I didn't grow up driving. In Poland, I was terrified of it. But when I moved to the U.S. as an au pair, everything changed. My host families handed me the keys, first to a giant Chevy, then a little Honda, and eventually a Subaru I drove for years. All of them were given to me. I was still scared, still unsure, still depending on what was handed to me.In this episode, I take you through the timeline of how cars shaped my self-concept. From co-signing for my ex's Mercedes (and never driving it), to buying my first Range Rover in cash simply because I liked how it looked, even though I had no idea what I was doing. From forcing myself to drive into Manhattan every Friday for Landmark classes (because if I wanted to grow, I had to drive), to walking into a dealership after quitting my job and negotiating my first Mercedes with a female salesperson.And then came the G-Wagon. It wasn't about money, I could afford it. It was about visibility. About wondering if it was too much. But I got it anyway. That car became my armor, my office, my way of saying “I'm doing this, even if I'm still scared.” And I grew. Big time. Financially, emotionally, professionally. Until I didn't need the armor anymore.That's when I walked into Porsche, asked for exactly what I wanted, paid in full, and drove off in a car that felt like me. Not the version of me who needed to prove anything. The version who knows who she is.This episode isn't about cars. It's about expansion, ownership, and the physical things that can support your growth, if you're intentional. A Chanel bag won't make you confident. A Mercedes won't fix your self-worth. But if you're already evolving, the right container, whether it's a car, a move, or coaching, can help you step into it faster.If you're in a season of becoming and this resonates, reach out. ⁠⁠⁠https://monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals⁠⁠⁠

No matter how successful you are, the pitching never ends. Even the most seasoned TV creator has been known to melt down in front of their G-Wagon when they can't land a greenlight: “Why don't they just say yes?” Silicon Valley tech giants thought they could disrupt the “terrible business” of entertainment — less buying and selling, more ownership and verticality — which led to the streaming wars, and now a contracting industry where “the yeses just aren't coming.” Transcript here.

Wild episode today where the gang speak on so many things. Anthony Edwards paying 18 years of child support, How unhappy are Kenyan's and Marvin Sapp holding his church hostage. What is the world coming to LOL

“More Leaks,” the fourth compilation album by Baton Rouge rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again (Kentrell Gaulden), dropped on March 7, 2025, via Never Broke Again and Motown Records, serving as a gritty send-off before his anticipated prison release later that summer. Clocking in at 48 minutes across 16 tracks, this project arrived while YoungBoy was still incarcerated, serving a 23-month sentence for federal gun charges stemming from a 2020 arrest in Louisiana, with additional legal woes tied to prescription drug fraud in Utah. Billed by his team as his “last project” before freedom, “More Leaks” compiles previously teased snippets and unreleased cuts, offering fans a raw, unfiltered glimpse into his relentless creative output despite confinement.The album kicks off with “Trapped Out,” a menacing opener that sets the tone with booming 808s and YoungBoy's signature raspy aggression, reflecting the claustrophobia of his legal battles. Tracks like “Rich Junkie” and “Cut Throat” maintain this high-octane energy, driven by producers like D-Roc and Jason “Cheese” Goldberg, who amplify the trap-heavy sound YoungBoy's built his empire on. The lead single, “5 Night,” released February 28, 2025, pairs a hypnotic beat with visuals of YoungBoy dancing beside a G-Wagon, a stark contrast to his prison reality. Posts on X from fans like @YoungboySnippet highlight the vault's depth, with one noting, “Shows how crazy his vault is man, stuff [has] been getting leaked for months and still has songs which are very good.” Indeed, the title “More Leaks” nods to this chaotic rollout, embracing the flood of unofficial releases that have kept his name buzzing.While “More Leaks” lacks the polish of albums like “Sincerely, Kentrell” (2021), it compensates with raw intensity. Tracks like “Never Stopping” and “Meet the Reaper,” briefly available before being yanked from Spotify post-leak, resurface here, satisfying diehards who've tracked his every move. The production leans minimalist—think distorted bass and eerie synths—mirroring his isolated mindset, though some criticize its lack of variety. HotNewHipHop called it a “love-it-or-hate-it album,” noting its appeal to fans craving aggression over evolution. Features are sparse, with only a rumored Lil Baby verse on “Lost Soul” making the cut, keeping the focus squarely on YoungBoy's unapologetic delivery.Thematically, “More Leaks” wrestles with fame's weight and street loyalty, though introspection takes a backseat to bravado. Lines like “I'm still thuggin' ‘til I'm gone” from “Cut Throat” underscore his defiance, a sentiment echoed in his legal saga—pleading guilty yet dodging harsher penalties via a global settlement. Billboard reported its debut at #3 on the Top Rap Albums chart, a testament to his loyal fanbase, even as critics argue it's more a stopgap than a statement. Recorded partly before his December 2024 sentencing, the album's sound quality impressed peers like engineer Jason Goldberg, who lauded similar prison-recorded efforts on the “Ray Daniels Presents” show.As of March 27, 2025, with YoungBoy reportedly released early on March 24 from Talladega, Alabama, per HipHopDX, “More Leaks” bridges his incarceration and freedom. It's not his strongest work—lacking the cohesion of “Top” (2020)—but its chaotic energy mirrors his life, making it a fitting cap to a turbulent chapter.

How cool is that? Pretty, I think. Important message, guys. On October 23rd, Amazon is changing the window for which you can look back and claim that they owe you reimbursements for lost and damaged products at FBA warehouses. It used to be 18 months, but now it's going down to only 2 months. So, if you have never used a reimbursement service or Refund Genie, now is the time. Last week, I ran Refund Genie on two different accounts and got a total of over $5,000 back for those sellers. And don't forget, unlike a lot of services out there, Helium 10 doesn't take any commission on what we get back. If we say you're owed ten thousand dollars and you get back ten thousand dollars from amazon, you keep ten thousand dollars with no commission to Helium 10 at all. Refund Genie is now available to anybody who has a Helium 10 Platinum Annual Plan or higher. So, to get an estimate about on how much money you could get back, go to h10.me/refundgenie. If you've never used a Helium 10 coupon, use the code SSP10 to save money if you need to upgrade to a Platinum Annual Plan.   Bradley Sutton: Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast by Helium 10. I am your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show. That's a completely BS-free, unscripted and unrehearsed organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world, and we've got a couple of people here that are super, super old school here at Helium 10, including the one person, the only person who has been at the company here in United States side longer than me, and then another person who was one of my first hires here at Helium 10 just a couple months after I got started. So, Gulsen and Michelle, welcome back to the show.   Michelle: Hello   Gulsen: Hello   Michelle: wow, I feel so old.   Bradley Sutton: Well, hey, that's why I'm also I'm wearing the old school Helium 10 logo shirt here to kind of like reminisce about our old days, you know, way back then in the WeWork. Now I say welcome back to the show because there's been a huge gap since Michelle and Gulsen have been on the show the word now in episode I don't know like 580 something or 590 something. Their first time on the show was episode 86, way back in December of 2019. So, if you want to get a little bit more of their backstory, go ahead and see if you can find I don't even know if you can find such an old episode, but episode 86, where we had them and some of the other members of our crew all together on one episode. But I was like you know what? It's been years since you guys have come on and each of you have interesting things to talk about. So, let's go ahead and have you guys uh back on. So, first of all, um, let's start with uh, Gulsen. Now what about you? And you know you've since before you even worked at Helium 10. You know you've had like a family Amazon business. Um, ven offline, obviously you're my co-worker, but we've never really talked about that in a long time. Like, are you guys still selling on Amazon? You selling on other market? What have you guys been doing with that side of your things?   Gulsen: Yes, so you don't know this, but you know we were running that Amazon business with my husband and last year December we sold that one and the first call I received. Now my husband is building another brand.   Bradley Sutton: Well, hold on. I want to talk about that. I didn't know that you were right, I had brand and I want to talk about that. I didn't know that. You're right, I had no idea. So how did you find a buyer for the business? What was it like through an aggregator? Did you use a service or just networking?   Gulsen: Yeah, he was with a partner and um, he was always getting those questions like, um, if he ever likes to sell his shares and stuff, but at the time it was very good season to do that move last year December. So yeah, and it. You know it was very stressful and long journey for years but I'm so happy that we came to that ending and he took like a few weeks refresh and now he's on top of it another brand by himself right now.   Bradley Sutton: Okay, so what did he scale that brand to like? what was the peak yearly sales like approximately?   Gulsen: Yeah, so by the time he started it was about four hundred dollars per month.   Bradley Sutton: Four hundred thousand dollars ?   Gulsen: Four hundred Dollars.   Bradley Sutton: Four hundred. Oh, when he started, you said yeah, okay, I was like about to say well, who is buying an amazon business that grosses $400 a month, like good grief? Okay, that makes sense now. So that was when he started, and then he scaled it to what?   Gulsen: Yeah, the time he moved out that they were at monthly six figures.   Bradley Sutton: Oh wow. So definitely a seven-figure brand, oh yeah, that is pretty cool and then and then. So now he's starting from scratch or like something similar, or, and he's already launched, or he's just in the planning stage right now.   Gulsen: From scratch it's already launched and now, um, this time we just wanted to want it to be more on like brand side. We still use, of course, amazon and we will try to start selling on Walmart as well, but now we're just trying to be so heavy on Shopify, building the brand awareness, and then, of course, the goal is the goal again, selling it. But to me, you remember my Amazon account. I was so like a Grand Bazaar Amazon account. I still have it and still is my passion to find those seasonal items.   Bradley Sutton: But you're not still. Have you been off and on selling products on that account?   Gulsen: Yes, yes.   Bradley Sutton: Oh okay, I didn't know that. Okay, cool, but only seasonal.   Gulsen: Only seasonal and I know you don't really like it when you do Amazon for patient. But that account you saw that it's such a passionate account only the products I really like to spend my time on and not really that profitable, but still nice. And I feel like I still like to spend a lot of time on Black Box trying to find products and then search them on Alibaba, even if I'm not going to invest. I think it started to be like a habit for my life. And, yeah, the last time I found something it was a toy product. I never recommend anyone to, you know, join a toy business, but this one was crazy because, like it was selling on Amazon about like $26, the price to import and everything was about 450. So now it's just, you know, um, making my mind so busy like should I really launch a toy product? But it's so competitive and, yeah, I might be needing to pick your brain about it very soon.   Bradley Sutton: Okay, I thought you were saying you already did this. I was waiting for the results. This is what you're planning. What is something you've already done in the last year or so that really was a good experience? When you just found some random product and then it was able to sell during the season. Can you give an example?   Gulsen: Yeah, I can give you an example. What's so funny is I really like to look around a lot while shopping, like actual shopping, Like I'm touring the Costco, Sam's Club, these places and like Bluetooth Beanies. I don't know if you remember them.   Bradley Sutton: It's like you have a beanie, but then there's like headphones or something inside. Oh, okay.   Gulsen: Inside the beanie there were headphones and the first time I saw them like we were shopping on Sam's Club. The first time I saw them, we were shopping on Sam's Club and Charlie, my husband, he was telling me you know what? This product will go viral. And then we sourced it and, oh my God, it was such an amazing experience because that product really went viral.   Bradley Sutton: So, you sourced it, not to piggyback on the listing, but you made your own listing a brand new. You just found it in Alibaba. So how much did you sell of that product?   Gulsen: Yeah, during Christmas time we sold close to 1,000 units   Bradley Sutton: 1,000 units at what price?   Gulsen: I believe it was about $14,000, $14,000, $15,000.   Bradley Sutton: Okay, so a nice little five-figure a month there on one product or two.   Gulsen: yeah, it was amazing but, like I said, it was seasonal and now like I don't even think anyone is going to search for Bluetooth beanie, but we were one of the first listings on amazon selling that product.   Bradley Sutton: Nice so finding products at Sam's Club in Costco. I just go there for like free samples and a dollar 50 hot dog and stuff. But now, now I know I need to start looking out for products. All right, let's switch to Michelle now. So, Michelle, you know, in the beginning at Helium 10 and the last time you were on the podcast you like, like your experience with Amazon was pretty much just interacting with Helium 10 and interacting with, interacting with our customers. But now you're not necessarily an Amazon private label seller. But tell us what you are now in that definitely has to do with the Amazon ecosystem.   Michelle: Yeah, of course you know really quick. I wanted to say how far back I've been, you know, just to give some clarity for people listening. When I first started Helium 10, my daughter was eight months. She's going to be seven years old in November. So, this just goes to show like how old I am.   Bradley Sutton: I don't need any reminders for that.   Michelle: Yeah, I was just thinking about that and I was like, oh my gosh, it's been almost six going on seven years, so that's insane.   Bradley Sutton: That's crazy, that's great. And then I remember how it was like your desk was like behind mine, so I need to check on what you're doing. I just like turn around, we're all in that little, we work there. And then I got to move to like this little, literally a closet. You know, the affiliate team office was like this little that used to be a storage closet and then it became my office.   Michelle: And then what? Six or been very exciting, and I honestly love building relationships and speaking with different people around the world. It's awesome. So now what I'm doing is I've learned and I've kind of just jumped on ships with the Amazon. Influencers program is something that you don't need to really invest money in. It's more of just investing your time and basically you are reviewing products and then when you review them, you upload them to Amazon and Amazon does all the work for you and you just earn commission off anyone that watches your video.   Bradley Sutton: How do you even find out about that people are doing that, because I think nowadays some more and more people know about it, but like I didn't really know about it until somebody like I don't know maybe I saw a video on it or something but how do you even know that this was something that people do?   Michelle: Yeah, it's actually really funny. So, I was just searching, looking for new influence affiliates to join Helium 10 and you know, the algorithm just picks up and all of a sudden, you're seeing like people selling you courses and it's like, hey, the Amazon review program. And I was like, what is this? So, I dived into it and I just started following and I was like you know what? I've never been one to just like jump and, you know, spend a lot of money on products, but this seems like something I can do. And I did it kind of just more of like as a test and, um, it was, yeah, I got like approved right away and then I did the second approval and I got approved in that and now it's just putting videos up on Amazon and the more videos you put there, the more commission you make. And you know it really just depends on the type of video you make as well, of course, the quality and everything. But it's really fun and I feel like for me being like a really busy full-time mom um, and you know, working full-time this is something that I can do, that I don't have to just like run a business. It's just more of yeah fun on the side.   Bradley Sutton: yeah, like even us, you know amazon sellers, like we all have families, like this is something, and maybe your daughter is a little bit too young still, but you know this is something, is something that you know you got like teenagers or even, um, you know, maybe preteens a little bit. You could almost have them like make some of these uh videos and it's like something super simple. Obviously, you know adult needs to set it all up, but it's not like rocket science where you have to be a pro influencer. Uh, you know, in order to make these review videos, a lot of them are just like kind of like unboxing and how you're using it right.   Michelle: Yeah, you know what Funny thing is? My daughter got her first brand deal.   Bradley Sutton: Oh well, okay. Well, maybe she is old enough, I guess. Okay, my bad.   Michelle: Yeah, so there's. There's Amazon sellers looking for people to or, you know, other people to review their product. And one was a mom who just came out with a kid's face wash and she was like hey, I saw your daughter on Instagram. I would love for her to review my product. My daughter is all about skincare because of YouTube and she absolutely loved it. She did it and I just got another email yesterday from another seller who saw her video on that listing asking if they can review her skincare product now and I'm like wait, she's starting to get all these deals, she's only six.   Bradley Sutton: Wow.   Michelle: It is really cool. Of course, you know you need to be in it as a parent, but it is really fun and I've seen a lot of married couples, even like a husband will have his own and then the wife has her own and they just capitalize on that extra income.   Bradley Sutton: Interesting. Now, what's the? I mean, there's a difference, necessarily, between like, almost anybody can sign up to be an Amazon affiliate but then to be an Amazon influencer. Do they still require that you have some kind of social media account that has X number of followers? And then, if so, like what is that requirement?   Michelle: Yeah, so that's a great question. So many people get confused between the Amazon Associates program and that is basically offsite commission. You have to have a website; you get the affiliate link and then you basically drive traffic from your website to Amazon with the Amazon reviewers' program. That's onsite commission and you necessarily don't need a huge following on social media. You just need to have good engagement for the first two steps. So as long as you get engagement, you build your, your engagement, you sign up and you get approved, you don't even need to worry about that social platform anymore. It's just like building up that reviewer's videos and then just letting Amazon do that for you.   Bradley Sutton: Okay, excellent, excellent. Now, um, what was the very first video that you did Like? What was it for? Do you remember what it was?   Michelle: Yeah, so, amazon. In order for you to get approved for the second step you actually need very first video that you did like what was it for? Do you remember what it was? Yeah, so amazon. In order for you to get approved for the second step, you actually need to submit three product review videos. So, it's not only one, it's three. So, I did a dog uh feeder, so it's basically a dog bowl but like it has a puzzle inside for your dogs, um, to slow their feeding. And then then I did a Spanish book, and then I did a I don't want to say dupe, but I did a smart watch that you know looks like a brand name like Apple, and that actually got approval. So that got me three. That got my first three approvals for the Amazon reviewers' program.   Bradley Sutton: Your style of doing Amazon business, like why do you think this is kind of good? Like it's obviously not for the kind of person who's like trying to build up a brand and, you know, be able to exit like your husband did with his brand. But what kind of person is what your model is of? Like these seasonal products in here or there? Like are you even putting it on a brand registry or you're just doing generic brands? Or how are you doing these listings?   Gulsen: No, no brand. How are you doing these listings? No brand registry. And I think that what I'm doing is great for who is working like typical 9 to 5 that would like to get extra site income. And also, like you know, before working at Helium 10, I did supply chain my entire life, so I'm so close to those sourcing agencies or the places in like. I'm originally from Turkey. I know a lot of Turkish manufacturers. Plus, I have very good experience in Far East so it's so easy for me to source products. So, I feel like it is mixed for me. If you really like sourcing trying to find new people on the manufacturing end or sourcing end and if it's giving you pleasure, then that's great because then the money comes itself. But it's not something that you can quit working on your corporate and rely on those seasonal items.   Bradley Sutton: now, for example, that, what do you say? beanie, Bluetooth, Bluetooth, beanie, whatever it's called? Um, you know, you, you grossed I don't know fifteen thousand dollars, twenty thousand dollars or whatever from it. Yeah, was that all one order from the manufacturer and you only did one? And then, if so, like what was that initial investment? Like landed to amazon, like the price of the products and then the importation, and landed to Amazon, like, how much did you invest in that project?   Gulsen: It was like we created two orders the first order, it's like it was gone like in the very first month and a half, and then, since we foresee it, we had to place another order and we did the same quantity and I think we invested about maybe $7,000 in total.   Bradley Sutton: In the first order and both orders together.   Gulsen: The first order, like both orders together, could be around 14K, but it includes everything. Everything like it's includes about two thousand of those Bluetooth beanies and the import and the shipping. So, we had to act quick so we couldn't really do a vessel.   Bradley Sutton: Wait, the first order was 2,000 units   Gulsen: It was 1,000 and 1,000.   Bradley Sutton: Okay so you have, you sold all of them?   Gulsen: yeah, so the first.   Bradley Sutton: I thought you only sold 1000 units. You actually sold 2000 units.   Gulsen: it was during Christmas time. We sold about 1000 and that's why we were so high and excited. We ordered the second order and then those um the remainders. I think we have left about like 300 pieces left and then we started to get orders, maybe once a week and like bi-weekly.   Bradley Sutton: No, not so yeah you sold way more than like 20. You know like we're talking more like 20, 30 000, so seven thousand dollars to invest. And then are you just doing the regular private label ways to get on page one like, hey, I'm gonna run some PPC and try, I mean like that's how you did it.   Gulsen: Yeah, we were so lucky because we were one of the first listings, as I said, and organic, we were already on the page one for that Bluetooth beanie. But then of course you know how it goes Competition comes so crucially and we had to run PPC but still it wasn't that competitive because we were there at the beginning and we sent all inventory to FBA but then we had to take some inventory back and started to sell the rest as FBM.   Bradley Sutton: You should see me about those. I'll start shipping them for you. You can pay my kids to do that. Okay, so then I mean, that's fascinating. I don't know how I didn't know all of this stuff that you're doing. Yeah, you know what.   Gulsen: Funny enough. Actually, it's not about me, but again, like with my husband. Do you remember those fidget spinners?   Bradley Sutton: Yes, yes.   Gulsen: Yeah, he was also like one of the first listings with those fidget spinners on Amazon. Like I think he has a good sense of finding what will come to be a buy.   Bradley Sutton: Well, how did you and he validate that thing? Because you know like it's different when you're trying to be the first kind of like we were kind of like the first coffin shelf. You know there's not like a bunch of data where it's like oh, I know all the main competitors and what they're ranking for and stuff. So, what did you guys use to validate? Like, did you buy some from Costco and just put it up and do a test listing to see how it goes? Or how did you have the con? I mean, cause $7,000 is still $7,000. You know that's a lot of money. Like you got to have some kind of confidence that you're going to be successful. So, if you couldn't see other beanie uh, Bluetooth, Bluetooth beanies, people having confidence what numbers or what were you looking at that made you go ahead and pull the trigger on that order?   Gulsen: Yeah, the thing is I can source those products so quickly because of my connections. So, with that fidget spinner we didn't really do any drop shipping. We just found the manufacturer and I still doubt it was the manufacturer. I still feel like we were talking to a trader at that time. But we got the products in like in 10 days when we decided to go.   Bradley Sutton: Oh, no, the beanie, though that's the one I'm wondering. Yeah, the beanie, you saw it in Sam's Club. It's not like hey, let me go to. Oh, there's a nice product Sam's Club, let me go ahead and drop $7,000. I'm sure you must have done some kind of research or something to take a look.   Gulsen: Yeah, so, uh, what was really very surprising to me when you go to Alibaba or like, let's say, DHgate, and search for some products, you would see tons of manufacturer putting the same picture of the product and selling them. That time, when we check for the Bluetooth beanies, we only sold two, two manufacturers on Alibaba and at that time I was like wow, like this is amazing, because the manufacturers are not just saturating the market. Yes, so it was one of the insights for me. And the second one was it was I believe it was right before the Halloween and you know, like during Christmas times. It's amazing product that you can put in those stockings and not very expensive, but still, it would make your grandchildren so happy to have a gadget like that. It's great if you're like, if you do ski, snowboarding and stuff, you don't really worry about you. So, we believe in the product too.   Bradley Sutton: But was there a search volume at the time, like was anybody searching that at all in Helium 10? Or there wasn't even search volume for that keyword yet.   Gulsen: I don't remember that we saw a huge amount of search volume.   Bradley Sutton: interesting, all right. So, hey, like that's really getting ahead of the, you know, similar to like what we did with the wooden egg tray in project X, where there was nobody searching for wooden egg tray but we're like, hey, I think this is going to be a hot product. All right, that's very interesting, I like that method. Now going back to Michelle, um, let's say I start my, my um influencer account. Would you suggest the first thing to do which actually is me I've had, because, I don't know, I'm lazy, I guess, but like should is the first thing I should do is just go around my house and look at stuff that I bought from Amazon or that stuff that exists on Amazon and start making videos of those things? Is that like a good first step for somebody just getting started?   Michelle: yeah, so not a lot of people know this, but Amazon has it. Use your phone, the Amazon scanner app, and you can go around your house and scan anything and then you find stuff that are actually being sold on Amazon. And I do that. And when I first started, I did a lot of my higher ticket items. So, like my bed frame I got on that wasn't on Amazon and I checked and it was. I'm sorry I didn't get it from Amazon, but when I checked it was on Amazon and so I reviewed it. And then I reviewed like my sofa. My couch was there. I got my couch from an outlet and my couch was also on Amazon. So, I would say to focus on like your higher ticket items, but then also mix it up and do some mid-level, like $20, $30, $40, because those are what's going to give you commission. And if you start a lot of people focus on like really small items, like $10, $12, you're only going to see change. So, you want to have a mix of both and the more videos you bring in, the better. I would also say to look at your like how many influencer videos are there right? Like you don't want to review a product and there's so many review videos that you're not even going to be seen, so that's something else to look out for.   Bradley Sutton: Like what's the best opportunity? Like obvious, it's like, is it something that's selling really well, so that you know there's a lot of you know people getting on that page, and at the same time, maybe like there's not that many influencer videos on that page? Like, is that how you prioritize it? Like, let's say, you could do like 30 things and you're like, okay, how do I know which ones I should do first Because I can get the most money? Would that be what you're looking at, or is there other factors involved too?   Michelle: Yeah, so I try to see how many product listings there are. So, I'll give you an example. Like the smartwatch that I did, that was one of my like it's still actually selling really well and because there's multiple, actually there's only like 50 or 100 people buying it per month from what Amazon showed, but there's a lot of sellers that had it as well, and so I realized that people were watching my video and then they were going on to another listing and then they were like, okay, I really want to get this watch, and then they were just purchasing it. So that's one way. So, you also just want to make sure that there's demand for it, like people are buying it. Right, if you have a rug and you're going to review it and you go in and like there's bad reviews, it says from Amazon, this product is most likely going to get returned, probably not the best one you want to start with.   Bradley Sutton: My next question, uh, would be is just, you know, to give people an idea of the potential here? um, what are some success stories you've heard about, like how much money people are making? And then you, your exact example. You obviously work full-time for Helium 10, so it's not like you're just sitting in your house all day doing video I hope not, otherwise our boss might not be happy about that but you're just doing it here and there in your spare time. Since you already have a full-time job, how much are you grossing every month from this?   Michelle: Yeah, so Amazon's commission is uncapped. You can basically make as much. I just recently started, June, and I'm already about last month I made $600 and then all together it's probably about a thousand, but it hasn't even been a full three months. So, you know, with and I only have a hundred and like 60 videos on my Amazon storefront. So of course, the more videos I'm going to have, the more I'm going to be able to make. I I'm in a lot of Amazon reviewer groups and people make who've been there for like 12 months a year two years can make at least three to $6,000. So, like my goal is to put as many videos as possible and I'm trying to get to like 500 videos for Christmas, because I know that during Christmas time it's going to be really busy. So, I'm really excited to see if I can get at least up to two to three thousand dollars by Christmas in a month.   Bradley Sutton: How much time does it take you to make these videos? Because I know like they actually don't necessarily need like super crazy professional video production and seven different scenes and Steven Spielberg quality. But it's like you just use your cell phone, if I'm not mistaken, right, and then and then what program are using for like cut it up and then put some like captions, and is that basically it? So, what's the time constraint? And then, what are the tools you're using to, to, to put it all together?   Michelle: So that's a great question. Because I'm such a you know I'm busy, everything. I try not to put as much time into this and you really don't because people want to see reviews that are very authentic. They don't want to see like commercials or advertisements, they want to see real people making reviews. So, I just scan it. If I see that it's on Amazon, I will quickly get my water bottle, or if it's a product of a water bottle, quickly get it. Put my phone, place it so I can see myself in it and make a quick 30 to 45 second review video. Make sure the audio is good and I use CapCut. Capcut is free. You can also purchase it and I purchased it because you can enhance your audio, you can clean it up and you can also slice it up. So, in all, it takes me maybe like five minutes per video per product, because you get better as you go and then you just float.   Bradley Sutton: Awesome, awesome, okay, cool, I'm going to get my kids started on that then. Now let's switch gears and talk about what you guys do here, because this is another way that people can make money without having to invest too much money and that's being an affiliate. And so, let's just talk about the extreme, just to get people excited here. Some affiliates here at the company how much money are they grossing? How much money is Helium 10 paying them per month in additional things like cars and stuff like that? So just like get people excited about this subject.   Gulsen: It's really crazy, because some affiliates are making about $70,000 per month.   Bradley Sutton: From Helium 10? Okay, I might be in the wrong position here. What in the actual heck? I had no idea.   Gulsen: But it's not that, so we also pay for their cars.   Bradley Sutton: What are some cars that we're paying for people.   Gulsen: What I remember, we have like one, I believe, Tesla Model S and G-Wagon and a Mercedes, RV minibus and yeah, these are the ones.   Bradley Sutton: In addition, making tens of thousands, even up to 70,000, that okay. Now I think we have you got my attention already, like I didn't even know that we were at that level yet, and so okay. So, what about you know what? What are the ways that that that people are getting to that level? Obviously, no, we're not going to sit here and say, hey, anybody can just make $70,000 a month from Helium 10. But basically, how are they doing something like that? Either of you can answer this.   Gulsen: Yeah, it is. If you have an audience this is only what matters engaged audience you can be a very popular YouTuber, you can be running a course, you can be a great blogger, or you're just someone spreading the word about how to sell on Amazon and the software that's helping with it. Because we pay lifetime recurring commission 25% and on top of the commission we have extra rewards. I'd like Michelle to talk about them yeah.   Michelle: So I will say, some of our top affiliate, like producers, that we pay out high commission, it's because our program is so lucrative and, again, it's 25 lifetime commission. So, some of our affiliates have been here for three, four years and they're still making commission with us on top of the extra bonus program rewards that we're paying for their cars or we're paying for their restaurant dinners, like we pay for so many things. And I also want to clarify, like we don't only pay out top affiliates, like we have a bonus reward program that also pays our smaller guys, like if you're just starting out, we're actually going to update our program, so you're going to receive $500 just for bringing in 10 new subs.   Bradley Sutton: I think what you know, one thing that I want to double click on right there that you said is like the lifetime commission. So, theoretically, you know, let's say, I have this channel where I'm talking about Amazon, but, for whatever reason, I'm like you know what? YouTube shut me down. I no longer have a YouTube channel; I'm just going to stop this. But I had signed up 100 people to Helium 10. Let's just say it's the cheapest plan, so they're paying Helium 10. Those 100 people are paying Helium 10 100 times $100. Okay, all right. So hey, wait, wait, hold on, I'm going to. I'm about to do some advanced math here. So those customers are paying helium 10, $10,000 a month, but every month the affiliate is getting 25%, right? Yeah, so then that's a wait 0.25 times 10,000 is they're getting a check for $2,500 a month. But let's say, today my YouTube channel shut down and it shut down for a year, next year. Let's just say, if those hundred people are still paying Helium 10, they never even did anything, they didn't make one more video, they didn't like help these people at all. They're still getting a check for $2,500 a month, every month from now until infinity, as long as those members. So that that that's that. That that's what I think is really good about our, our system.   Bradley Sutton: Now, uh, Michelle, you know, we obviously talked about one side of the spectrum where it's big influencers or people who have this big course or big YouTube channel or something. Obviously, it's a no brainer to sign up, you know, to be an affiliate, because instantly they're probably going to start making tons of money just because they're going to be able to sign up people. But again, we're talking this episode is kind of like about making money without too much investment. What if I'm just an average Joe? Maybe I'm just an average Joe Helium 10 user out there I know Helium 10 well or I'm just listening to this podcast somehow and I don't have a YouTube channel. I don't have a big popular blog or, you know, Instagram, with a hundred thousand followers. What's a way that I can scale up? I mean, I can still be an affiliate even if I have nobody just at least get started. But how can I scale up my platform in order to start building up? How much Helium 10 is paying me?   Michelle: Yeah, so that's a really good question. I would say consistency, and that goes for everything that you do, right. If you are an average girl, like we've seen this. Like we have people sign up and they don't have like a big platform. However, like they're consistent with growing their audience, whether they you know what I decided I'm going to be a YouTuber. Now I'm going to start posting YouTube videos consistently and on top of that, I'm going to start posting Helium 10 demos, because I am a Helium 10 wizard, so why not share my knowledge? Or I'm going to start my own community on Facebook. Um, and they're consistent with growing their audience. They can eventually start growing commission, because all it takes is one person to get inspired and sign up for Helium 10 with your affiliate link and then, all of a sudden, it's three months in, you're like 10, 15, 20. And you're already, like you said, grossing like $2,500. And you haven't even done much. And you know, like I said, it's really about consistency and it's really fun, because I enjoy speaking with a lot of these smaller affiliates and encouraging them and then seeing their growth. It's insane.   Bradley Sutton: Maybe I don't even have plans for making a community, but I mean, I guess theoretically, hey, I'm in, I'm in Facebook groups or uh, I post in in in X, uh, you know, like threads about, you know, formerly Twitter and as far as Amazon, I'm on Reddit and stuff like I could just share the coupon code here and there when people talk about it, and even without either, like being an influencer, I could be making commission. I just sign up. One person sees that code. You know that maybe my Reddit post is indexed by Google and then somehow somebody lands on it and I never even touched that person or had anything to do with them. They thought they use my code. I've got that revenue for life. So that's, that's something guys out there. You know you don't have to be some big influencer. If you're just a regular Helium 10 user and you know you have friends interested in Helium 10, give them a discount. You know, get a discount code Affiliates get discount codes that other people can't get and you're helping your friend out and now you're going to you know what.   Michelle: Let me just join, for instance we just had a webinar and Riley was in it and he taught, talked all about q4 and how to you know create a good listing for q4, how to prepare. That was a webinar and now they have the opportunity to share an affiliate link with their friends or family there and who, anyone else that they know who's selling on Amazon. And if that person decides like hey, this was a really great webinar, I, I really need Helium 10 now because I want to make sure my listing is great, like, oh, now there's a coupon code attached, so just like that, just by sharing a resource and how Helium 10 can help, they can easily earn and make money with it.   Bradley Sutton: that's a good point because it's not like, oh, I need to be a Helium 10 expert or an Amazon expert. If you've got the audience, like actual evangelists like myself, Carrie, Shivali, we'll go on the channel like, hey, we'll do a video and you don't even need to bring the expertise, because we've got it and you just provide the audience. And then I wish I need to arrange something. These affiliates are making so much money and I'm the one who's doing these videos and I'm not seeing any part of this. Something doesn't feel fair there. But anyways, take advantage of it guys. Take advantage of it. I'm not getting any money, but I'll be supporting there. Gulsen. Anything else to say about our affiliate program?   Gulsen: Yeah, I think our affiliate program is offering money and also offering a bunch of information and the trends. So, we're like at Helium 10, we are not just like, hey, promote us and get the commission. We are helping a lot for our affiliates to grow. So, some real-life experiences like one of our affiliate's accounts get hacked and he was having hard time dealing with Google so we were there for him and we helped him to get his account back. Or I was on a call with one of our affiliates chief marketing officers because he was curious about the latest trends and I was giving him my two cents about what they should be else doing to boost their reach, like getting more students.   Bradley Sutton: Haven't some like giving you access to like their YouTube channel and you go in there and optimize. Like you're literally in their YouTube and fixing for them and stuff like that.   Gulsen: I didn't want to talk about that one, but yes, this happened as well. Yeah, so, like Helium 10 is the only platform where you have your dedicated account manager. We are not a platform like your account is managed by a team of VAs or you're just talking to some AI generated chat box, so it's like you work with us and you also have a marketing manager that you don't need to pay. So that's why I really find it very beneficial for our affiliates. And the other thing is we work with thousands of affiliates and we know we see what's working, and we see what used to be working before but not anymore, or what's failing. So, it's good that we have this experience without really facing the actual work. So, it's always good to share what's working with our other partners to help them grow and win together.   Bradley Sutton: So, if you guys want more information, want to sign up right away there's no sign-up charge or no entry fee or anything like that. Just go to h10.me forward, slash, crush it, crush it. Two words, but it's together, no spaces. H10.me forward, slash, crush it and sign up. If there might be a little box that says, how did you find out about this or something, make sure to say that you heard about it on the podcast. Right before I started at Helium 10, I actually had signed up to be a Helium 10 affiliate and then Michelle was like my affiliate manager and stuff. So, yeah, we've come full circle here, but I want you guys to go ahead and crush it as well on there. So that's super cool. And then remember, guys, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. You know we've got affiliates in in Pakistan and Tajikistan and Japan and Korea, and I think the only country we don't have affiliates is North Korea. So, every other country in the world we've got affiliates because you know you've got an audience everywhere there and obviously Helium 10 works in so many different countries. So, make sure to sign up, all right, guys.   Bradley Sutton: So, uh, one more note is where you know Michelle is actually going to be doing like a little mini course in helium tend to help people learn more about being an Amazon influencer, so be on the lookout for when that, uh, when that comes out, and Gulsen is going to be working on the course of Turkish cooking for Helium 10. I'm just playing, but, uh, we'll have to think of a course that you can, uh, you can make for us too. But, thank you, thank you both, so much for uh coming on here. It's great to see, uh, you know people who were there from almost day one, uh, from when I started here at Helium 10, and, and we're the, we're, we're going to be like the trio here who keeps on going to, are doing.   Michelle: Thanks, Bradley, thank you for having us.

Nothing like an 11 year-old ordering a brand new G-Wagon! It's today's Phone Jenks!

In this episode, Summer shares a powerful lesson about focusing on your own life and growth instead of comparing yourself to others. Through a captivating story and insightful reflections Summer talks about how we can overcome jealousy and find true happiness and success, by channelling our energy into our own journey, not chasing an illusory perfect life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Comparing yourself to others and their seemingly perfect lives is a waste of energy that could be used to improve your own life. The grass is greener where you water it so focus on nurturing your own growth and happiness. Everyone regardless of wealth or success, faces problems and struggles that money cannot solve. Pain and challenges are opportunities for growth and evolution, not obstacles to a perfect life. Success is the result of hard work, consistency, and learning from failures, not overnight luck. Wishing blessings and success upon others attracts positivity and blessings into your own life. You are the creator of your life – take responsibility and put in the work to achieve your goals. Jealousy dissipates when you understand the effort and challenges people face to reach success. BEST MOMENTS  "If people focus on their own life instead of worrying about mine, they might have a G-Wagon too." "The grass is not greener on the other side. It is in fact greener where you water it." "Pain and problems are put there as a tool to evolve because the easy days are not where the growth comes from." "You are the creator of your life. You are not getting any further ahead looking at someone else's life." "If you knew the things it took for people to be where they are, your jealousy would hugely disintegrate." HOST BIO I am Summer. A spiritual being having human experiences. From the age of 11 I have been obsessed with all things self- development; looking at it from every angle, in pursuit of finding answers for my life. Like all other humans I am figuring out. Along the way I have discovered knowledge and concepts that have changed my existence and helped navigate my youth. The process of learning and undoing, growing and evolving has lead me right here.

Today the guys race against the clock as Sami gets locked in an air-tight room with enough oxygen for only 45 minutes of recording. During this time, the guys have to talk about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport that Benjamin recently tested. Totally redesigned for this year, the Taco has a new engine, design and interior which all had an interesting impact on Benjamin during his test drive. The guys also talk about suspension, cargo preferences, and fake trim bits during this review of the mid-size truck. Then the conversation shifts to the recently announced 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, which gets the look of the outgoing TRX but with a smaller engine. That news is followed up with the reveal of the 2025 Mercedes Benz G 580 With EQ Technology, an all-electric version of the beloved G-Wagon, and maybe the best looking EV at Mercedes. Then the guys chat about Ford's EV woes and their new strategy of making smaller, more affordable cars. Who'd've thunk it? Thanks for listening!

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 0:47  Hey, Be It babe, welcome back to the Be It Till You See It podcast. This is Fuck Yeah Friday this is the time we celebrate your wins we celebrate one of mine and we inspire everyone around us to start celebrating wins because why? Why do we celebrate wins it creates dopamine in the brain just makes you feel freakin good. And do you know what dopamine does? It makes it really easy to create a habit around celebrating but also did you know that it's what's needed around to avoid procrastinating? Did you know that? Procrastinating and it's not at all has nothing to do with your character. It has everything to do with dopamine, a few other hormones, which is quite fucking awesome. I had a whole I did a whole webinar on this. But that's another topic for another day. I'm gonna celebrate one of your wins, some of mine. And then I want to hear your wins. So the more you send them to me, the more I can share it with you. All right, so here we go. Let's pull up your wins. Lesley Logan 1:33  All right, we have Sonia Ahmed, she shared been more consistent with posting on Instagram and writing blogs had another couple of signups via my landing page for interest on a future project that they might think it's free question question. So not sure if I'll get signups but it tells me that people are interested. And I'm finally going for something that's just been on idea for the past couple of years. Way to go, Sonia I friggin love it. I know it's been an idea of yours for a really long time. It's really scary to start something new, especially if you don't have the audience for it yet. So way to go. She's got one more win though, guys. Here we go. She met with her eLevate partner, Jane, in London for lunch. It was fabulous. Thanks, LL, for connecting us we spent three hours talking nonstop and not once about Pilates. So Sonia Ahmed is an Agency and she's an eLevate grad, she's in eLevate round two with Jane. And I just absolutely adore both of these women. And I fucking love that they met because of Pilates and they hung out and they didn't talk about Pilates at all. And I also just want to say that I love that they're such she's celebrating a win about Mini and someone in real life. That's really beautiful. Did you did you realize you can celebrate even coffee with a friend? Because you can. That's a win. That's a win. It's absolutely a win to celebrate the things that you do everyday. There's so many things that you do, get done, that do happen, that you do that scare the fuck out of you but you do them. Lesley Logan 2:54  So my win is my birthday. It's my birthday. I'm 41 years old. And one of my biggest wins about turning 41 Is that I fucking love that it's my birthday. I'm not shying away from being 41. I love telling people how old I am. I don't even feel old, by the way. And I don't think 41 is old. But I absolutely love sharing it. There's a few things that I think are really important for me to talk about, money and age. And what happens as we age. Oh my gosh, what happens as we age. And so I'm so grateful because I have a lot of friends who have always been older than me. And I love that they share with me their perimenopause stories because I am prepping for that now because of them. I love that long time ago, people were like, oh, I started eating more protein. I wish like it did this and this is how it helped me. And so here I am my win is that I'm 41, very proud about being 41. I think it's really easy on your birthday to focus on all the things that you thought you'd have by now. Like I definitely thought I'd have a G-Wagon by now. There was a time when I thought I should have a G-Wagon before I turned 40. But actually, I'm so absolutely fucking proud of being 41 and being exactly where I am. Because everything that has helped me get here, every single obstacle and trust me there are some I would never want to relive ever a day in my life. But they've all helped me get here and be there to support you and the people around me and myself. And so that's my win. Lesley Logan 4:21  It's my birthday and I've got a lot of great ideas and a lot of things I want to do. There are some things that scare the fuck out of me. Like I have a humongous goal when it comes to making an impact on this planet of 50,000 people doing Pilates. Right? That's huge. And so I'm constantly thinking like how can I do that? How can I do that? Which is one of the reasons why I coach business fitness instructors and Pilates instructors because I can't actually teach off a few thousand people and they could probably in millions, right? But part of getting to that number sooner is helping other teachers teach the people that they are the most important people to teach like they're the best ones out there for that. So I'm super, super stoked to support them. It's also why eLevate exists because I'm so many teachers have impostor syndrome and spend way too much time over-talking, over-correcting and over-planning. And not listening to their gut and they lose their confidence that way. And so we do OPC because that's where I hope 50,000 people to fly someday with an amazing community when that be cool, so cool. Oh my God, I feel it. It could be possible. Lesley Logan 5:29  So yeah, Fuck Yeah Friday, it is my big vision. It's my birthday. I'm proud to be another year older. And I'm so grateful that you listen to this podcast and let me share some wins. And so, last week, I've totally got so excited forgot the affirmation. So why don't I give you two this week? Okay. Asking for help is a sign of self-respect and self-awareness. Oh my gosh, what a great affirmation. Because you know what some of the things you want to do in this life you got to do with others. In fact, life is boring alone. Do it with others. So asking for help is a sign of self-respect and self-awareness. What? Yeah, it is. So love that one. Lesley Logan 6:12  And then the second one I'm gonna give you is I affirm and encourage others as I do myself. So not only, my loves, are you going to ask for help because it's a sign of self-respect and self-awareness. But also, you affirm, encourage others as you do yourself. Thank you so much for listening to podcasts. And until next time, Be It Till You See It.

Jim Carrey says when there's an opportunity and it presents itself to you, I do not want you to think about what's on the other side of the door. What I want you to do is walk through the door. Just walk through the door because the universe, all the things on the other side, if they open the door for you are going to take care of you.Lesley Logan 0:25  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:06  Hey, Be It babe. I am so freakin' stoked for this incredible interview that's about to come up. We talk a lot of things about women, charging are worth, stepping into the rooms. It is going to be an inspirational conversation. I hope you yell and shout out and clap along with the interview the whole time and make sure that you tell us exactly what your favorite parts were. Because my guest today, Monica Linda of Girl Squad Media and I want to hear that from you. It's going to make us dance for you. And we also want to hear about the well I'm not going to spoil the whole thing when you get to the end, when you do the Be It Action Item. We're gonna want to know where you went. All right loves, here is Monica Linda. Lesley Logan 1:44  Welcome back, Be It babes. I am, I can't even wait, she's already laughing. I can't even wait you guys. I have an in-house guest. I think I'm going to start doing this more often. I'm gonna be really honest. It's so much more fun. We just wrapped an incredible photoshoot. I wrote 10 on my stories. I don't know maybe it's 15. Maybe it's 100. It's unclear. I'm so grateful for this one to be in my life. The last time you heard her was on episode number nine, (inaudible). And we got to hear how she was really being it till she saw it as a photographer. And now years later, well, two years later from the podcast, but also, we've known each other since 2019. And just really seen what you have done with your business. I have to bring you back and I want today's podcast, Monica Linda of Girl Squad Media to be I want it to be conversation but I can't wait for us to talk about women in business and women's service businesses because as we know, we set around rates and that's not always liked by people. So Monica Linda, in case anyone hasn't heard episode nine. Tell everyone who you are and what you slay at.Monica Linda 2:53  Monica Linda, I'm from Girl Squad Media. I'm the founder. And we work with women to help them generate images that increase their revenue. Lesley Logan 3:02  Yeah. And they do. Monica Linda 3:05  And they do. And they do. Every time.Lesley Logan 3:07  And sometimes I just take photos for my 40th birthday invitations.Monica Linda 3:13  Because I'm obsessed with Lesley Logan style.Lesley Logan 3:16  I'm obsessed with Monica Linda's amazing talent. Okay, so, um, you how long you've been a photographer? And can we talk a little about the journey because when I met you you are a rising star. You're a fucking star now I mean, like phenomenal. I mean, Ed Mylett, Candy Valentino, Lesley Logan, Lori and Chris Harder. You we can name-drop some more and the fucking NFL. Yeah. But like, when we met you were still doing only branding photography, not video content. At the time, reels weren't a thing, guys. And you were in a business coaching group with me and you are working towards things. What has the journey been like since 2019 to today? Like how did like what's the tell us a little bit about that as a whole mental process and a lot of changes to your business. So how did it go?Monica Linda 4:07  It has been it has been crazy. It has been up down. But still on time and on path. Like I hadLesley Logan 4:15  Don't you hate when it's like on time because it wasn't on? Yeah, we look back and go that was the right timing. Like in the time you're like what is going on? Monica Linda 4:23  What is going on? I had no idea but it just seems like it's so right on time. I even had that moment last night where I thought to myself, it is awesome to feel steel because I check in with myself all the time. As our client rosters get bigger as we sign bigger contracts with people that literally I would never dream of working with as that continues to happen. I continue to ask myself, Am I still on the right path and it still feels it still feels good? So we just we just keep going forward. I I've never really had like I know a lot of people have business plans, but I'm really intuitive about what feels right.Lesley Logan 5:04  Yeah, I hear you on that. Actually, let's just we'll just have a little bit on that. Because the banks love the business plan.Monica Linda 5:10  I mean, let me take that back. I have a business plan. Yeah. But I'm saying like, I've never started from the beginning and said, I want to photograph Karol G. and Coldplay in concert. That's not on my list.Lesley Logan 5:21  I know. But I but it's happening. I saw I saw you're gonna be at the Coldplay concert. You're, you're doing some stuff? Yeah. Yeah.Monica Linda 5:30  Yeah. Like, like that kind of stuff is not on my list. But the business plan is there for sure.Lesley Logan 5:35  Yeah, I think that that's I thank you for bringing that up. Because I think sometimes we get a I do. I do love prompts for making visualization work and manifestation work. And I do love a vision board. But I also think that sometimes a vision board rules can be a rules. I guess. It's just like directions, not rules. Can there? I do love specifics. I think it's really important to be specific when it's talking about like, who am I talking to in my business? Like, who am I doing this for? Like, you're very specific who you're doing for you. We all just heard what that was. Right. Right. Lesley Logan 6:06  But with my vision boards that I made in 2013, like they were kind of imagery, as opposed to like, specific. I didn't put a brunette guy. Yeah, right. Yeah, on my vision board. But I put me in, I put a visual of a couple in love in the center with rose gold rings. I didn't know exactly who that was going to be. Yeah. So like, I couldn't put something down that I hadn't met yet. And I think sometimes we get a little hung up. Like, I've got to get Oprah on my podcast. And it's like, yeah, yeah, love Oprah on my podcast. But here's some five people that I think I could probably get right now if I really nailed them. And Oprah should be asking me to be on my podcast. Oprah's people just saying, if you're listening, you can ask me. But I think it's like being open to surprises, but being specific enough and the in the nearest future. So some people have a hard time thinking 10 years ahead. And banks love a plan. They don't want to give you money if you don't have a plan. They don't want to actually give a lot of people money, I'm being really honest. No bank has given me any money. Thank God for the COVID SBA loan. Monica Linda 7:17  For sure, for sure.Lesley Logan 7:18  That was the only one there. Like do you want money? I'm like, I'll take it for I was like, how much like take all of it? How much? They may never offer us it again?Monica Linda 7:27  What is the max? Lesley Logan 7:28  So you have a business plan, but you haven't been specific like Coldplay wasn't on your list. What? What? What are some things that were on your list that you can't even believe happened? And what are some things that like, are just surprises along the way? Monica Linda 7:42  You know, I feel like I don't know if this is too woowoo. But this is really how it happens for me. I feel like as I become brighter as Monica Linda, my clients become brighter. Yeah. And I didn't mean for that to happen. But I'm finding that the bigger the client, the bigger the pay date, like all the things are, we've heard other people talk about this, it really is equivalent to how I feel about myself how I feel about my business, how I feel about not being an imposter that I do belong at the table. Like the more I'm really settling into that. The clients get bigger, and I'm not meaning to do that. But I'm almost playing a really fun game. Of I'm like, how bright can we really get?Lesley Logan 8:37  So I actually think that's really cool. I think like, no one means the brighter but like, isn't it way more fun? Monica Linda 8:45  Yeah, yeah. And it's also it's also I feel like it's a life. It's a life journey for me because I've come such a long way, that it always shocks me that I still have, I have that much more to work out. Like, I feel like I'm going to continue to try to be more of myself and brighter for the rest of my life. I don't think I'll ever really get there. But it is scary and terrifying. And also kind of cool. If you can like notice it's happening at the same time. Lesley Logan 9:12  Yeah, I love that. You mentioned something like the more you shine the caliber of client, you bring in shines, and something that I, we're in the service industry, obviously different services. But the truth is, is that like, we set our rates, there isn't there's there are costs of the businesses that we do. But there's also it's most of it is to our time. And so you're putting price on the same minutes that everyone has in a day. And so you have to value yourself a certain rate to create a value for those minutes. And it can be difficult to place value on those minutes because like oh my god, are they especially as a woman this because we've been raised this way. Are they gonna like me? I think I'm not enough for this. And when you said The shining, the brighter I've shined, the caliber of client also comes in. And also I uplevel the clients I already have. So everyone is winning here. What I see happen is in my industry is people fear that people won't like them. And they'll say no. So they're like, I think I need to discount my prices. I think I need to discount my prices. Do you have a story or a time where you kind of feared your rates? And maybe you did lower them? Or maybe you didn't lower them and like kind of how that went down? Because it's, it's hard. It's really hard when you work for yourself to separate when people say no to your rates, and it's not a rejection of you as a human being.Monica Linda 10:44  Yeah, no, it is really, really hard. I feel like a couple of years ago, it was really difficult when I would when I would set a price. And then would worry whether I was worthy of it or was I just experienced enough what with it, I knew that I was capable of doing it. But was I really able to like deliver the service and I used to struggle. But what ended up shifting for me is every time I felt that way, every time I felt like are they gonna like me? Or I could tell like somewhere I just didn't want to work with this client. But I wasn't I couldn't tell why I didn't. But what ended up happening is every time and I don't know how this happens, maybe somebody out there can tell us, but every time somebody asked me for a significant discount, it never works out. Never works out. No, like, that has been the hardest lesson for me the amount of times that I have not, I've been in a space where I was I was just in a funk or I wasn't feeling good. Or I was willing to compromise because I thought these people were brighter, or they were bigger or more popular.Lesley Logan 11:53  They tell you, Oh my God, I've got all these followers if you give me this discount, you're gonna get so much exposure.Monica Linda 11:59  Every time I'm telling you 100% of the time. And I have been in some serious situations that have been so deflating, exhausting, and literally sucked the life out of me. And what didn't bring me any joy. It has, it has been that so like, I almost feel like that lesson of the suffering of constantly putting myself in that situation made me actually do the opposite of like, let's really love myself here and ask and go for the ask. Because every time I do it the other way, it ends up failing. Lesley Logan 12:31  Yeah, I had James Patrick on the podcast, and he actually does a couple he had like, every once in a while on his on his Instagram account. He goes, here are some reasons here all the reasons why people have said I should work for free for them. And here's what my response was. And we can talk more about this. There is something about the way he says it that I'm like, yeah, yeah. And then I'm like, Oh, how am I going to say that? Because there's something about like, a dude saying that just that one. And people don't think he's an asshole. It's right. Like, someone goes, Oh, hey, you're gonna get lots of exposure, because I have a ton of followers. And he's like, followers don't pay my bills. And like, I read that and I don't go, What a dick. I read that go. That's right. Yeah. But like, there's something about if you and I were to say that sometimes I feel like people like bitch.Lesley Logan 13:24  Or they'd be like, she's so greedy. She wants so much money.Monica Linda 13:28  Oh, yeah.Monica Linda 13:29  Or who is she. She's not that big of a deal? Lesley Logan 13:31  Yeah, I know. So, um, but I love that you brought that up, because I had the same thing like a weird game. We're in different service industries. But I've had I had the clients were like, well, what if I pay cash? My favorite thing? Monica Linda 13:42  Mmm hmm. Yeah. Yeah.Lesley Logan 13:44  I saw that run that shit through my scheduling tool. So if I'm audited, that fucking shits on the books, the cash, the scheduling tool, you're still on the scheduling tool? Yeah. So you're there, you think they're not going to find that? They're gonna find that.Monica Linda 14:00  Somebody will always find the cash. Lesley Logan 14:02  Yeah, so I, um, I, I like the media does this thing every once in awhile when like, they think there's a recession happening where they say, Oh, just ask for a discount. Like you never know, especially for people who work for the small businesses need the money. So just ask, doesn't hurt to ask. Like, actually, it does hurt. It hurts the business owner, you're asking. Because even if they have the gall to say, No, you're still putting them through a mental gymnastics ring, especially if they're female to figure out, how do I kindly tell you to fuck off? Yeah. Like, how do I, how do I do that? Before we did this photo shoot today, which I'm I mean, I can't wait. I love our photo shoots. I mean, you know, but we had talked about you and hired you were you were, there was a situation where you were asking a couple of people for some rates, and there was the female and there was the male. Yep. Can you tell us all about that story? Because I feel like this really does puts a underline that we're talking about.Monica Linda 15:02  Yeah, so um, I have independent contractors that we work with all the time we hire photographers for big events, we hire videographers for different events, and 99% of the time, if I was to literally itemize how many times the guy always asked for at least four to 500 more, we're not talking 1000, maybe four to 500 more than any of the women do. And very rarely do any of the women videographers or photographers come back and ask for more. And when they do, my answer is yes. Usually when somebody when it when a woman photographer/videographer says, hey, I can do it for this amount, just because you asked. Absolutely. But I'm also not going to be the person who's going to like, make you name your price, right? That's your job and that is not my job. That is you. That is your job to ask for the right rate. So photographers/videographers ask for your rate first.Lesley Logan 16:02  I love this because so I have a mentorship program. And I And, and so the girls who come in, I mean, there could be a guy that comes in Sunday, but the women that come through, you know, they often tell her their clients, like,hHey, I'm doing this program. And I'm like working on this. And it's just to really better my teaching blah, blah. And some of their clients have just started paying them more. And they're like, my clients are just paying me more. And I'm like, Yeah, cuz they're like, raise your rates, I really value you. I'm loving what you're doing. And you're investing in yourself. And like, I love that their clients are just paying more. But also like, I really wish, I really wish that there was a an all public school, like training for how to really understand what you're worthy of, and how to negotiate. You and I live in L.A. and do you know when Sony was hacked, yeah, and all their all the prices for the male actors, like emails got out there. And all the women's emails got out. Yes. And like, I think it was Jennifer Lawrence, who was like, I learned a lot, right, I learned that I was just so grateful for the job. I said yes to whatever their offerings, right, which was $10 million less than the, my co-star who had less lines than me. Yeah. And like, that was a wake up call for me. I was like, what is happening? Why are we being taught the like, what are we not being taught actually what it is? So when, as a female photographer in the service industry, you know, the NFL reached out to you, they've hired you for things. Was there a time where like, oh, my gosh, I'm missing my rates? Like, uh, were you worried about that? Or was it because like, when the brands get bigger, do you worry less about saying your rates? Monica Linda 17:43  Um, no, I'm actually really thoughtful about the psychology behind pricing. And that's like, a whole other a whole other discussion. There. There are, there are some brands and some people who want you to come in at a certain price. What I've noticed is that you have to when you're working with a higher with a higher client, you have to ask yourself, how high of a client is this? And if they're used to paying a luxury brand, a luxury price, you have to do it. Or they're gonna say no to you because you are too cheap. Right? They're gonna that I tell people this all the time. It's actually true. If you if you have people that are used to paying for like, Rolls Royces and Mercedes Benz and cars I can't even describe. If you come in at a lower price, they will say no to you just because they are going to feel like you don't believe in yourself. So why am I going to trust you with my product?Lesley Logan 18:40  I got tested on this a couple times when I was Pilates, I'm still a Pilates, but as a Pilates instructor in LA, I had this guy, I happen to look him up because he was coming in for a 6am session. And I worked at a Brick and Mortar at the time of the winter. But I was and I was gonna be alone. And I was like, oh, 6 a.m. alone in a studio with a client. I don't know who's a male like, I, I do want to kind of know who's coming to the studio because like, I don't know who I'm expecting. And when a homeless person walks in, I'm like, hi, come on in like I wanted. So I like made a mix. I said I can you send me all of your information so I can Google you because I am meeting you at 6 a.m. And he was like, what? And I was like, yep, I'm a female. It's L.A., 6 a.m. I want your information. If you don't want that, then I don't want to see you. And he gave me his full name. I googled them. He's a venture capitalist fund, the owner of it all these things. And I was like, okay, he and I could see he like spent part of his time in New York, part of his time here and as (inaudible) client and I'm only going to have half a year probably. And so he came in for his first session. I taught him. We went over my rates. He did do the like, oh, are there any discounts if I pay cash, and I said, are there any discounts if I give you money for venture capitalism and cash like, does my does my money go further? And he looked at me, he goes, good job. Yeah. And he paid me even when he didn't come He like not we're not trying to like cancels. He's like, I'm gone next week. Charge me. Yeah, like I don't want the session to go away. And that tests you guys, I don't even know how I knew how to pass that test but as more of a safety thing for me, but when he pulled that shit, I was like, Are you kidding me? Yeah, yeah, you are nuts. You live in the multimillion dollar corridor that's across the street from my shitty apartment. Fuck no, you don't like there was a part I was like, pissed about it. But that, that pissed, like made me like step up. And I passed that test. And then I had this other guy who was an entrepreneur founder. He definitely, he did not have investors yet. And he was trying to get there. And he also tried to negotiate my rates. And I said, No, would you let people negotiate your sale on your company that you told me you're trying to sell? Monica Linda 20:48  Yeah, there, there has to be a moment where you're gonna have to draw a line in the sand. And also, you know, I, I can I also want to say like, I can take these risks, because I have I'm not new. And let's just, I have a portfolio that proves that I'm worth every penny. Yeah, so for every photographer, videographer who's out there, please. On another podcast, I will tell you the amount of free things that I had to say no to or lower my price. Just to build portfolio. That's a whole other discussion. That's not what we're talking about today. But um, if you're going to charge a premium price, your portfolio has to match that you just can't. You have to have the expertise, the photos, the website like the things have to match.Lesley Logan 21:37  I had a Johanna, you will talk to you on I remember her I had her on the podcast. She does the luxury branding, things. And her business card when you meet her in person, y'all. It is like as thick as a credit card actually thicker because I just was sent a credit card. I was like what is what is this business card I was just said, it is thick, like Amex platinum thick. You know what I mean, thick and it's like her beautiful, just amazing nails, like dripping down with gold on this thing. And she landed a Google account because of this. Her business card. Her business card represents her luxury brand, if she had handed the guy a paper business card, and said, I'm a luxury brand, brand game person like that doesn't match. Lesley Logan 22:26  So I love that you brought up like, the type of person you're wanting to serve your portfolio, or insert your website or business card or the way you show up has to actually go along with that if you're doing high-end photos, but you're actually doing low-end services, that's actually not going to speak to your audience. Just like if you were trying to do high-end photography or high-end clients in Pilates with low-end stuff. Like you have to make sure everything matches. And I do agree. We all did start somewhere you do have to but where you start is you should never ever be just like, oh, I don't talk about that. Like that's right, you have to talk about those things, because it's actually what got you there. And then there's like some, there's a muscle that you build when people when you are when you have a situation that goes bad. I recently had one that like went a little bit odd. And I was like, okay, I don't like how that happened. Where did I make a mistake in the contract. So now my contracts now have new dates in them, because I was like, I didn't like how that went down. That didn't match with me. So we can't just go. A bad situation is just the worst that ever happened and actually teaches us a lot of things. Monica Linda 23:39  It teaches you a lot of things. Sometimes you could do a really high-end client got paid 80% of what you really wanted, but ended up getting so much more out of it from the portfolio or you learn that. Shoot, I should have charged 100% and dammit, they would have paid it. Lesley Logan 23:57  Oh, I do love this. Okay. But that's a confidence thing. Like we're like when you did that where you were like, oh, I could have charged more they would have paid it but I didn't feel confident in asking that? Monica Linda 24:10  Totally. And that is like the biggest difference I've noticed when I am quoting any product that I give now is there is a confidence that feels good. That I didn't feel at the beginning. And I'm literallyLesley Logan 24:23  Which is hard. It's hard. You can be it till you see it. But it's still hard. Monica Linda 24:26  It's still hard. It's still hard but there is like this confidence of like I am at least in the room. Right? Okay, so let's let's flex that muscle because there was a time that I couldn't charge those things because the muscle wasn't it definitely wasn't there yet. There's a quote by Gary Vaynerchuk. And I know I'm gonna say it wrong, but I remember Lesley Logan 24:46  He probably won't yell at us.Monica Linda 24:49  But I remember years ago when I first started my business I was listening to a lot because I kind of like, you know, everyone's part. I listen to his podcast based on what I need. So at that point, I needed somebody to kick me in the ass. Lesley Logan 25:00  Yeah, he will.  Monica Linda 25:00  He will, he will definitely kick you in the ass. So one thing he said is that when you're working with higher clientele, you can't fake the bullshit. You can't outsmart a, you can't, you can't out bullshit, somebody who's like has a lot of money. So you have to work on the confidence, you have to work on your pricing. Because the people that you're wanting to work with on the other end are going to see right through it and aren't going to hire you for that reason, too. Lesley Logan 25:26  And I also think, like, look, what's expensive is very subjective. So what's it what was expensive to me when I was working in retail and had massive student loans that like a tiny little apartment is very different than what's expensive to me now. Now, I might not be able to afford some of the things that I don't think are expensive in this current state that we're talking right now. But they don't they're their price feels fair for what they are. And I think that's an interesting thing. I think sometimes we think when I can't afford something must be too expensive. No, the price is fair. I just am not able to afford that yet. And we were both in that master you were photography in that mastermind. Remember that woman who came through and Chris and Lori's very first fast foundation. She was his whole like money mantra. Yeah. Are you there that day was like really it was the in person the second weekend. Okay. And she was from the UK. And she was talking about like, you it's very important. You never say like, I can't afford those sheets. And instead saying, I'm not buying those sheets today.Monica Linda 26:26  Yes. Which is, which is a big difference. Lesley Logan 26:28  It's a very big difference. So like, I everyone knows, I want a G-Wagon. You will never hear me say they're too expensive. You won't. Monica Linda 26:37  You just don't, you're just not getting one today. Lesley Logan 26:38  I'm just not getting one today. Yeah, but I'm gonna have one. And it's not too expensive. It's just not in. It's not what I'm spending my money on in this moment. You know?Monica Linda 26:47  Totally. And I feel like this is an, I don't where I don't know where men get this. Because I feel that my confidence in my level of just self-worth is equivalent to kind of what's happening in my client roster. I feel like what's different between men and I would love to hear I don't think Monica Linda 26:52  Brad will chime in on Thursday. Monica Linda 27:04  Well, I don't know how, I want to hear his thoughts, I don't think they need confidence in order to match price point. I don't know that because I'm not a dude. But I feel like they learned that earlier. They don't need like, they don't need self-worth to charge millions of dollars.Lesley Logan 27:23  Here's where it comes from. And this is gonna sound really terrible. But for the moms listening, let's just stop doing this with your children. Boys are like boys live boys. Oh my God, look what you did. So big. Look at this boy like did that and girls are like, don't brag shhh. Don't talk too much in class. Don't, no, no, no. No one wants you to talk too much. Like, hey, you know, like, I, my parents tell stories all the time about how like, I when, apparently, when I was three years old or four years old, I was taken down to San Diego. It's an eight-hour drive from where we lived, at least. And apparently I talked to the whole way there. And that's all they talk about. That's not all they talk about. But yeah, growing up, that story was so told so much. And the way it was told and this is not, because they're probably listening, it's I'm sure they didn't mean to, but it made me embarrassed. It didn't feel like oh my God, our daughter talks so much because she's so articulate has so many creative things to say. Yeah, it felt like wow, she can't shut up.Monica Linda 28:25  And she can't be too much. Lesley Logan 28:27  Yeah. And so and again, I because I don't want to (inaudible) mom or dad. Yeah. I don't know that that was an intentional thing. But I've never heard them say my brother talks too much.Monica Linda 28:38  No, and I've never heard my my parents say that my brothers I used to get in trouble all the time from my mom used to say, we shouldn't have let her be such a free thinker. We we actually let her be that too much. Like I remember hearing, hearing those conversations when I was like talking or I would like come up with ideas where I'd want to do this or I'd want to like, buy like Vogue magazine. My mom would be like, we don't do that. Like, you shouldn't want you shouldn't almost like I shouldn't want to be more than that.Lesley Logan 29:09  Yeah. And I mean, like, obviously, they're coming from the what, however they were raised. What if so, like (inaudible). Yes. Love, love. Hi, guys. Love you. But like also those things, unintentionally, tell your daughters, you're too much. Monica Linda 29:27  Too much. Lesley Logan 29:28  You're being too much. And if my brother ran to the mud, it was like, oh my God, what a character. If we were to run through the mud, it's like we told you to stay clean. You have to stay clean. And also, I was raised in a very religious environment where it's like, don't show your shoulders because you're going to make people you know, you're gonna make boys be distracted and you're gonna make them stumble and it's your fault, which is, so I think even even that stuff makes women hide. Yeah, make some overthink of everything Well, if I charge that, what will people think if I wear this? What will people think? And the boys are never told, like pull your pants up? No one wants to see your underwear. Monica Linda 30:08  That's right. That's right. Or, um, don't be too, you know, sexy or, you know, don't take your while you're playing basketball, don't take your shirt off. Yes, you know, they're never there. They're actually never told that. I feel like the the biggest thing that I still struggle with, sometimes with my parents is, can I trust my own thoughts? Because I feel like as a girl, we're constantly taught to get feedback, to ask your husband to ask your father for advice. Very rarely did I hear anyone say ask your mother for advice. I was told ask your dad for advice. And, um, I feel like even now, that's something that I have to work on is I am smart enough to make my own decisions with my wife or without her. And I have to like remember that. And that is that, that I think that's a muscle that I think a lot of women struggle with. Lesley Logan 31:08  I agree. And also, like, I had a woman on who was talking about the feminine and masculine energies. And I struggle with that, because, you know, I own my own business. That's a masculine energy. And I'm in a marriage, and I would like to be more feminine energy in that state. But it's complicated when you work from home. And you work with your partner. So it's almost like, there's a trade off who's been in the feminine energy, who's been the masculine energy, but there's part of me as someone who like, was told no so much that I'm like, I want to fucking ask anyone permission, which is not great when you have a business partner. And I like also, I do have 25 people whose like, payrolls are our responsibility. So I do have to do that. And it's a struggle of like, okay, what am I going to fight for? And like, am I going to, what are some things like, I'm gonna draw a line in the sand here and go, we're not doing it that way. And so and then also because I'm, and then I find myself saying, is that okay, does that make sense? Does that make sense? And it's like, not everything has to be a battle pick and choose yours. I'm and I'm pretty good at that. But like, I am really struggling with going okay, like, are you okay with that? Honestly, like, for the things that I'm gonna draw a line, I really don't care if you're okay with that. But like, I really struggle just going. I'm good here. So, we're all going to be good here. Monica Linda 32:35  Yeah. And, and one of the things I'm training my wife in a loving way, because guys do this effortlessly, and women crawl over it. Is it's okay for a woman to be powerful to have the biggest dick in the room. There is some strength in being the biggest person in the room, being the smartest person and guys walk in and women are like, oh my god, I just like love him. But when girls do it, we can't we can't be that we can't we can't be that strong. And what I want my wife and kind of other people to just explore is that when women are strong that sexy. Monica Linda 33:15  There's something sexy about it.Monica Linda 33:15  When we're masculine that's sexy. Lesley Logan 33:16  And also (inaudible) I think so. I think so. Monica Linda 33:16  Sometimes it's fun to be masculine. Lesley Logan 33:18  Um, well, I think we all carry masculine and feminine energy. It's like, it's almost it's like a dimmer switch is really what it is. Like, you can turn it on and like, depending on where what situation you do you want to be the person who receives being cared for or do you want to like, when you are taking action is a masculine energy and when you are receiving that is feminine energy. So when do you want to do that? And obviously, there's times when you want to be receiving, so but I, I find this really fascinating, I think, like, we I was on a board, where it was like eight women and one dude. And the guy and I like we flew on the flights together. And we talked about, like, what is our goal for the meeting? And I was like, well, I promise you that if I say it first they're going to deny it. They're gonna talk a lot about it. But then if you come in and say it with your accent as well on top of being a dude, they're gonna vote for it. Monica sort of fucking god every single time yep, I would go I want to do this and everyone go oh, can't do that. Here's all those and they would debate about it and then he goes well, what if we just do it like this? He would say the exact same thing with a slightly different sentence with an with his amazing accent. And oh, we vote yes on it. And I'm like, it pissed me off. But also once I figured out the game, we just like took it and ran with it. Lesley Logan 34:48  However, it's like your point, like when a guy can come in the room like people can shift the energy and like actually ladies, we can shift the energy we can shift the and we can have more power one we have to actually remember, there's more than there's more room at the table now, there's not only one spot for a woman, there's actually way more room. In fact, many, many companies have like, hey, we have this many people of color of different diversities and genders here at the table. So there's more of us that are there. And to not say, does that make sense? To say? Do you have any other clarifying questions I can answer. That is a sense that I'm really trying to own, because it really does change the leadership role I have in a room and the way we can have it. And it's a really hard habit, because we're like, I want to make sure it makes sense. I want to make sure everyone understands I don't want to piss anyone off. Monica Linda 35:40  Because God forbid, we don't make sense. Oh my God.Lesley Logan 35:43  God forbid, we also are not liked by everybody. Monica Linda 35:45  Oh, my God. Lesley Logan 35:46  Monica. The whole world.Monica Linda 35:49  God forbid, we don't make sense.Lesley Logan 35:51  So okay, so this amazing photographer here, the NFL's photographer of choice. People are gonna want to know how that happened. Like, you don't have to say all the details. But what has that been like? And like, did that? I mean, you said, you're here to help women, like have the media that shows them the work that they are like, when the NFL call we're like, what? I photograph women. Monica Linda 36:19  Yeah. You know what, but the but the reason, one of the main reasons why we were even brought into the room was because we were women. And this is where it's okay to play. That's I do, like we were brought into this group, because we are gay, because I am a minority, because I am a female. So those are badges of honor. I'm happy to be all three of those happy to be gray. I'm a gay, happy to be Mexican. Happy to be a female. (Inaudible) I'm also great. Yeah, I'm happy to be all those things. So when an opportunity to work for the Superbowl and the NFL came open, because of these opportunities, it would have been crazy to say, oh, I'm not going to do it. Because I didn't get in just as a woman. These are opportunities that show up. nd they weren't asking that wasn't the only reason my portfolio matched it. Right. Right. Right. Right. But it was also the one of the things that helped get into that room.Lesley Logan 37:22  I actually love that you said this, because the statistics are that if a woman has eight or nine out of 10 qualifications that someone's asking for, they will say, Oh, I'm not ready, I won't apply. And a dude could have six out of 10 things. And he's like I'm applying. And I love that you're like, yeah, they were looking for these three demographic qualities I happen to fit in. But also your portfolio matches what they were looking for. Yeah. So I think that's really cool. Because so many people might have, for sure, I have gotten things like, thrive and like, oh, I got picked for that because I lived in L.A. and I was really close to that thing. And yes, but also, I still had to show up at the caliber they were expecting I still had to do that. So yeah, it might be my location, gave me a leg up but you still have to actually show up as what they're expecting or what they're needing.Monica Linda 38:18  And you also have you have to deliver the product. But working for agencies like that has literally changed my life. changed the game, changed my the quality of my work, it leveled me up on levels I didn't even know. It like, it like catapulted me into a new era of just different clients. The quality of work is faster, the way you engage, the professionalism, the time, the time. I recently saw somebody who I hadn't seen in four years and was like, oh my God, you almost look like a totally different person. But I'm so used to changing as time goes along on that I hadn't even noticed you know, the girl who quit her job in 2016 has made all this growth and it's it hasn't been it hasn't been easy. It there are moments that it's really, really hard. And then, but I continue to continually ask myself, Am I on path? What I think is interesting that's coming up that I'm going to tell now that I don't know where this is going. But it's fascinating to me. The concert series is blowing my effing mind.Lesley Logan 39:27  Like the Taylor Swift, the Beyonce, that kind of thing.Monica Linda 39:30  Like the Beyonce. We just did Karol G. She is the first Latina to ever sell out the Pasadena Rose Bowl stadium two nights in a row. No other Latina has ever done that before. We photograph that event. And we were we were here's where opportunity meets. We were booked by the actual stadium themselves because they needed revenue they needed to build revenue generated media. Lesley Logan 39:56  Oh, okay. Okay, okay. This is just in total alignment with what you do. Monica Linda 40:00  Total alignment with what I do. But what's so interesting is that you have these big, huge companies that are seeing content needs to be built. And they're reaching out to people. So this is an opportunity for everybody. They're reaching out to people like us because you think that these big organizations have staff, let me tell you, they do not. I'm consistently constantly surprised at how many of these big agencies do not have on staff people. So it is an opportunity every single time. But the concert series is really interesting, because I don't I don't like to photograph celebrities, just because they're celebrities. I'd really like to do it. Because when you meet them in person, they are bright. Their energy is magnetic. It literally gives me goosebumps, they are so full of their purpose. Do you know how hard it is to get in front of a stage of 300,000 people, 400,000 people and do your thing creatively? Yeah, like the energy of photographing that is just so amazing. And I'm predicting. And I recently said this the beginning of last year, I'm predicting that female entrepreneurs on stages will become rock stars. I am predicting that.Lesley Logan 41:13  I do agree. I think that's happening. Especially like the keynote speaker thing is really, really a thing. Monica Linda 41:19  We're at the beginning part of it. Lesley Logan 41:20  I agree. And I also am like, like, love Oprah. Hi, your people can call. But also I'm really excited because there's so many women of incredible thought concepts coming through that we could have 50 Oprahs instead of a Oprah. Monica Linda 41:37  That's right. That's right. Lesley Logan 41:38  I feel like there's over a hundred Oprah's. Monica Linda 41:40  I feel like Oprah has led the way. I feel like so many people Lesley Logan 41:43  Oh she really like forced the path. Thank God. Monica Linda 41:46  Forced the path, but I can see it, I see it happening in front of my camera all the time, the level, the excitement, the enthusiasm that women entrepreneurs feel when they see their people on stage. I feel like though they're just going to be I think it's an opportunity for a lot of just females to become rockstars. Lesley Logan 42:03  Yeah. And also, ladies, it's because all these are putting themselves in rooms. Monica Linda 42:08  That's right. They're putting their stuff on stages. Lesley Logan 42:10  This is the I think the thing that you and I met because we put ourselves in a room. And, hilariously, you have photographs of me putting myself in a room way before we actually like, consciously did it in a coaching group. I love how the world works. But when you put yourself in rooms, it is a game changer. It makes you be it till you see it on another level because you're in a room of people who don't know you yet. This is what I think if you were like, I don't know how to show up as me if you go back to Nikole Mitchell's episode, where she like literally moved town so she could like be the person she wanted to be because she couldn't do it at her own town. Because there's too many people who knew the old version of her that she wasn't in alignment with and she wasn't being authentic for. But when you put yourself even if you get like, I can't move, okay, put yourself in a group of people, you don't know anyone. And you can really show up as the person that you always wanted to be. And like we did that. And it really does help you because when you leave that room, you you dim your light, you're like, ooh, this is I'm feeling good because it felt really good yesterday when my light was much brighter, like you kind of it allows you to kind of be in that upper level you've always wanted to be in so you could be a rock star someday. Monica Linda 43:20  Totally. And I feel like that's something when if I go back to the whole, like, networking thing, what you don't know if you have not put yourself into rooms like that, that has now happened is you whatever room you put yourself into, no matter what stage you're at, whether you're small or big, you actually do rise together. And I think that has been that has been so fun to participate in the people there are people that fall off. But there's some people that just have elevate at the same time. Lesley Logan 43:49  Have you seen what Alex Reid is doing? It's insane. He is coaching some crazy amazing people. And when he was in that room with us, you guys, I think he's episode five or seven. Yeah, anyways, when he was in that room with us, he you know, he was at a crossroads he was like starting fresh and new and like he owned this like skill set that he didn't even value at the time he was like, I don't know, is this a thing and it's like such a thing and it's kind of crazy to watch him his star rise and just go (inaudible) star rise and all these different people it's like really so fun. I mean, I'm watching you and like it's today during our photoshoot. I was just like in this like moment of like such gratitude I was like, I can't believe like I'm so grateful that this woman is part of my life. And I then I am like thinking about all the powerful men that are like my girlfriends like my friends. And we're both friends with Korinne like, oh my God. Like, this girl as a friend of mine, like just amazing women. Lesley Logan 44:48  I had the opportunity in April to go to a conference, She Who Wins, and it was just all these incredible women and I told the story on the pod months ago but this the keynote speaker I was like, in awe of her when she's speaking, sharing her part, I was just like, oh my God. And then because I was shining my bright light because I was in the space like, and I could like even shine even brighter because I was like, oh my God, I'm around all these people who don't even know and I'm like getting filled up, my my cup has been filled even more. And she comes up to the end of the thing. And she's like, you are like magnetic, I had been watching you all day, I need to know more about you. And I'm like, you want to mark me. You're the keynote speaker I want I'm like could you be on my podcast? But it's kind of crazy. When you put yourself in a room. Her bright light made my light, shine brighter. And it's so crazy. Because sometimes, oh, if I go in this room, there's been so much competition. There's me, all these people who do the same thing as me. That's like, that's not true. Monica Linda 45:45  If you walk in thinking that way. Absolutely. That's going to be true. But if you walk in thinking, like, I just want to meet people who we can, like, hang out together, like just turn down the noise in your head just a little bit and just just walk in the room. Like I heard that quote from I think it was Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey says, when there's an opportunity, and it presents itself to you, I do not want you to think about what's on the other side of the door, what I want you to do is walk through the door, just walk through the door, because the universe, all the things on the other side, if they open the door for you are going to take care of you. I feel like the other thing, getting in these rooms really helps is if I see Lesley Logan making a million dollars or more. I can do it too. And I feel like getting yourself into rooms like that where people where it's for a second, you can see it's possible that the possible part will take you a long way. If they can do it, I can do it too.Lesley Logan 46:49  Yeah, you're in the room when when. Because I've been really like this before Brad came on my team. And I was like, you know, he was a reason he's the first person who told me I could make a million dollars. And I was like, I don't know how that's gonna happen. And then like, through life's obstacles, and just like the slog of him working on his own business, you know, there were some struggles and I it's not we lost our way at all, but it's just like it. It just felt like the million dollars is like never gonna happen. And then we put ourselves in that room. And we like we're doing some things and we're like, oh my god, we're gonna make a million dollars. We're gonna make a million dollars. It's gonna happen. And not that a million dollars is like you made it. I mean, at this point it's like nothing, but it's this like, opportunity of like, oh my god, if I can make a million dollars, that means I'm worth millions of dollars. Like that means I'm like, yeah, it's just like, it's this thing. And it does help you aspire to be more than you were yesterday. With Allen Stein Jr. on the beginning, like the first week of January of 2023. And he has a thing is how he ends every day is like, am I 1% closer to the man I want to be each day. And so it's not like the million dollars is my goal. It's not my goal. My goal is the impact I'm here to make on this planet. And and I get paid back in money. That's how energy works. But it's really like just having the opportunity to like when you put yourself in there you go through the door, you do see what's possible. And it might, it might not at all equal what you ever dreamed of. It's rarely ever as worse as you thought it could be. It's you know, it's like cement kind of somewhere in the middle and it really points in the next direction. The next hallway to go down where the next door is. But fuck yeah, you got to go through the door. Oh, Jim Carrey.Monica Linda 48:33  Jim Carrey. There's a documentary on I can't remember the documentary on Netflix. But he talks about the whole thing and I just feel like, every time I get a, you know, an inquiry like the Super Bowl or Karol G or Coldplay or Sting or the Hollywood BowlLesley Logan 48:48  Oh my are you doing Sting in Vegas?Monica Linda 48:50  I'm not confirming or denyingLesley Logan 48:53  Because I saw him in Vegas. So I'm just gonna say Monica Linda 48:55  He's going to the Hollywood Bowl, but I can neither confirm nor deny any of those things. But I'm saying when those things present themselves, I could tell myself I'm this little girl from Texas who grew up in a trailer park I should not be photographing Sting. But there's also a part of me that says just be so awesome to photograph somebody who's so creative in his brilliance. Lesley Logan 49:19  Oh, he's brilliant. Monica Linda 49:20  That would just like that's the reason I don't I don't care about all the other stuff, but just the creative part of it. Lesley Logan 49:26  Oh my God. So the next time you photograph me I'm gonna have Sting's photographer.Monica Linda 49:32  I can't. I'm super superstitious. I wish I could knock on wood has not happened but let's just say what's gonna happen.Lesley Logan 49:41  Yeah, okay, well well we'll we'll let you know guys we'll we'll we'll update on the FYF so have Monica do a Fuck Yeah Friday episode. Okay, we have to take a brief break you've given us so much I really hope everyone listening to this was like felt like a fly on the wall and was like yelling and screaming and clapping with us. I really hope that this really put some food for thought. But we're gonna come back. Find out how people can find you, follow you, work with you and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 50:03  All right, Monica, where do you like to hang out? What are your handles? How can people book a photo shoot with you so they shine fucking brighter?Monica Linda 50:11  I am not ashamed to say that I'm only on Instagram. Proudly. I do not feel the pressure tobbe on TikTok. Instagram is my home.Lesley Logan 50:19  I got on TikTok and I haven't posted anything in a fucking year and it was like you have to relog in I was like, well fuck that. I'm never doing that.Monica Linda 50:25  Let me be the first to tell you you do not need to have a proper you can not have a only profitable business if you do one social media. Just fucking pick one. Just pick one, everybody? So Instagram is where I live. Lesley Logan 50:37  She's on Instagram. As Girl SquadMonica Linda 50:39  Girl Squad Media. Lesley Logan 50:40  Yes.

I mean, oh my goodness. She goes on tour with like, I don't know Beyonce or something like that. Maybe she'll be in your town. I'm just like, we're just dreaming big over here. So bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps people can take what are some action steps people can take who are inspired by our conversation today?Monica Linda 51:19  Just pick a room that's a little bigger than you like a little bigger than where you feel like you are and just walk into it. Just do a lot of practice. Just keep doing it over and over. And you'll surprise yourself. You'll look back one day and be like, God, I've come a long way. Just get into a room that's a little bigger than you.Lesley Logan 51:36  I love that. That is the first time we've ever had that. Brilliant. Oh my gosh, Monica Linda. Girl Squad Media.
