Hi, my name is Isabella Johnston and I am the host of The Intern Whisperer Podcast
brought to you by Employers 4 Change.
Today's guests...
I'm really excitedto have these ladies back.
They’re- they won the most popular episodefrom 2023 for the most audio downloads
and most YouTube views.

(00:21):
Typicallythat has never happened in four years.
And you guys reigned.
You ruled, you did all of those verbs that you can think of
that shows you are one of the champions.
I told all my brides,I told all of my friends. Yeah.
I just- I went, can you go watch this?
Like, here's the link.
It was around Christmas time too.
It was. So I was like, yeah. We rallied.

(00:43):
Just so you know, anybodythat has the number- first-
the first, second or third place,their show's trend for four years.
Oh, nice. Yeah.
So the one when I first started itfour years ago,
their shows still have the most downloadsevery year.
Every year.Really?
There's going to beother shows that have it.
But when I put it as an accumulative...Yeah. There are like over

(01:07):
3,000 downloads on audio
and they- on views,I mean, views is beginning to catch up
because we switched to a real formatinstead of the...
Oh yeah. Yeah.
And it's like...That’s a big help too. Absolutely.
Yeah. So it's crazy.
But anyway,so I have to introduce you guys.
So I want to welcome back tothe show is Michelle Sanabria

(01:29):
the founder and owner of...SMS Events.
Thank you very much.
The ladies in pink, and Caleigh Hoyne.Hello, Operations Manager
of SMS Events.Yes. And they are so much fun.
You guys are going to love them like crazy.Okay.
So we're going to kick this show offand we're going to talk about, this time,

(01:50):
five words that describe you.
So, Michelle you get to go first.
You want me to give you the words?Quirky. Go. Oh, well I don't need to say much
because I'm just a big weirdo.
Yeah.But the weirder the better. I actually just had
these taxi shoes that I got.
I just posted them on our SMS,and it was- literally,

(02:11):
it's a little taxi.
It has wheels on the side and they’re shoes,so I thought it was so clever.
Yeah.
Is it like Asian little- little kids wear them?Where it looks like Asian shoes?
They’re full size 8 women.
So they're like...They’re real women’s shoes.
But it's ironic because I am my own taxi.
Yeah, you are. Yeah.
So funny. So funny.

(02:32):
Well, I think what's quirkyalso is just in the,
I don't know, the 15 minutesthat we spent together.
I know that the phone is a she.
The nail is a she. Oh,
there's a lot of things that are she’s.
We are very- Very feminine.
We call things as they are.
Yeah, she is doing fine.

(02:54):
Okay, well, we're personifying a lot of thingsthat are not normally human.
This is so funny.
So funny.I always laugh so much with you guys.
So I want to tell you, thank you for that.Okay.
Next one. Ambitious.
Yes, I am constantlylooking for the next thing.
So once I achieve a goal
or kind of get close to one,I'm already like, okay, great.

(03:17):
What's like- how can we improve on that?
How can we keep getting better? Growing,
evolving.
Yes, yes, that drives into Competitive.
But that wasn’t of the five words.
But we're going to just mesh those two together.
Yes. Yeah.
Dynamic. Why dynamic?
I...I mean this is just a self-portrayal.

(03:39):
But, I do feel like I am dynamic,like I- whether I'm delusional,
but I do think that I can masteralmost anything that I put my mind to.
It's a matter of if I want to or not,but I feel like I can handle different
things.
Yeah.
Dynamic.
We'll have to look that word upas a defined word too.

(04:01):
Okay. Charismatic. Yes, you are.
You are the definition.
It'll say, charismatic. It will say, Michelle.
Yeah. Yeah, you are that. Yeah.
And if you don't know what charismatic is,just meet Michelle.
Oh yeah. Very friendly. Very,vibratious.
Yeah.
Very outgoing.
Okay. Systematic.Why? Why systematic?
Systematic.
I naturally systemize whatever I'm doing.

(04:25):
So if I'm doing somethingfor the first time, that first time,
I will come up with a processto either make it faster,
better, more efficient, more valuable.
And it's something I do innately.
So whether it's working an event in a placewe've never been to, instantly
I will have the lessonslearned with a process for the next time.
So I hope I used the word correctly.

(04:47):
I think so. But yeah, anything.I mean, I would have been a great
person-
you know, the line- the peoplethat do...
The queue’s.
mass produce- production.
Yeah. Oh, I would have thrived. Yeah.
And I'm also thinking the Disney queue lines where- Yes.
You gotta stay inside the lines. Stay inside the lines.
I would have been the personthat made the-
Oh, Chick-fil-A, they should have met me.

(05:08):
But- so I innately think in that.That's a really good skill set to have,
though, to be honest,especially in events,
because you really have to have checksand balances systems in place
so that, you know...you don't want to haveunhappy guests, right?
Right. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
So let's go over here to you, Caleigh. Okay.
You said Versatile.

(05:29):
I can do whatever you want me to.
So whether like,especially like on wedding day, like,
if that means that I have to go behindthe bar and grab a drink
and make a specialty cocktailbecause the groom wants one right now.
I'll make it happen.I'm not a very good bartender,
but it might be a little strong,but I'll do it.
Same thing.
Like if I need to cut a cake,I’ll cut a cake. I’m not a caterer.
But I'll do it.
So really,I can just be thrown into, like, whatever.

(05:51):
I'm not- I don't really ask questions.I'm just like, oh, I got you.
I'll do it. Yeah, that's very good. Yeah.
Because it's really hard to find peoplethat are willing to jump into a role
where they go, nope, I've never done that.I don't want to do it.
You know, you're willing to do it.
That says a lot. Absolutely. Yeah. Hard-working.
Oh boy.
My boyfriend would begto differ that I am too hard-working

(06:12):
because
I am just- I'm super dedicated to working.
So like, I am one of those people that I,
I live to work,which is not a great mindset.
It sounds bad, but like, I love what I do.
Like I don't look at things as like,oh, I have to do this.
Like, sure, there are some things in my tasklist that I- that are those.
But for the majority, like, we get to,you know, work in the office together.

(06:34):
We have a great office dynamic.
Being able to come up with processes,being able to come up with strategies,
you know, making a business better, likeno one at my age is doing stuff like this.
And I think I take that very...like, witha grain of salt, cause I'm like, holy moly.
Like, this is- no one else is doing this.
And I feel very grateful for that.
Oh, yeah.
I- I would get that for sure.
Because when you get to be the one

(06:55):
that's setting the trends or be out theremaking a difference in the world,
then you leave- you leave the place,you go home, you sleep really well.
You guys have so much fun together.
I sit here and go, man.
I've got to come downand just spend a day with them. Because I-
I am very much like you guys too.
I'm very systematic also.
And love processes.

(07:15):
So I never want to hearanybody have a complaint.
They- they should be having the best timeof their life, right?
Absolutely. And you two are exactly that.
Yeah. You balance each other.
Okay. So...Diligent.
Diligent. I just feel like I take a lotof what I do with like, a lot of diligence.
So like I feel like...

(07:37):
I don't know what I meant by this wordnow that I'm thinking of it.
Intentional. Right? Like you’re...
Okay. That'swhat I'm thinking.
You’re not doing things for fun.
Like, you have purpose.
Okay. There we go.
So, I just- I'm very like,there's never been anything in my life
that I have just done just because, like,I'm sure at some point, like,
you know, for fun.
But when it's come to like my goals and,like, goal setting, I've been- everything
that I've ever wanted to do,I have completed.

(07:58):
And I feel very prideful in that.
And I remind my parents of that.
I’m like, guys, you have such a great daughter.
Because they always like to give me,you know, grief and stuff like that.
But I'm like, honestly, like,I knew I wanted to go to UCF, I did that.
I, you know, graduated with my bachelor's.
I knew I was going to work in weddings,and I had so many professors
along the way that were like,oh, you need to be more realistic,
like working in the wedding industry,like you're not going to get anywhere.

(08:21):
Or you're like-it's just hard to get into.
And I was like, okay.
And then my first job out of collegewas working at a venue.
So I was like, it wasn't that hard.
And I stuck it out and,you know, made it to Michelle.
And now we've been here
almost four years doing,you know, this with SMS and really making,
I feel, a big difference in this companyand then hopefully world domination.

(08:42):
That's right.
Go for the whole globe.
Absolutely. The universe.
Oh, the universe. Universal domination.
To the moon.
Yes, I love that. Very good.
Elon who? Yeah. Yes.
I should be failing? Yes. Yeah.
Absolutely. Yeah.
Funny.
Well, we've been
laughing a lot, so obviouslywe're getting the funny side, right? Yes.

(09:05):
I feel like I'm like the goofballin the office, and we always, like,
make jokes because Michelle always says,like, the craziest things.
That's her charismatic, quirky side.
I am just the type of person like,I will catch, like-
if you present something to meand you're like, oh, like,
if you like- anything that she says,I just ride with it.
I'm like, oh my God,that's the best idea I've ever heard.
And we will take it until the wheelsfall off.

(09:26):
I also- we always sing songsto each other in the office.
Like we’ll be in the middle of doing tasksand we're just like,
what are you sending this email to?
It's for them and they love it.
We do this, all this-
we do that all the time.
Oh my God,
I love it, I love it,and it's just like not a particular song.
It's just like-It's just as you said.

(09:47):
And the thing is,
anytime I start it or she starts it,we both join in and we just keep on-
Poor Lauren, she's just like, oh God, here theygo again.
Lauren's in the office
like, she just- she'sthe one that just watches and laughs.
She's like, okay, okay guys.Well, you have to have somebody like that.
You have to have a serious person around.
She’s our anchor for sure. Because she's still there.
I mean, she loves it,but she doesn't have to join in.

(10:09):
She ju-
Right. She joins in in a different way.
Yes, absolutely.
Because it would be mass chaosif everybody was doing it.
We literally say this all the time.
Every time that we're like going through,like hiring.
We're like, everyone can't be usbecause we will go balls to the wall.
Yeah. We will be out of control.
All right.
Entertaining. Last word.

(10:30):
Oh man. I feel like, in just in regardsto like, weddings
and like evenjust like in the office environment,
outside of work I am just- I, again,I am just somebody that likes to be
one of those people that brings joyto others in whatever way that I can.
I have a lot of ridiculous
qualities to myself,so I like to exploit those to other people.
And they also like it, so...

(10:51):
You know what? I think you guys...there'sSAK’s, you know, the comedy club.
Oh, that is a- They have a free nightwhere you can go up and be on the stage.
Oh, man.
We've always said we should do improvbecause we would kill it.
We would do so good.And I'll give you another one.
That's just a one-time.
The library, downtown...OrlandoPublic Library.

(11:13):
They have an improv course.
And you can get it.
And then they put you up on the stage.
Oh, done. Yeah.
You did it together.
I think you should justgo up there and do it together.
We should just say, in unison.
It's a- it's a bucket list of mine.
So I'm so glad and gratefulthat you mentioned that.
And it’s free.
I took the improv classand then they didn't put me on stage.

(11:35):
Like what am I going to do, man?The one at SAK’s?
Yeah, yeah, this is a waste of my time.
Yeah.
I need to be able to feel the audience.Be on the stage and do it right.
So yeah, the one with SAK’s is one-timeand you're in a room with everybody.
Yeah. It was so much fun though.
But the one...at the library.
Yeah. They had the stageand then they- they closed the library.

(11:57):
And it's only for the peoplethat actually sign up to go see.
I love that.
It’s also like, a real stage.
I was going to go do it, but if you two do it.Let’s do it together.
Yes. Oh you would be so much fun.
Yes. We’re getting off course,but I love it.
This is great. Okay.
This is why I was going,
yeah, they're coming back. The twins.
I think that would have been...
you know, if I was to pick a word for youguys, I would have said, twins.

(12:20):
I like it.
Oh, we get questions all the time, like,oh, are you sisters?
We're like, no. Are you lovers?
No. This is my work wife.
We justwork together and have for four years.
So you get a little blended. Yeah, you do.
Yeah, you do.
Okay, so let's talk about SMS Events.
Now, it's been a year.
What have been the growth spurtsthat you guys have celebrated?

(12:41):
I know that off the air,
you were telling mesome really cool things.
Five year anniversary. Tell us more.
Yes, so, we celebrated our five yearanniversary on October 19th last year,
which was sup-
I just can't imagine how
time has just warped.
It just like, we blinked and we're here,which it's been a crazy fun ride.

(13:02):
But we celebrated our five yearanniversary on October 19th,
and then soon after we just,I did a little math,
and we actually celebrated our 500th
event in five years.
November 3rd.So it was just a couple weeks later.
But to me, that was like, I was so proud.
Yeah, I was like...what?!
Was this the same month?

(13:23):
It was, well, we were close.
Like the wedding that happened to bethe 500th was November 3rd,
So close. and we celebrated- oh, it counts.
It counts.Yeah. You know what?
It's in the same quarter.
October, November, December.
It all counts.Exactly. Yeah.
So it was just extr- I was so proud.We did a whole five year anniversary.
We celebrated with the couple,like we told them, you’re our 500.

(13:43):
Like, this is so cool.
Did you have confetti cannons and balloonsand all of that?
Well, we're going to talk aboutsome mindfulness practices later,
but we did not do the confetti.
We did get to celebratewith the entire team for the five years,
which was really cool.
We got together like, the entire team,everyone wore their best shades of pink.
Yeah. And we had, like,a really nice dinner together.

(14:05):
And that was honestly really special.
So that was awesome.
Yeah. Well,and it- it really is a more private thing.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because it is a team thing for sure.
Yeah. I mean this is- I- I-
kind oflike, I'm the visionare of the company,
but I cannot do 500 weddings alone.
So it's 10% me.
And then they are really the souland everything...body parts of the company.

(14:28):
And they're part of the wheels on the bus.
Yes, we are taxi shoes.
It’s the line shoes. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, bus, taxi. Yeah.
They're they're transporting people.Yes, they deser-
I mean, they deserve as much creditas the company does because
it's been a lot of work too.
Yeah, it is.
They make it look fun, but it’s a...
We’re exhausted.
Yeah. It is not easy doing that.

(14:49):
Well that's very, very exciting.
So how about...how much did your team grow?
What are the updates there?
So, I believe last yearwe had four newcomer’s that came on board.
And this year we’re having six?
Yeah.

(15:09):
Six, I believe,
that we're onboarding here.
We’re interviewing now, so we’ll see.
Yeah, we have- we have six open positionsthat were onboarding for.
So...some new, you know, lead coordinators,some assistant coordinators
and then some people
that will be helping us on the backend, administrative and social media wise.
So that's going to be super excitingjust to have more help.
And then hopefullythat'll free up a little bit of our time

(15:30):
to just be more visionares and being able to see what's next. Focused.
Exactly. Focused with fun though. Focus- Oh, the most fun.
Have to have that alliterationgoing on there.
I love it.
So, you went to conferences.
What was the takeawayfrom your conferences that you went to?
Oh gosh.
When you- it's a heavy questionbecause when we do go to these conferences

(15:51):
we are just overloaded with ideas.
We are doing great.
But there's always something new. Like-
So, I don't know, what was- The biggest take away for us in our last
conferenceis the social media marketing aspect.
Because of AI? Was itbecause they were bringing that
into the mix of the conversation?

(16:12):
There was a lot of talks on AIand automating some of the proposals,
your invoicing, even your messagingthe people, like automating
a lot of that,automating a lot of your social media.
So a lot of those topics were big
because we're not super into that yet.
And it's a big opportunityfor us to explore, so.

(16:34):
I have a lot of notes on that.
And then prioritizing what are the bestthings for you guys, I'm sure.
Oh it's just- it's always like,it's like, every time
that we go to these conferences,it's like knowledge overload.
So like by the end of the second day,we kind of look at each other and
we're like, we're done.
Like we got to go home and take a nap,and then we usually go like revisit it
like the next week and we're like, oh mygosh. Like these were like the best ideas.

(16:56):
These one’s we can kind of tablefor a little bit.
But it al- it always islike just like so much knowledge
and so many ideasand fun things that we can implement.
Yeah, yeah, I think that makes it-when I go to those kind of events,
I come back and I go, gosh, so muchand I try to just pick
three that I go, okay, there's three,I can implement three.
What are the easiest ones to implementthat will yield a big impact?

(17:18):
So, I guess that's my advice.
Oh that's a great...
We try to do all of them.
You can't. You can't. Even with six new peopleyou still can't. Right.
Yeah.
You gotta...there's got a training curveon those people too.
Okay. Any other updatesthat you want to share with us?
That's a lot of growth.
Five years,which is the- the real turning point.

(17:41):
The test of a business,five years of being in places.
Yes. It's a big deal.
It's one of those. Yeah.
I mean, one of the biggest thingsI think that's happening this fall is
that we're reaching one monthwithin one month's time.
We're doing- that’s the first time we've ever done.. Our max before, like
how many events we did in one month,I think was previously 31? 31.
And then-What a day a month.

(18:03):
Well, this year we spi- spiraled into 43.
So we have 43 in November.
Yeah.
So we're projected to possibly do 47to 50 because of the last minute-
You know, there's last minute bookings.
We've seen a big trend of that recently.
That's our projection.
But on the books there's currently 43,which we've never done.

(18:25):
So we're so excited but terrified.
Healthy. It’s healthy terrified.
Healthy terrification,I like that. Healthy fear is a good fear.
Healthy fear. Yeah, it sounds great.
It means that, you know, it's not there.
It's not going to take you down.
It's just like, just a little trepidationgoing, oh, I'm a little bit scared.

(18:46):
But I'm super excited.
And that excited will take down fear.
I think the team should be scaredbecause once we prove we can do it...
The expectations are higher. Then it’s like, why aren’t we- we do 20...what is wrong with you?
Yeah, yeah. 50! We now know we can do 50and we can do 50 a month.
So that's the buffer. Absolutely. That- I-

(19:06):
Setting our own bar.I didn’t think about that till just now, so...
Well maybe, in all fairness, it kind ofdepends on what's going on in that year.
Because if this is an election year,which I believe it is.
It is. So, November would be a big electionmonth. Yes.
I also heard that next yearis supposed to be like, projected
one of the biggest years for weddings.
I think they said, since before Covid. Why is that?I think that they were saying

(19:27):
because it was just a lot of peoplelike, post-Covid, because right now
we're going into 2025, right?
So a lot of people got engagedduring that time.
But because of the unpredictabilityof like, you know,
booking and stuff like that,everybody pushed out.
And I mean already for our 2025,it's looking full.
So, I think that that is going to ringto be true. We just got one 2027 too, today.

(19:49):
Wow. I’m like, oh a twin day, twenty sev-
Oh, okay.
I don't even know if I can wait that long.
I don’t even know what 2027 is. I know. We were like, how are they so far ahead?
That's crazy. Yeah.
So, yeah I'm going, I don't know,I think I just go get married.
And so that's the party,we'll save for the party.
Exactly.
This destination, it must be somewherelike, I don't know, Iceland or something.

(20:10):
Yeah. Right. Something,something crazy like that.
Okay, well, that sounds likethis has been a year of tremendous
opportunity growthand definitely resilience,
I'll say that for you guys.So congratulations
to you guys.Thank you.
Okay, so we have some fun questions here.
What is a charity or a nonprofitthat you would like to support and why?

(20:32):
And we talked about this a little bit.
So it ties in with your visionary plans.
Me? You?
I don't know, it’s rock paper scissor.I'll go first.
Yeah. Yeah.
So we were, obviously being thatwe are the ladies in pink,
that'skind of becoming like our whole brand.
It's starting to get picked up,like people recognize us.
And if we don't wear pink,they are disappointed.

(20:53):
So, I kind of want to obviously like-
like, kind of harp on thatbecause, you know, breast cancer awareness
is in October. It'sone of our bigger months of the year.
But I do think that it's a great timefor us to really get involved in
as many activities, you know,supporting that cause as possible.
I've mentioned about running a 5K.
The other girls were not too happyabout that.
You know, they can walk a 5K. They can walk.That's what I said.

(21:15):
I was like, ya’ll can walk.It's only three miles.
It's not really five anything.Wussies...so...
So I was mentioninghow we could do like a walk, how we could,
you know, get involvedin some different ways, obviously,
just because the color kind of,you know, resonates with what we do.
But also a couple of usgirls have a lot of,
you know, personal ties to the causeand everything.
So we'd love to get involved in any waywe could this October.

(21:35):
So I'm hoping that's the next one. Okay.
So, I love that. Breast cancer awareness,that was one of the things my mom had too, so.
Breast cancer.
So I'm very supportive of them.
Anything elseyou're going to add to that one?
Well we talked abouta couple different ones,
and we actually just recentlygot a great idea to potentially split
up the year and possiblylook at four. Okay. Four organizations.

(21:59):
I've heard a little bitof the Ronald McDonald House,
and that's something that I really feel
a little bit of connectionto with my history working in health care.
So I think that's somethingthat we'd probably be very interested
in pursuing, as well as...what is the-
I believe it was the...Hair one. That they do free haircuts

(22:20):
and they make people feel beautiful.Think it’s called The Beauty Bus
is what it's called.
One of the local vendorsthat we are friends with,
she actually is one of the peopleon the committee for it.
And they just, you know, they give freehaircuts.
They, you know, kind of...I think that they do make up services,
they do resume building,and then they offer,
you know, clothes to be able to give, you

(22:41):
know, women preparedand ready to go for some interviews, so.
There's also another one.
I just looked it up because I went,I remember this one, Dress for Success.
I don't know if you've heard of that one.
Yeah.
So that one-Beauty Bus sounds fun too.
But Dress for Success has been aroundquite a bit.
They do the same type of a service.
They're there to help,you know, make that person feel amazing.

(23:01):
Give them two suits.
I think it's two pairs of shoes, also.
You know, go through the interviewprocess similar...similar services.
So definitely something that you guyscould get behind.
And I'm sure they're going to be wearingpink, or some version of pink on them.
Oh we love it.
Yeah.
We’re big supporters.I would love to be able to influence,

(23:22):
you know, other women and be ableto support as much as possible.
I feel like that's somethingthat Michelle is very passionate about.
I become very passionate about it,
just being in this industryand stuff like that.
So. Yeah, I like that.
That would be really, really good.
I'll throw one more at you then.
Since we said four, maybe. Oneand a four- one and four quarters.
So, because you're both in hospitality,you might pick a school

(23:44):
that has a hospitality programwhere you could come and potentially
eithermentor them or teach them the skills
of, like, starting their own business,if they are so inclined.
I love that. Yeah.
So I've actually been really thinkingabout, like, legacy building
and like mentoringand even like public speaking.
I used to do that in the past, and- I can, yeah,

(24:06):
I can recommend some things for youtoo on the public speaking.
But then I was kind of thinking,okay, well, what am I going to talk about?
Like, wedding planning? Like, so...but-Seriously though.
Yeah. Yeah,but I would like to empower people
to eithertake a leap, start their own business, or
I am still figuring out my- my niche.

(24:28):
Right.
Or just scaling your business.So you have a business already.
It's doing great-You guys are really smart.
I really feel like,this is why I'm suggesting this,
because you are really smart women,and I feel like you should be able
to put that back into like,that Dress for Success or the Beauty Bus
or, you know, you could takeon that other aspect of like, let's

(24:48):
talk about starting your own businessand whatever it might be, it-
maybe it's event planning,maybe it's something else. Yeah.
I want to belike the Gordon Ramsay of like,
small businesses, like you are small,but you are not small minded.
Let's go. You are powerful.
You are the biggest one.Let's make your business bigger.
You could be like,why are you doing that? Do this instead.
Great job. Great job.Look at you grow a little

(25:12):
farther.
You know what? He's really good with kids though,
remember that. He doesn't come outand call them a donkey.
No no no no.
Like he does on,you know, Hell's Kitchen. Right.
But he does, you know, with kids...he doesthrow a little bit of a temper tantrum.
But, you know, kindly. Yeah, maybe he was the wrong one.
There's this guy that goes into businessesand like, assesses them.

(25:34):
And then is like,oh, these are ways to optimize.
Here's ways to...Yeah, there’s a lot of them. I like that.
So, I've been thinking a lot of wherewe're going next.
Not company related. Yeah.
So maybe in our next podcastwe'll have some news. I think so.
I think so, yeah. I could seeyou guys doing this whole speaking thing also,
because I created like, a speaker pagefor my- for my website too.

(25:56):
And I'm going, well,I'm putting it out there. So.
Right. You have to-
You guys are smart women.
Yes, you are.
It could be like The Pink Duoor something.
I don't know,I've just got like so many ideas here.
I like you guys so much.
All right.
So, favorite children's movie
that you thinkteaches adults a life lesson?

(26:18):
I love that, so I think we agreed on one
that we’ve both seen,but I am terrible with quoting movies.
The actors, I watch itand I don't store it.
Yeah. So I'm going to-Inside Out,
I feel like was one that I really...
I thought was really good,but I didn't see the second one.
I haven't seen the second one.Yeah, I have also not seen the second one.
I've heard great things,
but I feel like in and out or- Inside Outis one of those great ones like, that

(26:41):
kind of, you know, educates not only like,kids, but adults unlike just, you know,
dealing with your emotions, and like, it’s- you know,
emotions are very powerful,you know, feelings.
And I feel like sometimes
people don't know what to do when they'refeeling a lot of things at one time.
And I think that that's comefrom a very big push
from the mental health communityof like just, you know,
bringing exposure to it, you know,really just starting to make it less,

(27:04):
you know, of like,ooh, don't talk about it, you know? Taboo.
Exactly.
So I feel like it's a really goodpush towards both kids
being aware of it because like,you can always-
we can always go back to that movieand be like, oh man.
Like if, you know,
if she went through that, like,I probably- this is Anger, I was Anger.
Yeah.
And identifying your feelingsand being able to assign like, your cute

(27:24):
little characters, it actually- right nowthere's a huge social media trend,
of like,
adults being like, if this like-if this was Inside Out in my head.
And it's like casts of like, other moviesor like TV shows that they've watched and,
you know, it's startingto kind of like, click for people like,
oh, like it's starting to becomelike a little bit more of a phenomenon, so.
Yeah, I agree with that
because I was having this same discussionwith one of my friends,

(27:47):
and he has a daughter who's five,and we were talking about emotions
and I said, you know, it'sokay for you to tell your daughter
that, you know, you-
you're not happy with her,that you're angry
because anger is an emotionand you need to be able to show her
how to display it, you know, appropriately andhow to manage it and all of that.

(28:07):
So, just because she can have her own waydoesn't mean she gets to have her own way.
So...no, and this is why.
And if you keep doing it,there's a consequence. Right.
You know,she needs to have healthy fear. Yeah.
So, I feel like that's the thingthat the movies put out there.
Absolutely.
I feel like, especially for kids too,like there's a lot of stuff
that kids learn from their parentsand obviously parents...

(28:29):
there's no guidebook on how to do thingsperfectly.
And nowadays there's too many.There's too many opinions out there.
So just being able to kind of figure out,like what works best for you
while also making sure you're,you know, doing right by your kid
and stuff like that,I think is super important.
Yeah. I don't think kidsmovies are really for kids.
I think they're really for parents.Yeah. Right? Yeah.
So it's the- like, the takeaways, like,you know, books, you were saying.

(28:50):
But people will go and they'll go,
so- Because you can experiencea movie together. Right.
Instead of reading the book together,you know, you can do the book together.
But, you know, the movie'smore entertaining. For sure. Yeah.
Best takeaway.
Okay. Was there another movie?You mentioned something else, Michelle.
I think we had said Barbie before.
Oh, yeah.
Which-ladies in pink...I went, Barbie. What?

(29:12):
We obviously loved it for those reasons.
But again, just again,just being able to like, you know,
Barbie goes, you know,into an existential crisis, pretty much.
And you know, she'sjust trying to figure out all these things
she's feeling and why she's feeling themand stuff like that.
And she's affected by another humanand what have you.
And it's just a very like,coming of age kind of,
I think, story?With like the perfect amount of nostalgia,

(29:35):
hilarity and like, awareness of like, oh, okay. Kind of a grown up Inside Out?
It's basically a grown up Inside Out,yes. Yeah.
Based on what you're describing-It kind of is. I haven't seen it yet,
and I know everybody went to see it,but I was going, eh,
I'll just waittill it comes to Disney eventually.
Yeah. yeah.I mean, it was honestly a great movie.
We all saw it togetherand, you know, loved it.

(29:56):
So. Michelle didn’t get to go see it.I did.
You did? We rented the movie theater.We rented a movie theater.
We went as a big 30-person teamand dressed up as barbies.
Oh my god.
We don't do anything simple here.
Like, if it's pink we’re there.
We rented the movie theater.
No, no, the pla- the place I-I think I was there.

(30:17):
The place I work out of, OMG Labs.
We did that with the Mario movie.Oh, yeah?
Everybody dressed up in Mario.
I love that.
We rented the whole theater.
Yeah. Nothing but Mario people all in there.
You feel a little ridiculouswalking in
because everyone is like-Oh no. In Mario...
no, everybody is dressed up in Mario movies.
It doesn't matterwhether they were with us or not.

(30:38):
No, they- no, everybody dressed up.
That’s so fun, I love that.It is fun.
Yeah, I agree, if- Next time,I want to go to your movie night.
Yes. Same, both, yeah.Okay, I'll invite you.
Yeah. Oh, I’ll pull up. Mario?
Mario, and Luigi.
Yes. The little mustache. Yes.
So good. -just real quick.
Oh, I did not dress up.

(30:58):
I'm so sorry.Oh. Did you wear a t-shirt? Breaking my heart.
No, I didn't. I didn't have the costume,I just went, I don't know, what-
And then I saw that there was the Princessand I went, well,
if I was going to do anything,it would have been the Princess.
Yeah. Yeah.I would have done that.
And I was sitting next to the woman and
I said, oh, that's an option?
I only knew the Mario guys.
So, I did not realize that

(31:19):
there was a princess,but I would have picked the Princess
if I was going to dress up.She’s got a great one.
Yeah, yeah. Wig and all.I had to admit that on the air.
And I'm really sorry.
I am so sorry I asked, oh dear.
No, it's totally good. Yeah.
I have to live with that shame.
But next movie I will be dressing up.
Yes, yes. I will be dressed up.

(31:40):
As a matter of fact, I may go out and seeif I can find a Barbie t shirt
so I can just kind of privately celebrateBarbie.
There you go. Redeem. Redemption.
I'll find one in pink.
Okay, so what is your signature dishthat you can whip up effortlessly
and people will thinkyou are a culinary whiz?
Me first? Yeah. Okay.

(32:01):
Well, I used to cook oftenand I'm a fast cooker.
It doesn't matter what I'm cooking,I will cook it.
No, you waste my time.
No, no, well cooking is also systemized.
But I like the hodgepodge.
So like a good old Chinese-
Chinese fried ricewith all of the veggies. The egg-
the fried egg, the- the whole thing.

(32:22):
I feel like a Kobe's person.
Yeah,but that's- I can whip that up-
Yes. Anytime.
Yeah. You can come over-
Oh, dear. There's people.
They need food.
Five minutes, I got you. Absolutely.
That is super yummy,though. That is good food.
Okay. What about you?
Oh, I have a signaturedish called Melt in Your Mouth Chicken.
It's not a widely known one,but it is something to get behind

(32:45):
because it is a super healthy meal.
But every time I make it, it is like-people are like, oh my God, like,
do you cook like this?
I'm like, literally no. Nothing else.
I eat butter and breadsometimes for dinner so definitely not,
but literally it's just Greek yogurt,some parmesan cheese, salt, pepper.
You just bake it, or like, you stir itinto like a little paste,

(33:06):
paint it on your chicken,bake the chicken as it is.
And so what do you serve that with?
I usually serve itwith some garlic.
Cauliflower is my favorite.
Or I'll like bake some broccolior some rice, is my favorite.
Have you ever made, because you sound likeyou cook quite a bit, where you cook
the- the vegetable,whether it's cauliflower or broccoli,
and you put it in the oven, but you smash itand then it becomes like a crispy thing?

(33:27):
No, but I'm definitely gonna try this.
I have an air fryer, so...
Yeah.
They go and they...I guess they boil-
boil it, maybe? Yeah.
They do something to get it soft,
and then they squish it on a cookie sheet,and then they bake-
bake it in there.
I've never heard of this one-With like, some parmesan.
That sounds delicious.
That sounds good.
I just want to makea public announcement as well.

(33:47):
We need to eat dinner?
No, I cook for her all the time.
She does, she really does. Like, all the time.
And this is a-
Well, I've heard of thisMelt in Your Mouth, and she's making it
sound so easy.
You've never made me this chicken.I’ve never made-
So, it's happening,like, I'm a little butthurt about it.
I know, that's my only dish,but I've only cooked it up for, like,

(34:08):
Jessica and-I’ll make all the ingredients.
So now I think she'sgoing to make it for lunch for the whole
office. Yeah, I’ll meal prep it.
Come on, let's do it.
Yeah, yeah, it sounds so good.
It’s delicious. That sounds amazing.
I literally cook for herall the time. She does.
She taught me how to boil an egg.
Yeah. We’re working on it, still. You don’t know how to do this?
No. We're still working on it.

(34:30):
I know, this is why I said,it makes me think-
people think I'm like,oh my God, you’re a culinary genius.
And I can't even cook- boil an egg, so...
We're getting there.
You know, they have this little thingthat you can cook an egg with,
but I'm- for real.
No, it's not a pot.
It's actually an egg cooker.
And it comeswith this little plastic thing

(34:50):
that you poke a holein the end of the egg at the bottom.
You put them all in this little container.
It can cook like 12
in this little thing.It looks like an incubator, right?
Kind of. Okay.
I know what you’re talking about. And it- and it has a little...
do you want to have a soft cooked egg,a medium cooked egg or hard boiled?
It doesn't matter.
You fill it up for hard,whether it's two eggs or 12 in there.

(35:10):
Don’t enable her.
She needs to learn.And they’re perfect. They are perfect.
I bought a bag of the hardboiled pre-done eggs last week.
My boyfriend's like, what is wrong with you?
I know, we’re going to teach youthe old- the old ways of cooking.
Oh, cooking. Yes. So being a real cook.We’re going to go take it easy.
We're going to go, eggs and pasta and rice.

(35:33):
Mashed potatoes.
That's hard. I can cook.
The problem is, is that I don't cookefficiently.
I cook, and it's like...one thing will bedone like 30 minutes earlier in the meal.
The last thing is like- Oh, you don't know how to stage it.
No, I've never gotten it right.
Every time my boyfriend eats my food, he'slike...but this is cold.
It's a five course dinner, right?
Literally, it comes in like, little stages.Okay, so here’s the salad.

(35:55):
There you go. And, okay, here’s the vegetables.
I may be systema-
I'm not systematic in my personal life,let alone with cooking.
Yeah.
That's why you're so fast,you would be eating your chicken,
and then you'reprobably become so far after.
So funny. So funny.
Okay, so we're going to take a momentto acknowledge our spons-

So we're backto the second half of the show.
Oh. Yes.

(36:37):
And we get to go into the futurewith these two ladies.
Okay, ladies, are you ready?
So, what do you think 2030 will look like?
I know we talked about this a year ago,but it's almost a year later
since we actually had this meeting.One step closer to 2030.
That is right. Yeah.
It came from a conference-It’s scary.

(37:00):
Actually, the- the sales revenuefor your industry is unbelievable.
You know,I was like, looking and went, holy cow.
So it doesn't look like the remoteor online
industries of doing thingsfor big events, big conferences.
I don't think that's going to...
I don't think it's going to take overon the ground events.

(37:23):
Right. I feel like for
bigger conferences,
multi-day conferences, it'svery expensive to attend.
I mean, you have your flight,your hotel, your meals, your transport,
then the conference itself.It could be thousands of dollars.
So I think that industrymay see a lot more

(37:43):
impactsto maybe attendance or interactions.
I think interactions may see a big jump
with either feeling like you're there,or being able
to engagewith other people. In the wedding industry,
I struggle to kind of see that far ahead.
It's really not that far ahead.
We're literally six years away.

(38:03):
I don't know.
For me,I'm still such a like, in-person person.
And like, even with our events
where somebody is wanting to doa zoom, it's
almost like an inconvenience,like you're in the way.
Yeah.And I know the purpose behind it, but I-
I don't know, that questionalways really like...it requires me to
deep-think about, how is our industryin particular going to see either

(38:27):
major impactsor are they going to see major impacts?
Yeah. Yeah
There's a little eye.It's always hard to tell though
because I think with the wedding industryas a whole, there's- it's full.
It's almost fully fundedby small businesses.
So- and it's very geographically inclinedto like,
where you're at on the map because Orlandoevents are not the same as Miami events.

(38:48):
And those are not the same as,you know, Los Angeles events. No.
So that's a very big difference, too,because I don't think that,
you know, AI’s going to come inand be like, alright wedding
coordinators, like, get out of here,because people still see a need for it.
And I think even more like
in our trade of coordination,people are seeing more value to it.
But, I mean, there is technologies thatare coming in and replacing other things.

(39:10):
Like right now, a huge trend ispeople are not getting a videographer,
they're getting a content creator.
That’s true. So that’s a switch already.
Yeah. It's still a person, but I see that
probably evolving.
Is it just a different name?Because when you
say it's a content creator,I mean they’re still creating video.
They're still creating somethingthat goes out on maybe multiple channels.

(39:32):
Is it a different nameor how is it different content?
It’s pretty different.
The product,the service. There's still a human
there recording.
Right. Videographer. Right?
But the service,or what you are going to get as a product
in return,is very different because it's being
formatted literally just to your phone.

(39:53):
That's all people really care about.
I just need my reels- So I can scroll it right through my phone.
I can just put it rightdirectly- So it's a reel?
They'll literally create your reels.
This is a videographer.
You're really capturing the dayand then providing,
generally speaking,we're not videographers,
so I would love to actually get moreinput from videographers,
but you're getting a eithershort highlight clip, maybe 2 or 3 minutes

(40:14):
or the entire video, like back in the day,you saw- you had your tape
and you watched your entire wedding.
Yeah. All nine hours of itmaybe, I don't know.
Yeah.
With a content creator,you're getting clips.
That's what you're paying for. It’s very curated.And you are getting
a packaged amount of clips.
Some people give you everything
they have. Raw videos. Some people...nope.
You're going to get four reelsand maybe a couple posts for your wedding.

(40:38):
Wow. And then-but they're there the entire duration, so
it is a little bit different.
It has evolved.
we've also seen a little bit of a trendalready in virtual reality
tour sites.
So we are actually working with a company
that is mapping out some of our venuesso that people don't have to come to them.
So they'll put on the VR goggles,

(41:00):
they will tour the entire facilitywithin the little world.
Yeah. We would pop up, hey guys,we're going to be your coordinators,
blah, blah, blah.This is what we're going to do for you.
If they don't want to listento the whole bit, boop. Stop. Next, catering.
Oh, here, we’re your caterers like,blah blah blah.
So it's a really immersive experience.
From your house, you can view 10 or 15,well, if they have it.

(41:22):
But... Yeah. That's somethingthat’s- You're seeing what your choices are.
Yeah. You can watch it15 times. Show it to your mom.
Like, there's- that's a big thingbecause you're reducing time.
You can't view that many venues beforeone of them is like, okay, I'm done.
Just pick it.
So I think that'ssomething that we've seen- that’s today.

(41:43):
Imagine in 2030 how advanced. Right nowit's still- and you've done VR.
I mean it's still- it's great.
It's come a long way,but it's still got some quirks.
You run into the wall or there'sno more landscape.
Yeah.
Imagine 2030, how that will evolve into...
You're a holograph. Right.

(42:03):
Like, yeah, it's like the craziest things you can think of. Maybe we’re not even in-
we're actually live in there. Right?
Hello. Yeah.
So. That'sone of the things that, you know, at OMG Labs,
we have people that do AR, VR holograms.
They're doing all of these things.
Holograms inside of 3D built modelsso that you can always

(42:24):
remember that day that you got marriedor the- see your pet that died, whatever.
It's like,always have that memory with you.
So, you know, we talk about thisa lot. Pretty much every day
down there at the office.
So it's interesting to hear how-what you guys have been experiencing
in that industryand how it is coming to life in there.

(42:46):
Yeah, significant.
That's very, very interesting.
So, some of the other researchthat came up was about
having diverse voicesas keynote speakers at your conferences.
Did you experience that?
Definitely.
I know you had acouple meaningful experiences at our last
summit with some of the speakers.

(43:08):
Yeah, we had a couple of like,I know that we had a lawyer come out and,
you know, being that we're weddingcoordinators, we’re like, what is that?
What is a lawyer going to tell us?
And she went all through,you know, like business law, being able
to protect yourself as a service basedbusiness, you know, from getting, you
know, deposits being taken back from youbecause you used the wrong verbiage.
So like something like that, that was,

(43:30):
you know, when she got up there,I was like,
I don't know howthis is going to impact us.
And then we had a full page of notesafter like, oh okay.
It's a big- it's a big impact.
And just being able to hearlike, those different,
you know, industries, being ableto give some insight into what we do.
You kind of, you know,keep yourself a little bit isolated,
I would say, being in the day-to-day of things

(43:51):
so like when you finally get to hearfrom other people
and, you know, hear what they are doingor hearing how they can improve, you know,
with what you're doing,whether it's their services,
their offering,
or just giving insight into, you're like,oh man, we have more work to do.
Yeah.
There was another one too,
the name is gone and so is her industry,but it was nothing related to us.
But she was in a different state.

(44:12):
So just hearing her talk about some of the-some of the things that she encounters
in a different state altogether, we’re like,wow, we've never thought about an impact
other than our littlebubble that we're in.
Right.
Yeah.
So it's- it's interestingyour initial reaction to like, oh,
that's not going to pertain to me,but then having that pleasant like, okay,

(44:33):
I can learn from every speaker,every situation, every- every opportunity.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's really good that you guys wereopen to that because that's significant.
I know when I look at the list
of all of the speaking opportunities,the speakers that are there, I go,
there's just so muchI don't even know what to pick.
So yeah, the one that youyou know, it's already swamped.

(44:55):
You can't get into the one you wantand you go to a different one.
You go, that was so valuable.Yeah, absolutely.
Even talking about ithere brings that awareness back
because the summit that we attendevery year is close.
Like it's in August.
So even talking about this hereI'm thinking, strategy, like... Right.
For us to intentionally picksomeone that's

(45:15):
not in our immediate realmof what we do day-to-day,
just to be able to havea different perspective, different topic.
And then usually we split up.
So we'll make sure to not do the same onesso that we have double the-
you know, sometimes you see like,oh man, I wish they’re at the same time.
So, that's the benefit. We can- we-you need a buddy.
Yeah. I'm excited for the Vegas-for the wedding NBA that we're going to go

(45:38):
to this year in Vegasbecause there is so many speakers there.
We just did the questionnaireand there was like,
I can't even tell you,maybe like 30 different breakout sessions
that they were asking us our opinionon what we wanted to like, attend.
I was like, dang, guys, I'm notgoing to see ya’ll the whole time we’re there.
I'm going to give you guys a stretch goalhere.
This is my stretch goal for you.

(45:59):
I want you to think about being speakersat next year's conference
and going in there together,because I've been speaking at conferences
that are in the HR space,
and it changes the perspectivetotally when you're a speaker at it.
It also raises so much visibilityfor your company, you cannot believe it.
Yeah, it's my goal.
It's on the-It’s on your list.

(46:20):
Yeah, I definitely want to either pursue
a little bit more public speakingor we can start small.
We don’t have to go big. Yes,we have some small goals this year,
like maybe just going to speakto like a class or something there.
You know,we can...maybe give us a test trial.
Yeah.
Are you a little nervous about maybespeaking to your peers?

(46:41):
Is that what you're thinking?
I personally have no fear. So it's not me.
I know she's here.
I am always, like,terrified of the idea of it.
And then I get up there,and it’s great. And she’s great.
Yeah. But it’s that initial,like, getting on the roller coaster, it’s like...
but then I'm up there and I'm like,oh, it’s done?
I would like to speak forever, right.Yeah.

(47:02):
I think that what you guys could dopretty easily, about how to bring joy
into your everyday interactionsin your workplace.
Oh, yeah, that’s a good one.Because, like, it's a stressful job.
It's a stressful industry.
But you guys, every time I ever meetyou and I talk with you, I go, God,
they're so happy.They're always just so happy.
Yeah.

(47:23):
From being goofy people.
I think it's your five words. It'sour five words.
Yeah.
You're five words that describeyou are consistent.
And that seems to be what helps you to
maximize what your potential is then.
Yeah.I appreciate you for telling us. Yeah.
I think you would be great speakers,both of you.
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
And you could be playing right off-

(47:44):
it'd be like in front, when I-
Exactly.
So when at PODFEST last yearthey had-
no, this year it was in January of thisyear, they had an improv and so everybody
that was a podcaster went up thereand they were just starting to do it.
And I went, I think I could do this. Yeah.
Oh, you should have done it.
I didn't, but I went to something called-Next year.

(48:04):
Well, I'm- I'm going to apply.
It's going to be at the library first.
But there's this one called Board Teachersbecause I used to be a public classroom
teacher. And I went, man,I'm always told I'm not funny.
But I went- when I talk about my-my teaching stories, they're really funny.
And I went, I could do this.
I could totally do this

(48:25):
and tell teaching stories forever.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah. And I think you guys could dothe same thing.
It'd be like after hours, two pink ladies.We would just need someone on the sideline
to just- maybe like an electric bracelet.
Let's shock them. Back on the- oh,our topic is...next,
because we just go...Right through rabbit holes or where we live.

(48:46):
Yeah. So funny, so incredibly funny.
Okay, going back here. Mindfulness.
Back to the show.
Mindfulness. Okay.
So what is being discussedabout mindfulness and wellness?
They’re the big buzz year's- buzzwords this year,
and anything that we go to. Leading experts agree that brain breaks,

(49:08):
alliteration again,are crucial to rejuvenating the mind
and actually fosteringelevated levels of creativity.
I think that's what happenshere. Honestly.
And I think there's this brain breakthat happens
and it's just-laughter is- is good for the soul.
Absolutely. So are you seeing that as somethingthat's talked about in your industry

(49:29):
for professionals?
But is it also somethingthat's being asked for by your customers?
I feel like as an industry,
one thing that Caleigh mentioneda little earlier-
our immediate industry is veryentrepreneurial.
Yeah.
Small business- entrepreneurial. Yeah.

(49:52):
So, I think that's something that lacks,to be honest, in our industry,
because as a small business owner, a small company,
entrepreneurial-
Entrepreneurial. You don't get that.
You're constantly, you know, you- it's-this is it.
So you're always
working.

(50:14):
So it's something that I think
is important to even consider,even in the office for us.
Like, we literally- we would go forever,like we would not stop.
Just give me another little five hour and...
We have done plenty of nightsthat were like 11 p.m.
because we can just keep going.
And today,it was funny because Lauren's like, guys,
we need to just get out of-we need to get up, right?

(50:35):
And so she got us up.
We did like a five minute yoga session.
We told Alexa,you know, play some yoga music.
And it really did. It got us back to-
It was beautiful.
Is that related to what you were asking?
Yeah, I think so.I think so. I did that too with like- with-
I used to have a couple of my interns,they would come in here
and they would catch different, you know,camera angles and stuff and go, okay.

(50:58):
And we would workbefore the show too, together.
And I said, okay, let's stand up.
Let's do our touch our toes. Yeah. Let’s do some movement.
You know, clear the air,because I think that's super important.
Yeah, yeah.
I think, and like one thing-especially like on event days, I had a
vendor, actually, bring this to my awarenessa couple of months ago
because she had said that her healthwas like getting really bad.

(51:22):
And she had gone to the doctorand they're like, we can't believe that
like, nothing happened to youbecause she would be at events all day.
She's like, what do I do?
I grab a coffee beforeI come, I would drink coffee
and I'd be on my feet for hourssetting up flowers and lifting things
and moving them from place to place,
because some of these pieces are hugeand heavy.
And she was like, and then I would staymaybe throughout the night
if I was, you know, doing something else.

(51:43):
And she's like,you know, if they were doing a toast she's like,
maybe I'd have like a glass of champagneand then she's like, then I would drink soda.
And, you know, she's like,I wasn't drinking water.
I wasn't taking time to eat.
I wasn't taking time to like,
you know, just like,sit down and just breathe for a minute.
And she's like, and my health, like,really, you know, was affected by it.
So she's like, I am a preacher.
Like, I will tell everybodythat they really need to be mindful.

(52:04):
And ever since I met her, I have been likesuper intentional about being like,
okay, I need to make sure I have my waterbottle with me and I bring extra water.
I need to make sure I'm drinking water.
Even my assistants have been like,I'll be like, oh, I need to drink water.
And then they bring me my water bottle.
I'm like, yay, thank you.
So I've kind of been more like intentionalabout it, but it's definitely
something that I feel like is hardbecause when you're in it all the time,

(52:26):
especially on a wedding daywhere like, you know,
everything is on us,like we are running,
you know, the show with makingsure everybody's running in sync with each other
including the couple, parents,the whole entire group of people,
the vendors, the venue.
So, it's a lot of pressure,
and I think it's somethingI want to try to get even better at.
Throughout the time we're going to startinitiating more yoga breaks in the office.

(52:49):
Brain breaks. I like that. Brain breaks.
Brain breaks.
Yeah, it's easy to-
easy to remember that way. Yeah.
All right.
Well, time has been flying for us.
Let's go back to virtual reality.
Anything elsethat we're going to add to this?
Because there's- it'sa virtual tour of a remote location
like you were mentioning, butthere's also an augmented reality product

(53:09):
that is out therethat people are testing out with mirrors
and then also with very-they look like regular sunglasses.
Not necessarily goggles.
Have you seen anything like thatat the events that you've gone to?
So actually, there is like a new- there's
a new photo booth conceptthat's like, it's a mirror.
Yeah. You don't even seewhatever technologie’s inside of it.

(53:32):
All you do is you walk up to the mirror,you pose, it takes your picture, shoots
out like your print out,just like a regular photo booth.
I think it's called like a magic mirror.It's called the Magic Mirror.
So that's one thingwe've seen an increase in.
And then I know that actually before thiswe were talking about something similar.
How like, that in New Yorkthey made that portal
where you could see through to- Berlin.
Well, I don't know, don't quote me.

(53:53):
But it was like, you could-
Other side of the-They made like a little like, portal.
And it was like, inside ofit was a video shooting at another portal
that they put halfway across the world,
and everybody was likelooking at each other through it.
And they were like, hey.It was a really cool concept. So...
So you'd be walking to New York City,you- it's not a mirror.
You'd see the people walking-I’m saying Berlin, but I don't know.

(54:14):
I think it was. They were somewhere.
It was somewhere. Yeah.
So that- that was kind of cool.
But event-related,
I have- I'm familiar with the Magic Mirror.
I haven't seen a lot of the glasses,which I'm very curious
to learn a little bit more.
I know there's the Google glasses, is that not...
Apple. Apple Vision.
Yeah.
And they almost look- they’reso much smaller in comparison to VR.

(54:37):
Yeah, I've seen some of this technologyon things
like Black Mirror, which is not good.
Yeah. Dark, very dark.
But is it?
Or is it just- I think it's actually happeningand it's just the reality.
I mean we can- that's a different podcast.It’s pushing the boundaries.
Yeah. But we do- I seeso- they're just trying to send a message

(54:58):
like, ooh we could talk about that later.
Oh my gosh, yeah.
Yeah.
They put the contacts in and...they’regoing into the next dimension
and then they put it on your- yeah. On your temple? Yeah.
That's how that movie was...
Don't Worry Darling, too. Yeah.
Yeah.
So- I don't know that movie. The girl, she had-

(55:19):
It was something like, where she hadlike something put on her temple,
and then she was transported into, like,a utopic 50s style like way of living.
And everybody in there was like,the girls didn't work.
They stayed home, they cooked.
The men went to work every day.What's it called?
It's called Don't Worry Darling.
It's like a- like a suspenseful thriller.
That was really good. But it's a-1922.

(55:40):
I mean, 2022. Yeah, it came outnot too long.
We actually watchedit together and we were like...
Mind blown.
Yeah, it was really good.
Wow. Okay,I'll go back and look at that later.
But I feel like those things,
they're not- I mean, okay,
that one's pretty far out,but it's not impossible.
Oh, no.
Like that- If you can see it in a movie,

(56:01):
it's already happening. Right.
Because 60 years ago is when they startedplaying around with AR, VR, the web.
Yeah.
Everythingthat we're experiencing...60 years ago.
So if you think what you're watching on TVis not already- it's happened. Right.
It’s happened.
They're just letting us know,oh, it’s out there.
Like you need to accept

(56:22):
it, adapt to it, acknowledge it,
be able to use it, and then it's too lateat that point, you know?
Yeah.Scary stuff.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, that's all good stuff there.
Okay.
