Speaker 2 (00:14):
hey, it's jen the builder, and uh cory and hello
cory and everyone else that'shere and hello jen the builder,
and everyone else here.
You know what?
And hello Jen the Builder andeveryone else here.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know what I love that you call me Jen the Builder
, because I have a quick storyto share, sure, so over the week
I was reminiscing about thingsand reading a book that I
haven't been in in a while Okay,okay, I mean, I've been in it,
but it's been so surface so Isaid I need to dive deep.
(00:49):
I just need to dive deep, andone of the things that I learned
is this so we, we've alwaystalked about the meaning of it
actually provides some kind ofpath, or or it influences who
(01:10):
you are and what you're about.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Right Definitely gives you context.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yes.
So my mom was going to name meNehemiah and I know I've shared
this before Nehemiah becausethey didn't know if I was going
to be a boy or girl.
I think they were hoping that Iwas going to be a boy, but hey,
guess what?
You didn't know if I was goingto be a boy or a girl.
I think they were hoping that Iwas going to be a boy, but hey,
guess what?
You didn't get that, you got meinstead.
So my mom, in all her cuteness,was, instead of finding a new
(01:36):
name, she was just going tochange the pronunciation of
Nehemiah which, by the way, is aprophet in the Bible to Nehemia
.
I'm sorry for laughing, but justhearing that name, nahimya it
sounds uh um a little bitcomical the way you're saying
it's not a funny name becauseI'm sure very dramatic I'm sure
(01:57):
there's someone out there namedright but it's not what that
emphasis let me let me say itlike in a sweet way, okay
nahimia very much so uh rightnahimia much better, much better
, thank you but in my mind I waslike you were gonna name me
nahimia, um, so I always knew itto mean like knee high right.
(02:20):
Well, guess what, cory, thisprophet actually was inclined to
build?
Yes, then the builder, and heorganized like men and and women
and rebuilt cities now, youdidn't always know that right I
just found this out during theweek.
oh okay, so I thought, eventhough mom didn't give me that
(02:43):
name, because my dad thankfullystepped in with Genevieve, but
it still stuck, isn't thatinteresting Very interesting Jen
the.
Builder and I told my mom thisover the weekend.
She just giggled.
She thought it was so cute.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So you are who you're supposed to be anyway, that's
right.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Okay, pretty cool, right.
Anyways, how's your week been,corey?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Week end was phenomenal.
I could go on and on and on,but I won't.
It's just lots of fun.
We did visit the land of Disneywith a friend Shout out to our
friend and we just had a blast.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It was very comical with some of the antics going on
From the beginning In the.
Where you park matters, by theway, please.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's all I'm going to say Please remember this
Don't park in places that younever parked before.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, she said she had when you've never parked
before.
Well, let's just say it likethis If it's not broke, there's
no need to fix it, absolutelylike if it works.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
There's no need to try to go anywhere else but she
provided some very good qualitybonding time and it was lots of
fun yes, it was actually.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's how we started our memorial day weekend.
Well, we hope you all had agood one and we are inspired.
And, cory, you um pretty muchproduced this show, or at least
what the topic's going to beabout you want to share.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I did and I will, and we're going to be talking about
inspiration and not just anynormal inspiration, and I'll
kick this off with a very uh,direct question to jen only
because there's different partsof inspiration that I feel we
don't tap into on a regularbasis.
So if you're ready to dive in,I'm so ready, jen I.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I believe I'm ready.
Let's do it let's see.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So I believe I know my wife very, very well and I
also believe that I understandher.
See, knowing someone andunderstanding them is two
completely and totally differentthings.
With my understanding of Jen, Iknow when she's getting dressed
for her day going to work,there are things that she does
intentionally.
(04:59):
And when these things arehappening, when they're in the
motions of being done, I'msaying to myself, oh, this is
the kind of day she's planningon having, oh, she's going to
try to do this today, and so I'mgoing to let her explain after
I ask this question.
(05:20):
But with the intentionalitythat she uses, I notice when the
inspiration is kicked up to thenext notch.
And so, jen, first questionabout your inspiration on a
daily basis.
When you're getting dressed andyou're going through your
makeup routine and you'reputting yourself together, can
(05:40):
you explain how even the veryparts of putting on makeup
inspire you to be who you are ona daily basis?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, so because I'm going to do their makeup
(06:15):
hairstyles.
You know I'm very drawn to thatkind of stuff.
I'm a girl's girl, and so whenit's been done, well, well, the
inspiration is what sparked it,right?
right so that's how I think ofinspiration, and I can name some
people who are influencers oractresses or singers, or even
(06:36):
people in my life.
So that's the inspo.
Now, what keeps me doing itevery day is the motivation.
It keeps, keeps pushing me.
So, um, corey, you help me withthat.
Like my music number one, andif I want to really get into it,
I play a song that was writtenjust for me, and I mean, how
(06:59):
many people can say that theyhad a song written just for them
?
So Corey wrote me a song calledit's All Right, right, yes, and
I'm all.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
that's what it's called, right?
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And so that's very motivating.
I have a special vanity set.
It's Hello Kitty.
It lights up.
I have all my makeup lined upand I just feel like it's a
great way to start my day.
So the inspiration for me waslike big picture, and then the
(07:32):
motivation is what keeps medoing it every day nice, nice.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I started there on purpose, because that's
typically the beginning of yourday, that's what's getting you
out of the room, out of thehouse, into the car or into the
office and then moving youforward.
And so, if you have a very lowenergy start to your day,
(07:57):
inspiration is going to be at aminimal.
That's right.
Tell me about that bigdifference that happens when you
have a minimal amount ofinspiration opposed to the right
music, the right clothes, theright makeup, the right mood,
everything being in its right,proper space so I think that's
(08:19):
the setup to keep me encouraged,right?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
so let's talk about like, because, for me, like what
lights me up?
Yeah, to do the thing.
Well, I'll tell you what is thebest inspiration, even before
the makeup and all that, it'swhen we're moving.
So if you and I get a goodbrisk, walk in and I have my
(08:43):
quiet time and I've fed my heart, my spirit, like it's, it's
over, like that kind ofinspiration, just kind of
carries.
So not only does it light me upand lift me up, it carries me
through.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, absolutely yeah, but I just want to hear what the
difference or the opposite.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, got you, got you.
So, man, the opposite is, to behonest, like I really feel like
I just want to call off today,Right, if we're going to be real
, yeah, like I don't even wantto do this.
I'd rather stay in bed or I'lljust work from home.
You know what gosh I wish thiswas a work from home day, so
(09:29):
it's that kind of way.
I actually am more inclined toface my day and I'm like bring
it on whatever comes my way,whereas the other, without that
inspiration and that push whichmotivates me, then I get
complacent, you know, and justkind of lazy actually, I feel.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Right, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
What about you?
What gets you going?
What keeps you inspired to doall the things that you do?
And let me explain this in casesomeone is listening for the
first time.
So Corey is my husband, if youdidn't already figure that out.
And not only does this man holda nine to five, it's the way,
(10:11):
corey, I feel, the way you holdit.
Like I see the way you provideservice to people and how you
build relationships.
On top of that, you're anactive author, like a book every
three to four months, and Ithink it'd be more if you were
able to do all the things byyourself.
(10:32):
But because we have a team, wewait on each other, right, and
then you play music.
You write music, you take careof home.
You're my confidant.
You're like my best friend.
You're a father.
You're my confidant.
You're like my best friend.
You're a father, you're a son.
I mean, you're a businessmanand we're looking at new
(10:56):
businesses.
So this is you every day, everyday, and it doesn't stop what
does the?
inspiration.
Look like for someone like you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I think you just said it.
That's all just soinspirational.
And not only that, I wanted it.
So I built myself in a way towhere and when I say that guys,
I don't mean literally like I, I, this is all me, I, I, I.
What I mean, is I prepared forthe task that that I'm dealing
(11:33):
with?
And I wanted to deal with them.
I, I didn't say no to any ofthem.
I didn't say I don't think Ican.
I said I want it, put me incoach.
And we've had this conversation.
It's my time, it's my turn.
I'm ready for this.
I like to say that we werepretty successful raising three
(11:54):
children into adulthood.
They're out there doing theirown thing right now, and so
whatever happens from this pointis a result of what Jen and I
have poured into them.
As far as all the other stuff,you only get one life and you
got to make the best of it.
(12:14):
And life doesn't listen to yourexcuses.
I don't care what you tell it.
It does not pay attention towhat excuse you've come up with,
why you didn't accomplishsomething, why you didn't do
something.
And it's so important to me toleave a legacy, and a lot of
people think money or a house ora car, but um, I don't know
(12:37):
what, what um car edison wasdriving or what house he owned,
but I do know that he figuredout the light bulb thing and
that's a pretty big legacy.
I also know that his family isbenefiting from the things he
left.
That name carries some weight,and those are the kind of things
(12:58):
that I look to do.
When I talk about changing theworld, people look at me like
I'm crazy, but I really meanthat I plan on changing this
world If it's nothing but oneperson or one system or one
thing that I think is not beingrun properly.
And that's my inspirationmorning, noon and night.
I know I just went on, butthat's, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's good stuff.
So, man, what amazing sourcesfor inspiration.
Some of the things, too, thatare inspiring that I especially
love is when it comesunexpectedly.
Yeah, like you and I might begoing to a program and we think,
oh, this is going to be so cute, and then there's that one kid
(13:40):
that just blows your mind, right, right, and then it's just like
this is lighting me up and itmakes you want to do more.
It's like, yes, and what I loveabout inspiration is that
you're not looking for it and itjust visits you, and I know a
lot of people find this in books, maybe even like walking in
(14:02):
nature.
You know, that's very inspiring.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Another thing that surprises me with inspiration is
when it comes from a source ofpain, like you know, or grief,
or loss, and then that becomesyour purpose absolutely, and so,
jen, you did me a solid rightnow, you gave me a proper intro
to what I do, and and so itsounds like I you, you know
(14:27):
really have some big thingshappening going on, which which
they are, but I deduced you tomakeup.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
You sure did, and I'm like that's all right, this is
a part of me, that's a fun partof me, and that's just not fair
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
So I definitely want to give you your just do as well
, because you're you're abusiness woman, an author,
active author, and that's keybecause there are lots of
authors who have decided to hangit up.
Whether it be one book, twobooks or a million books, you
know, the active act of writingis key.
When you're calling yourself anauthor and you've inspired
(15:04):
others to write, that's where Iwant to go.
You've inspired others to write.
That's where I want to go.
How do you feel about beinginspiration as someone else in
your field?
Uh, I know you're not an activenurse, but you are a nurse and
you keep your credentials active.
Um, you're a coach and amanager and you help lead teams
(15:24):
of people on a regular.
So how does it feel to besomeone's inspiration?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's incredible that you're asking me this on the
podcast and I'm having to answerthis in here.
I'm going to give you somecontext, okay.
Sure, so a couple of weeks Ihad asked my boss hey, do you
have any feedback for me?
So a couple of weeks I hadasked my boss hey, you know, do
you have any feedback for me?
And he knows that I'm at thispivotal part of my life, my
career.
(15:52):
And he said this just so direct.
He said I know you'd like tothink that people know what you
do because your work is so great, know what you do because your
work is so great.
And he's all I'm going tochallenge and stretch you to be
comfortable and confident intalking about the work that you
(16:13):
do and plugging into the rightpeople and sharing what you do
and who you are, instead ofhoping that other people who've
benefited from your work will dothat on your behalf, because a
lot of people just aren't builtthat way.
And so here we are and you'reasking me right.
So, um, how it feels is first,I'm very humbled by it, but how
(16:37):
it feels is like I light myselfup because I get to do the
things that I love and it'sserving a purpose and it speaks
to people and so, like, whenpeople call me for mentorship or
call me for advice, it's stillto this day and I hope I never
(16:59):
lose it.
I really hope I never do.
It still blows my mind that,wow, this, this is that moment,
right.
Or when I'm invited to speak atconferences or women's groups
and things like that, and it's arepeat invitation.
(17:19):
So it means like, okay, thefirst time went well, oh snap,
I'm getting a second one.
You know, and those are thehappy moments and it's and I
have I always say this.
I feel like I have to preamble,like, oh, I'm not trying to be
full of myself and I really needto let that go, because it's
okay to say what you do and it'sokay to say I was inspired
(17:42):
enough.
So something pulled me in andlit me up so tough that I
actually had the motivation.
Because this is how I see itInspiration pulls you in and
then motivation pushes you to dothe thing.
I think motivation is thereaction to the inspiration.
Inspire someone and that justblows my mind, even if only one
(18:11):
person, if that's what what'shappened and they become
motivated enough to pushthemselves to talk to me or push
themselves to do the thing.
Nothing, um, I don't want tosay nothing, but that is one of
the biggest things that bringsme joy.
And it's not a matter of myself, it's just that seeing people
(18:32):
whether it was me or someoneelse that inspired them to get
the motivation and the push todo something is is pretty
awesome I.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I love it.
That was a lot of good, solidinformation.
I'm just going to pick onething that was simple for me to
really decide how I want to takethis and chew on it and digest
it.
You said your boss told you toplug in, and when I think about
(19:06):
plugging in, I think abouteither receiving some energy or
giving some energy Because itcan go both ways.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's so brilliant.
You set me on fire immediately,so that's my biggest takeaway.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Wow, so you're an energy giver.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah.
And a taker yeah yes becausesome things are plugging in to
get energy and some things areplugging in to give energy.
And so which one are you goingto be today?
Because you could be either orit's not.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Like one is bad or both yeah so you asked me which
one am I going to be?
Well, I'll tell you what.
Let's just take this podcast,for instance.
I'm going to ask you how wouldyou relate the plugging in and
take the elevator Like, what hasthat done for you?
Oh, man.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
So now I see what you were faced with, because this
is actually energy giving to me.
Yeah, energy giving to me?
Yeah, and I I honestly feellike I'm I'm ready to put out,
because the energy I have isjust generating more and more
power, and I hope someone isreceiving something, and here's
the key I don't care if it'severybody, because I know I'm
(20:20):
not going to say somethingthat's going to affect every
single person I'm talking toyeah.
I know that sometimes only oneperson is going to respond or
say, wow, that was for me andI'm good with that, and then
other times multiple people willprobably say, hey, you know
what that was for me.
But regardless, I think at thismoment, me being able to talk
(20:44):
to people and just put theinformation out there is giving
me what I need and again, I hopeit's returning the favor.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm going to say it is because of the feedback we've
received and I agree with you,corey, it's essential in our
lives.
I feel this podcast and it's sofunny guys, because I looked up
like longest running podcastsor most episodes and I gotta
look it up again, but therearen't a lot of podcasts that
(21:15):
I've found that into their 361stepisode, right this is true.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
There are a few, quite a few, but the thing about
it is that we weren't famous.
We weren't yeah that's so true,had a name right and then the
podcast was a result of it rightwhich is typically how it
happens absolutely we're nonames, you know doing the
podcast and just enjoying theprocess and then growing, yeah,
(21:45):
as we go and that was importantfor us, because we wanted to
start with zero recognition,zero notoriety, and then begin
something with just talking tothe everyday, average people
that would want to, you know, beable to build themselves up and
take away some good points thatwe were talking about so I you
(22:12):
know, I I think we gave a shoutout, but I think we need to do
the noble thing and really spellthis out.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Cory, I had been on instagram and we have an author
friend, annette, and she wasposting on instagram that she
was going to have a.
What is it called?
And when they're at the library?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
oh, yeah, and they highlight the.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Author book signing and yeah answer question yeah,
and so I'm like, absolutely,because we we love to support
people in their endeavors andespecially when their work is
you good work, and she's such asolid person for the Hispanic
community and female writers,you know, of course so we go and
(22:56):
I'm just anticipating a chillday and enjoying, and you know,
light conversation.
That was an unexpectedinspiration because she said so
many things that I'm like I dothe same thing and I always
thought like something's wrongwith me, like why do I not
produce the thing until the verylast minute?
(23:18):
And so, hearing her story andall the times that she tried and
tried again, tried and triedagain, and then she talked about
her support in her communitythat was unexpected inspiration.
And you know that kind of way,when you're just in the presence
of someone like that and youfeel like I can do this, I feel
(23:41):
seen and heard, I know whatshe's talking about, and look at
her now and she's just so calmand quiet about hers, isn't she?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The thing that was most inspiring about her for me
is that this woman is not one ofthose that have to have the
attention not has to be in thespotlight, and I get it.
When you're an author and you'rebeing spotlighted, you have to
take that step in that, in thatarea.
(24:12):
However, that's not.
She's not attention seeking,she's just being sought after
because of her gift and ability.
Yeah, and I definitelyunderstood more, just from a
woman's point of view, when Iheard her and because I never
thought you were strange orweird.
I just was like thank you, whyis she waiting so long?
(24:35):
Just get it done.
Because I'm a, I'm a, you know,six months to a year, right,
everything, because I'm justeverything.
But that's just not everybody.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Everybody doesn't work on the under those yeah,
you know circumstances so let meexplain a little more, a little
more, a little more.
In my world, the I'm gonna say90 of the creation happens in my
head and I'm always in it andit doesn't come out until it's
time.
And when it does come out,that's why I'm able to work so
(25:08):
fast.
And people are like how in theworld?
Well, I've been living in itall this time, you know that
kind of way.
So that was very inspiring tohear, because she's written so
much and then she gets re-uppedfor another contract, for a few
more books, you know, and that'sintense because you're getting
(25:29):
contracted for books and youhave to write them by a certain
time.
But the thing is, is the duedates actually work for her?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
yeah so and the competition is not other writers
, it's herself, right she?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
actually said that world is very um non-competitive
right, because they're justcheering each other on.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's room for everybody and I'm not used to
that, so I'm.
But I'm good with competingwith myself because I'm always
trying.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Oh, my god, you got to tell the story you told me
earlier about how.
So here's the thing inspiration, another thing I'm going to say
.
I think it really happensthroughout different moments in
your life and then when you getmature or older, it comes
together and you're like that'swhy I was the way I am, because
(26:20):
it was for this moment or thoseare the things that interested
me then for you writing and justcreating.
But you told me the cuteststory about being in competition
with yourself.
I hope it translates well onthis, because I'm putting you on
the spot to share it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So I was telling Jen, you know she had just visited a
friend that had a young childand she was talking about the
temperament of this child and Ijust have always felt like if we
had a child together, thischild would have been extremely
hyperactive.
Because I remember myself as akid and the story that I opted
(26:58):
to tell her was the level ofhyperness was insane.
Like I, all I did was run andjump and run faster and uh, and
I told her about this time in mylife, coming from elementary
school, I lived about two milesaway from the school and I'm
literally running as fast as Ihumanly possibly could and
(27:22):
busting through the door andlike I'm trying to shave off
seconds and not for competitionAgainst yourself yeah.
I just want to beat threeminutes.
I think it was like fiveminutes and 14 seconds and I was
trying to get to 10 seconds andI bust through the door mom,
what's my time, what's my time?
And she's like calm down, andI'm like you gotta tell me.
(27:45):
So I was just explaining.
What was inspirational to mewas just being better, getting
better, getting faster, you knowso yeah, and here you are today
, still the same still the same.
I don't run like that, no more,that's no in other things.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
yeah, could you imagine?
Oh, no, I love that story andso I I wonder what other
components of your life make youfeel like, oh, that and this
and in addition to this, andhere I am today, and so, people
(28:22):
who are listening, it's fun togo back in time and think about
who you were and who you stillare.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I think that's why, Corey, you and I really hold a
piece of us to be very playfuland childlike.
Thus, everyone, I have aconfession I have not shared
this with you all I hope you'renot about to say what I think
you're about to say but I thinkyou're gonna say it anyway, go
ahead I don't know if you know.
So, um, cory and I, for downtime, we have enjoyed disneyland in
(28:55):
the last year or so.
Right, we got magic keys.
Man, it was great, and wefigured how many trips we need
to take for it to pay off.
Let me tell you, we tripled theamount of trips.
Okay, we sure did.
And I said you know, corey,it's time for us to grow up a
little bit and do some otherthings.
And, um, we're not going torenew our magic keys.
(29:18):
Sorry, that's just not, youknow, just not going to do it.
And so you went along with itAt first.
At first, and as we're gettingcloser, I went with some friends
, had a great time.
Then, corey and I went withsome other friends, had a great
time.
Then cory and I went with someother friends, had a great time.
(29:40):
And the thing is is, if youdon't renew your magic keys, you
might not get them becausethere wasn't a release for magic
keys.
Right, it's all a gamble.
And so guess what we did?
We not only renewed them, weupgraded our Magic Keys.
So we don't have to pay forparking when we go, it's a
(30:01):
bigger discount when we shop.
It's like, oh my gosh, we'vedone it again.
We've done it again and in amost major way.
But I think that's inspirationtoo for us.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Is being able to play , because there is a lot of work
and it's fun work.
But what I'm excited about isthe motivation that we have to
do it and then seeing howeverything is coming together
and just knowing that there's somuch more and I think it's more
than we could ever imagine andthat in itself is inspiring.
(30:34):
The unknown, see, and that'swhat I love about this journey
the things that scare youactually become the things that
motivate you.
The unknown, that's somethingthat people aren't comfortable
with, and I'm not totallycomfortable with it, but once
you've seen and done all thesethings so many times and you've
(30:55):
seen how the unknown's not sobad actually, it's actually
better than I thought it wasgoing to be Most of the unknown.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
There are some unknowns that I've encountered.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Like oh.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I don't know if I wanted to do this.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah for sure, and that's why I don't think there's
absolutes and everything.
But if I had to speak majority,I'd go with the majority of
that.
I um, most of what I'veexperienced that's unknown has
been pretty um giving.
Yeah.
So, gory, thanks for, uh, thisinspiring episode.
(31:34):
It's been great to just sitback and enjoy and recall, yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah, yeah, and feel free to go over and visit that
website, the genco, or, ifyou're in the book, into the

furry forestcom and you know usto take the elevator.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
We say, look up and let's elevate every day, elevate
every day elevate every day.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Elevate every day.
hey, it's jen the builder, and uh cory and hello
cory and everyone else that'shere and hello jen the builder,
and everyone else here.
You know what?
And hello Jen the Builder andeveryone else here.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
You know what I love that you call me Jen the Builder
, because I have a quick storyto share, sure, so over the week
I was reminiscing about thingsand reading a book that I
haven't been in in a while Okay,okay, I mean, I've been in it,
but it's been so surface so Isaid I need to dive deep.
(00:49):
I just need to dive deep, andone of the things that I learned
is this so we, we've alwaystalked about the meaning of it
actually provides some kind ofpath, or or it influences who
(01:10):
you are and what you're about.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Right Definitely gives you context.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yes.
So my mom was going to name meNehemiah and I know I've shared
this before Nehemiah becausethey didn't know if I was going
to be a boy or girl.
I think they were hoping that Iwas going to be a boy, but hey,
guess what?
You didn't know if I was goingto be a boy or a girl.
I think they were hoping that Iwas going to be a boy, but hey,
guess what?
You didn't get that, you got meinstead.
So my mom, in all her cuteness,was, instead of finding a new
(01:36):
name, she was just going tochange the pronunciation of
Nehemiah which, by the way, is aprophet in the Bible to Nehemia
.
I'm sorry for laughing, but justhearing that name, nahimya it
sounds uh um a little bitcomical the way you're saying
it's not a funny name becauseI'm sure very dramatic I'm sure
(01:57):
there's someone out there namedright but it's not what that
emphasis let me let me say itlike in a sweet way, okay
nahimia very much so uh rightnahimia much better, much better
, thank you but in my mind I waslike you were gonna name me
nahimia, um, so I always knew itto mean like knee high right.
(02:20):
Well, guess what, cory, thisprophet actually was inclined to
build?
Yes, then the builder, and heorganized like men and and women
and rebuilt cities now, youdidn't always know that right I
just found this out during theweek.
oh okay, so I thought, eventhough mom didn't give me that
(02:43):
name, because my dad thankfullystepped in with Genevieve, but
it still stuck, isn't thatinteresting Very interesting Jen
the.
Builder and I told my mom thisover the weekend.
She just giggled.
She thought it was so cute.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So you are who you're supposed to be anyway, that's
right.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Okay, pretty cool, right.
Anyways, how's your week been,corey?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Week end was phenomenal.
I could go on and on and on,but I won't.
It's just lots of fun.
We did visit the land of Disneywith a friend Shout out to our
friend and we just had a blast.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It was very comical with some of the antics going on
From the beginning In the.
Where you park matters, by theway, please.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's all I'm going to say Please remember this
Don't park in places that younever parked before.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, she said she had when you've never parked
before.
Well, let's just say it likethis If it's not broke, there's
no need to fix it, absolutelylike if it works.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
There's no need to try to go anywhere else but she
provided some very good qualitybonding time and it was lots of
fun yes, it was actually.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's how we started our memorial day weekend.
Well, we hope you all had agood one and we are inspired.
And, cory, you um pretty muchproduced this show, or at least
what the topic's going to beabout you want to share.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I did and I will, and we're going to be talking about
inspiration and not just anynormal inspiration, and I'll
kick this off with a very uh,direct question to jen only
because there's different partsof inspiration that I feel we
don't tap into on a regularbasis.
So if you're ready to dive in,I'm so ready, jen I.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I believe I'm ready.
Let's do it let's see.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So I believe I know my wife very, very well and I
also believe that I understandher.
See, knowing someone andunderstanding them is two
completely and totally differentthings.
With my understanding of Jen, Iknow when she's getting dressed
for her day going to work,there are things that she does
intentionally.
(04:59):
And when these things arehappening, when they're in the
motions of being done, I'msaying to myself, oh, this is
the kind of day she's planningon having, oh, she's going to
try to do this today, and so I'mgoing to let her explain after
I ask this question.
(05:20):
But with the intentionalitythat she uses, I notice when the
inspiration is kicked up to thenext notch.
And so, jen, first questionabout your inspiration on a
daily basis.
When you're getting dressed andyou're going through your
makeup routine and you'reputting yourself together, can
(05:40):
you explain how even the veryparts of putting on makeup
inspire you to be who you are ona daily basis?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, so because I'm going to do their makeup
(06:15):
hairstyles.
You know I'm very drawn to thatkind of stuff.
I'm a girl's girl, and so whenit's been done, well, well, the
inspiration is what sparked it,right?
right so that's how I think ofinspiration, and I can name some
people who are influencers oractresses or singers, or even
(06:36):
people in my life.
So that's the inspo.
Now, what keeps me doing itevery day is the motivation.
It keeps, keeps pushing me.
So, um, corey, you help me withthat.
Like my music number one, andif I want to really get into it,
I play a song that was writtenjust for me, and I mean, how
(06:59):
many people can say that theyhad a song written just for them
?
So Corey wrote me a song calledit's All Right, right, yes, and
I'm all.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
that's what it's called, right?
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And so that's very motivating.
I have a special vanity set.
It's Hello Kitty.
It lights up.
I have all my makeup lined upand I just feel like it's a
great way to start my day.
So the inspiration for me waslike big picture, and then the
(07:32):
motivation is what keeps medoing it every day nice, nice.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I started there on purpose, because that's
typically the beginning of yourday, that's what's getting you
out of the room, out of thehouse, into the car or into the
office and then moving youforward.
And so, if you have a very lowenergy start to your day,
(07:57):
inspiration is going to be at aminimal.
That's right.
Tell me about that bigdifference that happens when you
have a minimal amount ofinspiration opposed to the right
music, the right clothes, theright makeup, the right mood,
everything being in its right,proper space so I think that's
(08:19):
the setup to keep me encouraged,right?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
so let's talk about like, because, for me, like what
lights me up?
Yeah, to do the thing.
Well, I'll tell you what is thebest inspiration, even before
the makeup and all that, it'swhen we're moving.
So if you and I get a goodbrisk, walk in and I have my
(08:43):
quiet time and I've fed my heart, my spirit, like it's, it's
over, like that kind ofinspiration, just kind of
carries.
So not only does it light me upand lift me up, it carries me
through.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, absolutely yeah, but I just want to hear what the
difference or the opposite.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, got you, got you.
So, man, the opposite is, to behonest, like I really feel like
I just want to call off today,Right, if we're going to be real
, yeah, like I don't even wantto do this.
I'd rather stay in bed or I'lljust work from home.
You know what gosh I wish thiswas a work from home day, so
(09:29):
it's that kind of way.
I actually am more inclined toface my day and I'm like bring
it on whatever comes my way,whereas the other, without that
inspiration and that push whichmotivates me, then I get
complacent, you know, and justkind of lazy actually, I feel.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Right, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
What about you?
What gets you going?
What keeps you inspired to doall the things that you do?
And let me explain this in casesomeone is listening for the
first time.
So Corey is my husband, if youdidn't already figure that out.
And not only does this man holda nine to five, it's the way,
(10:11):
corey, I feel, the way you holdit.
Like I see the way you provideservice to people and how you
build relationships.
On top of that, you're anactive author, like a book every
three to four months, and Ithink it'd be more if you were
able to do all the things byyourself.
(10:32):
But because we have a team, wewait on each other, right, and
then you play music.
You write music, you take careof home.
You're my confidant.
You're like my best friend.
You're a father.
You're my confidant.
You're like my best friend.
You're a father, you're a son.
I mean, you're a businessmanand we're looking at new
(10:56):
businesses.
So this is you every day, everyday, and it doesn't stop what
does the?
inspiration.
Look like for someone like you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I think you just said it.
That's all just soinspirational.
And not only that, I wanted it.
So I built myself in a way towhere and when I say that guys,
I don't mean literally like I, I, this is all me, I, I, I.
What I mean, is I prepared forthe task that that I'm dealing
(11:33):
with?
And I wanted to deal with them.
I, I didn't say no to any ofthem.
I didn't say I don't think Ican.
I said I want it, put me incoach.
And we've had this conversation.
It's my time, it's my turn.
I'm ready for this.
I like to say that we werepretty successful raising three
(11:54):
children into adulthood.
They're out there doing theirown thing right now, and so
whatever happens from this pointis a result of what Jen and I
have poured into them.
As far as all the other stuff,you only get one life and you
got to make the best of it.
(12:14):
And life doesn't listen to yourexcuses.
I don't care what you tell it.
It does not pay attention towhat excuse you've come up with,
why you didn't accomplishsomething, why you didn't do
something.
And it's so important to me toleave a legacy, and a lot of
people think money or a house ora car, but um, I don't know
(12:37):
what, what um car edison wasdriving or what house he owned,
but I do know that he figuredout the light bulb thing and
that's a pretty big legacy.
I also know that his family isbenefiting from the things he
left.
That name carries some weight,and those are the kind of things
(12:58):
that I look to do.
When I talk about changing theworld, people look at me like
I'm crazy, but I really meanthat I plan on changing this
world If it's nothing but oneperson or one system or one
thing that I think is not beingrun properly.
And that's my inspirationmorning, noon and night.
I know I just went on, butthat's, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
That's good stuff.
So, man, what amazing sourcesfor inspiration.
Some of the things, too, thatare inspiring that I especially
love is when it comesunexpectedly.
Yeah, like you and I might begoing to a program and we think,
oh, this is going to be so cute, and then there's that one kid
(13:40):
that just blows your mind, right, right, and then it's just like
this is lighting me up and itmakes you want to do more.
It's like, yes, and what I loveabout inspiration is that
you're not looking for it and itjust visits you, and I know a
lot of people find this in books, maybe even like walking in
(14:02):
nature.
You know, that's very inspiring.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Another thing that surprises me with inspiration is
when it comes from a source ofpain, like you know, or grief,
or loss, and then that becomesyour purpose absolutely, and so,
jen, you did me a solid rightnow, you gave me a proper intro
to what I do, and and so itsounds like I you, you know
(14:27):
really have some big thingshappening going on, which which
they are, but I deduced you tomakeup.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
You sure did, and I'm like that's all right, this is
a part of me, that's a fun partof me, and that's just not fair
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
So I definitely want to give you your just do as well
, because you're you're abusiness woman, an author,
active author, and that's keybecause there are lots of
authors who have decided to hangit up.
Whether it be one book, twobooks or a million books, you
know, the active act of writingis key.
When you're calling yourself anauthor and you've inspired
(15:04):
others to write, that's where Iwant to go.
You've inspired others to write.
That's where I want to go.
How do you feel about beinginspiration as someone else in
your field?
Uh, I know you're not an activenurse, but you are a nurse and
you keep your credentials active.
Um, you're a coach and amanager and you help lead teams
(15:24):
of people on a regular.
So how does it feel to besomeone's inspiration?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's incredible that you're asking me this on the
podcast and I'm having to answerthis in here.
I'm going to give you somecontext, okay.
Sure, so a couple of weeks Ihad asked my boss hey, do you
have any feedback for me?
So a couple of weeks I hadasked my boss hey, you know, do
you have any feedback for me?
And he knows that I'm at thispivotal part of my life, my
career.
(15:52):
And he said this just so direct.
He said I know you'd like tothink that people know what you
do because your work is so great, know what you do because your
work is so great.
And he's all I'm going tochallenge and stretch you to be
comfortable and confident intalking about the work that you
(16:13):
do and plugging into the rightpeople and sharing what you do
and who you are, instead ofhoping that other people who've
benefited from your work will dothat on your behalf, because a
lot of people just aren't builtthat way.
And so here we are and you'reasking me right.
So, um, how it feels is first,I'm very humbled by it, but how
(16:37):
it feels is like I light myselfup because I get to do the
things that I love and it'sserving a purpose and it speaks
to people and so, like, whenpeople call me for mentorship or
call me for advice, it's stillto this day and I hope I never
(16:59):
lose it.
I really hope I never do.
It still blows my mind that,wow, this, this is that moment,
right.
Or when I'm invited to speak atconferences or women's groups
and things like that, and it's arepeat invitation.
(17:19):
So it means like, okay, thefirst time went well, oh snap,
I'm getting a second one.
You know, and those are thehappy moments and it's and I
have I always say this.
I feel like I have to preamble,like, oh, I'm not trying to be
full of myself and I really needto let that go, because it's
okay to say what you do and it'sokay to say I was inspired
(17:42):
enough.
So something pulled me in andlit me up so tough that I
actually had the motivation.
Because this is how I see itInspiration pulls you in and
then motivation pushes you to dothe thing.
I think motivation is thereaction to the inspiration.
Inspire someone and that justblows my mind, even if only one
(18:11):
person, if that's what what'shappened and they become
motivated enough to pushthemselves to talk to me or push
themselves to do the thing.
Nothing, um, I don't want tosay nothing, but that is one of
the biggest things that bringsme joy.
And it's not a matter of myself, it's just that seeing people
(18:32):
whether it was me or someoneelse that inspired them to get
the motivation and the push todo something is is pretty
awesome I.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I love it.
That was a lot of good, solidinformation.
I'm just going to pick onething that was simple for me to
really decide how I want to takethis and chew on it and digest
it.
You said your boss told you toplug in, and when I think about
(19:06):
plugging in, I think abouteither receiving some energy or
giving some energy Because itcan go both ways.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's so brilliant.
You set me on fire immediately,so that's my biggest takeaway.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Wow, so you're an energy giver.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah.
And a taker yeah yes becausesome things are plugging in to
get energy and some things areplugging in to give energy.
And so which one are you goingto be today?
Because you could be either orit's not.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Like one is bad or both yeah so you asked me which
one am I going to be?
Well, I'll tell you what.
Let's just take this podcast,for instance.
I'm going to ask you how wouldyou relate the plugging in and
take the elevator Like, what hasthat done for you?
Oh, man.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
So now I see what you were faced with, because this
is actually energy giving to me.
Yeah, energy giving to me?
Yeah, and I I honestly feellike I'm I'm ready to put out,
because the energy I have isjust generating more and more
power, and I hope someone isreceiving something, and here's
the key I don't care if it'severybody, because I know I'm
(20:20):
not going to say somethingthat's going to affect every
single person I'm talking toyeah.
I know that sometimes only oneperson is going to respond or
say, wow, that was for me andI'm good with that, and then
other times multiple people willprobably say, hey, you know
what that was for me.
But regardless, I think at thismoment, me being able to talk
(20:44):
to people and just put theinformation out there is giving
me what I need and again, I hopeit's returning the favor.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm going to say it is because of the feedback we've
received and I agree with you,corey, it's essential in our
lives.
I feel this podcast and it's sofunny guys, because I looked up
like longest running podcastsor most episodes and I gotta
look it up again, but therearen't a lot of podcasts that
(21:15):
I've found that into their 361stepisode, right this is true.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
There are a few, quite a few, but the thing about
it is that we weren't famous.
We weren't yeah that's so true,had a name right and then the
podcast was a result of it rightwhich is typically how it
happens absolutely we're nonames, you know doing the
podcast and just enjoying theprocess and then growing, yeah,
(21:45):
as we go and that was importantfor us, because we wanted to
start with zero recognition,zero notoriety, and then begin
something with just talking tothe everyday, average people
that would want to, you know, beable to build themselves up and
take away some good points thatwe were talking about so I you
(22:12):
know, I I think we gave a shoutout, but I think we need to do
the noble thing and really spellthis out.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Cory, I had been on instagram and we have an author
friend, annette, and she wasposting on instagram that she
was going to have a.
What is it called?
And when they're at the library?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
oh, yeah, and they highlight the.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Author book signing and yeah answer question yeah,
and so I'm like, absolutely,because we we love to support
people in their endeavors andespecially when their work is
you good work, and she's such asolid person for the Hispanic
community and female writers,you know, of course so we go and
(22:56):
I'm just anticipating a chillday and enjoying, and you know,
light conversation.
That was an unexpectedinspiration because she said so
many things that I'm like I dothe same thing and I always
thought like something's wrongwith me, like why do I not
produce the thing until the verylast minute?
(23:18):
And so, hearing her story andall the times that she tried and
tried again, tried and triedagain, and then she talked about
her support in her communitythat was unexpected inspiration.
And you know that kind of way,when you're just in the presence
of someone like that and youfeel like I can do this, I feel
(23:41):
seen and heard, I know whatshe's talking about, and look at
her now and she's just so calmand quiet about hers, isn't she?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The thing that was most inspiring about her for me
is that this woman is not one ofthose that have to have the
attention not has to be in thespotlight, and I get it.
When you're an author and you'rebeing spotlighted, you have to
take that step in that, in thatarea.
(24:12):
However, that's not.
She's not attention seeking,she's just being sought after
because of her gift and ability.
Yeah, and I definitelyunderstood more, just from a
woman's point of view, when Iheard her and because I never
thought you were strange orweird.
I just was like thank you, whyis she waiting so long?
(24:35):
Just get it done.
Because I'm a, I'm a, you know,six months to a year, right,
everything, because I'm justeverything.
But that's just not everybody.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Everybody doesn't work on the under those yeah,
you know circumstances so let meexplain a little more, a little
more, a little more.
In my world, the I'm gonna say90 of the creation happens in my
head and I'm always in it andit doesn't come out until it's
time.
And when it does come out,that's why I'm able to work so
(25:08):
fast.
And people are like how in theworld?
Well, I've been living in itall this time, you know that
kind of way.
So that was very inspiring tohear, because she's written so
much and then she gets re-uppedfor another contract, for a few
more books, you know, and that'sintense because you're getting
(25:29):
contracted for books and youhave to write them by a certain
time.
But the thing is, is the duedates actually work for her?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
yeah so and the competition is not other writers
, it's herself, right she?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
actually said that world is very um non-competitive
right, because they're justcheering each other on.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's room for everybody and I'm not used to
that, so I'm.
But I'm good with competingwith myself because I'm always
trying.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Oh, my god, you got to tell the story you told me
earlier about how.
So here's the thing inspiration, another thing I'm going to say
.
I think it really happensthroughout different moments in
your life and then when you getmature or older, it comes
together and you're like that'swhy I was the way I am, because
(26:20):
it was for this moment or thoseare the things that interested
me then for you writing and justcreating.
But you told me the cuteststory about being in competition
with yourself.
I hope it translates well onthis, because I'm putting you on
the spot to share it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So I was telling Jen, you know she had just visited a
friend that had a young childand she was talking about the
temperament of this child and Ijust have always felt like if we
had a child together, thischild would have been extremely
hyperactive.
Because I remember myself as akid and the story that I opted
(26:58):
to tell her was the level ofhyperness was insane.
Like I, all I did was run andjump and run faster and uh, and
I told her about this time in mylife, coming from elementary
school, I lived about two milesaway from the school and I'm
literally running as fast as Ihumanly possibly could and
(27:22):
busting through the door andlike I'm trying to shave off
seconds and not for competitionAgainst yourself yeah.
I just want to beat threeminutes.
I think it was like fiveminutes and 14 seconds and I was
trying to get to 10 seconds andI bust through the door mom,
what's my time, what's my time?
And she's like calm down, andI'm like you gotta tell me.
(27:45):
So I was just explaining.
What was inspirational to mewas just being better, getting
better, getting faster, you knowso yeah, and here you are today
, still the same still the same.
I don't run like that, no more,that's no in other things.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
yeah, could you imagine?
Oh, no, I love that story andso I I wonder what other
components of your life make youfeel like, oh, that and this
and in addition to this, andhere I am today, and so, people
(28:22):
who are listening, it's fun togo back in time and think about
who you were and who you stillare.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I think that's why, Corey, you and I really hold a
piece of us to be very playfuland childlike.
Thus, everyone, I have aconfession I have not shared
this with you all I hope you'renot about to say what I think
you're about to say but I thinkyou're gonna say it anyway, go
ahead I don't know if you know.
So, um, cory and I, for downtime, we have enjoyed disneyland in
(28:55):
the last year or so.
Right, we got magic keys.
Man, it was great, and wefigured how many trips we need
to take for it to pay off.
Let me tell you, we tripled theamount of trips.
Okay, we sure did.
And I said you know, corey,it's time for us to grow up a
little bit and do some otherthings.
And, um, we're not going torenew our magic keys.
(29:18):
Sorry, that's just not, youknow, just not going to do it.
And so you went along with itAt first.
At first, and as we're gettingcloser, I went with some friends
, had a great time.
Then, corey and I went withsome other friends, had a great
time.
Then cory and I went with someother friends, had a great time.
(29:40):
And the thing is is, if youdon't renew your magic keys, you
might not get them becausethere wasn't a release for magic
keys.
Right, it's all a gamble.
And so guess what we did?
We not only renewed them, weupgraded our Magic Keys.
So we don't have to pay forparking when we go, it's a
(30:01):
bigger discount when we shop.
It's like, oh my gosh, we'vedone it again.
We've done it again and in amost major way.
But I think that's inspirationtoo for us.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Is being able to play , because there is a lot of work
and it's fun work.
But what I'm excited about isthe motivation that we have to
do it and then seeing howeverything is coming together
and just knowing that there's somuch more and I think it's more
than we could ever imagine andthat in itself is inspiring.
(30:34):
The unknown, see, and that'swhat I love about this journey
the things that scare youactually become the things that
motivate you.
The unknown, that's somethingthat people aren't comfortable
with, and I'm not totallycomfortable with it, but once
you've seen and done all thesethings so many times and you've
(30:55):
seen how the unknown's not sobad actually, it's actually
better than I thought it wasgoing to be Most of the unknown.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
There are some unknowns that I've encountered.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Like oh.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I don't know if I wanted to do this.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah for sure, and that's why I don't think there's
absolutes and everything.
But if I had to speak majority,I'd go with the majority of
that.
I um, most of what I'veexperienced that's unknown has
been pretty um giving.
Yeah.
