Speaker 1 (00:03):
Transmitting Hello, that's good, Welcome to the show. Today is
International Women's Day. Let me say more in studio morning Amy,
How are you doing good? How about you good? Tell
all of our listeners what today International Women's Days about.
It's recognizing amazing women all over, lifting each other up,

(00:27):
encouraging people that are listening, and just amplifying women all around,
promoting them left and right. So that's what we're trying
to do today. I mean today we will do an
all all women dance party, all women artists. We will
have Andrea Kramer from ESPN, we will have Kendra Scott
on Amy's doing all the tell me something good, You're

(00:48):
doing the good News countdown. It's all about women. It
is Today's say. There's gonna be a lot of me today.
There's a lot of aggy today. That's right. Bobby's lifting
me up. I'm lifting her up. It's right. I thought
I lifted her up a high as I could. I
was wrong. I can lift even harder. Well, I just
want to encourage too. It's also a day to just
remind everyone listening to try to lift up women in
their lives. Like whatever that looks like for you. Can

(01:10):
you shop a women owned business. Can you support someone
on Instagram? Can you send a text to someone in
your life that you look up to that inspires you
and let them know that That's all about empowering women.
That's what today is about. It can me the smallest gesture,
but it can mean the most to someone. Now, what
we're doing throughout the show, much like fourth grade, I said, hey,

(01:31):
you guys, create a ninety second report on a woman.
It had be in your life, or just do you
know about maybe somebody famous in history alive not alive.
There were no rules. It just had to be an
awesome woman. So we're gonna do ninety second reports. Amy's
at first ninety second presentation. Forget the old women, Amy,
who do you have over there? Robin Roberts? Okay, here

(01:51):
we go. Amy is now doing Robin Roberts and begin,
So make your mess your message. This is something I
learned from my girl, Robin Roberts. Her mom often said
it to her, encouraging Robin not to hide but to
share more of herself when life through her some curveballs.
This became the catalyst for her success. Now a lot
of us know Robin from Good Morning America, but She's

(02:14):
been killing it way before then. She was a basketball
star at Southeastern Louisiana University and was later inducted into
the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Throughout school, she stayed
close to her true passion and broadcast journalism, which really
began to take root in her life when she landed
a sportscaster position on ESPN. Now, she certainly has an

(02:36):
impressive resume, but it's her vulnerability that has captured our hearts.
She inspired us all when she courageously invited us to
walk alongside her as she faced two life threatening illnesses.
Her twenty twenty Primetime special Robin's Journey, and her best
selling book Everybody's Got Something became her platforms for sharing
her story, making hers her message, and encouraging though on

(03:00):
a similar path, Robin is a trailblazer and an inspiring
leader for all women. And I'm honored to call her friend,
being that we occasionally DM on Twitter. Okay, maybe we've
DM like twice, but still she's my friend and I
look up to her. So thank you, Robin for all
that you do and just being an inspiration to me
because we have a lot in common. You know, she
played basketball I played seventh grade basketball. She's in media.

(03:22):
I'm in media. She has makes her mess, her message.
We have pimp enjoy love you Robin there it is
all right, RAYMONDO. You're up next, ninety second presentation for
Internet and Old Women Day. Yeah, Bobby, I have little
peanut from Brooklyn. Wait what, Judge Judy, the title of

(03:45):
your book report. I'm already intrigued it. I'm starting your
ninety seconds. Go ahead. She was really sure. It wasn't
good at ballet, piano or dancing. She didn't even think
she was going to be famous. But she was a
good talker and she always enjoyed court shows, so she
knew law was going to be what she did. There
weren't many women in the field, no lawyers, judges really
that were women. It was a male dominated industry. So

(04:09):
she went to law class. There were one hundred and
twenty six men and one woman. That woman, Judge Judy.
She didn't fit in. She was treated a little different,
but that drove her. She was the only woman in
her class and she finished by the age of twenty three.
All the dudes were still in law school, probably going
to parties. Taken forever. She was already in the jury

(04:32):
system at that age of twenty three, which is crazy.
They said it was extremely fast. She was petite, but
that didn't stop her. Behind the desk. She was known
as the toughest judge in America. She did over twenty
thousand cases. And get this, that was before she was
even on TV. She didn't get the show till she
was fifty three years old. It was a sixty minutes interview.

(04:55):
They just came in, interviewed her and said, Wow, this
lady is a pitbull and fierce and there you go.
After that, she gets the show. The rest is history
in a male dominated field. And oh yeah, she became
the highest paid TV host, making over one hundred and
forty seven million male or female. She's the highest paid.
Neighborhoods are now safe. I'm actually a little scared of

(05:18):
a little peanut from Brooklyn Judge June Good. Wow, her
net worth is four hundred and forty million dollars. All right,
nice job, guys, we'll do some more later on the show.
Eddie and I have lunchbox more than we all have
some Eddie, who's yours on? Oh mine is a woman
that I guarantee you don't know her name, but you've

(05:39):
definitely heard her work. I'm gonna leave it right there. Interesting. Yeah,
because I say her name right now, you guys are
be like, who's it? Just wait and see International Women's Day.
It's the good news countdown, counting down the biggest good
news stories across the left. Usually I host this, However,
today Amy, since International Women's Day, it's all out to you.

(06:02):
Thank you for the honor. I got a lot of
good stories about women doing good things. So there's no
Ohio kindergarten teacher named Monique Waters and she does daily
affirmations and fist pumps with her children to start the day.
And she just went viral after this video was posted
on Instagram of her motivating her kids. So I got

(06:40):
a shout out this girl. Scout Troop in Iowa. They
have shattered its cookie sales goal for twenty twenty one,
selling an impressive five thousand boxes. Now what's even more
amazing about these girls is they have overcome a major obstacle.
They're homeless. These are all girls that are a part
of Troop six four two to four and they live
in an emergency homeless shelter and they're described as not

(07:01):
only enthusiastic, but entrepreneurial. No, that's great, all homeless. Number three.
So there's this ten year old girl that wanted to
help out her dad's roofing company. It's called Atlanta Premiere Roofing.
So she started him a TikTok account and her first
video was her talking to your dad about his business.
And now he's getting calls non stop. Here's the original

(07:23):
video that has over one million views. Why do you
want me to make you a TikTok account? Okay, you
heard him, guys, they'll call him that this number. Oh
my gosh, guys, thank you for all the support, Thank
you for everything. Me and my dad are so grateful

(07:45):
for you all. We've been getting a lot of calls
this morning, so thank you very much. So. The Fortune
five hundred, which is the ranking of America's largest companies,
reached a new record for women leaders in twenty twenty,
with thirty seven of the companies being led by women,
as compared to thirty three last year. Now, the new

(08:05):
high for women leaders marks a continuing trend of more
women's CEOs, which is awesome because back in the day,
there was only like two women CEOs on the Fortune
five hundred lists, So let's keep this trend up. Why so,
this grandmother in Texas needed open heart surgery, but she
had to get vaccinated before that could happen. Well, she
couldn't get an appointment, so she went to that app

(08:26):
next door and tried to see if there was any
leads in her area. Well, this woman, Christy Lewis, who's
fifty years old, came to the rescue and said, Hey,
you know what, you can have my appointment, you take
my vaccine. Well, they ended up going to the appointment
together and they explained the situation and the people in
charge decided, Hey, we're just gonna go ahead and give
both of you the vaccine. Oh wow, Yes, they were

(08:47):
just gonna be okay, we're given the other lady, they
give them both. Yep, that's why I need to do.
Find somebody with a heart that's women supporting women right there, Yeah,
that's where women they get it. Back to knee. All right,
there you go the Good News International Women's Jay and
the Bodybone Show. Amy run into one of our old interns. Yes,
so I think I've told you how my dog just

(09:08):
has this crazy anxiety. We're trying to figure out ways
just get her energy out more than just what we
can do. And so my friend Abby told me about
this place called pop Stars and they will come and
like walk your dog or run them or whatever. And
so they show up to my house and I opened
up the door and it's Lexi and I thought, oh
my god, she's like, you live here, this is your dog?

(09:29):
And it was like, yes, this is so crazy because
not only is she our old intern, but Lexie Hayden,
she's also a country singer songwriter and we play her
on Women and by her country and everything. So it's
just really fun to just have that nice surprise and
to know that my dog is in really good hands.
Lexi's on right now. Hey Lexi, Hey everybody, how are you.
I'm good. I am still laughing about that story because

(09:52):
Amy wasn't even the one who set it up. It
was Shannon. So I thought I was walking Shannon's dog
all morning. So when did you guys see each other
when she got there? To when she when she came
to the door and brought the dog back, and that's
when she was Yeah, she looked at me and she's like, wait,
you live here, and thought, oh, yeah, you're walking Kara
so anyway, it was a nice surprise. Well, Lexie, now
that you're a big country star, do you still remember

(10:12):
Amy or No? Definitely remembers the little people. That's what
we like about Lexi. You know, Lexi still remembers a
little people. How's how's life and country music? How's that going?
It's good. I actually just got back from Key West
yesterday and I played Joe's and Q West all weekend,
so that was super fun. So you played live shows
with real humans? I did. There was some plexiglass in
front of me. And actually the mask mandate in Key

(10:34):
West is a lot stricter than you would think. What
do we not know about being a new artist in
country music? It's just a huge roller coaster. One day
it's up, one day it's down, and you just got
to keep grinding. You know, you put out you heard right,
it's six songs. You put that out last year in
twenty twenty. How's that doing for you? It's so great?

(10:55):
And I know it's like a weird time to be
putting out music because you can't really tour or anything
and trying to do the TikTok thing and get people
to notice. But I mean it's been great. It's been
fun and just trying to write for the next project. Now, okay,
I'm gonna play their seven songs on the story. I'm
gonna play for all of our audience here because I

(11:15):
do program me into the Women of Our Country sometimes
I'm gonna put you now on this show. We're gonna
play sad songs from Thank You So Much. You're welcome.
Tell me about this song before we play it. So
I wrote this with my producer Derek George and Michael White,
and it was the fifth single we put out. I
wasn't expecting I mean, I wasn't. You never expect anything

(11:39):
as an artist, but it did really well for me
and ended up on like five Apple Music playlists, Spotify playlists,
and then it was the first song to be on
the Women of I Our Country show. So this one
definitely surprised me. What do you remember before I played
the song? What do you remember about interning here on
this show? Because that's been how many years ago was
that Lecy I was twenty I'm twenty seven now, so

(11:59):
that we've first got here, we can't even have interns now,
we haven't. They haven't let us have interns in years.
Because of some law now where you got to pay
people to work who knew But when you yea, what
do you remember mostly about interning here? That was like
the best summer ever, like so much fun, like being
twenty years old, being in Nashville for the first time,
meeting every country music artist you can ever think of,

(12:22):
and just making friends with every intern that was. That
was like one of the top summers ever for you guys.
Check out LEXI. Give us your Instagram name, Lexi so
people can follow you. Um Lexi Hayden Eli x I,
E h A y D. The Latest from Nashville and
Tullywood and number two thirty second Skinny and a special
edition of the thirty second Skinny For today's International Women's Day.

(12:46):
Here are some female artists talking about their big hits.
Mary Morris revealed an unexpected reaction to her song Girl.
I've had a lot of guys tell me that the
song and watching the video really opened their eye to
their relationship with their girlfriend or their wife or their daughter,
and so I thought that that was really cool to
not just have that female reaction, but also the men

(13:10):
that have told me that it affected them as well
in a positive way. Lauren Elena Shares who inspired her
to write road Less Travel. When I was growing up,
my favorite artist ri Shani Twain and Martina McBride and
all of these really empowering women that meant the world
to me and made me feel so good about myself
and I, you know, with this writing process, I was

(13:31):
trying to write songs that mean something to me. Reba
McIntyre on why she recorded the song I'm a Survivor.
I'm a Survivor is a song that I fell in
love was the first time I heard it because it
is dealing with a woman being strong and she perseveres,
she goes home with life. I'm Morgan number two. That's
your skinny hawt. It's time for the good news. So

(13:55):
since it's International Women's Day, I want to share this
story about a woman who is really making a difference
for her community. Her name's Katie, and she saw an
abandoned lot in Detroit and she envisioned a better use
for the space. So she bought the lot and has
turned it into an ice skating rink for the neighborhood
kids to use. And here's the clip of Katie talking
about everything being donated by the community. Every single donation,

(14:19):
everything we've done has been free and from the community,
so it's made it work. But the kids shop with
just the excitement of getting on. Yeah. I just love
that she had a vision for this parking lot that
nobody else saw and she's making it happen. That's cool.
That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good,
gone ahead. Sorry today. This story comes to us from Phoenix, Arizona.

(14:42):
A man was at home Sunday night when someone was
trying to break into his apartment, so he called nine
one one, Hey, someone's trying to break in. Send the cops.
Cops came. Only problem is he forgot to hide all
his drugs. He was dealing drugs out of his apartment.
He had all of them sitting right there on the
kitchen table, and he didn't realize he can get arrested
because they were trying to break in. So they arrested

(15:02):
in bra all sorts of felonies. I'm lunchboxed at your
bone Head Story of the Day, International Women's Day and
the Bobby Bones Show with Amy Brown. So something that
empowers me, the boast about being a woman in twenty
twenty one is seeing other females do really big things.
I mean, no matter your political views, it's pretty legit
to see a female vice president. A lot of other

(15:23):
women way before now fought really hard for equal rights
and they aren't around to see the fruits of their labor.
But for me, being a woman here in twenty twenty one,
I'm thankful for those past women so that I can
witness history being made. It's pretty awesome. The Bobby Bones
Show celebrating International Women's Day. On The Bobby Bones Show,

(15:45):
now Amy McCready. I thought it's about time we brought
a parenting expert onto this show. I feel like we
all need it. We all have questions, right, so we
brought into let me let me say if you think
about Amy before I pull her up here. She is
the founder of Positive Parenting Solution. She's the author of
two best selling parenting books, If I Have to Tell
You One More Time and The Me Me Me Epidemics.

(16:06):
She's been seeing everywhere from CBS, This Morning, Fox and Friends,
Rachel Ray, Steve Harvey, CNN, the doctors, and others. She's
probably a little too smart to be on this show,
but we're extremely happy she's here. Amy McCready everywhere. Hi, Amy,
how are you? I am great? Thank you so much
for having me. Well on this show, we have I
mean at least four members of the show have kids,

(16:27):
so I've collected a lot of questions. I don't have kids.
It's about time for me to start having kids. I
think that happens in the next couple of years. But
we have a lot of debates on this show about parenting,
which is where you come in. So we're gracious for
your time, and I want to start with his first question. Eddie,
my best friend, one of our producers here. He's been
paying his kids money for doing things in their basketball games,

(16:47):
like making shots, steals, rebounds. How do you feel about
a parent paying their kids for sports. On the surface,
that may make sense, but the research actually shows that
when we use external rewards, whether it be money or
gift cards like Amy was talking about with doing chores,
it actually erodes the kid's internal interest in doing that task.

(17:11):
So it may work in the short term, but when
you think about it, when we use rewards, it sends
the message to our kids that, you know what, this
must be really hard or a really undesirable task if
I'm willing to pay you for it, and then over
time what happens is that the rewards lose their luster.
So you know, a five dollar bill may be really

(17:34):
motivating at first, but then after a while you have
to keep up being the auntie and so over time
it's just not sustainable. And you mentioned Amy. We have
two Amies here, but Amy, my co host, she did
she said, Hey, I've got all these old gift cards,
and you let your kids draw out of like a
bucket if they do a task right, right, and it's
not for their every day they have chores that are
just expected of them as part of the family. Like

(17:56):
there's things that are expected. There's no monetary gain from
them at all, whatsoever. I guess I just thought the
grab bag of the gift cards might be incentive to
do extra things. So yeah, I mean, I guess that
makes sense though well, and I think too, And you
said that before in the show, Amy, like that you
expect your kids to contribute because they're members of the

(18:17):
family and everybody has to contribute for the family to function.
But what you described I kind of call jobs for hire,
so things that are outside of their normal responsibilities. If
you want to pay kids to do that, like it's
fair way to make extra money to say for things,
or you want to reward with a gift card. Nothing
wrong with that, but it's outside the scope of what

(18:37):
they're normally expected to do. You guys takeing notes over there.
Oh yeah, but that's why I yes, I'm still can Yeah.
Amy McCready's on our instagram is positive parenting Solutions. What
about whenever a parent looks down and goes, you can
eat everything on that plate, or you're not getting out
of that chair. How do you feel about that? Well, again,

(18:58):
we as parents, I think, do things with the best
of intentions, but sometimes it just sends the wrong signal.
And in that situation with the food, again, it becomes
a task, a burden, something the kid has to do,
rather than we want them to learn to eat because
it nourishes their body, it keeps them healthy. That's why

(19:18):
we want them to exercise or play basketball or all
those things. We want them to foster that internal motivation
to do those things. But when we kind of force it,
you have to eat this, so you're not leaving a chair,
you're not getting dessert until you eat your broccoli. Then
it makes broccoli the really yucky stuff that they have
to stomach just to get to the good stuff with

(19:38):
a dessert. So I'm kind of a fan of just
teaching about healthy eating options and making it a pleasant
experience at the table for everybody, and that usually works
that best in the long run. You on this show,
there's a debate because there are kids age thirteen all
the way down to two, and it's a what age
is the safest and healthiest for a kid to get
a cell phone? What do you think it is? Well,

(20:00):
I get this question all the time, and I don't
think there's a magic age. I think it's when the
child is ready for it and when he needs it.
So I usually ask three questions, and the first one
is do they actually need it, like during normal times
when kids have after school activities and they're getting picked
up and they may have to coordinate rides, like that's

(20:20):
a reason that they need a cell phone. The second
thing is do you feel like they're responsible enough to
use it safely and to follow your rules? So you
have rules for technology, can they follow those? And if so,
then perhaps they're ready for a cell phone. And then
the rule or the third litmus test kind of has
to do with a parent. So are you committed to

(20:42):
doing the training on how to safely use it, are
you willing to follow through and the boundaries that you've set,
And are you willing to model responsible behavior with technology?
So if all three of those conditions are met, then
I think, yeah, it's fine to get a cell phone,
but obviously start out with the starter phone without internet
access and let them learn how to use it successfully

(21:03):
before they go to a more advanced phone. We're going
to come back for one more segment with Amy McCready
where I want to ask about a couple of things.
One spanking. Also want to let all of you guys
ask a question about your kids specifically, and I want
to ask about when do you start talking about the
birds and the bees with kids? Oh boy, because I'm
still waiting to have that talk. So I'd have that
talk with me, all right, Amy McCready coming back International
Women's Day on The Bobby Bone Show with Amy Brown.

(21:25):
So when I think about the next generation of women,
I just hope they continue to rise up. I mean,
women before us did it, we're doing it now. But
I hope the future generation just kind of blows us
all out of the water with their strength, their tenacity,
their ambition, their ideas, their talent. I mean, really, the
list goes on. I mean, women just flat out are amazing,

(21:46):
and we always have been. But I guess when I
yeah think about the next generation, I just hope that
they don't have to work as hard proving their worth
at all, that it'll just be known and completely understood
by all The Bobby Bones Show celebrating International Women's Day
on The Bobby Bones Show. Now, all right, so around

(22:08):
the room, all you guys will ask Amy a question. Okay,
we'll come to you have a couple other things I
want to ask first as you guys prepare, It's about spanking.
To spank or not to spank? And that is the question.
That is the age on question, isn't it? And I
know family philosophies differ on this, but as a parenting educator,
I think there's always a more effective option than spanking

(22:31):
for so many reasons. I mean, there's a growing body
of research that shows that kids who are spanked at
young ages and I'm not talking about abuse, so I'm
talking about a swat on the bottom. The research shows
that those kids tend to be more aggressive and then
they're prone to more behavior problems and adolescents. Spanking also
sends the message that you know what, it's okay for

(22:51):
you to let your anger out in frustration by hitting
somebody else, or that a stronger, more powerful person can
hit a small or less powerful person, And that's not
the long term message that we want to send. On
a very practical level, what happens when a child is
being spanked, They go into that fear mode, right and

(23:14):
for any human, when we're experiencing fear or pain, or
anxiety or shame, we shut down and the learning event
isn't actually taking a place. So there are so many
more aspective parenting tools that actually help teach the kids
the lesson help them make better choices for the future,
rather than spanking or punishing them for something that's happened

(23:36):
in the past. I have one final question for her,
then you guys can ask yours, and then we have
exhausted her time. We have an expert on. We like
to squeeze as much out of an expert as we
can when we get them on here, what's the age
for the birds and the bees? Talk? Well, that talk
should start early and happen often because the sexual researchers
say that ten is the new sixteen, so girls and

(23:58):
boys are going through pretty earlier than ever. And when
you combine that with everything are exposed to in the
media and on the internet, we really have to up
our game there and have that conversation often. But it
starts early with a lot of little conversations. It's not
one big talk, so we can start when they're toddlers
by calling all their parts the right names and having

(24:21):
those conversations. Again, the research tells us that kids are
way more comfortable talking about that than their parents are,
so it's kind of our job to, even if we're
not comfortable, fake it, act comfortable, and try to have
those conversations as often as you can, because obviously, when
kids are in their tween and teen years, we want
them to feel comfortable coming to us. Our job is

(24:43):
to give them the right information so that they can
make informed choices, but obviously that are aligned with our
family values. Amy McCready's on with us. You can follow
her on Instagram at Positive Parenting Solutions. Amy. What is
your questions? Well, I have a thirteen year old daughter,
actually she'll be fourteen really soon, and she's super responsible

(25:04):
wakes up for school on time as always, in the car,
ready to go, does all her homework. But on Saturdays
she loves to sleep like she could sleep until two
pm if I don't wake her up, and most Saturdays
if I let her do it. But then I wonder,
what should any teenager be allowed to sleep until two pm?

(25:25):
And part of me starts to feel like I'm not
making the right decision. So is it okay one day
a week to let her have that morning? I think
it is, as long as she's getting her other responsibilities done.
She seems healthy in other ways, she's getting outdoor activity.
You know, for younger kids, if they're kind of sleep
deprived during the week, they actually can't catch up. But

(25:47):
for tweens and teens, you know, if they're a little
sleep deprived during the week, they actually can Their bodies
can catch up on the weekend. And it sounds like
that's what she's needing. So she sounds super response and
I'm sure she's healthy, so I don't see a big
problem with it, as long as her weekends are fulfilling,
you know, once she gets up, Oh, she's gonna love you, Eddie.

(26:10):
You're on what would you like to say yeah, Hi, Amy.
So we're talking about this me me me syndrome, and
I feel like I go through this with my kids
all the time. All they think about is me, me, myself, myself,
and not about others. And then we on the show
we read stories about these kids that are donating thousands
of dollars from this lemonade stand that they start, they
start or whatever, And if you have any suggestions or

(26:32):
recommendations to get kids to stop thinking about themselves so
much and start thinking about, oh, like, let's help other people.
And I feel like I do a pretty good job
being an example. So is there is that one way
to do it? And are there any more ways to
do it? There are? And you said the most important
thing is be the example you want your kids to be.
But I think you could take that one step further

(26:53):
and really make it a family value. So one of
the tools that I love to teach is the family meeting.
And it's like once a week we get together, we
talk about the family calendar, we talk about what's going on,
we have a family fun activity. It's a great ritual
to start. But one component of that for you could
be all right, what is our family gratitude. What is

(27:15):
our family gratitude exercise for this week or what is
our family philanthropy, our giving, whatever that happens to be.
You can actually have some focus that the whole family
engages in for that week, and that really then reinforces that, oh,
this is who we are, this is part of our
family value. And then obviously we know that kids take

(27:35):
that with them and we'll start to act in those
ways on their own. All right, one more question lunchbox. Yeah, Amy,
I got a que I got two and a half
year old and time out. We're trying this time out thing,
and half the times he'll do stuff and look at
mean and go go time out like he likes time out.
But then when I'm really angry and I do want
to put him in time out, he won't stay in
time out? So what do you do? Oh, that is

(27:58):
the classic dilemma. And you're right, especially if you have
a strong willed child. They're like yeah, right, like how
are you going to keep me in time out? And
as he gets a little bit older, like what are
you going to do? Sit on him to keep him
in the time out chair? So again I like to
look at Okay, what is the specific behavior that we're
trying to change, Like, can you give me an example
of something he would go to time out for, Oh,

(28:19):
he has a little brother and he'll just take toys
and hit him with the toy. Oh yeah, not good. First, obviously,
supervision for a young child like that is super important.
But the other thing that you can do is just
redirect him in the moment to something else that is
more interesting. But putting it in time out either gives
him a big hit of attention because he has all

(28:41):
of your attention on him at that moment, and or
escalates the power struggle, so it becomes this battle with
you and he's not even thinking about the toy anymore.
One of the great solutions for that toy thing is
if you have you can kind of have like a
sharing list where let's say one is trying to steal

(29:02):
a toy from the other, you could say, oh, you
want to use the toy, let me put your name
on the sharing list or on the waiting list, and
that way they have to wait till you know it's
fair turned for the toy. But for that general kind
of hitting stuff, it's especially a child that young, it's
more about just keeping at such a tight eye on
them all the time and then redirecting them when the

(29:23):
time comes. Amy, We really appreciate your time. Amy McCready
you guys check out Positive Parenting Solutions dot Com to
sign up for a free online class. She got two
books if I have to tell you one more time
in the Me Me Me Epidemic and follow her on
Instagram at Positive Parenting Solutions. Amy. Thank you. You were
a wonderful resource for all of us and every single
question we've had over the past five years of Thames.

(29:46):
Thank you, Bobby and friends. It was a delight. All right,
there she is, He's Amy's pile of stories. So One
Country dot Com took a look at female country songs
from the nineties and picked these be the ones that
we all still sing along to every time we hear them.
Top five gotta be Shania Twain in there. If it's nineties,

(30:08):
it's gotta be you know, any man of mind. Good guess,
gotta be Shanai. Who else will we pick? Though? Faith
Hill gotta be a faith here Strawberry? All right, well,
good give us number five wild one, faith Hill Okay
with the Angels Wallet Jam number four heads Carolina Tales California,

(30:33):
Jody Messina, Yeah, nineteen ninety six, somewhere any man of Mind,
Shani Twain from ninety five. As it wasn't number one,
the strawberry wine definitely could be. Come on, yeah, number
two strawberry wine. Sintra Carter. I wonder what one could be.

(30:58):
Let's talk about this boy and maybe Ni again. Amy.
Is it a double up of anyone? No, okay, it's
someone for sure from the nineties, Big Time, Like she's
come over to my house. No, it's Amy Grant. No, wait,

(31:21):
one of the coolest Big Time superstars ever. They come
to your house. Well, I mean she's just so normal
and down to earth and to come to your house. Well, yeah,
I know you're going into my house, all right? Okay.
So there was a study done to find out who's
your favorite type of boss or leader? Is it a
man or a woman? And workplace research revealed that female

(31:42):
managers are more likely to receive high respect from their
team members, communicate their vision effectively and in an easy
to understand way. I would say any of my female
bosses have been as direct as any of the men,
but also have an ability to have compassion, which a
lot of the men haven't. Yeah, it's true. So it's
just a bigger They just kind of have all the

(32:03):
boxes checked instead of a few, because dudes just aren't like, hey,
I felt that. Let me give you a little comfort
as well. There's not that much yet compassion and empathy
because every all my bosses are hardcore, like you know
you're at this level. They it's business, we got to
get stuff done. We gotta be a efficient we're gonna
make sure that money's being made. But also any of
my female bosses have been like, hey, let's talk about

(32:25):
this for a second. Guys aren't like that. What else? Well?
Tim McGraw shared a story about his mom. Now. It
happened when he was around ten, as she was raising
Tim and his two sisters. He saw her late one
night at the kitchen table, surrounded by bills and crying,
and he knew then how hard she struggled to keep
the family afloat. I can remember walking through the kitchen
one night getting up late. I don't know how old.

(32:45):
I was, ten, eleven, twelve years old, something like that,
and she had her head down on the table at
like two in the morning, with bills everywhere, and I
was crying and she didn't see me. But I've told
her that story before. She didn't remember it because she
didn't see me. But like I said, for her, that
was probably one hundred different nights I didn't know about. Dang. Wow,
you get an emotional right there. Yeah, Tim crime crazy, No,

(33:07):
and he's just proud of how hard his mom was
working to take care of them, and I love that.
I'm sure we have a lot of resilient moms out there,
So shout out to all the amazing women out there.
And then tonight, don't forget. We got Gwen Stefani, Kelsey Ballerini,
and Cardi b set for our iHeart International Women's Day Special.
It's called See Her, Hear Her, and it's going to
be on iHeartRadio's YouTube and Facebook pages at eight pm.

(33:29):
That's across all time zones and it's going to be
available on demand through March fourteenth. So it's a live,
one hour special with a lot of amazing women. I'm Amy,
and that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news with Amy. So I
gotta shout out to this eight year old girl named Peyton.

(33:51):
She's not your average third grade student, because when she's
not in school, she's out fighting a battle much bigger
than herself, child homelessness. Now, Peyton learned that there's around
two point five million children in America who were facing
homelessness each year, and she was like, ump, I gotta
do something about this. We gotta raise awareness and send
funds and toys and products and all the things to

(34:13):
homeless shelters. And she forms something called I of a
Child and she does just that. She sends money to shelters, toys,
all the things. And Peyton said, quote, if you have
a dream, please follow it. Don't give up because you
probably can reach your goal, and I believe in you.
You can check out I of a Child dot org
for more info than International Women's Day. That's a good story.

(34:35):
I know, it's so amazing. Like she's eight years old.
We could all be inspired by this girl. International Kid
Woman's Day. That's right, Yes, all right, that's what it's
all about. That was tell me something good Women's Day,
International Women's Day. On The Bobby Bone Show, Hey, coming up, Amy,
we'll talk with Kendra Scott, who is a billionaire we

(34:57):
think maybe the second billionaire ever on our show, Wow.
The first billionaire is probably if we look back the pilot,
the space guy is gonna take lunchboxes of space. Hopefully
the second one will be Kendra Scott International Women's Day.
Can we think of any other billionaire we've had on
the show. It's Garth, not a billionaire. Nah, everybody's close.
They always stays around six hundred million. Oh okay, not close. Yeah.

(35:18):
And if you've ever listened to Kendra Scott's How I
Built This with Guy Rouse, I love that podcast. It's
her story is amazing. She's definitely gonna start out. Oh no,
we knew she was selling an all beat up table
outside the radio station. She would do a little trunk shows. Wow,
so she'll be on later. And who are you talking
to in a second? Veronica Garza from SETA Foods. She's

(35:39):
the founder and chief innovative officer. There's we're just highlighting
amazing women today, some that are awesome leaders and those
that are rising up. And we just want to empower women.
So we're talking to empowered women that are empowering others. Okay,
all those coming up, Let's get to the morning Corny.
First morning, Corny, what is a sea Monster's favorite food.

(36:05):
What's a sea Monster's favorite food? Fish and ships? Okay,
that was the morning Corny. It's not lost on us
that we'll go, Hey, we're doing a real serious show today.
We're highlighting, we're promoting the name. He's like sea monster,
fish and chips. Okay, yeah, so that's exactly how we're all.

(36:27):
Okay on the Bobby Bones Show. Now. Veronica Garza, Yep,
we're on with Veronica Garza, who's the co founder, president,
and chief innovation officer of Sieta Family Foods. Hey, Veronica, Hi.
I feel like a lot of people have probably seen
Sisa products at the grocery store and they are amazing.
They're a family owned Mexican American food brand that offers

(36:51):
tortilla chips and more. So, Veronica, give us the quick
origin story of Scita. We actually started our business in
twenty fourteen with an almond flowered dothia that I had
started making really just to deal with some health issues
that I experienced. I have lots of autoimmune conditions and

(37:12):
had to change my diet go grain free to help
deal with a lot of that, and my whole family
decided to do that with me. We're a family of seven,
and we all decided to eat grain free and then
we were feeling great following this diet, but definitely missing

(37:33):
out on part of our culture not being able to
participate in eating things like Topia's. So I decided to
develop at Topia that I could eat and share with
me in with my family, and the ultimate tasteester there
was You got your grandmother's approval, right, I did. Yeah,

(37:53):
probably a couple of years after I had been making
the product, my mom kicked up the sample for my
grandmother to try, and my grandmother tried them and said, Vettel,
which is my nickname, these are great. They're better than
my own. My grandmother made flower tortillas, I guess, all
of her adult life, so that was huge that my

(38:15):
grandmother liked them and was willing to eat them. So
it's kind of her stampled approval that told us we
should turn this into a business. What would be your
advice to women listening now who are maybe thinking about
starting their own business. I know, especially as women, we
probably have a lot of fear going into something like this,
so I would say, don't let that fear hold you

(38:38):
back from actually taking the risk. Do you know any
country artists to our fans of siete. Yeah. So actually
the person that comes to mine, and I'm a huge
fan of hers is Casey Musgraves. I know, at least
it was probably a couple of years ago. We saw
on Instagram that she had posted about us, and we
were able to reach out to her and connect with

(39:00):
her thundersome goodies and we even created a special, very
limited edition because only she got it a slow burned
hot sauce and that was really cool. And then it
was amazing. Just a few months later I was able
to see her at Aco. She's awesome. Oh yeah, I

(39:21):
love that oh slow. So would y'all ever consider making
that a staple? I'm assuming maybe that slower and hot
sauce was pretty hot. Yeah, you know what, it wasn't
extremely hot. I think the kick came a little bit
after you tasted it. But maybe I'd want to get

(39:43):
her feedback to see how she liked it, and then
then we could consider putting it out on shelves. Okay, Well,
if you ever need taste testers for other things or feedback,
we're happy to participate here on the Bobby Bone Show.
What are some characteristics of a boss like What's what
puts a bow on a boss for you? Okay, So honestly,

(40:08):
I've never really identified with that word. I've never been
called a boss, and I don't really think of myself
at that as that. So at least as Yetta, we
kind of operate more like a family and we tend
to think of, you know, people more as leaders. So
as a leader, you know, there are some characteristics that

(40:31):
I think are very important. So one would be humility.
We need to be aware of our weaknesses just as
much as our strength and be able to admit when
we're wrong. And then probably the next thing would be
to have compassion for everybody that you work with, whether

(40:53):
that's co workers, employees, business partners, and especially customers. You
never know what people are going through, so you know,
just being kind and listening and being compassionate can really
help solve a lot of problems. Definitely signs of a
leader right there. And I love that you have what

(41:14):
makes you feel comfortable, and that's that you're a leader,
and y'all all are and the family component go ahead
and share with everyone. I already know it. But your
company motto which is regarding family. Yeah, so our first
core value is family first. Family, second, business third. Love
that and I feel like anybody else listening when they're

(41:36):
starting a business, I think that y'all have modeled that beautifully,
putting that first. And you don't just mean because you
did start it with your family. Family, but you don't
just mean your family, mean your entire Siete family. And
I think that y'all even include your your customers in
that as well. That's exactly right. Yeah, so we're not
talking about just the Gospa family, the seven of us.

(41:56):
We're talking about all of the people that join have
joined our team throughout the years, all of the business
partners that we work with, whether it's grocery stores, distributors,
and yes, especially our customers. They are part of that
bigger set, the family that we're always thinking about. First, Well,
we are definitely rooting you on all the way always,

(42:18):
and you know, we want to take this women supporting
women beyond just conversation. We want to put it into actions.
So do you have any simple things that maybe you
could share right now quickly that are easy ways to
support more women? Yeah, I mean I feel like some
of these are probably pretty obvious. I mean, actively seek

(42:39):
out businesses that are owned by women or led by women,
buy their products, recognize them on social media as much
as you can, and if you're in a position to
do so, be a mentor to women who are interested
in starting their own businesses so that we can see
more and more women in positions like this and help

(43:02):
them to become more successful. Awesome. Love that. And if
people want to follow y'all on social media, and then
also throw y'all some support. You are at CSA Foods
and thank you Veronica for all of the amazing food
that you give us and being a great leader. Thank
you so much. It's International Women's Day, Amy, tell everybody

(43:23):
what todays shows all about. It's all about lifting up
women and encouraging everyone listening, male and female, to reach
out to someone in your life that inspires and encourages
you and find a way to support women on the daily.
So about a week ago, I give everybody the task
of you had to come up with a report on
a historical woman, celeb, historical figure, a musician, entrepreneur. It

(43:44):
didn't matter really, I mean, I say, historical history is
all in the eye of the beholder, I guess, and
so Eddie, I'll let you go now with yours. Okay,
here you go, you have ninety seconds. Who is yours about?
The amazing woman that I chose to do my report
on is Carol Kay. Now, Carol Kay may not know
her name, but you definitely have heard her work. In

(44:05):
the last fifty years, Carol Kay has played on over
ten thousand recordings. As a studio musician. She plays the guitar,
but mostly known for her work on the bass guitar.
In the nineteen sixties and seventies, she recorded basslines for
so many artists, including The Beach Boys, Elvis, Glenn Campbell,
the Monkeys, Frank Sinatra. The list goes on and on.

(44:25):
Here are a few songs that Carol played on that
you just might recognize, Starting with Good Vibrations by the
Beach Boys. Do you may also have heard this song
A Little Less Conversation by Elvis Presley. That's her on
the bass. Here is I'm a Believer by the Monkeys,

(44:52):
And then, of course we all know Unchanged Melody by
the Righteous Brothers. That's Carol on the base as well.
She also recorded and helped create some of these famous
famous popular TV show themes, including the Brady Bunch, Hawaii
five Oh, and the original Batman's Long. We even play

(45:18):
some of Carol's music on the show here whenever Lunchbox
does some hidden mic stuff. She also helped create Mission Impossible.
In twenty twenty, Rolling Stone magazine ranked k number five
in its Top fifty Greatest bases of All Times. A
lot of the times these session players don't get the recognition.

(45:39):
So I felt I need to shine a little spotlight
on Carol k the baddest woman around International Women's Day.
I have Oprah Winfrey, who I've chosen iTEC. Oprah was
born in Mississippi to an unmarried teenage mother. You know,
her name's Orpa no o rpah wow because it was

(46:00):
after the biblical figure in the Book of Ruth. But
people kept saying Oprah, so that's stuck. But her name's Orpa.
She grew up dirt poor. Family was really poor. She
was teased at high school and in school for wearing
dresses made of potato sacks. She also didn't get her
first pair of shoes until she was six years old.
Oprah graduated from East Nashville High in nineteen seventy one,

(46:21):
attended Tennessee State University began her college. After college, she'd
be in her television career on Channel five in Nashville,
and so she's doing local news. She went to Baltimore,
and then here she is talking about getting fired from
that job in Baltimore. I was not a good television reporter.
I was too emotional. I was making twenty two thousand
dollars a year. Once I got demoted, they didn't want

(46:45):
to pay out my contract. I was making twenty five
thousand dollars a year. They didn't want to pay me
the twenty five thousand, so they kept me on and said,
we'll put you on this talk show just to run
out your contract. It was called people Are Talking in
That Constellation prize took off. Yeah. She eventually became the
host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, which you ever twenty

(47:07):
five seasons. Her most who do you think her biggest
watch interview was Tom Cruise. Yeah. Michael Jackson, Oh nineteen
ninety three become the most watch interview of all time
with thirty six million viewers in the United States. She
was a billionaire two point six billion dollars. She is
the richest African American of the twentieth century. In two
thousand and nine. The last ten minutes of her show

(47:28):
confirmed that Oprah would cease September nine, two eleven. Here
she is talking about why she's leaving the show, so
why walk away and make next season the last? Here
is the real reason I love this show. This show
has been my life, and I love it enough to
know when it's time to say goodbye. Twenty five years
feels right in my bones, and it feels right in

(47:48):
my spirit. It's the perfect number, the exact right time,
the best to ever do it. She was once told
she wasn't good enough to do it, and now she's
a billionaire of you and Prince Harry and Markle whatever
the Megan whatever, Yeah yeah, Prince Harry and Markle Mega Markle. Yeah. Yeah,
there you go, Ope Winfrey, there you go. She is

(48:10):
who I chose today. It's time for the good news.
Oh man, this is crazy. So this third grader was
walking out of a mall in Waco with her mom
wearing her birthday crown because it was her birthday, and
a homeless woman that was there was like, oh hey,
it's your birthday. I gotta give you twenty dollars, and

(48:33):
the mom and the dollar were like no, no, no, no, no,
we cannot take your money. No, but someone had just
given the homeless woman one hundred dollars and she wanted
to share some with the birthday girl. Well, this really
brought to attention the need in the area. So the
little girl started helping homeless in the community and they
did an event where they were able to feed over
forty people, and they named the event Pizza My Heart

(48:56):
like Pizza mart get it. And the young girl is
hoping to make the Pizza My Heart Day a quarterly
event and is already fundraising for the next one. So
shout out to Jada Holmes. You are amazing. And she's
only an elementary school. There you go, that's what it's
all about. That was tell me something good International Women's Day.

(49:16):
On The Bobby Bones Show. Okay, on the Bobby Bones
Show now. Andrea Kreamer, Hey, Andrea, thanks for joining us. Hi, Amy,
how are you? I am wonderful. We're excited to have
a multi Emmy Award winning journalist and sports reporter, and
you're also a lecturer at Boston University. So I want

(49:36):
to ask you right out of the gate, Andrea, what
was the most defining moment you felt when breaking through
such a male dominated industry. I guess Amy, it was
so long ago. I really didn't try to think about
it because I think if you, I think, even as
a very very young CUB reporter, that if you think

(50:00):
about those things, that can be very daunting, and it
can dissuade you from what you're trying to do, which
is ironically prove yourself that you belong. So I don't.
I don't think that I ever, even as I kept
being hired as the first woman in various jobs, it
just didn't phase me. People would bring it up, and

(50:20):
I was aware of it, but I never wanted it
to define me. I want, I wanted. I felt pressure
because I wanted to perform and hopefully open up doors
for other women down the road, but I never let
it deter me. Yeah, I mean, and that you definitely have.
You you're a trailblazer. You opened a lot of doors.
So what advice would you give to young women that
are looking to get into sports journalism. There's nothing that

(50:44):
makes up for hard work, and I always call it
doing it the right way, and that can be sort
of an amorphous designation, but it does mean that there's
There's a reason that they call it paying your dues
and really working your way up because it gives you

(51:05):
incredible personal and professional capital. It gives you the experience
that is just so valuable. I mean I came up.
I started off as a writer, then I was a producer,
and then I got put on air. But being a
writer and a producer helped me so much because when
I would go out in the field, for example, and

(51:27):
I'd work with crews and they say, hey, we can't
get that shot or we can't get it, I go, well,
you know what, I think we can because I have
done it before myself. Writing skills are so underrated. Yes,
you want to get experienced, but you got to know
con pardonment. You've got to know how to write. It
doesn't matter what you go into if you go into radio,
if you go into print, if obviously if you go

(51:49):
into video, you have to know how to write. So
really working hard and then understanding you should learn as
much about as many different things possible. It's the proverbial.
The more you can do, the more you can do,
and it just it just increases your value to people
love that and you know you're involved in so many things.

(52:10):
I mean from Thursday Night Football for Amazon Prime, HBO,
NFL Network, and CBS Sports Network. And that's just to
name a few. So what's the most fulfilling part of
your job or I should say all of your jobs? Well,
I think you kind of hit it. There's something really
fulfilling in each one. And uh, you know, I was

(52:30):
at ESPN for seventeen years and I loved it. And
the only reason I left is because, truthfully, I got
a I got the offer I couldn't refuse from NBC
to do Sunday Night Football and to do the Olympics.
So I was very lucky that I left on great
terms and I left completely of my own accord. But

(52:51):
when you're at ESPN, you can you can only work
for ESPN, can't do anything for anybody else. A minute
I left ESPN, Wow, all these stories are opened up.
You know what, I signed with NBC HDIO Real Sports,
who had been talking to me for years. They they
hired me right away. And then the CBS Show, the
first all female sports show, opened up, and that presented

(53:13):
a totally different opportunity to work with some of the
best women, not just broadcasters, but athletes and and all
female staff. It was just a great opportunity and truthfully, Amy,
you know, an all female show I used to call it,
which you know, kind of makes people wins a little
bit the view for sports, but that's in essence what

(53:35):
the pitch was, and that's, you know, it's it's the
show is morphed into so much more than that. And
then of course Thursday night football was just something that
you kind of never even think of. I mean, I'm
going to analyze football games. It just it wasn't something
that was ever on my radar. But truthfully, when you

(53:56):
have I got to say it, when you have the
best agent in the business who is constantly thinking ahead
and thinking about what's really great strategy wise for your career,
for him to put both Hannah Storm and me in
that position is amazing. So each each each job brings

(54:18):
its unique challenges. But listen, I mean, I'm a journalist
at heart, long form journalism. I think it's what I do.
You know you mentioned all my awards. I mean, that's
what my awards are for. It's it's incredibly fulfilling. You know,
certain stories that I've done which you really feel have
made an impact on people in a variety of ways.
That's hugely important to me. We're talking with Andrea Kramer,

(54:41):
Emmy Award winning journalists for International Women's Day. And Andrea,
we want to take amplifying women beyond a conversation and
put it into action. So what's a simple thing that
you would share with everyone right now? Is a way
that they can support other women? Well, just that you know,
there's what's what's the stereotype of women? Let's be catty

(55:02):
and trust me, I think that men who lie in
wait looking for that, well, you sure as heck don't
want to feed that. Also, Amy, truthfully, I subscribe to
what your mom told you. If you've got nothing nice
to say, don't say anything at all. But it is
really important to support women. And that's one thing that

(55:26):
I am hugely proud of my friendship and partnership with
Hannah Storm. People they can they can tell what's real, okay,
And ultimately, we want our listeners that are choosing the
head of Storm Andrea Kramer option on Amazon Prime Video

(55:46):
Thursday Night Football, we want them to say, hey, you know,
we're just hanging out with Hannah Andrea watching a game,
but you know what they want to sense and feel
our personalities. They want to sense and feel our interaction
when we joke with each other. When Hannah went to
Notre Dame, the world knows that I never let her
forget that. I'll let the audience forget it. All right, Hannah,

(56:07):
here we go another Golden dome or you know, just
joking with people but supporting each other is very very genuine,
you know, Amy, I'm all about action. You can talk
a lot about things, but let your actions truly speak
for themselves. And I think that that what Hannah and
I have together is is something that really does that,
it speaks for itself. Well, Andrea, thank you for all

(56:29):
of your wisdom today. It's truly an honor to have
you on. So thanks for joining us for International Women's Day.
Andrea Kramer, everybody, well, thank you, Amy, thanks for having
me on. And to you, your families, your listeners. Everybody
stay healthy and stays out there. All right. Thanks bye,
thank you boyd Bye International Women's Day. On the Bodybones Show.
All right, we have two reports left. By the way,

(56:50):
go back and listen to the podcast. You'll hear ninety
second reports on Judge Judy from Raimundo, Amy had Robin Roberts,
I did Oprah Winfrey, Eddie did Carol Kid, Carol Kaya
bassist Up left is Morgan number two and Lunchbox Morgan.
You're up first. Well I have Dolly Parton all right,
Here we go ninety second presentation Forget Her Death at

(57:12):
Women There. Dolly Parton is a legendary singer, songwriter, performer, actor, philanthropist,
and just an all around cultural icon. And yes, she
even has her own theme park. Out of the thousands
of songs she's written, her biggest hits include Joe Lene Joy,

(57:36):
I Will Always Love You, Nine to Five, Code of
Mini Colors, and Islands in the Stream with Bonnie Rogers.
That Is What Deal. And That's just to name a few.
And Dolly didn't get where she is without being multitalented.
There's at least eight instruments we know of that Dolly
can play, including the banjo, saxophone, guitar, and piano. Dolly

(57:59):
Parton didn't always have things easy, though. She grew up
very poor and was one of twelve kids. During her
first performance on the syndicated television show The Porter Wagner Show,
she was booed offstage. And now she's been married to
her husband Carl Dean for fifty five years. This May,
she founded the Imagination Library to make sure kids all
over had access to books, and that was in honor

(58:21):
of her father, who was never able to read her write,
and that program has since given out over one hundred
and fifty million books. Dolly's ability to have fans of
all walks of life and continually inspire those fans is
what makes her legendary, but not only that. She turned
down Elvis Presley's request to record one of her famous songs.
She's been nominated for a Grammy fifty times. She wrote

(58:43):
her first song at the age of five, and she
holds two Guinness World Records. I Totally stand Dolly parton
There Is God and wrapping up our presentations today, lunchbox.
Are you doing someone by the name of Anime Bullock? Okay, yeah, okay, Also, yeah,
here we go hit it. Let me introduce you to

(59:09):
Anime Bullock. Oh you don't know that name? Does the name?
Tina Turner ring a bell? That's right for a nut
push shitty Tennessee, the one, the only Tina Turner. She
wants to teach all of you women, and all you kids,
and all you people out there. If you want something,
you go get it. She was in a club in
Saint Louis. She sees Ike's band up there. She's like,

(59:30):
I want to sing. She goes up, Dike says, let
me sing on that mic. He goes, yeah, yeah, I'll
call you. He never calls, so during intermission, she gets
on the mic and sings, and Ike's like, this girl's amazing.
Says you're gonna be in my band. And then Ike
writes a song for another dude and they go to
the studio to record it. The guy never shows up,
and Tina Turner says, I'll sing it, sings it, and

(59:53):
that's what gets him the record deal. It was supposed
to be a demo and it was just just supposed
to be thrown in the trash. Ike and Tina the review.
They go on to have huge success, make Grammys, they're
nominated for the Rock and Rail Roll Hall of Fame.
But but Ike is a jerk, abusive. He beats Tina
and she's tired of it. So finally, one night they

(01:00:14):
land in Dallas. On the way of the hotel, he
beats her. She sneaks out of the hotel and hides
and she files for divorce, and she walks into that
courtroom and she says, I don't want any of the money.
I don't want the houses. All I want is my name.
And Ike Turner had trademarked Tina Turner, so she wasn't
gonna be able to get it. That's all I want
because I want to be able to perform. And she

(01:00:36):
got the name, and for seven years she performed at
hotels and things that she was just a novelty act.
Then she hits it out of the park with Let's
Stay Together. She does the cover that Whoa, she does
Private Dancer. Two weeks she makes the album. She goes
on to sell overall hundred million records. Do you understand

(01:01:00):
She's gonna gettest Buck a world record? She was performing
for one hundred and eighty thousand people in Brazil, the
most ever for a single artist at that time. She
is one of the greatest of all time. Twelve Grammy Awards.
She was the first female and first black artist on
the cover Rolling Stone. So if you want something, you
go get it. That is Tina Turner. And I'm gonna

(01:01:22):
cry there it is Shuck Wait laughing because he loves
Tina Turner and he always has, and I loved seeing him.
I'm telling you guys, there wasn't a lot written down
in front of him. That was all well, obviously because
in time, I guess about four minutes long. Her her
tour in nineteen eighty eight over four million fans, the

(01:01:44):
most ever for a female artist, saying, hey, Scuba, we've
been trying to get Tina Turner for like my years. Listen, listen,
and no one's been at it. We've tried to get
her for fifteen years. I don't know. I didn't know this.
I'll get her on if you're okay with it, I'll
put her on the show. Would love to have her on.
Try not success for years, Okay, I'll do it. Listen.
She has the thing on HBO Max coming out, and
she's up for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

(01:02:05):
if we can get her on. Well, that's true, that
HBO Max thing may actually be, oh my gosh, a
way in to go. We'd like to interview her. Can
I at least ask one question? Though? When she comes on?
That's it with International Women's Day on The Bobby Bone
Show with Amy Brown. So I became a mom three
years ago when I adopted two kids from Haiti, And

(01:02:27):
as for my thirteen year old daughter, I really hope
that our relationship builds up herself of steam. Like I
want her to know that she has loved, that she
is awesome, and that she has the ability to grow
up and do anything she wants. I also wanted to
know that I'm always in her corner and she'll never
have to be alone. And you know, that's what I
want for the women that listen to our show, Like,

(01:02:47):
whatever they're going through, I don't want them to feel alone.
I want to empower them by sharing and highlighting other
women's stories, stories of perseverance that offer a lot of
hope international. On The Bobby Bones Show. Okay, on The
Bobby Bones Show now, Kendra Scott so super excited to
be joined right now by fashion designer and TV personality

(01:03:11):
Kendra Scott. Hey, Kendra, Hey, Amy, how are you? I'm
doing good now? Kinder Scott joins Forbes lists of America's
richest self made women thanks to her fast growing jewelry line.
And Kendra, I remember listening to your episode with Guy
Raza on How I Built This and I was just

(01:03:32):
so fascinated. Plus being that I was born and raised
in Austin. I knew of your line early early on,
so I feel like I've watched your business grow and
it makes me think about my daughter because she loves
to make bracelets and she gets so excited when they
sell out online and she uses what she makes to,
you know, buy supplies, and then keeps a little for

(01:03:54):
her hard work, and then she donates the rest to
the orphanage that she grew up in Haiti. So I'm
just curious what advice that you would give young girls
that want to start their own business. Well, first of all,
I want to hire your daughter, so we got to
work on We got to work on, Matt. She absolutely
sounds like an amazing girl. Oh my goodness. You must

(01:04:15):
be so proud of her amy. You know, I think,
first of all, you have to do something you love, right,
you got to be passionate about it. You've got to
be excited, And I think that's key. You know, I
just invested on the last Shark Tank episode in this
amazing seventeen year old girl who started a sauce company

(01:04:35):
called Enna Sauce. And she started making her sauces when
she was just eight years old. So you're never too
young to start. And if you've got a dream, you've
got a great idea, you know, go for it and
try to do something that no one else is doing.
You know, I always say he just erupted and that

(01:04:56):
there's no dream that's too big. You know, I started
with five hundred dollars out of my extra bedroom, making
everything by hand, selling my product door to door. No
way in a million bazillion years would I have thought
you would have just said the words you said that
I am one of Forbes's richest self made women. At
the time, I was just hoping to pay my rent amy,

(01:05:17):
So don't you know, don't think your dream is too big? Truly.
You know, I'm a I'm here to say that, you know, truly,
anything is possible. And Kendrell, what made you decide to
encourage philanthropy? You know, I mentioned that my daughter likes
to donate back to the orphanage in Haiti, But you've
made philanthropy is one of your core values of your company,

(01:05:37):
So why was that super important to you? You know,
I lost my stepfather to brain cancer when I was
just a junior in high school. He was diagnosed and
from that moment, my whole life changed. You know, I
realized how precious life was, and he was such an
example of helping others and really enforcing to me that

(01:05:58):
we have a short time on this and while we're here,
we need to do something good, we need to make
a positive impact. And so my first company I started,
I did headwear for women undergoing chemotherapy, men and women
because of him. He inspired me to do that. And
when that business didn't work out the way I wanted
it to and I started my jewelry line, I knew

(01:06:20):
that for me success would mean to be able to
make a difference in the world. That when I sit
on my front porch, you know, at eighty ninety years old,
that I wanted to look back and know that I
did something good, that I helped people around me and
I made a difference. And that's how we measure success
at Kendri Scott and that's for all of us. And
so from day one, you know, I was making necklaces.

(01:06:43):
It's a charity called for a silent auction because that's
what I could do. I couldn't write a big check
because I didn't have the money in my account to
do that. But now as we've grown. Over the last
nineteen years, we've been able to do both. We've been
able to show up physically build homes for people through
Habitat for Humanity. We've been able to give large research

(01:07:04):
grants to breast cancer research foundations. We're able to help
local communities by you know, saying like, look, if there
a flood, is there a hurricane, how can we come
in and help you locally? So since twenty ten, we've
given forty million dollars AMY to women's and children's charities,
which is, like, I think, for me, the biggest number.

(01:07:25):
I'm the most proud of what we're doing, which just
blows me away. No, it's truly amazing. I love that.
And can you share with our listeners about the hashtag
choose to challenge for International Women's Day. I would love
to hear more about that. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, first of all,
you know what a day. It's never been a better
time to be a woman. And I think it's so

(01:07:46):
important that you know, we really do challenge ourselves to
try to do more. And I always say that as women,
when we hold hands, when we stand together and lift
each other up, we've got, you know, stopping breaking those
barriers of putting each other down, right, It's time to
lift each other up, fulled hands, support each other. And

(01:08:07):
when we do that, we're unstoppable. Right now, you know,
I'm challenging myself to help raise the amount of venture
capital given to women founded companies. Only seventeen percent of
funding goes to women founded companies. That to me is
just not okay. And so my challenge is that I
want to see that change. And even with my exposure

(01:08:31):
on Shark Tanks this season, you'll see I invest it
in a lot. You know, really all female founded companies
not just because they were females, because they were the
best ones there, the greatest ideas, And so I'm excited.
I think we all need to choose to challenge ourselves
in how we can support women, how we can support

(01:08:51):
and believe in ourselves as women to really go after
our dreams and achieve success and happiness in our lives. So,
you know, we want to take beyond conversation this women
empowering women, beyond just talk. So what are some simple
things that everyone can do right now to support more women?
You know, I think that's a really beautiful thing to say.

(01:09:12):
First of all, be there for each other. Celebrate when
you hear someone have an achievement, another friend, a promotion
at their jobs, they're starting a business. I want to
see us women reaching out with celebration, with congratulations, with
again that lifting each other up and showing up for

(01:09:33):
each other. This mentality of being jealous or you know,
all of those things. We've got to put those actions
outside of our brain. When we put out good, positive energy,
it will come back to us. Good things happen to
good people. I believe it with my whole heart. And
I think that's such an easy thing for us to do.

(01:09:56):
You know, and support local businesses owned by women and
do what you can to just go out there and
really support them day to day. You know, we have
to raise awareness against bias and take action for ourselves.
Fight for your higher pay, go in and not be
afraid to say I deserve this, I am working hard

(01:10:17):
for this. Use your voice to make a difference in
a positive way. Well, Kendra, thank you so much for
