Well, I was really confused when you walked in. Well me too, baby, I'm right there with you. So he shows up, guys, and he's, like, starting to set up, like, a tripod and all this stuff.

00:00:24:22 - 00:00:44:02

And you're like all right what are we doing today. Okay. Long story short I shoot Savannah's personal content and peptide company. Yes. So I'm in the mindset of honey, I'm here to work.

00:00:44:05 - 00:01:02:18
Unknown
Yes. Because I, I didn't think I was going to be on your podcast because we're busy. And sometimes you play phone tag. And long story short, on the invite it says, do you like recording the podcast? I'm thinking I'm shooting B-roll for Savannah today. No, bitch, I'm on the fucking podcast and my hair is wet and I'm in an Alice set.

00:01:02:19 - 00:01:22:08
Unknown
Yeah. Also, guys. And I was kind of shocked at his outfit choice. Like, that's like a brand. Like cute, like, throughout the day, but, like, this is me working. Yes. This is the help outfit. Now, selfishly, I'm happy you bird that because I had a dress and stuff that I could, I brought because I'm like pants going to be dressed up, so I have to dress up.

00:01:22:10 - 00:01:37:07
Unknown
And then when you shut up. I guess I'm like, yes, this is great. I'm just. Yeah, honey. Norman, I would put a look on honey for you. I would add a whole set of momma, a bag, a sunglass, a slick back here. Look like I'm about to join the mafia, which they never let me in because I run this mouth too much.

00:01:37:07 - 00:01:59:13

See, honey, we're we're we're go, girls. We're going. So this is that's how today started out. I was highly confused why he was sitting over there and not here.

00:01:59:17 - 00:02:20:16
Unknown
I was sitting on the fourth wall and he just about to work. You were, Okay, so let's go back a little. How did we meet? Okay, so Nashville, big city, small town, very small town like you. Indirectly. Me. But then you like. It's just. How did we meet? I think my friend lived at 1212. And you lived at 1207.

00:02:20:17 - 00:02:32:21
Unknown
Oh, gee. Days. And we ran into each other and we just had that energy hunting. We just met each other. And then we always kept up with each other on Instagram. And then you called me one day and was like, I need to do some personal content. I said, honey, I been waiting for the call. I don't know why you waited this damn long.

00:02:32:21 - 00:02:49:08
Unknown
Well, also to like if you've seen content on Instagram with like Nashville real estate, all of that, chances are you've done it. I'm very lucky. I've built a career here and invested in real estate, and so I have. I've taken the niche by storm. You really have to say it's and I'll go toe to toe with anybody. Let's go.

00:02:49:09 - 00:03:09:07
Unknown
It's it's amazing the content that you produce is really awesome. Thank you. And then you'd also do a lot of personal content for people. Didn't you do one of the twins weddings or those twins? I always look at them as twins. Oh, Bailey and Blair, they literally. They're Irish twins. I think they're 13 months apart. Like, call them twins, but they're not like, they're not twins.

00:03:09:07 - 00:03:27:14
Unknown
My girlfriend Blair got married. The Plaza and I shot part of her wedding morning, and it was stunning. But yeah, I do wedding content as well for some. Some, like, really close friends or some clients. I'm actually funny enough, I haven't shot a wedding in, like, months, and I'm shooting one this Saturday. No way. For a influencer friend of mine, she is a she does a lot of like blog contents for moms and kids and she's so sweet to me.

00:03:27:14 - 00:03:44:16
Unknown
Her name is Jessica, and I was like, honey, I'll do that for you. Let me carve out the time. I'll be there. Let's do it. I love that. So how did you get I guess first off, you're from Alabama. Roll tide, honey. See? That's great. Grayson's down in t town. Yes, mama. Mama has. I tried to help Grayson out a couple times.

00:03:44:18 - 00:03:58:23
Unknown
Oh, yeah? Because Grayson, a speeding ticket. Yeah. And then he. He took the advice of my mother and went online and paid it. I was like, no, I had a lawyer that was gonna take care of my mom. Already handled it with the judge, honey, because mom's good friends with the judges down there and Tuscaloosa. Honey. We know.

00:03:59:05 - 00:04:14:15
Unknown
And so shout out to Kathy linesman. Crockett law firm. We love you, honey. Get us out of a lot of shit. But, Yeah, my mom had, like, handled the ticket and then. Great. Your mom paid it. Yeah. And I was like, girl, no, we don't do that. No, we get out of it. Exactly. That money could have gone towards a new bag trip.

00:04:14:21 - 00:04:36:20
Unknown
Something. And those tickets aren't cheap, doll. No, that's a good flight to go somewhere. He. He definitely. Yeah, they shut the bet on that one. I know, but obviously from Alabama. When did you come to Nashville? So I moved to Nashville, like 2018, 2019, graduated University of Alabama, and my first job was at Breakaway Music Festival as an influencer partnership manager.

00:04:36:20 - 00:04:48:20
Unknown
That was my first job in Nashua. I had a full time job living in Tuscaloosa, going to school. But yeah, I was in the music industry and it was wild. It was a good time. Yeah, I bet it was a real good time. One day I looked in the mirror and I said, I can't fucking do this anymore.

00:04:48:20 - 00:05:09:09
Unknown
I gotta, I gotta figure out because when you do something, you go 110%. Yeah. And I can only imagine. And that means going out seven nights a week in that industry. I would rather just walk into oncoming traffic. I know it was. I was tired, but honey, we just put some under I and we just kept going and we went to the tanning bed to cover up the gray circles, and we just got tan and we just kept going, kept moving, kept moving and grooving.

00:05:09:13 - 00:05:26:08
Unknown
I'm glad I've got a fellow. See I'm bad. I go to the tanning bed like, like every ten days. I just gotta keep. I gotta keep a little something I'd rather you know. Well, micro needle, we're laser it. We'll do something. But I can't be depressed. And when I'm pale, I'm depressed. That's what I've said. I'm like, I can't be thick and pale.

00:05:26:10 - 00:05:42:12
Unknown
You're not thick, you know. But you know what I mean. Like, as an athlete, honey, you should see this body tan fat is better than pale fat. Amen. Amen. That's just me. But, yeah, I moved here and did that. And then I worked at Twitter, and then I started my own agency. So tell us about what you did at Twitter.

00:05:42:13 - 00:06:06:13
Unknown
Oh, girl. So what? 22, 2021 girl oh my. So my story is 18 years old. Got my first job as a marketing assist, the Hall of Fame Museum, I think it was the Bryant Denny Museum. I was a call okay, in Tuscaloosa. So I did like marketing partnerships for the Hall of Fame. So I also the National Championships game day, which is very not my vibe, but I did it.

00:06:06:14 - 00:06:28:06
Unknown
Not your I needed a check. The bills were due. The rent was due on the first sadly, and I and I covered those bills and so I worked and that was my first job. And then I did photography as well. Lifestyle for a lot of seniors and people who need to get a job after they graduated Alabama. And then I moved to Nashville, had that job at Berklee Music Festival for a short contract, and then got a job at Twitter.

00:06:28:09 - 00:06:44:06
Unknown
And what did you do at Twitter? So I was in global advertising at Twitter, which was super cool because you would it was wild to see what these people would spend. I mean, some people would spend 2 to $300,000 on a day on a trending spotlight, which basically means they're viral for the day. That is crazy globally. So.

00:06:44:07 - 00:07:00:04
Unknown
Well, actually, I think it was just that amount for North America. But my clients there, I worked with Rebecca minkoff, I worked with the Met Museum, squish, Milo's Target, oh my gosh, squish moms all right thing. Yeah the kids love squish. Oh my god. And I would do a shout out for Squish Malice. They were my nicest clients.

00:07:00:04 - 00:07:08:06
Unknown
They were so good to me. So now when I go to children's birthday parties, I buy the hell out of Squish Malice because they were so. They were such kind people to me. That's amazing,

00:07:08:10 - 00:07:15:21
Unknown
don't realize, like these big corporations, I guess a company, right. Like you're dealing with a real person at these corporations.

00:07:15:22 - 00:07:33:15
Unknown
Yeah. And they can make your day or absolutely break. Well, Squish malice had a small team, so it still felt like family, you know what I mean? But yeah, I was in global advertising so basically worked on paid ads and people spending on paid ads on Twitter. And they would spend a lot with me, honey. Yeah. They were.

00:07:33:17 - 00:07:40:14
Unknown
Well, because it works, right? There are times to where it works. And when it works, it works well, it works, but it's so expensive. It's all a tile.

00:07:40:18 - 00:07:42:08
Unknown
that's freaking awesome.

00:07:42:08 - 00:08:01:15
Unknown
Holy cow. So that was it. 21 years old. Yeah, I worked there from like 21 to 20 3 or 24. Okay. And I was doing some freelance agency stuff on the side. And then what happened? Well, girl, girl, they wanted me to move to New York or Atlanta. And you are very New York on very New York, honey, because I'm blunt and I.

00:08:01:21 - 00:08:26:20
Unknown
Honey, we're fast and you're just fabulous, like, very New York. And I had just bought my first condo at 21 at War within Lofts. I put 3% down. I was broke a shit FHA loan girl FHA, AJ a I'm honest. I'm honest about my upcoming the first one, my first one and I bought it for 315,000. Barely did anything to it, but marketed it really well with my fiance Dylan, who's a builder and designer and did.

00:08:26:20 - 00:08:46:07
Unknown
Honestly, a lot of paint is what it was. It was paint and furniture. I kept it for two, two and a half years, bought at 315, I think. I when I sold it, I owed like 280 on and I sold it for over half $1 million for one bedroom. And it changed my life because I remember when I closed that day and sold that property, I think I had like less than ten grand to my name.

00:08:46:09 - 00:09:06:10
Unknown
So you're talking went from ten grand into a checking account to, I think, like, what would that be, like 220,000 hitting my account. And I was 23, 24 years old. Honey, I thought it was a Rockefeller. I thought it was somebody. I thought I was ready to hit the streets. And then I saw myself and said, somebody take this money away from me because I don't want to spend.

00:09:06:10 - 00:09:22:16
Unknown
So I literally give it to money manager and I, my agency, my marketing agency. It's my passion. I don't look at it so much as business where my I've been able to build money and some wealth is real estate for sure. So then I opened my marketing agency that focused on real estate because I fell in love, honey, that 200 grand in my account.

00:09:22:16 - 00:09:27:03
Unknown
And I was like, bit. I was like, I need this every day is give it to me. So

00:09:27:08 - 00:09:37:16
Unknown
at that point did you realize all right I'm going to get into real estate or I'm going to do this or I never wanted to get my license for some reason. I just never wanted my clients to look at me as a competitor.

00:09:37:17 - 00:09:53:08
Unknown
And I give them deals and hook them up because I hear so many different deals and what's going on right now. Yeah, I literally on the way in have a call. I had a call with a builder who I might do a project with where I found a lot that's really, really good. Yeah. A lot that's undervalued by about $1 million.

00:09:53:08 - 00:10:08:22
Unknown
So that's already our profit margin in a deal. So we're looking to possibly do hopefully a 9 to $10 million build. But we would build it for probably around five and a half, 6 million walk away with around 3 million. That would be. And then that's not all mine. We would split that of course with investor a builder myself.

00:10:08:22 - 00:10:25:03
Unknown
So Dylan would be involved, my fiance as a builder and designer as well. But yeah, I just got addicted to real estate and tapped into the marketing. What would you say to people that are afraid? Oh my God. Into the world of real estate. Get out that twin bed. You belong in a king bed, honey, I would say start really small.

00:10:25:04 - 00:10:49:02
Unknown
I mean, I started a word in lofts. I'm not kidding. I put all my money down on that condo. It was 300, 350,000. I think I got in there for 9 or 10 grand in total with the down payment. That's crazy. And then I knew if you close. Always so quiet, since if you're getting into the game, like if you're young first time home buyer, if you close on let's say October 1st, you've all October, November and then December 15th is when your first mortgage is due.

00:10:49:02 - 00:11:09:10
Unknown
So you have 75 days to make that cash back. Yeah. So it's always better the time of month. You close changes always close on the first business day of the month in my opinion, because then you have some time before that first mortgage heads. That's amazing. So you did that. You got that 250 grand, you gave it to a money manager, and then you started your agency agent.

00:11:09:10 - 00:11:28:08
Unknown
I was doing some freelance at the time for some called on Brand on Brant Honey, because I love a play on words. Let me tell you something. In marketing you have Pinterest, Shopify. What would some others? Pinterest, Shopify? Facebook, Instagram. They mix words that aren't really true words. So my business advice and marketing is find two words and mix them together where they're very memorable.

00:11:28:09 - 00:11:45:22
Unknown
You know what I mean? So then it's not basically the same as anyone else. So that is a very on brand. That's amazing. I love that. So you started that and what was your first? Who was your first big client that you were like, Holy shit. Okay, so I was in life coaching because during Covid I was a fucking loser.

00:11:46:00 - 00:12:02:05
Unknown
I was depressed, fat and poor. It was awful. Stop. Were you really the three worst girl I. My God, I gained like 30 pounds during Covid. I'm well in my version of fat. Yes. Okay. I got for 200 pounds and right now I'm like, but you're tall. I'm six one, six two. But yeah, 200 pounds is,

00:12:02:07 - 00:12:10:13
Unknown
When in college, I was just, like, getting the gay community. I was like, oh, 29 ways to look at that. So when I gained some way, I was like, God help me,

Covid, I was literally so unwell because I'm so extroverted, obviously. So when you're locked up in a house, of course, and you're not seeing your friends, and I just moved from Tuscaloosa to Nashville and working at Twitter, that's how I wanted to die.

00:14:31:09 - 00:14:50:19
Unknown
So that was awful. So I went through life coaching a program called Choice Center in Las Vegas. I was in between then and there and my first big client, I remember they I really did the work and I worked on healing, negativity, healing, victimhood, all this bullshit we tell ourselves every day. And I told myself, I said by my birthday.

00:14:50:20 - 00:15:07:22
Unknown
The program ended around Christmas. So December, January. And I said, by my birthday in May, five months from now, I want to do ten grand a month in my agency. And by my birthday, I remember I sat in Dillon's office because Dillon had the cool office at the time in her house, because I was just made to see and I was out every day.

00:15:07:22 - 00:15:25:02
Unknown
I sat there and I wasn't even, like, crying. I just remember tears rolling down my face. And I had done like 35,000 by May 14th a month. Wow. And I was blown. I get chills because I remember just I had a dream. I wanted to do 125 grand a year. Yeah, and I was doing like 35 grand a month, and my agency and I was working my ass off.

00:15:25:03 - 00:15:43:10
Unknown
I mean, I was working 60, 70 hours a week. It did not come easy. And it took a lot of work. But that's where it really hit me. And I was like, oh my God, this is insane. And you, you talked about obviously moving from Tuscaloosa and then you just hit on, you know, being that, you know, in college, the gay, the 29 waist.

00:15:43:13 - 00:16:00:01
Unknown
How hard was that being gay and Tesco's Alabama, I'll tell you, I didn't really meet a gay person until I was about 17 or 18 years old because it's different now. How old are you? Well, I'm Emma's 30. Okay. Yeah. So you and I. Yeah. You and I are the same age. We are. We're the same age. Yeah.

00:16:00:02 - 00:16:15:13
Unknown
So you'll turn 30 in May? Well, right now I'm turning. I'm turning 29 in May, so. Oh, shit. I'm a younger than me. I'm 28. I'm sorry. I'm the older one. Sorry. I have to preface that with some clients. I'm used to telling people all the time where they'll take me seriously because we need those checks to hit.

00:16:15:15 - 00:16:39:06
Unknown
We need. We need the maturity. I love you, I would never think, but, like, even. Okay, I hear stories from Grayson. Yeah. And, you know, we had this conversation with my dad not long ago at the house. Yeah. And it's like, what do these kids are doing now? And what they're, it's experimenting with and all kinds of. Well, see, that wasn't the same with our.

00:16:39:07 - 00:16:42:21
Unknown
No, I was very.

00:16:42:23 - 00:16:59:02
Unknown
How do I explain this? I mean, when I was in Tuscaloosa, like I said, I didn't meet because I went to high school in Tuscaloosa and I went to Alabama and I moved to Nashville. So I didn't meet a gay person until I was 17 or 18 years old, literally. And when I got to Alabama, I just was still wearing Peter Miller Avco shorts.

00:16:59:02 - 00:17:17:15
Unknown
I had bangs like Justin Bieber. I was wearing Kostas charcoal. I was a whole different life. It was wild. And then I got to Alabama and found a little bit of a trendiness. I found a little Asos. Com I thought I was doing a stunt on him and doing Adidas like graphic tees and wearing Jordans, and I was changing like I was.

00:17:17:21 - 00:17:34:16
Unknown
I wouldn't say changing. I would say I was becoming who I wanted to be and who I knew I was. Yeah, but I back then, honey, Tuscaloosa was so small. If I was dating someone, they were probably in Atlanta at the time because I was like, I don't want anyone around here. I'll tell you this. I'll never forget I was 18.

00:17:34:18 - 00:17:50:19
Unknown
I was at a gay bar in Tuscaloosa called icon. Shout out to icon, honey. Y'all, I had a lot of fun there. And I was sitting at the bar and I was sitting next to a new friend of mine because I was, you know, starting to meet more people, more in the gay community. And he sat there in this cute boy, walked in, and he told me he had sex with him, sex with him the weekend before.

00:17:50:20 - 00:18:09:20
Unknown
Told me what? Too much detail. I'm not going to go into too much of it. And I sat there and I was like, I will never have someone speak like that about me, ever. So I didn't really, honey, I would barely. I was like, I ain't kissing none of these frogs in Tuscaloosa, honey, which there were some beautiful, amazing people, but I just think it was too small and I wanted to be more private.

00:18:09:21 - 00:18:27:12
Unknown
And especially when you're still trying to figure it all out like you knew you were gay. But that doesn't mean that it comes easy. No. You know, but I I'll tell you, Tuscaloosa, shockingly, because I believe it's about 70% out of state. I never had a problem. That's amazing. I never well, there was one time. One time. There was one time.

00:18:27:12 - 00:18:43:19
Unknown
And you, me tell the story? Yes. There was one time I was treated great in Tuscaloosa. I felt safe, no slurring. No. Nobody ever said anything bad. I had a bunch of girlfriends and the straight men knew that they wanted to get a girl. They had to go through me. I was the gay pimp, honey. In town. I was running the I was running it.

00:18:43:22 - 00:19:01:21

And they knew they had to be good to me. And I'll be your wingman, honey. But you got to be good to me. You got to get through me to get to her. Of course. Yes. Like Grayson has two. Either 1 or 2 of his friends are gay, and they're like. Like, I know one of them. And he is the sweetest, most amazing person ever.

00:19:01:23 - 00:19:02:08
Unknown
Yeah.

00:19:02:11 - 00:19:28:13
Unknown
I remember I was leaving Innisfree one night. I was friends with a guy named Derek Purdy. Owens and his friend always took good care of me, and I. I was leaving and I was walking by this bar called the Booth, which is a very just frat old row bar. And I was walking and I was wearing, you know, I was finding myself I was wearing jeans and Adidas tops and Jordans like I was feeling it, honey, with the $40 I had in my pocket at the time and one would ever know.

00:19:28:14 - 00:19:46:06
Unknown
And I, I was walking by the booth and the bar back jumps out of the door and he screams, get out of here, fagot! And I remember I'd had a couple of drinks. Derek Purdy took good care of me, and I have a mouth on me like Mr. Todd Lee over here, honey. Yeah, we play a game of verbal tennis.

00:19:46:06 - 00:20:00:23
Unknown
Me and talk and go at it. And I looked at him. He jumped out and call me a fagot. And I said, you want to call the Glock nine and my pants a fagot? Because your brain would look so good on the back of that motherfucking bar. I said, make my day, please. And he literally, he went like a ghost.

00:20:01:01 - 00:20:18:08
Unknown
And I get chills telling the story cause I remember I saw it flash in his eyes and he literally he's like, please, man, don't fucking kill me. I said, make my day. And he just looked at me. You know what I did? And I walked straight to the gay bar after I got a Cosmo and I it was so funny.

00:20:18:09 - 00:20:32:16
Unknown
And I wasn't even carrying that night, which at the time I would carry sometimes and like not so much until I was in Atlanta, stuff like that in my license. And I was like, you ain't going to talk to me like that? No, both my parents are attorneys. Honey, I got a tongue like a knife. I was like, we can go bar for bar all day long.

00:20:32:17 - 00:20:46:21
Unknown
Yeah, but that is the only one time, and I scared the fuck out that guy. Well, good for you. That's my thing. Is, like, public shame. Bring back public shame. Todd, Chris and I did in front of all his friends and by everybody in that bar looked at me like they were terrified. Yeah, well, that's what I said.

00:20:46:21 - 00:21:11:12
Unknown
Don't do it with me, baby. To use, like, racial slurs or derogatory slurs about someone's sexuality. I'm just to me, it's ignorant. And it's like, why do you want someone to feel less than? Why do you want to be the reason someone's going home and crying at night, or feeling sorry for themselves, or feeling bad? Like why I just never let it, I don't think ever bothered me.

00:21:11:13 - 00:21:26:01
Unknown
Good for you. Because I was just like, you ain't pay my bills. I'm figuring this out on my own and I'm gonna figure it out so I don't care. I really did it. That's but good. I mean, I said, make my day. I feel like Madea Simmons. Honey, I felt like I was on a like I was about.

00:21:26:02 - 00:21:40:02
Unknown
I felt like I was Tyler Perry. Honey, I was having me a time make my day. He was terrified. I'll never forget his good. I bet he didn't do it again. I walked icon after him with all my gay friends and got a Cosmo. I was lyric I love that. And so what has it been like? So it really hasn't been that long, right?

00:21:40:03 - 00:22:02:13
Unknown
Like you think of what it's been ten years. Only ten years. Yeah. And I have a fiance. What a transformation. I know I've been with my fiance, which is crazy. We've been together for seven years. Yeah. Got engaged last year. Yeah. That's so awesome I love that, that's exciting. And so what do you say you and I actually had this conversation on?

00:22:02:15 - 00:22:25:01
Unknown
Because you see stuff people comment or whatever, and people love to get into politics. And I've lost a lot of friends in the midst of politics. And it's like, how you being gay? How could you possibly be friends with someone like me? Yeah, that's fucking. And that's what exactly is wrong with our world is we have got to just love each other.

00:22:25:03 - 00:22:48:03
Unknown
Yeah. I'm not looking at someone and seeing a political view across their forehead and I. And it takes me back to high school. I remember when I moved to Tuscaloosa, I had friends, told me not to be friends with specific people, and I was so anti that and honestly made me look negatively upon the people who would say those things to me and I would become best friends with those people, because it's about how that person makes you feel in that moment, how they're a good friend to you.

00:22:48:05 - 00:23:08:04
Unknown
Yeah. So and now, I mean, I know be mean. You be friends forever, like I, I'm not. And I think too, you have such a healthy outlook on it because it's like just because someone may believe in something doesn't mean they believe in it across the board. No. And also, there's I feel like a lot of people, especially in the Conservative Party, are more like even independents.

00:23:08:05 - 00:23:23:14
Unknown
Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yes. It's just you have to pick between two. I know, you know, that's the thing. It's like you have to pick between two. And so it's like a popularity thing, like majority of the other, you know, 100. Yeah. I just love people for where they meet me at. That's a good way to put it.

00:23:23:16 - 00:23:41:22
Unknown
I love that. And so you like you said you're engaged. You your past ten years of your life has been a whirlwind wild ride. I mean from Twitter to. And then did you work for the Titans at one point. They were one of my clients. Yeah okay I did some stuff for the Titans. Yeah. That's amazing freelance stuff.

00:23:41:22 - 00:24:00:07
Unknown
Yeah. That's so fun. So you've worked with all kinds of different brands, a lot of different niches live from squish mouse toys. Yes, to Tennessee Titans to lawyers to builders. Designers. I mean, a lot. I would say my niche now is specifically real estate because I'm addicted. Yeah. You know what I mean? In Nashville. Exactly. And that here in Nashville, that's never ending business.

00:24:00:09 - 00:24:18:05
Unknown
Now, you also, though at one point started a candle company. Oh, girl. And what tell us the story behind that, because I think that goes to show that, like, you find where you belong in the midst of all the things that you try, right, like, and you're just a hustler and you're like, all right, I'm going to do this.

00:24:18:06 - 00:24:32:19
Unknown
Oh, I love fragrance, I love and me and you love. We love dip tea. Connie, please. Sponsors. For the love of God, your candles, your candles. Cause I might as well get it. Rolls Royce with Alexander are so expensive. But you also. And you're like, yeah. And I'm like, trying to find the landmines man we got for that are not on.

00:24:32:19 - 00:24:50:07
Unknown
Let's turn them up. Let's line them up. Smells fucking good up in this house. And so I owned a candle company called scandal. So the word candle with the s in front of it. And it did well, but not well enough. And it was exhausting. I did the marketing, I did the pouring, I did the shipments. I did the customer service.

00:24:50:07 - 00:25:14:05
Unknown
I did all of it alone. I had no one except myself, only cow. And it did well. You can look it up at Shop Scandal. I still own the rights to it. But I loved it. It was kind of iconic back then. That's amazing. And so what made you, like what made you draw the line in the sand and be like, all right, this isn't worth my time or money anymore, but also made you realize, like, hey, this wasn't a fail.

00:25:14:09 - 00:25:29:17
Unknown
This wasn't a failure. I think, honestly, my marketing business, my agency just took off. Yeah. And it was more lucrative and I was more connected to humans, like filming, like what we do. And I just enjoyed it more because I was very alone when doing the candle company. So I wouldn't even say it was so much about money.

00:25:29:17 - 00:25:47:03
Unknown
It was more like I just fell in love with my agency and the people like my clients, I would I would do anything for them. Like, I don't have a single client right now I don't jive well with, but you can't. This is so personable that you can't. Well, they're on camera with you and it's just me and them in the room constantly, so they have to be super comfortable with me for it to actually work.

00:25:47:05 - 00:26:03:22
Unknown
But scandal was cool. I loved fragrance and for example, like one candle would be a mirror label and so you could see yourself in it and it would say, take his annex to LA. So it was a scandal, and I love that the candle would smell like, creative interest from sex. So it smelled like the man. Yeah.

00:26:03:23 - 00:26:24:23
Unknown
So everything played really, really well together. That's amazing. And what, you know, obviously creating something from nothing. What's the hardest part? I mean, you did that. Do a candle company. Get off your with your marketing company. I would just say get off your ass and do it. Yeah. What what's the hardest part though? Honestly, for me it would be like knowing where to start.

00:26:25:02 - 00:26:39:04
Unknown
No I can. I'm really. I've been very blessed by God. I feel like I'm in a mindset where I'm really creative. I can be creative. I can come up with something on a fly. We talked about that. Well, that's why you're so good at the pajama. The pajama concept. I told you when you were in the kitchen, you were just eating ice cream.

00:26:39:04 - 00:26:54:04
Unknown
I came up with the whole campaign idea, and it was just a fun idea. And I said, honey, when you call her, tell her I want. 20%. I know, it's hilarious. Like a daddy. Honey, literally for me, I will say, it's like I have all these ideas running through my mind that it's like, all right, where do you start?

00:26:54:04 - 00:27:11:10
Unknown
And that's where it gets overwhelming is all right. What's the first step to well, I'm so proud you've done your peptide company because I mean it's killing it. Yeah I'm doing amazing. And that's not answering numbers well. And you're helping so many people. So many people are, you know, messaging us and letting us know, like how you're changing their lives.

00:27:11:10 - 00:27:29:00
Unknown
So it's just great that the business is thriving, but you're also making people feel better. What was so awesome is there was a girl that messaged me over the weekend, and her wedding is in like seven months, and she has, I think, two kids, but her weddings and seven months she went, she was using some other products and then she came over to Good Girl.

00:27:29:00 - 00:27:49:21
Unknown
She started using the, that we offer and she was like, I dropped the weight so quick. She's like, do you have a discount code? Like, my wedding's coming up trying to save all the money that I can. And I was like, you're here? Like, it's because the way that she handled it, and it was just like, she was so sweet, so complimentary.

00:27:49:21 - 00:28:03:06
Unknown
We can't do that. Everybody. Now we got bills to pay. You can't do. We got it. I got a bill that needs to be paid. And Savannah's the best. She takes real good care of me. So y'all, I haven't for all y'all. Now calm down, calm down. I'll be up in her dad's like that. Yes. No, but there are some times, though.

00:28:03:06 - 00:28:19:01
Unknown
Drum like. All right. God blesses me. So it's like bless whether you do. And what we. And she will remember that literally the rest of her life. Because a woman's wedding is one of the largest seasons of their lives. I'm. I'm trying to wedding plan right now, and I don't know. I haven't done a damn thing, Savannah. I've been engaged a year.

00:28:19:02 - 00:28:33:17
Unknown
Next week, see? And Dylan doesn't care. Dylan wants to run away in a lope. He could care less. You know what? I kind of. I kind of want to run away. You should. I just don't want to hurt people's feelings, like, am I? But it's not about you. I mean, it's not. It's not about, hey, it's not about you.

00:28:33:18 - 00:28:49:23
Unknown
Literally. The wedding business. Hey, bitch. It's not about you. It's about everyone else. Except you. It's not about them. It's about you. I know you know me and Dylan fell in love with Como this last year after we went Milan Design week, and I. I was like, I could go here for a month and get married. That'd be cool.

00:28:50:00 - 00:29:09:11
Unknown
You should. And then you can just, like, celebrate when you get back with all the people that you love, you know, maybe go to Magic City down there in Atlanta. Juju Jude, 21st birthday in Magic City. That was fun. Oh, maybe we'll do my wedding party there. The girls be dancing. Honey. Birthday cake. Oh, wedding cake everywhere. You know, Todd still got to try their wings, apparently because he lost a bet.

00:29:09:12 - 00:29:23:07
Unknown
I'm trying to go with Todd. I think the time to get on stage. You know, I'm still friends with some of those girls on Instagram. We chitchat. Stop. We do. Dad. And there. I would die to see dad in that. When I was in Magic City Super Bowl weekend. I don't even know who the fuck was playing that weekend.

00:29:23:07 - 00:29:42:20
Unknown
It was years ago, one of the most iconic weekends of my life. I was in Magic City, and every single girl that Super Bowl weekend took home over 100 grand in cash per dancer. There was like 30 of them, 30 or more. That is insane. But those girls are educated. They have workouts. They talk about. It's they have like sales meetings.

00:29:42:20 - 00:29:58:06
Unknown
They have psychology meetings on how to talk to these men like they are smart women and they're at night. Honey, if you're there, relay about 4 or 5 a.m. when they got their cars there. Have security taken them out. The club. Good for that. That's not a safe. Well, they're going out to get in their Rolls-Royces, their Bentleys and their painting.

00:29:58:07 - 00:30:20:06
Unknown
Baby, honey, they're not finance. Those girls are doing it. That's my thing, is, all these men are, like, spending their paychecks on these girls. And I'm like, I mean, good for them. I was like, but they're going to get in their Rolls-Royce while you're going and getting like your Corolla, Renta or whatever they're called, like honey, then the hamster car and then that Kia Soul going home to their wife and children, get your ass back home.

00:30:20:06 - 00:30:37:20
Unknown
What the hell are you talking about, exactly? Put your dollars in your children's education. Are we okay there? They've been those women's education. They're taking that money and going and getting a college degree, though. Yes. You know what I say? Everyone lives life based off their own life experience and trauma. So, like, they have to do what they have to do.

00:30:37:22 - 00:30:46:03
Unknown
They're doing it good for them. They're doing it. But, honey, when talk goes well, I'll have some wings. I'll go down there and have some wings. Mr. taught me a fun trip that would be like a 40 minute flight.

00:30:46:06 - 00:30:51:15
Unknown
Chase was trying to tell him how good the wings were. They're good. And dad's like, dad is disgusting.

00:30:51:15 - 00:31:04:06
Unknown
They're not. You got booty juice flying, trying to eat some more honey. They have a chef back there in the kitchen they bring it out to. It's a whole different team. Calm down. Todd, they gonna make sure your food is clean. They got a hell scored up hold at the Magic City. Exactly.

00:31:04:09 - 00:31:04:20
Unknown
Okay, so

00:31:04:23 - 00:31:06:06
Unknown
What's next for you?

00:31:06:08 - 00:31:11:07
Unknown
right now I want to get into building. I want to get into building because I'll tell you where the money in this town is.

00:31:11:08 - 00:31:35:14
Unknown
Is building. It is. I have a friend. There's. And I'm just going to tell you, there's a lot of shitty builders in Nashville. There's some and I don't want to talk negatively, but they just that we could do better on the finishes. Always tell clients, I would say not just finishes actual trade work. Yeah. Plumbing HVAC. You look at crown molding, you look at baseboards and they're just zigzagging.

00:31:35:19 - 00:31:53:20
Unknown
Exactly. What's taking a bath, honey, they were sideways like a game of Tetris. Going down that hallway urinates me. It infuriates me. Yeah, I would say building. I really want to get in with some investors in a builder friend of mine, for example, I have a client who just built a property all in land costs, built around 3.9 million, and they sold it for about $8 million.

00:31:53:21 - 00:32:07:08
Unknown
Well, right under in the seven. No way. So, I mean, there's a lot of profit to be made in building a lot of these people don't know what I mean. It's just like a dress for you. Go to market by dress for $50, $700, 100% markup. Exactly. These builders, some of them and not all of them, are getting that profit margin.

00:32:07:08 - 00:32:26:12
Unknown
You're averaging sometimes 20, 30% for spec. But I mean, if you're building these larger homes, you're going to make more money, of course, in the eight, nine, $10 million price point. So what would you say is some advice for people in the marketing space or someone who's like on social media, trying to get someone to pay attention to them, or a brand to pay attention to them or to grow their following?

00:32:26:13 - 00:32:45:09
Unknown
What's like a tip of brands? Be fucking over the top. If you go back and look at my branding right now, it's literally embarrassing because it was a Miami DJ vibe was my esthetic when I started my agency stop, because I commanded attention, because I knew I needed in Nashville to splash in and be ridiculous and be crazy.

00:32:45:10 - 00:33:00:07
Unknown
That might not be my style. My every day I'm just an all black and like a Jordan. But I mean be ridiculous. Be over the top, be extra. Do you think you think A-list celebrities are average and they're like undercutting themselves and they're being quiet? No,

00:33:00:07 - 00:33:04:08
Unknown
fuck no. They're loud. Extremely. That's why I'm really just not as successful.

00:33:04:09 - 00:33:19:11
Unknown
Because I'm not loud. You know me. I like to live in my own little bubble. This bitch is so loud. I like to live in my own little bubble. Private with your your bubble. But I will say, like when we shot your your last shoot. Like I liked that you were like. The more glam outfits have the basic one because you want to be yourself and you have an identity.

00:33:19:11 - 00:33:33:17
Unknown
And that's what I'm saying. You need to have an identity, and you don't need to be afraid about what people are saying. And I think in your 20s, you really need to gamble. You really need to gamble on yourself and do some scary shit to get where you need to be or where you too late. I'll tell you, though.

00:33:33:18 - 00:33:48:09
Unknown
I mean, I remember being a kid like a teenager or like even in college, and I had a vision. I was like, I'm going to do something, and I felt it. It's like a a sixth sense. I felt, yeah, and it's not an ego thing. It's something about I want, I'm want to get there. I will be there.

00:33:48:10 - 00:33:59:20
Unknown
Yeah. And so I just have constantly had a vision and I think you have to really sit there and say what? Get clear on what is that vision? Who do I want to be and where do I want to be? And so just free balling and throwing a dart at the board and hope it works out for you.

00:33:59:21 - 00:34:16:03
Unknown
You know what I mean? Exactly. And not being a slave to literally everyone and everything, like you have to have their identity. I've been there. I mean I, I will, you know, I work a lot. I mean, still to this day, I work about at least 60 hours a week. So, I mean, you have to in your 20s, it's not about being comfortable.

00:34:16:03 - 00:34:32:17
Unknown
Dylan and I, I joke all the time. We've been in a renovation for two years. It's another investment property that we're investing in. We're flipping and living in it. And me and Dylan joke, I joke. Dylan doesn't love it, but I'm like, we have a kitchen for nine months. We are always putting everyone's houses before ours, but I'm going to sell that house before I turn 30 and make seven figures.

00:34:32:17 - 00:34:46:03
Unknown
So, I mean, you have to be uncomfortable to get comfortable, and I don't deserve to be comfortable right now if I want to be where I want to be in a few years. I love you, and I love that I don't deserve it because it's a title. Bullshit. Y'all got to stop with that. Like it's not going to fall on your lap.

00:34:46:03 - 00:34:53:04
Unknown
Mommy and daddy ain't going to save you. I got cut off. I had to figure it out. I was figuring out credit when I was 18 years old. Had two jobs going to school full time, two degrees. It was

00:34:53:07 - 00:34:54:00
Unknown
exhausting.

00:34:54:01 - 00:35:04:06
Unknown
Well, literally, I say like when I literally say when my dad cut me off, I literally had to, like, call my mom and be like, how do you write a check?

00:35:04:08 - 00:35:09:06
Unknown
Yeah, I remember we talked about that. Yeah, like I had no idea. But I say it's the greatest thing that could have ever happened to me.

00:35:09:06 - 00:35:15:17
Unknown
And Julie says, sweetheart, she was heartbroken that you got cut off. I know she's an angel. She tries to keep peace, but, you know.

00:35:15:18 - 00:35:37:00
Unknown
Yeah, I always, always tell my friends and I have clients all the time, and they spoil the hell their kids. I'm like, honey, 18. Cut them off. Cut it. Cut cut cut cut cut cut it. Because they are not going to learn how to be self-sufficient adult. If you literally don't cut them off, they're going to be relying on you as an adult and your adulthood from 18 college like college er 18 to 22, that is pivotal where it is make or break time.

00:35:37:00 - 00:35:55:11
Unknown
And it really this sounds dramatic to you, but this is my honest to God truth. 18 to 22 is your time where it depends on the rest of your life. Amen. Yeah, I think who you show up in college and how you figure that out, the people who had the jobs. And I'm not even talking about myself here, but my friends who also worked during college, they are successful today.

00:35:55:11 - 00:36:14:06
Unknown
And I have some friends who are just starting really in their career 25, 26 and behind, in my opinion. Yeah, I was on my second or third company at 25, 26 because, you know, fortunately for them, they had parents who were going to do everything until they graduated college versus once. You have to struggle a little bit, struggle.

00:36:14:07 - 00:36:28:08
Unknown
I love to see a kid struggle. Diamonds are made under the rough, darling. And I love that. I love I mean, I struggle. I remember being like, am I going to put gas in my car this week? What are we doing? Or are we going to buy in liquid at target for buy one, get one this week? Hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

00:36:28:08 - 00:36:42:17
Unknown
And now I'm at Hallsville. If I want a wagyu or some risotto for dinner. No naughty martini. So life is where it needs to be and where. Where we're meant to be right now. So enjoy your martini. Savannah got me on. Went to halls, remember? Went for lunch, and you got that, like, poke bowl. Oh, my. I didn't even know they had it.

00:36:42:17 - 00:36:57:04
Unknown
Girl. And me and Savannah had a business meeting. I was like, man, I can even past that later. I mean by that literally that was like our first time. Like really? Because like I said, nationals, big city, small town. Like we had interacted with each other but never really spent like all time together so much. That was right before your parents got out.

00:36:57:05 - 00:37:13:20
Unknown
Yeah. I remember a lot of our lunch was like, you were getting calls. Like it was like, I think like a week or two before. It was right before. Right before. That was crazy. That was. And honestly, I like commend you for that. You were a mother and a sister during that time and that was hard. And I saw you on you were making money, you were working, you were investing.

She understands, you know. She got Olivia fire. Oh. She understands. Not very philanthropic, Olivia. She understands. But, you know, she didn't have proper training. She's self-taught. She didn't realize that this fabric wasn't going to interact well with water. And. But I thought it looked really intentional and cool. I will say one of my favorite videos I've ever seen.

00:41:18:18 - 00:41:33:12
Unknown
I think it's Bella or Gigi. I don't know which one of the Hadid's, but they're on a runway and it's where they're spraying a dress on them and then it forms stop. It's like a liquid and then turns into dress. That was hot. That's cool. I like my interest. Honey, their bodies look great.

Yes. If it's like 40, 50 bucks. Now, I'm not I'm not caring about that. Posting someone's house tour without tagging them. Or we talk about tagging the agent or the client. I think just maybe in general, like if someone were to post a house tour of like your house and didn't tag, are you better tag me girl. I've done slave to make that house what it is I've done worked, I'm done.

Lots of transfers to get the house where it needs to be. Replying. Haha. To a long text. I mean, put a gun in my mouth.

Unknown
That's terrible. That's why you sending a bitch a game of pool via dei message. After they done poured your heart out, you might as well just kill yourself. At that point I done like a game up. But you know, when they seen the ping pong at the pool game, I love the meetings where they send, like, a text where it's just their heart poured out and someone sends up a game back.

00:43:36:13 - 00:43:49:16
Unknown
Yeah. That is. Yeah. I mean, social suicide. Yeah. I mean, yeah, but I'm kind of guilty of that. If you ever do that to me, I'm pulling up to your house. I'm knocking on your door. Meanwhile, have a chit chat in the kitchen. Aaron knows I'm bad.

Unknown
What's the worst client request you've ever gotten? Okay. Oh, God.

00:44:36:22 - 00:44:59:10
Unknown
Questioning whether he should say it or not, we were turning red and turning red. I had a client years ago. We were on a shoot for. And am I going to say what kind of client was. It? Was a team shoot. And there was a very sweet woman on the team. And she the person who's in charge didn't like what she was wearing in the shoe.

00:44:59:11 - 00:45:14:03
Unknown
So she made me put her on the outside of every single photo. And it made me really sad because the woman was really sweet stuff, and that woman was very loyal to the group as well, and got shoved on the edge for every photo, and it made me sad. Oh, I don't like that shit because that girl was my homegirl.

00:45:14:04 - 00:45:26:03
Unknown
Honey, I was about to put her ass in the middle for every shot because she's nice, and they made me put it on the edge. I would think that was just after I left that shoot. I just felt like mean girl energy. And I was like, yeah, can't do this. No. And then I ended up not working with the client much longer after that.

00:45:26:04 - 00:45:32:12
Unknown
Good for you. A shoot that went off the rails.

00:45:32:14 - 00:45:46:01
Unknown
Oh, I mean, when I was in music industry honeymoon backstage like a young thug, a break away, and that would get crazy. Stop. You would do what? So I did social content to. I did some stuff for Breakaway Music Festival and we had, you know, like we'd be backstage with like future Young Thug and they would just be wow.

00:45:46:03 - 00:46:03:10
Unknown
Oh. And they would bring future. When he came to his set, he had like 20 or 30 people surrounding him. He had a posse on that jet. Honey, it was crazy. I'm like, yo, just put 20 or 30 people on this one plane to get here. Literally that plane going down, literally. What's the craziest thing you used to shoot?

00:46:03:12 - 00:46:21:18
Unknown
A good bit of weddings, right? Yeah, some. I started a wedding company called The Tent, and I honestly got so busy with my agency and then investing in real estate that now only take so many a year. But some. Yeah. What's the craziest thing you've seen at a wedding? Oh, gosh.

00:46:21:20 - 00:46:44:22
Unknown
Me questioning if the groom is into the into the bride or into one of his groom's men. No. Oh my God. Yeah, a little confusion. Are they still together? Oh, this was years ago. That's. I was quite confused because there was more energy between the parties and the men and the groom's men section, rather than between the husband and wife.

00:46:45:00 - 00:46:50:15
Unknown
That's the one. That was a little confusing for me. Okay, but, you know, to each his their own tomato. Tomorrow.

00:46:50:20 - 00:47:01:20
Unknown
The listing that looked nothing like the photos. Oh, my God, this happens all the time. Please. My advice to you. And sometimes it's even the opposite. It was photographed terribly. And you get the house. That's actually really good.

00:47:01:22 - 00:47:16:18
Unknown
Yeah, but yeah, I had one where, And a lot of buyers will literally not paint their houses. They'll make them like, you'll go in a crazy has to be red, yellow, purple, whatever. And if they would just paint it white, it would be a stunning house. But they end up they could spend $10,000 painting the house, but they don't.

00:47:16:18 - 00:47:36:13
Unknown
And they end up losing 50, 75,000 on the purchase price because they just won't paint the house. And it looks terrible. Purple, blue and orange and yellow. Yeah. So sometimes I mean the listing photos, I mean just do a little editing or something. Just get it out there. Let's let's hire let's hire a real team, darling. Okay. So you and I both been in Nashville long enough to have, I think, say we're somewhat local.

00:47:36:19 - 00:47:38:20
Unknown
We can have an opinion about it.

00:47:38:22 - 00:47:52:00
Unknown
So this is Nashville unfiltered, the stuff locals say and the group chat but never say on the internet. Bachelorettes around 13000 a year. Love it or over it.

Unknown
Oh god, the woo girls, I'm so tired. I hate the blue girls. You know your booths there are economy and I appreciate the money. Love it. We love it. You're not making me necessarily money because my clients here locally. But, you know, I appreciate what you're doing for the community, but maybe I'm if I. It's a Thursday. Honey, it's 10 a.m. and I gotta go to a meeting, and you're screaming to me off a bus.

00:48:28:23 - 00:48:49:17
Unknown
So we're over it, rose. Most overrated spot and most underrated. Oh, my God, I must overrated. Y'all go la Jackson. My god. So I don't even know if it's open anymore. Didn't it close I don't know, but La Jackson I would go there and spend what I would spend in New York City on a martini. And and then it was just a bunch of young people who had no business.

00:48:49:17 - 00:49:08:01
Unknown
They need to be at home working, making money. Honey, instead of spending $28 on a martini, get your ass home at work. Most underrated. Oh my God, I love Iggy's in Wedgewood, Houston for eating there. Gosh yes it's good. Good. The desert there not okay. We need to go to I don't think I've been there. It's so. Oh, and I love Restoration Hardware.

Unknown
People make fun of me all the time. Oh, my. That is my husband. My spot. I'm a little VIP at Harvard. They take good care of me there. I'm going there tonight. Actually, I go at least twice a week. Oh my God, it's my faith. They take really good care. I've gone to the opening in Milan and opening in Paris when I got engaged, and it was amazing.

00:49:23:09 - 00:49:26:01
Unknown
Honestly, their design, I hate you and their food is so good.

00:49:26:01 - 00:49:38:16
Unknown
The new build look that you would ban. Oh my God, these tiny skinny rat houses. Yes, this is the long. You know what? I'm getting tired. I want to see shotguns in New Orleans, not Nashville, honey. And I don't even like going to New Orleans that much.

00:49:38:16 - 00:49:54:05
Unknown
They belong. They're not in here. You know what else? I'm tired of? These all black houses. See, I think you knew all black, right? If you do a cedar shake roof, copper gutters, and it's maybe black fox. So a dark brunet brown instead of like, a caviar black with light stone. There's a way to get around and go more brunet than black.

00:49:54:07 - 00:49:55:16
Unknown
Yes, I like that.

00:49:55:18 - 00:49:58:19
Unknown
Would you tell a friend to move here right now?

00:49:58:21 - 00:50:24:06
Unknown
You know Nashville is not a W2 city. Nashville is very much a creative. You own a business or entrepreneur. I would tell you to move here if you're ready to get to work and if you want to create something. And I love this city too, I would tell you to move here because we're still on this incline right now, that if you do invest in real estate and you talk to someone like me who will give you the ins and outs where I can tell you where to buy, you can still make a lot of money and be successful, I would say that, but I wouldn't be like, tell them to move to Broadway because

00:50:24:06 - 00:50:37:23
Unknown
they're just going to be a drunk mess and waste a lot of money and be a be poor. It's a waste all their money. It's very easy to move to Nashville and go down the wrong path. Well, I live like Forest Hills, Oak Hill area, and I live on a little bit of acreage over there, and it's very peaceful, but I'm

00:50:37:23 - 00:50:39:13
Unknown
still at two Chainz, a little Wayne on Friday night.

00:50:39:13 - 00:50:56:05
Unknown
I was at Kacey Musgraves last night. I mean, I'm still out and about. Yeah, exactly. You got to have discipline, though, because it's it's easy to move here and kind of go crazy. I would say move to Nashville if you want to create something and you believe in yourself, as gay as that sounds as gay is, that sounds okay.

00:50:56:10 - 00:50:57:20
Unknown
Before we wrap up,

00:50:58:01 - 00:51:03:04
Unknown
Why would you say it's one thing a small business could do this week to just change the game for them?

00:51:03:06 - 00:51:16:21
Unknown
Honestly, lean into humor and trends right now because people want to be able to relate. You're you're already I think the stat was you already have a one third enchant. Someone's going to follow a business account. So if you can turn it and add some, eat those to it, some emotion. Connect as a human and give it a soul.

00:51:17:03 - 00:51:34:10
Unknown
Give it a story like a fun story. Then I'm going to be able to connect with that rather than just a business account. I love. Give it soul, baby. Give it soul. So where can people find you? Where can they follow you? Honey, my eye is at Brandt Lyons. BRENTLYONS and I own stay on brand. So I'm here in Nashville.
