3

: 00:00:11

I'm your host, Amanda Paolicelli, and

And if I don't get to your

question, radiant icons, no worries.

9

: 00:00:30

I am saving your questions for specific

episodes later on in the season, because

10

: 00:00:34

they fit with the topic that will be

discussed, but for all the questions

11

: 00:00:39

that didn't fit into a category or topic

that is coming up later on in season two.

12

: 00:00:45

We're answering them here together live.

13

And you guys sent in some

really great questions.

16

: 00:00:52

But these questions are fun.

17

: 00:00:54

They're lighthearted.

18

: 00:00:55

They challenge me.

19

: 00:00:56

It's, it's good.

20

: 00:00:57

It's a nice little bunch here today.

ever merch drop on February 13th.

30

: 00:01:31

It has been months in the making.

31

: 00:01:34

Literally my blood, sweat, tears.

32

: 00:01:36

I am so excited to finally, finally share

the Radiant Love collection with you guys.

33

: 00:01:43

I truly cannot wait to see you

34

: 00:01:48

And make sure to treat yourself

with something iconic because

35

: 00:01:50

you deserve it, Radiant Icons.

36

: 00:01:52

And now Let's get to the tea, shall we?

37

: 00:01:55

I mean the best part.

38

: 00:01:56

Let's get into it.

39

: 00:01:58

Are you ready, Radiant icons?

40

: 00:01:59

Because your tea time

sesh is starting now.

41

: 00:02:02

I just want to say before I

get into the first question!

42

: 00:02:06

The first question for this Tea Time Sesh!

43

: 00:02:10

You guys know me so well.

44

: 00:02:13

The first question on this

hotline is, Amanda, what are

45

: 00:02:16

your top three celebrity crushes?

46

: 00:02:18

I think I know one at least.

47

: 00:02:20

Well, if you guys aren't following me

on Instagram, then you may not know

48

: 00:02:25

this because I don't speak about my love

for Andrew Garfield on the podcast.,

49

: 00:02:30

which is kind of, like, really surprising.

50

: 00:02:35

Because if you scroll all the way

down to, like, some of my first

51

: 00:02:38

ever TikToks, It's like Andrew

Garfield coded like I love that man.

52

: 00:02:43

Um, so if you don't know my

love for Andrew Garfield,

53

: 00:02:48

I have a resurgence for it.

54

: 00:02:50

I'm in my Andrew Garfield era again.

55

: 00:02:52

So Andrew Garfield is definitely

one of my celebrity crushes.

56

: 00:02:55

He's tied with Lando Norris.

57

: 00:02:57

I don't think that's a surprise to

anyone listening to this podcast.

58

: 00:03:01

And then my third one.

59

: 00:03:03

Oh, that is so hard you guys ,I would

say probably Glenn Powell I love me some

60

: 00:03:09

Glenn Powell, I'm not gonna lie, so.

61

: 00:03:12

Yeah, I think it's Andrew Garfield and

Lando Norris tied, and then Glenn Powell.

62

: 00:03:19

My celebrity crushes are a little

bit everywhere, but you know what?

63

: 00:03:22

That's me.

64

: 00:03:23

And yeah, Andrew Garfield,

if you ever want to call me,

65

: 00:03:26

that's okay with me as well.

66

: 00:03:27

Okay, let's get to the next question.

67

: 00:03:29

Have you ever had an embarrassing

or unexpected crush moment?

68

: 00:03:33

When I was in fourth grade, there

was this, oh my god, I can't believe

69

: 00:03:36

I'm like, actually admitting this.

70

: 00:03:38

I have not told anyone.

71

: 00:03:40

This is so wild.

72

: 00:03:41

Okay.

73

: 00:03:42

So like, when I was in fourth

grade, there was this guy named Ben.

74

: 00:03:46

He had red hair, and I was so into him.

75

: 00:03:51

Like, literally so into him.

76

: 00:03:54

And I was not popular in middle school.

77

: 00:03:57

I wasn't even popular in junior high.

78

: 00:03:59

I wasn't popular in high school.

79

: 00:04:00

I just wasn't popular.

80

: 00:04:01

Okay, you guys, like, I was the theater

girl who thought she was gonna be famous.

81

: 00:04:05

And, um, I had the biggest crush on

this guy, Ben, and he liked basketball.

82

: 00:04:12

And so for his birthday, I

made him a homemade card that

83

: 00:04:17

was the shape of a basketball.

84

: 00:04:19

I think I said something like happy

birthday from your, like, Secret admirer.

85

: 00:04:24

He decides to tell the teacher that he got

this card- shows the card to Miss Reiney.

86

: 00:04:30

That was my teacher in fourth grade.

87

: 00:04:32

I don't even know why he was

complaining, to be honest.

88

: 00:04:33

Because if someone gave me a card

for my birthday for my secret

89

: 00:04:36

admirer, I would have loved it.

90

: 00:04:38

So I don't know what was Ben's problem,

but he told the teacher and the

91

: 00:04:42

teacher then makes an announcement

in front of the entire class that we

92

: 00:04:48

don't need to be like giving cards

to people and saying secret admirers.

93

: 00:04:51

Like we don't need to

be doing all of this.

94

: 00:04:52

Like, excuse me.

95

: 00:04:55

What is this?

96

: 00:04:55

I put so much time and effort in it.

97

: 00:04:57

Why are you going to

embarrass me like that?

98

: 00:04:59

Again?

99

: 00:04:59

No one knew it was me.

100

: 00:05:01

I mean, actually, I really don't

know if anyone knew it was me.

101

: 00:05:04

But I never, I never

said anything about it.

102

: 00:05:06

And also Ben, if you

are listening to this.

103

: 00:05:08

Well, why did you have to do me like that?

104

: 00:05:10

You could have just like

thrown the card out.

105

: 00:05:12

Okay.

106

: 00:05:12

You didn't have to tell the teacher.

107

: 00:05:14

Like, I don't understand.

108

: 00:05:15

I don't understand why you

did that, but like, whatever.

109

: 00:05:17

We have a story to tell.

110

: 00:05:18

I cannot believe I've

said that on this podcast.

111

: 00:05:22

That is so crazy.

112

: 00:05:23

Oh my god.

113

: 00:05:26

Good questions, Radiant Icons.

114

: 00:05:27

This is the stuff that

people want to know.

115

: 00:05:29

Um, let's get to the next question.

116

: 00:05:33

What's your most iconic fangirl moment?

117

: 00:05:36

Mm, I have two.

118

: 00:05:37

Okay.

119

: 00:05:38

Recently, it would be the Spanish

Grand Prix and meeting Logan Sargent.

120

: 00:05:43

Absolutely, hands down.

121

: 00:05:45

That was like, One of the most

iconic fangirl moments of my life.

122

: 00:05:49

And then the second one would

be seeing One Direction in

123

: 00:05:53

Tampa for the Where We Are tour.

124

: 00:05:55

Because again, huge Directioner, I

was a Liam girl, and yes, I am still

125

: 00:06:00

mourning, like, please, like, I cannot

talk anymore about One Direction.

126

: 00:06:05

Unless I want to sob, like, I'm literally,

there's a rumor right now that One

127

: 00:06:09

Direction may be having a possible reunion

to honor Liam to do a tribute at the

128

: 00:06:13

Brits, and I literally will crash out.

129

: 00:06:16

I will be so unwell.

130

: 00:06:17

I've been unwell since

I've heard this rumor.

131

: 00:06:20

I, I am not doing okay, you guys.

132

: 00:06:22

I truly am still processing my

grief and mourning Liam because

133

: 00:06:27

he was such a big part of my life.

134

: 00:06:29

So any One Direction memory for me

will be an iconic fangirl moment

135

: 00:06:34

because One Direction raised me.

136

: 00:06:37

Liam Payne is the reason that

I have the professional fangirl

137

: 00:06:41

angle that I have today.

138

: 00:06:42

Like, he truly was the person

that started it for me.

139

: 00:06:46

Liam was my whole entire world, and

so for me whenever I now look back on

140

: 00:06:51

One Direction, I look back on all the

joy they gave me, especially Liam,

141

: 00:06:56

because I looked up to him so much.

142

: 00:06:57

I even wrote a paper,

not even just a paper.

143

: 00:07:01

It was like this whole booklet.

144

: 00:07:02

It was Liam Payne, the, the boy who lives,

I forgot the like subtitle I, I wrote

145

: 00:07:08

for, it was for my eighth grade project.

146

: 00:07:09

I wrote it about Liam Payne because

he made such an impact on my life.

147

: 00:07:13

Those five boys did, but,

Liam was everything to me.

148

: 00:07:16

So when I think of iconic fangirl

moments, I have to mention One Direction.

149

: 00:07:21

Those are some of my

iconic fangirl moments.

150

: 00:07:23

Sorry to get sappy, but, you know,

we gotta be honest and real here.

151

: 00:07:27

It's the Dare to be Iconic

podcast for a reason, you know?

152

: 00:07:29

Alright, next question!

153

: 00:07:31

How proud are you of how far

your radiant icons have been able

154

: 00:07:34

to grow because of your work?

155

: 00:07:36

Ooh, this question makes me emotional.

156

: 00:07:39

Because when I think about you guys,

when I think of my radiant icons, I

157

: 00:07:42

always get emotional because it's

kind of Ooh, these tears are coming!

158

: 00:07:46

Um, whenever I think of you guys and

I see the messages that you send me

159

: 00:07:52

on how dare to be iconic has How it's

impacted your life, how it's transformed

160

: 00:07:57

your life, so on and so forth.

161

: 00:07:59

It like, makes me so happy, and like,

these are happy tears right now.

162

: 00:08:04

But it's also such a surreal feeling,

because this was just a dream that I had

163

: 00:08:08

in my heart that had the courage to go

after it, not knowing if it was going to

164

: 00:08:12

work, even though, deep, deep down, I was

like, this shit's going to work, you know?

165

: 00:08:16

Sometimes it's hard to

keep pushing forward.

166

: 00:08:19

Sometimes it's, it's hard to

keep fighting for a dream.

167

: 00:08:23

And sometimes it does get

discouraging as a young entrepreneur.

168

: 00:08:28

And also just as a young, like 26 year

old girl trying to figure out who she is.

169

: 00:08:32

It's hard putting your heart

out there and sharing your voice

170

: 00:08:37

and being so vulnerable online.

171

: 00:08:39

And I know I chose to do this.

172

: 00:08:43

Especially with Dare to be Iconic

because it is about my life and , to

173

: 00:08:47

see the messages and to hear how

it's helped you in your life.

174

: 00:08:52

No matter what scenario it is, by me

just being me, and by me sharing my

175

: 00:08:56

voice, it makes me so immensely proud.

176

: 00:08:59

And, I love you guys for changing my life,

and for being here, and for supporting me.

177

: 00:09:04

And Kat, I know you sent this

question in, and I'm so proud of you.

178

: 00:09:09

I wanted to give you a special shout out,

because you've sent me a lot of messages

179

: 00:09:13

that truly make my heart so happy.

180

: 00:09:15

And I'm proud of you.

181

: 00:09:17

And I'm proud of all of you guys.

182

: 00:09:18

And I love you guys so much.

183

: 00:09:20

Now I'm going to stop crying

and get to the next question.

184

: 00:09:22

What's a goal you've set for

yourself that scares you a little?

185

: 00:09:26

There is one goal this

year that does scare me.

186

: 00:09:28

It scares me a lot, actually.

187

: 00:09:30

It doesn't even scare me a little,

and it's to deal with a specific

188

: 00:09:34

traumatic instance in my life that

I've been avoiding for seven years.

189

: 00:09:38

the specific traumatic event that I

keep alluding to in a lot of my trauma

190

: 00:09:43

episodes and I made a firm boundary

with myself that I will not talk about

191

: 00:09:47

it because I'm not ready to divulge the

details of that situation, but What I can

192

: 00:09:53

say to answer this question truthfully

and honestly Is that I have made it a

193

: 00:09:59

goal for myself this year in the year

of iconic to Be bold and face this

194

: 00:10:06

trauma head on and actually deal with it

because I have been shying away from it.

195

: 00:10:11

I have been avoiding it.

196

: 00:10:13

And the more I push that shit under the

rug, I know it's gonna bite me in the ass.

197

: 00:10:18

That's just to be completely

frank with you guys.

198

: 00:10:22

I know it will bite me in the

ass if I don't deal with it.

199

: 00:10:25

And it feels like now in 2025, in the year

of Iconic, it feels like the right time

200

: 00:10:31

for me to deal with this trauma head on.

201

: 00:10:34

So, yeah, that's a goal that I have this

year that I know I need to do, but I

202

: 00:10:39

need to do it in baby steps, and I'm,

I'm doing it, slowly but surely, and I'm

203

: 00:10:44

proud of that, but it scares me, you guys.

204

: 00:10:46

It scares me a lot.

205

: 00:10:47

So, it's not easy.

206

: 00:10:50

It's really, really hard.

207

: 00:10:54

That's me being honest with you guys.

208

: 00:10:55

How do you deal with a breakup?

209

: 00:10:57

I was recently broken up with and

it's hitting me hard right now.

210

: 00:11:00

Well, the first thing I want to say is

that I'm sorry that you are dealing with

211

: 00:11:04

this heartache and this pain right now.

212

: 00:11:06

Like, breakups are not fun, and

they hurt, and they are hard, okay?

213

: 00:11:10

So please give yourself grace and be

kind to yourself during this time.

214

: 00:11:16

The second thing I want to say is

that healing takes time, especially

215

: 00:11:22

when your heart is aching.

216

: 00:11:24

And sometimes it feels like

you're on top of the world, and

217

: 00:11:27

other times it feels like you can

barely get out of bed and eat.

218

: 00:11:31

And that is completely normal.

219

: 00:11:34

And everything that you are

feeling right now is valid.

220

: 00:11:37

Whether you were the person that was

broken up with or you are the person that

221

: 00:11:42

broke up with the person, it still hurts.

222

: 00:11:46

And in this case, when it comes to

dealing with a breakup, there is

223

: 00:11:50

not one true way to deal with it.

224

: 00:11:54

Like in quotation marks,

there is not one way to fix a

225

: 00:11:58

breakup ,to fix that heartache.

226

: 00:12:00

However the first step in moving forward

in your healing journey from a breakup is

227

: 00:12:07

to prioritize yourself and do what feels

right for you . Do what you need to do.

228

: 00:12:12

It is okay to be selfish in this time.

229

: 00:12:15

It is okay to put yourself first.

230

: 00:12:18

That's how you start

healing from your heartache.

231

: 00:12:21

That's how you deal with the

breakup, or at least the first

232

: 00:12:24

steps of dealing with a breakup.

233

: 00:12:27

You have to do what feels right for you.

234

: 00:12:31

Take this time to get to know

yourself on a deeper level.

235

: 00:12:35

Take the time to put yourself out

there, maybe to distract your mind.

236

: 00:12:39

And if you want to go and download the

dating apps and talk to whoever it is

237

: 00:12:45

for a bit to, you know, distract yourself

from the pain in your heart, that's okay.

238

: 00:12:50

Do it.

239

: 00:12:50

There is no judgment.

240

: 00:12:52

Do what feels right for you.

241

: 00:12:54

Just make sure you're

taking care of yourself.

242

: 00:12:56

And also, I want to add that I'll

be talking more about dealing with

243

: 00:13:01

heartbreak and healing from it and

like, dating, all that stuff later on

244

: 00:13:07

in season 2, so definitely make sure

to tune in for the later half of the

245

: 00:13:11

season, but to answer this question

right now, prioritize yourself.

246

: 00:13:15

And you got this.

247

: 00:13:16

How different do you think

your life would be if you never

248

: 00:13:19

received the breakup letter?

249

: 00:13:21

To be honest, I don't think my

life would be any different.

250

: 00:13:24

I think my ex and I still

would have parted ways.

251

: 00:13:26

I think we still would have broken up.

252

: 00:13:28

I would hope if it wasn't

through a letter, at least

253

: 00:13:29

it would have been mutual.

254

: 00:13:30

But, you know, that's me hoping.

255

: 00:13:32

But, we still would have broken up.

256

: 00:13:33

Like, we would not be together.

257

: 00:13:35

And I can confidently say that.

258

: 00:13:37

On the other hand, I do think I

still would have ran my own business.

259

: 00:13:41

Like I would have started something of

my own, which is what I'm doing now.

260

: 00:13:45

So I don't think it would have

looked differently in that aspect.

261

: 00:13:49

However, I don't know if it would

have been dare to be iconic,

262

: 00:13:51

to be honest with you guys.

263

: 00:13:53

I think maybe it would have been

a production company or it would

264

: 00:13:58

have been dare to be iconic.

265

: 00:14:00

I think it's one of those two pathways.

266

: 00:14:02

And it really would have depended

on if You know, my ex and I

267

: 00:14:06

would have stayed together.

268

: 00:14:07

We would have moved to Atlanta.

269

: 00:14:08

I still would have been acting

for a little bit longer.

270

: 00:14:11

Maybe that would have changed my mind

about how I felt in that acting job.

271

: 00:14:15

And maybe I would have leaned more

into producing, like just maybe

272

: 00:14:18

just running a production company.

273

: 00:14:20

Like, I don't know that so to say, and

like, maybe that's where my life would

274

: 00:14:26

have looked a little bit differently,

but altogether, I can confidently

275

: 00:14:31

say I definitely still would have

started my own business and my ex and

276

: 00:14:35

I definitely would not be together.

277

: 00:14:38

But it's kind of weird to think

about, hmm, like, maybe Dare to be

278

: 00:14:41

Iconic wouldn't have been a thing,

but, you know, I'm happy everything

279

: 00:14:44

turned out the way that, that it did.

280

: 00:14:46

Truly, I truly, truly do.

281

: 00:14:48

I'm so happy for that letter now.

282

: 00:14:50

Back then, absolutely not.

283

: 00:14:53

But right now, in this moment,

I wear it as a badge of honor.

284

: 00:14:56

Because my life has changed for

the better because of it, so.

285

: 00:14:59

What's a self love habit

that has changed your life?

286

: 00:15:02

Just organically incorporating little

moments of gratitude in my day and

287

: 00:15:07

taking a moment to really Breathe in the

blessings and like recognizing them, even

288

: 00:15:12

if they're like the smallest thing of

oh my gosh, I was able to listen to One

289

: 00:15:15

Direction today, or I was able to read a

chapter of my book, or the sky was blue,

290

: 00:15:21

Even the smallest things like that and

expressing my gratitude like That is a

291

: 00:15:25

self love habit that has changed my life

completely so definitely definitely if

292

: 00:15:33

you haven't already start incorporating

gratitude into your like Daily like ritual

293

: 00:15:38

routine, whatever you want to call it

start incorporating moments of gratitude.

294

: 00:15:42

Thank me later.

295

: 00:15:44

Ooh, what's the quickest way

someone can lose your trust?

296

: 00:15:48

By being a two face, like to be blunt with

you guys, I truly cannot trust someone

297

: 00:15:55

who says one thing and does another.

298

: 00:15:58

And here's an example, if you say to

me that you cannot trust X, Y, and Z

299

: 00:16:05

because of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

and not The next time you see them,

300

: 00:16:09

that you're gonna tell them, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah, like, tell them what

301

: 00:16:13

they did and why you don't like it, and

you are so solid in that opinion, right?

302

: 00:16:20

And then, when that person comes back

to your life, and yes, I'm drawing from

303

: 00:16:24

personal experience here, but when that

person comes back into their life, the

304

: 00:16:29

person that they said that they feel

X, Y, and Z about, and that blah, blah,

305

: 00:16:33

blah, blah, blah, and all of a sudden

they change their tune, I can't trust you.

306

: 00:16:38

I cannot trust you when you do that.

307

: 00:16:42

If you say you're gonna do

something, if you say that you

308

: 00:16:44

feel something, own up to it.

309

: 00:16:46

Nothing drives me crazier in this world

than someone being two faced or someone

310

: 00:16:52

not owning up to what they are saying.

311

: 00:16:55

If you are saying this behind

someone's back and then you

312

: 00:16:58

change your tune when they're in

front of you, I can't trust you.

313

: 00:17:02

I cannot.

314

: 00:17:03

That's my opinion.

315

: 00:17:05

Oh, well.

316

: 00:17:05

What's your best advice for

someone struggling with confidence?

317

: 00:17:09

Ooh, wait.

318

: 00:17:09

Okay.

319

: 00:17:10

I love this question because the next

masterclass is focused all on confidence.

320

: 00:17:15

It's called Daring to be Confident.

321

: 00:17:17

It's on April 19th.

322

: 00:17:18

Tickets are now live.

323

: 00:17:19

Also, if you're wondering, you can grab

them now on the website, daretobeiconic.

324

: 00:17:23

com under empowerment events.

325

: 00:17:26

But let's get to this question.

326

: 00:17:28

Okay.

327

: 00:17:28

And we'll go more into this in the master

class, but I think my best advice When

328

: 00:17:34

you are struggling with confidence is that

it's not about doubting yourself, okay?

329

: 00:17:40

It's about deciding to show up for

yourself, even when you're scared.

330

: 00:17:46

You need to decide to show up

with bravery and courage, even

331

: 00:17:50

when you're scared of doing it.

332

: 00:17:52

You need to do it anyway.

333

: 00:17:54

That is what confidence is all about.

334

: 00:17:57

You need to build it up.

335

: 00:17:59

You need to tell yourself that

you can figure it out, even if

336

: 00:18:02

you don't know all the steps.

337

: 00:18:04

So my advice, if you are struggling with

confidence, is you need to build it up.

338

: 00:18:08

When that doubt creeps in, when

that imposter syndrome creeps in.

339

: 00:18:14

You need to decide to show

up for yourself anyway.

340

: 00:18:17

You need to do it.

341

: 00:18:18

Do it scared if you

have to, but just do it.

342

: 00:18:21

You need to acknowledge it.

343

: 00:18:22

You need to push through it,

and you just have to do it.

344

: 00:18:26

Show up for yourself.

345

: 00:18:27

That's the bravest thing that you can do.

346

: 00:18:30

What would little baby

Amanda think of her now?

347

: 00:18:33

I think little baby Amanda would

be in awe of the Amanda today.

348

: 00:18:37

I think she would be so

immensely proud of her.

349

: 00:18:41

I think she would be almost starstruck.

350

: 00:18:44

And like, Just in awe of everything

that she's been able to accomplish.

351

: 00:18:49

And I just think she would be like,

smiling ear to ear, being like, Wow,

352

: 00:18:53

like, you did everything you said you

were gonna do and more, like, Our dreams

353

: 00:18:57

came true, and I'm so proud of you.

354

: 00:19:00

And I think she would have been

really happy that she never

355

: 00:19:02

stopped believing in herself.

356

: 00:19:04

I think she would be really happy

that she kept going when people

357

: 00:19:09

told her that all these big dreams

that she had were really stupid.

358

: 00:19:13

I just think she would be so happy

and so proud and Just like in awe

359

: 00:19:18

that this is her life now and that

everything that she said and she

360

: 00:19:22

dreamed of Came true or is coming true.

361

: 00:19:25

And I think that's really really cool.

362

: 00:19:28

And I'm not gonna cry again.

363

: 00:19:29

Because we've already

cried during this episode.

364

: 00:19:31

So let's get to the next question.

365

: 00:19:33

What is some advice that you have

for aspiring business owners?

366

: 00:19:37

I think my advice would be, it's going to

sound a little cliche, but it's so true.

367

: 00:19:42

Don't ever stop believing in yourself.

368

: 00:19:45

Keep fighting for your dream.

369

: 00:19:48

Keep fighting for what you believe in.

370

: 00:19:50

And when everyone tells you no,

because there will be a lot of

371

: 00:19:54

people who will tell you no.

372

: 00:19:56

There will be a lot of people who don't

understand your vision or your dream.

373

: 00:20:00

You need to tell yourself yes.

374

: 00:20:02

You need to keep going.

375

: 00:20:04

You need to keep showing up for yourself.

376

: 00:20:06

Keep showing up for your dreams.

377

: 00:20:08

You just have to keep doing it.

378

: 00:20:11

You have to keep pushing forward.

379

: 00:20:13

Even if no one else

understands it, so what?

380

: 00:20:17

They don't need to understand it.

381

: 00:20:19

You just need to keep going because

your dream is worth fighting for.

382

: 00:20:24

And that is what my advice would be.

383

: 00:20:25

What is your biggest, I can't believe

this is my life moment so far?

384

: 00:20:29

I definitely think it's the

magazine cover behind me.

385

: 00:20:32

I was the July cover girl or the

Motorsports Girlies magazine.

386

: 00:20:37

At that time it was the F1 Girlies

magazine, and that was definitely like,

387

: 00:20:42

oh my god, like, I can't believe, like,

this is my life moment for me, because

388

: 00:20:45

little baby Amanda always dreamed of being

on the cover of a magazine, specifically,

389

: 00:20:51

it was the Seventeen magazine cover, but

this is like, pretty cool, you guys.

390

: 00:20:55

So, that moment was like, oh my god,

like, I can't believe this is my life.

391

: 00:21:00

Or even, like, the rooftop in Barcelona

for Off to the Races, like, that sunset

392

: 00:21:04

sessions, That was also a moment where I

was like, holy shit, like this is my life

393

: 00:21:10

and it was all because I kept believing

in myself and I kept fighting for my

394

: 00:21:15

dream and when everyone told me no, I

told myself yes, so For those aspiring

395

: 00:21:20

business owners, your oh my god I can't

believe this is my life moment will come

396

: 00:21:25

when you stop caring what other people

think and you just keep fighting for

397

: 00:21:30

your dream and you just keep doing it.

398

: 00:21:32

I promise you it will work out.
