Steve Harvey gives advice to: Di in Knoxville: "I won a decent amount of money on a scratch off and my family knows about it but I didn’t tell my friends. I ordered a few designer items that I’ve always wanted but couldn’t afford. I wore some Louboutin heels and a new Michelle watch to brunch and my so-called best friend asked me if my shoes and watch were fake. I would expect that from a hater, not her. She said it was an honest mistake because I never have any money. Is she my best friend or is she a hater?" Charmaine in Tampa: "I have been talking to my ex-husband a lot lately because his dog died. He cared more about that dog than he ever did about me, so I felt bad for him. My current husband can’t understand how losing a pet can really hurt, so he gets irritated when I check on my ex. Is there anything wrong with checking on him while he grieves?"

Step beyond the glossy facade of fashion into the fierce legal battlegrounds where iconic footwear brands fight tooth and nail to protect their signature designs. From the vibrant red soles of Christian Louboutin to the humble foam clogs of Crocs, the most recognizable shoes in the world have sparked global intellectual property wars with stakes in the millions.Louboutin's journey through courts worldwide reveals how differently countries interpret trademark protection. While his red sole secured recognition as a valid trademark in the US (but only when contrasting with the rest of the shoe), he faced defeat in France against Zara yet triumphed in the Netherlands and China. These jurisdiction-specific battles highlight how fragmented global IP protection can be, forcing brands to fight the same war on multiple fronts.The Manolo Blahnik saga in China demonstrates the perils of trademark squatting, with the legendary designer locked out of using his own name for 22 years until China's Supreme People's Court finally ruled in his favor in 2022. Meanwhile, Crocs transformed from counterfeit victim to accused party, first winning import bans against 20+ knockoff brands before facing accusations of falsely advertising patent protections they didn't possess.The digital age has created new pitfalls, as Puma discovered when Rihanna's Instagram posts of their collaborative Fenty Creeper invalidated their design protection in Europe by starting the clock on the 12-month disclosure grace period. Even tech innovations face fierce battles, with Nike aggressively protecting its Flyknit technology against competitors like Lululemon, while comfort-focused Skechers surprised everyone by successfully challenging luxury powerhouse Hermès over sole designs.These cases reveal crucial lessons for creators and businesses: secure your IP early and globally, develop truly distinctive designs that consumers immediately associate with your brand, understand how protection varies by country, and recognize that even seemingly mundane innovations can represent valuable intellectual property worth defending. Whether you're fascinated by fashion, intellectual property law, or business strategy, these high-stakes battles showcase how the soul of a brand often lies in its sole.Send us a text

Owning a business of any kind impacts your life and relationships. In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts talk about marriage, relationships, and how these things correlate with having a property management business. You'll Learn [02:03] Owning a business impacts your relationships [07:45] You have to be selfish sometimes [11:10] Why people pleasing is harmful [14:13] Masculine and Feminine frames [24:51] Leveling up in business and your relationships Tweetables “In business, you don't want to be the needy, pleasy guy running a property management business, trying to please every tenant, trying to please every business owner.” “I think as a business owner, you, there is part of you that has to be selfish and you have to be comfortable with being selfish because there is a time and a place for it.” “If you do not take care of yourself, you are not going to have energy to then continue to take care of other people.” “Ironically, the more you are trying to please somebody,  the less they value you.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] Jason: In business, you don't want to be the needy, pleasy guy running a property management business, trying to please every tenant, trying to please every business owner.  [00:00:08] Welcome DoorGrow property managers to the DoorGrow show. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you're interested in growing in business and life, and you are open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow property manager. [00:00:29] DoorGrow property managers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS. Build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. We're your hosts property management growth experts, Jason and Sarah Hull the owners of DoorGrow.  [00:01:11] Now Let's get into the show.  [00:01:14] All right, so today's topic, we're going to chat a little bit about marriage. So let's talk about it. We're going to tell a little bit about marriage. Those that have followed my journey over the years have probably seen that I've been divorced. I've gone through struggles in marriage. I've learned things the hard way. Some of y'all probably been married forever like my parents. I have amazing parents and they were a great example of just loving each other from the beginning forever. [00:01:44] They've been married for, I don't know, like 50 years or something.  [00:01:48] Sarah: Almost. 49.  [00:01:50] Jason: Yeah. Yeah. I think  [00:01:52] Sarah: this year is going to be 47. So they're like going to be 50.  [00:01:55] Jason: I think they got married two years before they had me. So yeah.  [00:01:58] Sarah: They celebrate it though, but they're still in Australia.  [00:02:01] Jason: Yeah. So my parents, they just love each other. [00:02:03] But one of the things that I think it's been coming up a lot, I've been noticing a lot of clients as I go deeper with them and they kind of open up especially the guys like relationships are a struggle. It's a challenge. I think it's difficult. It can be difficult for entrepreneurs. I think it's difficult for the women entrepreneurs because in a lot of ways you have to kind of step into sort of a masculine frame to run a business. And that creates an interesting dynamic in a relationship. And this is in general. Some women out there, maybe you don't want a masculine guy. Maybe you don't want a guy that leads. Maybe you don't want a guy that initiates stuff. Maybe you don't want to be able to let your hair down after work and like have him kind of take the reins and like plan something and take you on a date. I think a lot of women do. A lot of women appreciate that. Even the ones that are running businesses and showing up in a masculine sort of frame and being kind of dominant in leadership and displaying these things, they would like to have somebody else take the lead. Is this accurate do you think or no?  [00:03:03] Sarah: Yeah, well. You think it's different.  [00:03:05] Jason: You've run your own business. [00:03:06] You've been kind of in that frame.  [00:03:08] Sarah: I'm a very masculine woman.  [00:03:11] Jason: Yeah, in some ways I think you've consistently since we've been together.  [00:03:15] Sarah: I look very feminine. I do it's deceiving. Yeah.  [00:03:19] Jason: Yeah, I think since we've been together, you've consistently stepped more and more into your feminine and I've stepped more and more into my masculine I think has kind of been a trend. [00:03:29] Would you say that's accurate?  [00:03:30] Sarah: It could be. I don't know. I think you've probably more recently been focused on that. I can't say, I really cannot say, oh, I've ever been focused on.  [00:03:41] Jason: I don't think you've been focused on it. I just think.  [00:03:44] Sarah: I'm just living life.  [00:03:45] Jason: Yeah, you're just living life and this is the thing. [00:03:48] Sarah: I'm just going about shit, doing my thing.  [00:03:50] Jason: She's not as conscious of it probably because I think this is something that men, if you are the leader and leading, you should be conscious of this. And women, when men are kind of taking that leadership role, women respond to that, and it's natural. Like, I've noticed it in Sarah, she's not even probably super aware of it, but there's behaviors and things that have kind of shifted. [00:04:15] And so, the way it'll show up for a woman in this, in a relationship like that, as a man stepping more into leadership and into his masculine role, she will generally, over time, feel calmer. There'll be probably less fights, probably less explosions, you know, things like this. And the guy will be like letting go of some of the needy, whiny, pleasy, weak behavior that's kind of gross to women. [00:04:39] Does this sound accurate?  [00:04:40] Sarah: That is, yeah, that is gross.  [00:04:42] Jason: Yeah.  [00:04:42] Sarah: To me, anyway, I cannot speak for all women.  [00:04:45] Jason: Yeah.  [00:04:45] Sarah: To me, it's gross.  [00:04:47] Jason: Ironically, when women are showing up kind of more in a masculine frame, they sometimes bring that out in guys. Like the guys think, Oh no, there's a problem. I got to please more. [00:04:57] And so it kind of creates this weird, gross spiral in relationship. And so, which I've experienced in past relationships. Right. And so the man needs to kind of. shift and lead out of that. And so I've been noticing this in clients. And so, this is something that I've been paying a lot of attention to. [00:05:14] A lot of guys show up in a feminine frame because we've been raised by our moms. Maybe you had a loving mom. She took care of you. Maybe she didn't. And she wasn't really a great mom, maybe but either way, that feminine influence towards pleasing has a strong impact on the male psyche, which puts us into kind of a growing up with kind of a feminine frame. If we don't have a really strong sort of masculine walled stoic father, you know, and there's really great book I would recommend for men that want to kind of eliminate that feminine frame that they're carrying around. [00:05:49] It's called shattering the feminine frame by Jerr, J E R R. It's really hard to find, so you may have to search for it on Google, because if you search for it on Amazon, even though it's there, Amazon won't let you see it. I don't know why. It's super weird. You may not be able to find it. Sometimes searches on some of the books by Jerr don't show up when I search for them. [00:06:11] His main book that he puts out there, I can find, and then I have to go to the author, click on the author name, and then find his other books to find some of these books. I don't, it's really weird, but you might be able to find it through Google.  [00:06:23] Sarah: Maybe it's just you. It could be just you. It'd be an interesting test. [00:06:27] Maybe everybody else, even though.  [00:06:30] Jason: I bought multiple copies of the book and sent them to guys. So Jason gets blocked on everything. He gets himself blocked. I'm a little controversial. I get shadow banned all the time. It was something. I was definitely shadow banned on Twitter. My accounts aren't working, your whole Instagram account. [00:06:45] I have a political account on Instagram that's totally blocked and shut down. Like, I log into it, it blocks everything. I can't do anything. I can't even go to settings to, like, request help to support. Nothing. So, yeah. So, which probably might be why I can't find which probably means my ideas are actually correct. [00:07:04] So since we live in a world of control and censorship nowadays, all right, so that aside, so I think you know, to kill that needy sort of pleasing behavior, I think guys, this is really important. And it's important in business too, because in business, you don't want to be the needy, pleasy guy running a property management business, trying to please every tenant, trying to please every business owner. [00:07:30] And that was something you were very good at not doing in your property management  [00:07:34] Sarah: business. I don't give a shit about that at all. I [00:07:37] Jason: think you're like, what do I want my business to look like? How do I want to show? Yeah. Yeah.  [00:07:42] Sarah: Right. And I think it's, It, part of it is very selfish. And I think as a business owner, you, there is part of you that has to be selfish and you have to be comfortable with being selfish because there is a time and a place for it. [00:07:54] Now I am not sitting here telling you, be only selfish and only think about yourself all the time. No matter what, prioritize you and forget everything else, right? That is not what I'm saying, but there is a time and a place to be selfish and to really think about you. And if you think about it this way, there's a lot of people, like one of my, one of my very good friends in Pennsylvania she will just give and give and give and give to everybody. [00:08:21] She worries about her kids and she worries about her friends and she worries about her family and she worries about, it's like, she's like, so giving and like, I mean, she would literally give you the coat off of her back in the middle of winter if you needed it. I have watched her do it. And that is great. [00:08:42] However, if you do not take care of yourself, you are not going to have energy to then continue to take care of other people. And I tell her that all the time because she's just in this constant exhaustion. Like now it's manifesting physically. Now she's had like, she had health issues. She had like a heart problem. [00:09:02] She had all kinds of issues and it's because she's not prioritizing herself. She will go to do something for herself, but then something else pops up and needs her attention. And she's like, Oh, well, I can't worry about me. Now, I have to worry about this other thing. So there is a time and a place to be selfish, and you must take care of yourself first in order to then serve and take care of other people. [00:09:22] It's like, put on your own oxygen mask before helping other people. Because if you die trying to help your family, well now your family doesn't have you. When you could have just put on your own oxygen mask first. Yes? So there is a time and a place to be selfish. I think in my later years, especially after my, like, my divorce when I was, what was I, 28? [00:09:48] Yeah, I was 28. So, 28, I flipped my entire life upside down. All of it. Everything. I pretty much scrapped it all. Anything that wasn't serving me, anything that was toxic, anything that wasn't good for me, anything that didn't make me feel happy or bring me joy or make me feel loved and cared for, I said, fuck it. [00:10:10] Gone. Gone. So I cut off relationships with my biological father. I ended my marriage. I cut off a lot of friendships. I quit my job. I did all kinds of things. I was like, yeah, this isn't working like, and that was the end of it. But that was very much about, that was for me. I did that for me. [00:10:30] And up until that point, I wasn't really living for me. Yes, I was concerned about myself. I was always trying to take care of myself. But I was also always worried, Oh, well, who needs this? And who needs that? And, oh, you know, this person, you know, is kind of, it's always like in the back of your brain. [00:10:48] And after, after that, I made that change and that after that point was when I started my business, when I started my business, I'm glad that I didn't do this before I had that shift in my life because when I started my business, number one has to be me. If the business makes me miserable, then I'm doing something wrong. [00:11:07] So why do it like that?  [00:11:10] Jason: A lot of people are miserable in their businesses. They like, we see a lot of them. That's why a lot of people come to us. We can turn that around. Ironically, the more you are trying to please somebody, the less they value you. And so if you're like just bending over backwards trying to please tenants, they're going to treat you even more and more like garbage because you're showcasing and demonstrating in your language your behavior everything, "I'm low value." [00:11:37] I'm a doormat. Walk all over me. You might do that with owners. You might be displaying, Hey, I'm low value. I'm available whenever you need me. Your time is so much more important than my time. Interrupt me anytime. Here's my cell phone number. Right? And so by displaying that you're low value, you actually end up being treated worse and being perceived as worse. [00:11:58] And people respect business owners that are leaders and then are able to display strong behavior that they can lean into and that they can trust. You need to have a stronger frame or a more masculine frame if you are the leader of a business. Otherwise, people are not going to really trust, respect, or feel safe with you. [00:12:18] And so I think that Also, when we're in relationship and we're with somebody and I think that this is probably more true of women, a lot of women might throw me some shade for saying this, but as guys, I don't know what the major difference is. Maybe it's testosterone levels, whatever. Maybe it's just in our DNA, but we do not grow up feeling fear. [00:12:41] We just, we don't generally feel afraid of a whole lot of things. Like, most guys would never even think, like, am I safe if I go walk out on the street? Unless they're in a really shitty area, you know? But if I go out for a walk, I'm not concerned about my safety at all. I could roll down my windows and take a nap in my car, parked by the side of the road, and wouldn't even worry. [00:13:03] Women, I didn't realize this until later years, but women from.  [00:13:08] Sarah: Even going like for a walk by myself, no way, I'm taking my pitbull, like  [00:13:12] Jason: Yes.  [00:13:13] Sarah: Or I'm carrying.  [00:13:15] Jason: Right. Or some combination.  [00:13:18] Sarah: Something. There's no, there's no chance. Yeah,  [00:13:21] Jason: I mean even if I'm out of town, for example You'd like you get a little bit more concerned about things and your safety and stuff like that, right? [00:13:30] Sarah: See, I'm the type of person I'm like, I want like a fortress. I want like reinforced concrete like five inch, you know, like, maybe even 11 inch thick, like, walls, I want, like, a moat, I also like some sharks that we don't feed, like, ever, and then, you know, somebody might accidentally fall down. [00:13:49] I've been getting in, like, this is how I'm like, that would make me feel safe. I want like bulletproof glass. Give me the Cybertruck glass just everywhere. Like, that's like, this is what I need. I need like laser beams, like you see in museums. Like motion sensor laser beams that trigger like the SWAT team. [00:14:06] That's what I need, but I've watched way too many horror movies, admittedly, way too many for my own good.  [00:14:13] Jason: So regardless of your gender, masculine and feminine energy is always at play. And, Feminine energy generally is not going to feel safe without masculine energy nearby. [00:14:24] That's just generally how it works. Masculine energy creates that protection and safety. This will be true of your clients. So you'll need to show up somewhat in a masculine frame so that your clients can feel safe. feel safe with you. And that's what they want to buy. They don't want to buy property management, but they want to buy a safety and certainty. [00:14:40] They want to buy peace of mind. And so that certainty that you can display is more of a masculine energy or masculine frame. This is true of women that are in relationships. If they're not getting that from the man that they're with or around them, That sort of masculine frame, they're going to become, a lot of times, they become more nervous, more neurotic. [00:14:59] They're more concerned about things and more fearful. And especially if they have to then step into the masculine frame to take care of the guy that they're with because he's even more needy and pleasy and whatever and feminine than she is, then it's like, it creates this gross sort of I'm your mother type of dynamic, right? [00:15:17] And you don't want to be my mother, right? You don't want to be cleaning up after me and telling me what to do all the time.  [00:15:22] Sarah: I don't want to be anybody's mom.  [00:15:24] Jason: Yeah, exactly.  [00:15:24] Sarah: I am not cut out to be a mom, let's be honest. I'm just not, I'm just not good. Like my mom is the best mom in the world and then like, how do I measure up to that? [00:15:34] Like I can't compete with that.  [00:15:35] Jason: Well, I don't think it's a competition.  [00:15:37] Sarah: Everything is a competition.  [00:15:39] Jason: It's not really. [00:15:39] Sarah: You know nothing about me.  [00:15:41] Jason: It's not really competition. You don't need to compete with your mom, but you can take, you know, some of the good that you've got from her and the stuff that you don't want to apply or we learn from our parents. [00:15:51] We don't want to be like. We don't have to take that. Right. So, you know, I guess the takeaway from this episode maybe is men, check out that book, like step into a little bit more masculine role in your relationships, your wife will be calmer, she'll be more loving, you will definitely get more respect and you'll get more sex if you're showing up in a masculine frame. And it's your responsibility. Stop trying to change her. Stop trying to get her to be something different. Stop wishing she was nicer to you. Stop trying to focus on I need love and I need to please her and do things like that like Show up in a confident leadership position, like plan stuff, plan dates. [00:16:35] We're going on a date this weekend, right? We went on a date last weekend.  [00:16:40] Sarah: Round two.  [00:16:40] Jason: I messed up last weekend. I planned a date. I was so excited and took her out to eat. We went to go to where the date was, we were supposed to go watch a show. And it was closed, like, there was nothing there. And I was like, what? [00:16:54] And I checked and I had the date wrong. I had the date wrong. So what did I do as a leader? I found another date. So I quickly booked tickets, found tickets to a comedy show that was right there, downtown Austin. And then we went to that and we had a good time, right?  [00:17:08] Sarah: Well, that was when I rescued the bird. [00:17:09] Jason: Yes.  [00:17:10] Sarah: So here, let's talk about this. This is how crazy my life is. Jump out of a moving car because my husband wouldn't stop the car.  [00:17:16] Jason: Let's, let me explain this. I'm driving into a parking lot, there is a bird that has landed on my hood and it's just staying on there so I'm like, this is weird and I'm turning into a parking structure and I was barely moving. [00:17:30] I was slowed down or you would have hurt yourself but I'm like, she's like, I'm going to get out and I'm going to take care of the bird and because it had jumped off. And I was like, No.  [00:17:37] Sarah: It didn't. It tried to fly, like, it was on the hood. And it tried to fly a little bit and it, like, barely cleared, like, the roof of the car and I went, Jason, that bird is injured, I'm telling you, it's injured and he's like, okay. [00:17:51] And I'm like, stop the car, and he's like, what? I'm like, no, stop the car. I was like, I am not stopping the car. Yeah, he's like, I'm not stopping.  [00:17:57] Jason: There were, like, homeless people on the street, like, right outside there. Yeah, I know. Ghettos, they probably were all high on drugs, like, it was not a great area. [00:18:06] And she jumps out of the car and I have to then find a parking space because there's nowhere to park and I had to go up seven floors in this parking structure. I'm like, my wife is probably going to be dead by now, right? So I eventually get to the top floor, then I come down, I'm, like, so anxious because I'm, like, I need to protect this woman from her crazy bird saving, like, whatever. [00:18:27] Sarah: And actually, I had this dress on. And my high heels, and I'm running around trying to, like, scoop up. I'm like, it's okay, try to scoop the bird. And the bird, like, it can't really fly. It flew a little bit for, like, a couple feet, and then it, like, sank back down. And I'm like, oh no, it's injured. So I'm, like, chasing the bird, and the bird, like, hops around. [00:18:45] Like, it comes out of the parking garage, and it hops around to the corner. I don't know what's back there. So I'm just following, I'm like, come here, bird. And there's a man in the corner. who I can only think, my guess is, like, coke, I don't know. I don't know what he's doing, it's, I don't know, crack, whatever crack is, it's probably that. [00:19:03] So, I don't know, I'm not a drug expert, I've never been in narcotics, I don't know. But he's, like, in the corner and he's, like, doing, I was, like, okay, I'm just going to, like, not look at what's happening, cause I don't care, I'm just, Hi, I'm just getting the bird, I'm, like, don't, like, sorry don't mind me. [00:19:19] And yeah, he didn't like that. But I did get the bird, and then I didn't know what to do with the bird. So I have the bird now, I'm like, oh, what do I do now? So I was going to walk back to my husband and tell him to get in the car.  [00:19:33] Jason: Yeah, we were seven floors up. You had no idea where I was.  [00:19:36] Sarah: No, I didn't. I was just going to walk around until I found you. [00:19:39] But I had the bird in my hands. And I was going to go back to my husband and then say, like, I guess we have to figure out what to do with this bird. We have a bird now. But this woman, she was on the street and she's like, Oh, hi. She was like, excuse me, do you need help? And I said, I don't know. [00:19:54] Can, do you know what to do with an injured bird? And she said, actually, yes I do. And I said, Oh my God, thank God. Because I didn't know what I was going to do with this bird. And she said, Oh, you have to take it to whatever on earth she said. And she's like, I can do that because I guess she works there or something. [00:20:11] So she's like, oh, I'll take it in tomorrow. She's like if you give me the bird So then she had this whole bird probably ate  [00:20:18] Jason: the bird. She's probably some homeless person that ate the bird.  [00:20:21] Sarah: He was not a homeless person. It was a couple.  [00:20:23] Jason: Okay.  [00:20:24] Sarah: There was a couple they had a dog.  [00:20:26] Jason: Okay, meanwhile, I'm coming down an elevator. [00:20:30] It lets me out on the first floor of this parking structure, does not let me into the parking structure. There's no, like, it just exits the building. So I exit the parking building and it locks me out of the building. So I can't even go back in and I'm like trying to find her. I have no idea where she is. [00:20:49] And so I'm calling her and yeah  [00:20:53] we ended up talking, didn't we?  [00:20:54] Sarah: No, I called you.  [00:20:55] Jason: Yeah, you called me.  [00:20:56] Sarah: Then so the lady takes the bird and now I have no bird, which is great and the bird is safe. And now I'm thinking, okay, let me just, I didn't realize it was as tall. I really did not know that the building was that tall. [00:21:08] So I figured, Oh, there's probably like three levels, whatever. I'll just walk around and find the car. It won't be hard. Well, I'm walking around and I'm realizing, Oh, okay. Well, this just keeps going. Yeah. And you  [00:21:18] Jason: were wearing the worst shoes on the planet.  [00:21:19] Sarah: Worst shoes. I was wearing a  [00:21:21] Jason: Okay. Let me explain this. [00:21:23] They can't see your outfit right now. Sarah looks like sex on wheels. Like, her outfit is hot. Like, this is a hot dress. This is like a form fitting store dress. I bought this for her. She looks really good in this. Sorry. And she's wearing these high heels. [00:21:39] She's wearing these high heels like Louboutin, whatever they're called. And they're like, did I buy you those?  [00:21:46] Sarah: That pair? Yes.  [00:21:48] Jason: Okay. Yeah, I bought her these shoes and they're wicked uncomfortable.  [00:21:51] Sarah: They're so uncomfortable.  [00:21:52] Jason: Like whenever she wears them on a date.  [00:21:53] Sarah: Christian Louboutin, I have to say something about him. [00:21:55] He either hates women or he has no idea what women's feet are like.  [00:21:59] Jason: I don't know, but he's laughing. Or both. He's laughing all the way to the bank, whatever. Because they're not cheap. So, she's wearing these shoes that she can't even walk around in. And you're going to, there's no way she's going to go up seven floors of parking. [00:22:12] Sarah: I was on the third floor.  [00:22:14] Jason: Yeah.  [00:22:15] Sarah: Yeah, I got to the third floor and then I realized, oh, okay, so then I called you.  [00:22:19] Jason: Yeah, and then she eventually finds me. We get. You need to go back up to the car because I didn't grab your purse. Because  [00:22:26] Sarah: he left my purse in the car.  [00:22:28] Jason: Because I should have been psychic and known that she needed me to grab her purse. [00:22:32] Right guys. And so we go back up, but he had to let me back into the building because I was locked out and their thing wouldn't work to let me back in with my parking pass thing. So she comes down to the first floor, opens it up, lets me in. We begin in the elevator, we go back up the top floor. [00:22:47] I'm like, what were you thinking? And she's like, what were you thinking? You didn't grab my purse. You left my purse. I'm like, you're way more important than the purse, woman. And you're like going around crazy homeless people and like trying to save a bird.  [00:23:03] Sarah: It was saved.  [00:23:04] Jason: So  [00:23:05] Sarah: It was saved.  [00:23:06] Jason: Okay, good job. You did it. [00:23:08] Good job. You're like  [00:23:09] Sarah: We've been saving lots of animals.  [00:23:11] Jason: I think there's a Bible verse where Jesus says something or God says something about like your life is worth more than many sparrows or something like that. Yeah. So I don't know. Some of you don't know what the verse is.  [00:23:24] Sarah: I must've missed class that day. [00:23:26] Jason: Yeah, exactly. So anyway, we go up to the car, get this, come back down, we exit that same exit down on the first floor and I'm looking around, I'm like, this is not a great area. No, it was not.  [00:23:37] Sarah: It was bad.  [00:23:37] Jason: There's some rough characters and like, they're walking around and like,  [00:23:41] Sarah: bleh. In fact, we went to the comedy club and one of the comedians, he said, so now I have a bully and he's a homeless man and the same homeless man, he like, hangs out right outside the comedy club and he said, I'm here all the time. [00:23:52] And now the homeless man is like harassing me every single time. And he's like, so now I have a bully who's a homeless man. He's like, what do I do about that?  [00:24:01] Jason: Yeah, this is great. This is great. So  [00:24:05] Sarah: yeah.  [00:24:06] Jason: Yeah. So I may be able to keep Sarah safe from her bird rescuing adventures in the future. We'll see.  [00:24:13] Sarah: Stop the car. [00:24:15] When I tell you to stop, just stop the car.  [00:24:16] Jason: You still would have gotten out. I didn't want you to get out. We could have come back.  [00:24:20] Sarah: Oh, no. It could have died in the meantime. What if it went in the street? It tried to go in the street. I had to stop it.  [00:24:27] Jason: All right. I would rather a little bird die than my wife. [00:24:31] Sarah: So that's okay. Yeah. But I don't feel like I feel like there's a third option.  [00:24:36] Jason: Men, you know what I'm thinking right now? You know.  [00:24:40] Sarah: They're like, what is wrong with her?  [00:24:42] Jason: They don't think what's wrong with it. They just go, that's what women do. Like, and yeah, and guys understand. So.  [00:24:49] Sarah: We have to save things. [00:24:51] Jason: Okay, so, should we wrap this up? Anything else we should have? I didn't know we were going into this whole date, but I have a date planned for this weekend. It's the one that I thought had been the previous weekend. So we're, I'm taking her out again, but men plan some dates, show some leadership. Don't wait till she asks you to do things. [00:25:10] Try and Be proactive and find ways to do things before she asks you right. And if she's asked you to do things multiple times, you probably are being a lazy bum. Comfort ease and that's feminine, right? Everybody loves to see a woman in comfort in with her pillows and cushions laying out attractively but guys. They love to see guys at work, like they, man, you do the work. [00:25:34] If you are just sitting around watching football games all day and being a bum, then you are actually in your feminine as a guy and men are men of action. Get some stuff done, do some things, be proactive, improve yourself. So that's all I'll say about that. All right. So yeah. And join our program and get, join our program.

Fashion critic Samantha Tse speaks to Eve Jackson about the highlights of Paris Fashion Week, including Louboutin's swimming spectacle in stilettos, the return of Bella Hadid to the runway and our top picks including Alessandro Michele's debut at Valentino, and shows from Loewe and Courrèges.

In the mid-1970s, while touring a museum in his hometown of Paris, Christian Louboutin came across a sign that would alter the course of his entire life. Indicating that stiletto heels were banned on the premises, it depicted a pair of the shoes with a red “no” symbol over them. For Louboutin, the image sparked a fascination with shoe design that led to him sketching original prototypes as a young teenager, working in major fashion houses by 20, and opening his own salon in 1991. It wasn't long after starting his shop that his classic red-soled stilettos were born—and since then, Louboutin's distinctive footwear has been ever-present on runways, in movies and television shows, and on the shelves of high-end shops around the world. On this week's episode of Table for Two, the legendary designer joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses his childhood in France, the moment he realized the extent of his success, and the current state of men's fashion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From his red-bottom stilettos to his timeless Kate pumps, Christian Louboutin's shoes are beloved the world over—but when asked for his favorite piece of footwear he's created, he says it's the one in his head. On this week's bonus episode of Table for Two, Louboutin joins host Bruce Bozzi and discusses his preferred Paris café, the city that most inspires him, and his favorite films.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Sode of #GlitterLedger.  Alas, I put a majority of my trust fund into Eclipse, the scientific phenomenon not the L2, and a minority in GME so suffice it to say; its been an a week of deep introspection. Writ large. On the topic of disgraced Eclipses, Licensed Detective Glitter, C'est moi, was appointed to the dramatic Me Deux Harvey Weinstein on chain case by vote EIP-69. The only conclusion I can surmise is that L2s on the Solana Virtual Bedazzled Machine have not prevented harassment;  resulting in my passionate bullish sentiment. Ipso facto, I called Sue Wagner and asked her to purchase some more Eclipses, and she reminded me to stop mixing my medications and that I still owe her $1000 and my bad kid for my Kentucky Derby losses. Merde.  She'll have to wait, as I am Louboutin ankle deep in due diligence given my detective status in a cutting edge protocol. I orchestrated the investors in such a manner that Jump and Sequoia are co- leading both thinking they are the lead. The techstack is a Jesus Christ stroke of genius you see, a blockchain that already accomplishes what Avalanche does, both the token and the mountain, and tokenizes tasteful X - rated films using zk fruit rollupsSaid founder is a 23-year-old Stanford PhD dropout known for a physical fight with a tenured Professor over a heated debate surrounding an allegedly falsified email exchange between Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth Holmes and Queen Elizabeth. #DarkAcademia is where the crème de la crème of crypto emerges.  I digress. My guest. Wendy Diamond.  Entrepreneur. Author. Homeless Animal Saver. Founder. Crypto investor. Friends with Michael Saylor and the President of Mexico. W and I met at the Upper East Side's Italian Consulate raising money for Teen Mums with poorly decorated homes, a noteworthy and underfunded cause. Wendy is the founder of Wedo a globally internationally reckoned with organization that empowers women from all walks of life to stay the heck away from poverty buy BTC, not dr*gs.  We immediately bonded over our love for empowering women from Gstaad to @Monaco to Moscow, the brilliance of a two state solution, and an undying obsession with Coinfund. I knew Wendy was a glittering soul when I met her armed with her dog and infectious energy. She had daring ability to fight off a 5 year stalker while promoting homeless animal rights on the 2day Show. Like most eccentric, smokeshows deeply committed to ending sex slavery, she found Bitcoin. We discussed our thoughts on Merkle Trees and Hash Power and how taxes are ruining NYC. Bitcoin will save us from the bottom of Botswana to the 9th floor at Bloomingdale's 40 Karats. Wendy is a force, with the energy of a preschooler  and will stop at nothing to educate, empower, and support, elevate and celebrate women. Wendy also has endless documented dating advice. She was truly a Rolls-Royce Royce L1 Raw Bitcoin Caviar kind of pod guest who gave me a run for my dwindling money with her humor. #GlitterLedger

Idris Elba plays Ali's boss and you, too, would be throwing yourself at that man left, right and center. Zach and Sloane stay on-topic for the majority of this film because there was so much to discuss: villainous gay office friends, James Perse pale yellow safari shirts, skinny jeans, unnecessary belts, tiny vests, and platform peep toe Louboutin wedges.

Christian Louboutin opens up to Rozan Ahmed at BoF VOICES 2021 about identity, passion and building a brand worth $2.7 billion from the ground up.Background:Christian Louboutin's iconic red-soled stilettos have made him one of fashion's most recognisable names. But few know the story of the multi-faceted man behind the Christian Louboutin brand.Louboutin spoke with writer and cultural activist Rozan Ahmed at BoF VOICES 2021 about how his identity and upbringing have shaped how he approaches business. A major factor in understanding that identity was Louboutin's discovery later in life that he was actually the child of his French mother and her Egyptian lover.“To belong to different cultures, to different places makes you understand from the very beginning that the world has a lot of different points of view,” Louboutin said. “When you have different ethnicities, different cultures you're not divided, you're multiplied.”Key Insights:Throughout his life, Louboutin felt an affinity for Egypt, but it wasn't until his older sister probed his interest in the country that he was able to discover the reason why. “She asked me why I love Egypt so much… she said, ‘You could be looking for something'. I said, ‘Looking for what?'. She said, ‘Your father.'”Louboutin sold a 24 percent stake in his business in March 2021, a point he was able to arrive at through the work of many. As a leader, Louboutin doesn't accept all the credit for the success of his company. He explains, “When you're working with people and you respect them and you have everyone doing their thing the best because they like what they do, then you end up having a great team so you don't need to be a good leader.” On sustaining personal joy alongside professional success, having excitement in whatever he is doing is paramount for Louboutin. “I feel that passion comes first. And if passion comes first, you will never waste your time because you will always be happy with what you are doing. And if success is happening, it's a cherry on the cake,” he says.Despite his success, Louboutin never imagined building a multi-billion business — or giving up a stake in it. “I started the company three years ago with my two best friends, and I never thought of selling a part of the company,” he says. “I was not even necessarily interested in the fashion industry… I just wanted to have a shop with nice shoes. That's it.”BoF VOICES, our annual gathering for big thinkers, returns from November 28 to November 30, 2023, uniting the movers, shakers and trailblazers of the fashion industry with the thought leaders, entrepreneurs and inspiring people shaping the wider world.

Did you know that the very famous red bottom Louboutin heels have been strutting down the runway for 30 years? The luxury shoes are celebrating their 30th anniversary but their unique look started when a nobody designer was influenced by his assistant's red painted nails. Mr Louboutin said, “this will look good on shoe” and has been painting the town red, as well as the bottom of the shoes ever since. But this trademark has also brought a lot of difficulties as copycats who have tried to earn their own piece of the 1.6 billion dollar design. Sean was joined by Irish Times Fashion Writer, Deirdre McQuillan to discuss...

The very first time I ever walked into a Louboutin store to buy my very first pair of red bottoms I had dreamt about it, I had researched, I knew exactly what pair I wanted, and I knew what store they would be in, and I walked in. I flew to New York City to have it be a whole experience. Now, mind you guys, like I'm the girl who grew up in a trailer, one bedroom trailer that my dad and step mom slept in. We walk in and I am just filled with anxiety. My stomach is just a complete wreck and I'm like, “They're going to know I was the girl who grew up in the trailer. They're going to know I don't belong here. They're going to know I'm not like a multi-millionaire. They're going to know I don't come from wealth.” Everybody feels like an imposter, like they don't belong somewhere. If it's somewhere that they've never been or never spent a lot of time in. But I'm like, I kind of hope they know because the second that I feel like this is just normal for me or whatever. That's the second that it starts to lose the magic. I never want to lose the magic!

In this episode with a Red Sun Yoga studio owner Sarah Morgan discusses her experience with ClassPass and the challenges she faced in building a membership-based business with it.

Alyse Gaulin became the youngest executive for Christian Louboutin & reached the peak of what she viewed as a success. However, she quickly realized that while she was fulfilled in her career, she was not fulfilled as an individual. She had a gift for building out other people's companies, but if she was honest, she had been afraid to do it for herself. After many years with Louboutin, she found the confidence to start something of her own when she co-founded OWN IT. Having a gift for leadership and unlocking teams' potential, she serves as the company CEO. OWN IT is an all-encompassing coaching system that helps high-performers use data-driven frameworks to increase productivity, manage stress, and take back control of your life.In this interview, host Mindi Linscombe hears more of Alyse's fascinating story, how the bottom dropped out when she stepped into entrepreneurship, and how she strengthened her identity and holistic purpose in her journey. They also dive into real-life talk on running a business with your spouse, health, and tips for managing & growing a relationship without always "talking about business". Find out more about Aleyse at: https://alysegaulin.com/ and @agaulin Instagram!  Thanks for listening!

So, here is Johanna White.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 guests 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.All right, Be It babes. I am really excited because when I met this woman, first of all her accessories were just, you know, top notch and you know how I am when it comes to jewelry and accessories and all the things and then of course she said all the things that I truly believe in when it comes to your brand and presenting yourself in the world. And so I couldn't think of a better guest to have you hear about being it till you see it. Then Johanna White, who is just a gorgeous inside out and she has not only ways to talk about how she does it in her business, but also how she did it in her life. And I think we're gonna have a fun conversation going back. So Johanna, will you tell everyone who you are and what (Johanna: Sure) you're rocking at?Johanna White  Absolutely. My name is Johanna White, and I am the best in the world at helping people who are really amazing at what they do, finally look as good as they are through High Impact branding and design so that they can magnetize their dream clients and opportunities and finally be as delightfully expensive as they deserve to be.Lesley Logan  But just something I love that you say I love, Brad and I have like quoted you a few times on, it's delightfully expensive, I guess our friend Johanna would say. So I'm wondering though, like, first of all, can we all just like, did everyone just catch that she said, I'm the best at this in the world. Like, I just like you're such like it just flew off your tongue like no big, like, it's just, it's so awesome. And some so many people don't even say that they're like, "Oh, I do this." And it's like, "Oh, are you? Are you the best? Are you the number one? Are you the only one where you are?" Like, I love how you, you put that in there. Have you always been doing this role? Like what what got you into doing this? What was the path there?Johanna White  Well, I have been on a winding road that has had a lot of moments of being it till I see it. But I have been doing first graphic design and then expanding into branding, and big picture branding, clarifying your message, creating badass, high impact visuals, and then building custom websites that turn visitors into customers for the last nine to 10 years, really is when I stepped off on that journey. Before that it was a little bit of everything. Like I just made my way through high school barely surviving no clue what I want to do, have a lot of hobbies, but not sure which one to turn to a career. I tried to go to college for training horses, because I loved and riden my entire life. But then when I went to school for it and turned it to a career, it totally burned me out. And I hated it. And I came home like well, I just totally struck out wasted time, wasted money. I'm gonna go bury myself in a small cave of shame and depression for about three years. And I spent that three years working floor covering installing tile, I can put in a mean kitchen backsplash.Lesley Logan  Oh my God, what a journey. You're like, "I'm gonna like train horses." And then first of all, the fact that that was a burnout career who would have thought like everyone's like, "I want to work with the animals." And then, now you can like tile. That's a skill set. So many people would want to have.Johanna White  It is. But at that time, I did not know how to brand position myself. So I was just a commodity in any job that I did, and didn't pay well. And I had to get up at 5am and it was freezing cold and would crack my hands. And I played violin and rode horses and did a lot of things with my hands. It was super painful. And it took though that pain to finally nudge me out of my self pity and my fear of failing again. And I went back to college a second time when I felt way too old for it. I wasn't that old, but I was like 21 ...Lesley Logan  ... you're like, "Oh my God, I'm going back when people are graduating. Gosh, I'm such a failure." But I say that like tongue in cheek because like, I think I remember switching my degree like my, whatever my degree was going to be in I guess your major, whatever it's called. It's been so long since I've been in college. And I like could not like for besides the money, like I like absolutely did not want to be graduating at 23.Johanna White  I know. I know. I was like, "I'll be so old. And I'm hanging out with these 17 year olds." And oh, well, well, looking back I just laugh. And the fact that it took me even three years to work up the courage to go back because I didn't want to be three years older and just graduating. (Lesley: Yeah) But that time was passing anyway. And so now it was even three years later. And that's so second time though, I went back to school for graphic design, got really lucky to have a couple of professors who really instilled in me the love of all design, and also really taught me about having a reason for what you do, like great design should have a reason. And that gives it a powerful story. And that helps it communicate a message and, and it lessons in making the mundane, extraordinary, which those stuck with me a lot like for my clients. Even to this day, I'll make these kickass luxury business cards, which is something that most people think is either not important in this digital age, nobody cares, or business cards or something that people throw away. And ...Lesley Logan  You have the best business card. I still have yours. It's so nice.Johanna White  Thank you. But that's because I wanted to disrupt something that was old school, something that was considered non important. And in a digital world, give someone something that, you put it in their hand and they go, oh my God, and they pause what they're doing, they stop and they pad it. And they look, it's got gold edges, and it's so thick and it feels like suede. And what is this? It's like literally dripping gold. And, and I just, that was one of my first actual experiments in being it till I see it was I got tired of telling people, I could do premium branding for them, and decided it was time to just do it for myself (Lesley: Yeah) and show them as possible. But ...Lesley Logan  So so I love this because you're, you're ... you're basically going out and said, "I do premium branding. I do premium branding." And people are like, "Okay, I'm looking at your stuff." And not that, no, there's no way you could look like anybody else's stuff, but probably like it look like another brand new person site. And, you know, like, and so then you're like, okay, let me let me do some that stands out a little bit. And then looks like the brand I want to be when my brand has been more established. So you took the steps there. So some people might say this, like, fake it till you make it. But I think it's really important. You already were good at what you did. You already were wanting to work with these clients and had worked with clients. And that way, you're just actually making a bigger statement to show that like, this is the route that I'm going to this is the way I want to be perceived in the world.Johanna White  Yeah. So let's hop back one step so that we didn't leave them hanging in the past. And we'll go back to the past because there's a very important kick in the pants, be it till you see it moment that happened between college and today, which was a brain tumor that turned my world upside down, and ended up being the catalyst for me not graduating, and then going to get an agency job, but instead graduating, quitting my, like teeny tiny agency designed job and starting Design by Jo, which has brought us here, but but yes, in my business, when I decided that I was tired of having to explain why I was different than everyone else. Or what I could do, or why it was like I started to realize I was way under charging for services, and I got tired of explaining why it was worth it. And what made it different. And all of these things, I suddenly realized that it wasn't enough to just know that I was worth more. And to be telling people that I was worth more, I had to show up as worth it in the world. And so I went all literal, be it till you see it, which I call brand positioning in the branding world. And I said, I, what can I do to my website to make it a premium experience? Just to be honest, what can I do to my photos to make them feel like they're oozing luxury branding from their soul? And what can I do to myself as the owner of this business, to live as that person today? And so I did a couple of things that are super practical, and a couple of things that are super silly ... super silly.Lesley Logan  I love it. I love it. I think there's that's an equal balance.Johanna White  Yeah, so I actually I started Design by Jo in 2014, right after the brain tumor diagnosis. But for the first like five years of it, I just ran it like every other design business, very middle of the road, very much a commodity, looked like everyone else, and acted like everyone else too. Like, you want a brand cool, tell me what it should look like and what you want on it and your favorite colors, and I'll make it for you. (Lesley: Yeah) So I could make it really great, but not greater enough for it to be something that would change their life. What I (Lesley: Yeah) discovered was what they really needed was someone who could walk them through the whole process, help them with research, help them know what they should build their brand around, help them mind the content and the diamonds from their story, crafted into a message, turn it then that story into a picture that really is worth a thousand words. And and then tell that story and use those images to create a website that's an experience that walks your your ideal audience through a journey.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I think (Johanna: And ...) I'm so sorry to cut you off. I think like because I, because I have done like branding experiences and I and for the people listening like, "I not, need a branding." Don't worry, we're going into the brain tumor in a moment and that is going to be interesting for sure. But we had Hilary Hartling on who's like, even if you're you're a brand, whether you have a business or not like you as a person are brand so like, pay attention to this, but it's for whatever business you're in, you can either do it the way that everyone does it and then just like try to figure out how to stand out amongst the rest. Or you can actually go, "How can I do it differently than everyone is doing it?" So that people have an experience with me that makes me stand out as the person I say, "I'm better than," you know. So I think like, what's cool is that so many people that you did is so cool, because so many people are like, oh, well, everybody has like, for example, Pilates world. Well, everyone has packages. So I'm not going to do this thing over here. Because you know what I mean, like, you're like, well, where I live, everyone's used to like, unlimited memberships. And you're like, yes, everyone's used to just hearing someone go to your colors. But like, what is this? And I'm like, how do I help you tell the story. So I think it, it's scary to be different, but like, it makes the most sense if you want to have the life you want to have to be different than what everyone else was doing.Johanna White  Yeah, and you will get more noes at first, you will get better yeses, but you will get more noes. And those noes leave room for the more and more ideal customers, clients audience, the more leveling up of who you're working with. So my like, be it till you see it revelation was I was running around telling everybody, I'm different. And it wasn't working, I needed to do something that anytime they landed on some part of my brand, it felt premium and luxury. And so I went out. And this was back when I was still barely paying the bills, like, I looked like a commodity and I got paid like a commodity. And I said, if I'm going to show up as luxury, then here's what that Johanna looks like, acts like, and how she dresses. And so I went out and I bought this Hermes bracelet that was like a 10th of my annual salary. Surprise? (Lesley: Yeah) I bought these Louboutin heels. And I brought in my photographer and had gotten actually, I had those really cool business cards first made for this kind of launch. Like I knew I wanted to show up different. And then I planned a photoshoot around that card, I got these custom made nails with diamonds on them from this woman in LA. And we shot like, I found inspiration from luxury handbags and various things and how I wanted the lighting and we shot these photos, flung gold paint around the studio, did all this, I took three months off from taking any client work, I treated myself like my own client. And I said that I'm not going to be a victim of my circumstances anymore, or just accepting like, what comes to me or what has been. I'm going to pause, I'm going to choose who I want to be, and step into that nice room at. So I redid my website with the new photos, and I started like wearing the bracelet and wearing the shoes for interactions with people and just saying, what is one way that I can be this person today and feel like her now and I'm not advising people to go on a spending spree, fill up a bunch of credit cards and, like, fit in with the Joneses that wasn't it at all. I could have rented the bracelet, (Lesley: Yeah) I could have borrowed it from a friend. But I needed to believe that I was going to become that person very soon. And that the price was going to be irrelevant. So from my mindset, I needed to do that thing. And ...Lesley Logan  Well. (Johanna: I did.) I'm so sorry. You did and like also like, um, I think it depends on like, what it is that you're trying to be it till you see it, you know, like yours (Johanna: Yeah, yeah.) was like that was particular in it. And it made sense. And also like, we've all seen the people take pictures in front of like a random G Wagon in a parking lot and act like it's theirs. And you're like no, no, these are my things. And so I bought them. So they're my things and it's like completely in alignment. But I think like you could have probably there's a couple clients, you probably got that maybe you could have gotten had you not done this brand name. Like there's just there's every once in awhile, like some unicorn client could like land in your lap. But then you would have been waiting to make some money from some clients to then like, prove yourself to be this thing instead of like what you did was like, "No, I am this thing. I'm going to be at right now. So what do I have to do to make sure that everything, every aspect of what you experience with me, makes you realize that I am that person now." And I think that takes massive guts. First of all, I think being it till you see it always does. But that takes massive guts and also to like, pause your work so many people are trying to they have this like be it till you see it idea over here that they compartmentalize and then a 90% of the time they're just like them, they're just doing the other thing that they're hoping to get rid of someday and it's like you actually you can't be two people you're gonna go crazy. You have to go all in on the one thing and so that's a really that's really cool that you were able to do that.Johanna White  You got to commit but the rewards are great. The day after I launched my new website which you very kindly said there's no way It was terrible before, but it just literally looked like every other design portfolio and I would cringingly send people to it and say, "Look at my work, don't look at the website." Like, "I know, I'm telling you, I can do a good website for you. Don't look at my website, just look at my work." So if you ever feel embarrassed to send someone to your website, whether you're a designer or any other industry, you may not realize that that is important, but you are communicating with less confidence when you do that, like you're gonna show up as less proud of who you are. Because you know, they're about to experience something that feels off based on what you are. So like, for me leveling at my website, level that my confidence as well. I was proud to send people. And the day after I launched it, I was in a coffee shop working away. And some guy came up randomly asked if he could borrow my power cable because he had a Mac also, and it was fine. I was like, "Yeah, sure, no problem." He returns the cable in 30 minutes, he asked what I do, I give him my card. And he just goes, "Oh, wait here." And he runs back to his computer. And Google's me apparently, like, looks it up, finds my website comes running back over, he goes, "Oh my God, like your brand stopped being in my tracks. Clearly, you know, branding, and you know, luxury, and I need you to work for me. I need you to do some work on a project I'm on. Oh, by the way, I work for Google."Lesley Logan  Oh my God. That's insane. That is insane.Johanna White  So I can guarantee that had it been three months prior. And I had given him my old business card, which was like a little cool but not that much. He would have probably tucked it in his wallet. Thanks me for letting me borrow the power cable, walk back to his seat. But he said, "You get it. I need you right now." And stuff like that started happening. I had people emailing me, they'd hear me on a podcast. And then they check out my website. And I'd get this long email saying, "I need branding and it has to be you because I saw the Louboutin on your website and the way you did this and like you get me." (Lesley: Yeah) And it was me putting myself into the world of my ideal client. And yes, I was getting customers before because I was good at what I did. But I was spending way too much time working on projects that weren't making that big of an impact, because those people weren't aligned with what I could bring them. And when when I made the shift, I was able to go from charging, like $1,500 for a logo to 10,000 to 50,000 per brand package to 150,000 for brands and, and websites and like that quantum leaping in the types of clients I was able to work with and the types of service I was able to provide happened in the space of just a few months and then a few years like (Lesley: Yeah) so fast.Lesley Logan  Well, because you're also I mean, getting the referrals from the people at the level that you are trying to get at at the first place. So and you just like really stop people in your tracks. I think I've, while you're saying this is thinking back, like when I first became a Pilates instructor, you know, I was a teacher on the Westside of LA. And I, I really couldn't afford a bunch of Lululemon items, but I knew that like, all the clients that I'd be asking to pay me, that's what they'd be wearing. And I'm trying to get them to invest in somebody that they don't know that, you know, there's like I'm brand new teacher so there's no testimonials, there's no referrals, there's no anything. So how can I make them feel safe and seen as meet me as their teacher. So guess what? I budgeted everything out to where I could afford a new Lululemon outfit every paycheck, which is like freaking crazy. But as like, I'm gonna do this for a couple of months, so that I have enough that I can mix and match. So that I can like, be this person that they they see it at their level. Because these are people who I know I'm not a mom, so I don't have that relate to them. But they are eating at these restaurants there. This is what they want to talk about. These are the restaurants that eat out, this is the things that they drive, this is the places that they go. I have to I have to crossover in some way so that they feel like I get them. And so I had to make that investment. And then I became the teacher who has all these clients on the Westside who could afford Lululemon or whatever I want whenever I want it. But though that was like how I had to do it so that people could stop me and go, "Where did you get that sweatshirt?" While I was out in the area where I wanted the client so I can start the conversation. So I fully resonate with the story. I think there's different ways people can be it. I know. We'll come back to all of these things with your business but I do have to say that I'm sure the listeners was like, "Okay, so tell us about ... Are you okay with your brain tumor like what happened?" (Johanna: What the heck happened? You said brain tumor.) What's going on?Johanna White  Yes, so let's rewind this story a little bit to really the first time that I learned to be it till I see it. And it was the moment that totally changed my life. And the reason I'm still here today. So I told you, I went back to school, finally, at the ripe old age of 23, or 24, graduated for the second time. And I was like, "This is it, it's finally onward and upward. I'm going to move out of my parents basement, finally, and I'm gonna go find a job. It's a massive agency in New York instead of this small one here." And I was I was working at a design agency at the time, but it was very small, morale was super low, it was really like, the sky is always falling. And you never knew when you were gonna get fired, and there was really no ladder to climb, and (Lesley: So stressful.) so stressful. But I was convinced myself, I was just happy to have a job in design. And so I had worked my way through school at that job. And, but I graduate, it's onward and upward. And then two weeks later, I was woke up in the middle of the night with a skull pounding migraine, which I had never really had a migraine in my life before. That and the migraine lasted for four days. (Lesley: Oh my gosh.) And it was so intense, I had to sleep in a closet, because even a little pinprick of light would make me vomit. And, but I just convinced myself that it was too much time in front of screens, or some logical explanation for why my head is killing me. But when the migraine finally went away, what was left its place was sudden partial paralysis down my left side.Lesley Logan  Oh, my God, that's so scary. You're so young.Johanna White  Yeah. I was I was very scared. And like, I'd kind of dealt with low grade anxiety for most of my childhood to begin with. So you dump this in there. And I'm panicking. (Lesley: Yeah) And it made muscles in my neck atrophy, I couldn't raise my arm very high on the left side, I had, I couldn't speak because the vocal cords were paralyzed. And the most frustrating symptom probably of all was food would not go down my throat. It came out my nose instead when I tried to swallow. And so we very quickly realized something major is wrong. And started going first we went to an ear, nose and throat, who said these are really weird symptoms, sent you to a neurologist, who then did CAT scans and MRIs. And I was it probably took a week or two, to dive through all that. And then I was at work, working second shift, still trying to deny that there's anything really wrong with me. And I get a call from the doctor and he says we found a mass. And I immediately start asking, what does that mean? Am I going to die? What's happening? Tell me more. And he's like, we don't really know, tumor ... Right?Lesley Logan  ... we don't know. You're the brain doctor. You don't know.Johanna White  You said doctor, it's a brain, surgeon doesn't know, who knows. But that's when I found out that at least certain types of tumors are as unique as snowflakes. And each one has different things about it. And so they don't know. Plus doctors are often you know, they don't want to tell you something and then have it be wrong. So of course over the phone, he's not gonna tell me but ...Lesley Logan  Yeah. While you could be like driving or something.Johanna White  Yeah, well, he, he did make sure I was not driving and while I was sitting down, but so my life came crashing down around me. And I went home, told my family prepared for whatever is going to happen next. I'm prepared to lick my wounds, prepared to tell everybody, I have this thing, prepared for this and that, but the next morning, thankfully, a really good friend of our families showed up on our porch. My dad had called him and said, like, "Hey, Doc, this is what's happening." And he was a chiropractor. He canceled all of his patients for the day he showed up on my porch, gave me an iPad Mini loaded with every Bible verse he had found on healing. And he said, "This is tools for the battle and we're going to fight. Now grab your parents, we're going for walk, we're going to talk." And (Lesley: Wow) before I had a chance to go tell my sob story and become this like girl with a brain tumor, I need help. (Lesley: Yeah) He he jumped in and said some things that I did not want to hear, but ended up being the most helpful things that I could I've heard at that time, which was, Johanna, you have said your whole life that you believe in God, and you believe in healing. But you're not talking like it right now. And you're not acting like it. So you get to choose how this story goes and hear at the beginning, before you start saying and repeating what the doctor said, is your chance to change your story and say it differently. (Lesley: Wow) And so he challenged me. And of course, I had all the like, "Well, yeah, I believe in healing. But I've known these people, and they believed in it too. And they died. And I saw this person, pray over this for forever, and they never got healed." And he said, "Stop looking at anyone else. Their story is not your story. You don't know what's happening in their mind. You don't know anything? And it does you no good focus on that. All you need to focus on is what you claim to believe, which is the Bible. And every verse in here that talks about healing says he heals all who asks. No exceptions. That's what you need to focus on." And so I tried, failed, tried failed, like ...Lesley Logan  All right, thank you for sharing that because it's like it's not, it's like, it's one thing to go yep. And then and then you can say it, and there's going to be some dissonance, some days, because like, when you're tired, it's really hard to tell yourself motivating thing.Johanna White  Yeah. And when your body is not doing what you want it to, and you've always been a really strong, really fit, healthy person. And all of a sudden, you've got pounding headaches, and you can't work out and you can't swallow and nothing seems to be helping. It's really hard to keep saying, "I am healed, I will be healed, I believe that I will be healed." But I accepted his challenge to the best of my ability. And I would play verses on healing while I slept, and just let it be in there. When I would be in so much pain that I'd wake up. I would just start pacing and speaking them out. And I was still terrified, of course, because it ended up being like a two year journey from neurosurgeon to neurosurgeon, each doing more MRIs, each saying the results are inconclusive, brain biopsy, we stuck a needle in your skull, we still don't know the results are inconclusive. And so everything was so uncertain. (Lesley: Yeah) And I wanted certainty, even if it was certainty that I was gonna die in six months, at some moments that felt like a better thing than the results are inconclusive.Lesley Logan  Right. Well, because it's like, "Am I dying tomorrow? Do I have six months at least? Like what do I, what's going on?" And, and, and I also my brain is like, "So how are you eating food, though?" Let's talk on the not swallowing.Johanna White  No. So so what happened was, I accepted my friend's challenge to my faith very quickly. And I started standing on every verse I could. And if I couldn't speak, I'd call my boyfriend at the time, or my parents, and they would speak them over me. And within weeks to month, like I didn't really eat for about a month, and I just went down to skeletal. (Lesley: Yeah) But I would try, I try to like sip smoothies or little tiny things and get a little bit down before it would come up my nose. But that was the symptom I tackled first, and I just started, like speaking directly at it. And my symptoms started to get better. And even the doctors had said, like, a lot of this now is nerve damage, and it'll be permanent. And even if we are able to remove the tumor, these symptoms will still remain. And I said, no, they won't. Because it says that if I live by the flesh, I will die. But if I by the spirit, put to death, the misdeeds of the flesh, which are tumors totally a misdeed, my body was not meant to have this, then I will live. And I just kept saying that and my symptoms started getting better and better and better. And then I went to my first like, follow up MRI, and my symptoms are doing so much better than I'm expecting that they'll say it's smaller, (Lesley: Gone. Tumor is smaller.) gone. Yes, exactly. So my faith has grown as the symptoms have started to fade. And because I've been being it, and finally I'm starting to see it. And then they do that the scan and they come back they say, well, it's the same. Or maybe it's bigger. We're not really sure we used a different machine. It's still there. And in fact, here's probably the next like five symptoms, you're gonna experience. I mean your vision in your right eye and numbness in your face and you can put your jaw out and all of this stuff. And I went into that appointment full of hope and faith. And I left completely crushed because (Lesley: Yeah) now here was evidence that what I was is believing what isn't working, at least what I thought like evidence on a piece heartful ...Lesley Logan  What you were judging was working? Like what would be working, even though like other things were getting better, like you wanted that (Johanna: Yep) to be the marker, even though like, it probably wasn't the real marker that we should be paying. But yeah, I get you because ...Johanna White  Right. I wanted certainty. I wanted proof. I wanted to not sound like a crazy person saying I'm healed. But there's an MRI over here somewhere saying I'm not. So I wanted all of those things. And I went into that appointment like this high and left down low, cried all the way home woke up the next morning with all of my symptoms back, plus some new ones. (Lesley: Oh, no.) And that is when I realized the insane power of our minds. (Lesley: Yeah) Because I knew that like, okay, sure, maybe there's still some healing to go. But there's no way that it all comes back overnight reverses, just because I found out (Lesley: Yeah) but it did. And so I, I mean, that was awful feeling, but also kind of hopeful because (Lesley: Yeah) I was like, wait a second, I have so much more power (Lesley: Yeah) over this situation than I think I do. And I went back at it full bore like, well, I'd be working, I'd be playing sermons in my ears, headphones, just in the background, because I knew that that fear, extreme anxiety was doubling the symptoms or making them worse, because I'd go from like, partially collapsed throat to fully choking on the bathroom floor when I would get anxious and think about it, the more I think about the tumor, the more that spot in my head would hurt. The more I'd think about it, the more I'd like symptoms would start to show up again, and the panic would accelerate it. And I said so after round two, I was like, "Okay, I don't know yet for sure that I can tackle this tumor. But I know I can do something about the fear." And clearly the fear is having a big, nasty impact on my outcome. So I'm going to do everything I can to drown out the fear, which is like, it doesn't matter if it's a health issue or a business thing, or your bank account isn't showing up, like you want it to that fear as long as you're still focusing on it, is holding back the healing and it's (Lesley: Yeah) holding back the outcome and it's holding back that physical, like appearance of what you're going for.Lesley Logan  Which is what fear does, no matter if it's your health or anything, like fear just holds us back paralyzes and almost moves us backwards. It's it's it's that powerful.Johanna White  Yeah. Yeah. So I said, well, I'm going to tackle the fear first (Lesley: Yeah) if I can't tackle the tumor." And first I tried to just tell myself not to be afraid, like, "Johanna stop." Yeah, you can imagine that worked real well.Lesley Logan  Yeah, it's like telling someone to calm down when they're anxious. It's like that this actually like, ignites it even more, you know?Johanna White  Yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't just stop thinking about it. So I had to drown it out. So it became eight hours a day of listening to sermons, listening to Bible verses, reading everything I could on healing. I didn't care who said it, or what it was. I just did it. And and as I did that, the fear started to fade. And the healing returned rapidly, like symptoms gone again. And the fear faded beyond what it had ever been in my entire life. Like I had been fairly anxious as a child, as I mentioned, for no good no reason, just like lived in low grade anxiety, even that faded. Because I dug into what am I actually afraid of? (Lesley: Yeah) I forced myself to sit down and ask myself, "Am I afraid of dying?" Well, no, when I think about it, there have been many days in all of this pain, I actually wished for death. I'm not afraid of dying. (Lesley: Yeah) I believe in God, and I know where I'm gonna go when I die. And I'm not actually afraid of dying, but what I am afraid of, is living with a lower quality of life (Lesley: Yeah) with with going from being fit, healthy, inactive, to maybe being in a wheelchair, or on a feeding tube, or die, whatever you think.Lesley Logan  Having your left side disabled. Yeah, something like that.Johanna White  And if that happened, I thought, then I won't be happy. Because those things are what makes me happy being fit, running, jumping, riding my horse. That's what makes me happy. And if it's was gone, who will I be? But I realized, as I sat there, through the pain, that I could actually choose joy in the moment, no matter what was happening, and when I realized that joy was a choice and happiness was a choice, then there was nothing left to be afraid of, because it didn't matter how bad life got or whether this worked or not or whether I ever became healed, I could still have joy. And if that's all I was afraid of losing, then there's nothing left to be afraid of. (Lesley: Yeah) And like that just melted, the last of the fear. And the healing just kept coming. And, you know, I'm maybe not the smartest crayon in the box, because I went back for another MRI six months later. And at that point, my body is glorious, functioning fully. Everything is back, muscles that they said would never return are back and stronger than ever. (Lesley: Amazing.) But I want certainty. I think that that's the most important thing in life to never have to ever think about brain tumor again. And if some doctor can just chisel this thing out of me, (Lesley: Yeah) I'll be good. (Lesley: Yeah) Even though it's no longer affecting my life. And for all we know, it's gone. (Lesley: Yeah) But I go back and find this surgeon who says, "Yeah, this no big deal. I can help you. I've worked in this particular area, a lot of times, it'll be pretty low risk, just maybe a little bit of like, nerve damage on your jaw. And come back in three months, we'll do the surgery." So here I go, thinking I'm finally going to resolve this in the critical world.Lesley Logan  Settled. The last part of it, and this ready to go.Johanna White  Ready to go. And I show up three months later for this surgery. And they've got me prepped on the operating table, the anasist, ana...Lesley Logan  Physiologist. (Johanna: Thank you.) Yeah, that's a hard word. I can't spell it.Johanna White  And I apologize to all of them out there. But they're, they're ready to put me under and the doctor comes walking in carrying my MRIs and he looks at me goes, "I can't do this surgery. I changed my mind." And he says, "The risks are way high. It could put you in a in a feeding tube or in a wheelchair. And I can't do that to an otherwise totally healthy person. So it doesn't matter what your scan say, I won't operate on you unless your symptoms are also like back to what they were." We're in ... Yeah.Lesley Logan  What I mean like, yes. And also like, what?Johanna White  Aha. First the what, screamed and yelled and like you gotta be kidding me. (Lesley: Yeah) You couldn't have, you couldn't have looked at my charts like three days ago or three months ago, maybe and ...Lesley Logan  Yeah, like I'm here. I'm everything's prepped (Johanna: I'm ready.) I'm taking the time.Johanna White  ... who cares if it kills me, just like I just want to be done. Which was I'm very grateful (Leslye: Yeah) that he risked his, like, reputation to say that.Lesley Logan  I mean. It's so amazing ... (Johanna: But I was so mad.) listening, so amazing. And also like, like, of course, when we all want a doctor who's actually like, no, actually, I could screw this up. So we're not. I mean, like, bless him. But I understand like the devastation of like, because you plan like, okay, tomorrow, I'll be healing (Johanna: Yeah) from this surgery. And now you're like, "No. So, so what happened next?"Johanna White  So I finally realized that it if they don't care what the paper says, I have no reason at all to care what the paper says. And they want me to come back every six months and do like a watch and wait. And I was like, "Oh, heck no." I, my faith has grown. But I don't think it's grown quite enough for me to come back every six months, and be scared to death again, and then have to recover. So I am drawing the battle lines. I'm taking a stand. I'm doing what I should have done a year and a half ago, which is say, "Lord, you have healed me. And I trust that. And I'm just going to walk the rest of the way into it." And so when I stopped, like worrying about finally having some surgeon take the remnants out, the last of my symptoms faded away, and I haven't been back in five years.Lesley Logan  Wow. And you've been symptom free? (Johanna: Yeah) Our minds are so freakin powerful. Like, and by the way, y'all I'm not saying like don't go to your western medicine and get things checked out. Like please ... (Johanna: No ...) there's a combination here of like, massive faith in like what you're capable of. And also, and also having things looked at and if these doctors had other things to say where they could actually fix it without damaging you, then you would have done that. But that wasn't that's not possible in your situation. I have a cousin who has a couple of tumors and like, they're there, they're there and they actually affect him in a not so fun way. But like, you can keep going and that's what you've done. And if you make me think of, I think it's episode three with Amy Ledin. You know, she's had the diagnosis stage four cancer like four times now. And she keeps, she has her faith, she does the work. And then she also looks for evidence of people who've have survived what she's doing, she looks for anything like proof that it's (Johanna: Yeah) possible to survive. Like she had friends who were always looking at why did I get this? Why this happened to me? And I kept looking for the answer of why. And she focused only on that there's a future for her. And, and she has survived many times over and the people that were always searching for the wy have passed from the cancer. So it is powerful. That is the ultimate be it till you see it, because it's your life. And you're still doing it today. And I mean, I'm so glad that you're healthy and well. And, and also like, I think even on a even if you're listening to me, like I don't have a brain tumor, but I've got this pain here. It's like, it's not about telling yourself some that's not true, but it's about believing in the power that you have. And seeing how much can your mind, mindset support your health? (Johann: Yeah) You know, I think we ... (Johanna: Sorry.) Oh, I just think we outsource a lot of our health to, to getting that certainty and we forget that we actually have a bit of a role in it that we could play.Johanna White  A big one. I love what you said about Amy, I know her. And that collecting evidence is so important. That's what my friend challenged me to do is like stop looking at all the things that didn't work and focus on what did and collect that evidence. That's what you need to focus on. And, and people there were some people who would say, "Johanna, you just need to accept this, you just need to like, brace yourself for the worst." To what end? If I do that, I will definitely die. And I will definitely remain broken. But if I focus on ways that it can work, ways that I can be healed, and speak that out, there's a really good chance I'm going to be. So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with that.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Yeah. What seems to be working to?Johanna White  Yes. And I think what I learned the most was what you believe matters. But what you do about what you believe, matters even more, so that's why it matters to be it till you see it. Because it's not enough to just whether it's health, believe that you can be healed. But take no steps, speak nothing out, do no actions, tell no one. It's not enough to for me with my business to, to believe that I could be so much more than I was. I could help so many more people that I was. I could work at such a greater level than I was. I had to step towards it and become that in order for it like I had, it wasn't enough to believe it. I had to do something about what I believed (Lesley: Yeah) and, and that's why I started Design by Jo. Like, shortly after the diagnosis, I looked around and saw just hopelessness. And if I didn't know how much time I had left, I was definitely not going out like this. (Lesley: Yeah) Not going out leaving all of my potential on the table having never tried. But more importantly, I needed to believe that there was a Johanna, on the other side of this diagnosis. She was healthy, she was strong, she was successful. And I couldn't wait two or three years in a pool of uncertainty to then recover from that and then try to go be successful. I needed to start something right now that was the future Johanna's success. So I started Design by Jo and it didn't take off super fast one because I was dealing with a brain tumor. But but two there's just so much more for me to learn and so many things. If I knew this about business, when I started, I would be way further along than I am now.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I think like, well, thank you. First of all, thank you for sharing your whole entire story. And also thank you for sharing that it, you know, there was a little bit of a learning curve in that because I think people will go, "Okay, y'all, I believe it. And I'm taking action. And it's not I'm not getting the client yet or I'm not getting the thing yet. I'm not getting this." It's like yeah, but it's like it's a practice it's a muscle, the being (Johanna: Yeah) it's a muscle, that taking actions and muscle. And those ups and downs like you I want to go back to the beginning of the pod when you mentioned like you got a lot of noes. But then you got better yeses. And like those noes, teach us so much more about how we can be it till we see it, in the actions that we can take and how we put ourselves out there. Brad has a course called 200 re... like 200 rejections to success, because he's like the go for 200 noes for sure by the time you hit 200 you probably have a full clientele like you probably do because so we have a mutual friend named Renee who has who will have on the pod soon who had 100 rejections on her book proposal, but she got one and with the best person. So I Johanna, I could talk to you for ever. Our coffee chats do always go over. So we'll have to do this, we'll have to have you come back, I'm sure. But before that we're gonna take a brief break, find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you, and then also your BE IT action items.All right, Johanna, where do people get to know you, get to talk to you more, work with you?Johanna White  Well, first, you can visit my website, which is designbyjostudio.com. And just request a free console, let's chat about who you are as a personal brand, or who you are as a business and where in your life, you're, you find yourself just thinking you could be this and not actually being it, and how we can help you show up in the world. So that the whole world can see it, not just you. So let's talk. You can also find me on social at @designbyjostudio, both on Facebook and Instagram.Lesley Logan  Perfect. We'll put all those in the show notes below. And you're also going to want to tag, tag, tag Johanna and and the @be_it_pod with your takeaways for sure, because we want to, we want to know. All right, bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it, what do you have for us?Johanna White  Well, they can buy the shoes. So whatever the, whatever the shoes represent in your life, figure out who that next you is, how would she act and by one small thing, or one big thing or something to become that now and a lot of times just taking that action shifts your mind and you you become that person. And then they can pay attention to how they are showing up in the world because it's not just you who needs to see it. If you're wanting to be something and you're not that yet, you want the world to be able to see that and know you for it and love you for it as well. So talk, like look at your brand, whether you are a personal brand, you are part of an organization and you're wanting to move up, or you are your own business. Like that is literally what I do is help people become in the world, but they have known and seen about themselves in real life. So talk to someone who digs branding, loves branding, it doesn't have to be me. But don't be afraid to get some help. (Lesley: Yeah) Because that can be one of the hardest things to discern about yourself, and to bring to life. But so many business owners struggle through it on their own. And they think, well, that, you know, branding is not my strong point. But I just gotta do what I can and put a band aid on it. And eventually I will show up in the world as this magnificent human that I am. But what happens is, branding is happening all the time, whether you do it on purpose, or on accident, it's either happening by you, you're building those perceptions on purpose, or it's happening to you (Lesley: Yeah) by accident. And then what happens is you end up a couple years down the road with the visual brand that's held together by duct tape and band aids. And it's happened to you by default instead of by design. (Lesley: Yeah) And you look and you're like oh, I didn't work you collect your evidence that you didn't become what you were seeing because you didn't get intentional about it. (Lesley: Yeah) So get intentional about what you want to see and then start collecting that evidence like Lesley said earlier.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I love I love that evidence collecting we we make people do it on Fridays it's Fuck yeah, Friday and so you have to, you have to celebrate wins on Friday so that if you ever feel like nothing's going right and look back at what you posted last Friday. Oh actually had a win last Friday. Oh actually now that I think about I had win this Friday. But I think intentionality is so important and I gotta be honest, like the buy the shoes thing is such a it's the first time we've had it on the show and as the best advice because you put your feet in those shoes every day. And you will look at them where they are and you it's like the it's like a physical way of reminding yourself this is who I'm being right now. So yes to that... You make, I think I might go buy some shoes.Johanna White  Do it and don't hide them, don't hide them in your frickin closet. I actually built a little platform on my dresser for my Louboutin and then you know built the little shelf for the first time I got the Louis Vuitton bag that was for a photoshoot and then became the next level and like, I just wanted to see that woman every time I walk into the room (Lesley: Yeah) not just wait till I'm going out. SoLesley Logan  Oh my gosh, you're such an inspiration. I freaking love that you're in my life. Thank you for being here to share your story with our listeners.

When a caller brought up how the NFL Today (on CBS) staff dresses, we talked about Nate Burleson wearing Louboutin sneakers. Gio said he once donated his wife's shoe collection by mistake when they were moving.

Hour 1: There is not much of an update on the Damar Hamlin situation. The NFL is keeping the week 18 schedule as is right now. They also announced that they will not be finishing the Bills/Bengals game this week. Jerry has audio from Damar Hamlin's uncle who provides an update on the situation. We also heard from players who talked about putting their careers and lives on the line every day. David Tepper talked to Jim Harbaugh to see if there is interest in the Panthers job. We have great audio from Chris Simms vs the Sportscenter instagram account. Giannis scored 55 for the Bucks last night. The Rangers scored 3 times in the final period to beat the Hurricanes and Islanders won in Vancouver. In the final segment of the hour, Carlos Correa put out an Instagram pic of him and his son wearing baseball eye black and getting to work. We also talked about Jim Harbaugh as an NFL Head Coach.  Hour 2: Gio is already predicting the Giants/Vikings on Wild Card weekend with the Giants winning and breaking his Vikings' heart. The Eagles are 14 point favorites over the Giants since the Giants will most likely be resting players. Mikey Nichols calls in to talk about the Damar Hamlin injury. We talked about Nate Burleson wearing Louboutin sneakers. Gio said he once donated his wife's shoe collection by mistake when they were moving. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Damar Hamlin's Uncle appearing on CNN to talk about his nephew's progress. Aaron Rodger's talked about the dangers of football on the Pat McAfee Show. Ken Rosenthal expects the Mets deal with Carlos Correa to be dramatically different than was first expected. Jerry went around the NBA last night. Dana White talked to TMZ about a video that surfaced of him and his wife slapping each other in a bar. The Rangers beat the Hurricanes with 3 goals in the third. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer tells us of a traffic adventure he had Monday. Does Waze sometimes not send you the fastest route because it doesn't want everyone going the same way? A caller wants crumple zones on helmets. Another caller wants magnets that repel each other in helmets to soften the blow.  Hour 3: Gio wants Zach Wilson to start this week with the message of play loose and let it rip. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Julian Love talking about the Damar Hamlin injury. Jerry Jones was asked about resting players and he doesn't like that idea. Giannis had a huge night for the Bucks, scoring 55 points. We also get confused by the saying ‘don't duck smoke'. The Sacramento Kings announcer has been calling their games for 37 years now. In the final segment of the hour, a caller wants to know how much an offensive coordinator affects a QB.  Hour 4: There is a crazy video of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green passing him the ball even though you can't see it. A caller says Zach Wilson is a douche for sleeping with his mom's friend. Another caller says Bill Belichick is the one who ruined Zach Wilson and Sam Darnold. Jerry returns for his final update of the day but first Gio tells us he's doing dry January. Jerry also had Neil DeGrasse Tyson on when Boomer & Gio were off and Eddie wrote in with a very confusing question. The Jazz thought they won the game and the announcer went crazy. But, they didn't. Chris Simms has some tough talk for the Sportscenter Instagram account. In the final segment of the show, Gio said the Giants fans are all over him in the newsroom. Dov was one of them and he also has bad breath today. If you could ask Zach Wilson one question today, what would it be? Boomer said he wants to watch film with him. Eddie plays a hilarious drop which is worth listening to.
