Aladdin (2019) and Hopeful Resilience | Mouse Ears Movie Thoughts Siblings


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
- 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.
- Write Down Every Milestone with a Date – Track progress so you can see how far you've come. What you measure, you can improve.
- 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.

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

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.
