Speaker 4 (04:07):
Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
So nice to be here.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
It's my first time doing a live segment like this,
so I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Well, so excited to have you on. You're a season professional.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You've done not only media once twice, but reality TV
and you've been a fashion model. Wow, what an incredible career. So, Jessica,
I'm going to dive right in. So, reality TV has
a powerful impact on personal branding. In fact, a study
by Forbes revealed that reality TV stars can see a
fifty percent increase in their social media following and engagement
(04:37):
within six months of a show airing. Now, how has
your presence on Owning Manhattan influenced your real estate business
and personal brand? And more importantly, how has being on
the show changed your life and your real estate career?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Well, it took us forty eight hours to hit top five,
so like my life has changed literally in forty eight hours.
The recognition, especially Owning Manhattan, having such a big presence
in New York City. I step on the subway, people
know who I am. I step into Starbucks, people know
who I am. So just solely the recognition that it's
had here in New York City and around the world.
(05:09):
You talk Poland, Israel, Canada, Like, I have so much
fans coming up to me all the time because we've
been out for probably around a month now. Like, just
the recognition and the effect that Netflix has had on
our lives has been just instrumental to not only like fame,
but also to business. I'm generating so much business through
(05:30):
this that I couldn't think less for Ryan for putting
me on the show.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Wow, that's such an incredible story.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You are a trailblazer, and I'm so incredibly proud that.
Number One, you're a woman in this industry, not easy
to make it.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
On multiple levels. You've trekked through.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You're beautiful, that also works against you in our industry.
But the fact that you're so committed and so talented,
that's the driving force. And I think there's a lot
of women listening to you right now, looking up to you,
seeing you as a role model, which brings me to skincare.
It's a multi billion dollar industry, Jess.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know this better than anyone else. The global market
value is valuated.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Over one hundred and forty billion dollars, and that was
back in twenty twenty, so imagine what it is now
right four years later. We don't have the stats yet,
but I'm sure they're out there now. In such a
competitive space. Personal endorsements from influencers like yourself can sway
a lot of consumer choices, significantly as someone who is
constantly in the public eye. How do you keep your
(06:30):
skin looking so flawless? I mean, are there any special
products or routines that you usee purvice?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
So it all stems to the way I was raised.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
My grandma when she came to America with my mom,
they always used Nivia.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's my hidden little secret.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I think it's such a great product and I exploit
every single day. But it's so important to moisturize your skin.
Nivia has my best friend when it comes to skincare.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
I hear you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
They have that in Greece and my grandmother, who's Greek,
she grew up. That was the answer to everything. Got
a skin burn, nivade, your skin is dry, nivade. Whatever
ailment we had skin wise, that little blue jug with
the white letters was always there.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I hear you.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I still use it same guilty, guilty, And also for
like removing makeup.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
It's great too. Yeah, I'm thinking through you girl.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
All right, there you go. Now. Coconut water, we're gonna
shift a bit.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Has become a popular health trend, with the market expected
to reach like close to ten billion dollars this year alone,
and it's known for its hydrating properties. It's a favorite
amongst celebrities and athletes. Now, coconut water more importantly, if
we get into it, has a lot of hydration benefits.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
But how has it become a part of.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Your daily wellness routine, especially especially during those either long
filming days or showing you know, apartment to apartment.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Sure, So I had a root awakening this year that
my doctor said, I don't drink enough water because I'm
not a kind of girl that loves and reaches out
for a water bottle, So my best choice is to
drink coconut water. It always reminds me to stay hydrated,
not only for skin, but for fueling your body. It's
important to eat, but also to remind yourself that whether
(08:09):
it's water or coconut water, it's so important to have
those electrolytes that I'm very thankful for through coconut water.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I just had a root awakening.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
So it's like, uh, water is like my best friend
to get me through the crazy days of showings, running
around in New York City, thick and through all the time.
Water is something that we all need to remind ourselves
that we need to stay hydrated.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, and I love that you said electrolyte replacement. It's
that's key.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
One kind of coconut water has close to four hundred milligrams,
which is what the equivalent of like three bananas.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Who's eating three bananas.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
In a row? Now?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Reality TV? Yeah, me either.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Reality TV often reveals unexpected facets of one's personality. Interestingly enough,
according to a survey by the Journal of Broadcasting and
Electronic Media, sixty three percent of reality TV participants report
learning things about themselves. What's the most surprising thing you've
learned about yourself throughout this reality TV journey?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yeah, you know, I never did a reality TV show before,
so I'm more amateur compared to you know, people who
have done this before. I think doing a reality TV
show it like reminds me to stay true to who
I am, you know, because sometimes you're pressured or you
don't think about things. But I think going forward in
(09:27):
season two, I really want to always like set a
reminder myself, like would I say this, Do I stand
by that who am I as a person. It's very
important when it comes to doing reality TV.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wow, you definitely have a passion for this, to have
the patience for this.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Now, Manhattan's luxury real estate.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Market is one of the most competitive in the world,
with the average price per square foot well exceeding eighteen
hundred dollars, and people think that that's even high, but
in fact, for us, it's normal. Amidst this glamour, there
are always memorable moments.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I have to stay without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You show some of the most luxurious properties in Manhattan.
Do you have any funny or memorable stories from your
time on the reality TV show Owning Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I think the most memorable moment for me was the
shot that I don't remember which episode it was, but
the shot where we were at the Heuron, a new
development that we represent over at Sirhan, where I put
on our cap to protect ourselves and then we spoke
in our native language to really sell to our clientele.
And because I grew up in the neighborhood where the
(10:32):
Heuron is located, which is in Green Point, and being
able to speak in my native language, which is Polish,
it was like that full circle moment of Wow, I
grew up here, I'm selling this beautiful new development that
we have and also speaking in my native language.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
It was a full circle moment for me that I
was like, Oh my god, is this real? Is this
actually happening?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
That was a very to the core, most important moment
for me.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
At that point, it's mom and Grandmam that are proud
of you. And that makes the difference, right.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yeah, because you're not only selling real estate, but I'm
selling it in my native language.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
So my parents get to see that.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I'm like speaking and you know, thank you professional.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yes, I love it.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's cool. That's cool.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Stress management is crucial for high achieving professionals like yourself.
American Psychological Association found that seventy five percent of adults
experience moderate to high levels of stress.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And come on, like, who doesn't experience stress?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The city alone, walking out of your apartment or your
condo stresses you. So balancing a thriving real estate career
in a popular reality TV show must be quite hectic,
to say the least. How do you manage stress? How
do you how do you ensure you stay hydrated and healthy?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
You know, I'm forever thankful for having a fiance who
has a master's in psychology from Harvard, so that helps
for sure. He gears me in all the right directions.
And having a good support system, whether it's your significant
other and family and you know, coworkers to get you
through those crazy, hectic days that we don't really show
so much on social media. But you know there are
(12:02):
moments Trednna knows I cried two days ago. But you
know there are moments where we experience. You know, we
could the good, bad, ugly, as I say in the trailer,
But the way I stay intact with who I am
is having the best support system and to stay hydrated
and eat. Those are my secret sauces.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Now let's shift to pets. Now, pets definitely reduce stress levels.
I got a little guy Elvis.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
At home we can talk to, and studies show that
spending time with your pets lower's court is all levels
and increases.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
The feelings of happiness.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Right, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
So we hear you have a cute kavapoo named Romeo?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yes, So how do you find time to relax and
charge him with so much? With your busy fiance and
your schedule? Like, how do you tend to little guy?
Speaker 6 (12:51):
I honestly like the best investment I could have ever
chosen throughout like filming the show. So we got Romeo
right before filming, and he was like my little like
comfort baby on days where I was just filming so
much and just coming home to this like precious little
angel who has like no nothing but love to give
to you.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
I I just love Romeo so much.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I hear it in your voice if yours love behind
scenes and sights? So can you can you give us
a sneak peek into any upcoming episodes or even any
projects outside of this that you're that you're excited about,
maybe a little bit of gossip or behind us.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yeah, so I'm avoiding gossip, but I'm very excited. I
have a new townhouse on that bre East Side right now.
I have a new Tribeca listing coming up in two weeks,
i would say, on Washington Street. I'm really excited about that.
You know, there's projects coming in NonStop every single day
just because of virtue just doing the show so forever

Sam's up next in the Discover Your Potential segment, brought

podcaster and regular co host Anna Devir. Today she's joined
by Kelly Roach, founder and CEO of Kelly Roach International,
(16:21):
NFL cheerleader turned Fortune five hundred executive. Kelly is one
of the only female founders in the online space to
build her company from zero to eight figures with zero debt,

Speaker 7 (16:53):
And Forbes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
They joined me today to chat all about advice for
entrepreneurs in changing economic times and finding the path to success.
Welcoming down to the show are Kelly Roach and Ada
de Vere. Welcome, superstars.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm grilled to be here, thanks for having me. So
let's dive right in now before starting your own company. Kelly.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I know you spent years in corporate America, raising through
the ranks of a Fortune five hundred company, and even
led a team of over one hundred to record breaking
sales during the economic downturn back in two thousand and
eight to twenty and ten.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
So without a doubt, it's clear that you're good at
what you do.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
But can you share a little bit more about your
background and what really inspired you to leave such a
successful corporate career to become a business strategist and coach.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Absolutely, I mean it really comes down to wanting to
take my skills and my passion and do work that
I felt was really going to have a more meaningful
impact on the everyday lives of families around the world.
And so that's why I'm so passionate about helping entrepreneurs
really create generational wealth and make an impact by doing
work that they love. I was very lucky to have
(18:00):
a great Fortune five hundred career, but I really wanted
to transition into helping the little guys, helping small businesses
become big businesses right by getting the tools and the
strategies and the mindset that they needed to do that.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
That's amazing. It always comes full circle.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And I know you've built a well known track record
with your firm, creating six, seven and even eight figure
client success.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Not to mention that you've been the recipient of prestigious
awards such as the number two eighty seven on the
INC five thousand lists, the Stevie Awards.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Woman of the Year tightens you. I mean, the list
goes on and on.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
So I'm certainly impressed, and I admire how you've dedicated
yourself to passing your knowledge onto others through your coaching career,
because mentorship is truly key, truly. In fact, as of
March of this year, ninety eight percent of US Fortune
five hundred companies have and provide mentoring programs, and mentees
are five times more likely to get promoted compared to
(18:57):
their peers. So it's clear of finding a proper mentor
or is key to achieving success, and for many you.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Are that mentor.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I know Ana has some questions, but Kelly, congratulations on
everything you've accomplished.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
Thank you, well, I just wanted to do, you know,
ask you because that success speaks for yourself. But do
you have any personal mantra philosophy a guide that guides
you through challenging times.
Speaker 11 (19:20):
And if so, how did you develop that?
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing for me
is I encourage everyone to find their vocation in life,
because whatever path you choose, you're going to run into
a lot of hardships. You're going to have obstacles, you're
going to have high highs and low lows. And I
always say like, even if you're a champion, your success
is one percent of the time, So ninety nine percent
of the time you feel like you're failing. Ninety nine
(19:44):
percent of the time you're going through the hard times.
And so find the thing that is your vocation where
you're not waking up every day and relying on motivation,
but instead you feel like you're answering your calling.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
And I think when.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You do that, you're able to weather.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
The storms and the highs and the lows much better
over the long term.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Now I know you have the number one ranked marketing podcast,
The Kelly road Show, and I saw one episode titled
from Downturn to Upswing tactical advice for entrepreneurs facing economic instability,
which really intrigued me, and I know many can relate
can you share with us a key takeaway from that
show that you think struggling entrepreneurs could benefit from.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
Yeah, I would recommend that everyone who hears this show
go and listen to that episode on The Kelly Road
Show because it's going to be a critical tool in
your tool belt as we kind of proceed through what
is coming and what's already here.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
And I would say a couple of the things.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
That they share on the show are you know, how
to be nimble in your business, how to be able
to pivot strategically versus panic, which then ends up actually
having the reverse effect, and also how to capitalize on
the opportunity because even when you're in an economic downturn
and when challenges present itself, a lot of people are
(20:56):
finding that their sales are slower, they're having a hard
time retaining customers, maybe people are struggling to pay their
bills that they owe.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
You.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
There is also opportunity in that, and in the show,
I kind of walk you through the thinking behind what
does innovation look like and how do you find the
pockets to capitalize on so that you can in fact
thrive even when the economy is in a downturn.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
Well, that's amazing. I can't wait to listen to that
episode in full. And thanks for directing people there. I
want to ask you about millionaire mornings though, What advice
would you give basically anyone who wants to play a
bigger game?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Yeah, well, you know, I am a big fan of
the thinking that everyone needs to follow the routine that's
right for them. I really try not to prescribe a
morning routine or a suggested format that people need to follow,
because what might be great for me could be a
horrible idea for someone else.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
But what I would say is, you know, your health
is your.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
Wealth, and the more that you focus on getting you know,
seven eight hours asleep, drinking lots of water, feeding your
body fuel versus eating for entertainment, just those basic foundations
of health, and your morning routine obviously plays into that.
You know, you're optimizing your body so that your body
(22:13):
and your mind can perform at a high level for you.
And so I think just one of the big things
that I've seen in the entrepreneurial space is a lot
of people compromise their health in pursuit of their wealth,
and then they end up losing their wealth because their
health is compromised, and so just having a really counter
mindset I think is very important.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Understanding that the more that.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
You optimize your mind and your body, the faster and
the more sustainably you're going to be able to grow.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Thank you profound that was true. I was like bost
in my thoughts.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Thank you now.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Now, I would be remiss Kelly not to touch on
artificial intelligence, as the AI market is projected to reach
a staggering four hundred and seven billion dollars by the
year twenty twenty seven. According to a Forbes Advisor survey,
sixty four percent of businesses believe that AI will help
increase their overall productivity. Now, with this in mind, how
(23:09):
do you envision the future of work, particularly in the
coaching and consulting industry. How do you see it evolving
over the next decade? And I'm also curious, how do
you see emerging technologies like AI and automation reshaping the landscape?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Yeah, well, it's reshaping a lot of things already, and
I think a lot of people were kind of quick
to jump the gun on installing too much AI and
their businesses too quickly, and a lot of people are
struggling because of that right now, AI has not developed
to the point of reliability in certain human centered relationship
(23:43):
building tasks yet, and so especially if you are in
a service industry, coaching, consulting, something that relies on human delivery,
your kind of ace in the whole is relationships. And
seventy percent of people that were surveyed at the beginning
of this year said I want a relationship with my
service provider. So I would think about AI from the
(24:04):
standpoint of, how can you leverage AI for repetitive tasks
and back end things that don't take away from the
relationship but instead enhance and accelerate the productivity of the business,
And how do you really focus on the human centricity
of the relationships that you're building with the people that
you're here to serve. I think that balance, it's like
everything in moderation approach is a really good line of
(24:27):
thinking right now.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Wow, I love your tips and I love that you're
accessible through the Kelly Roach Show. So I want to
ask you about a particular show that jumped out at
me called Opportunity and Mental Load just trying to get by.
I think that's probably something that people can relate to.
Can you dive into that just that little bit.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean, I've been really fascinated with the entrepreneurial world,
you know, coming from corporate and coming from understanding building
teams and.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Hierarchy of leadership and you know, all of those things.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
A lot of times people have only bad things to
say about corporations when it comes to that, but the
truth is, they really do understand optimization of business. And
that's why so many corporations are, you know, multi billion
dollar companies while the average small business owner is taking
home less than fifty thousand dollars a year. And so,
you know, I see that burnout is definitely prevalent across
(25:22):
business leaders. And a lot of the time when someone
is suffering from burnout, they don't have the leverage in
their business with systems and people that is required for scale,
and so really they're carrying the weight of the business
on their shoulders, and for most people, it's simply not
sustainable and there's no joy and fulfillment in that.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Right.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
What we want to do is we want to help
people put systems and team in the right places and
in the right place spaces and the business so that
the business owner can actually narrow their focus and really
operate in their zone of genius so that the business
can keep running functionally without it requiring them to have
their hands in every aspect of the business.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
I can relate that certainly is a big mistake.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, piggybacking on a business. Let's chat about work life balance.
So last year, about seventy five percent of US workers
believed a healthy work life balance was crucial. Yet sixty
percent said they didn't have boundaries between work responsibilities and
their personal life. And this lack of balance can result
(26:25):
in burnout and sleep issues and decline mental health. We
know that, even illness. So while it may look slightly
different for everyone, it's incredibly important to find the balance
that works best for you. Now, Kelly, can you share
how you maintain a balance between your professional and your
personal life. I am sure it's not an easy task.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, it is not an easy task.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
I have six companies now, I have a ten year
old daughter, husband, dog, the whole thing. So it's a
crazy life, right, And I say it's not balanced as
much it is prioritization.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Right.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
You have to know what your priorities are and you
have to be ruthless about them. And if you know
what your priorities are, then you can make decisions for me.
A lot of times, if I'm having special family time
or I'm going out with my family or doing something
with my daughter, I'll turn my phone off.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I'll leave it.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
Home when we're going out together, because I know, I
run my business from my phone. So that's a twenty
four to seven news cycle. It's never going to stop, right,
and so you just have to find those little things
that are going to work for you, that make it
work for your lifestyle. For me, also as a business owner,
I actually have benefited a lot from the fact that
(27:30):
we can do business from our phones and be so
mobile and on the go, because it gives me a
ton more freedom and flexibility. So while on the bad
side it may feel like there's no boundaries, on the
good side, it actually gives you way more flexibility and freedom.
I mean, I remember the days of getting up in
the morning and driving into the office and you're just
there until evening, right, And I remember eating dinner at
(27:51):
the office, not getting home until seven o'clock at night,
and there was no flexibility, right because you just had
to stay until the work was done. Now, being able
to work on our phone, we can hit pause, we
can go have dinner with our families, we can go
do things with our children or pets, or you know,
whatever our life priorities are. And then you know, dip
back in when we need to. But even little things
(28:11):
like you know, letting your phone be outside the room
when you sleep, or you know, just giving yourself an
hour that you're not going to be on.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
The phone before you go to sleep. It's figuring out
what's going to work for you.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
Great advice, Kelly. I want to thank you personally for
diversifying your offerings. I know you've talked about giving people
three times of value for free of what they've paid
for in the past. I know that's your part of
your legacy, and I am definitely checking out Virtual Business School.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm glad we chatted about that free episode.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
Yes, thank you, and I'm just wondering what kind of
a legacy do you hope to leave.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Behind personally professionally, how are you working towards that?
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Yeah, I mean, I think the ultimate reward in life
is contribution, right, and so for me, like I did
the corporate ladder, I built the eight figure business, I
pursued a lot of those kind of external goals and
you know now, for me in life, it's really about
leaving a lasting legacy of impact and contribution, and that's
kind of the core focus of everything that I do.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Beautiful, thank wow, you are self inspirational.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
You are quite a trailblazer.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And more importantly, you know many women are looking up

and I'm with doctor Merrek Elias, who is a top
notch dermatologist in the South Florida area.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Welcome to the show, Like Bren, thank you, thanks for
having us.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I'm ready? All right.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
So SCAL twenty twenty four. What are the top trends?
What are people talking about? What have you noticed?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
So?
Speaker 7 (31:38):
First of all, I've noticed a ton of great people
out here learning from all the different specialties and areas
involved with dermatology and insteatic medicine. Thanking you, friends, meeting people.
Everybody is learning about the news trends, of which CO
two lift is one of those trends.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yes, you two lift is a trend that is not
per se you right. It's been around since the nineteen thirties.
Back then they used to inject it into the face.
The methodic delivery, to my understanding, has changed then to
the delivery system. Is it a gel like format delivered
to changecy forty five minutes on the face or the
area of the body that you're treating.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
As a germatologist, have you personally used.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
The pass Yes, I have, and it's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
And what's the first thing you noticed when you put
it on your skin?
Speaker 7 (32:26):
I just noticed that I actually relax. Usually we're doing
this post procedure as an adjunct treatment, post traxle or
other razors. Clear and brilliant. I don't want to need
to drop too many other companies, but it works fantastic
after that or as a standalone, is a refresh It's
a great rejuvenating treatment.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
So great aesthetic model therapy. It's great in combo therapy.
I know that the use cases for CO two Live
are widespread. It's one hundred and seventeen percent increase in
hydration and elasticity after just one application, which makes it
something very googlable, bringing me too. It was the top
three Google search of Q three of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Everybody wanted to know what this product was about.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
And here we go.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
We have COEO two lift that delivered.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That talk to me about what your patients are reacting to,
about the product.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
So the great thing as a practice owner is this
helps bring people back to your practice for other touch points.
This is such a wonderful treatment. Patients locked the way
it feels, they love the just juvenile law. Afterwards, it
just levels up all their treatments and it's you connected
because say, patient, they come in for toxic fulfiller, well
(33:36):
for laser, but we're also medical germatologies. So just bringing
them back off and gives us the opportunity to see
them for a skin cancer check or to treat their
child for acne. So it's a wonderful product for many reasons.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Now, let's chat about how you came across this product,
because to my understanding, it's quite serendipitous.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
So tell me about how you first learned about COEO
two lift.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
So this is that's an interesting story. I was going
to a conference, I believe it was the American Academy
of Dermatology in two thousand, twenty two or twenty three,
and I'm at the airport and just waiting for my
delayed flight and this very lovely lady sitting across from me,
and she had to go to the Gasko and she
(34:20):
says to me, did mind holding watch my stuff, looked
like a nice enough guy, like you're not going to
steal my stuff? And I was like, okay, sure, Like
what do you do? Like what are you here for?
And we started talking. You know, it was like, I'm
a dermatologist. I live in South Florida, originally from New York.
Let's go Rangers and let's go Ginger Bar. She said, Oh,
(34:40):
I live in Weston. She's a town not ching Flora
from where I live. And I'm the owner of a
company I'll co two. And we just started talking and
that she invited me to come to the booth and
so look, you know, large she stopped. She's been by
my office to train my staff, and just a wonderful product.
It was very serendipitous how it happened. Here we are today.
See how the growth of this product, how it's so
(35:02):
highly searched on Google touches me that I was telling
about something before it became cool, before it became popular.
How great this product really is. And you know there's
a secondary line in there called the cot lift. Imagine. Yeah,
so we do use that on our patients as well,
and it works very well in combination or monotherapy. The
(35:23):
CEO lot of locks Mommy nakels that are in for
body sculpting procedures, and this works is a great product
to go along with that. It's an edit value.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
It sure is, it sure is.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
And the beautiful part about this product is that it's
not invasive, it's sustainable and the founder, Lana Kerr, who
is the face of the company, is absolutely beautiful inside
and out. You guys could research the product coeotwolift dot com.
Not just saying that because of course I love a
lot of She's a dear friend, you met her and
(35:54):
she's salt of the earth. The product speaks for itself
and they would not have to see says that they
do if the results were not there. So clinic Wood
Moove and clinic Wood Verified. We have doctor Michelle Henri
has endorsed the product. Doctor Saradia Wats from the Vio Clinic,
Doctor Merritt, doctor Gold, doctor Wiseman.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
The list goes on and.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
On, absolutely and one last little plug for Lana. Follow
her blog. It's fantastic. You'll learn a lot, you'll have
you know able to connect directly with her and many
of us that are online. If there's questions about the
use of this product or where can fit into your practice.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Well, thank you so much for a great interview, Doctor Mark.
It was a pleasure chatting with you.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Thanks for having us. Have a great rest of the conference.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
I am Heather Mangbrum. I am the nurse practitioner.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
I own a med spot just a little west here
of Nashville, Darma Dixon, a med spot. We had a
u COEO two mask in our office for about a
year now and love yet so I was excited to
actually sit down and get it done myself today.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
So she used the COO two lift in her practice
pre and post treatments to I understand. Now, for those
of you that have never heard of carbon dioxide skin rejuvenation,
let me give you the low down. This has been
around the nineteen thirties. In the nineteen thirties, they used
to inject it into the skin, which made it a
little bit difficult for just the average person to, you know,
(37:15):
get this procedure done. There was needles fault, it was painful.
But today twenty twenty four, we have a new system
and it's called that CO two lift And these products
are a gel like format. You mix two compounds together
forty five minutes, delivered contaneously in the comfort of your
own hope. And that's what we're talking about today. So
(37:35):
let's talk about the science of carbon dioxide therapy to
your understanding. Why is this so effective and so immediate.
It's given that hydration and oxidation right to the source
of the skin. It's able to azorb very well. We
even use it pre treatment. But we'll put the numning
on for our morphia's treatments in the office and then
apply that and allow the asorptions to work better, and
(37:57):
then post procedures needlings or patients you said at home
without even having a procedure to give that hydration.
Speaker 7 (38:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
So there's the PRO and there's this the CO two
lift and so two lifts pro and the pro is
only available at a practitioner's office or your doctor's office.
Now the talk to me a little bit about the
use cases outside of skin rejuvenation for the face that
you have heard of Doo two lift being a great
use case for it.
Speaker 13 (38:25):
So personally we have used this with even my sixteen
year old daughter has pretty severe exema. And when I
started seeing all the cases that we're using it for
healing and rejuvenation, but that healing side.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
With my daughter's informations and drynesses of her exemas, we
have started using that for her as well and when
she has flare ups or now we're even patient. It
is a go to for us for that healing property.
So it's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Yeah, she said it. There you have it, so two
lift many use cases. I thank you so much for
coming on today. And by the way, your face is blowing.
Did you just do a mask? Yes, I just had
a mask and then had makeup alcations done here. So
it's been amazing. Well, this is why your skin looks
so refreshed. Thank you so much for coming on to you.
Speaker 12 (39:13):
A moment of zen is brought to you by CO

to ten VM on seven to ten WOOR the Voice
of New York.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven ten wor the
Voice of New York iHeartRadio. I'm your host Zen. Sam's
up next in our Entertainment and pop Culture segment brought
to you by Romulus Entertainment. Today, we're headed behind the
scenes on the film set of Killing Castro starring Al Pacino.
(40:36):
We're going to be joined by actor Alexander Ludwig. Most
of you know him from Vikings we're chatting career, parenthood
and how he balances it all.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Alexander, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
Oh thank you for arming me.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Okay, this is so exciting.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
The strike ends and you are back to work FRONTO.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Thank god, thank god.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Well, we are thanking Romulus Entertainment for that getting actors
back up to work very quickly. So you in this
particular movie play agent Murphy. Tell me what it was
like when you first read the script, What attracted you
to the part, and did you know right away that
(41:18):
you were doing this?
Speaker 14 (41:19):
Interestingly enough, I was actually in Spain when I sent this,
and I remember just thinking, like I, as an actor,
we all have, I think certain things that we gravitate towards.
For me, I love period, I always have. It's something
about just being transported into another time. And as actors
were so lucky, I feel like we get to live
(41:41):
so many lives at least do our best at experiencing
what that would have been like. So when I read
the title, I immediately knew this goulna be something that
I was going alike, And immediately it was just like,
please please let this be good. And I was so
fascinated by I mean, nineteen sixties to me as always
has been a really fascinating time, you know, in pop culture,
(42:02):
but in America especially and especially in New York.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
So I love that whole aspect of it.
Speaker 14 (42:09):
And I knew that I wanted to be a part
of an ensemble piece like this, right.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
And what's very interesting, you know, when you look back
at the history and.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
The timeline and being attracted to.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Period pieces, this is an untold story and it's based
on true events. The very first time that Fido Castro
meets Malcolm EPs right here in New York City, and
the dynamic between the two of them and that relationship
is such an interesting story to be that that they're
telling on this film set, but more importantly chilling castro
(42:44):
Let's talk about the title. If you look in history,
there were many attempts on fetal Castro's life, specifically in
nineteen sixty, not only by the US government, by the MATHIA,
the CEI, pretty much everyone out there. What kind of
story are you looking to convey through Agent Murphy.
Speaker 14 (43:03):
Every once in a while you get sent something that
is bigger than just your character, you know, So for me,
Agent Murphy is you know this rambabtcious FBI agent who's
more green than say his partner, Agent Collins, and is.
Speaker 8 (43:18):
Looking to be a part of something important.
Speaker 14 (43:22):
And sometimes I think he lets his.
Speaker 8 (43:25):
His ego get the best of him.
Speaker 14 (43:27):
But for me, there's a great arc in his character.
But more importantly, every once in a while, you get
sent a project where you say, in any way, shape
or form, I want to be a part of this
project because I think that it's going to mean something
to people, and it's going to mean something to the
to the world. And again, these movies are so seldom
made now that I wanted to in any way be
(43:49):
a part of it. So they sent me their effer
and immediately I was just like, Yep, this is great.
Speaker 8 (43:54):
And it's honestly just so great.
Speaker 14 (43:55):
To be back at work because I love what I
do and getting to look with Ron has been amazing.
They've got to really a banter throughout the film. So
as much as I love bringing Murphy to life, I
love even more bringing the story to life.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That was a homework moment, Alex. You said that perfectly,
and I love it that the character spoke to you
that if it evokes emotion in the actor reading it,
then you're definitely going to evoke emotion when you perform it,
and the audience will respond now interestingly enough, And this
is a question that.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
I ask all actors.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
If you had to play the same role agent Murphy,
but not period piece in current.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Times, would you and how would you adjust?
Speaker 8 (44:38):
That's a good question.
Speaker 14 (44:39):
Knowing what I know now, without giving too much away,
I don't know if there is too much adjustment to him,
because you know, it's funny I was. I was proposed
with the same question myself when I did Vikings. And
you know, one thing we'd love to do on that
show is that we found places to put comedy in
the show, which sounds very strange because immediate you're like, well,
(45:00):
they're Vikings and they're supposed to be these waiters, and
you know they pillage these different places. Aren't they supposed
to be like Vikings? And I think that's the trap,
is that you think that when you're playing an fbi Agen,
if you're playing a Viking, that you have a caricature.
Speaker 8 (45:14):
Of what they're supposed to be like.
Speaker 14 (45:15):
The truth is that they're human. And whether or not
Murphy was in the sixties or he was alive now,
I think he would still be the ambitious, hysterical, kind
of rambugious character that he is in both in both scenarios.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
I love the consistency of your emotional connection to him
and that you didn't change him even if I proposed
he was, you know, acting, you know, fifty years into
the future. Now. What's interesting is when you prepare as
an actor, you receive the script, you know that the
story you're telling, you know the story everyone's telling, because
(45:52):
you need to know everybody's story, not just your own.
And it brings me back to preparation. So method acting
lies in your technique, all of these techniques that we
as actors apply on a daily level when we're faced with,
you know, dissecting a role and coming and showing up
to work prompt what is it that? What kind of
research did you do to have to prepare for a
(46:14):
role like this?
Speaker 14 (46:14):
So I work with a coach named Ivona Chubbick, and
I absolutely love her, and we work on every sentence
together for everything I do. One thing that you learn
when you're in this business is that there's no right
way to do it. And I always try to tell
people who want to be in this business or anything like,
we're not athletes, This is not a competitive sport. You know,
everybody has their own way of doing things, and you
(46:36):
got to find what works best for you. For me,
I have a very specific way I break down every
script I do. So I've already prepped this entire movie
and I've only shot three days, but we've already done
all that work so that now I can come here
and be completely free what Ivana has done. And she's
a book called The Power of the Actor. If anybody's interested,
I totally recommend reading it. And she's worked with an
(46:59):
incredible talent.
Speaker 8 (47:00):
It is.
Speaker 14 (47:01):
She's taken these techniques that you're speaking of and she
simplified it into aware that I use my personal experiences
to influence my characters so that anything I'm dealing with
in life today will impact the way that my character acts.
So on Vikings, for example, if I'm if I'm trying
to kill somebody, and then there's a reason that you know,
(47:22):
there's a scene where my mother is killed by my
brother and on that show, and I used something very
personal to me in that moment that was happening at
that time, and it brings out another depth. Now that's
not everybody's approach and there's no right or way wrong
to do right or wrong way to do it. In
terms of method acting, I think people commonly mistake that
(47:45):
for just being in character all the time, which actually
isn't necessarily what that is. There's we can go into
great death of what method acting actually is. But for me,
that's that's what works best. Granted, like, I also love
the idea of embodying a character and living like the
character if it calls for that. In this specific film,
(48:06):
it didn't, So I'm using what I've what I've always used.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
Yeah, it's interesting because Stanslavsky, Stella Adler, Lee Strasburg, I
stated at all I was considered conservatory trained at Lee
Strasburg and Stella Adler amazing. And the takeaway for me
as an actor is you use it all and the
best A piece of advice that as an actor I
(48:31):
give to my fellow actress is life experiences. It's all
about living in the moment when you have those life experiences.
Becoming a parent, which brings me to my next question. Alexander,
you have a baby girl, now congratulate.
Speaker 8 (48:47):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 14 (48:48):
Yeah, I know it's crazy and it's amazing, amazing.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
How has now experiencing the birth of a child that
you brought into this world.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
You made that master.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
You are the master of her little world right now.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
You created her.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
How has that changed you when you are acting?
Speaker 8 (49:08):
That's a great question.
Speaker 14 (49:09):
It's crazy because it doesn't feel like I made her,
you know, like it's ironic because she came out looking
like me, and I'm like, my poor wife has to
do all the work and he's only the best.
Speaker 8 (49:19):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (49:19):
It's that's probably right right out.
Speaker 8 (49:22):
It's both.
Speaker 14 (49:23):
It feels like she's just a you know, not to
get to spiritual or anything, but she really just feels
like this gift.
Speaker 8 (49:30):
From like out of just magic. It's like, where did
you come from? Like how did you know? It's it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
But the emotional availability you have going forward, when you
need to tap into that emotion is just the floodgates
will open.
Speaker 14 (49:46):
And I had to be to be completely candid, like
I thought. I knew, like I knew that my life
was going to change.
Speaker 8 (49:52):
I knew I would feel a certain way that.
Speaker 14 (49:55):
I don't think I quite understood the depth. Like I
was just talking to Eve about this five minutes ago.
I said, you know, the real difference when you have
kids at is for me one of the when people
asked what changed the most. It's the most random thing,
but it was like not to get I don't want
to get too dark, but just whenever I hear about
another kids suffering, it hits so different now in the
(50:16):
best way that I would also say that it undoubtedly
makes your life better and you're a happier person because
of it.
Speaker 8 (50:22):
It also just simplifies everything.
Speaker 14 (50:23):
You realize what's actually important in life, you know, and
it's been the.
Speaker 8 (50:27):
Greatest gift in the world.
Speaker 14 (50:29):
It was the best day of my life was today
she was born, and it always will be and it
definitely will affect my characters going forward.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
So nice to be here.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
It's my first time doing a live segment like this,
so I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Well, so excited to have you on. You're a season professional.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You've done not only media once twice, but reality TV
and you've been a fashion model. Wow, what an incredible career. So, Jessica,
I'm going to dive right in. So, reality TV has
a powerful impact on personal branding. In fact, a study
by Forbes revealed that reality TV stars can see a
fifty percent increase in their social media following and engagement
(04:37):
within six months of a show airing. Now, how has
your presence on Owning Manhattan influenced your real estate business
and personal brand? And more importantly, how has being on
the show changed your life and your real estate career?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
Well, it took us forty eight hours to hit top five,
so like my life has changed literally in forty eight hours.
The recognition, especially Owning Manhattan, having such a big presence
in New York City. I step on the subway, people
know who I am. I step into Starbucks, people know
who I am. So just solely the recognition that it's
had here in New York City and around the world.
(05:09):
You talk Poland, Israel, Canada, Like, I have so much
fans coming up to me all the time because we've
been out for probably around a month now. Like, just
the recognition and the effect that Netflix has had on
our lives has been just instrumental to not only like fame,
but also to business. I'm generating so much business through
(05:30):
this that I couldn't think less for Ryan for putting
me on the show.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Wow, that's such an incredible story.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You are a trailblazer, and I'm so incredibly proud that.
Number One, you're a woman in this industry, not easy
to make it.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
On multiple levels. You've trekked through.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You're beautiful, that also works against you in our industry.
But the fact that you're so committed and so talented,
that's the driving force. And I think there's a lot
of women listening to you right now, looking up to you,
seeing you as a role model, which brings me to skincare.
It's a multi billion dollar industry, Jess.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
You know this better than anyone else. The global market
value is valuated.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Over one hundred and forty billion dollars, and that was
back in twenty twenty, so imagine what it is now
right four years later. We don't have the stats yet,
but I'm sure they're out there now. In such a
competitive space. Personal endorsements from influencers like yourself can sway
a lot of consumer choices, significantly as someone who is
constantly in the public eye. How do you keep your
(06:30):
skin looking so flawless? I mean, are there any special
products or routines that you usee purvice?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
So it all stems to the way I was raised.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
My grandma when she came to America with my mom,
they always used Nivia.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's my hidden little secret.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I think it's such a great product and I exploit
every single day. But it's so important to moisturize your skin.
Nivia has my best friend when it comes to skincare.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
I hear you.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
They have that in Greece and my grandmother, who's Greek,
she grew up. That was the answer to everything. Got
a skin burn, nivade, your skin is dry, nivade. Whatever
ailment we had skin wise, that little blue jug with
the white letters was always there.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I hear you.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I still use it same guilty, guilty, And also for
like removing makeup.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
It's great too. Yeah, I'm thinking through you girl.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
All right, there you go. Now. Coconut water, we're gonna
shift a bit.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Has become a popular health trend, with the market expected
to reach like close to ten billion dollars this year alone,
and it's known for its hydrating properties. It's a favorite
amongst celebrities and athletes. Now, coconut water more importantly, if
we get into it, has a lot of hydration benefits.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
But how has it become a part of.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Your daily wellness routine, especially especially during those either long
filming days or showing you know, apartment to apartment.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Sure, So I had a root awakening this year that
my doctor said, I don't drink enough water because I'm
not a kind of girl that loves and reaches out
for a water bottle, So my best choice is to
drink coconut water. It always reminds me to stay hydrated,
not only for skin, but for fueling your body. It's
important to eat, but also to remind yourself that whether
(08:09):
it's water or coconut water, it's so important to have
those electrolytes that I'm very thankful for through coconut water.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I just had a root awakening.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
So it's like, uh, water is like my best friend
to get me through the crazy days of showings, running
around in New York City, thick and through all the time.
Water is something that we all need to remind ourselves
that we need to stay hydrated.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, and I love that you said electrolyte replacement. It's
that's key.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
One kind of coconut water has close to four hundred milligrams,
which is what the equivalent of like three bananas.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Who's eating three bananas.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
In a row? Now?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Reality TV? Yeah, me either.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Reality TV often reveals unexpected facets of one's personality. Interestingly enough,
according to a survey by the Journal of Broadcasting and
Electronic Media, sixty three percent of reality TV participants report
learning things about themselves. What's the most surprising thing you've
learned about yourself throughout this reality TV journey?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yeah, you know, I never did a reality TV show before,
so I'm more amateur compared to you know, people who
have done this before. I think doing a reality TV
show it like reminds me to stay true to who
I am, you know, because sometimes you're pressured or you
don't think about things. But I think going forward in
(09:27):
season two, I really want to always like set a
reminder myself, like would I say this, Do I stand
by that who am I as a person. It's very
important when it comes to doing reality TV.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wow, you definitely have a passion for this, to have
the patience for this.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Now, Manhattan's luxury real estate.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Market is one of the most competitive in the world,
with the average price per square foot well exceeding eighteen
hundred dollars, and people think that that's even high, but
in fact, for us, it's normal. Amidst this glamour, there
are always memorable moments.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I have to stay without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You show some of the most luxurious properties in Manhattan.
Do you have any funny or memorable stories from your
time on the reality TV show Owning Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
I think the most memorable moment for me was the
shot that I don't remember which episode it was, but
the shot where we were at the Heuron, a new
development that we represent over at Sirhan, where I put
on our cap to protect ourselves and then we spoke
in our native language to really sell to our clientele.
And because I grew up in the neighborhood where the
(10:32):
Heuron is located, which is in Green Point, and being
able to speak in my native language, which is Polish,
it was like that full circle moment of Wow, I
grew up here, I'm selling this beautiful new development that
we have and also speaking in my native language.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
It was a full circle moment for me that I
was like, Oh my god, is this real? Is this
actually happening?
Speaker 6 (10:52):
That was a very to the core, most important moment
for me.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
At that point, it's mom and Grandmam that are proud
of you. And that makes the difference, right.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yeah, because you're not only selling real estate, but I'm
selling it in my native language.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
So my parents get to see that.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I'm like speaking and you know, thank you professional.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yes, I love it.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's cool. That's cool.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Stress management is crucial for high achieving professionals like yourself.
American Psychological Association found that seventy five percent of adults
experience moderate to high levels of stress.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And come on, like, who doesn't experience stress?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The city alone, walking out of your apartment or your
condo stresses you. So balancing a thriving real estate career
in a popular reality TV show must be quite hectic,
to say the least. How do you manage stress? How
do you how do you ensure you stay hydrated and healthy?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
You know, I'm forever thankful for having a fiance who
has a master's in psychology from Harvard, so that helps
for sure. He gears me in all the right directions.
And having a good support system, whether it's your significant
other and family and you know, coworkers to get you
through those crazy, hectic days that we don't really show
so much on social media. But you know there are
(12:02):
moments Trednna knows I cried two days ago. But you
know there are moments where we experience. You know, we
could the good, bad, ugly, as I say in the trailer,
But the way I stay intact with who I am
is having the best support system and to stay hydrated
and eat. Those are my secret sauces.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Now let's shift to pets. Now, pets definitely reduce stress levels.
I got a little guy Elvis.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
At home we can talk to, and studies show that
spending time with your pets lower's court is all levels
and increases.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
The feelings of happiness.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Right, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
So we hear you have a cute kavapoo named Romeo?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yes, So how do you find time to relax and
charge him with so much? With your busy fiance and
your schedule? Like, how do you tend to little guy?
Speaker 6 (12:51):
I honestly like the best investment I could have ever
chosen throughout like filming the show. So we got Romeo
right before filming, and he was like my little like
comfort baby on days where I was just filming so
much and just coming home to this like precious little
angel who has like no nothing but love to give
to you.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
I I just love Romeo so much.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I hear it in your voice if yours love behind
scenes and sights? So can you can you give us
a sneak peek into any upcoming episodes or even any
projects outside of this that you're that you're excited about,
maybe a little bit of gossip or behind us.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Yeah, so I'm avoiding gossip, but I'm very excited. I
have a new townhouse on that bre East Side right now.
I have a new Tribeca listing coming up in two weeks,
i would say, on Washington Street. I'm really excited about that.
You know, there's projects coming in NonStop every single day
just because of virtue just doing the show so forever
(13:53):
happy and you know, go go go. That's New York
City for you. You're constantly doing something new and fresh

moan of Zen right here on seven to ten, wore
the voice of New York IHI Radio. I'm your host, Zen.
Sam's up next in the Discover Your Potential segment, brought

podcaster and regular co host Anna Devir. Today she's joined
by Kelly Roach, founder and CEO of Kelly Roach International,
(16:21):
NFL cheerleader turned Fortune five hundred executive. Kelly is one
of the only female founders in the online space to
build her company from zero to eight figures with zero debt,
investors or outside funding. Today, she continues to empower thousands
around the globe to achieve financial and lifestyle freedom through

Speaker 7 (16:53):
And Forbes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
They joined me today to chat all about advice for
entrepreneurs in changing economic times and finding the path to success.
Welcoming down to the show are Kelly Roach and Ada
de Vere. Welcome, superstars.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I'm grilled to be here, thanks for having me. So
let's dive right in now before starting your own company. Kelly.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
I know you spent years in corporate America, raising through
the ranks of a Fortune five hundred company, and even
led a team of over one hundred to record breaking
sales during the economic downturn back in two thousand and
eight to twenty and ten.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
So without a doubt, it's clear that you're good at
what you do.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
But can you share a little bit more about your
background and what really inspired you to leave such a
successful corporate career to become a business strategist and coach.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
Absolutely, I mean it really comes down to wanting to
take my skills and my passion and do work that
I felt was really going to have a more meaningful
impact on the everyday lives of families around the world.
And so that's why I'm so passionate about helping entrepreneurs
really create generational wealth and make an impact by doing
work that they love. I was very lucky to have
(18:00):
a great Fortune five hundred career, but I really wanted
to transition into helping the little guys, helping small businesses
become big businesses right by getting the tools and the
strategies and the mindset that they needed to do that.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
That's amazing. It always comes full circle.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
And I know you've built a well known track record
with your firm, creating six, seven and even eight figure
client success.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Not to mention that you've been the recipient of prestigious
awards such as the number two eighty seven on the
INC five thousand lists, the Stevie Awards.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Woman of the Year tightens you. I mean, the list
goes on and on.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
So I'm certainly impressed, and I admire how you've dedicated
yourself to passing your knowledge onto others through your coaching career,
because mentorship is truly key, truly. In fact, as of
March of this year, ninety eight percent of US Fortune
five hundred companies have and provide mentoring programs, and mentees
are five times more likely to get promoted compared to
(18:57):
their peers. So it's clear of finding a proper mentor
or is key to achieving success, and for many you.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Are that mentor.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I know Ana has some questions, but Kelly, congratulations on
everything you've accomplished.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
Thank you, well, I just wanted to do, you know,
ask you because that success speaks for yourself. But do
you have any personal mantra philosophy a guide that guides
you through challenging times.
Speaker 11 (19:20):
And if so, how did you develop that?
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing for me
is I encourage everyone to find their vocation in life,
because whatever path you choose, you're going to run into
a lot of hardships. You're going to have obstacles, you're
going to have high highs and low lows. And I
always say like, even if you're a champion, your success
is one percent of the time, So ninety nine percent
of the time you feel like you're failing. Ninety nine
(19:44):
percent of the time you're going through the hard times.
And so find the thing that is your vocation where
you're not waking up every day and relying on motivation,
but instead you feel like you're answering your calling.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
And I think when.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You do that, you're able to weather.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
The storms and the highs and the lows much better
over the long term.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Now I know you have the number one ranked marketing podcast,
The Kelly road Show, and I saw one episode titled
from Downturn to Upswing tactical advice for entrepreneurs facing economic instability,
which really intrigued me, and I know many can relate
can you share with us a key takeaway from that
show that you think struggling entrepreneurs could benefit from.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
Yeah, I would recommend that everyone who hears this show
go and listen to that episode on The Kelly Road
Show because it's going to be a critical tool in
your tool belt as we kind of proceed through what
is coming and what's already here.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
And I would say a couple of the things.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
That they share on the show are you know, how
to be nimble in your business, how to be able
to pivot strategically versus panic, which then ends up actually
having the reverse effect, and also how to capitalize on
the opportunity because even when you're in an economic downturn
and when challenges present itself, a lot of people are
(20:56):
finding that their sales are slower, they're having a hard
time retaining customers, maybe people are struggling to pay their
bills that they owe.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
You.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
There is also opportunity in that, and in the show,
I kind of walk you through the thinking behind what
does innovation look like and how do you find the
pockets to capitalize on so that you can in fact
thrive even when the economy is in a downturn.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
Well, that's amazing. I can't wait to listen to that
episode in full. And thanks for directing people there. I
want to ask you about millionaire mornings though, What advice
would you give basically anyone who wants to play a
bigger game?
Speaker 9 (21:32):
Yeah, well, you know, I am a big fan of
the thinking that everyone needs to follow the routine that's
right for them. I really try not to prescribe a
morning routine or a suggested format that people need to follow,
because what might be great for me could be a
horrible idea for someone else.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
But what I would say is, you know, your health
is your.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
Wealth, and the more that you focus on getting you know,
seven eight hours asleep, drinking lots of water, feeding your
body fuel versus eating for entertainment, just those basic foundations
of health, and your morning routine obviously plays into that.
You know, you're optimizing your body so that your body
(22:13):
and your mind can perform at a high level for you.
And so I think just one of the big things
that I've seen in the entrepreneurial space is a lot
of people compromise their health in pursuit of their wealth,
and then they end up losing their wealth because their
health is compromised, and so just having a really counter
mindset I think is very important.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Understanding that the more that.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
You optimize your mind and your body, the faster and
the more sustainably you're going to be able to grow.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Thank you profound that was true. I was like bost
in my thoughts.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Thank you now.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Now, I would be remiss Kelly not to touch on
artificial intelligence, as the AI market is projected to reach
a staggering four hundred and seven billion dollars by the
year twenty twenty seven. According to a Forbes Advisor survey,
sixty four percent of businesses believe that AI will help
increase their overall productivity. Now, with this in mind, how
(23:09):
do you envision the future of work, particularly in the
coaching and consulting industry. How do you see it evolving
over the next decade? And I'm also curious, how do
you see emerging technologies like AI and automation reshaping the landscape?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Yeah, well, it's reshaping a lot of things already, and
I think a lot of people were kind of quick
to jump the gun on installing too much AI and
their businesses too quickly, and a lot of people are
struggling because of that right now, AI has not developed
to the point of reliability in certain human centered relationship
(23:43):
building tasks yet, and so especially if you are in
a service industry, coaching, consulting, something that relies on human delivery,
your kind of ace in the whole is relationships. And
seventy percent of people that were surveyed at the beginning
of this year said I want a relationship with my
service provider. So I would think about AI from the
(24:04):
standpoint of, how can you leverage AI for repetitive tasks
and back end things that don't take away from the
relationship but instead enhance and accelerate the productivity of the business,
And how do you really focus on the human centricity
of the relationships that you're building with the people that
you're here to serve. I think that balance, it's like
everything in moderation approach is a really good line of
(24:27):
thinking right now.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Wow, I love your tips and I love that you're
accessible through the Kelly Roach Show. So I want to
ask you about a particular show that jumped out at
me called Opportunity and Mental Load just trying to get by.
I think that's probably something that people can relate to.
Can you dive into that just that little bit.
Speaker 9 (24:48):
Yeah, I mean, I've been really fascinated with the entrepreneurial world,
you know, coming from corporate and coming from understanding building
teams and.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Hierarchy of leadership and you know, all of those things.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
A lot of times people have only bad things to
say about corporations when it comes to that, but the
truth is, they really do understand optimization of business. And
that's why so many corporations are, you know, multi billion
dollar companies while the average small business owner is taking
home less than fifty thousand dollars a year. And so,
you know, I see that burnout is definitely prevalent across
(25:22):
business leaders. And a lot of the time when someone
is suffering from burnout, they don't have the leverage in
their business with systems and people that is required for scale,
and so really they're carrying the weight of the business
on their shoulders, and for most people, it's simply not
sustainable and there's no joy and fulfillment in that.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Right.
Speaker 9 (25:40):
What we want to do is we want to help
people put systems and team in the right places and
in the right place spaces and the business so that
the business owner can actually narrow their focus and really
operate in their zone of genius so that the business
can keep running functionally without it requiring them to have
their hands in every aspect of the business.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
I can relate that certainly is a big mistake.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, piggybacking on a business. Let's chat about work life balance.
So last year, about seventy five percent of US workers
believed a healthy work life balance was crucial. Yet sixty
percent said they didn't have boundaries between work responsibilities and
their personal life. And this lack of balance can result
(26:25):
in burnout and sleep issues and decline mental health. We
know that, even illness. So while it may look slightly
different for everyone, it's incredibly important to find the balance
that works best for you. Now, Kelly, can you share
how you maintain a balance between your professional and your
personal life. I am sure it's not an easy task.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, it is not an easy task.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
I have six companies now, I have a ten year
old daughter, husband, dog, the whole thing. So it's a
crazy life, right, And I say it's not balanced as
much it is prioritization.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Right.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
You have to know what your priorities are and you
have to be ruthless about them. And if you know
what your priorities are, then you can make decisions for me.
A lot of times, if I'm having special family time
or I'm going out with my family or doing something
with my daughter, I'll turn my phone off.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I'll leave it.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
Home when we're going out together, because I know, I
run my business from my phone. So that's a twenty
four to seven news cycle. It's never going to stop, right,
and so you just have to find those little things
that are going to work for you, that make it
work for your lifestyle. For me, also as a business owner,
I actually have benefited a lot from the fact that
(27:30):
we can do business from our phones and be so
mobile and on the go, because it gives me a
ton more freedom and flexibility. So while on the bad
side it may feel like there's no boundaries, on the
good side, it actually gives you way more flexibility and freedom.
I mean, I remember the days of getting up in
the morning and driving into the office and you're just
there until evening, right, And I remember eating dinner at
(27:51):
the office, not getting home until seven o'clock at night,
and there was no flexibility, right because you just had
to stay until the work was done. Now, being able
to work on our phone, we can hit pause, we
can go have dinner with our families, we can go
do things with our children or pets, or you know,
whatever our life priorities are. And then you know, dip
back in when we need to. But even little things
(28:11):
like you know, letting your phone be outside the room
when you sleep, or you know, just giving yourself an
hour that you're not going to be on.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
The phone before you go to sleep. It's figuring out
what's going to work for you.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
Great advice, Kelly. I want to thank you personally for
diversifying your offerings. I know you've talked about giving people
three times of value for free of what they've paid
for in the past. I know that's your part of
your legacy, and I am definitely checking out Virtual Business School.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I'm glad we chatted about that free episode.
Speaker 11 (28:42):
Yes, thank you, and I'm just wondering what kind of
a legacy do you hope to leave.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Behind personally professionally, how are you working towards that?
Speaker 9 (28:51):
Yeah, I mean, I think the ultimate reward in life
is contribution, right, and so for me, like I did
the corporate ladder, I built the eight figure business, I
pursued a lot of those kind of external goals and
you know now, for me in life, it's really about
leaving a lasting legacy of impact and contribution, and that's
kind of the core focus of everything that I do.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Beautiful, thank wow, you are self inspirational.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
You are quite a trailblazer.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And more importantly, you know many women are looking up
to you and you fit the perfect mold for millennial moms.

and I'm with doctor Merrek Elias, who is a top
notch dermatologist in the South Florida area.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Welcome to the show, Like Bren, thank you, thanks for
having us.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I'm ready? All right.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
So SCAL twenty twenty four. What are the top trends?
What are people talking about? What have you noticed?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
So?
Speaker 7 (31:38):
First of all, I've noticed a ton of great people
out here learning from all the different specialties and areas
involved with dermatology and insteatic medicine. Thanking you, friends, meeting people.
Everybody is learning about the news trends, of which CO
two lift is one of those trends.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yes, you two lift is a trend that is not
per se you right. It's been around since the nineteen thirties.
Back then they used to inject it into the face.
The methodic delivery, to my understanding, has changed then to
the delivery system. Is it a gel like format delivered
to changecy forty five minutes on the face or the
area of the body that you're treating.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
As a germatologist, have you personally used.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
The pass Yes, I have, and it's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
And what's the first thing you noticed when you put
it on your skin?
Speaker 7 (32:26):
I just noticed that I actually relax. Usually we're doing
this post procedure as an adjunct treatment, post traxle or
other razors. Clear and brilliant. I don't want to need
to drop too many other companies, but it works fantastic
after that or as a standalone, is a refresh It's
a great rejuvenating treatment.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
So great aesthetic model therapy. It's great in combo therapy.
I know that the use cases for CO two Live
are widespread. It's one hundred and seventeen percent increase in
hydration and elasticity after just one application, which makes it
something very googlable, bringing me too. It was the top
three Google search of Q three of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Everybody wanted to know what this product was about.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
And here we go.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
We have COEO two lift that delivered.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
That talk to me about what your patients are reacting to,
about the product.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
So the great thing as a practice owner is this
helps bring people back to your practice for other touch points.
This is such a wonderful treatment. Patients locked the way
it feels, they love the just juvenile law. Afterwards, it
just levels up all their treatments and it's you connected
because say, patient, they come in for toxic fulfiller, well
(33:36):
for laser, but we're also medical germatologies. So just bringing
them back off and gives us the opportunity to see
them for a skin cancer check or to treat their
child for acne. So it's a wonderful product for many reasons.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Now, let's chat about how you came across this product,
because to my understanding, it's quite serendipitous.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
So tell me about how you first learned about COEO
two lift.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
So this is that's an interesting story. I was going
to a conference, I believe it was the American Academy
of Dermatology in two thousand, twenty two or twenty three,
and I'm at the airport and just waiting for my
delayed flight and this very lovely lady sitting across from me,
and she had to go to the Gasko and she
(34:20):
says to me, did mind holding watch my stuff, looked
like a nice enough guy, like you're not going to
steal my stuff? And I was like, okay, sure, Like
what do you do? Like what are you here for?
And we started talking. You know, it was like, I'm
a dermatologist. I live in South Florida, originally from New York.
Let's go Rangers and let's go Ginger Bar. She said, Oh,
(34:40):
I live in Weston. She's a town not ching Flora
from where I live. And I'm the owner of a
company I'll co two. And we just started talking and
that she invited me to come to the booth and
so look, you know, large she stopped. She's been by
my office to train my staff, and just a wonderful product.
It was very serendipitous how it happened. Here we are today.
See how the growth of this product, how it's so
(35:02):
highly searched on Google touches me that I was telling
about something before it became cool, before it became popular.
How great this product really is. And you know there's
a secondary line in there called the cot lift. Imagine. Yeah,
so we do use that on our patients as well,
and it works very well in combination or monotherapy. The
(35:23):
CEO lot of locks Mommy nakels that are in for
body sculpting procedures, and this works is a great product
to go along with that. It's an edit value.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
It sure is, it sure is.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
And the beautiful part about this product is that it's
not invasive, it's sustainable and the founder, Lana Kerr, who
is the face of the company, is absolutely beautiful inside
and out. You guys could research the product coeotwolift dot com.
Not just saying that because of course I love a
lot of She's a dear friend, you met her and
(35:54):
she's salt of the earth. The product speaks for itself
and they would not have to see says that they
do if the results were not there. So clinic Wood
Moove and clinic Wood Verified. We have doctor Michelle Henri
has endorsed the product. Doctor Saradia Wats from the Vio Clinic,
Doctor Merritt, doctor Gold, doctor Wiseman.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
The list goes on and.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
On, absolutely and one last little plug for Lana. Follow
her blog. It's fantastic. You'll learn a lot, you'll have
you know able to connect directly with her and many
of us that are online. If there's questions about the
use of this product or where can fit into your practice.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Well, thank you so much for a great interview, Doctor Mark.
It was a pleasure chatting with you.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Thanks for having us. Have a great rest of the conference.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
I am Heather Mangbrum. I am the nurse practitioner.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
I own a med spot just a little west here
of Nashville, Darma Dixon, a med spot. We had a
u COEO two mask in our office for about a
year now and love yet so I was excited to
actually sit down and get it done myself today.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
So she used the COO two lift in her practice
pre and post treatments to I understand. Now, for those
of you that have never heard of carbon dioxide skin rejuvenation,
let me give you the low down. This has been
around the nineteen thirties. In the nineteen thirties, they used
to inject it into the skin, which made it a
little bit difficult for just the average person to, you know,
(37:15):
get this procedure done. There was needles fault, it was painful.
But today twenty twenty four, we have a new system
and it's called that CO two lift And these products
are a gel like format. You mix two compounds together
forty five minutes, delivered contaneously in the comfort of your
own hope. And that's what we're talking about today. So
(37:35):
let's talk about the science of carbon dioxide therapy to
your understanding. Why is this so effective and so immediate.
It's given that hydration and oxidation right to the source
of the skin. It's able to azorb very well. We
even use it pre treatment. But we'll put the numning
on for our morphia's treatments in the office and then
apply that and allow the asorptions to work better, and
(37:57):
then post procedures needlings or patients you said at home
without even having a procedure to give that hydration.
Speaker 7 (38:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
So there's the PRO and there's this the CO two
lift and so two lifts pro and the pro is
only available at a practitioner's office or your doctor's office.
Now the talk to me a little bit about the
use cases outside of skin rejuvenation for the face that
you have heard of Doo two lift being a great
use case for it.
Speaker 13 (38:25):
So personally we have used this with even my sixteen
year old daughter has pretty severe exema. And when I
started seeing all the cases that we're using it for
healing and rejuvenation, but that healing side.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
With my daughter's informations and drynesses of her exemas, we
have started using that for her as well and when
she has flare ups or now we're even patient. It
is a go to for us for that healing property.
So it's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Yeah, she said it. There you have it, so two
lift many use cases. I thank you so much for
coming on today. And by the way, your face is blowing.
Did you just do a mask? Yes, I just had
a mask and then had makeup alcations done here. So
it's been amazing. Well, this is why your skin looks
so refreshed. Thank you so much for coming on to you.
Speaker 12 (39:13):

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area. You're listening to a
Moment of Zen right here on seven ten wor the
Voice of New York iHeartRadio. I'm your host Zen. Sam's
up next in our Entertainment and pop Culture segment brought
to you by Romulus Entertainment. Today, we're headed behind the
scenes on the film set of Killing Castro starring Al Pacino.
(40:36):
We're going to be joined by actor Alexander Ludwig. Most
of you know him from Vikings we're chatting career, parenthood
and how he balances it all.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Alexander, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
Oh thank you for arming me.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Okay, this is so exciting.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
The strike ends and you are back to work FRONTO.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Thank god, thank god.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Well, we are thanking Romulus Entertainment for that getting actors
back up to work very quickly. So you in this
particular movie play agent Murphy. Tell me what it was
like when you first read the script, What attracted you
to the part, and did you know right away that
(41:18):
you were doing this?
Speaker 14 (41:19):
Interestingly enough, I was actually in Spain when I sent this,
and I remember just thinking, like I, as an actor,
we all have, I think certain things that we gravitate towards.
For me, I love period, I always have. It's something
about just being transported into another time. And as actors
were so lucky, I feel like we get to live
(41:41):
so many lives at least do our best at experiencing
what that would have been like. So when I read
the title, I immediately knew this goulna be something that
I was going alike, And immediately it was just like,
please please let this be good. And I was so
fascinated by I mean, nineteen sixties to me as always
has been a really fascinating time, you know, in pop culture,
(42:02):
but in America especially and especially in New York.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
So I love that whole aspect of it.
Speaker 14 (42:09):
And I knew that I wanted to be a part
of an ensemble piece like this, right.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
And what's very interesting, you know, when you look back
at the history and.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
The timeline and being attracted to.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
Period pieces, this is an untold story and it's based
on true events. The very first time that Fido Castro
meets Malcolm EPs right here in New York City, and
the dynamic between the two of them and that relationship
is such an interesting story to be that that they're
telling on this film set, but more importantly chilling castro
(42:44):
Let's talk about the title. If you look in history,
there were many attempts on fetal Castro's life, specifically in
nineteen sixty, not only by the US government, by the MATHIA,
the CEI, pretty much everyone out there. What kind of
story are you looking to convey through Agent Murphy.
Speaker 14 (43:03):
Every once in a while you get sent something that
is bigger than just your character, you know, So for me,
Agent Murphy is you know this rambabtcious FBI agent who's
more green than say his partner, Agent Collins, and is.
Speaker 8 (43:18):
Looking to be a part of something important.
Speaker 14 (43:22):
And sometimes I think he lets his.
Speaker 8 (43:25):
His ego get the best of him.
Speaker 14 (43:27):
But for me, there's a great arc in his character.
But more importantly, every once in a while, you get
sent a project where you say, in any way, shape
or form, I want to be a part of this
project because I think that it's going to mean something
to people, and it's going to mean something to the
to the world. And again, these movies are so seldom
made now that I wanted to in any way be
(43:49):
a part of it. So they sent me their effer
and immediately I was just like, Yep, this is great.
Speaker 8 (43:54):
And it's honestly just so great.
Speaker 14 (43:55):
To be back at work because I love what I
do and getting to look with Ron has been amazing.
They've got to really a banter throughout the film. So
as much as I love bringing Murphy to life, I
love even more bringing the story to life.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
That was a homework moment, Alex. You said that perfectly,
and I love it that the character spoke to you
that if it evokes emotion in the actor reading it,
then you're definitely going to evoke emotion when you perform it,
and the audience will respond now interestingly enough, And this
is a question that.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
I ask all actors.
Speaker 3 (44:28):
If you had to play the same role agent Murphy,
but not period piece in current.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
Times, would you and how would you adjust?
Speaker 8 (44:38):
That's a good question.
Speaker 14 (44:39):
Knowing what I know now, without giving too much away,
I don't know if there is too much adjustment to him,
because you know, it's funny I was. I was proposed
with the same question myself when I did Vikings. And
you know, one thing we'd love to do on that
show is that we found places to put comedy in
the show, which sounds very strange because immediate you're like, well,
(45:00):
they're Vikings and they're supposed to be these waiters, and
you know they pillage these different places. Aren't they supposed
to be like Vikings? And I think that's the trap,
is that you think that when you're playing an fbi Agen,
if you're playing a Viking, that you have a caricature.
Speaker 8 (45:14):
Of what they're supposed to be like.
Speaker 14 (45:15):
The truth is that they're human. And whether or not
Murphy was in the sixties or he was alive now,
I think he would still be the ambitious, hysterical, kind
of rambugious character that he is in both in both scenarios.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
I love the consistency of your emotional connection to him
and that you didn't change him even if I proposed
he was, you know, acting, you know, fifty years into
the future. Now. What's interesting is when you prepare as
an actor, you receive the script, you know that the
story you're telling, you know the story everyone's telling, because
(45:52):
you need to know everybody's story, not just your own.
And it brings me back to preparation. So method acting
lies in your technique, all of these techniques that we
as actors apply on a daily level when we're faced with,
you know, dissecting a role and coming and showing up
to work prompt what is it that? What kind of
research did you do to have to prepare for a
(46:14):
role like this?
Speaker 14 (46:14):
So I work with a coach named Ivona Chubbick, and
I absolutely love her, and we work on every sentence
together for everything I do. One thing that you learn
when you're in this business is that there's no right
way to do it. And I always try to tell
people who want to be in this business or anything like,
we're not athletes, This is not a competitive sport. You know,
everybody has their own way of doing things, and you
(46:36):
got to find what works best for you. For me,
I have a very specific way I break down every
script I do. So I've already prepped this entire movie
and I've only shot three days, but we've already done
all that work so that now I can come here
and be completely free what Ivana has done. And she's
a book called The Power of the Actor. If anybody's interested,
I totally recommend reading it. And she's worked with an
(46:59):
incredible talent.
Speaker 8 (47:00):
It is.
Speaker 14 (47:01):
She's taken these techniques that you're speaking of and she
simplified it into aware that I use my personal experiences
to influence my characters so that anything I'm dealing with
in life today will impact the way that my character acts.
So on Vikings, for example, if I'm if I'm trying
to kill somebody, and then there's a reason that you know,
(47:22):
there's a scene where my mother is killed by my
brother and on that show, and I used something very
personal to me in that moment that was happening at
that time, and it brings out another depth. Now that's
not everybody's approach and there's no right or way wrong
to do right or wrong way to do it. In
terms of method acting, I think people commonly mistake that
(47:45):
for just being in character all the time, which actually
isn't necessarily what that is. There's we can go into
great death of what method acting actually is. But for me,
that's that's what works best. Granted, like, I also love
the idea of embodying a character and living like the
character if it calls for that. In this specific film,
(48:06):
it didn't, So I'm using what I've what I've always used.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
Yeah, it's interesting because Stanslavsky, Stella Adler, Lee Strasburg, I
stated at all I was considered conservatory trained at Lee
Strasburg and Stella Adler amazing. And the takeaway for me
as an actor is you use it all and the
best A piece of advice that as an actor I
(48:31):
give to my fellow actress is life experiences. It's all
about living in the moment when you have those life experiences.
Becoming a parent, which brings me to my next question. Alexander,
you have a baby girl, now congratulate.
Speaker 8 (48:47):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 14 (48:48):
Yeah, I know it's crazy and it's amazing, amazing.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
How has now experiencing the birth of a child that
you brought into this world.
Speaker 4 (48:58):
You made that master.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
You are the master of her little world right now.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
You created her.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
How has that changed you when you are acting?
Speaker 8 (49:08):
That's a great question.
Speaker 14 (49:09):
It's crazy because it doesn't feel like I made her,
you know, like it's ironic because she came out looking
like me, and I'm like, my poor wife has to
do all the work and he's only the best.
Speaker 8 (49:19):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (49:19):
It's that's probably right right out.
Speaker 8 (49:22):
It's both.
Speaker 14 (49:23):
It feels like she's just a you know, not to
get to spiritual or anything, but she really just feels
like this gift.
Speaker 8 (49:30):
From like out of just magic. It's like, where did
you come from? Like how did you know? It's it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
But the emotional availability you have going forward, when you
need to tap into that emotion is just the floodgates
will open.
Speaker 14 (49:46):
And I had to be to be completely candid, like
I thought. I knew, like I knew that my life
was going to change.
Speaker 8 (49:52):
I knew I would feel a certain way that.
Speaker 14 (49:55):
I don't think I quite understood the depth. Like I
was just talking to Eve about this five minutes ago.
I said, you know, the real difference when you have
kids at is for me one of the when people
asked what changed the most. It's the most random thing,
but it was like not to get I don't want
to get too dark, but just whenever I hear about
another kids suffering, it hits so different now in the
(50:16):
best way that I would also say that it undoubtedly
makes your life better and you're a happier person because
of it.
Speaker 8 (50:22):
It also just simplifies everything.
Speaker 14 (50:23):
You realize what's actually important in life, you know, and
it's been the.
Speaker 8 (50:27):
Greatest gift in the world.
Speaker 14 (50:29):
It was the best day of my life was today
she was born, and it always will be and it
definitely will affect my characters going forward.
