Moore Style - How Courtney Ferris Beat 2,000 Contestants in Beast Games (Steal Her Winning Strategy)

Starting point is 00:00:00 So how did Hey Dude start? I don't know why. I lived in Hawaii, so maybe that's a thing or just the California vibe, like dude. Just say three tips to when a brand is trying to go viral. I think that the top three would be audit yourself and do the opposite. See what's working and what's not working

Starting point is 00:00:17 and try to stop selling your product and start being more authentic and funny. Hi, if you don't know me, my name is Celeste Moore. I'm a certified image consultant and I help influencers, creators, speakers really discover and master their own unique style so that they can command any room that they walk in. Today I'm very blessed to have Courtney Ferris with us today. Yes, Miss, if you haven't seen Beast Games, go check it out because she was not just any contestant, but in the top 10. So we're going to get into that in a few minutes, but I want to kind of

Starting point is 00:00:56 introduce her today, a creative visionary in digital marketing and visual storytelling. So Courtney's been on reality TV, worked with celebrities and pro athletes, and is the go-to woman for viral UGC. So influencer campaigns and creative direction. Whether she's styling a shoot, managing a brand, or making content that goes viral, she understands exactly how image and presence move the needle. So if you want to be seen, remembered, and paid as the expert that you are she's the one for you so welcome Courtney oh thank you solid intro that's better than what I have on my website do you want to use this yeah I'm gonna use this for sure awesome so how long has it been since uh Beast Games have been over oh we stopped filming in September okay um so

Starting point is 00:01:43 it's only been like a few months but they're already filming again soon oh really no yeah So you were the first show. Yeah, season one. It started with 2,000 people. I did end up in the top six. Top six. Yes, top ten is the same thing. That's impressive, though.

Starting point is 00:02:00 Yes, it was incredible. So we'll see what they do with season two. Okay, so first question, how did you get onto a show like Beast Games? So anyone that's looking to get on reality TV or any type of TV. Yeah, so there's a few ways people have done it. A lot of people I talked to during Beast Games said that they found it on Mr. Beast's Twitter. I guess he posted some ads about it. I personally have a bunch of different casting websites that I'm a part of.

Starting point is 00:02:31 So you pay like $100 a month or a year or whatever it is. And you build a portfolio and then they publish castings that are happening. And so at the time, there was one that said unscripted reality TV game show. And I was like, that sounds fun. So it didn't say Mr. Beast. I had no idea. And I sign up for everything because you only get one in every hundred that you sign up for. Yes.

Starting point is 00:02:52 So that one ended up working out for me and it turned out to be Mr. Beast and just kept going through the process. There were two submission videos we had to submit. So those audition videos are important. But I also have like a YouTube video I put out for like the actual links. I've added it all to the YouTube video. So if people want to sign up for season two, that's already on my YouTube for people to help them out with. That's really generous of you. Of course.

Starting point is 00:03:15 Oh my gosh. The more the merrier. Yeah. Tell me what was it like, first of all, starting off with 2,000 contestants and then being in the top six? I knew from the moment that I started with 2,000 people that I was going to end up somewhere very, very close to what I did. I thought I was going to win, not going to lie. I had it in my head. But like even with the 2,000 people, I was like, this is massive.

Starting point is 00:03:38 And it was kind of intimidating. I was like, what did I get myself into? But even then, I kind of knew like I was going to go super far. I had no doubt do you think it was because of your authenticity yeah I think that played a huge huge role there were people who were less authentic I think to themselves and wanted to play more of a game that didn't really work out for them um but I don't know if that's going to be the case for season two it might be different yeah because I know um just watching some of these game shows like you know it's like a chess game yeah and everybody's you know I'll do this for

Starting point is 00:04:11 you if you do this for me and then like someone like stabs them in the back and it's just like this you know crazy like I get it makes great TV probably but I love that you stayed true to who you are yeah the producers love the drama like they sit there and they try to pull it out of you so it was hard to you know not say the wrong thing or not say something that they could twist because they really make it like they want the drama for sure yeah fair yeah because I've seen them do that with a couple of the cat um you know who they cast for the show right it's like I didn't say that or I didn't say that and it's like they just really want to make like you know good tv I guess yeah I get it it's more funny and fun and interesting that way it gets

Starting point is 00:04:55 your emotions I mean we sign the contract saying you can use our words in whatever way you want so it's really on us oh interesting they make you sign all these papers oh of course yeah thick packets of them oh my god so how do you how do you work around that um it's just kind of a little bit you kind of got to sacrifice some things to achieve some things so okay you know in some ways you just have to sacrifice your comfortability yeah and be more aware of what you're saying and more careful and you know I think it takes a lot of brain you know you just gotta think a lot like if you're talking to someone and there's a camera on you like yeah really think about what you're saying because you're you're you signed away literally like your rights to be like i

Starting point is 00:05:41 that's i mean you said what you said yeah you know yeah yeah so how did hey dude start the hey dude thing is so funny um i genuinely just call everybody dude even like women men i don't i don't know why i lived in hawaii so maybe that's a thing or just the california vibes like dude but i guess on in episode nine there was a game where we had to call each other and then also call jimmy and put in our votes for people and every time i'd pick up the phone to call jimmy i'd be like hey dude i'm gonna vote for this person and i guess it took him off guard because i suppose people don't call him dude too much especially if you're working together in a collaboration on a big tv show maybe it was a little casual for him um so people think it's silly and funny that i just

Starting point is 00:06:27 humanized the moment just by saying hey dude but that's how you kept yourself real too just in those moments where you were able to still be authentically you true I was stressed so it was like I couldn't be anything but authentic in those moments you're like what is happening right now what a mind like like you said just like you've got to be it's like a chess game I mean that's the only way I can describe it it's a great way to describe it it's like a psychological chess game for sure did it how did how did you feel getting to the point that you got to I felt amazing like it just really proved to me that one you don't have to screw people over and be a bad person or to be selfish to get far in life and I think that's very true and I also just felt really

Starting point is 00:07:12 proud of myself because I've always wanted to do something like that like something crazy big fun exciting and then leave a pretty positive impact on people so it's more than I even asked for yeah that I could have gotten I didn't even realize like the gift that I got from that was bigger than like maybe the 10 million in a different way you know yeah so do each contestant like okay so the the winner gets 10 million right and then everybody else gets nothing or they get a little something whatever you win you get there are people who like I took sixth place and I got seven grand because i won it essentially in a different game um but then my friend who got i think like fifth or fourth place you know got zero dollars out of it oh snap yes i mean we all

Starting point is 00:07:56 got paid a base rate which is fine so whether you're there for a week or a month you got paid two thousand dollars okay but you win more money in the game so there were opportunities for us to make it okay but some people didn't yeah yeah so what have you learned from this experience experience so much that you are going to take into your future like endeavors your entrepreneurship I definitely realized that it's it's pretty scary being soft in the world and I think I was pretty soft during season one where my heart was soft and I always thought about other people first and I think the reality is it's really good to have a soft heart but life just is not that way that's just not how people operate so it's more important to care more so for yourself just like in the

Starting point is 00:08:42 airplane you know they tell you put your oxygen mask on before others like the reality of life is you do have to care for yourself before others otherwise you're just going to stay behind you know so I did learn uh kind of a different way of approaching things in life and not being so soft and being a little bit more confident in my own needs and wants in life yeah and knowing I deserve them yeah you do yeah and usually that like takes years like me or it took me many years where you this put you in kind of forced you into a really uncomfortable situation like tested probably every emotion that you could possibly go through um but you did take that away you're like no like i do deserve everything i do deserve to be first and to be happy and that like that's huge yeah

Starting point is 00:09:31 yeah I needed to learn that lesson I think um I also think it's important for the lesson that I taught others in the show from the show is like it's okay to be soft also because you can get really far and I think there's a certain point when you might be able to recognize okay it's time to switch up the thought process and now it's about me um so that it's like useful in different ways in different areas of life but both perspectives are important yeah no I do like that I guess I think when you say soft, that's like still being open and vulnerable, right? And like, you can still be a good human, but still care about yourself first. Yes, exactly.

Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah. Perfectly said. I love it. So what's next for you? Well, I guess let's kind of start up like, so you started a little bit about your backstory. I know we're kind of going a little all over the place, but you said your family's in to photography and that's kind of how you started this journey. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:28 So it's actually kind of interesting. my family since I was born they really were not there was no photography like really surrounding me before I was born my grandpa owned a photo studio on the east coast and when he died that got passed on and my dad took over the photo studio and eventually I was born and that didn't exist and now we live in Arizona and I think it just ran through my blood I've always loved the creative things in life and my dad did kind of open up that photography world to me a little bit and eventually in high school I started to study photojournalism I loved doing anything that like with photography that told a story and in high school my photo actually ended up winning an

Starting point is 00:11:11 award for a photojournalism association thing so we came out to San Fran I accepted my award and ever since I was like oh I'm kind of good at this so I was told throughout high school like you're never going to make money you know with photography unless you're doing wedding photography which is kind of true but that did kind of steer me off that path a little bit put my little creative pursuit aside made it into a hobby studied psychology in college and wanted to do cognitive and behavioral neuropsychology which I still love nerd out over every day yes but decided that was a little too much for me and I didn't want to get a doctorate so after I graduated college I moved to Hawaii and just did surf photography and worked at a cafe that also sold the surf lessons I was

Starting point is 00:11:56 doing surf photography at as a barista and from then on I was like no I love photography and I wanted to continue to pursue it and after two years of Hawaii I moved back to Arizona became a bartender because the creative life is not an easy one you got to do a million different things to get there and I eventually started like my photography business and networking with the right people and just getting hired and brought along on gigs for free I would do a lot of free work and eventually my name and my photography just got out and word of mouth and started to work with a lot of celebrities and artists doing you know photography and behind the scenes or re-clips of their sets on stage but I realized photography wasn't really where the money was

Starting point is 00:12:44 at and everybody was right so we had to turn to video so I'm not the best videographer I don't really think that's my cup of tea I still love photography but everything did turn to video and eventually I just started working with brands doing video stuff for them and I noticed I'd be going viral for them I would know how to like get their name out there I'd blow them up from you know getting a typical of like 80,000 views to 10 million views within a week yeah I was like dang I'm kind of good at this now yeah so I just kind of followed that path and that's what's led me to where I am now okay so now that you've settled a little bit after the show like what what are you doing what are you up to so now i'm working with a lot of different brands okay you

Starting point is 00:13:29 know i've done a lot of work as the face of a brand so i was the one like in front of the camera for a lot of brands i've connected to a lot of a lot of models and influencers with brands that need to do influencer campaigns just the other week um i did a influencer campaign for rolling loud um for loco and that's an awful lot of cough syrup which is a streetwear brand in la oh nice and so we did they did a collaboration they hired me to do their influencer campaign I put together a group of amazing content creators that I admire and love and we just went to Rolling Loud had a ball created a bunch of content and that content caught the eye of Live Nation and they complimented us on our content and after that that's over forgot about it moving on then I did a modeling

Starting point is 00:14:14 shoot with King Palm and I was the model this time and then got over that and then the next thing I did was working with a luxury concierge company, creating their content, helping them go viral. So essentially just a lot of, you know, brand hopping, helping people get their content pushed out, you know, whatever the brand needs essentially. So if you could give like, just say three tips to when a brand is trying to go viral or just not even go viral, but they're just really trying to be seen like give could you give us three tips like to the audience like what you recommend for them to do sure yeah whenever i whenever a brand reaches out to me and says we need brand awareness i the first thing i do is i look at their page and i see what's performed the

Starting point is 00:15:01 best on what's not been performing and for whatever reason i notice a lot of brands continue to create the same things that aren't performing well so i tell them immediately whatever you're doing do the exact opposite because it's not working and you need to take it a little less seriously because people these days we're scrolling and we don't want to see an ad we don't really care what you're selling us we want to feel an emotion either laugh cry send it to our friend whatever we're not going to waste time on an ad so your ad has to trick people into thinking that it's not an ad essentially and that's what i really do best so my my top three tips would be audit your own page first and foremost and see what's not doing well and stop doing that okay

Starting point is 00:15:42 do the opposite um try to make one video that is more based on emotional pull and not about your product because if nobody cares about your product then nobody cares but if someone cares about your video and they think you're funny they'll probably go to your page and see your product um and then my third one is just don't take it so seriously like everyone is sick of the serious. Like we just want to have a moment to ourselves when we can just enjoy whatever content we're consuming and not be sold something. So I think that the top three would be audit yourself and do the opposite. See what's working and what's not working and try to stop selling your product and start being more authentic and funny or silly. That's awesome. Those are such

Starting point is 00:16:32 great tips yeah the first like three or four years ago when I really started trying to this was a different business that I had and I remember I hired a social team thinking like this was the answer to like helping me you know create content and they always had this call to action of like book a call do this and I was like someone like came on my dms and they're like Celeste stop selling I was like oh it's just what I thought I needed to do like it's my team and so I think there's just this old way of like if you don't have a a sales call to action you know that you're not going to sell anything which is actually the opposite right and that changes too because you were probably right to think that way especially in the beginning of all this like yeah you're

Starting point is 00:17:15 right because otherwise you do need a call to action but now we've all caught on to that yeah now it's like okay what's next so you have to continue to evolve like maybe your call to action is like reverse psychology where it's like don't look at my page people are gonna be like oh i'm going to click on it because I want to look on it so you got to get a little creative with it yeah but you were not wrong to think that way at first yeah I mean you you do have to be open to the forever fast changing pace of social media yes and find ways to be more creative and that's where you come in I mean Instagram used to just be a photography platform yes like literally but now it's ads marketing like comedy like it's crazy how much it's changed yeah I think I get

Starting point is 00:17:56 inundated and i know a lot of entrepreneurs in this space any space like linkedin instagram like i just get at like i get dms of like i can help you i can help you i can help you i can help you and i'm just like i don't even look at them anymore like if someone wants to try to like have me use their services that it's not the way to do it not at all yeah usually i think the best way to get someone to use their service is to just do it for free at first show them and make them love it and so that they can't live without it that's like the only way because i get the same i get like a bunch of emails like oh i can help you grow your business i'm like no you can't because you just sent me this boring email that i'm gonna ignore yeah exactly good luck um and

Starting point is 00:18:35 i've had a few creative people like actually take one of my videos and edit it or something and i'm like and they're like what do you think i'm like sorry yeah just didn't work for me nope you got to pivot when you have to pivot you got to pivot yeah so what do you think is going to like is there something that do you want to do like tv again yeah i do i did apply for beast games season two okay i don't know what's going to happen with that yet everything's always up in the air um but even if that doesn't work out like i would love to act on netflix or hulu or you know i love doing commercials i love when people send me my commercials and they're like i saw you in this ad um because i just i don't know why i like it i just like it it's fun and yeah like i'm like how

Starting point is 00:19:18 am i getting paid for this i'm just like playing pretend with people it's kind of silly but i do want to continue acting modeling um i love what i do i love managing people and helping brands but i want to just scale it and get bigger yeah i know you are yeah yeah i mean you know we met at this event just a couple weeks ago um and i think that inner circle like is really focused on probably all those little you know sections that you're really interested in yeah and hopefully like even that i don't know i mean i i don't know if you are in multiple groups to kind of diversify um i mean i'm a pretty diverse person like i wish i could pinpoint what i'm good at and what i need to do but i'm just doing it all because i like what i do yeah but i think as a creative too

Starting point is 00:20:09 like you have options and it's always good to even have like as um as i've learned in the last couple years just be open to things that i never saw were even in my my vision right until i met somebody that was like oh well what do you think of this like oh well right yeah maybe right and then try it exactly yeah that's actually uh that's kind of how i like to say yes to everything especially because i'm like i know new things are coming yeah and so when you say yes and you plant seeds like there's always going to be something new in the future that you didn't even think about existing that exists like my job now when I studied psychology in college yeah I had no idea that I could like do this for like money you know what I mean whether it's acting modeling hiring

Starting point is 00:20:57 other people to do the acting and modeling I don't know it's just you can kind of create the life you want as long as you continue planting the seeds and pushing forward and don't like don't doubt yourself because it will happen yeah i hear a lot of the um blocks that people are like the self doubt and also it's just like i've talked about this on a lot of shows today because i think this is so like there's a common theme right of getting uncomfortable it's like that is where the growth happens and people usually stop there yes the uncomfortability is like that's my favorite thing because when i start feeling a little uncomfortable i'm like i'm just taking a step in a new direction that i'm not used to and that's a good thing it's always fun but that's a good way to look at it

Starting point is 00:21:42 yeah right even like any kind of entrepreneurship um anything that you're doing whether it's a product whether you're you know whatever that looks like for you is the only way to grow is just to keep like keep pushing forward and like even when it like we don't always have the great days like these are great everything feels good we have these days too and it's like i think that's when you need to push a little bit harder but then that's like even better exactly yeah it's kind of weird how life works there's like a balance of things yeah but I feel like definitely the more uncomfortable you are the better because your comfort really does hold you back into a space where you're just so used to sitting there like you'll literally stay stagnant forever if

Starting point is 00:22:23 you're always comfortable that's not the move yeah no that's great like like that mindset so like what are some tools that you take like on a daily as being doing different things like what what are maybe like three things that you focus on is like mindset is it like health and well that like is there a ritual or thing that you do on a daily I'm awful at scheduling myself I have literally no basis of what I do every day it's always different I always wake up at a different time I don't even have I don't know why I don't have the discipline to put a schedule to my life but I think it's because like the more freedom I give myself the more I try to fill my life with things you know like the more I'm doing as long I'm measuring my success on how busy I am like

Starting point is 00:23:11 I want to keep myself busy so I think that my mindset on that is like just like don't stop like never settle that's just my constant mindset I'm like no I need to keep going and everything is always good enough I don't tell myself like this isn't good enough because that doesn't work for my mindset yeah um I'm like this is great but I'm gonna keep doing better like it's just um maybe that motivation or the power behind that that keeps me going because also I don't really have like a secure job with money coming in every month and I know how much I'm getting yeah I have to just make the money myself and so in order to do that I have to do the reach out I have to go sit at a cafe for hours and search who I want to work with and send them my proposals I mean it's

Starting point is 00:23:54 not all people don't just come and find me all the times yeah it's a lot of work on my end so the motivation knowing that like I have to do it myself or it's not going to get done at all and then always trying to level up and do better right I think that's the best mindset that I've kept over these years I love that that's inspiring it's like mindset and it's like I let this is great but I'm gonna do something better like this is yeah just like owning where you're at and saying like this is amazing because how do you think you're have people found you more now that you've been on a show like Mr. Beast no I mean more people definitely have found me okay that hasn't really I noticed it's really still all on me to make the money interesting um I've had brands find

Starting point is 00:24:38 me and reach out which is nice it's a lot easier but that doesn't mean that the sale is being made like a lot of brands will reach out and it will fall through um especially now because I think it's a little bit harder now that I'm having all these brands or people even reach out reach out reach out because then I'll forget to follow up or like I don't have the capacity and that's really where the money is made it's in the follow-up and it's in like my work so I have to do more work now I think yeah you're like thanks yeah why don't you hire an assistant like a VA or something I I do an agency reached out to do some stuff for me I just feel I noticed that the only way I make money is on my own for some reason I don't know why because you're so magnetic and you're authentic

Starting point is 00:25:23 and that's something that I was drawn to you right away just like you're such a like not that everybody at the event was like bad people I was just really drawn to like how open sweet vulnerable like you're just authentic thank you and people are drawn to that thank you I appreciate yeah and it's like okay that is kind of part of it I noticed when I was building this career like you can't always delegate everything because then you it loses the flair that you bring to it so it's hard like I want to delegate that stuff but I think a lot of people do they just expect me and my energy and that's where the that's how I make my money I mean if I could hire an assistant and they could give that same energy I think it would work out but a lot of it's

Starting point is 00:26:07 in-person networking too right oh my gosh that's like some of the most powerful things I think the most powerful ways to move the needle in business is by far networking oh yeah getting into rooms with people that are more successful than you and then like I talk about this a lot because there's just one of us right and yes people love to work with who we are but it's like okay but how can I get in front of more people than just like these one-on-ones or whatever but those those two things have been so paramount to my growth good those are great things networking is literally everything even it's really all in who you know like everybody says that and like you can work really really hard but if people don't know your name they're not gonna remember

Starting point is 00:26:53 you or they're not gonna they don't know your face yeah they're gonna look at the person in front it's whatever's easiest in front and in front of people that they like yeah so like you really do have to put yourself out there right and and do it every day too and actually the third thing that i've just recently done in the last six months is speaking so getting on stage because then people really understand like your story and where why you do what you do because just going to a networking event you're not like oh hold on let me give you my 15 minute keynote like about me and about my business so that has been also a really good game changer i'd like to start speaking that's cool yeah do you want to yeah i kind of want to learn i don't i don't know what i would talk about

Starting point is 00:27:32 because i'm all over the place but that's just being creative yeah part of the life i feel the same way i'm like right like you have to just like um i've worked with a speak a speaking coach for a little bit to help me with all the things like create something that works and flows because it still takes practice which it's foreign to me i can sit here and talk all day yeah but when i'm on stage trying to really like give a powerful speech so different it's so different even when i started my photography career like the largest crowd that i was in front of was 80 000 people which is huge wow but i'm not doing anything i'm not the dj i'm not speaking but i'm like going like this with my camera like trying to take photos because i remember like the feeling

Starting point is 00:28:16 is just insane it's overwhelming 80 000 yes wow uh it was a zed's dead set i love that or Tennessee I think okay in Tennessee yeah that's that's great I like all that music yeah I got the privilege of shooting their entire label that was playing at this festival called Bonnaroo I know Bonnaroo yeah Bonnaroo was just like huge so I was running around everywhere exhausted shooting everyone on the label including Zed's Dead and Nostalgics and a few other smaller artists yeah you know them but it was crazy but yeah that feeling of being on stage in front of them like it's it's it's like my favorite feeling but at the same time i'm like shaking and about to throw up and cry because i'm so nervous but i still love that feeling because you're pushing

Starting point is 00:29:00 yourself out of your comfort zone yes that discomfort yeah um how do you prepare for like getting in front of camera are you are you in front of camera now more than you were yeah as the photographer i'm like never behind the camera i'm always in front of it now yeah it's completely different um that got some taking used to I think I just probably got used to being in front of the camera like for the past two years there's a video of me in Paris um when I went and traveled there for a little bit where I'm like no no get the camera off me like no I don't want to like it was just a little awkward and didn't like it and then now I'm over here like filming myself front camera with the flash on in public like I don't care yeah um so that did take a lot of training

Starting point is 00:29:42 it wasn't even like it was actually unlearning certain patterns where I thought that I had to learn how to be better in front of the camera or learn this and there are some things we do have to learn but most of it was unlearning like you don't have to be embarrassed and you can have awkward pauses in front of the camera because guess what we're going to edit it and it went like who cares we're going to edit that out right so at the end of the day like that was probably one of the most important things that I did for myself when it came to what I do now Okay. So for the audience who are speakers, who are getting on stage or they're in front of cameras now, they're getting TV spots, what are three tips you can give them to showing up confident and like being comfortable enough? Yeah. I would say, see, I haven't really spoken in front of a bunch of people yet.

Starting point is 00:30:36 So I don't have the best advice for that because I speak, I mean, I guess the way that I speak to a bunch of people is by going viral. But to me, it's just me and the camera and I'm alone or I'm with friends. But when it comes to something like that, like something that's helped me is the feeling of anxiety and excitement are the exact same feelings. But anxiety is just the negative aspect, whereas excitement is like you're pumped. So if you're feeling anxiety, there's a way that you can transmute that energy into excitement and eventually you'll feel confidence when you continue to transmute that energy over and over again. So it's like more so training yourself and unlearning the things that are holding you back. Yeah. For sure.

Starting point is 00:31:16 No, that's so great. I mean, even like I'm sure getting on TV for the first time may have even experienced that. We were in front of – that whole thing was – it broke a world record for how many cameras were on us at all times. there was over a thousand cameras on us at all times what yeah and I was like okay this is kind of crazy and eventually like I forgot the cameras were there because we're there for a month but it was extremely overwhelming at first you know so I think uh what's that called what's the therapy called when you like push put yourself in your fear um I don't know it's like a conversion no it's not convert no it's something it's something therapy yeah it's like therapeutic to really put

Starting point is 00:31:56 yourself in places where you're super uncomfortable and like almost overdo it to the point where it doesn't even matter anymore oh yeah got it really push yourself that worked yeah it worked on like a thousand cameras i can handle bring it on yeah whatever yeah like yeah well that too and then also beast games was like globally like the number one most viewed game show in history so you have to be okay with being perceived you know in the way that you're going to be perceived yeah however you're going to be perceived but the one thing i learned is you can't control the way others feel look whatever about you right that's why the only opinion that really matters is your own and the way to like have that control over your energy is to focus within like you can't think

Starting point is 00:32:42 about what other people are thinking of you while you're talking to all the people you're going to mess up you got to really focus on that energy within so that whatever you're saying even if you're just rambling, it still aligns with you, like who you are. Yeah. The one thing that I've learned that has helped me with, and I'm still working through it guys, but is when I get in and I'm speaking, I got to get out of my head and into the emotion. So when you're up there like, oh, do I, am I memorizing my line? I'm going to fuck up. I'm going to get it. Yes. You're going to mess up. It's not going to be perfect. I can say the same speech over and over and over and practice and practice and i'm still gonna say it different every time but if i get out of my head

Starting point is 00:33:22 and into my i know my story get into the feeling of it that's when things start to come out right and that's you taking control of your energy that feeling i think that's really what energy is is feeling like because you can feel energy yeah yeah so feelings gotta be made of energy so that makes sense yeah i like that so next time or when you start to speak yeah just get in the feels yeah okay i mean it'll it'll come out like you i think what is happening is you're trying to make sure that you're delivering right but you'll know that after a little while it's just like okay right ahead yeah because people will feel that and they'll start paying attention to your energy that you're outputting not even just your words but like the energy behind them so

Starting point is 00:34:05 yeah that makes a lot of sense i appreciate you coming today i know it was like you know a little last minute but you were just like let's do this I need time you can hit me up like an hour before and I'll show up as long as I'm free girl I wish I could live my life like that but you know what I admire that oh thanks because I was there at one time in my life and now I have to really be disciplined with and be very like intentional with my minutes and my hours right I kind of can't wait to get there because I feel like I'm just a mess all over the place but I can do it you're thing though like you have to understand like who you are and this was has worked for you maybe it won't forever but right right now it's still good right now i'm chilling i'm grinding when i get

Starting point is 00:34:47 tired and gotta and you go to sleep yeah and then i go to yeah you're adult enough to listen to the things that you need right yes and then childlike enough to still enjoy the rest of life i love that i really yeah i mean being i'm like almost 30 like 28 years old yeah so i gotta you look young i do you don't act young okay good just look young like I couldn't I didn't want to ask because you know I don't care but yeah oh my gosh well thanks yeah I need to get my stuff together soon well because you're just popping off yeah you are like you're putting in the work like and you're also learning and listening to what you love to do oh my gosh there's no other way to go about life then you're just living for other people and that is no fun I used to be a people
