10

: 00:00:32

Now, I never thought in my life

that I would have LinkedIn of all

11

: 00:00:36

social media platforms to thank

for my most iconic friendship.

12

: 00:00:40

Noelle and Dani are some of my

closest friends, and we have a

13

: 00:00:44

special announcement that we will

be revealing in our Tea Time Sesh.

14

: 00:00:48

So are you ready, radiant icons?

15

: 00:00:50

This one is a good one.

16

: 00:00:52

Your Tea Time Sesh is starting now.

17

: 00:00:55

Noelle and Dani, thank you

guys so much for being on the

18

: 00:00:58

Dare to Be Iconic podcast.

19

: 00:01:00

But before we get into our tea

time session, I want to ask you

20

: 00:01:04

guys two questions to kick it off.

21

: 00:01:06

What does iconic mean to you and how do

you dare to be iconic in your daily life?

22

: 00:01:12

Dani Fryant: I want to say iconic

to me means just being yourself,

23

: 00:01:16

being true to who you are, and

not being afraid to show it.

24

: 00:01:22

I want to say, too, that how I dare

to be iconic is just being yourself.

25

: 00:01:27

You know, it was like a conversation

we had earlier, just loving my myself

26

: 00:01:31

more and gaining that confidence.

27

: 00:01:33

But also one thing I am very proud

to say that I really do enjoy

28

: 00:01:37

about myself is my personality.

29

: 00:01:38

Like, yes, I know I'm a little oddball,

like, of a human being, kind of all

30

: 00:01:41

combined with different interests,

and Things that I just really enjoy

31

: 00:01:45

out of this world, but it's really

just not changing for anyone, and, not

32

: 00:01:50

changing for any environments around me.

33

: 00:01:51

Like, yes, I can adapt to different

environments and on the situations that's

34

: 00:01:55

different, but just staying true to

who, who I am, my likes, my dislikes,

35

: 00:02:00

and not changing that for anyone else.

36

: 00:02:03

Noelle Magann: So I think iconic

means kind of the same as Dani,

37

: 00:02:07

like being yourself, but also

being yourself in a loud way.

38

: 00:02:11

Right?

39

: 00:02:12

Iconic is very like, you

have to know they're there.

40

: 00:02:14

Like you have to take up space, right?

41

: 00:02:16

You can't be iconic if no one's

going to see it and not in a bad

42

: 00:02:20

way, but like, even if you're

working behind the scenes, like most

43

: 00:02:23

of my stuff is behind the scenes.

44

: 00:02:24

The person you're working with needs

to know what you're doing, and like,

45

: 00:02:29

you're going to be able to see it, right?

46

: 00:02:30

So I think taking up space is

a big one, which is something

47

: 00:02:33

that's talked about a lot.

48

: 00:02:35

And then, um, I guess that's the

same as, like, how I'm daring to

49

: 00:02:39

be iconic, is this kind of, like,

50

: 00:02:45

Amanda Paolicelli: I'm watching the

video version right now, I can just

51

: 00:02:47

feel Noelle cringing internally because

she does not do any of this stuff,

52

: 00:02:51

so I appreciate you coming on for me.

53

: 00:02:53

Noelle Magann: I hate being on camera.

54

: 00:02:55

Um, again, that's how I

dare to be iconic, is by

55

: 00:02:58

doing things behind the scenes.

56

: 00:03:00

So, I think, for me personally, it's

just not being afraid to kind of like

57

: 00:03:09

speak up, especially with clients.

58

: 00:03:10

Taking control there because like,

that's why they hired me, right?

59

: 00:03:13

Like is to take control and to do things.

60

: 00:03:16

Um, and it's different in every situation.

61

: 00:03:19

So like, yeah, I might not be iconic

in class, but I am with a client.

62

: 00:03:25

Like, it's just kind of also knowing

where you fit for different things

63

: 00:03:29

and how you have to kind of mold

yourself in the different situations.

64

: 00:03:33

Amanda Paolicelli: Ooh, I love that.

65

: 00:03:34

You know, I think that actually speaks

to how we started our friendship.

66

: 00:03:38

So, let's spill the tea

about how we all met, Noelle.

67

: 00:03:42

Noelle Magann: So I started posting on

LinkedIn as a way to get experience or

68

: 00:03:47

like show knowledge in F1 and Motorsport.

69

: 00:03:50

All of my posts are about motorsport

in some way, or sports in general.

70

: 00:03:55

Like now I'm a little more

flexible than I was when I started.

71

: 00:03:57

Mm-Hmm.

72

: 00:03:58

and one of my posts,

was about Lando Norris.

73

: 00:04:01

He's a frequent topic, um,

cause posts about him do well,

74

: 00:04:05

so I post about him a good bit.

75

: 00:04:07

But, Amanda reached out to me, cause she'd

liked a couple of posts at that point,

76

: 00:04:12

but the Lando one, she finally reached out

and was like, oh my gosh, I love what you

77

: 00:04:15

said, like, Lando's my favorite driver.

78

: 00:04:18

So obviously there's a better connection

there like you're gonna connect

79

: 00:04:22

to that more than you would have

connected to post about George Russell.

80

: 00:04:25

She reached out she was like, oh my

gosh, like let's I'd love to talk

81

: 00:04:32

to you about f1 like I'm a big fan.

82

: 00:04:34

And I was like, yeah, I, you know, I'll

talk to anybody, anyone who reaches

83

: 00:04:37

out to me on LinkedIn, I pretty much

always reply, unless it's one of those

84

: 00:04:41

like ads that you can't reply to.

85

: 00:04:44

But otherwise, like I replied to anybody.

86

: 00:04:46

And so I was like, Oh my gosh,

yeah, like, let's talk and yeah.

87

: 00:04:49

Really long LinkedIn messages.

88

: 00:04:51

Amanda Paolicelli: No, like paragraphs.

89

: 00:04:52

We were writing books to each other

about F1 and our favorite drivers

90

: 00:04:56

and like Carlos with the pancakes.

91

: 00:04:58

Noelle Magann: Full blown five paragraph

essays, like with a thesis statement.

92

: 00:05:03

So

93

: 00:05:03

Amanda Paolicelli: iconic

of us to be honest.

94

: 00:05:05

Don't forget the references.

95

: 00:05:07

Noelle Magann: Yeah.

96

: 00:05:08

Citing references, cite

your sources, kids.

97

: 00:05:13

If you want to succeed,

you got to do APA 7, not 8.

98

: 00:05:16

Dani Fryant: Or gemby, if

you're writing scientifically.

99

: 00:05:18

Noelle Magann: This was not scientific.

100

: 00:05:21

Amanda Paolicelli: You know what?

101

: 00:05:21

The science of my heart

when it beats for F1.

102

: 00:05:24

That's, that's scientific right there.

103

: 00:05:26

Noelle Magann: Wow, throw

that on a t shirt, Amanda.

104

: 00:05:30

Okay yeah, so she reached out then and we

talked about it and then I'm finally, I

105

: 00:05:34

was like, so my, my LinkedIn notifications

aren't turned on on my phone.

106

: 00:05:37

I got to go check if I'm

going to like see anything.

107

: 00:05:40

And I was like, I give up.

108

: 00:05:41

I don't want to keep checking.

109

: 00:05:42

So I gave her my phone number,

and I was like, just text me.

110

: 00:05:46

And in my head I'm thinking, what

a stupid, idiotic thing to do.

111

: 00:05:49

You don't know this person.

112

: 00:05:50

Cause I don't give my phone number out.

113

: 00:05:53

Unless you are someone I care about,

which at the time we've literally

114

: 00:05:58

known each other for like two days.

115

: 00:05:59

So we texted for a while, and then

after Dani like, actually watched

116

: 00:06:03

some F1, and like, was responding

to the TikToks of F1 I sent, I was

117

: 00:06:08

like, Oh, let me make a group chat.

118

: 00:06:10

She'll like Amanda.

119

: 00:06:11

It'll be fine.

120

: 00:06:12

Amanda Paolicelli: Oh my

god, what the heck did I do?

121

: 00:06:16

You said, Amanda is wild.

122

: 00:06:19

I have this I did say that.

123

: 00:06:20

I did.

124

: 00:06:21

I said,

125

: 00:06:22

Noelle Magann: Amanda is wild.

126

: 00:06:22

I had to warn her.

127

: 00:06:24

I was like, y'all fit very well.

128

: 00:06:26

But for me, the very

laid back, quiet, doesn't

129

: 00:06:30

Amanda Paolicelli: You're the logical one.

130

: 00:06:32

Noelle Magann: Yeah.

131

: 00:06:32

You know?

132

: 00:06:33

I was like, I have to warn Dani because

she will think that Amanda's like me.

133

: 00:06:38

But you are like Dani.

134

: 00:06:40

And so I was like, I gotta

clarify that this is not a

135

: 00:06:44

situation where y'all are like me.

136

: 00:06:45

I'm the oddball in this,

in this little trio.

137

: 00:06:48

So I was like, I gotta make sure she

understands, because you were gonna

138

: 00:06:51

come into that chat, like, guns blazing,

like, all chats, orange hearts, freakin

139

: 00:06:57

papaya emojis, like, TikToks, back

to back TikToks, it's all night long.

140

: 00:07:02

So I gotta clarify what this means.

141

: 00:07:05

And so, yeah, I did call you wild.

142

: 00:07:07

I probably called you other

stuff too, but I don't know.

143

: 00:07:08

No, I had the

144

: 00:07:09

Amanda Paolicelli: screenshot where

it's literally like, Amanda is wild.

145

: 00:07:11

Noelle Magann: Yeah.

146

: 00:07:12

And then you told Dani apparently,

147

: 00:07:14

Amanda Paolicelli: yeah, literally

sent me so many screenshots, and

148

: 00:07:16

then you apparently told Dani, she

loves Lando just as much as I do.

149

: 00:07:19

Noelle Magann: Yeah,

150

: 00:07:19

Amanda Paolicelli: that's

151

: 00:07:20

Noelle Magann: changed.

152

: 00:07:21

Yeah.

153

: 00:07:22

I do love Lando, but like, you,

at the time, like, I hadn't fully

154

: 00:07:26

quantified how much you like Lando.

155

: 00:07:29

Cause I like pretty much every driver.

156

: 00:07:31

Like there's stuff I

like about all of them.

157

: 00:07:33

And also my fandom is very

much professional based.

158

: 00:07:36

Like I don't pick favorite drivers

the same way other people do.

159

: 00:07:40

Mine is, Oh, he's got great marketing.

160

: 00:07:42

That's why I like them.

161

: 00:07:43

Amanda Paolicelli: Very unique approach.

162

: 00:07:45

I love that for you.

163

: 00:07:46

Noelle Magann: Mean, when I started

my master's, they literally said,

164

: 00:07:50

don't be a fan, be a professional.

165

: 00:07:53

Amanda Paolicelli: Interesting.

166

: 00:07:53

I'm a professional fangirl,

if that counts for anything.

167

: 00:07:56

Noelle Magann: It's a bit

different of an approach.

168

: 00:07:58

Amanda Paolicelli: Iconic, some might say.

169

: 00:07:59

Yeah,

170

: 00:08:00

Dani Fryant: can I say my side of

the story of how this all happened?

171

: 00:08:04

Of course!

172

: 00:08:04

It ought to be even better.

173

: 00:08:06

Because I know y'all just heard

Noelle's side, so here's my side.

174

: 00:08:11

So, little backstory first.

175

: 00:08:13

Noelle and I have known each other

previously for about two years, kay?

176

: 00:08:18

Kay.

177

: 00:08:19

We went to Coastal

together, that's how we met.

178

: 00:08:23

We, it was me and two of our

other friends in mid-October.

179

: 00:08:27

It's the weekend of the CODA

race and you know, Noelle over

180

: 00:08:31

here she's like, all right, y'all

are going to make predictions.

181

: 00:08:33

Like I'm making my family do predictions.

182

: 00:08:35

Y'all are doing predictions.

183

: 00:08:37

All right.

184

: 00:08:38

Do I have any idea what's going on?

185

: 00:08:40

Absolutely not.

186

: 00:08:41

I'm over here like you know what?

187

: 00:08:42

I'm going to give it my best shot.

188

: 00:08:44

I'm looking at some of these people.

189

: 00:08:45

I'm going to.

190

: 00:08:46

Also, low key judging, I'm

like, why does he look angry?

191

: 00:08:49

He looks like he got punched in the

face, like, Ah, in my little head, just,

192

: 00:08:52

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, As I'm

going through the list of drivers, right?

193

: 00:08:54

Right.

194

: 00:08:55

We do our little predictions, And

then, it isn't until we're actually

195

: 00:08:59

watching, like, the qualifying and

the actual race itself later that day.

196

: 00:09:03

And still I'm sitting here like, I have

no idea what's going on, but, but sure.

197

: 00:09:09

It's interesting.

198

: 00:09:10

I then start getting a

little bit more intrigued.

199

: 00:09:12

So I'm asking questions.

200

: 00:09:13

I'll be it.

201

: 00:09:14

Some of them are really dumb,

but in my defense, I had no

202

: 00:09:17

idea like what was going on.

203

: 00:09:19

Amanda Paolicelli: You hadn't watched

Drive to Survive yet, correct?

204

: 00:09:21

Dani Fryant: No, I hadn't

seen Drive to Survive.

205

: 00:09:23

Noelle told me about it.

206

: 00:09:24

Like, Oh, you should

watch this on Netflix.

207

: 00:09:26

I was really just asking

Noelle questions about it.

208

: 00:09:30

And then she showed me

some of the TikToks.

209

: 00:09:33

The whole like canon of how

everyone really becomes Charles fan.

210

: 00:09:37

It's okay.

211

: 00:09:38

I will admit it I cried just like

212

: 00:09:41

Amanda Paolicelli: slightly.

213

: 00:09:42

You know what, Dani?

214

: 00:09:43

That's stumbling boldly.

215

: 00:09:44

I love this for you.

216

: 00:09:46

Sure.

217

: 00:09:47

Dani Fryant: We'll go with that.

218

: 00:09:48

But I, I realized too that there,

there's more to these drivers and

219

: 00:09:53

just how they look on a screen.

220

: 00:09:56

So I was like, Oh, like

they're not egotistical.

221

: 00:09:59

Like sure.

222

: 00:09:59

They, they can be like, everyone can be

a little egotistical, but it was kind of

223

: 00:10:03

like, Oh, like they have a personality.

224

: 00:10:05

Like, and I know that sounds horrible

because when you watch a sport, you

225

: 00:10:09

always see that You never see their

lives like outside of the sport, what

226

: 00:10:13

they're doing, you know, with their

family, friends, yada, yada, yada.

227

: 00:10:17

So just seeing like those TikToks

really kind of made it super personable.

228

: 00:10:21

For me, what I really like to

see, because, for those listening,

229

: 00:10:25

watching, I'm a marine scientist.

230

: 00:10:28

I love scuba diving, anything marine

life, anything to do with animals.

231

: 00:10:31

One of the reasons why I'm

such a big Charles fan is

232

: 00:10:33

because he does scuba diving.

233

: 00:10:35

And so that really impacted me

and I was like, Oh, like he does

234

: 00:10:38

things that I like, even though

he's a high performance athlete.

235

: 00:10:42

So that's what really made that

personal connection for me.

236

: 00:10:45

So, that's when she told

me about you, Amanda.

237

: 00:10:48

Amanda Paolicelli: If it wasn't for

me reaching out, Noelle, to you once

238

: 00:10:51

you started posting on LinkedIn,

taking that chance and creating that

239

: 00:10:55

connection, which then brought me to

Dani, we wouldn't be where we are today,

240

: 00:11:00

which then leads me to us not only

knowing each other for two months and

241

: 00:11:04

planning, a once in a lifetime trip.

242

: 00:11:06

So, we planned a whole trip

to Europe to go to the Spanish

243

: 00:11:09

Grand Prix, so we're going!

244

: 00:11:10

Noelle Magann: Literally like

bought these almost 400 euro tickets

245

: 00:11:14

after only texting in a group chat.

246

: 00:11:17

Amanda Paolicelli: Never met in person.

247

: 00:11:18

Nope.

248

: 00:11:20

The power of community.

249

: 00:11:22

The power of community

and connections, everyone.

250

: 00:11:24

Oh my goodness.

251

: 00:11:25

One thing that was really relevant, I

think in our friendship, not only the

252

: 00:11:29

trust we had in ourselves and with each

other, but also the confidence it took

253

: 00:11:35

for us to each put ourselves out there.

254

: 00:11:38

And one thing I wanted to touch on

specifically, Dani, is when we spoke

255

: 00:11:41

last night, you had said something

to me that really touched me.

256

: 00:11:44

You had said, I wish you could see

yourself the way I see you and I

257

: 00:11:48

think that really highlights the

definition of friendship, right?

258

: 00:11:52

Because our friends are able to see

us through all stages of our lives.

259

: 00:11:55

And Dani, when we were speaking,

you'd said, I wish you could

260

: 00:11:58

see yourself as I see you.

261

: 00:12:00

So can you elaborate a

little bit more on that?

262

: 00:12:03

Dani Fryant: When life gets going and life

starts throwing its punches, it's, it can

263

: 00:12:07

be very, very difficult to get up again.

264

: 00:12:10

And you then start having these doubts

of, am I even doing the right thing?

265

: 00:12:14

Like, you know, what am I doing?

266

: 00:12:16

I know the biggest thing for me

definitely was probably starting my own

267

: 00:12:20

art business that, you know, friends

and family have always told me like, Oh,

268

: 00:12:24

you should do this, you should do this.

269

: 00:12:25

And I'd always gotten questioned, like,

why didn't you ever go to school for art?

270

: 00:12:29

And I'm over here, you know,

I'm a marine science major.

271

: 00:12:33

I'm just such a little oddball of a

human being, is because I do have so

272

: 00:12:37

many interests and so many things in

this world that I truly, truly enjoy.

273

: 00:12:41

And, you know, again, and that's

bringing me back to, like, why I love my

274

: 00:12:43

personality so much, is because I have

all these interests, I have all these

275

: 00:12:47

dreams, I have all these goals, and, but

yeah, like, you can get beat down so many

276

: 00:12:52

times, and, this self doubt starts really

creeping in, and For you, Amanda, and I'm

277

: 00:12:59

just going to kind of say what we kind

of talked about over like that FaceTime,

278

: 00:13:04

is like, you know, like I saw you like

at one of your lows, you know, feeling

279

: 00:13:08

that self doubt really creeping in, but

because I'm not you, I'm an outsider, I'm

280

: 00:13:13

a good friend of yours, and I can see all

the progress that you have made from the

281

: 00:13:19

time that we have met to the time to now.

282

: 00:13:22

There has been so much growth, not only

in yourself, but in your business and

283

: 00:13:26

what has really been like truly amazing

just to watch and see how you grow.

284

: 00:13:32

And same goes for Noelle you know, I

mean, Noel and I have known each other for

285

: 00:13:36

about like two, almost three years now.

286

: 00:13:38

And the amount of growth that I've seen in

Noelle since we first met is just amazing.

287

: 00:13:44

And I'm truly like blessed to be a

part of that journey of just seeing

288

: 00:13:48

how y'all grow, um, even though

y'all might not even see it yourself.

289

: 00:13:53

That's why I had said, like, I wish you

could see yourself the way I see you,

290

: 00:13:56

because you are such an inspiration to

not only me, but to, I know, so many

291

: 00:14:01

other people who are watching, listening,

reading your blogs and everything.

292

: 00:14:05

I know, like, people feel the same way

about myself, but I know it's harder

293

: 00:14:09

for me to see it because when I look

at myself in the mirror, I see all the

294

: 00:14:13

flaws, I see all the insecurities, I

see all the cracks, everything that

295

: 00:14:17

needs to be fixed, that isn't perfect.

296

: 00:14:19

Amanda Paolicelli: We all are though.

297

: 00:14:20

It's easier for us to say things

and give advice to others being

298

: 00:14:24

like, you're doing so good.

299

: 00:14:25

Like, don't you see, like,

it's easy for us to see it in

300

: 00:14:27

other people than in ourselves.

301

: 00:14:29

Always.

302

: 00:14:30

Exactly.

303

: 00:14:31

Dani Fryant: For sure cause I know I can

give out great advice, but am I really

304

: 00:14:36

going to take heed to my own advice?

305

: 00:14:38

Not really.

306

: 00:14:38

Nine times out of 10.

307

: 00:14:39

No.

308

: 00:14:40

I'm not.

309

: 00:14:41

It really takes me hearing it

from someone else , that I'll then

310

: 00:14:45

kind of see and then make changes.

311

: 00:14:47

I think it's really important to have that

community where they can be your mirror.

312

: 00:14:51

So instead of you looking in the mirror

and you're seeing like, you know, all the

313

: 00:14:54

cracks and really just, it's your friends.

314

: 00:14:56

Let your friends be your mirror.

315

: 00:14:59

Let them show you who you really

are, even though you may not

316

: 00:15:03

be feeling it on the inside.

317

: 00:15:05

It's them reflecting back to you

on how you've impacted their lives,

318

: 00:15:10

what they're doing to help themselves

because of you and you know, even

319

: 00:15:14

different insights that they have.

320

: 00:15:16

Again, like that's why community and

just, you know, good relationships

321

: 00:15:21

and friendships are super important

is because you need them to be your

322

: 00:15:25

mirror because you can't rely on

yourself to be your own mirror.

323

: 00:15:28

Yeah,

324

: 00:15:28

Amanda Paolicelli: instead of it

being just on the individual journey,

325

: 00:15:31

which we all go on, it's more of also

that collective journey of all of us.

326

: 00:15:35

Like, daring to be iconic

together and figuring out life.

327

: 00:15:39

Yeah, I think that's the only

way to really to go about it.

328

: 00:15:41

I know for sure, like, I wouldn't be

where I am today if Without the help of

329

: 00:15:46

my friends, and especially you two, like,

Noelle, giving me the confidence to talk

330

: 00:15:51

more about F1 from my perspective as a

fangirl, because I always felt so insecure

331

: 00:15:57

talking in a male dominated space.

332

: 00:15:59

But without the encouragement of you two,

but especially you, Noelle, you gave

333

: 00:16:03

me the confidence and the courage to go

forward and be authentic in who I am.

334

: 00:16:07

Noelle Magann: Yeah, and I think

too, like, we were strategizing

335

: 00:16:10

business stuff, right?

336

: 00:16:11

Like we were talking about what's

next, how do you go through

337

: 00:16:14

this, and how do you stand out?

338

: 00:16:17

And no one is hitting that professional

fangirls, what we called it, because

339

: 00:16:22

that's a perspective that's actually

useful to someone in marketing.

340

: 00:16:26

If I was working for a team, I want

to have that fan who can articulate

341

: 00:16:30

why they like an activation we did.

342

: 00:16:33

That's what I write my posts about, right?

343

: 00:16:35

Like, and I do from a professional

perspective, not a fan one, but

344

: 00:16:39

why is that strategy working?

345

: 00:16:40

Or if it's not working, where did we fail?

346

: 00:16:43

Where did we fail you as the fan?

347

: 00:16:45

Because sports do not exist without fans.

348

: 00:16:47

Like it's just not possible.

349

: 00:16:51

Um, so that's where I was like, that's a

really good place for you to stand out.

350

: 00:16:56

That appeals to a lot of

different platforms, right?

351

: 00:16:58

Like, you're like, let's

get you more on LinkedIn.

352

: 00:17:00

Let's get some more success

there, which we did.

353

: 00:17:03

Let's do something different

with Instagram, right?

354

: 00:17:05

Like, because if you're not changing

it up, it's not reflecting your life

355

: 00:17:09

because your life is constantly changing.

356

: 00:17:11

I think of just like figuring

out where you're good at niche

357

: 00:17:16

wise and embracing the things

that Dani's talking about, right?

358

: 00:17:20

Like the creative, the different aspects

of your life, everyone's got so many

359

: 00:17:24

different like hobbies and talents and

interests that you have to apply that.

360

: 00:17:30

The more authentic you are,

the more embrace yourself.

361

: 00:17:33

Amanda Paolicelli: I think it comes down

to the importance of community and being

362

: 00:17:36

able to have that confidence within

yourself and in your friends That you can

363

: 00:17:39

lean on them, But also see that bigger

picture and allowing yourself to have more

364

: 00:17:43

than one dream Allowing them to be able

to uplift you in being able to see that,

365

: 00:17:50

in being able to see that bigger picture.

366

: 00:17:52

And I think what's really unique and

different about our friendship is that we

367

: 00:17:58

really just took a chance on ourselves and

took a chance on this one thing that we

368

: 00:18:01

really love and decided to just go for it.

369

: 00:18:04

Noelle Magann: Actually, I think

the story I told Dani would fit

370

: 00:18:06

really well with what you're talking

about, but it's one my dad has used

371

: 00:18:10

in a lot of different situations.

372

: 00:18:11

I'm not going to go into which ones,

but he He's a youth minister, right?

373

: 00:18:16

Like he works for church.

374

: 00:18:16

He's worked at church all my life.

375

: 00:18:18

So he's got a lot of really

good, really good stories.

376

: 00:18:20

But, um, this one, there was this family

stranded during a flood on their roof and

377

: 00:18:26

they kept praying to God, Hey, like, save

us, God, please get us off this roof.

378

: 00:18:29

Get us to safety all that.

379

: 00:18:30

Right.

380

: 00:18:31

Well, a boat comes by, you know,

like, Some neighbors on their

381

: 00:18:35

boat, they're getting out, right?

382

: 00:18:36

And they say, hey, come get on

our boat, come get on our boat.

383

: 00:18:39

We'll take you out of here.

384

: 00:18:40

And the family goes, no, God's got this.

385

: 00:18:42

He's going to save us.

386

: 00:18:43

So they keep going and they keep praying.

387

: 00:18:46

They're like, Lord, come save us.

388

: 00:18:47

Come save us.

389

: 00:18:48

The police come by on their

like raft or whatever.

390

: 00:18:50

Hey, come get on the boat.

391

: 00:18:52

Like we can take you to safety.

392

: 00:18:53

They're like, no, God's got this.

393

: 00:18:54

God's going to come save us.

394

: 00:18:56

A helicopter comes by, Hey, we need to

pick you up, we need to get you out of

395

: 00:19:00

here, let's get you to safety, right?

396

: 00:19:02

And they go, no, God's got us.

397

: 00:19:04

So all these people that came

to help them, they pushed away.

398

: 00:19:08

And unfortunate happens, they get to

heaven and they, they're speaking,

399

: 00:19:11

they're like, God, why didn't you save us?

400

: 00:19:13

And he goes, I gave you every

opportunity to be saved, but

401

: 00:19:17

you didn't act on any of them.

402

: 00:19:18

You didn't take anyone's help.

403

: 00:19:20

Right.

404

: 00:19:20

And so that one's not only the, you

know, the prayer, like you need to,

405

: 00:19:24

you need to pray, you need to ask,

but also actively working on it

406

: 00:19:27

and acting on what you're saying.

407

: 00:19:28

Like, I think if you say, here's my steps,

God, it's saying, guide me through to the

408

: 00:19:33

right ones, guiding through them, right?

409

: 00:19:35

And in the community, all these

people came to pick them up.

410

: 00:19:39

All these people cared.

411

: 00:19:40

They were all coming to help them.

412

: 00:19:41

And they kept turning them away because

they said, no, God, God's got this.

413

: 00:19:45

But God puts you in communities

to succeed, to see like

414

: 00:19:51

him through other people.

415

: 00:19:53

I've had many experiences where

I've seen God through other people

416

: 00:19:56

because, you Like, I, I don't hear him,

like, speaking all the time, right?

417

: 00:20:02

Like, you, you see God

through so many other things.

418

: 00:20:04

Sometimes it's through a song,

sometimes it's through someone talking

419

: 00:20:07

to you, but I've also had moments

where I literally feel like I've

420

: 00:20:10

been possessed to say something,

like, advice to give to someone.

421

: 00:20:13

And I'm like, I didn't

think of that on my own.

422

: 00:20:16

That was totally God speaking through

me, because I never would have thought

423

: 00:20:20

of that, like, as a human on my own.

424

: 00:20:22

So I think that story is really good

for, like, you need your community.

425

: 00:20:25

You need to pray.

426

: 00:20:26

You need to actively like act on it.

427

: 00:20:28

If there's something in front

of you, he put it there.

428

: 00:20:31

You need to, you need to go jump on it.

429

: 00:20:33

A lot of the things you bring up are

like, you bring up all these ideas.

430

: 00:20:37

I'm like, yeah, let's actively jump on it.

431

: 00:20:39

But also don't jump on that, on that

boat and miss it because you didn't

432

: 00:20:43

like calculate it the right way.

433

: 00:20:45

Right.

434

: 00:20:45

Amanda Paolicelli: Yeah.

435

: 00:20:45

And there's a reason why God, or if

you don't believe in God, a higher

436

: 00:20:49

power has put that dream in your heart

because it's for a higher purpose.

437

: 00:20:54

So the last thing before we go because

I know I know we have to wrap up But

438

: 00:20:58

it's been lovely spilling all the tea

with you all and I know we'll have many

439

: 00:21:01

more tea sessions to come Especially

with spay and i'm so excited but For

440

: 00:21:07

anyone watching the video recording you

can definitely see all the beautiful

441

: 00:21:11

differences in our personalities But that

just like makes us gel so beautifully

442

: 00:21:16

and iconically together um But before we

go, I would like to ask Dani and Noelle,

443

: 00:21:21

what are some iconic insights that you

want to leave with the radiant icons

444

: 00:21:25

and their daring to be iconic journey?

445

: 00:21:27

Dani Fryant: I definitely say

like I had mentioned earlier, let

446

: 00:21:30

your community be your mirror.

447

: 00:21:32

Let them guide you.

448

: 00:21:34

Noelle Magann: Don't be afraid to reach

out and like expand that community, right?

449

: 00:21:38

Like this all started because.

450

: 00:21:40

First, like, I took that step to be more

public, right, and that allowed Amanda

451

: 00:21:46

to find me and then led to all of this,

right, so don't be afraid to step out

452

: 00:21:51

of your comfort zone individually for

yourself, but also reaching out to people,

453

: 00:21:55

making new friends, meeting new people.

454

: 00:21:58

Yes.

455

: 00:21:59

It's not always going to work out.

456

: 00:22:00

Don't be hard on yourself

when it doesn't work out.

457

: 00:22:02

I've talked to so many F1 fans and it

just, it never works the way this did.

458

: 00:22:08

so definitely don't be afraid to

reach out to people, to talk to

459

: 00:22:12

people, to put yourself out there.

460

: 00:22:15

Even if you're like me and you like

being behind the scenes, do something

461

: 00:22:19

and whatever you're comfortable with.

462

: 00:22:20

And don't be afraid to talk

to new people and make new

463

: 00:22:23

friends and just be laid back.

464

: 00:22:25

Let it, let it go how it's

going to naturally develop.

465

: 00:22:27

Don't force it, just see how

it goes and let it happen.

466

: 00:22:31

Dani Fryant: Just to add on to that, I do

want to say, don't ever change who you are

467

: 00:22:34

for anyone, anything, or any situation.

468

: 00:22:38

Just be authentically you,

and stay true to who you are.

469

: 00:22:42

Amanda Paolicelli: And that is our tea

time session for today, radiant icons.

470

: 00:22:45

Before you go, I dare you to follow

me on Instagram . It is linked in

471

: 00:22:48

the show notes below, so make sure to

connect with me there so you can see

472

: 00:22:52

all the behind the scenes preparation

for the once in a lifetime trip of

: 00:22:57

going to the Spanish Grand Prix.

474

: 00:22:58

Like, I'm literally, I'm literally

so excited, you guys I'm physically

475

: 00:23:02

deceased, to be honest with you.

476

: 00:23:04

All right, radiant icons.

477

: 00:23:05

I will see you next time.

478

: 00:23:06

And remember, dare to be iconic.

479

: 00:23:09

Bye.
