And it's just a fun I mean, you see my little mark like it's just a fun game to play to be like, of course, I want to buy another company. Uh, and having seven companies, there is a lot of individuals who are like, well, how do you run seven companies? And I think that's the really great distinction is I own seven companies.
I don't run seven companies. I have I travel back and forth between the east coast in the west coast of time. I love to travel. And so most of the asset allocation is invested in my companies, and I know where you take care yourself. There is no amount of money in this world that is worth your health, time with your loved ones or sacrificing your values.

Bunny skin network of ten plus million dollars, most of which is around her businesses.
And he had several companies over the years, started when he was essentially A A Young lad teenager and has invested some in some real estate sense as well into some primary resources and then does have a little bit in the market and plays a little game with herself and her financial adviser to see how well he does, investing her on money with inside of her businesses and growing numbers is what the financial advisor does. So gonna a great a kind of story, but a lot of lot of great nuggets dropped in this episode and A A lot of great lesson. So without any further delay, let's get right in the episode with bunny. But if you want to just give us a about your background.
what up to you now? I background versus what i'm up to now. So background is I was a stand woman and model and left that to pursue a uh, master degree in counseling and psychology.
I grew up a third generation entrepreneur and maths generation entrepreneurs. Only thing I didn't want to be as an entrepreneur yet. Here we are. So today I own um seven companies and in the past twenty years i've had sixteen companies total. So yeah and now I do mostly business coaching full time wow.
I can't wait to to get into all the details of the courage vector in the journey of getting, what did you say, sixteen or sixty companies.
You have sixteen companies, nineteen years.
Sixteen comes nineteen years. wow. Before we do that.
what you're network today north of ten mail that was a IT was a great question to ask because you really sit down and and know your numbers. But that's that's IT. I was shocking to me, not necessarily shocking. But you know when you put IT all together, it's a great number to achieve, especially as a woman. And so i'm super proud that my companies have that and know where onna get into where that comes from the yeah so thank you for asking.
Yeah, congrats. So high level. What's the breakup of of the assets they took you to that ten million? I mean how much in between you know high level asset class betwen real state market investments, your businesses eeta?
Oh, it's it's mostly the businesses and then the rest is real estate. Um and this is such a great question because I was having this conversation, we have a tech company that i'm gonna selling and we have i've been talking to some people um that have moved down a protei go for the tax advantages of that. And we were looking at buying a property in preter.
Y O. And I had an opportunity to buy another company. It's like, do I want to buy a house in preterm, put the money into what would be fourth house? Or do I want to buy another asset producing company? And it's just a fun.
I mean, you see my little mark like it's just a fun game to play to be like, of course, I want to buy another company a and having seven companies, there is a lot of individuals who are like, how do you run seven companies? And I think that's the really great distinction, is I own seven companies. I don't run seven companies.
I have three kids. I travel back and forth between the east coast. In the west coast of time. I love to travel. And so most of the asset allocation is invested in my companies, and I know where we can get into this little bit more.
But when I first started into this wealth journey, I would take the money from my company and invested in the stockmarket, which is what most people do right, is like here's an investment strategy will put IT into an investment vehicle. More of you think about that. You're taking money from your company and investing IT in the possibility of other people's companies, and you don't get the tax advantage that you do in investing the money back into your companies.
And so when you would look at like kind of the map of what I have right now, IT looks a little convoluted from a wealth flow perspective, but I know exactly what's going on and exactly where the money is going. And it's going back into the acceleration in the growth of my companies that I own one hundred percent of or two of my companies I own fifty one percent of VS putting into the stock market where I am owning a fraction of a percentage of that company. And so I may get eight to twelve percent back in the stock market, and i'm getting two hundred and thirty four percent back out of investing IT back into my companies.
Plus I get the tax right offs of investing that money back into the companies. And so that's the really the game that I like to play as I am investing in the stock market. Most of my stock investments, though, are back into my companies.
And so when you kind of look at in that way, it's companies that I own one hundred percent of, and you know you had me fill out this pretty comprehensive like split looking at that. And out of that, i'd say seventy five percent of that wealth is all wrapped up into my companies in that investment as well as actual company worth. And then twenty percent of IT is in a realistic and then five percent is like more security.
So I would say traditional vehicles that are are low risk and then five percent in speculations. So you're talking in crypto and other kinds of stuff like that. And I look at that is when people are like, well, how's your rist tolerance? As an entrepreneur say, betting on yourself is the least risky thing that you can do.
But I do know a lot of people who would look at my portfolio, be like the fact that you don't have more money in stocks or more money in real state or more money in other vehicles that are less risky, you know, would not agree with me. And i've had these conversations with other like minded entrepreneurs, and it's you. You get to decide what's the most risk and what your rest tolerance is.
And I feel like betting on myself is going to be the least risky one hundred percent of the time. But maybe i'm wrong. I also feel like i'm diversified across seven companies at this point. And so even with the election coming in recession, all of this kind of stuff is in the talk. I feel like, you know, i'm still the best that yeah yeah no.
I love IT. So walk us back a little bit when you made that kind of switch, where you were investing essentially in the market was something that happened where you said, hey, omen and actually just continue to bet on myself and bet in private businesses or walk us through that journey that you made .
that flip and that switch yeah how me on a couple things happened so one is I had a financial adviser r that I was paying and I was sitting there. I I not going to forget this like sitting there at the table, like here's what your money has done the last year. And you know, i'm really good with my my numbers. And i'm like, well, here's so much money I gave you, here's so much money you made, here's how much money went directly to you, here's how much my money actually grew.
And then at the other side of the table, I have my company's pio, right? I have the baLance sheet and I have the money that sitting in the company and I have the money that I took out of the company to put into my investments that then my financial advisor is telling me how much that money is made versus i'm looking at the growth year over year. My piano make that makes sense to me.
Why am I taking money out of this vehicle is making two hundred percent. You're over year and putting IT in a vehicle that is making twelve percent. And my financial advisor wants me to be thrilled about that. Plus they're also taking this money out of Blake the the pot.
And i'm like the so basically, if you look at and you run an analysis on IT and if I took that same money and captured in my business and grew that where we would be in five years, IT was astronomical. And there's a lot of different things that available as a small business owner and and you know a small business owner is anywhere from, you know hundreds of thousands of dollars to eleven million dollars. And I think a lot of people forget about that.
So like a small business isn't just somebody who is opened up uh, a store out of their house. And so when you own several small businesses and you're able to grow them, and for me, I actually was able to build like an admin hubbs to decrease my Operating expenses because i'm sharing that admin across my companies. IT was so great to be able to put that on a autopilot and figure out and dial that system in to make out a machine for my freedom versus outsourcing that to somebody who has, I don't know, let's say, one hundred other people, that their main job is to make my money work harder than I do.
And my god, i'd rather be more in control and focus on that metric and be the only person focusing on that metric for me, just giving this person my money. And and IT you've ever been to wealth management. I laugh at this because you you go to love management office and you see the cars that are parked in the parking lot, and then you walk into this building, which the overheads, probably eighteen grand, twenty grand a month right to be in this building um depending on what kind of office IT is.
And you see all the furnishings and stuff, they're putting a lot of energy and money into making IT appear that they're really good with money. But at the same time, like in. Order or to be really good with money. All IT takes is to make great investments. And rather than jumping through all of these hoops and putting up all these facades, like just show me that you're making a positive return equal to are Better than I can do with my money and they could IT.
And so that's when I really realize that, like weight, this is not efficient and giving somebody the money that i've earned from my business to invest in other businesses that are less profitable than my business, that doesn't make sense. Meanwhile, i'm also watching them drive A A vehicle that you know is not a great asset to be investing. So judging, you can tell me i'm so judging, but other than the flash factor, I was like that, you know at least drive a super car that's gonna a return on investment. Sorry, you're good.
I've walked that same path before a long time ago. So I get IT. I'm curious though as you as you went through this analysis is what did you have only one business at that time? Or he had you started ready making private company investments already outside the first one.
So I started my first company when I was nineteen, and I sold that when I was twenty one. And so I think about this time I was probably twenty five. And so you know, I had gone through and i'll share a dirty little secret with you in a second.
But like I had gone through, you know, some of the traditional business ownership. And at that point, I think I still only had one business that I was focusing. I was super reluctant to entrepreneur ship for a really long time because I thought success was going to school, getting a degree and you having an office.
And like, I thought that was success. I really didn't have the perspective that I do now with having a heart condition and having a family, that time choosing to do what I want when I want to do IT with my time, that success to me, I think I was still caught up in all of the external aspects of IT. And so I still, twenty five, was not working my companies a full time.
And when I had a paycheck and when I had A J, L, B, obviously the vehicles for investing from the company, right? So they are giving you the four one k, they're taking that money at your paycheck. They are matching that. And so is kind of in my head's still decide hostel that I was looking at. Okay, you're ready for my dirty little secret.
absolutely. We'll hear IT.
okay. So I still have a wealth advisor that has like a little tiny part of money, and the reason that I do that is for my motivation. So i'll get my portfolio review at the end of the year. And as long as i'm beating that mother, her like, I like, yes, i'm still winning. So is the most ridiculous thing ever.
And now everybody you know that listens to this podcast notes, but I still do IT and like hill text me, he will call me and he know he knows what he knows what the companies are doing and he's like, when can we set up a meeting and talk about bringing small assets over? And i'm like all you're cute. No, you you just keep what you ve got and see where that's that. And i'm a keep beat you score board. And does .
he know that .
he's the sidewalk? We don't need to tell him he's like the side side sidewalk. He doesn't he doesn't need to know that.
So I just thought that was really funny. And though because i've had taken i've never heard of financial advise, hopefully he doesn't listen to this. I don't need them to know your car does not no, he doesn't.
He does that and he'll share. He he's sweet my aspect like he'll share. I just had an article in ink magazine like he shared IT on his linked in page and was like, so proud of my clients and i'm like things but .
study yeah i've never heard of a financial adviser or used that way though. So I could have the you boring .
it's score boring, you know like and we have entrepreneurial friends that we discussed the numbers and we go over that kind of stuff, and I master mind. And so, you know, but there is there there was no other way for me to kind of look at the amount of growth that I have had as a woman in wealth and as a business owner and as an entrepreneur from like my past life. So leaving that tiny part of money there um in watching IT grow in comparison this new way of thinking over here that's like what motivate is mean is like this this is the life that was safe right? Like air quotes and the way society tells you to do, like make money and give IT to somebody whose job is to make you more money and i'm like, yeah i'm doing that but I am that person so yeah do you charge .
yourself a fee? Absolutely 23 absolutely .
absolutely。 Like we have a whole banking system set up so that um you know that I could talk tax strategy for days because I think that that's that's a great thing to do is to consult for one of your companies and set up a consulting company and consult for your companies. So yeah that that's a fun little story on one of my the sales of one of my companies if you wanted to get .
into that 是 yeah yeah right。
So try to follow this please. So I had a company that I had two business partners in, and the business partners is decided that they didn't want to be in the company anymore. And so like in the darkness of night, you know, you can make IT as dramatic as you want.
They wrote an email to my business lawyer and said, like, we're out my business lawyer called me and he's like, you know, they can't legally do this like you have to release them from the partnership according your Operating a room and to tell me what you want to do and so I said, well, will give me a week and so I I got a couple buyers lined up for the company and I got a time line liner. But I got a valuation and I went to one of the buyers and I said, he hears what I am willing to do because the company has a ton of debt. Great to start up company.
I said if you're willing to, uh, buy the company, what I would recommend doing is setting up a new company with a similar name. And I will sell you the positive assets of the company. I will keep the losses.
And there was a couple of reasons I did this. So I let my business partners out of the partnership. I took the losses and I ran those losses from the company against my revenue from my other companies.
I sold just the assets to the new owner and the intellectual property for the business model that we had. I transferred the asset that we had as far as the building to the new owner, and he ended up buying that building. And then I charged from a separate company.
I charged her for consulting. So rather than my business partners being able to come back in summer for what I made from the company, which was just losses because I didn't actually sell the company, I kept the company and the losses for tax reason. And then I got the sale money as a consultancy through another one of my companies, plus IT was a coworking space.
So I worked out, uh, couple years of rent that I was able to use for that company and able to use and having an office that are discounted rate. And so I was just so good. I was so good, and my mom, who is an entrepreneur minded individual, was like, how did you even think about doing that? And I was like, well, I wanted to protect the new owner, right? I wanted to protect my revenue.
And one of the best things about our new startup is all the losses, and you run those against your other companies in your portfolio. So how could I make this a win when win while also making sure that my business partners could not touch IT? Because if they were like, hey, you know, we want a portion of the sale, i'm like, cool, a portion of the sale is negative four hundred and eighty like you you want a portion of the losses because, you know that's that's what IT is.
And I IT was amazing because I got to keep not only the money that I invested in the business and you know, IT was at a negative, but I also got to keep their money that they invested in the business as a negative and write IT all off as mine. So I felt really good about that. But that's that's the tax stuff and the business stuff you know other people don't really follow. And i'm like, yes, I am absolutely here for IT yeah.
it's really unique and creative solution. Uh, what seemed like probably A A A small problem initially that could have got ten bigger had did not come .
up .
with some great partners want to leave .
IT was a dumper fire yeah yeah. This is just reminder number one thousand four hundred and two, to make sure you have a concrete Operating agreement.
So i'm curious from kind of a growth standpoint, are you mainly doing acquisitions at this point? Are you still do new business startups?
Oh mean, you ask such a hard question. I think the number you did not ask this question, but i'm going to start with this answer. I think the number one thing that has accelerated my wealth has been focused.
And I used to, just like every two years, started new company. And when getting into this tech company in the amount of investment that it's taken, capital, energy, time, i'm committed to not starting anything new that would require any more of my time and energy. So the the company that I was contemplating buying the storage company that's already got an Operator in place.
So IT, IT only requires my money. That's that's cool. So would I start a new company today? no.
Would I acquire a company that already has the system in place and that I think would be a good acquisition for positive cash let flow? absolutely. And the other thing that i'm really focused on is helping other people be able to do this.
And so the only things that i'm focused on right now are the tech company speaking, which is what we're doing right now. And then I have two individual clients that I coach um and i'll take on those two individual clients and I will you know work with them and have them be my focus. Other than that, everything else is family time because i'm keeping my work week around or less than .
like eight hours a week for the whole week for the whole week. That is amazing. How do you baLance IT all?
There is no such thing as baLance like baLanced bs. There's just seasons. I have a seven month like you want to. Figure out what your priorities are. Have a baby.
You know, I have an amazing support team, and I could probably make a ton more money if I did more things myself and I worked more. But i'm never gonna regret prioritising my kids. And I I have to remember at the end of the day why I started these companies and IT wasn't to make ten million dollars.
And in fact, you know, when you look at IT, a million dollars is really not that much money anymore. And so you know when you focus on the impact and when you focus on the priorities, the other really everything else kind of takes care of itself. The other really cool thing is the less that i've worked, the more in demand I am.
So I become like the roots crease of business coaches, the verses the warmer because i'm not available. You know like the hour that I jammed out prior of this podcast in the thirty minutes that we're going na go is all uncommitted to today. And my clients and my business partners super respect that and super appreciate that because what you're going to get from me in the thirty minute podcast is gonna goal.
But if I had worked eight hours and then recorded this podcast, you know, it's nine thirty at night here like that would have been absolute crap. And so when you talk about evaluation, you have to talk about what somethings things worth. And if I was working forty hours a week, or even twenty hours a week, my, my evaluation would be less because I D be dead, losing my energy, my time and probably my money.
So now that I have the system where my money is working harder from, then I am and then I can employ team and I can support a team. I'd rather have my money support their families. While i'm spending more time with my family, then me be breaking in all of this additional money.
I love that you've set up systems in place to get yourself to this physic where when you have a family and you want to be able to support them financially, we are also able to be there is really incredibly been able to build this now with your are companies that you own, are they similar industries are in the same industry complemental .
industries? yes. Um it's a great question. So I wish I could draw on a White board for a podcast. But that's not technology that's currently been invented yet.
So if you look at a road that's in front of you, i'd like to imagine at the end of the road, it's like a vision, right? So that's your vision. So that's your nervous.
A this is accomplish. This is your purpose for being here in this lifetime. And if it's a completely shit, you don't have to get out of bed.
And so each one of my companies are a car on that road. And so they're all driving towards the same vision of making this world a Better place using my unique skills, which is coaching business psychology. And around that are my core values.
So those are the road markers like the the bumpers on the side of the road that I I want sacrifice. I won't go outside of those and that's how I view everything. So while most everything that I own is in a coaching products week, I also have uh non profit that educates um companies like airlines, hotels and restaurant groups around service animal educate.
And so while that's not directly coaching, it's still using my skills and abilities speaking in teaching and working with companies to be able to make the world a Better place. And so I feel like I get to show up and do the two things. I am really good at coaching and speaking in every single company.
Now the storage company that will buy, i'm not gond be coaching or speaking and that so that's just ownership to kind of fuel the rest of of our assets and to feel the rest of this mission. But ultimately its still driving towards making the world a Better place. And so yeah I I think that's the way that I think about IT so that my brain doesn't feel like completely overwhelmed.
And if you look at my calendar, instead of having appointments, I themes, we've talked about time blocking till we're blue in the face as far as productivity, but I can break everybody's calendar up into seven areas. And for me, I have outsource, automated, delegated and eliminated basically anything beyond four areas. And I think that's how we should think about the companies that we own and that the time on our calendar is what's the highest return on investment for you being able to spend your time in your energy in this place.
And that's that's where I think about with the companies that I own. The highest return on investment for me is coaching and speaking. It's not sitting in a zoo m meeting for an hour and a half discussing stuff that IT doesn't really matter.
How long do you think IT took you to get to this area of identifying your expertise and being able to really capitalize on the growth that's possible from from just focusing on your niche and and what you're excEllent that .
hard of me wants to tell you. I'll let you know when I figure that out. And there is another part of me that's like probably ly when I was diagnosed the heart condition, right? Like when you're told, hey, you're not going out of kids and you you might not make into your twenty first birthday because you have this heart condition, you get really greedy and selfish with your time and you're like, you know, you've got a teacher who is like, you need to finish this assignment or you're going to to have and you're like, what do I care?
I have a hard condition like i'm going surfing and I did and I played this game with myself that had nothing to do with a financial advisor at the that was like, you know, how can I get at school? And so I went to summer school because summer school was six weeks of classes. And then you were done with that class VS taking its september to december or september to and so you could take, I think IT was two or three classes in summer school and be done in six weeks.
So by the time I got to my june or year of high school, I only had two classes on my like schedule that I needed to attend in order to graduate. By the time I got to my senior year, I had zero classes, but I had one class that I just put on my schedule so that I can continue to play sports. And so he gave me this mindset of, like, how can I put in this minimum viable effort and get a maximum return? And it's funny that you asked that question because I don't think I realized what I was doing at that point, but IT made sense.
Like, why would you spend six months or eight months or nine months in class if you could spend six weeks? And I also found out that I could do the same thing with college. So in high school in california, you could go to college for free, college courses for free as a high school. Er and so I was taking night class, going to junior college and going to community college classes and just banking up these hours. So by the time I got to my university, I was able to get three minors in two majors and I really didn't have to do that much work.
And so I think that's a mindset shift to be like, how can I put in this effort and get maximum turn on investment? And so why would I spend an hour crafting out, play in email automation sequence and typing IT all up when my maximum return on investment is speaking? And so I ve got our worth of content on my youtube channel, on my podcast and and my coaching like recordings that somebody can go and listen to.
And then with the help of A, I basically create that content. So all I have to do in any of my companies to show up and coach and speak, and everything else in the company can be made from that. But if I sit down and i'm trying to create the captions and i'm trying to create the automation and i'm trying to schedule stuff and i'm trying to schedule people in my calendar, you know, j asked me, like, did you feel this this thing out? No, somebody else filled IT out and they ask me questions, and I was just driving down the road to answering them. And so it's like that that's the magic is to really unapologetically be confident in your highest value in a place where IT does make a positive return on investment.
What's unique about your approach is that it's it's the exact opposite of lazy you you might think old limited hours, but you're its maximum productivity within limited hours so that your maximum output basically across the board in your entire life, which is, yes, which is amazing, really adorable. I love I you crafted your life that way. So so what does the future hold from here then?
It's a great question. And I want to pick back on something you just said in the aspect that on average, and because I own a that does organizational psychology and well being, I know this, uh, the average employee works fourteen percent of their work with teen percent people. That means they show up on a monday and work about five hours.
And then the rest of the week, they're worthless. So like we could all probably do a good eight hour work week and fight that standard. Like disagree with me, i'm actually working more than the average y five working eight hours and there are working fourteen percent of a forty hour week.
What is the. I'm going to get back to your question, what does the future hold? I think we wanted adopt. I've always wanted to adopt ince. I lived an actor, and so I think that we want to explore what adoption would look like. A i'm going back to do uh shark swim for my birthday in a waahoo o and see some friends there in october. Er and then we have a to rec a retreat that i'm hosting in january.
And beyond that a lot more speaking and a lot more taking this incredible life that I have lived and sharing IT with others in whatever way is gonna the most impact, and downloading as much of this into my kids as they desire to take back out into the world. Because they are, they are the highest return on the investment that I have figured out in my entire life. More than they'll last in their impact on this world is gona last much longer than any amount of money I could make in this lifetime.
And I see that. And so that's the highest return on investment for me. But beyond that, like I think the more that we can invest in this present moment, in being present in in deep conversations like this, he that that's where the maximum return is. So see the world travel more like have fun. I think that's that's IT.
It's it's really interesting you answer that question that way because I assume you're going to answer what's what's next in terms of your businesses and that worth goal. And you immediately turned to your family, your passion and your interest and experiences you wanted.
Yeah because like I think we forget, I think like if you have listened and nothing and gotten this far in the podcast here, here's the part where I wanted turn the radio up to which congratulations. If you've listened to nothing and that got through, remember why you build a business.
Remember why you're making the money, you not making the money to see IT in your bank account like you're making the money hopefully for a higher purpose than that. And for me, the entire reason that I got into business was to build of business very similar to the way that my parents model IT. For me, where they they basically built a business to support their family.
And I think that we get caught up in the building, in the scaling and the growing. And could I be at one hundred billion by now? I'm absolutely positive. I could be.
But I would cost to to forget these little faces pressed up against the window that, you know I I kind of barely see and they're completely outsource to other people and camps. And like i'm not judging around that, but I mean a CEO mom mastermind for seven, eight, nine figure business owner. And you know, we've had this discussion and my unnegotiable is outsourcing my kids.
I have no judgment over anybody else doing this, but my non negotiable is outsourcing my kids. And so if there is not enough time on my calendar for my kids and I can't have my husband watch my kids or I can't have my mom watch my kids and then i'm cutting the work back because i'm I therefore, IT is not going to go on my tombstone to be like he was a great boss. SHE was a great business on her that doesn't go on tombstones.
People who goes on to stones is mother, wife, the daughter. That's what goes on tombstones, and that's what I care about. And so for me, it's been really important to remember that to remember why i'm building a business.
And and it's so unique to my perspective that the more I focused on that actually, the more money i've made like the less I care about the amount of money i've just focused on profit margins. I've just focused on building healthy businesses that people love to work for and the great products are produced and the profits have taken care of themselves, the bank accounts have taken care of themselves. And i've also had the benefit of losing IT all twice and being able to rebuild IT.
And you know, I told somebody the other day that's like, I just want to make a million dollars. I was like, I wish I could. Hey, and everybody in the world, a million dollars. So you can see that that's not a metric to go out in the world with to make a million dollars. That that doesn't matter the money, doesn't matter the impact, your journey, the life.
Because if I gave you a million dollars, but you didn't learn the principles about how you gave impact to this world and made a difference in this world and served in in reciprocated value, a million dollars worth of value. And guess what, you're gna lose the million dollars, then you going to want IT again, like the the million dollars represents a million pieces of value that you put out this world. And so that's why I answer that question that way, is because as long as I focus on the value, as long as I focus on why i'm here and delivering on that promise and delivering that value into this world, the money is going to, you know, rain in in my experience.
And even if IT doesn't, i'm not gonna regret any day that I live, that i'm focus on my kids, and I am focused on being the best person that I can be for them in making this world Better for them. Like I will never, ever regret that. But I will absolutely regret leaving the piles of cash and a shadow of a memory of their mom. Do that are more Better to say.
I think I just want to say, am I don't know what behavioral psychology wizard ry are doing, but I am transponder and you just .
can keep going you're .
right on the speaking. I don't want to ask questions. You just .
go I know well.
funny I appreciate you sharing that let's rap with some rapid fire questions so you can get back to to those kids uh, what's the most expensive pair of shoes or pants as you purchase on .
my h um like pants it's probably seventy box from express because i'm six for three and those are the only pants that are long enough. I don't even know if expressed as a thing anymore. I know I don't think they have closed.
I think it's shut down. Uh, maybe i'm wrong about that. And then the most expensive pair of shoes that I own, our coach shoes that I got when I was modeling um so I didn't pay anything for them. So other than that, probably a custom pair of trucks Taylors that um I actually paid for and their spider man checked Taylors that I customize from my husband because he is a grown as adult that dresses .
like as well my wife can provide ate anyway, moving on. What about the most expensive car tage .
you purges and my f one fifty like fully customized f one fifty lariat crime, like everything that you could possibly get. And I remember going to the dealership and the guy asked, like, if I wanted to, uh, wait for. He either said my husband or my parents a to get there and I was like, no, you want.
I like went across the street and wanted to get like a duffle bag for a cash. But the best won't do that. And so IT ended up just being like cashier track. So what was that loaded .
to run like hundred and hundred and twenty. So nowadays .
IT was IT probably was one hundred funny like in in today's cash. Um but when I bought IT, I was probably funny like funny one.
Oh wow, a bit go. This was a bit go.
Now my husband crashed IT. My husband has red two of my f one fifties, an f one fifty lyrics and an f one fifty king runs. And other than a platform, those are the two most expensive f one fifteen you can get.
So we went and bought just a base model and knock on wood. He's had IT since two thousand nineteen and he hasn't acted. So next may i'll be going back to that if one fifty dealership and getting probably a lario or a plata and then i'll call you back and be like I just dropped ninety seven. I I think I prit out it's like ninety seven thousand eight hundred for everything that I want .
on my f one fifty. All right, get away for IT.
I know how unexciting is that, though.
that it's a truck. It's all good. I like my truck too. What's a key less and learn from childhood.
agree with the haters and move on. Like, just don't don't put any fuel into the fire. I distinctly remember that I came home and I told my dad that somebody had said something mean to mean, he goes, agree with them and all stop, and they did. And so, you know, applied that now a social media or after, like, thank you for being so kind and then move on.
What's the domestic that you ever ways of money on?
Why did my husband be the first thing that cleans him? Man, do you have .
to .
edit that part out? I, no, it's fine. You can keep IT.
It's direct truck. It's all good.
We get IT. No, it's the financial adviser. It's the financial adviser. The thing, yeah.
what's something that you spent way too much money on? I don't .
regret travel, first class a travel, like luxury travel, the hotels, the plane, all of that to see my father, whose six foot five and disabled veteran, and i'm so grateful for his service, be able to actually be comfortable flying to europe and flying a aai um that that's amazing and so grateful that's probably travel and hotels um are the one thing that you would know in this comes from one of my friends.
One of my friends had like SHE came out to sana mona go to visit me and he was staying in a hotel. SHE came to my hotel. SHE has like a luv bag and a gucci phone case and she's like, i'm staying in this x hotel and you're staying in this hotel.
You're in a hoody and like shorts. You look like you could be sleeping on the street, but you're in a more luxurious hotel than I am. You're spending five times as much china hotel room and like that's probably the one area that you would look at and be like, oh wow, you know bunnies not hurting because everything else you asked me like shocked Taylors and f one fifty. But when I roll up in my hotel and you see what kind of flights I take, i'm going to be coffee in my checked Taylors and my f one fifty.
I love IT any any hotel that's the most memorable of your favourite that you've stayed so far.
Um okay, the royal hawaii and White kiki and the shelbourne and doublin um ireland and the Brown in denver, colorado is super haunted. Bring diet cope with you. I'm not to explain why and let's see the caviar oh my god, sh, i'll give them a huge shout out in Virginia a beach um there is eighty eight rooms.
IT was built in nineteen and twenty seven. IT is probably the most historical hotel i've ever stayed at and they have just first class service. You feel like you are you feel like Franks and ultra or Grace Kelly could walk around the corner like at any moment. Um so different put that on your less the caviar in Virginia beach.
Are there any out there that you're still in your book list? You're looking forward to stay in that.
See, every time I put something on my bucket list, I just scheduled at this point my life.
right right. You check IT .
off quick. I do, I do um the thing that left on my bucket list and this is for my dad is the masters so it's not a hotel but it's the masters um taking him in having that experience and I think that that's one of the things that i'll continue to work towards. Is those experiences or are those experiences? So was there a particular hotel that um I have on my bucket list?
Probably not because i've stayed at the ones that I want to maybe the most use. I have not been to the motives and um there's like a saint regions and uh ricks karlson that has those overwater bungall's. So you know we'll put that there in. The only reason I haven't gone is because I have a service dog and it's like a twenty four hour .
flight and just not interested. What's a closely hill belief that you want to have that you recently changed your mind?
none. Oh, the sky is blue because of the ocean because, you know, it's just happened this weekend. I told my friend's dad that and he googled IT and he sent me an email with like proof that my belief was wrong.
And I genuinely thought that the sky was blue because IT was a reflection of the ocean. And thirty six I have spent thirty six years and IT was exactly yesterday that I unlearned that the sky is blue because of the ocean. And I also have neil the grass is to thank for that because I watch the whole youtube um IT was fascinating.
Go look at up, uh, because he actually explains why sunsets are the color that they are as well. So that was a closely held belief that I would have bet money on and I would have lost. And I have bel dad to think for that. So thanks, duty.
So in any last words of advice, for somebody who's just start out another journey.
