that showed that there is a positive correlation with men and success and there's a negative correlation with women and success.
00:11:37
Speaker
Oh, now we're talking.
00:11:39
Speaker
Why did she explain why?
00:11:42
Speaker
Um, probably it probably I watched a TED talk where she talked about that.
00:11:46
Speaker
And I think she does go more into depth about it.
00:11:49
Speaker
But I think it's just kind of maybe our own thought paradigms and characteristics that are we correlate to be with successful men are just a little bit.
00:12:00
Speaker
I don't I don't know actually why that is the case.
00:12:02
Speaker
But it is something that you notice.
00:12:04
Speaker
And especially with women amongst each other, when you're seeing a successful woman or
00:12:11
Speaker
maybe you're seeing someone who's doing something that you wish you were doing, but you're not doing.
00:12:17
Speaker
Are you correlating, are you getting positive feelings with that?
00:12:19
Speaker
Are you getting feelings of envy and jealousy with that?
00:12:22
Speaker
I think that could be a life thing too for people because you know I've experienced that in multiple cases with people close to me or people I know in general.
00:12:32
Speaker
What's her name again?
00:12:33
Speaker
Cheryl?
00:12:34
Speaker
Cheryl Sandberg.
00:12:35
Speaker
Cheryl Sandberg.
00:12:36
Speaker
What is her background?
00:12:38
Speaker
She's she works with Facebook.
00:12:39
Speaker
She's the COO of Facebook I believe.
00:12:42
Speaker
Okay.
00:12:42
Speaker
Got it.
00:12:43
Speaker
Got it.
00:12:44
Speaker
Yes.
00:12:44
Speaker
She's sitting at the table.
00:12:45
Speaker
She's got a lot of great books and resources.
00:12:47
Speaker
I really look up to her.
00:12:49
Speaker
obviously like Oprah, just these women who have just created space and have done it.
00:12:58
Speaker
Oprah, especially because she to me is the ultimate embodiment of a successful woman.
00:13:04
Speaker
And she's also done so much work spiritually.
00:13:08
Speaker
Because for me, I think you want to be well-rounded.
00:13:10
Speaker
You want to do the work spiritually, physically, mentally, financially to be really a fully empowered person.
00:13:18
Speaker
And I think she's a great example of that too.
00:13:20
Speaker
You should coin that definition.
00:13:22
Speaker
I think you should coin that.
00:13:23
Speaker
That's a great analogy, a way to put that all in there for one word.
00:13:27
Speaker
I think that's phenomenal.
00:13:29
Speaker
I like that.
00:13:30
Speaker
Because to be empowered, I mean, you're working on every aspect of yourself, your identity, how you see yourself.
Supporting Women and Leadership
00:13:37
Speaker
I like that.
00:13:39
Speaker
Yeah, so the talk about women and success and successful women, I love successful women.
00:13:44
Speaker
I love a woman who's driven, is independent, that knows what she wants.
00:13:48
Speaker
Because as a man, it's different when a woman is motivating you or challenging you like verbally, right?
00:13:57
Speaker
Or just like in your situation or whatever, you know, you're dealing with.
00:14:03
Speaker
I know for me to see a woman go do her thing and kill it and dominate and evolve and elevate subconsciously to me if I'm dating her or she's a friend of mine or she's a family member, it motivates me.
00:14:19
Speaker
It impacts me like she's kidding.
00:14:21
Speaker
Like that's attractive, right?
00:14:24
Speaker
That's like I want to have a conversation with her.
00:14:27
Speaker
I want to know what her routine is like.
00:14:28
Speaker
I want to know what does she do to prepare for me.
00:14:31
Speaker
Like just for example, my aunt, she's VP of Diversity and Inclusion over at Netflix, right?
00:14:38
Speaker
And for 20, 25 years, she had her own business where she was talking about diversity, women empowering, consulting, just businesses.
00:14:47
Speaker
But she's head of VP over there.
00:14:49
Speaker
And she's always been on the prowl of becoming more, doing more.
00:14:53
Speaker
And she's the breadwinner and, you know, one side of the family.
00:14:56
Speaker
So it motivated me.
00:14:58
Speaker
I remember her sitting the family down, at least all the cousins and her niece and nephews.
00:15:04
Speaker
She's like, look, I don't want to do this alone.
00:15:06
Speaker
I don't want to do this alone.
00:15:07
Speaker
And I remember like, it was like maybe like six, seven years ago.
00:15:09
Speaker
And I said, I got you.
00:15:10
Speaker
I'm coming.
00:15:11
Speaker
You know, like, I was still in my 20s trying to figure it out.
00:15:16
Speaker
But I was like,
00:15:17
Speaker
But it was just so motivating.
00:15:18
Speaker
Like she, man, went to Columbia undergrad and she went to Harvard Law School and then, you know, she just did it, you know.
00:15:24
Speaker
And I respect people who do the work, right.
00:15:28
Speaker
It's one thing to read a book, right.
00:15:30
Speaker
I say, look, I got this knowledge, but it's another thing to not only read a book, but also live a book and experience it.
00:15:37
Speaker
And I think for me, my intentions with women as I evolve as a man and understand them more, I want to empower women, right.
00:15:45
Speaker
How do I empower women?
00:15:46
Speaker
What do they really need?
00:15:47
Speaker
And as I got older, I'm like, damn, from my perspective, women don't need much out of a man, men.
00:15:54
Speaker
They really need simple stuff.
00:15:56
Speaker
You know, when it comes to a partner or friends, just empowerment, motivation, letting them know that you care, right?
00:16:04
Speaker
And just
00:16:05
Speaker
just you know, holding them accountable in different ways.
00:16:08
Speaker
And I realized as a man when you do your thing and you're in your purpose, it's easy for a woman to get her purpose if she doesn't have one.
00:16:15
Speaker
Right?
00:16:16
Speaker
And vice versa.
00:16:17
Speaker
So I think as men, you know, I believe, you know, men in these days
00:16:23
Speaker
I think we got to step up more for women, right?
00:16:25
Speaker
Women are showing up in all facets, right?
00:16:27
Speaker
Money, business, home, parenting.
00:16:33
Speaker
Like women are doing the whole nine yards.
00:16:35
Speaker
They're doing the whole 100 yards.
00:16:38
Speaker
So what I think I discovered was that women don't really need men or depend on men no more, really.
00:16:46
Speaker
depending on who you are for money anymore.
00:16:48
Speaker
That's not like it as attractive.
00:16:50
Speaker
And if it is, it doesn't, your money won't keep them there.
00:16:54
Speaker
I think women are speaking now for men is spiritual currency, right?
00:16:59
Speaker
Someone who's spiritually strong, someone who's spiritually capable, someone who's spiritually grounded and understand
00:17:07
Speaker
the spiritual realm as much as the business.
00:17:09
Speaker
So it's a dichotomy of like a lot of different things.
00:17:13
Speaker
But I think if men and women we kind of communicate, understand your perspective, understand what leadership is, what motivation is from your perspective, because we like to generalize what we believe something is for someone else, but women think differently than men.
00:17:32
Speaker
Yes.
00:17:32
Speaker
Right.
00:17:32
Speaker
So I think you said that safe space.
00:17:35
Speaker
I think that safe space for women is just listening to them and letting them speak on what they feel.
00:17:40
Speaker
Not what we think is right because men were logical.
00:17:43
Speaker
We like to you know things make sense.
00:17:46
Speaker
But there's a quote that says whenever you're making a big decision always get advice from a woman.
00:17:51
Speaker
Hey I've said that before.
00:17:54
Speaker
You know not to go off tangent but I just think I just you know had to you know unpack that and say that.
00:17:59
Speaker
But moving forward
00:18:02
Speaker
I don't think that's a tangent at all actually.
00:18:04
Speaker
I mean, I just want to keep it.
00:18:06
Speaker
This is about you said the word purpose.
00:18:09
Speaker
Yeah, Sheryl Sandberg talks a lot about that too.
00:18:12
Speaker
She talks about part of being a powered woman is be having the right partner and making your partner and actually partner.
00:18:22
Speaker
Say that again.
00:18:23
Speaker
You gotta say that again.
00:18:24
Speaker
That's powerful.
00:18:27
Speaker
Part of being empowered woman is having the right partner.
00:18:30
Speaker
And I think having the right partners is finding someone who is in their purpose.
00:18:35
Speaker
And to your point, makes it easier for you to be in your purpose.
00:18:40
Speaker
Right?
00:18:40
Speaker
Interesting.
00:18:41
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:43
Speaker
Um, we talked about self-help.
00:18:45
Speaker
We talked about books.
00:18:46
Speaker
Like what books are you currently reading or you're, you've been going through audio books and really lately.
Recommended Readings and Self-Development
00:18:53
Speaker
Wow.
00:18:54
Speaker
I I've been inundated with books lately.
00:18:57
Speaker
based on some recommendations from friends.
00:19:01
Speaker
I actually just listened to The Way of the Superior Man on audiobook.
00:19:05
Speaker
Oh, where is it at?
00:19:06
Speaker
Where is it at?
00:19:07
Speaker
Yo.
00:19:08
Speaker
Yo, it's so good, right?
00:19:10
Speaker
Yes, so good.
00:19:11
Speaker
This book has helped me so much, like in relationship, just understanding.
00:19:17
Speaker
My last while I did, I talked about love versus purpose, like,
00:19:20
Speaker
Man, powerful book people.
00:19:22
Speaker
Y'all should get this book.
00:19:22
Speaker
Y'all should read it.
00:19:23
Speaker
I'm telling you, change your life.
00:19:25
Speaker
Literally.
00:19:26
Speaker
Men and women.
00:19:27
Speaker
I think men and women need to read that.
00:19:28
Speaker
Right, right.
00:19:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker
Men and women should both read that book because I think it's, if you're, if you want to be a superior man, read it.
00:19:38
Speaker
If you're a woman and you want to find a superior man, I think you should read it.
00:19:41
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:19:43
Speaker
I'm also big, right now I have to shout out my favorite book that I'm rereading, which is Female Brain.
00:19:49
Speaker
Oh, I read that book.
00:19:51
Speaker
You've read that book?
00:19:52
Speaker
I love that book.
00:19:55
Speaker
Listen, I read the female brain and the male brain.
00:19:59
Speaker
But here's the thing, this was like seven years ago.
00:20:02
Speaker
So my talent agent, when I first moved to LA, his name is Rodney Chestnut.
00:20:08
Speaker
He was like a big time superstar on Noah's art show.
00:20:11
Speaker
He was gay, right?
00:20:14
Speaker
Before, you know, I came to LA, I didn't really understand, you know, people who are in that world.
00:20:19
Speaker
And so we always have like deep, intimate conversations.
00:20:23
Speaker
And I've dated a girl one time, who she told me her brother knew he was gay at the age of three.
00:20:30
Speaker
So it triggered my mind, I said, hold on, I gotta do some research.
00:20:33
Speaker
I'm really curious about how someone determines their sexuality, like where did that come from?
00:20:40
Speaker
I think I read the male brain and that was kind of accurate about how men think and how we are.
00:20:44
Speaker
Then I read the female brain.
00:20:46
Speaker
And then the female brain, she quoted a lot of like other
00:20:51
Speaker
books and stuff for her information.
00:20:53
Speaker
She said a gay man's brain is equivalent to a straight woman's brain.
00:20:59
Speaker
And she was saying some of it is hereditary, it's hormonal, it's from DNA.
00:21:04
Speaker
It was deep.
00:21:06
Speaker
But it made things make sense in my mind.
00:21:11
Speaker
It's just like I get it now.
00:21:13
Speaker
And a lot of people don't believe in that.
00:21:14
Speaker
A lot of people don't want to hear it.
00:21:15
Speaker
But I'm the type of person, I want to help people in life.
00:21:18
Speaker
So it's like, if you don't, it doesn't matter your sexuality, it doesn't matter your religion, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, white or black.
00:21:26
Speaker
It's about if you're in my life and you're in my frequency and I'm supposed to help you, I'm going to help you.
00:21:32
Speaker
I'm not going to judge you based on what you're choosing or what you're doing because I don't have control over that, right?
00:21:37
Speaker
So my whole thing is I seek to understand then to be understood because if I project what I'm feeling about that stereotype, I already missed the boat, already missed the shot because I'm not understanding what I'm dealing with.
00:21:50
Speaker
I'm just examining it and giving my thoughts and my perception.
00:21:54
Speaker
And it's just not fake.
00:21:55
Speaker
But that's a book.
00:21:56
Speaker
That's a great book.
00:21:58
Speaker
Yeah, great book.
00:21:59
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy that it all comes down to like a chromosomal break off at the end of the day.
00:22:04
Speaker
as far as for women or feminine energies people who identify as female i think the book is really helpful because as a woman going through life and male brain but as when you're going through life to to have an understanding of the way that your emotions work and if you want to talk self-development women's leadership women's empowerment that all comes together when you can understand what's happening to you like when you're
00:22:32
Speaker
with what your hormones are doing and how that's how that's affecting how you're thinking on any given day and how you're reacting to things.
00:22:39
Speaker
I think for women in leadership, it's highly important to be in tune with yourself and the way you think and the way you react to things, because that way you can be a better leader and that way you can empower more people.
00:22:51
Speaker
And you're not just reacting emotionally, you're you're coming from an educated place.
00:22:56
Speaker
Do you know what I mean?
00:22:57
Speaker
That book for me was huge.
00:22:59
Speaker
Yeah, it is playing a lot, you know, just a lot of things I had questions about.
00:23:03
Speaker
And what I discovered
00:23:07
Speaker
as a man dealing with old people, the more I always say information changes situations.
00:23:13
Speaker
And if you're questioning something you don't have a clue or understanding about when you get the information from a context that makes sense, you're allowed to have not only compassion for a person in a situation, grace, you're also going to be more forgiving because you have more understanding of what that person was going through in the moment of whatever happened to you.
00:23:34
Speaker
For me, I'm always looking for an edge or a loophole to find like, I need something there that I need to figure out to make this like, oh, that makes sense, right?
00:23:44
Speaker
You know, like, oh, okay, so yeah.
00:23:47
Speaker
And I think as people, we don't take time to process our feelings, our thoughts and emotions, because we're just impulsive sometimes.
00:23:56
Speaker
And we think about what another person is going through.
00:23:59
Speaker
We just go what we see and not what we know.
00:24:02
Speaker
what happens is we quit the judge oh i would never do that oh she's crazy why she do this or why she do that or you know like you know why she wear all his makeup or why he always showing his money or you know what i'm saying and then you get down you say well you know she was very she was verbally abused as a kid and you know she was always talked down and she doesn't feel secure you know what i'm saying in her own skin and right or he was always broke he never had money and everybody you know what i mean like once you unpack people's lives and stories you're like
00:24:34
Speaker
I get it, you know, so it's so important.
00:24:37
Speaker
I wanted to ask you, we talked about leadership for a bit.
00:24:41
Speaker
What does women leadership, what is that to
Vision for Inclusive Leadership
00:24:45
Speaker
you?
00:24:45
Speaker
But what does that look like in a big, big picture?
00:24:48
Speaker
Like what does women leadership look like if you had to, you know, paint that picture for us?
00:24:55
Speaker
I'm gonna quote Sheryl Sandberg again because she says someday we'll just have leaders and not women leaders.
00:25:05
Speaker
Sheryl.
00:25:06
Speaker
Aha moment, tweetable moment, it's like Oprah said.
00:25:08
Speaker
Yes, I'll Sheryl right there, but it's true.
00:25:12
Speaker
Like it's the same as any minority group.
00:25:16
Speaker
And I put that in quotes because that's, you know, that's on a spectrum, but
00:25:21
Speaker
when you're underrepresented at any specific table, first you got to get the representation at the table and then everyone can just be seated there equally.
00:25:29
Speaker
And I think the future of female leadership is just leadership.
00:25:33
Speaker
But for now, I think it's a it's a process of both sides.
00:25:37
Speaker
So like women are feminine energies becoming more empowered themselves, putting seating at the table like Sheryl Sandberg says, and knowing your strengths, acting on your strengths,
00:25:50
Speaker
and creating space for more women at that table.
00:25:54
Speaker
That's critical.
00:25:55
Speaker
Not just hogging your seat, but creating more seats for other women at your table and pulling them to the table.
00:26:02
Speaker
Go to the table, let's eat.
00:26:03
Speaker
We all eat.
00:26:04
Speaker
Come on.
00:26:05
Speaker
Never eat alone.
00:26:06
Speaker
Come here.
00:26:07
Speaker
Come to the table, let's eat.
00:26:09
Speaker
What you want to go eat, right?
00:26:10
Speaker
Let's go.
00:26:11
Speaker
Come here.
00:26:12
Speaker
And men pulling up seats to the table, which is, again, I appreciate conversations like this.
00:26:17
Speaker
You're bringing me on your platform.
00:26:18
Speaker
Let's go.
00:26:21
Speaker
Everyone can rise.
00:26:22
Speaker
Together we can do whatever.
00:26:23
Speaker
Together is better.
00:26:24
Speaker
Together is more.
00:26:25
Speaker
Like, come on, we can transform together.
00:26:28
Speaker
I don't want to do this alone.
00:26:29
Speaker
I don't want to be alone.
00:26:31
Speaker
It doesn't feel good to be in a position where you're not only going with all the information or the understanding or the intellect or the finance, whatever it is.
00:26:39
Speaker
Everybody, I want you to be.
00:26:41
Speaker
I want you to feel empowered.
00:26:42
Speaker
I want you to have money.
00:26:43
Speaker
I want you to be motivated.
00:26:44
Speaker
I want you to teach me something.
00:26:46
Speaker
I don't always teach.
00:26:46
Speaker
I want to learn.
00:26:47
Speaker
I want you to challenge me.
00:26:49
Speaker
So if I got real lions and real people on my team that's going to challenge me and are real and authentic, I don't have no choice but to grow.
00:27:02
Speaker
They say you are the five people you hang around, right?
00:27:05
Speaker
And I think that, you know, people take it for granted because they don't really understand it.
00:27:11
Speaker
I always like to break it down in like energy and like sports, right?
00:27:16
Speaker
So if I want to play pro basketball and I'm just getting out of college, I'm not going to go play with the college guys.
00:27:22
Speaker
I'm going to go play summer pro and with the pros.
00:27:25
Speaker
I'm going to see if I'm good at it.
00:27:26
Speaker
And the more repetition, because repetition is the mother of skill, the better I'm going to get if I'm playing with the professionals, right?
00:27:35
Speaker
Or if Ed Milot, he said, and I always thought of this,
00:27:40
Speaker
say you're in a tough environment, you're, you're,
00:27:43
Speaker
you're struggling in life, it's hard to make ends meet.
00:27:47
Speaker
I say once a week, twice a week, go somewhere where it's nice at, where money's at, where it feels good.
00:27:52
Speaker
Just go to Starbucks in a richest neighborhood.
00:27:55
Speaker
Go to the park in a nice neighborhood and just be there for an hour and see what happens to your energy.
00:28:01
Speaker
See what happens to your thoughts.
00:28:03
Speaker
See what happens to your frequency.
00:28:04
Speaker
Do you want to think different?
00:28:06
Speaker
You're going to feel different.
00:28:06
Speaker
You're going to be different.
00:28:07
Speaker
And then therefore different can show up in your life.
00:28:10
Speaker
But if we stay in
00:28:12
Speaker
the bubble we grew up in, we were raised in, we can never grow outside of that bubble because outside of that bubble is uncomfortable.
00:28:19
Speaker
And I was reading something this morning and he said, when you go down a road to be comfortable, you're never going to live the life you want.
00:28:27
Speaker
You just never.
00:28:28
Speaker
So you have to put yourself in uncomfortable positions where you're taking chances to your advances and you're taking risks.
00:28:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:36
Speaker
We're so afraid of uncertainty and we want to control our life that
00:28:42
Speaker
We don't prepare our life for the best life because we're always trying to like, I can't do this.
00:28:46
Speaker
I can't do that.
00:28:46
Speaker
I used to be that way.
00:28:48
Speaker
I just got to be like, no, just live, just be, go for it.
00:28:51
Speaker
What you got to live.
00:28:53
Speaker
You can only learn.
00:28:56
Speaker
That's another question for you.
00:28:58
Speaker
One question was, what are some challenges you face or you think women face in business in general, you know, not only with men, but just from stereotypical?
00:29:09
Speaker
Like, what is it, what is the most common thing you have witnessed in business with women, the challenges that you face?
00:29:18
Speaker
Sure.
00:29:19
Speaker
And quick shout out to plug to my own empower hour.
00:29:21
Speaker
I have an episode with Chelsea.
00:29:23
Speaker
Her last name's escaped me, but Chelsea on my power hour, she's a badass CEO of multiple businesses.
00:29:29
Speaker
And we talked a lot about some of these things, but, um, generally it's oftentimes that women feel a need to overcompensate their own knowledge and their own worth and their own information at the table.
00:29:45
Speaker
Again, a quote citation is from Cheryl is that if you take the same survey and you ask men and women the same subjective questions about themselves, women will nine times out of 10 underestimate undervalue their own skills and men will overvalue their their their skills.
00:30:08
Speaker
So it's interesting to see that what happens is you have women under representing their value or overcompensating trying to prove what they know at a table.
00:30:20
Speaker
I could see, I see that happening in real estate and corporate and all over the place.
00:30:27
Speaker
It's just that you feel and that comes down to women not negotiating for themselves, women not asking for raises, things like that.
00:30:34
Speaker
Why do you think they underestimate their power or their beliefs?
00:30:40
Speaker
What does that come from, you believe?
00:30:45
Speaker
To geek out about it, I think it comes down a lot to our biology and our brains and our hormones and the ways just that we think naturally.
00:30:56
Speaker
But I think it's a it's a paradigm shift.
00:30:58
Speaker
And I think it's a it's a training, the way you train yourself to think about your value and the way you show up and the way you represent yourself.
00:31:06
Speaker
It's a habit that you form over time.
00:31:10
Speaker
I've had instances even in my industry, I'll use myself as an example, because I can't speak for all women.
00:31:15
Speaker
But where I know what I'm talking about when it comes to watches, right.
00:31:20
Speaker
And
00:31:21
Speaker
And I'll be explaining something to one of my clients who's a man and they will be like, I'm not sure if that's correct.
00:31:30
Speaker
Are you sure?
00:31:30
Speaker
Are you sure about that?
00:31:32
Speaker
Me knowing I'm right.
00:31:34
Speaker
I'm like, maybe am I right?
00:31:38
Speaker
Wait, but his confidence and his thought had me second guessing the way I was thinking about something I knew that I knew.
00:31:45
Speaker
I had a conversation with a young lady and I challenged her on her opinion.
00:31:50
Speaker
And I had a different opinion.
00:31:52
Speaker
So in that process, I was watching her and I was seeing, I was like, she was trying to change.
00:31:58
Speaker
I said, oh, I said, no, no, no, don't do that.
00:32:01
Speaker
Do not change your opinion for my opinion.
00:32:03
Speaker
You're not going to do that.
00:32:04
Speaker
And I think that's when men, some men come in and take advantage of women because they see that.
00:32:09
Speaker
I'm more so like, no, no, no, keep your opinion, stating your truth, right, because you feel that way for a reason.
00:32:18
Speaker
Don't change it because you want me to feel safe and comfortable for what I feel like.
00:32:23
Speaker
No, that's okay.
00:32:25
Speaker
Like, I get it.
00:32:25
Speaker
I respect it.
00:32:26
Speaker
I mean, that's your view of that situation.
00:32:28
Speaker
And I think it might come from, and I could be wrong, but I think
00:32:33
Speaker
innately women are just very nurturing and nurturers and like they get birth right so they're always trying to um i can't say always trying but i feel like they have a something in them that they want to compromise right they don't want or hear you out yeah yeah because they said it and i think the women bringing the male brand name is like women want less confrontation like they don't like confrontation so they're just it's all right we'll figure it out like you know
00:33:00
Speaker
But to any women watching, listening, when you have a strong opinion, don't let a man, don't let a woman, don't let anyone, anyone who has money, fame, don't let no one change how you feel.
00:33:09
Speaker
Like literally, like stand on that.
00:33:11
Speaker
Like stand on that.
00:33:13
Speaker
Because your belief is from your perspective, from your experiences, from what you went through and from what you know.
00:33:20
Speaker
So don't let scripture, don't let a person, don't let even statistics
00:33:26
Speaker
I'm listening to a book by David Rubinstein.
00:33:31
Speaker
The book is called How to Lead.
00:33:33
Speaker
By the way, the CEO of Pepsi is a woman, the CEO of IBM is a woman, and there's a few other in there like they're CEOs.
00:33:40
Speaker
People don't know that, right?
00:33:41
Speaker
These are big, big clients for years.
00:33:45
Speaker
And so there was an episode, there was a guy, Tim Cook, he spoke of Steve Jobs.
00:33:51
Speaker
And he said, was it over, the guy was asking him, was it overwhelming when you got to Apple?
00:33:57
Speaker
He was like, no, it was empowering.
00:33:59
Speaker
He's like, for people to think like this, to be like this, he said, I was happy.
00:34:02
Speaker
He said, the thing about Steve was, you can talk to Steve Jobs about anything, and he will always say it could work.
00:34:11
Speaker
where now he's like, and now industry, there is analysis and statistics that say 99.9% that won't work.
00:34:19
Speaker
And he's like, Steve was never that guy.
00:34:22
Speaker
He always will not always go against the grain, but he believed that you felt dearly about something strong that you could do it.
00:34:29
Speaker
And I try to tell people that I've always been
00:34:32
Speaker
the guy in class, I was a nerd in school.
00:34:34
Speaker
Like I got straight A's, you know, I'm always challenging a teacher like not to be like a dick or asshole who's just like, I don't know, I'm curious, can you break it down in a different way to make that same answer?
00:34:45
Speaker
Oh, you were that guy.
00:34:46
Speaker
Yeah, and I think people are afraid to go against authority or someone who has a title, who has a status because they want to think they're always right.
00:34:54
Speaker
It's like, I'm not always right.
00:34:55
Speaker
You know what I'm saying?
00:34:56
Speaker
We're not always right, we can be wrong.
00:34:59
Speaker
And I think it's important for women and men to like,
00:35:02
Speaker
stand on what you believe and don't just say I'm forget don't worry about it because I've been that person too then you don't get nowhere yes so you know what you know be loud about it be confident about it I think to your point yes women tend to be a little bit more empathic and yeah a little bit more conflict avoiding and we're gonna be sensitive to the other person's feelings so maybe we're like oh I think they're wrong but I'm not gonna let them know here right right now
00:35:29
Speaker
But it's confidence.
00:35:30
Speaker
And I think, again, when we come back, when we circle back to what women's empowerment means, it's being around more women who speak so confidently and who say what they say and know what they know.
00:35:41
Speaker
It's it's attractive.
00:35:43
Speaker
It's contagious.
00:35:44
Speaker
You're going to say, oh, she's confident about what she's saying.
00:35:46
Speaker
I can be confident about what I'm saying, too.
00:35:48
Speaker
So the more you surround yourself with that power and that confidence is going to rub off on you inevitably.
00:35:53
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:35:55
Speaker
And that's important.
00:35:57
Speaker
Another question.
Fostering Inclusivity in Business
00:35:59
Speaker
As far as women from men, what do you think women need from men?
00:36:06
Speaker
In general one, but in the business sector, like what do you think, not that women demand or they will appreciate, always get the word respect, but a lot of times like words, right?
00:36:17
Speaker
We have our own interpretation of what those words mean to us.
00:36:21
Speaker
So respect might look different to you or someone else.
00:36:25
Speaker
But, and I'm not saying that that's your thing, but what do you think women
00:36:29
Speaker
will want or need, you know, from men in business to make things more, you know, not so one way or not so lopsided.
00:36:39
Speaker
It could just be even keel, it could be like, you know, because I think we all got to understand
00:36:45
Speaker
everybody thinks differently everyone doesn't believe rituals and morals and principles but i think listening to people is important for all people and really understanding like listening to the listening you know how someone say hey i like those shoes and you're like oh maybe you want to buy those shoes you know what i mean like you're really listening to listen and not listening to respond so what do you think um i think there's several several ways that men could show up for women in
00:37:15
Speaker
life, but specifically business.
00:37:17
Speaker
And I think one is again, creating space for women.
00:37:24
Speaker
Again, inviting them to the table, getting, I would say if you've noticed that a woman hasn't said her opinion, you could specifically seek it out.
00:37:35
Speaker
Right.
00:37:35
Speaker
So if you're at a boardroom table or you're in a group or you're, you're in some type of scenario where you notice that the female hasn't said anything,
00:37:45
Speaker
first of all, I'd encourage that woman to speak up.
00:37:47
Speaker
But secondly, I would say that to seek out that opinion, hey, what are your thoughts on this?
00:37:52
Speaker
Because she might have a lot of valuable things to say, but felt overpowered in the room and couldn't get her thoughts out and therefore got washed away, but would have had some really dope stuff to add to the conversation.
00:38:03
Speaker
So I'd say like, bringing making space for them, and then intentionally seeking out
00:38:08
Speaker
what their thoughts are on something because men and women think about things so differently again back to male and female brain we interpret things completely different and women have a lot to bring to the table that complement what men are bringing to the table just in a different way so sometimes you if you can seek it out and intentionally make space for that i think that's helpful
00:38:29
Speaker
Yeah, you know, I like that you said that because I've been in several meetings and I'm a watcher.
00:38:36
Speaker
I watch people like body language, eye contact, energy.
00:38:39
Speaker
And I've noticed everybody is speaking.
00:38:42
Speaker
I'll be the one like whoever the woman is in the room.
00:38:45
Speaker
I'm like, what do you think?
00:38:47
Speaker
Yeah.
00:38:48
Speaker
There's a great quote by a woman in the Forbes top 100 and it said the best business advice that she could give anyone is what do you think?
00:38:57
Speaker
Because what do you think is so undervalued because I know what I think, right?
00:39:03
Speaker
But once I can ask you, like, what do you think?
00:39:06
Speaker
Now you're giving me a perspective from your brain on what you think is able, if it is different for me to process what I'm looking at differently.
00:39:15
Speaker
With Wayne Dyer's quote, change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.
00:39:20
Speaker
And that's why women and male feedback and advice is important.
00:39:25
Speaker
Not that it's always right, but it's always good to get a different perspective because then you can wait based on how many there are.
00:39:33
Speaker
But if I'm only getting male perspective, it's like, ah, it's cool, bro, but hold on.
00:39:39
Speaker
Kimmy, what you think?
00:39:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:40
Speaker
I think, ba-ba-ba-ba, wow, you know what?
00:39:44
Speaker
I like that.
00:39:45
Speaker
I didn't even, because if I'm not looking at it like you, how can I even think of it in that way to get the answer, the result I'm looking for?
00:39:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:53
Speaker
You know, it takes two entities, two energies, masculine, feminine.
00:40:00
Speaker
And I just think it's very important.
00:40:03
Speaker
So I got a question.
00:40:06
Speaker
I feel like you're very, you know, educated, motivated.
00:40:14
Speaker
You're very driven, you know, intelligent, you do it all.
00:40:18
Speaker
But I witnessed something on your Instagram that was very appealing.
00:40:27
Speaker
And I was like, she has this side to her, right?
00:40:33
Speaker
So I'm just going to play the video.
00:40:37
Speaker
Oh, shit.
00:40:38
Speaker
And you give me the feedback of what you think.
00:40:42
Speaker
If I'm supposed to meet her and you come at school, that's on you.
00:41:10
Speaker
oh my god yo listen when i saw that i was like hold the heck oh who is this person is this the gemini kicking in and if i lay yes oh my god that right there yo that right there that combination uh in a person wherever male female
00:41:36
Speaker
it's awesome, right?
00:41:37
Speaker
Like you can be motivated, you can be driven, you can be business minded, but then you can be really silly and funny.
00:41:43
Speaker
I think laughter is medicine.
00:41:46
Speaker
I think, you know, what I don't see, maybe it's women to women conversation or togetherness.
00:41:55
Speaker
unless women are just silly and they do memes and stuff, like you don't see that many like silly, goofy, funny women like expressing that or showing that side.
00:42:06
Speaker
But there are multiple women that are probably like that.
00:42:09
Speaker
We just don't know.
00:42:10
Speaker
But I think from a man seeing a woman like that, I think that's attractive because it's like, you know, she's silly like that.
00:42:16
Speaker
And I think
00:42:18
Speaker
That's another way and I might be giving some game right now.
00:42:22
Speaker
That's not a way to track a guy, but that's maybe to get a guy to like open his eyes up more and look at you even different.
00:42:29
Speaker
Like, yo, she had me laughing all day.
00:42:31
Speaker
Like, I want to work with her.
00:42:33
Speaker
I want to do business with her.
00:42:34
Speaker
Oh, I want to date her.
00:42:35
Speaker
You know what I'm saying?
00:42:35
Speaker
Because it's a different side that we don't get to see out a woman from a general perspective.
00:42:40
Speaker
We're just looking, we're going for the looks, the swag, the vibe, right?
00:42:45
Speaker
but we just don't see you just don't see women being goofy and silly like normally like at least i don't so when i was like yo this is good you gotta keep doing these i'm like i'm like from you know for sure she got her versace deal i don't know if you follow her she's winning she's killing it yeah but yeah i think it thank you for that but it's like again it goes back to just
00:43:15
Speaker
being authentic and i think it's hard i don't i want to be so preachy but it is hard like when you're a woman you're trying to present yourself i i've struggled with it too how do i want to represent myself as a woman this day and age you know i'm a professional i want people to take me seriously you know if you're doing real estate or selling watches or doing women's empowerment
00:43:38
Speaker
If you post something goofy, are people not going to take you seriously or they're not going to think that you're smart?
00:43:42
Speaker
If you post a sexy pic, are they going to not take you seriously?
00:43:45
Speaker
They're going to objectify me now.
00:43:46
Speaker
So thank you for saying that.
00:43:49
Speaker
And I think it is just a balancing act of being your authentic self these days.
00:43:57
Speaker
and then but also you have if you've done the work to back up what you're bringing to the table you shouldn't have to worry about how people are going to interpret you like if you know you're smart and you know that you you're a hustler and you you want to post something funny then post something funny if you're sexy and you'll post something sexy post something sexy and you know you're smart it's fine yeah it's all of you at all times do it all do whatever you want be authentic
00:44:23
Speaker
You're authentic.
00:44:23
Speaker
That's right.
00:44:24
Speaker
So yeah, Kimmy, I mean, I guess, you know, that decides, you know, that ends the interview.
00:44:29
Speaker
But what is, what do you have going on?
00:44:32
Speaker

00:45:47
Speaker
You can say no comment.
00:45:48
Speaker
It's fine.
00:45:49
Speaker
But anyway, before we get out here, I just want you to give me like one phrase or one statement or one word that represents empowerment to you for the people watching.
00:45:59
Speaker
We can do it like that.
00:46:01
Speaker
Can I give you an Oprah quote?
00:46:03
Speaker
Of course.
00:46:03
Speaker
I love Oprah.
00:46:05
Speaker
I got this last night.
00:46:06
Speaker
The Lord sent it to me.
00:46:09
Speaker
But she was quoting a book she read and it said, authentic power is when your personality comes to serve the energy of your soul.
00:46:17
Speaker
So whoever you are in the world, how is it serving what you came to do?
00:46:23
Speaker
And that's something I'm taking home.
00:46:26
Speaker
Whoever you are in the world, how is that serving what you came to do?
00:46:30
Speaker
Damn.
00:46:31
Speaker
So good.
00:46:32
Speaker
That makes you think, think.
00:46:34
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:35
Speaker
And I think it ties this conversation up well because if you can show up authentically, make sure your personality is serving your purpose.
00:46:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:46:46
Speaker
To be empowered.
00:46:47
Speaker
Make sure.
00:46:48
Speaker
Hold on.
00:46:48
Speaker
Is that yours?
00:46:49
Speaker
Is that your thing?
00:46:50
Speaker
That's my paraphrase of the quote.
00:46:52
Speaker
Authentic power is when your personality comes to serve the energy of your soul.
00:46:57
Speaker
But what you said prior to that, I think you should put that in your bio.
00:47:01
Speaker
I don't know what you said, but how you said it was so on point.
00:47:04
Speaker
It's like a tagline, a slogan.
00:47:05
Speaker
I'm going to listen back.
00:47:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:47:07
Speaker
Your personality should serve your purpose.
00:47:10
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely.
00:47:11
Speaker
All right, well, Kimmy, thank you for being here.
00:47:12

Speaker
