What if the courage to keep going wasn't about knowing the outcome — but choosing to move forward anyway? The 2019 live-action Aladdin shows us exactly why. Jasmine's refusal to accept the only two options in front of her — and her song "Speechless" — is one of Disney's most underrated portraits of hopeful resilience.

Riley, Caleb, and Hannah — the three siblings behind the Disney podcast Mouse Ears Movie Thoughts — join Ryan this week to share how they built a 160+ episode show starting with one shared microphone and a "why not?" attitude. Their story mirrors Aladdin's own: starting with nothing but your voice and your content, faking it until the quality catches up, and pushing through walls to discover something bigger on the other side.

🎯 3 Actionable Takeaways

  1. Set Goals by Quarter, Not by Capstone – Specific 90-day goals. Broad 5-year vision. Never let a far-out goal cap what's possible.
  2. Write Down Every Milestone with a Date – Track progress so you can see how far you've come. What you measure, you can improve.
  3. Reimagine Your Process When You Hit a Wall – Don't just push harder. Ask "why not?" and build a new pathway. Have a contingency plan before you need one.

This episode covers Jasmine's expanded arc in the live-action Aladdin, the "why not?" philosophy from Disney Imagineering legend Bob Weiss, Simon Sinek on team trust, and a rapid-fire round featuring hot takes on Robin Williams vs. Will Smith as the Genie, favorite Disney villains, and the best food at Disneyland.

Welcome to Yes and Land, where we say yes to

00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.140
the reality of yesterday and today, and we say

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:11.919
and to the possibility, growth, and imagination

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:23.059
of tomorrow. Welcome to Yes and Land. We are

00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:25.489
very excited about our conversation today. We've

00:00:25.489 --> 00:00:28.390
actually got the hosts of another podcast that

00:00:28.390 --> 00:00:31.089
we came across that we think really does a great

00:00:31.089 --> 00:00:33.509
job of putting some great content out there,

00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:38.509
fun, engaging content. And these are the hosts

00:00:38.509 --> 00:00:42.909
of Mouse Ears Movie Thoughts. And these three

00:00:42.909 --> 00:00:46.070
hosts also happen to be siblings, which good

00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:48.030
for them that they were able to start a podcast

00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:50.729
with siblings. So they must get along to some

00:00:50.729 --> 00:00:54.229
degree. So welcome, you guys. Welcome to our

00:00:54.229 --> 00:00:57.729
podcast. Yeah, thanks for having us. Thank you

00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:02.189
for having us. This is amazing. Well, so let's

00:01:02.189 --> 00:01:05.290
start out here real quick. Why don't we start

00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:07.409
out with a quick introduction of each of you?

00:01:07.689 --> 00:01:12.980
So just kind of your name. and what role you

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.680
play in the podcast that you guys do. I know

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.099
obviously all three of you host the podcast,

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.700
but I think that you each kind of have some distinct

00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:23.680
roles or focuses that you have. So names and

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.480
kind of what your role is with the podcast. Well,

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:30.799
my name is Riley, and my role is just kind of

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.180
like the media person. So I am uploading stuff

00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:36.680
to Instagram and YouTube and just trying to really

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.349
get like our name out there and promote us. a

00:01:40.349 --> 00:01:44.569
lot of images and media yeah fantastic uh i'm

00:01:44.569 --> 00:01:48.870
caleb and i'm the editor so i'm pretty self -explanatory

00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:52.590
i just edit all the stuff uh i'll get like audio

00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:54.730
clips and send them to her if she needs them

00:01:54.730 --> 00:01:57.709
for marketing something but that's kind of what

00:01:57.709 --> 00:02:02.370
i do and i'm hannah i really like to say that

00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:04.909
i'm kind of the manager of it i tend to be the

00:02:04.909 --> 00:02:08.500
one planning the meetings and making sure we

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:12.620
have episode ideas i also do the scheduling coordinating

00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.879
all of our schedules and then putting them in

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.240
calendars for everyone to do we're i'm also the

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:26.039
one uh running the website yeah perfect so i

00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.639
mean as as you can tell there's a lot that goes

00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.900
into a podcast and um you know one of the things

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:35.590
that obviously y 'all are doing well is Dividing

00:02:35.590 --> 00:02:38.669
and conquering, setting up yourself for your

00:02:38.669 --> 00:02:40.330
strengths. I'm guessing that you each kind of

00:02:40.330 --> 00:02:42.330
do those things because you've found some degree

00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:45.849
of strength or inclination towards those things

00:02:45.849 --> 00:02:48.270
that you can all kind of maximize what you get

00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:52.870
to do to put on your awesome podcast. So what

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:55.240
we're going to do today. Well, actually, sorry,

00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:56.639
why don't you explain to you what your podcast

00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.259
is? So obviously, I mean, Mouse Deer's Movie

00:02:59.259 --> 00:03:01.879
Thoughts, that might be self -explanatory, but

00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.479
maybe not. So give us a little bit more about

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.759
what exactly your podcast is and what you guys

00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.400
talk about. Yeah, so basically we're a Disney

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.879
podcast, but specifically a Disney movie podcast.

00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.860
We talk all about Disney movies, Pixar movies,

00:03:18.259 --> 00:03:22.419
Marvel movies. pixar theory and easter eggs we

00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:25.219
do movie reviews but then we also like to do

00:03:25.219 --> 00:03:30.639
um like games so trivia and like drafts uh we

00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.439
like to do punishments and rewards with our games

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.599
and we try to keep it really fun um top 10 or

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.879
top 5 rankings where we compare to each other

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.939
and a lot of it is kind of collaborating our

00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:46.550
ideas about different disney movies and debating

00:03:46.550 --> 00:03:48.650
different opinions that we have yeah we even

00:03:48.650 --> 00:03:51.129
do some like themed episodes if it's like near

00:03:51.129 --> 00:03:55.210
Christmas or I don't know any Thanksgiving you

00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:57.270
know stuff like that try to do some theme episodes

00:03:57.270 --> 00:04:01.050
basically we have always loved Disney and we've

00:04:01.050 --> 00:04:02.889
loved talking about Disney with each other and

00:04:02.889 --> 00:04:06.330
so we decided to make it a podcast yeah and it's

00:04:06.330 --> 00:04:10.229
been really really fun and now what started as

00:04:10.229 --> 00:04:12.810
like a passion project has really become even

00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:15.620
more than that And it's something that we look

00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:18.819
forward to every week and something that we're

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.040
really trying to grow and expand, even if we're

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.139
still young siblings. Yeah, and y 'all have been

00:04:26.139 --> 00:04:28.420
doing this for quite a while. Did I get this

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:31.220
right that you're more than 160 episodes in?

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.399
Is that right? Yeah. We've been going since the

00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.459
fall of 22. And of course, we were planning in

00:04:39.459 --> 00:04:42.060
like the summer of that year. Wow. I didn't know

00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:44.100
it had been that long. It's been a while. Yeah.

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.879
That's three and a half, almost four years you've

00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.160
been going. So obviously you're doing something

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.699
right. And that kind of leads us into really

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:57.399
what we're talking about today, which is hopeful

00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.379
resilience. And we're going to be talking about

00:04:59.379 --> 00:05:02.480
that through the lens of Aladdin, but not just

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.329
Aladdin. through the live action Aladdin from

00:05:05.329 --> 00:05:09.689
2019, which was just a gem and a movie that y

00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:12.029
'all selected. So we're going to dive into a

00:05:12.029 --> 00:05:15.970
little bit of why Aladdin and why the live action

00:05:15.970 --> 00:05:20.009
over the original animated movie back in the

00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:23.050
early 90s, long before y 'all were born, but

00:05:23.050 --> 00:05:27.430
was my growing up, was my childhood. And so it's

00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:29.029
going to be really fun for us to dive into that.

00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:33.480
Let's start here. Just in case someone's listening

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.620
to our Disney podcast that doesn't know Aladdin,

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:41.120
which would be wild, but just in case they don't,

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.959
why don't one of you kind of set the stage for

00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:50.100
the overarching story of Aladdin? Well, yeah,

00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:55.459
sure. I mean, Aladdin, to summarize it, it's

00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:58.860
like the story of this... First of Aladdin, the

00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:01.980
main character, who kind of comes from a not

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:04.839
so great background in terms of like royalty

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.800
and like possessions and stuff like that. And

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:09.800
he kind of gets thrown into this interesting

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.680
situation of finding a genie that can make his

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.959
dreams come true. But he kind of has to balance

00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.740
what he truly wants to live with and what he

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:24.000
can obtain. But it might be like fake. It might

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.389
not be actually. real because it's just a wish

00:06:27.389 --> 00:06:30.370
that the genie granted for him but he kind of

00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:32.829
has to balance what is actually valuable in life

00:06:32.829 --> 00:06:36.750
and what's not and then through that you know

00:06:36.750 --> 00:06:40.509
we get all this comedy and we get Jafar trying

00:06:40.509 --> 00:06:44.490
to I mean really stop him and get the genie for

00:06:44.490 --> 00:06:47.990
himself and then Aladdin ends up finding love

00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:50.870
and finding what he really wants in life and

00:06:50.870 --> 00:06:55.589
realizes that the love for Jasmine is more important

00:06:55.589 --> 00:06:58.930
than the wishes themselves and what fake things

00:06:58.930 --> 00:07:02.389
he could have obtained. Yeah. And maybe a note

00:07:02.389 --> 00:07:06.310
on why live action specifically. In this version,

00:07:06.389 --> 00:07:10.649
Jasmine has a bigger role in this hopeful resilience

00:07:10.649 --> 00:07:13.269
topic that we wanted to talk about. And also,

00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:16.490
Riley specifically likes the live action Aladdin

00:07:16.490 --> 00:07:19.769
more than the original. And so we wanted to...

00:07:19.769 --> 00:07:22.129
It ended up being a really great option because

00:07:22.129 --> 00:07:25.379
of Jasmine's... pertinence in it and kind of

00:07:25.379 --> 00:07:28.560
some additions that they added in yeah yeah i

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.240
mean also um aladdin his whole upbringing is

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.399
just like keep keep going keep doing what he

00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.899
knows he has to do and what's right even when

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:42.399
he's not in the best situations Yeah, for sure.

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.519
So Riley, I think you just said that Riley, you're

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.740
the one that preferred the live action version.

00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.379
So we got to dive into why, right? Give us the

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:54.019
breakdown, like defend the live action over the

00:07:54.019 --> 00:07:57.439
classic animated feature. Well, first of all,

00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.519
I think that the soundtrack is better. I mean,

00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:04.639
there's at least one new song in the live action

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.519
than the original. It's Speechless. And I love

00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.519
that song. I think it's great. I think it adds

00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:15.750
to the movie. and I think that I like the live

00:08:15.750 --> 00:08:18.350
action more honestly because it was just like

00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:22.949
more in my time and so I think I just have kind

00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:26.990
of a better nostalgic like relationship with

00:08:26.990 --> 00:08:30.230
it maybe if that makes sense I just like it a

00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:34.830
lot better wow yeah I think what's interesting

00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:37.210
with the additional songs is there's been times

00:08:37.210 --> 00:08:40.070
when certain movies have been done and have additional

00:08:40.070 --> 00:08:43.230
songs that I just felt like they were fillers.

00:08:43.250 --> 00:08:45.610
It felt like the songs were there but didn't

00:08:45.610 --> 00:08:47.509
do a lot for it. But I agree with you, Riley,

00:08:47.610 --> 00:08:50.669
which is in this particular one, Jasmine's additional

00:08:50.669 --> 00:08:54.710
song, I think really brings a bit more heart

00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:57.429
to the story. I think it really expands a bit

00:08:57.429 --> 00:09:00.509
more on the understanding of Jasmine as a character

00:09:00.509 --> 00:09:02.309
and what she's going through and experiencing.

00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:06.429
That's one of the major differences where there

00:09:06.429 --> 00:09:09.070
is something to this live -action version, which

00:09:09.070 --> 00:09:12.090
is seeing more of the character arc and story

00:09:12.090 --> 00:09:15.009
arc of Jasmine, which you get a glimpse of in

00:09:15.009 --> 00:09:16.690
the original animated feature, but really more

00:09:16.690 --> 00:09:19.889
focused on Aladdin and what his journey is. This

00:09:19.889 --> 00:09:22.230
one, it's bringing in Jasmine, and I think it

00:09:22.230 --> 00:09:26.750
adds a layer of complexity that I think is really

00:09:26.750 --> 00:09:29.830
good. I think it just really enhances the story

00:09:29.830 --> 00:09:38.789
overall. Yeah, I agree. Okay, so let's dive back

00:09:38.789 --> 00:09:41.929
in a little bit about y 'all's story. So you're

00:09:41.929 --> 00:09:44.590
three siblings who clearly love Disney, and you

00:09:44.590 --> 00:09:46.070
guys have been passionate about Disney for a

00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:50.909
while. What made you decide to go from just three

00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:53.009
siblings that enjoy Disney, enjoy talking about

00:09:53.009 --> 00:09:57.450
Disney, to actually starting a podcast and putting

00:09:57.450 --> 00:10:00.169
your conversations out there for the public to

00:10:00.169 --> 00:10:05.600
consume? Yeah. Well, I think for a while, each

00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.899
of us separately even wanted to create something

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:13.600
and put it out there, whether it was even just

00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.000
a YouTube channel or a podcast. We kind of just

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.340
wanted to be creative in that way and share that.

00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:24.519
And nothing was really immediately striking for

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.600
any of us. I think we all kind of nothing was

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.700
really filling that as much as we wanted. we

00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:33.360
never got off to a like strong start and then

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.659
eventually we like had an aha moment where we

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:38.980
realized we love we talk about this with each

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:41.000
other every time we watch a disney movie we talk

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.600
about this with each other for sure every week

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.419
at least and why not make that a podcast it would

00:10:47.419 --> 00:10:49.620
be so easy to take our conversations that we

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:52.019
already have and put them onto a podcast yeah

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:54.860
and share that with everyone else we really enjoy

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:59.120
having like passion that imagination and kind

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.539
of a time to free your mind from any real world

00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:07.240
stressors and it's still like good thought work

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.059
and yeah that's something we want to share with

00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:11.379
everyone else yeah I think it just kind of like

00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:13.500
it happened I just remember one day you guys

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:16.320
going like hey what if we just like start a podcast

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.139
on this and I'm like yeah sure can we like I

00:11:19.139 --> 00:11:21.200
guess doesn't cost any money we just need a mic

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.870
and yeah we started out with a single mic On

00:11:25.870 --> 00:11:29.750
a very small table that we all were leaning in

00:11:29.750 --> 00:11:33.309
over and just made it work. And then eventually

00:11:33.309 --> 00:11:35.649
as our passion and like intensity for it grew,

00:11:35.690 --> 00:11:39.389
we each got our own mics. And I mean, yeah, it

00:11:39.389 --> 00:11:41.649
just has really developed and transformed. For

00:11:41.649 --> 00:11:47.090
sure. Which I love. And I think it ties in really

00:11:47.090 --> 00:11:50.909
well to something that Aladdin says at the very

00:11:50.909 --> 00:11:53.629
beginning of the movie. And I'm going to read

00:11:53.629 --> 00:11:56.090
this this quote and get you guys take on it specifically

00:11:56.090 --> 00:11:58.570
as it relates to what you guys did initially.

00:11:58.929 --> 00:12:05.110
So at the very beginning and he's talking about

00:12:05.110 --> 00:12:10.590
being a street rat and he says, if you don't

00:12:10.590 --> 00:12:13.590
have anything, you have to act like you own everything.

00:12:14.769 --> 00:12:18.000
And and so, you know. Talk me through what that

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.960
means to y 'all when you're starting this podcast

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.919
and initially you don't have anything. I mean,

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.679
you've got some ideas, but you actually don't

00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.860
have anything. And what so what did you have

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:28.460
at that point in time? What were you betting

00:12:28.460 --> 00:12:33.120
on that you could build to put out there? Yeah,

00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:36.039
I mean, I think that that quote really hits home

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.820
for us in our podcast, especially in the beginning,

00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.159
because like like you were just saying, we don't

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.259
really have anything, especially when you first

00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:48.490
start. and but the one thing you do have is your

00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:50.490
voice and your content and what you're going

00:12:50.490 --> 00:12:53.269
to talk about and I think that is really what

00:12:53.269 --> 00:12:55.809
we focused on of like as long as we can have

00:12:55.809 --> 00:13:00.149
good um good discussions good content and we

00:13:00.149 --> 00:13:03.210
can just talk and I think that really helps having

00:13:03.210 --> 00:13:06.210
three siblings is we have three different opinions

00:13:06.210 --> 00:13:08.950
and we're very close so we can bounce off one

00:13:08.950 --> 00:13:12.529
another and like really do like a deep dive while

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.879
adding some laughter and fun into the mix so

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.080
i would say focusing on the content itself and

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.500
then you know the the mic and the softwares and

00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:26.320
like everything builds around that but if we

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.360
didn't really have anything good to talk about

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.899
it wouldn't really matter yeah a little bit of

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:34.799
our beginning days was like make it till you

00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.820
make it like we don't have anything else but

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:40.840
we have ideas and so we're gonna pretend like

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.980
our quality is our like our mic quality is good

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:47.240
when it was it was so hard to work with we're

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.440
gonna edit things like the night before because

00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.559
we're having problems every time but it's still

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.320
coming out like no one has to know and then eventually

00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.220
we're not faking it anymore we understand what

00:13:58.220 --> 00:14:00.480
we're doing we get a week out we know what's

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.240
expected of us yeah because then before you know

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.350
it it's just the truth like once you're getting

00:14:06.350 --> 00:14:09.330
consistent like consistent downloads then you're

00:14:09.330 --> 00:14:10.970
just going to grow bigger and then we were able

00:14:10.970 --> 00:14:13.409
to get more mics and now we never looked like

00:14:13.409 --> 00:14:16.129
we were struggling because now we aren't struggling

00:14:16.129 --> 00:14:19.230
it's almost funny to look back and think of those

00:14:19.230 --> 00:14:21.690
days where i mean we keep looking over there

00:14:21.690 --> 00:14:23.389
because the one mic is sitting in the corner

00:14:23.389 --> 00:14:27.990
and rejected now but yeah it's just insane to

00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:30.929
think of where we started with one mic we we

00:14:30.929 --> 00:14:33.740
really had nothing else like this It's kind of

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:35.360
like you have nothing else. All you have is,

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:37.120
yeah. It's kind of like a fake it till you make

00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.620
it type of situation. And I mean, don't get me

00:14:39.620 --> 00:14:42.179
wrong. You can definitely like hear the difference.

00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:45.340
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Throughout the podcast. But

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:48.039
I mean, even when I remember way back when we

00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.480
were recording our first episodes and we were

00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.639
trying to figure out how long should we make

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.559
this. And we expected to be like a 20 minute

00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.879
conversation or something. And then we ramble

00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.269
on for like 45 minutes and like. we don't realize

00:15:01.269 --> 00:15:03.730
how much we have to talk about an offer until

00:15:03.730 --> 00:15:09.029
we hit record yeah yeah i think that's one of

00:15:09.029 --> 00:15:11.549
the keys for for people and you know what i think

00:15:11.549 --> 00:15:13.230
what people listening can take away from that

00:15:13.230 --> 00:15:17.370
is that it's okay to just start you know y 'all

00:15:17.370 --> 00:15:20.629
believed in what you could do and one of the

00:15:20.629 --> 00:15:22.450
things i really heard too that that i think is

00:15:22.450 --> 00:15:23.750
really important is that you also were just going

00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:26.149
to have fun like you weren't taking yourselves

00:15:26.149 --> 00:15:29.279
too seriously you weren't And it sounds like

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.059
you hopefully weren't overthinking it as well,

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:32.559
that you're just getting into it like, hey, we

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.019
have fun conversations. We enjoy it. We feel

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:36.840
like we have something good we can put out there.

00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:40.059
So we're just going to do it. And when you when

00:15:40.059 --> 00:15:43.299
you're willing to take those steps, then, yeah,

00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:45.879
you're going to stumble along the way, but you

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.679
can learn from it. And, you know, it's it's then

00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.720
you don't have any regrets of not taking that

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.840
opportunity to try. And then as you go, like

00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.570
you said, now suddenly you've. Your quality is

00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:00.669
going up. You're suddenly discovering what your

00:16:00.669 --> 00:16:02.629
voices are. You're discovering that you actually

00:16:02.629 --> 00:16:05.549
have more to say than maybe you even initially

00:16:05.549 --> 00:16:08.149
thought. And none of that discovery would have

00:16:08.149 --> 00:16:10.230
happened if you hadn't been willing to say, hey,

00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:11.870
look, maybe we don't have anything right now,

00:16:11.970 --> 00:16:14.509
but we think we do. And we're going to build

00:16:14.509 --> 00:16:16.669
towards it. So one of the things I wanted to

00:16:16.669 --> 00:16:19.649
ask you about that I heard in some of the prep

00:16:19.649 --> 00:16:23.149
that we did, which is that you had numerous difficulties

00:16:23.149 --> 00:16:27.230
and setbacks along the way. And so maybe talk

00:16:27.230 --> 00:16:29.429
to us a little bit about like, what were some

00:16:29.429 --> 00:16:31.570
of those setbacks? What were some of those difficulties

00:16:31.570 --> 00:16:35.250
that you had along the way? Who wants to start?

00:16:36.429 --> 00:16:39.830
Start. I think in each of our areas of expertise,

00:16:39.970 --> 00:16:44.210
we probably had different setbacks. So for, oh

00:16:44.210 --> 00:16:47.809
boy. So I guess I'll go with, I'll leave editing

00:16:47.809 --> 00:16:49.590
for Caleb because that's a whole different one.

00:16:49.669 --> 00:16:53.289
That is. I guess for me, one of the biggest ones

00:16:53.289 --> 00:16:57.309
we've come into. one of our first biggest problems

00:16:57.309 --> 00:16:59.769
was running out of our initial episode ideas

00:16:59.769 --> 00:17:03.610
we didn't know we didn't realize how often we

00:17:03.610 --> 00:17:05.650
were going to be recording and how much we would

00:17:05.650 --> 00:17:08.569
have to say and once we kind of ran out of those

00:17:08.569 --> 00:17:11.509
initial I don't know it was maybe about a year

00:17:11.509 --> 00:17:16.009
of ideas we really had to like rethink reimagine

00:17:16.009 --> 00:17:18.589
what we were going to be doing what was the real

00:17:18.589 --> 00:17:21.410
like purpose of this podcast what did we want

00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:25.299
to talk about and that did a lot we did I would

00:17:25.299 --> 00:17:27.680
say that was one of the biggest leaps forward

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.019
for our podcast. That was when we introduced

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:33.180
Marvel, decided we were going to have more of

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:38.440
a complete Disney picture. And that was really

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.900
like a springboard that made us into the podcast

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:47.460
that we have today. Because it was almost like

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:49.680
we were limiting ourselves without even realizing

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.319
it. And it took us hitting that wall of... We

00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.519
don't know what we're recording today. Like,

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:58.779
we don't have something to put out in two days.

00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.980
So it really took a couple months, maybe, of

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:07.380
struggle before we freed up our minds. And it's

00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:09.619
so much easier for us to come up with conversation

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:14.039
topics and everything else. Yeah, for sure. I

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.920
would say for the editing point of view, at least

00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.920
for me, it was just learning how to edit. I mean,

00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:25.130
I've never, like... taken a audio editing class

00:18:25.130 --> 00:18:29.109
or anything so like just watching a lot of videos

00:18:29.109 --> 00:18:33.789
and editing a lot of episodes and then you know

00:18:33.789 --> 00:18:36.890
as you get higher up it's like well hey what

00:18:36.890 --> 00:18:39.529
if we have like some like we create a little

00:18:39.529 --> 00:18:42.410
intro music little outro and then it's like well

00:18:42.410 --> 00:18:44.869
hey what if we like cut out that part and add

00:18:44.869 --> 00:18:47.190
in like a little background music or something

00:18:47.190 --> 00:18:51.380
and like over time it builds and builds and Yeah,

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.039
I would say it was a big setback, a big struggle

00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:57.019
at the beginning of like, I don't even know what

00:18:57.019 --> 00:19:01.279
app to use. I don't know how to edit this. But

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.740
then it kind of builds over time. And I would

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:06.420
say another thing for you would be the scheduling.

00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.279
Yeah, that was the other thing I was going to

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.160
say. Having three of us makes it very difficult

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.460
at times to set up. Yeah, three people who are

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:17.519
teenagers and have sports and school. It's almost

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.359
harder to plan. I guess this is our opinion,

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.559
but because we don't have regular work hours,

00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:29.519
there is almost never a time that is, like, completely,

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:31.920
everyone is guaranteed to be free every week.

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:34.720
So that was hard to find a guaranteed reporting

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.359
time. And a huge setback was when you went to

00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.079
college. That would be the other one I was going

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:40.940
to say. We had to figure out, okay, when is she

00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:43.759
coming home? Okay, we got to record now. But

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:45.140
then we also need to figure out when to edit.

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:47.619
And then, like, we just had to get that routine.

00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.019
We... Do you want to go? Well, I was going to

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:54.940
say a big thing that we like learn, if not learn,

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:59.579
like started doing after that was pre -recording

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:02.940
a bunch of stuff. And then I can just edit it

00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:05.500
whenever and set it to upload on a certain day

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:08.079
at a certain time. So we don't have to be confined

00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.920
to doing the same like routine every week so

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.440
that something comes out. But like if someone

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.799
has to go on a vacation for school or something

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.470
like that. then we have an option now where we

00:20:20.470 --> 00:20:23.329
can still make that work. Yeah. And so much of

00:20:23.329 --> 00:20:26.089
this is like, we didn't even realize, like with

00:20:26.089 --> 00:20:28.089
Caleb, when the editing, we didn't realize what

00:20:28.089 --> 00:20:30.309
editing software we had. And so we like had to

00:20:30.309 --> 00:20:32.069
discover what we had. We didn't know how many

00:20:32.069 --> 00:20:34.250
ideas we had. So we had to force ourselves to

00:20:34.250 --> 00:20:37.690
find them. We didn't even realize that we were

00:20:37.690 --> 00:20:39.670
still going to be doing the podcast by the time

00:20:39.670 --> 00:20:43.150
I went to college. And so that was a whole other

00:20:43.150 --> 00:20:46.130
thing of like, we're at this point and we didn't

00:20:46.130 --> 00:20:48.400
think we would even still be going. But we want

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.599
to keep going. Before we jump back in, can I

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.180
ask you a quick favor? If you're enjoying the

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:57.640
journey so far, will you like, rate, and subscribe

00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:00.579
to our show? It helps us reach more people like

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:04.019
you. We can design and create and build the most

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:06.880
wonderful place in the world, but it takes people

00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.380
to make the dream a reality. Jumping back into

00:21:11.380 --> 00:21:15.390
kind of where we were. One of the things that

00:21:15.390 --> 00:21:17.690
I wanted to ask you all about when it comes to,

00:21:17.769 --> 00:21:20.410
you know, when you're starting something new,

00:21:20.450 --> 00:21:24.750
especially creatively, professionally, is I'm

00:21:24.750 --> 00:21:26.289
going to bring you to another quote from Aladdin.

00:21:26.490 --> 00:21:28.930
And this is a quote from the genie. And he's

00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:33.509
talking to Aladdin and he says, I made you look

00:21:33.509 --> 00:21:36.170
like a prince on the outside, but I didn't change

00:21:36.170 --> 00:21:39.730
anything on the inside. Prince Ali got you to

00:21:39.730 --> 00:21:43.619
the door, but Aladdin asked to open it. So I

00:21:43.619 --> 00:21:45.779
want to get your guys' take on that when we're

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:48.599
talking about this idea of hopeful resilience

00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.480
and when you're starting out with something and

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.279
just having to take a step and a stab at it,

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.579
even when maybe you don't have it fully developed

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:59.400
or don't yet have the confidence to accomplish

00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:05.500
something. That's a really good quote. And I

00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:07.700
think that is very much true, like kind of with

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:10.190
our podcast, like you can. keep on putting out

00:22:10.190 --> 00:22:11.930
episodes, especially in the beginning and everything.

00:22:12.269 --> 00:22:14.670
But there does come to a point where if you want

00:22:14.670 --> 00:22:17.849
it to get more, you have to do more. And so that's

00:22:17.849 --> 00:22:20.210
why we started media and, you know, really putting

00:22:20.210 --> 00:22:22.170
a lot more effort into our editing and stuff.

00:22:22.910 --> 00:22:24.809
Yeah, I think with anything that you're trying

00:22:24.809 --> 00:22:27.950
to do, it's really easy to get started and like,

00:22:27.990 --> 00:22:30.910
you know, make the goals and all these things.

00:22:31.009 --> 00:22:34.150
But I think it's really hard to consistently

00:22:34.150 --> 00:22:36.750
keep it going or like Riley was saying, grow

00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:40.160
and like strive to do better. And I think there's

00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:41.940
a lot of things where it can, like the quote

00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:45.140
was saying, get you through the door. But I mean,

00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:47.799
eventually you kind of got to push hard and make

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.160
it happen yourself. You can't expect it to just

00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.559
work out for you. You have to put in the effort

00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.619
because nothing comes just easily. Yeah. The

00:22:56.619 --> 00:23:00.579
hope for resilience ties in of like, you need

00:23:00.579 --> 00:23:06.329
to get your immediate. enthusiasm and joy can't

00:23:06.329 --> 00:23:08.190
get you everywhere and you really need to sit

00:23:08.190 --> 00:23:11.190
down and sit with yourself sit with your friends

00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:13.829
your siblings your colleagues yes your colleagues

00:23:13.829 --> 00:23:17.950
to work out how you're going to move forward

00:23:17.950 --> 00:23:20.529
and you can't just give up at that whatever you

00:23:20.529 --> 00:23:22.809
did that got you to the door is good but you

00:23:22.809 --> 00:23:25.250
need to develop almost a new skill set to be

00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:28.569
able to get through that door yeah i think that's

00:23:28.569 --> 00:23:31.049
exactly right there's another quote it's a quote

00:23:31.049 --> 00:23:34.880
from mel robbins She's an author and she's got

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.240
a really popular podcast. And she said something

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.299
that I think is exactly in line with this. She

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:42.299
said, life is gritty and hard. And then suddenly

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:45.519
it is brilliant and amazing. I just love that

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.180
because there's times where it's just hard. You

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:49.920
know, you're just pushing through. You're finding

00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.119
a way to push through. And if you continue to

00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:55.279
do so, especially if it's something that you

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.140
believe in. That you'll suddenly turn around

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:59.960
and be like, wait a second, I'm actually doing

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:02.279
something really great. I'm doing something really

00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:05.319
brilliant. And it's really fulfilling. And I

00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:10.799
really love it. And if you stop too soon, you

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.039
don't get to that point. If you give up too early,

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:17.220
you don't push through that grittiness and the

00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:20.440
difficulty. You never find that brilliance and

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:23.869
that amazing that's sometimes just. just around

00:24:23.869 --> 00:24:27.250
the corner. Uh, it will only push through. So,

00:24:27.369 --> 00:24:29.250
okay. So one of the things I wanted to get your

00:24:29.250 --> 00:24:31.289
take on as well as is, I think it was rather

00:24:31.289 --> 00:24:32.529
that you brought it up at the beginning, which

00:24:32.529 --> 00:24:34.349
is this idea of hopeful resilience, especially

00:24:34.349 --> 00:24:38.369
when it comes to Jasmine and the, the nuanced

00:24:38.369 --> 00:24:40.769
difference here at the live action versus the

00:24:40.769 --> 00:24:42.869
animated. So maybe talk to us a little bit about

00:24:42.869 --> 00:24:46.170
what, what did you think of when, when you thought

00:24:46.170 --> 00:24:47.609
about this topic and y 'all came up with this

00:24:47.609 --> 00:24:51.509
topic and you thought about Jasmine? I think

00:24:51.509 --> 00:24:54.309
that you can see, especially in the live action,

00:24:54.390 --> 00:24:58.349
you can see just like kind of her life and kind

00:24:58.349 --> 00:25:00.049
of like, I don't know, her personality, maybe

00:25:00.049 --> 00:25:02.650
a lot more, especially with the song Speechless

00:25:02.650 --> 00:25:05.890
in the live action. And I think you can just

00:25:05.890 --> 00:25:10.650
see how like her dad and there's her royal family

00:25:10.650 --> 00:25:12.529
and everything. And there's that she has to choose

00:25:12.529 --> 00:25:15.490
between them, but then also Aladdin and like

00:25:15.490 --> 00:25:18.369
this completely different world. And so you can

00:25:18.369 --> 00:25:21.480
just. really tell like a lot more into her life

00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.539
and how she has to pursue what she really wants

00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:28.920
to do yeah and i think uh in the movie when she

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.440
keeps you know rejecting these princes who are

00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.819
coming from all these other lands and you know

00:25:35.819 --> 00:25:39.200
she's saying no to them knowing that eventually

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:41.940
she either has to marry one of them or she's

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:44.880
just going to be living you know in the castle

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.740
her entire life And so she's rejecting them knowing

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:51.240
that she doesn't know what's going to happen

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.640
in the future. And I think that is kind of the

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:58.240
essence of hopeful resilience is keeping going

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:01.200
on what you are trying to do, even though you

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.700
may not know if the outcome is even possible.

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.039
And then the live action ties into she goes out

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:08.920
and gets it herself. And I think that's the whole

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.180
point of Speechless, her song. It's like she

00:26:12.180 --> 00:26:14.420
believes in what she's doing and she goes and

00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:17.900
gets it. Yeah. Nothing's ever going to come or

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:20.779
be something if you don't work hard for it or

00:26:20.779 --> 00:26:26.200
get it yourself. Yeah, this reminds me of a quote

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:28.619
as well that I'd written down. This is from a

00:26:28.619 --> 00:26:32.119
guy named Daniel Pink. And he's another author,

00:26:32.259 --> 00:26:35.200
public speaker, kind of thought leader out there.

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:39.980
And he has this quote, says, asking why can lead

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:44.019
to understanding. Asking why not can lead to

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:47.160
breakthroughs. And I was recently having a conversation

00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:50.099
with Bob Weiss, who is the former president of

00:26:50.099 --> 00:26:52.339
Walt Disney Imagineering. And I asked him what

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:55.480
his personal why was. And he said, it's why not?

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:58.140
And that was kind of his approach and the creative

00:26:58.140 --> 00:27:01.039
endeavors. I mean, he's worked on every Disney

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:04.200
theme park there is. He headed up a Disney Shanghai,

00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:06.880
a Disney Tokyo Sea and worked on all the others

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.619
as well. And I love this idea of why not? And

00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:12.579
I think that's in part what you're kind of describing

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:15.769
here with Jasmine is. And it's, okay, why do

00:27:15.769 --> 00:27:17.470
I have to go meet with these princes? Why do

00:27:17.470 --> 00:27:19.769
I have – we have to have this law in place that

00:27:19.769 --> 00:27:21.930
requires me to marry a prince. Why do I have

00:27:21.930 --> 00:27:23.529
to do these things? And then suddenly she starts

00:27:23.529 --> 00:27:25.750
asking herself, why not? Why can't I do it different?

00:27:26.230 --> 00:27:29.250
Why can't I do something different? Why can't

00:27:29.250 --> 00:27:32.589
I be the one that breaks this trend of having

00:27:32.589 --> 00:27:35.109
to follow this ridiculous rule that's in place?

00:27:35.369 --> 00:27:38.569
And when she does, then suddenly it opens up

00:27:38.569 --> 00:27:41.890
a world of possibilities for her on things that

00:27:41.890 --> 00:27:44.680
– maybe others would have assumed wasn't possible.

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:49.200
What do y 'all think about that? Yeah, I think

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:53.839
a lot of our podcast has been, why not? Why we

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.079
have an idea and we think, oh, well, that's just

00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.480
an idea. That's just something to throw out there.

00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:03.000
I really think, why not? Why don't we add YouTube

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:06.200
or Instagram? Why don't we add a website? Why

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:09.440
don't we include mini episodes, which are just

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:13.420
10 to 15 minute episodes? and I think it's just

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:15.839
so helpful we we notice a problem and we think

00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.559
gosh it would be so nice if we could solve this

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.220
problem just by doing this and well why not do

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:25.759
that like I think I think that a lot of people

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:27.559
when they like think about I don't know doing

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.519
something new or you know you get into a routine

00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:35.150
and then they try to overthink that and go like

00:28:35.150 --> 00:28:37.190
oh but then you know there's all this and this

00:28:37.190 --> 00:28:39.849
and that that comes with doing that but like

00:28:39.849 --> 00:28:44.450
just why not just do it like why not yeah and

00:28:44.450 --> 00:28:47.130
you you don't need to necessarily jump into whatever

00:28:47.130 --> 00:28:51.029
you want to do and expect yourself to be professional

00:28:51.029 --> 00:28:54.450
at it immediately but i mean jasmine i don't

00:28:54.450 --> 00:28:57.769
think knew that eventually this magic guy would

00:28:57.769 --> 00:29:00.009
come along or that her dad would change the law

00:29:00.009 --> 00:29:03.500
but like you know she says no she rejects it

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:06.859
she knows what she knows is right and what she

00:29:06.859 --> 00:29:09.700
wants to do even when she doesn't necessarily

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:13.220
know what might come of it yeah she kind of sees

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:16.660
this third option of well i have to either say

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:20.440
like yes or i'm just doomed forever like eventually

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.640
i need to or else the legacy of the kingdom is

00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.740
never gonna keep going but she kind of sees of

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:28.380
well there is a third option it's just not easy

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:32.140
it's going to be hard no one is going to appreciate

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:35.500
this decision that i'm making but it is still

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:37.900
there and that's one of the hardest things about

00:29:37.900 --> 00:29:43.900
going through with difficult process is realizing

00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:48.000
those third options and taking advantage of them

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.619
yeah and like nowadays things that people think

00:29:51.619 --> 00:29:54.559
are just everyday conventional things at some

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:59.809
point someone had to think why not Why don't

00:29:59.809 --> 00:30:02.970
we have whatever the thing might be? And then

00:30:02.970 --> 00:30:04.750
someone went out and made it and now it's normal.

00:30:04.950 --> 00:30:11.569
So I'm like, gotta go do it. Yeah, I think that's

00:30:11.569 --> 00:30:14.329
right. I mean, I think so many people can adopt

00:30:14.329 --> 00:30:17.190
that more in their lives, learning the lessons

00:30:17.190 --> 00:30:21.049
from Jasmine or from Aladdin, from the story

00:30:21.049 --> 00:30:22.410
that you guys have. And that's one of the great

00:30:22.410 --> 00:30:25.970
things about Disney movies and storytelling is

00:30:25.970 --> 00:30:28.880
it helps open our eyes. for the things in our

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:33.500
lives if if more people who have let self -doubt

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:38.099
and fear hold them back suddenly changed their

00:30:38.099 --> 00:30:43.059
mindset to say why not to try something different

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:45.579
to try something new or to go out for that promotion

00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:49.619
or try that new side hustle or try that new venture

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:54.240
or start their own podcast then suddenly What

00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.640
we start to do is we start to build something

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.759
much more fulfilling in our life. And, you know,

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:02.059
one of the things I was thinking about with this,

00:31:02.099 --> 00:31:04.539
especially with the three of you together, is

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:08.539
doing it as a team. You know, certainly Jasmine

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:13.460
had to have that self -belief to try to do something

00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:16.900
different and more. And also she needed... kind

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:19.920
of a team around her, right? Those around who

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:24.500
did believe in her so that she could accomplish

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:26.940
something different and better. And there's a

00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:29.140
quote from one of my favorite people, Simon Sinek,

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:31.819
and he said, leaps of greatness require the combined

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:34.500
problem -solving ability of people who trust

00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:37.220
each other. So I wonder if you can comment on

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:39.700
that about the trust that the three of you have

00:31:39.700 --> 00:31:42.220
had to have with each other, even if you have

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:44.500
disagreements, even if you've had things that

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:47.740
are difficult that have allowed you to continue

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:51.720
creating this podcast, continue putting it out,

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:53.640
continue improving it and making it something

00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:55.779
really great. What does that look like? How have

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:57.880
you built that trust? How have you fostered that

00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.259
trust and work together? Yeah, I think that's

00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:03.579
something that I mean, Simon Sinek, I've heard

00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:07.480
a lot of his videos and whatnot in my in college.

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:10.660
And I think it is something that we've had to

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:14.460
implement a lot, especially in my like role as

00:32:14.460 --> 00:32:17.920
manager of kind of organizing things, getting

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.819
people together. It takes a lot of it's hard

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:24.319
to find a balance sometimes of trusting your

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.660
teammates. Yeah, I mean, trusting Caleb, he's

00:32:26.660 --> 00:32:29.220
gonna edit trusting Riley that she's gonna post.

00:32:29.869 --> 00:32:32.289
Trusting me that I'm going to let them know what

00:32:32.289 --> 00:32:35.710
they're doing before the day of, it takes a lot

00:32:35.710 --> 00:32:37.730
of trust. And I think that's been something that

00:32:37.730 --> 00:32:40.829
we've navigated throughout the years is finding

00:32:40.829 --> 00:32:47.130
that balance between each other. Yeah, I think

00:32:47.130 --> 00:32:50.369
that that is pretty much big. I mean, she basically

00:32:50.369 --> 00:32:53.839
stole the words out of my mouth. like you said

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.240
it is it's hard because you want to like like

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:58.500
say Caleb I want to like oh remind him okay you

00:32:58.500 --> 00:33:00.519
got to edit today you know we're uploading tomorrow

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:03.480
but I need to trust that like okay he he got

00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:05.380
he's got that done you know like he's got my

00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:08.680
back and he has to trust that I'm you know uploading

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:11.640
consistently to media and then I have to trust

00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.160
Hannah that you know she's getting our website

00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:18.839
done and everything there's just so much to trust

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:21.980
and specifically with me and Riley you just reminded

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:25.480
me of this um I will when I'm editing I will

00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:29.680
find like time stamps and like audio like clips

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:33.279
snippets where we can post them and it'll we

00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:34.940
have like little audiograms that we'll put up

00:33:34.940 --> 00:33:38.579
of like clips of our podcast and I will just

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:41.700
go in and put the time stamp in like a note for

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:44.589
Riley to see And she has to trust that I'll find

00:33:44.589 --> 00:33:46.569
it and put it in there. But then I also have

00:33:46.569 --> 00:33:49.170
to trust that she'll make sure that she sees

00:33:49.170 --> 00:33:51.769
that and goes and puts it up. And sometimes we

00:33:51.769 --> 00:33:54.089
don't even have to tell each other that it's

00:33:54.089 --> 00:33:56.829
there. It's just kind of a consistent routine

00:33:56.829 --> 00:33:58.890
that we trust. As long as everyone's doing our

00:33:58.890 --> 00:34:01.849
job, everything's run smoothly. And part of that

00:34:01.849 --> 00:34:05.069
comes from reliance on each other. You kind of

00:34:05.069 --> 00:34:09.570
develop a trust because you're... You have to

00:34:09.570 --> 00:34:11.750
put in work yourself because you know that two

00:34:11.750 --> 00:34:14.130
other people are depending on you and that they're

00:34:14.130 --> 00:34:17.010
going to be expecting results at the end of the

00:34:17.010 --> 00:34:20.929
week. And so it's a way of external motivation,

00:34:20.929 --> 00:34:23.349
but really from yourself too, because you don't

00:34:23.349 --> 00:34:25.250
want to let down your teammates and you really

00:34:25.250 --> 00:34:28.550
don't want to let down your siblings. Yeah, and

00:34:28.550 --> 00:34:34.550
I think part of that is when you have clear goals,

00:34:34.730 --> 00:34:38.699
clear responsibilities, and the team functions

00:34:38.699 --> 00:34:43.500
through that clarity, then the trust comes a

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:45.579
little bit easier because then it is clear, okay,

00:34:45.699 --> 00:34:50.260
hey, you know, here, this is when the episode

00:34:50.260 --> 00:34:52.199
comes. This is when it's edited. This is when

00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.460
we need to have it. This is when it needs to

00:34:54.460 --> 00:34:55.780
be uploaded. These are the steps that need to

00:34:55.780 --> 00:34:57.500
be taken. And you can apply that to any project

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:59.559
that any team has, you know, in any industry.

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.059
Whereas if you have clearly defined roles and

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:05.860
it's clear about what is expected, then, then,

00:35:06.409 --> 00:35:08.570
It's clear that the things need to happen. And

00:35:08.570 --> 00:35:10.449
you do, you have that trust with each other because

00:35:10.449 --> 00:35:13.530
it's clear. And you also, exactly like you said,

00:35:13.570 --> 00:35:15.530
you don't want to let down the rest of your team.

00:35:15.570 --> 00:35:17.869
You know what your job is. And you know that

00:35:17.869 --> 00:35:19.530
in order for somebody else to complete their

00:35:19.530 --> 00:35:21.989
job and their portion to bring this greatness

00:35:21.989 --> 00:35:24.679
and this magic to the table. you have to do your

00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.800
things on the time that you committed um and

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.400
so that you don't let them down and and that

00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:33.099
becomes a really helpful way for a team to build

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:35.159
that trust is because you do you like you want

00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:36.500
to support each other you want to make sure you

00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:38.159
empower the other people on your team to be able

00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:40.000
to be successful as well and that requires you

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:42.780
to do everything that you can do and that you

00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:45.800
need to do um one more quote i want to take you

00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.699
to before we hit some fun segments here is That's

00:35:49.699 --> 00:35:51.519
a quote from Jasmine since one of our big topic

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:53.119
series, Jasmine, and something that she said

00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.300
really stuck out. And she said, our greatest

00:35:57.300 --> 00:36:00.119
challenge isn't speaking up against our enemies,

00:36:00.219 --> 00:36:04.659
but defying those whose approval we seek the

00:36:04.659 --> 00:36:06.920
most. Isn't that interesting? Let me read it

00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:09.860
one more time. Our greatest challenge isn't speaking

00:36:09.860 --> 00:36:13.139
up against our enemies, but defying those whose

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:17.340
approval we seek the most. Let's get your take

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:21.130
on that. yeah I mean I think it's a lot easier

00:36:21.130 --> 00:36:24.849
to to speak up and talk to someone who I mean

00:36:24.849 --> 00:36:26.650
if you're being honest you might not care what

00:36:26.650 --> 00:36:29.050
they have to say about you or what you say to

00:36:29.050 --> 00:36:31.849
them because like you know you if you disagree

00:36:31.849 --> 00:36:35.449
you obviously aren't the the best of friends

00:36:35.449 --> 00:36:38.809
I would imagine but you probably it's a lot easier

00:36:38.809 --> 00:36:41.429
to talk to people and stand up to them when you

00:36:41.429 --> 00:36:46.409
don't care what they think of you yeah when that's

00:36:46.409 --> 00:36:50.170
something that we've had to work I think that

00:36:50.170 --> 00:36:52.070
we've built really well actually over the years

00:36:52.070 --> 00:36:55.409
when we have discussions about okay it's time

00:36:55.409 --> 00:36:57.050
we gotta make episode ideas or something like

00:36:57.050 --> 00:37:00.030
that and we have to like present these things

00:37:00.030 --> 00:37:04.849
to each other over every month or so and it's

00:37:04.849 --> 00:37:08.769
it's hard but you do need to stand up of I don't

00:37:08.769 --> 00:37:10.150
think this is gonna work I don't think we're

00:37:10.150 --> 00:37:12.449
gonna be able to have 30 minutes of conversation

00:37:12.449 --> 00:37:15.809
or if someone has an episode or an idea for the

00:37:15.809 --> 00:37:20.550
podcast itself even it's a lot of give and take

00:37:20.550 --> 00:37:23.349
and there's reminds me of another movie quote

00:37:23.349 --> 00:37:28.070
but um in harry potter the quote of it's takes

00:37:28.070 --> 00:37:30.309
a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies

00:37:30.309 --> 00:37:32.349
but a great deal more courage to stand up to

00:37:32.349 --> 00:37:35.409
your friends and i think that is something that

00:37:35.409 --> 00:37:37.949
we've really strengthened i would say that yeah

00:37:37.949 --> 00:37:40.550
i think it's hard because you You care what they

00:37:40.550 --> 00:37:42.250
think, you know? Like, you want them to like

00:37:42.250 --> 00:37:44.650
your idea. I'll be honest, a lot of the episode

00:37:44.650 --> 00:37:47.050
ideas I throw out there, they get shut down.

00:37:47.570 --> 00:37:49.889
I don't know about that one. I think so, but

00:37:49.889 --> 00:37:52.469
just because, like, you can't talk about them

00:37:52.469 --> 00:37:55.210
for that long, you know? Yeah. Like, oh, sure,

00:37:55.269 --> 00:37:56.489
yeah, we can talk about that right now for five

00:37:56.489 --> 00:37:58.610
minutes, but you can't turn it into a full episode.

00:37:59.030 --> 00:38:01.250
But we can make a mini. And so I think a lot

00:38:01.250 --> 00:38:05.190
of that is negotiation and compromise and, I

00:38:05.190 --> 00:38:06.809
don't know, I think a lot of working with each

00:38:06.809 --> 00:38:10.050
other and being honest. You need honesty if you're

00:38:10.050 --> 00:38:12.309
going to be a part of a team. You do. And I would

00:38:12.309 --> 00:38:15.130
say whether you're the one saying something that

00:38:15.130 --> 00:38:18.750
someone else is saying back at you or if you're

00:38:18.750 --> 00:38:22.110
the one who's commenting on the original thought,

00:38:22.230 --> 00:38:24.829
I think you have to be open to the other person

00:38:24.829 --> 00:38:27.789
might just disagree with you. And you have to

00:38:27.789 --> 00:38:30.710
be open to the fact that you guys don't have

00:38:30.710 --> 00:38:33.610
to completely agree and you can still come to

00:38:33.610 --> 00:38:36.110
a conclusion that's for the betterment of the

00:38:36.110 --> 00:38:38.730
whole system itself. That is something we really

00:38:38.730 --> 00:38:41.789
enjoy doing on episodes itself. We just had an

00:38:41.789 --> 00:38:44.809
episode about live action remake and it was a

00:38:44.809 --> 00:38:48.369
debate between Caleb and Riley because they have

00:38:48.369 --> 00:38:50.590
different opinions of what a live action remake

00:38:50.590 --> 00:38:53.130
should be about and what makes a live action

00:38:53.130 --> 00:38:57.869
good. And so much of our podcast is debating

00:38:57.869 --> 00:38:59.929
each other and like having differing opinions.

00:39:00.230 --> 00:39:02.769
And we all know by this point after years, we

00:39:02.769 --> 00:39:04.929
know some of our like hottest takes for each

00:39:04.929 --> 00:39:08.539
of us. And it's really like, a fun center of

00:39:08.539 --> 00:39:10.739
our podcast. At least for me, I really enjoy

00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:13.360
when those things come up. I mean, they're bound

00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.300
to be almost every episode. I have a hot take.

00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:19.000
Riley does have a lot of hot takes. Hot takes

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:21.239
are great. I mean, I think at the end of the

00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.599
day, you just, you come together and you realize

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.880
this isn't like the end of the world. If we disagree

00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:28.619
on this subject, it's not, you know, it's not

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:30.219
going to break any friendships. We're still going

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:33.840
to have a good time. Yeah. Yeah. And as you build

00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.400
that team and you have that trust, it, then then

00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.420
somebody's not threatened by somebody else having

00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:44.719
a different opinion um and and when we can embrace

00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:46.760
that that somebody else can have a different

00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:48.820
perspective a different opinion without threatening

00:39:48.820 --> 00:39:51.969
our you know safety or sense of being because

00:39:51.969 --> 00:39:54.469
it doesn't because it doesn't have to we don't

00:39:54.469 --> 00:39:56.630
have to stand in our own way then suddenly we

00:39:56.630 --> 00:39:59.829
come with better ideas we can come up with greater

00:39:59.829 --> 00:40:02.690
solutions we can problem solve in a more effective

00:40:02.690 --> 00:40:06.630
way if we'll do it and not be afraid to put our

00:40:06.630 --> 00:40:09.630
ideas out there okay so here's what i want to

00:40:09.630 --> 00:40:11.369
take you to so we do a couple of fun segments

00:40:11.369 --> 00:40:13.610
towards the end of each episode the first segment

00:40:13.610 --> 00:40:16.289
is called this or that right classic this or

00:40:16.289 --> 00:40:19.079
that everybody knows what a this or that is There's

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.380
no right or wrong answers, but you may have to

00:40:22.380 --> 00:40:24.719
defend your controversial opinion, especially

00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:28.599
if it's a hot take. Especially if it's a hot

00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:30.619
take. Okay, so we'll have each of you answer

00:40:30.619 --> 00:40:32.719
each one of these, okay? And then we'll have

00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:34.460
to see if there's any healthy debate about them.

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:39.119
Okay, here's the first one. Magic carpet or the

00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:47.719
genie's lamp? Magic carpet. Magic carpet. What

00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:50.880
about it? Like you get it. Yeah, you get it.

00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:54.179
I'm assuming. I'm going to go genius lamp because

00:40:54.179 --> 00:40:58.500
I'm afraid of heights. Yeah. Okay. That's an

00:40:58.500 --> 00:41:00.440
acceptable answer. I do think the magic carpet

00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.019
is a fun personality that makes the carpet pretty

00:41:04.019 --> 00:41:09.099
fun. And it lasts longer. For sure. So, okay.

00:41:09.780 --> 00:41:13.659
Let's say the Agrabah marketplace or the palace

00:41:13.659 --> 00:41:18.400
rooftop. Rooftop. Yeah, I think it's got to be

00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:26.440
rooftop, honestly. Yeah, I go rooftop. Yeah,

00:41:26.539 --> 00:41:28.420
I think the rooftop's the place to go. Just the

00:41:28.420 --> 00:41:29.860
views are going to be awesome, and you can see

00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:32.599
all of Agrabah. I mean, the marketplace is certainly

00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:34.659
an interesting place. It would be kind of fun

00:41:34.659 --> 00:41:36.500
to walk around the different shops and stuff

00:41:36.500 --> 00:41:39.699
there, but it'd be something majestic about the

00:41:39.699 --> 00:41:43.760
palace rooftop. Okay, here's a tough one. Abu?

00:41:44.590 --> 00:41:49.969
The monkey or Raja the tiger? A boo. Wow, that

00:41:49.969 --> 00:41:52.630
was awesome. Are you kidding me? This isn't even

00:41:52.630 --> 00:41:54.909
a question, guys. I'm going to go with a boo.

00:41:55.130 --> 00:41:58.230
Just because the convenience of a monkey being

00:41:58.230 --> 00:42:00.570
on my shoulder I think is a lot easier than a

00:42:00.570 --> 00:42:05.710
tiger walking into me. But a boo is the start

00:42:05.710 --> 00:42:09.110
of all Aladdin's problems. And Raja has a lie

00:42:09.110 --> 00:42:12.110
detector built in. He's pretty awesome. But he's

00:42:12.110 --> 00:42:14.960
cute and he can climb around. He'll think it's

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.699
not saying I don't want anything stolen. I don't

00:42:18.699 --> 00:42:21.219
want anything stolen. But you know, like, convenient.

00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.380
I don't know. I mean, yeah. It's cool to have

00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:27.659
him on his shoulder. He could be like a security

00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:30.659
guard for you all. It's cool to have him on his

00:42:30.659 --> 00:42:32.800
shoulder, but I think I might take Raja. I also

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.420
just like big animals like that. Yeah. Okay,

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:38.480
I like it. See, I was thinking we might have

00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:40.300
some disagreement about some of these, so I like

00:42:40.300 --> 00:42:42.980
that one. I like the take on Raja being kind

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:44.659
of the built -in lie detector because you're

00:42:44.659 --> 00:42:46.280
right, that is one of his superpowers, isn't

00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:49.880
it? Okay, here's another one. Here's the next

00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:56.980
one. The Prince Ali entrance and song or a whole

00:42:56.980 --> 00:43:02.699
new world and the carpet ride? I think I know

00:43:02.699 --> 00:43:04.340
Caleb's because he said he didn't like heights,

00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.250
but we'll see. Yeah. I'm going to go the Prince

00:43:08.250 --> 00:43:12.550
Ali entrance just because it's just so grand.

00:43:12.730 --> 00:43:16.050
It's like a Disney parade but with elephants.

00:43:17.929 --> 00:43:20.050
Okay, it depends on if I'm watching the parade

00:43:20.050 --> 00:43:23.949
or in the parade. Oh yeah, I don't know. Let's

00:43:23.949 --> 00:43:27.190
say watching. We'll go watching. Okay, yeah.

00:43:28.690 --> 00:43:30.570
I think I might have to take the whole new world.

00:43:32.989 --> 00:43:36.480
Oh boy. It's a good one. I mean, Whole New World's

00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:39.780
pretty amazing. It is pretty amazing. Yeah, and

00:43:39.780 --> 00:43:42.840
you get to see, like, everything. Like, oh my

00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.659
gosh. Yeah, okay. I'll do the Whole New World.

00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:50.880
Yes, good job. Okay, I like it. I like it. Okay,

00:43:50.940 --> 00:43:55.340
here's the next one. This one might be tough.

00:43:56.840 --> 00:44:01.239
Will Smith as the genie or Robin Williams as

00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.639
the genie? Oh, this is hard. This is very hard.

00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:11.539
I almost feel like each one was the perfect genie

00:44:11.539 --> 00:44:16.860
for the type of Aladdin they were in. I think

00:44:16.860 --> 00:44:20.539
it's tough because in the Will Smith one, they

00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:24.800
just have CGI and it's just him flying in blue.

00:44:25.619 --> 00:44:29.139
I think Robin Williams gives a lot more character

00:44:29.139 --> 00:44:33.920
to him. Personality? Yeah. But at the same time,

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:38.159
that is a tough, tough choice there. I feel like

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:41.199
I'm leaning towards Robin Williams, but I might

00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:44.679
pick Robin Williams. That is really hard. But

00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:48.420
again, I feel like each one fit the different

00:44:48.420 --> 00:44:51.039
roles for like a live action versus an animated.

00:44:52.139 --> 00:44:55.119
Yeah, I agree. I might take the Robin Williams

00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.340
role. Who doesn't love Robin Williams? Yeah.

00:44:59.469 --> 00:45:03.570
And see, this is one where my age over y 'all

00:45:03.570 --> 00:45:06.329
is a defining one here, because for me, it's

00:45:06.329 --> 00:45:07.869
a piece of cake on this one. It's definitely

00:45:07.869 --> 00:45:11.150
Robin Williams, because I grew up with it. Right.

00:45:11.230 --> 00:45:13.369
I mean, Robin Williams was the heart and soul

00:45:13.369 --> 00:45:16.889
of that movie. Absolutely hysterical. I mean,

00:45:16.949 --> 00:45:18.849
I think the one that I don't know if y 'all have

00:45:18.849 --> 00:45:25.239
ever seen. Aladdin, the musical, either on Broadway

00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:28.380
or in the traveling ones. But every time I see

00:45:28.380 --> 00:45:31.980
a genie on there, they're drawing so much of

00:45:31.980 --> 00:45:34.619
the Robin Williams humor that just makes it so

00:45:34.619 --> 00:45:36.800
funny. And I just love it. And it's not that

00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.840
Will Smith is bad, but boy, I love me some Robin

00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:43.760
Williams genie. He is hilarious. Oh, yeah. It's

00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.739
his own character. He really does steal the show.

00:45:46.139 --> 00:45:49.710
Yeah. Okay, here's the next one. And I don't

00:45:49.710 --> 00:45:52.030
know if y 'all are big Disneyland folk or not,

00:45:52.090 --> 00:45:53.889
but we're going to take a stab at this one, okay?

00:45:55.030 --> 00:45:59.769
Disneyland or California Adventure? Disneyland

00:45:59.769 --> 00:46:06.030
for me, personally. Okay, name me some of these

00:46:06.030 --> 00:46:08.869
California Adventure. Didn't California Adventure

00:46:08.869 --> 00:46:11.710
just open up like Marvel Campus a few years back?

00:46:12.250 --> 00:46:17.449
Yep. Really? Oh, gosh. I think I'm up to date

00:46:17.449 --> 00:46:20.849
on my California Adventure. California Adventure

00:46:20.849 --> 00:46:25.929
has Cars Land, right? It does, yeah. The Cars

00:46:25.929 --> 00:46:28.210
ride has Cars Land. It has the Spider -Man ride

00:46:28.210 --> 00:46:32.329
now. Yeah, California Adventure. I do love me

00:46:32.329 --> 00:46:38.250
Radiator Springs Racers. Mm -hmm. I think I'll

00:46:38.250 --> 00:46:42.250
go Disneyland just for the history and nostalgia

00:46:42.250 --> 00:46:44.739
of it. But they've really been doing some good

00:46:44.739 --> 00:46:46.460
things to California Adventure. I think I have

00:46:46.460 --> 00:46:47.659
to go with California Adventure because it has

00:46:47.659 --> 00:46:51.000
Tower of Terror, right? Or was it? Which is now

00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.960
Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah, Guardians of the

00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:55.400
Galaxy. I think I have to go with California

00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.420
Adventure. Yeah, Pixar Pier is really great.

00:46:59.820 --> 00:47:02.699
Yeah, this is a much tougher question than it

00:47:02.699 --> 00:47:05.440
used to be. It used to be, especially when California

00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:07.679
Adventure first opened, it was a piece of cake

00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:11.059
Disneyland. But boy, they have just put out some

00:47:11.059 --> 00:47:14.139
killer rides and lands at California Adventure

00:47:14.139 --> 00:47:17.139
because Radiator Springs was not original to

00:47:17.139 --> 00:47:19.440
California Adventure. That was an addition later

00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.309
on. Tower of Terror was amazing. Love the update

00:47:22.309 --> 00:47:24.090
with Guardians. They now have the Spider -Man

00:47:24.090 --> 00:47:27.110
ride in Avengers Campus. I love the re -theme

00:47:27.110 --> 00:47:29.489
on the roller coaster to the Incredicoaster.

00:47:30.389 --> 00:47:34.030
Just such a fun re -theme there. I'm probably

00:47:34.030 --> 00:47:37.230
slanted California Adventure now, which I never

00:47:37.230 --> 00:47:39.010
would have thought when it first opened. It's

00:47:39.010 --> 00:47:43.349
so wild, but it is our blast. It almost feels

00:47:43.349 --> 00:47:48.300
a little traitorous, but it's pretty good. Okay,

00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:50.539
here's another tough one for you, I think, because

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:53.239
y 'all have talked about kind of expanding your

00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:55.679
podcast into Marvel stuff. So I decided to dive

00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:57.500
into a little bit of Marvel here. And this one

00:47:57.500 --> 00:48:02.420
may be a tough one. So Iron Man or Captain America?

00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:09.019
Iron Man. That is a question. Iron Man. Captain

00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:11.739
America. Wait, wait, wait. Are we talking about

00:48:11.739 --> 00:48:14.360
like with the Civil War debate? Like, or just

00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.079
their characters? Just whatever, however you

00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:21.320
want to take it. Oh, gosh. I'm just going characters.

00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:23.960
I think I'm going to go Iron Man. Yeah, I think

00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:26.880
it's Iron Man. Oh, my gosh. I think that his

00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:29.679
character arc is just insane. Okay, sure. The

00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:34.800
first time I'm ever agreeing with Caleb. I do

00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:38.500
think he has a great arc. Although I can respect

00:48:38.500 --> 00:48:41.980
Captain America for what he believes in. Yeah.

00:48:42.829 --> 00:48:47.050
He's just so consistent. But I could see if you

00:48:47.050 --> 00:48:49.510
liked Iron Man's arc, that would be a difference.

00:48:49.570 --> 00:48:51.969
I mean, he did make the ultimate sacrifice at

00:48:51.969 --> 00:48:57.110
the end of his nap. He did. I mean, yeah. Yeah,

00:48:57.150 --> 00:48:58.769
I think I have to go with Iron Man. Yeah, me

00:48:58.769 --> 00:49:02.030
too. Iron Man's kind of funny because he's so,

00:49:02.150 --> 00:49:06.650
like, doesn't care. Yeah, he doesn't really care.

00:49:06.789 --> 00:49:13.699
Yeah. So we have, did I hear two Iron Mans? yes

00:49:13.699 --> 00:49:17.099
yeah yeah and then that one captain america i

00:49:17.099 --> 00:49:20.860
think so yeah okay okay see i knew that was going

00:49:20.860 --> 00:49:23.380
to be a tough one uh because honestly they're

00:49:23.380 --> 00:49:25.579
both so great i mean honestly they're they're

00:49:25.579 --> 00:49:28.440
just two absolutely fantastic characters i i

00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.349
have to go iron man for me i uh enjoyed marvel

00:49:32.349 --> 00:49:34.590
before the first iron man it wasn't that i didn't

00:49:34.590 --> 00:49:37.070
love like them but i didn't love it i didn't

00:49:37.070 --> 00:49:39.730
yeah i kind of knew spider -man but i didn't

00:49:39.730 --> 00:49:41.369
really know much beyond that and then suddenly

00:49:41.369 --> 00:49:44.630
once iron man the first one came out oh i was

00:49:44.630 --> 00:49:48.610
all in on marvel and just love iron man from

00:49:48.610 --> 00:49:52.110
that time going forward um I do think Captain

00:49:52.110 --> 00:49:55.070
America is a real close, close call there, but

00:49:55.070 --> 00:49:57.670
there's something about Iron Man that was pretty

00:49:57.670 --> 00:49:59.570
fantastic. And you're right, made the ultimate

00:49:59.570 --> 00:50:01.670
sacrifice at the end, right? It's a good call.

00:50:02.570 --> 00:50:05.710
Yeah, I might be convinced. I think even the

00:50:05.710 --> 00:50:08.469
other, what you're saying about his movies specifically,

00:50:08.750 --> 00:50:13.070
I think his movies are more like consistently

00:50:13.070 --> 00:50:15.429
have everything I want with like the humor and

00:50:15.429 --> 00:50:19.010
action. I feel like Captain America movies, Captain

00:50:19.010 --> 00:50:21.949
America movies are more like, It's not all at

00:50:21.949 --> 00:50:25.329
once funny and action. But, I mean, Pepper Potts

00:50:25.329 --> 00:50:31.309
even in Captain America. Iron Man. Oh, boy. Yeah,

00:50:31.449 --> 00:50:34.010
I think I'll be convinced by that. Yeah, Pepper

00:50:34.010 --> 00:50:37.389
Potts is pretty awesome. Okay, here's our rapid

00:50:37.389 --> 00:50:40.110
fire. So we're just going to run one right after

00:50:40.110 --> 00:50:43.150
the other and get you all's answer on each of

00:50:43.150 --> 00:50:46.750
these, okay? You ready for this? Yep. Okay, here

00:50:46.750 --> 00:50:53.820
it is. Favorite Disney movie. Tangled, live action,

00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:57.480
live. Okay, all three different. I love it. Favorite

00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:03.820
Disney song? Oh. Yikes. I just can't wait to

00:51:03.820 --> 00:51:08.579
begin. Makes sense, because Lion King. That's

00:51:08.579 --> 00:51:11.000
a tough question. That is an insane question.

00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:21.820
One Jump Ahead. Oh, that is so good. I don't

00:51:21.820 --> 00:51:25.800
even know if I have one. We'll say if we're going

00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:30.579
from my movie. I might do The Circle of Life.

00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.300
I don't know. Same movie? Well, I love the movie.

00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:39.119
All right. I don't know. We'll do just I See

00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:42.000
the Light. that's a good one that's good it is

00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:44.039
a good one and entangled i think was a little

00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:46.139
underrated when it first came out uh you know

00:51:46.139 --> 00:51:47.900
interesting about lion king i know this is a

00:51:47.900 --> 00:51:49.760
rapid fire but i gotta go off on the side i love

00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:51.679
lin -manuel miranda like he's just one of my

00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:54.280
favorites and i remember when mufasa was coming

00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.960
out and he was talking about lion king and and

00:51:56.960 --> 00:51:59.400
he referenced lion king being a soundtrack that

00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:03.179
was a no skips soundtrack like every single song

00:52:03.179 --> 00:52:06.889
on lion king is terrific And so I totally get

00:52:06.889 --> 00:52:09.050
why you're like one and then the other, because

00:52:09.050 --> 00:52:11.090
like, oh, everyone, you just can't skip. You

00:52:11.090 --> 00:52:12.989
have to listen to every single song on that soundtrack

00:52:12.989 --> 00:52:15.889
in Lion King because it's so good. Okay, Lin

00:52:15.889 --> 00:52:18.630
-Manuel Miranda. I do want to pick one from Encanto,

00:52:18.710 --> 00:52:22.510
but I kind of can't pick right now. I mean, that's

00:52:22.510 --> 00:52:23.989
probably where I'd go. Encanto is actually my

00:52:23.989 --> 00:52:27.320
favorite Disney movie. Um, and, but which, which

00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.739
song you go with in that movie is really hard

00:52:29.739 --> 00:52:33.219
because I think the scale of the initial song,

00:52:33.340 --> 00:52:35.820
Family Madrigal, where he finds what introduced

00:52:35.820 --> 00:52:37.519
every single character and what all of their

00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.559
things are is just such a clever song. But we

00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:42.199
don't talk about Bruno was like, I mean, it was

00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.539
the number one song on the charts across the

00:52:44.539 --> 00:52:46.840
country, right? Like amazing. Then you had Dos

00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:49.860
Oroguitas, which is this sweet song that like.

00:52:50.829 --> 00:52:52.929
Yeah, that's my favorite movie, y 'all. That's

00:52:52.929 --> 00:52:54.789
my favorite. I love all those songs, so they're

00:52:54.789 --> 00:52:57.869
all great. Hannah loves that movie. I really

00:52:57.869 --> 00:53:00.670
love that. Well, Hannah, you and I were right

00:53:00.670 --> 00:53:03.349
there. Girl, I got it. That's a great movie.

00:53:03.690 --> 00:53:07.429
My favorite movie. I love it. Okay, favorite

00:53:07.429 --> 00:53:12.949
Disney princess. I wanted to say Moana, but she's

00:53:12.949 --> 00:53:15.969
not a princess. Is she not? Nah, she counts.

00:53:16.710 --> 00:53:23.329
Really? She counts. Okay. Moana. For a while,

00:53:23.329 --> 00:53:25.269
it was Jasmine, but I think now... Oh my gosh,

00:53:25.289 --> 00:53:27.050
I forgot about Jasmine. I think now it'll probably

00:53:27.050 --> 00:53:29.849
be Rapunzel. I think I'm going to go with The

00:53:29.849 --> 00:53:33.809
Little Mermaid. It's still Moana. Moana is pretty

00:53:33.809 --> 00:53:39.610
good. Moana is really good, actually. When you

00:53:39.610 --> 00:53:41.710
bring up Moana about being a princess or not,

00:53:41.829 --> 00:53:45.269
isn't it in that movie? Doesn't Maui call her

00:53:45.269 --> 00:53:47.699
a princess? He's like, I'm not. And he's like,

00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:50.179
no, you are. You have a sidekick. Like, you're

00:53:50.179 --> 00:53:55.280
a princess. Yeah, I agree with Maui. I think

00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:58.820
she's a princess. Okay, how about favorite Disney

00:53:58.820 --> 00:54:04.099
villain? Scar. Yeah, I hate to go from the same

00:54:04.099 --> 00:54:08.039
movie, but Scar. Oh, interesting. Scar's a great

00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:11.219
villain. Yeah, he is. I was going to go Ursula

00:54:11.219 --> 00:54:13.480
or Scar. Yeah, Ursula. Ursula would be another

00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:17.289
good one. How about Ursula? So we got Ursula,

00:54:17.369 --> 00:54:20.250
we got Scar, and then what is another one? Scar.

00:54:21.550 --> 00:54:24.289
Oh, we got two Scars. Okay. Well, you guys are

00:54:24.289 --> 00:54:26.550
going all in on Scar. Be Prepared, great song.

00:54:26.670 --> 00:54:28.510
Again, back to the no skips. Be Prepared is a

00:54:28.510 --> 00:54:31.289
great song, but also Poor Unfortunate Souls is

00:54:31.289 --> 00:54:36.880
also a great villain song. Terrific. Those are

00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:39.900
really high in my list. Just for sake of a different

00:54:39.900 --> 00:54:42.440
one, I also really like Hades from Hercules.

00:54:42.500 --> 00:54:45.519
I think he's funny. I think he's a good time.

00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:49.820
Hades is a good villain. Okay, how about we'll

00:54:49.820 --> 00:54:54.199
end with this on the rapid fire. Favorite food

00:54:54.199 --> 00:54:57.639
at Disneyland or California Adventure, in case

00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:00.869
maybe. The funnel cakes are so good. Well, the

00:55:00.869 --> 00:55:04.489
churros. The churros. The churros are really

00:55:04.489 --> 00:55:05.969
good. The churros are really good. Yeah, Cars

00:55:05.969 --> 00:55:10.269
Land churros. I haven't been in so long on Main

00:55:10.269 --> 00:55:11.989
Street. Do we get two churros? All the bakeries

00:55:11.989 --> 00:55:17.550
have, oh, yeah. I'm going to do the funnel cake.

00:55:19.110 --> 00:55:23.170
Yeah. Funnel cake, okay. Those are good. I'm

00:55:23.170 --> 00:55:25.909
a churro guy. The churros there are just like,

00:55:26.070 --> 00:55:28.030
I don't know. Nobody does a churro like Disneyland.

00:55:28.590 --> 00:55:32.449
They're just so good. I love the churros. Okay,

00:55:32.530 --> 00:55:36.389
so what we like to do at the end of every episode

00:55:36.389 --> 00:55:40.389
is we like to give our audience three actionable

00:55:40.389 --> 00:55:43.269
takeaways. In other words, three things that

00:55:43.269 --> 00:55:45.469
we recommend that they could put into effect

00:55:45.469 --> 00:55:50.289
in their lives today or this week. And in this

00:55:50.289 --> 00:55:53.230
case, on that topic of the hopeful resilience,

00:55:53.550 --> 00:55:55.909
finding a little bit more of that hopeful resilience

00:55:55.909 --> 00:56:01.800
in their lives. What are three specific suggestions

00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:04.679
you all would have that somebody could do to

00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:07.179
have more hopeful resilience in their life starting

00:56:07.179 --> 00:56:11.099
this week? Yeah, one that I have, and I think

00:56:11.099 --> 00:56:13.460
all of ours are kind of habits, but definitely

00:56:13.460 --> 00:56:16.900
something you should start now. Continually make

00:56:16.900 --> 00:56:20.239
achievable goals, but never a final goal. I would

00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:25.360
say this week, make a goal list maybe for your

00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:27.900
next year of whatever project it is. and kind

00:56:27.900 --> 00:56:31.940
of think of think of what is actually achievable

00:56:31.940 --> 00:56:34.400
think of where you'll be in the next quarter

00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:36.199
the next three months the next six months and

00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:38.559
the next year but don't think of that as the

00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:42.139
end of your whatever in our case the podcast

00:56:42.139 --> 00:56:44.820
like you shouldn't ever think of your goals as

00:56:44.820 --> 00:56:49.519
a capstone so put a goal but never make like

00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:53.119
okay this is where we want to be in five years.

00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:55.360
I think if you do a five -year goal, it should

00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:59.380
be more general. I would be very wary of placing

00:56:59.380 --> 00:57:02.860
that much precision in a goal that far out. It

00:57:02.860 --> 00:57:05.940
could just, you feel limited yourself and you

00:57:05.940 --> 00:57:08.159
shouldn't feel that. You should bring yourself

00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:10.440
up. Yeah. I think, you know, what's interesting

00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:12.059
is for somebody so young, that's actually very

00:57:12.059 --> 00:57:15.679
insightful. um because i've heard a lot on this

00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:18.340
recently you know traditionally in the business

00:57:18.340 --> 00:57:20.519
world in the corporate world it's you know you

00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:22.260
set your 10 -year plan your five -year plan your

00:57:22.260 --> 00:57:23.599
three -year plan and then you work from there

00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:27.300
and and i think what a lot of research is showing

00:57:27.300 --> 00:57:29.980
is that you just have no idea where you're actually

00:57:29.980 --> 00:57:31.679
going to be in five years or even three years

00:57:32.190 --> 00:57:34.190
that being a little bit more generic and you

00:57:34.190 --> 00:57:36.050
could have it be a big goal, but a little bit

00:57:36.050 --> 00:57:38.250
more generic that far out actually can be helpful.

00:57:38.429 --> 00:57:41.030
And you're dialing down on the specifics in your

00:57:41.030 --> 00:57:43.630
quarterly goals and in your annual goal. So it's

00:57:43.630 --> 00:57:44.929
actually really insightful. I really liked that

00:57:44.929 --> 00:57:48.010
one. So excellent. So we've got a great actual

00:57:48.010 --> 00:57:49.769
takeaway there of, of kind of setting those goals

00:57:49.769 --> 00:57:52.889
and kind of those, those dialing in those quarterly

00:57:52.889 --> 00:57:57.150
goals three, you know, a three month and 90 day

00:57:57.150 --> 00:58:01.110
kind of period. Excellent. What else? Well, I

00:58:01.110 --> 00:58:04.530
would say, Whatever you're doing, whatever you're

00:58:04.530 --> 00:58:07.190
striving for, whatever your hobby is, write down

00:58:07.190 --> 00:58:09.750
your milestones, whether they're big or small.

00:58:10.190 --> 00:58:12.949
Write them down so that you can, one, see how

00:58:12.949 --> 00:58:15.550
far you've come for motivation to keep going,

00:58:15.710 --> 00:58:18.829
and also to track your growth, to see how you're

00:58:18.829 --> 00:58:21.389
doing throughout your time. Because I think it's

00:58:21.389 --> 00:58:23.670
really easy to, kind of like how we've been talking

00:58:23.670 --> 00:58:26.269
in this episode, just start something, but not

00:58:26.269 --> 00:58:29.369
really go through with it, or to lose the passion

00:58:29.369 --> 00:58:32.070
as you continue on with it. And I think writing

00:58:32.070 --> 00:58:35.110
down those milestones of whatever you're doing

00:58:35.110 --> 00:58:38.750
really helps you with seeing where you've come

00:58:38.750 --> 00:58:41.349
to kind of convince yourself that you actually

00:58:41.349 --> 00:58:43.510
are getting better and growing at whatever you're

00:58:43.510 --> 00:58:46.170
trying to do. But it also really motivates you

00:58:46.170 --> 00:58:48.989
to continue on with the goal. And write the date

00:58:48.989 --> 00:58:51.670
with those milestones so you can really see how

00:58:51.670 --> 00:58:56.699
fast you're progressing and how far. Yeah. It's

00:58:56.699 --> 00:58:59.280
an excellent one as well. I mean, what they say

00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:02.239
is that what you measure, you can improve. And

00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:05.599
so if you don't have them written down, you have

00:59:05.599 --> 00:59:08.380
no measurement against which to compare it in

00:59:08.380 --> 00:59:11.199
the future. So it's hard to track whether or

00:59:11.199 --> 00:59:12.880
not you've grown or you've made improvements.

00:59:12.940 --> 00:59:15.719
But by writing those goals down and then reviewing

00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:18.199
those goals when those time periods come, then

00:59:18.199 --> 00:59:21.239
you can see, okay, where did I come? Where did

00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:24.349
I fall short? What can I do to improve on? the

00:59:24.349 --> 00:59:26.670
the next goals that i set so it's an excellent

00:59:26.670 --> 00:59:33.969
one perfect okay how about number three so for

00:59:33.969 --> 00:59:36.369
this one i would say don't be afraid of reimagining

00:59:36.369 --> 00:59:38.289
your process when things don't go as planned

00:59:38.289 --> 00:59:41.150
instead use those challenges to re -innovate

00:59:41.150 --> 00:59:43.829
new pathways don't just dig deeper to strengthen

00:59:43.829 --> 00:59:47.030
a new one so like say you get a challenge you

00:59:47.030 --> 00:59:48.610
know or setback like we were talking about earlier

00:59:48.610 --> 00:59:51.719
in this episode don't like use that as something

00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:54.500
that like oh man that like that stinks you know

00:59:54.500 --> 00:59:56.840
don't let that tear you down but instead use

00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:59.539
that as like almost advice like hey this is what

00:59:59.539 --> 01:00:02.260
you can work on okay now we're gonna you know

01:00:02.260 --> 01:00:04.480
change this and change that and make it better

01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:08.179
and obviously this might not be having a difficulty

01:00:08.179 --> 01:00:12.199
but this week you can still to have a contingency

01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:16.239
plan or whatever it is um usually our contingency

01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:19.179
plans revolve around who's going to edit Riley

01:00:19.179 --> 01:00:21.440
and I ended up learning a little bit ago how

01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:24.360
to do the baseline bare bones of editing as a

01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:26.480
contingency plan for when Caleb can't do it.

01:00:26.739 --> 01:00:29.739
And so I think having a contingency plan and

01:00:29.739 --> 01:00:31.800
then, yeah, when something goes bad, think of

01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:35.019
three out of the box ways, kind of those why

01:00:35.019 --> 01:00:37.360
nots that we were talking about earlier. Why

01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:40.059
not? Why can't you do something else to overcome

01:00:40.059 --> 01:00:43.000
this problem? It was exactly what came to my

01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:45.369
head when you said that. was the why not so that's

01:00:45.369 --> 01:00:47.090
perfect i love that you you wrecked it right

01:00:47.090 --> 01:00:49.269
into that because that's that can really you

01:00:49.269 --> 01:00:51.289
know expand what the possibilities are so we

01:00:51.289 --> 01:00:54.809
don't get too stuck in a rut um and we can think

01:00:54.809 --> 01:00:58.050
beyond that and really open up the world of possibilities

01:00:58.050 --> 01:01:01.010
well you know thank you so much those are some

01:01:01.010 --> 01:01:04.050
fantastic um actionable takeaways that people

01:01:04.050 --> 01:01:05.869
can really put into effect in their lives to

01:01:06.510 --> 01:01:08.510
to help, you know, really bring a greater degree

01:01:08.510 --> 01:01:11.590
of happiness, of joy, of fulfillment through

01:01:11.590 --> 01:01:14.389
this hopeful resilience as we push past struggles,

01:01:14.590 --> 01:01:17.929
as we find hope in the things that we're doing

01:01:17.929 --> 01:01:21.269
in building for a great future for ourselves

01:01:21.269 --> 01:01:23.989
and for others. Been an absolute pleasure speaking

01:01:23.989 --> 01:01:27.250
with the three of you today on the challenges

01:01:27.250 --> 01:01:29.829
you faced, the resilience you've had as you've

01:01:29.829 --> 01:01:33.670
built a wonderful podcast and stuck with it for

01:01:34.460 --> 01:01:37.159
a substantial period of time, which is so impressive.

01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:38.739
And it's also so impressive that you've done

01:01:38.739 --> 01:01:41.380
so at a young age. And I think it just goes to

01:01:41.380 --> 01:01:43.260
show that, you know, regardless of somebody's

01:01:43.260 --> 01:01:46.780
age or background, that there's so many things

01:01:46.780 --> 01:01:49.239
we can learn from others. And so I appreciate

01:01:49.239 --> 01:01:51.800
the willingness that the three of you had to

01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.840
share your story, to share your experiences with

01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:57.820
our audience. I'm better off for it. I know that

01:01:57.820 --> 01:02:00.039
our audience will be better off for it. So really

01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:01.940
appreciate your time that the three of you took

01:02:01.940 --> 01:02:05.590
to be on with us today. Yeah, thank you for having

01:02:05.590 --> 01:02:08.210
us. Yeah, it's our pleasure. We really enjoy

01:02:08.210 --> 01:02:11.010
getting this chance to share our story and tell

01:02:11.010 --> 01:02:12.869
everyone more about us aside that they don't

01:02:12.869 --> 01:02:15.130
get to see on the, or hear on our podcast. Yeah,

01:02:15.150 --> 01:02:16.530
I don't even think the people who listen to our

01:02:16.530 --> 01:02:18.789
podcast are getting this much in -depth on us.

01:02:19.730 --> 01:02:22.550
As you lead this conversation, remember that

01:02:22.550 --> 01:02:25.369
yes, the past can hurt and you can either run

01:02:25.369 --> 01:02:28.590
from it or you can learn from it. So here's to

01:02:28.590 --> 01:02:32.110
learning and finding joy in the journey. See

01:02:32.110 --> 01:02:32.610
you real soon.
