so glad you're here.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
All right, Carol, tell them who you are, where you're
coming from.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
I am Carol Register and I swallow drunk. Hello. So
I love love helping women go from six to seven figures.
I do it in a program that is one hundred
percent guaranteed, and I am doing a masterclass this Thursday
at eleven am Pacific time called Heal You're Limiting Money

(04:49):
stories to unlock your seven figure well to share with
you the secrets of how you can do this and
do it really fast. Back to one of my clients today.
She we celebrate wins every week and she goes, I
don't understand what's happening here. All this stuff is coming
in and it's so easy. Why didn't I know this before?

(05:12):
That's what I'm here for, And then.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
So vocally Tash she was, you know, she's been busy
doing stuff. You know, we get to hear a little
bit more about her European trip, and I talked to
her today about this. I have some things that specifically
I can't wait to get off my chest and throw
them to her, and she knows about these things. I'm
excited about that, and I don't get excited about things.
So Tash was excited to have you ladies on. And
anytime she's excited, that gets me excited because she doesn't

(05:36):
get excited about a lot of things.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Hopefully Tash tell them who you are, Oh my.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
God, making me sound grumpy. Well, I'm Tasha, or vocally Tash,
as Brian calls me, and I've been with Brian since
twenty twenty. In twenty twenty, I actually launched my singing career.
I sing and write urban Latin music, so I'm Venezuelan,

(06:02):
so I'm clanic. Groups like very in me. So I
write music that makes people, you know, smile, laugh and
joy and kind of just forget about like the crazy
stuff that happens in this world. And besides that, Brian
was my first the first person that interviewed me on
a show, and we became co hosts and we bonded

(06:26):
super well and five almost my god. Five years later,
Jesus Christ, five years later, a lot I've you know,
my my career has definitely been on upwards slope, which
is very nice a lot of growth in between the years,
and that's that's my passion. I love to sing. Besides singing,

(06:47):
I'm also dedicating a lot of time to social media
and helping other creatives learn how to monetize their social
media with either beauty products or with digital products, because
you know, you gotta take advantage of what we have
on our phone. This is like worth way more money
than people think. This phone could be worth millions of dollars.

(07:08):
You guys have holding in your hands. So I help
other creatives how to monetize and learn how to get
that going. And yeah, that's a little bit about me.
Brian said, I was in Europe. I took my mom
and I and my grandma went together. So we had
a nice little girl's trip over there. And I do
have a song that's coming out this Friday, So get

(07:29):
ready because we're doing a little bit old school reggaeton
if you guys know what that means, and if you don't,
you're still gonna love it, with a little mix of
a bad shot in the nice.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
See obviously you could tell she's from Miami being Venezuelan. Obviously,
Charles in Florida, and then Howard is in. He's in Nashville, Brentwood, Tennessee.
So he's got some storms going on there. Howard, tell
them who you are because you're in that special room
with Divaz this one.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah, I'm in the guest bedroom.

Speaker 8 (07:56):
I'm Howard Wiggins. I'm one of the.

Speaker 7 (07:58):
Top thirty five leading Interred Honors actor, model, dancer, podcast host, author.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
I have done voiceover also, that's.

Speaker 7 (08:08):
Very hard to do, I think, you know, because you
know I did a rabbit rabbit some talk.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
So what does a rabbit sound like? I don't know.

Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah, I do what I can and that's it. And
you know, I'm just enjoying life. I'm I'm an old
man and I'm just going to go out with the bang.
That's all it is.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Powered You're an amazing dancer. Meals are viral.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Than you and the ladies. Uh, He's more than that.
He's just an elegant young man at seventy three.

Speaker 8 (08:44):
Everybody, don't make me a little older than I am.

Speaker 9 (08:49):
And then we have non stop Terry Hi already, I'm
Tererry Marie. I'm in California, Southern California. I've been with
Brian like two thousand and four teen, right, after I
won my first fitness show at the age of forty
six at Muscle Beach. I placed in several fitness competitions.
So I'm very into health and fitness and you know,

(09:11):
trying to inspire women like over forty or fifty that
you don't have to fall apart because you know, I'm
you know, I'm in my late fifties right now, so
I try to say as health healthy as possible. I
do a lot of the red carpet events for Brian
As far as interviewing celebrities, I love doing that. That's
one of my favorite things to do. I've acted off
and on my whole life modeled, fitness modeled. I'm also

(09:34):
in the world orthopedics, so I work in the medical field.
So I am NonStop for a reason. That's why I'm
mixing myself because I was not something going on. So
but it's always about, you know, I love to travel,
I love I love good food, and it's all about
meeting people and you know, experiencing this thing called life.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
And Justine, you know when it's uh and sorry, sorry,
Terry's in Sherman Oaks, California. I'm in North Carolina right now,
heading back to Los Angeles next Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
So I love women who do voiceovers.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
There's many women that have helped that I wouldn't be
doing things that were doing. Blue Hunt was one of them.
Don La Fontaine, Justine, I'm sure you recognize somebody's name,
Dave Sebastian Williams. They are all responsible for me, helping
me get where we are, to help everybody else around
the well doing what we're doing. And she again, a

(10:29):
woman told me that, Brian, you're the average American next door.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You're the warm and friendly guy.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Once she said that, he said, pretend you're Greek, pretend
you're Italian, use your hands. I started becoming less shy
and I started coming out of my shell. And that's
why you see me waving, because it was because being
in a voiceover booth. Justine talk about that, because that's
my love and that career never goes away, and it
can start off hard, but once you get into it,

(10:57):
it's easy. Once you get into it.

Speaker 10 (10:59):
Yeah, anything's easy once you learn how to do it right.
And I think one of the coolest things that you
actually just touched on is without even naming it, is
voiceover has changed massively. I've been doing it for like
over twenty five years, and right, we used to go
into the studio, you needed an agent. So people in
Los Angeles and in bigger city still have that mentality like, oh,

(11:19):
it's tough and you can't get in and you can't
break in, but truthfully you can do it from anywhere.
What you really need is the help. You really need
what I call the four table legs. You need coaching
and training and you hit me square because I have
three p's. I like to talk about pitch, pase, and physicality.
People don't realize how much our smile and our hand

(11:40):
gestures will affect our voice.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
And of course, like you said, right, you're behind a microphone.

Speaker 10 (11:45):
Nobody sees what we're doing, and so we only have
the voice to communicate. What works behind a mic might
not work on film or TV because it'd be like
too much. But you know the famous mel Blanc, the
Man of a Thousand Voices. His kids said they could
watch him in the booth and know what character he
was doing by his posture. They weren't even hearing him.

(12:08):
So it's something people don't realize, but it is. One
of my favorite things to do is teach master classes
and voiceover and teach the three p's and see how
much is unlocked. So it's very different now because you
can start from anywhere.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
You don't.

Speaker 10 (12:23):
I always recommend don't go to big cities to look
for work. There's too much competition. They're still comparing you
to like the people that have been doing it for years,
and you can be just as good if you have
the tools. So the four table legs are this coaching
and training. You got to have a home studio. Now
you cannot work in voiceover with that one. We don't
go into the studio since COVID at all ever. You know,

(12:45):
I do everything from your dubbing, narration, audiobooks, all of it.
Then you need good demos, right and you don't want
to skip great professionally produced demos. And then you need marketing,
of course, like you do with everything. And then I
always say, there's a lovely tablecloth of community, and community
helps us all with everything we do. And in voiceover
it's hard because we are remote. So there's online communities,

(13:08):
and online communities can leave you to wonderful places like
the California Dining Divas, which we get to be in person,
and that is part of growth, like be with all
these women and we all have such incredible specialties and
to collaborate together to move forward on Voice, TV, Bikini show,

(13:29):
our shows, our platforms.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
It's it's really really wonderful.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
And Susan, I was going to ask you, how did
you guys get together? But also KABC Radio man, that's
I was there for a little bit, you know when
it was rocking back in the days and you know,
eighties and nineties, that was one of the places to
be besides kissef fam and then later Parawano sits.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Again, the women never got enough credit.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
I remember being with Jay Thomas in the morning going
in the morning show sometimes how our male Patty was
there if it weren't for the woman behind Jay, they
were really the people. And again, movie reviews and more
is built around women. It was always about the women
in the world of dassage, women in the world of
fitness women, you know leaders CEO is those founders, what
Carol does, what Tash does, what Terry does. Being older're

(14:14):
going on the stage and doing stuff. That's where we
built it. They never, in my view, got enough credit.
And so till this day, I'm thankful those women in Tennessee.
That took me in and hey, Brian, I want you
to meet our people down here. If again, if you
want for women, we wouldn't be where we are. Seven
hundred and fifty million views in counting one of the
best in the world, forty million views in counting on

(14:36):
it two four seven out of Franklin, Tennessee. People don't
you just don't. And these are our numbers, not station numbers,
our numbers. So we did it differently, just like Justine
was saying, you know, you've got to have this stuff
in and so Vatash you're that singer, so you have
to have a different microphone when it comes. If you
want to do voiceovers and you should you speak two languages.

(14:57):
I encourage you to do that right season, right, Justine,
my lingual is happening.

Speaker 6 (15:03):
Yeah, my questions for Justine, but you answered it like
right when you started talking, what do you need to
do to start the four piece? So you answered my questions.
It's something I've always thought about because like people say
that I haven't find a mat a voice, and I
talk a lot with my hands. I'm a lot of
the gestures, but I've never really like decided to be like, okay,

(15:24):
let me like try this, you know, but I've always
been curiosity has always been there.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Yeah, but I don't know. Yeah, sorry, go on, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (15:35):
No, that that finished. I'll finish what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
And oh, I was just going to say, you know,
I appreciate that.

Speaker 10 (15:42):
And I think what people like in so many of us,
and especially women, I just want to do it on
my own.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
I don't want to get help.

Speaker 10 (15:50):
Get help that is what's going to move you forward
with your business, like going to Caroll to get help,
going to someone who's going to help you with your
fitness and a trainer and help you with your nutrition.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
And I think we think I should be able to
do this on our own.

Speaker 10 (16:04):
But the investment that you can make to get these
assets really the difference between success and either not success
or just a lot longer in a struggle. I often
compare it to like if you're on the shore of
the beach and you got to get to the island,
what I want to bring my crew with me. I
don't want to sail over there by myself and my boat,
you know.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
And I want to have fun. And the other thing
I tell New.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
Voice Talent is have fun if you're doing this, have
fun auditioning every time you get in the booth. You guys,
I'm in a wardrobe. This is actually a wardrobe, and
I call it my wardrobe of Narnia. And I just
I come in here and I create characters and I'm
doing audiobooks or whatever I'm doing for podcasts, you know,
and it's just I come in here and it's a
tiny space, but I feel soothed and creative in here.

(16:47):
So create that space for yourself no matter what you're doing,
you know, to move to continue to move forward and
work together, you.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Know, Justine, you know, I didn't even bring up so Brian.
Justine and I want People Choice Award for the podcast
episode we did together on Reclaiming your Voice. It was
the Bold and Limitless Woman, right, So all about women
and the impact that we as women can have. And

(17:14):
Susan is actively right now casting for the next America's
Next Bikini Chef. How cool is that? There's some amazing prizes.
If they win regionally, they get ten thousand dollars plus
five thousand for the charity of their choice. If they
win the Big Kabang in Vegas, they will have twenty

(17:39):
five thousand dollars plus five thousand in cash. So if
you're interested and participating in being the next America's Next
bikini Chef, then you definitely want to get into the
casting right now and see what kind of prizes might
come up for you.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
Right This is for bikini chefs, okay, because I'm a
biki competitor, So this is right up.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
My alley exactly because I didn't all but yeah, I'm sorry,
it's up your alley not so so.

Speaker 12 (18:16):
I'm Susan Herby. I was born and I was born
in Georgia, but most people think I was born in
Alabama because I talk a lot about my family being
from Alabama and our lake house growing up, water skiing
all day, being tired, and cooking in our paintings, our bikinis.

(18:38):
And when I published a book twenty five years ago,
I'm Cooking with Susan's Southern Family Favorites, I did a
book tour in the media asked me, what why are
lunch cooking? And I said it reminded me of home
and reminded me of the lake and water skiing and
cooking in our bikinis, and so they nicknamed me the

(19:00):
Bikini Chef in the name. The name has stuck throughout
all these years and I have now since published eleven
cookbooks along with some diet books. And I last year
God woke me up one morning because I've been praying
for decades, what are we doing? The Bikini chev has

(19:21):
to be more than just recipes and active lifestyle and fitness,
and he said, well, We're going to do America's next
Bikini Chef. So I'm going to be passing over the
Bikini Chef name and brand. But it has to be
a competition series because for twenty five years I have

(19:43):
protected the integrity of the brand with the pffs clean Proteins,
high fiber foods, healthy fats, active lifestyle, and they're along
the way. There have been some like wanta me Bikini Chef,
imposters and no so yeah. So it's really poised to

(20:05):
be an incredible We're already garnering contestants from around the
country and their applications, their submissions, their videos. They have
to submit a video with one of their PFF compliant
dishes a healthy lifestyle activity. I bring in the mist
of America Pageants system in the sense that they have

(20:28):
to answer that elusive question. You know, what does the
bikini chev mean to them? How are they going to
represent the platform? Every single time I get a contestant
application and their video, I'm literally just moved to tears
with how it's touching their lives, touching my life. It's

(20:51):
going to touch anybody who watches the show.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
It really is about.

Speaker 12 (20:57):
This isn't coming from me, This is coming from the
I mean, who want to be competing on the show.
It's about freeing and feeling body confidence and embracing a
love for self and health and wellness and putting you know,
being conscious of what we eat and our activities that

(21:18):
we do, and really women's empowerment and embracing body confidence
no matter what shape, size, culture, cuisine. It's really really beautiful.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
And yeah, we're.

Speaker 12 (21:36):
Bringing this show around the country. Are you guys ready
for this?

Speaker 8 (21:41):
I am.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Yeah. I was gonna say, Susan Terry, you're meant to
meet Terry. This is your speaking for language.

Speaker 9 (21:50):
Yeah, I mean I started. I've always been physically active
and always been like a workout fanatic, but I got
serious about competing when I was forty fixtures old.

Speaker 8 (22:00):
I'm now fifty.

Speaker 9 (22:01):
Seven, and I you know, I still exercise every day,
I eat clean every day, but I also know how
to cook so that I can enjoy food. Because I
enjoy food. I enjoy having a glass of wine every
once in a while. And it's all about health and
balance and being active. And you know, the way that
you stay young when you're older is to be active.

(22:21):
And because diet and lifestyle is how you maintain your
health and your you know, later years. And so many
people don't really realize the importance of the food they
put in their body, and how important is just to
do that walk in the morning, and so so many
people just give up. And you don't have to fall apart.
I mean, it's all a mindset. It's mind muscle body connection.

(22:43):
And if you can, you know, every morning you just
get up to say you're gonna do You put your
affirmations into that mirror and say I'm gonna do this.

Speaker 8 (22:50):
I'm gonna do my best.

Speaker 9 (22:51):
You can accomplish anything, and age is just a number,
which Brian knows.

Speaker 8 (22:54):
I always say.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
So this is what I like to preach to women,
especially like you know, never give up on your dreams.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
I don't care if you're six years old.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
Do not give up on your dreams. It's never too
late to see you Erry.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
Yeah, that was your a vision right there.

Speaker 12 (23:13):
What's exciting about this reality competition series is it's open
to ages twenty five to fifty five, right, And I
originally was considering doing women and men, but then I thought, no,
let's focus on the women. Let's focus on the ladies now,
and then we can do the men's spin off series totally.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
Why I have a question there we go, why did
you cut it off at fifty five? Because I'm fifty
seven and I'm just and don't I don't look my
age or act my age. I mean, so anyway.

Speaker 12 (23:47):
I want it because I want to do that over
fifty five version.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Okay, there you go.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Now.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
I love I don't like worry about it.

Speaker 8 (23:59):
I don't like it I'm that old.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
But I guess, you know, I should be proud of
the way that I look and I am this age,
so you know, I was. What was funny is when
I was in my thirties, I was still modeling, and
I was telling you I was modeling with I was
with I was seven years younger because I always looked
younger than I was, and it was so funny because
later on I'd be a dinner with some of my
girlfriends and I'd be like, you know, I'm like seven
years older than you're, Like what like so, but back

(24:25):
in those days, you know, you were able to lie
about your age. In Hollywood, I think everybody did so
changed their names.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah right, How did how did ding.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Divers get the name? Where did that come from? And
how did you start going from state to state? Because
I like the fact that you guys spread up around
the country.

Speaker 12 (24:43):
Okay, Well, we're Dining Divas and we began in South
Florida about seven years ago and it was a group
of ladies who entrepreneurs loved getting together Dean and call culture.
And then over those last seven years it has expanded.

(25:05):
We branched out to our New York chapter last year
and Dining Vas Texas. Oh my gosh. Okay, Justine is
on the Dining Vas California chapter. Now, we've been filming,
like our gold carpets when you saw some red carpets,
We've been filming a little bit here and there. We

(25:25):
will be launching soon. I'll let Justine speak to that.
What we have planned maybe in except jult, but it's
really about culture, cuisine, diversity and always all all and
immersing ourselves into the history of each state. Right, So

(25:50):
each state has its own story, and we are fortunate
to live in a state in California that so much history.
The California Mission towns alone, just there's so much here,
just even in our proximity, without even leaving the Los

(26:13):
Angeles or Orange County area, but of course the whole state.
We're very excited about sharing the story of California through
different culture, cuisine and diversification. And Justine, why don't you
share a little.

Speaker 10 (26:28):
Bit about our charitable and yeah, it's very important to
us to make do a model of being of service
and also how we bond and have the unity in community.
And we are very fortunate to have gotten to know
Lisa Nichols, some of us, you know, even Susan was

(26:48):
in a Mastermind with her last year. I got to
meet her at a speaking rite and she actually spoke
at the event that we were all at this past week.
And she has a camp for the welfare and mental
health of kids and it's really her baby. Her son Jelani,
runs it and it's right here in right Wood to California,
which is around Big Bear. So we are going to

(27:09):
film different things at the camp show these kids show
their transition from start to end they camp this year,
it's a very big only the third year of the camp,
and they are trying to make it free for everyone.
They don't want finances to restrict someone who needs to

(27:30):
be there. And I think it's from I think I
don't don't hold me of this, but maybe twelve to
seventeen I think is the range of ages. And so
they're really and we want to help get sponsors both
in restaurants and open up the area to show what's
at Big Bear because.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
There's so many wonderful things.

Speaker 10 (27:49):
But in order to sponsor one child, they need nine
hundred and ninety seven dollars per child, so donations in fact,
we can maybe even post a link here for them,
And of course we're going to need to do some
co sponsorships to make our episode and highlight what is
going on there. Interviewing Lisa, interviewing Jolanni, interviewing the kids,

(28:09):
and showing all the amazing things that are going to
be happening. It's called uh Motivating teen Spirit. Her organization
is Motivating Oh my gosh, someone helped me here Motivating Yes,
so this teen Spirit and I actually will grab the

(28:29):
link and put it in the chat so you guys
have it, and we will be looking for sponsors too,
so you can reach out to Susan and I to
help sponsor the episode which is going to highlight Motivating
Teen Spirit with Lisa Nichols and Jolanni Nichols and Bryan.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
They also do are involved in work in Kenya as well.
Justine's got done quite a lot of work there and but.

Speaker 10 (28:58):
We are having a whole you know, the divas are
part of It's a really beautiful thing. There's so much
happening that is spinning off. We have a global network
and it's so exciting, you know. One thing I know
we talked about the cuisine and showing off the different
beautiful things in southern California or Texas or New York,
but also our sisterhood and how we support one another

(29:20):
is probably one of my most loved things about the
Diva Network and the Denny Beavers California. Because we don't
we want to show women supporting women. We have some
shows out there that don't necessarily highlight that, and I
think it's very important, especially for our youth. And I
actually was in Tanzania working with entrepreneurial women micro fund

(29:42):
with two dollars a month, which blew my mind and
they are joyous and free, but how much could we
help them with five dollars a month?

Speaker 5 (29:50):
Ten dollars a month, you know.

Speaker 10 (29:52):
And then we worked with entrepreneur young women bringing them
reusable menstrul products so that they can stay in school
because of they don't have a place to change, they
don't have proper hygiene, and so they just go home
for those seven days and then a lot of them
don't go back because they're falling behind. And you will
find in Africa there is a huge honoring of education

(30:15):
and so having a way to help these kids stay
in school. And we work at the nonprofit over there,
the Naguzu Women and Youth Foundation, so we hope.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
To go back and just continue to have global impact
in that way.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
That's good to hear that, that's definitely important, and that's
one of the reasons why a lot of.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
People go over there.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
When you guys get to Tennessee, I'm going to nominate Howard,
I'm going to nominate Jenny Jackson because she would be
great for them as one of the guyan Beavers in Tennessee.
Her dad's the state cenator there. But she used to
work at Carleac Motors, all high end cars. She's got
a you know, her list is billionaires and millionaires. She's
one of our really really good friends out of Nashville.

(30:52):
But also she works at King's Jewelers. So everybody in
the world of country gets their jewelry from Jenny. He's
really good at everything.

Speaker 12 (31:02):
I can't hint, Brian. We plan to film in Memphis
Atshville in August, So that's right.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Oh, so this is where it happened, this is this
is where the guys help help support you women at
that point. Yeah, so that'll be great because when Howard
goes out dancing, he's dancing and all kinds of I've
never seen so many women in my life that are
all in Nashville now that used to be in different
places around the country.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
I can it's a great yeah, And I have a
wonderful connection that we are sort of luring into our
diva web in Louisville, Kentucky that do a big le
galla the night before Kentucky Derby but we want to
we want to you know, converge on Memphis for this event,
and it would be great to meet. And we also
are launching Diva Locals, so we might be able to

(31:50):
get some action.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
Going with your friends, right Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Ah, yeah, I could see that happening.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Talk about this. I met someone. She's back from Florida.
She I'm sure you guys know it. She didn't know
Carol yet. We met on easy Way one of the
pitch parties there. I think your name was Charrisma was
something like that, but we talked h.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Or yeah Carissa.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yes, oh that's right.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
I did meet her. Yes, and she's launched a skincare line,
is that correct?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 8 (32:28):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
See that's why I like you women.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
You know, I'm starting to get all these products from women,
nothing from the men. But but it works inisex and everything,
so I'll take it.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
You know.

Speaker 12 (32:40):
Well finally be yeah, being developed by by Carissa. She's
one of our Divas Dining Davas Florida team and one
of our founding members of Dining Empire actually along with
myself and two others. But her beauty brand is science
based and one of the reasons why she wanted to

(33:01):
do it was because when she was part of the divas,
We're always putting on this makeup and everything all the time.
She's like, whant I be more clear about what I'm
putting on my skin all the time? And so she
because I decided to develop her her beauty or her
skincare line beauty. So yeah, we were just in an
earlier call today about that.

Speaker 10 (33:21):
Yeah, and Susan didn't she help get some funding through
the network as well, like through the entrepreneurship and it helped,
it helped launch it.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
I seem to recall that hearing that there.

Speaker 12 (33:35):
The Dining Empire and Philo America Sex. There has been
discussions about that, but nothing finalized as yet.

Speaker 10 (33:43):
Well, it's just the support is where I think we
all feel a little bit more empowered. And just so
you know, Brian, because you asked earlier, female voices often
sell products a little better than that.

Speaker 8 (33:53):
I know.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
I was so honored when I took my voice lessons
back in the early night from Lou Hunt. I called
her earlier this year and she goes, I remember you,
why are you calling him? Like Lou, You've changed my life.
She had no idea. You know, I wanted to get
her on a show, but she was man, you talk
about mail Blood for everybody in the audience who doesn't
know you talk about Bucks, Bunny, those all those classic

(34:17):
cartoon voices. He did them all, and you know you
can have a lot of those, specially because women do
sell more products. I love closing my eyes and listening
to women's voices. I mean, you know, my voice, this
is not my booth. It's my friend's a voice of
booth's right next to me. And it's one of those
things where they do And again, if it went for Lou,
we wouldn't be doing what we're doing because she's responsible

(34:40):
saying Brian, you're a woman friendly guy.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I had no idea.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I thought my voice sucked. It was high pitched. It
was coming out of radio, and you know radio doesn't
work with voiceovers. And then I heard one tape and
she goes Dave Sebastian Williams said, find that person that
you can identify with, and it was the guy from Lou.
I can't remember his name. I heard his voice on.
My voice sounds like it Burton, Barburton. Yeah, my voice

(35:07):
sounds like his. And I said I get it.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
It's so interesting.

Speaker 10 (35:11):
And I always tell my students be aware of who's
on TV and who's popular, because often when we get auditions,
they'll say, we're looking for a Morgan Freeman.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
We're looking for it. But they don't mean to sound
like them. They mean.

Speaker 10 (35:24):
I always say, think about the attitude or how do
you feel when you hear Morgan Freeman? Oh, I feel
I can trust him, or he's authoritative, but he's kind
and compassionate.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
And I'm like, look at those words.

Speaker 10 (35:35):
That's what you want to bring authentically into your voice,
not sounding like Morgan Freeman. And that seems to translate
with people pretty well.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Howard, you were talking earlier about you thought voiceovers was hard.

Speaker 8 (35:47):
Yeah, I do, I do.

Speaker 7 (35:49):
But I have a question about the uh the bikini beavis?
Are you you said body imagery? So are you looking
for women with a beautiful body or all kinds of body?
And if it's all kinds of body, uh, how are
you promoting that?

Speaker 12 (36:06):
Well? I sent it out for contestants who enjoy promoting
PFF like the protein, healthy fiber, healthy fat. They're from
all over the country. We have contestants in Chicago, Florida,
New York, Atlanta, taxes everywhere.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
And they're all fit bodies. No, no, no, Well then
then if you're eating healthy, you're going to be fit.
How can you not have a fit body if you're
not eating healthy?

Speaker 12 (36:40):
Well, they're there. They have to when they submit, they
submit their PFF compliant dish and then they do have
to demonstrate an active lifestyle activity and it's on video
and they talk about that in there. But we have
women of all shapes and sizes. I mean, come on,

(37:00):
and we have I don't know, you just gave birth.
I mean there's a lot of Yeah, but we have
like a Denise Austin who's like fit, and then you
have say Venus and Serena Williams. They're fit, but they're
not necessarily in size too, you know. So you have
all shapes and sizes cultures. I love getting these videos

(37:24):
and seeing them in their daily life. We've got pilates and.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Weight.

Speaker 12 (37:31):
We have somebody bikini competitors. Yeah, we but we don't
have to fit. We have the goal is that to
get people watching this show, if they can make one
or two changes in their diet to incorporate a healthier foods,
and then they're empowered or encouraged to get off that

(37:55):
accounch and get out and do an active lifestyle activity.
That's who we're looking for. So we're going to be filming.
They're going to be six regional winners, so that's going
to be sixty women, so ten in each market California, Texas, Florida, Georgia,

(38:16):
New York, Illinois, and so it's going to be a
balance of everything. We have a panel of five judges,
but it's not just me, and the judges are a mixture
of men and women, some chefs, some fitnicks, experts, a
beauty pageant winner, all different diversities, cultures, and the reason

(38:37):
for that is because it's not it's not up to me,
it's we have a panel of judges and it's really
exciting and each person competing will share their story, they
demonstrate their active lifestyle. We'll be cooking where this is
the first ever figure flattering chef and active lifestyle reality

(38:59):
TV competent.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
It's never been done before.

Speaker 7 (39:02):
And be eliminated along the way to get to the
final I mean, are they competing against each other?

Speaker 8 (39:08):
And then weed it down.

Speaker 12 (39:11):
I said, we'll have Well, they are, but not not
like not like Top Chef. While they line up and
they're competing against their mystery basket of food, right, they
bring their own culture cuisine and has to be PFF compliant.
They present their dish to the judges in a bikini
and an apron by the way, and I was gonna

(39:37):
wear my be for you today, but.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Andy from Alabama, you can get away with it.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
You're shot on the website. It's awesome. Go to her
Bikini chef dot com.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Well I love that yellow dress.

Speaker 12 (39:52):
Yeah, thank you, thank you. It's one of my favorite.
So we'll have so we'll have six regional winners. So yeah,
we'll start with ten in each market, and they compete
in two episodes. Going to Drop is a four episode
mini season in each market, so it's the big it's
a huge, fun production. And then we get it down

(40:15):
to the top five and then those top five do
another dish and then they share what the Bikini chep
means to them, how would they represent the platform, And
then we'll select the second runner up, first runner up
in the winner. Then when we have the six regional winners,
we will fly them to Las Vegas to compete for

(40:35):
the grand title of America's next bikini chep. It's really
it's so exciting. I get goosebumps.

Speaker 8 (40:42):
Where would this air own? It's a channel, it is set.

Speaker 12 (40:46):
We are in collaboration with Fubuo Network and Fuboo Studios,
and it will be distributed across Amazon Prime, Google TV,
Apple TV and twelve other streaming platforms. So peacock to
be all those different this streaming.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
Yeah awesome, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
You have good distribution there for that. I look forward,
I said, I look forward to the convention in two years.
I can see that just growing that quickly.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
It reminds me.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
I remember for BRAVL and NBC we were doing The
Real Housewives of Orange County and I saw the women.
I think it was like oh, four o six one
inter of you. Nobody wanted to talk to them. I
was stuck talking to them and I said, you guys
are going to be stars in three months.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
I said six months. It was three months.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
And then there's two of them are still on And
I said, I didn't see that going that long. I'm
just branching out. But I see this happening the same way.
But I see this being a lot more popular because
it's food using.

Speaker 12 (41:48):
Yes, one thing we have attached, so we have celebrity
hosts attached. We have three judges that travel with the show,
but in each market we're going to have two guest judges,
so you know, sports stars, pageant winners, celebrities. But one
of my favorite aspects about the show is that recently

(42:12):
we met someone in la Justin and you weren't there
when we met him. But he has an organization called
Foster Warriors, and it's about celebrating veterans and veterans who
have suffered specific trauma. And so one of the Navy

(42:33):
Seal veterans is going to make a special appearance in
the grand finale. He is a gourmet chef and he's
going to prepare a healthy meal and I'm hoping that
we can have him announce America's next bikini chef. Men's periods.

Speaker 8 (42:57):
Cool.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah, we've got a couple of minutes left. Howard's talk
about what's next to you there?

Speaker 2 (43:06):
What are you coming up?

Speaker 7 (43:07):
That's an imperial yellow vase that actually used to belong
to the last Emperor of China.

Speaker 8 (43:12):
I have one of a.

Speaker 7 (43:14):
Hair I've got the magazine that it was featured in. Uh,
just one of my collections which I've collected all my life.
Let's see what do I have coming up? Well, my
next thing is I'm looking forward. I want to move
to Chattanooga, so I've got plans to do that. I
went yesterday and kind of toured around and Baltimore Art.

(43:34):
I cannot help myself from.

Speaker 8 (43:36):
Spending the time, you know. And I have no walls
that are blank nothing. It's I'm a maximist.

Speaker 7 (43:44):
I even have my own styles called stacked and Layered,
So I want as much as I can. And the
more I see them, happier I get, I can sell.
That's it, Carol, Eric.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
I want to give I mean, Brian, I had Eric
Zuli on my mind. I want to give a shout
out to an Easy Way because the divas are also
involved with easy Way and easy Way TV as we are.
So that's a great streaming platform right there. And I
am super excited to be delivering these master classes. I've

(44:18):
got this one coming up Thursday to really help great
women have great wealth for great impact in the world.
I feel like right now is our time, more than
any time in history has ever happened before, and so
it's something where we can step up and participate in
creating a greater world together, each in our very special

(44:41):
individual and unique ways.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
Awsh, I'm thinking about Italy these days, you traveling outside

picture of us and made it into a newspaper.
