Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, they talk better than tell me about. These are
the radio blogs on the Fred Show.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
All right, Colleen, you got one for me, Like we're
writing in our diaries, except we save we call the blogs.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Go Thank you so much, dear blog.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
So I was doing some thinking and shout out our
girl Kiki, because she put this in my head and
she plans it a seed, and when a seed is planted,
I think about it for a while. So my new
obsession is trying to figure out what my friends I'll
do for a living. And I know we've all thought
about it before, right, and okay, you mentioned this too,
But I just look at it and I look at

(00:35):
my friends. My best friend, for example, Jonathan, this man
works in marketing.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
But then somebody asked me, like, well what does he do?
And I couldn't say what he does.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I don't know what he does. I don't know what
marketing means. Like maybe like, aren't we all in marketing?
We're all promoting ourselves. I don't know, isn't that marketing?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, no, there's like actual marketing jobs. Like people would
come to Jonathan and say, hey, I want you to
help me come up with a brand for my business,
and figure out how people can learn about it and
then market my business.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Okay, so my three towels for the business.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
We got to like you.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Would have to hire Jonathan to help you with the
three towels for your spray tanning business. Yeah, got it.
So all this time, here is his resource under your fingertips.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
You never even knew.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
I does.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Want to tell her what he does?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Right, I got a fourth towel. Boy, I'm just I'm slacking.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I just thought about it a lot too, because growing
up to a lot of jobs were really like traditional
my opinion, like teach your lawyer, doctor, I can pretty
much assume what your day looks like, or at least
like what your job is like. You're teaching children, right,
Like you're a doctor. So if I'm sicky, I'm gonna
go to you. That's what I look at, or I
thought of it that way. But then I have other
friends too, like even my own sister, another marketing girly.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I still don't know what she does.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
But it's different when you're in like pharma versus Jonathan's
in real estate. So now we're unpacking different layers of marketing, cool.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Different different industries. You know what's funny my doctors too,
is growing up. Like when I was a kid, I
just figured if you were a doctor, that you could
solve any problem. Yes, Like I thought every doctor knew
about everything. And I had to date one before. I
was like, what do you mean you don't know why?
I'm sniffling, like what do you mean? And she's like,
because I'm a gynecologist or whatever, you know, it's like
I deal with the nether region.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I'm like, well, what do you mean you don't know? Which? Good?
Didn't you learn this? She's like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
We did like a week on that, and then we
moved on to you know whatever, we moved on to.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
But I thought every doctor knew how to solve every problem.
And it turns out that's why they have specialty.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Right, and that See it's layers layers to this. And
then I have friends too, Like I have one friend
who I know. His family owns a store. It's called
Dusylandia is a bunch of them in the Chicagoland area.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
But he does other things, so he's a little entrepreneur.
Now I'm patty entrepreneur. Now, yeah, got me.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now, if you have a friend who is an entrepreneur.
You don't have to know what all their side projects are.
Like I'm doing home brewing and I you know, I'm
I'm making you know, place mats, and I have an
Etsy store.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
You don't. You don't have to know all that. You
got to know their primary job.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Which I don't know besides the family business.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I don't even know what he does for them because
he has an office here and I know he's there.
He's got meetings someone about hanging out with the Alderman,
and then he's got to go here and do real estate.
I'm like, I don't know, Like like I'm trying to
connect the dots.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I can't tell you what he does.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
How about this?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Do all of you in the room have a clear
understanding of what your parents did for a living, because
I knew people who really couldn't quite articulate what their
own parents did for a living.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh yeah, that.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Went to work with her, Like I've been to her job.
I've seen it. So you know, my parents have no
idea what I do. That's right, and guess I do marketing.
Different marketing, Yeah, for the business.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Get out of here. See what there's.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Layers and levels to marketing that I'm still trying to unpack.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, there's that one size, one size fits all there.
It just doesn't exist. It's nothing.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
That's a good point. I think there are a lot
of people who don't understand how this is a job.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, my parents have no idea.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, they think we just talky talking. They think it's
so fun.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, yeah, they don't know. They clearly have no idea. Yeah,
but by the way, all we are doing is talkie talkie.
It's clearly if you listen, you realize it's not skiller
preparation that goes in debt. Man, just show up and
bes with my friends and go home.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Exactly what my things I do every day. Yeah, that's
even better.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's even better when you're in a relationship with somebody
who does it. I've been there, when you're in a
relationship with somebody who thinks, well, I listen and it
sounds like you all just bs and so like you're
not working that hard. Sounds about right, Yeah, And it's like,
