They share how they collaborated from a fast-writing process to a polished short designed as a calling card—and how they’re using the release to build momentum toward a potential series. About Luke Tennie Luke Tennie grew up in South Florida, the youngest of three. Upon graduating from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in 2016, Luke booked his very first film audition, Shock & Awe (alongside: Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, James Marsden) with Rob Reiner at the helm. Since then, his career has become a steady crescendo as he’s gone on to star in Deadly Class (Benedict Wong, Lana Condor), Snowfall, Safety (Disney+), CSI: Vegas, Players (Paramount+), and most recently Shrinking, written by the Emmy-award winning team of Ted Lasso, Brett Goldstein & Bill Lawrence as well as Jason Segel, starring none other than Harrison Ford in his television debut on AppleTV+.” About Noam Shapiro Noam is a native New Yorker, currently based in the Bronx. He previously held a decade-long rap career, where he learned the basics of stage-craft, rhythm, and storytelling. Noam has worked on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, The Kill Room (opposite Samuel L. Jackson & Uma Thurman), American Horror Story, Lady In The Lake (opposite Natalie Portman), Powerbook II: Ghost, and Let The Right One In.” Noam is an acting professor at AMDA NY. About Dirty Coffee Pictures Dirty Coffee Pictures, founded by Luke Tennie and Noam Shapiro, is an independent film production company. The company creates stories that allow it to navigate in the gray—focusing on the nuance of people’s experiences. Its stories are character-driven, humorous, and dramatic.

About ⁠Sarantos Melogia⁠ Sarantos is a Chicago-based nerd, retired superhero, and international DIY music rebel with a relentless monthly release schedule that hasn’t slowed down in over a decade.

Every year, he also drops a new CD and book each November—plus a surprise album, just because. But Sarantos isn’t just about the numbers—he’s about connection. He writes for the misunderstood, the nerds, the loners, and the dreamers. His music has been featured on shows like The Young & the Restless and spun on radio stations from the BBC to top indie charts, featured in Billboard Magazine, as well as often cracking the Top 200 in U.S. airplay with zero label backing. He is an official member of The Recording Academy—the renowned institution behind the GRAMMY® Awards.

Because Just One Extraordinary Idea Can Change Your Life” full Adam Torres  Hey, I'd like to welcome you to another episode of Mission Matters. My name is Adam Torres, and if you'd like to apply to be a guest in the show, just head on over to missionmatters. com and click on be our guest to apply. All right. So today is a very special day. This is probably two, two and a half years in the making. I finally got Dave Nolan, the show, he is the TV show creator of 60 plus TV series, and he's also a creator of the chopped franchise, which we all know and love, and I'm proud to announce Dave has just released a new book. The visionary in charge, seven simple rules, because just one extraordinary idea can change your life. Dave. Hey, long time in the make it. I'm so happy to have you back in the show. And we finally get to talk about your book. Welcome. And Dave Noll is a huge mission matters fan and a huge Adam Torres fan. So thank you very much. This is awesome. All right, Dave. So we got a, we got a whole lot to talk about today in the book. And there's just, I just want to know your questions. I'm so excited. So many nuggets here. Well, we're going to start this episode. The way that we start them all with what we like to call our mission matters minute. So Dave at mission matters, our aim and our goal is to amplify stories for entrepreneurs, executives, authors, experts, and entertainers. That's what we do. Dave, what mission matters to you? Really to me, the goal is, and it seems so simple to say. But the goal is to inspire people. What I've noticed. Is selling a TV show is so crazy hard. The only way to sell a TV show is to come up with some sort of very short, very inspirational way to describe that show, to pitch that show. And you have to do it again and again and again, through the course of the development, through the course of the pilot, through the course of the production, until you get that show on the air. And, and that's what people say. There's they say, Dave, you inspire. And that's why we give you all this money. To make TV shows. So that's my goal. Amazing. So great, great having you on. And I just want to, I want to dive right into the book. People are going to get to know about your background as we go through the book and as we kind of unveil is, you know, step by step what you wrote about. And I think, and we're going to jump all around the book. So this isn't a linear interview and for everybody listening, I'm only going to give you a cup, maybe a couple of spoilers I'm going to bring out of Dave, but. But I want you to pick up a copy of the book. So don't worry. There'll be a couple of little spoilers in there that I want Dave to elaborate on. Cause I'm curious. And I guess just to get us kicked off here, what inspired you to finally get the book out? Cause I've been talking to you about this for years now. And like, what was the impetus? What was the moment where you're like, all right, this has to happen. I just there was a point where the genesis for the book was there was a point where my partner Cleve and I used to pitch shows on a yacht in the south of France. And I know that sounds completely bonkers and completely crazy, but it was true. When I was reading that section, I was like, Oh, poor guy. I see Dave. Yeah. It's been a rough life. Go ahead. It's grueling. You have no idea. There was a point in time where we worked with Barry Diller, who's a billionaire. He started the Fox network. He greenlit the Simpsons and married with children and Beverly Hills, not actually went on all those shows. And and then he, at one point he ran Paramount. Pictures at one point he ran the USA network and, and he built this amazing career. And he's a billionaire. And so we worked with him and he basically said, look, what, what you guys do is so unique and so special. You could create the next wheel of fortune, the next family feud, next voice, or America's got talent. What I'm going to do is there's this TV festival twice a year in Cannes, in France, right on the water. I'm going to get you a yacht and I want you to pitch, take one show and pitch at 10, 10 30, 11, 11 30, 12, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And that schedule's in the book, by the way, he has a printout of this in the book. And I was so proud when I saw it, cause I was like, this is what I'm talking about. You went as an author and A step further and you showed people continue. I just want the audience to know like that's in the book. He's not exaggerating. Go ahead. Yeah. And what would happen is If you hit it right, if you hit a great idea, you'd be pitching to executives from France at, at 11. And then at 1130, it would be executives from Japan. And then at noon, it would be people from Denmark or Sweden or whatever it is. And over the course of four days, that idea would become more and more and more popular. And it would bring other executives and you'd have, and then by day three, you'd have a time slot and you'd say, Hey can we just let as many people in as possible? And they would say yes. And you pour some Rose or you'd pour some coffee or whatever it was, depending on the day and you pitch this game show again and again and again. And, and you'd have this amazing moment after three or four days of this. Where you're just exhausted and you're trying to write all these notes. You have all these notes. And I was going through on the final day, we were on the upper deck drinking Rosé and I, and we were going through all of our notes and we took a bit of a break and it was in that moment where I said to myself, Dave, you've learned so much about how to create these brands and bring them to life around the world. Chopped is now over a thousand episodes, Chopped Canada, Chopped South, South Africa, Chopped Dubai on season three. And it's, and it's become a big thing, creating these brands. This is a series of steps, a series of rules that people should learn about. And so I just started writing all these stories down on these colored note cards. What about this story? What about this story? What about this story? Oh my gosh, there's this, there's this thing Barry Diller told me there's this thing that you learned from Walt Disney's nephew, this story you learned about Oprah, there's this story about working, I worked once with Tom Cruise. You have all these stories and then. As I would go through the note cards, these rules came in very, very obvious and very clear. And so that's where the, the seven rules come from more than anything. I hope it inspires people, whether you want to create TV shows or whether you want to create a new website or whether you want to create content for there's, there's concrete rules that you can follow. Yeah, and I looked at and I thought it was super interesting because you had when I was thinking about you putting together the content that you were going to do. So I correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know how many you said it was. It was in the book though, like 24 notebooks. Like every time you did a pitch, every time you did something, you have a whole shelf of notebooks. So when I was thinking about how you could possibly. All of us say, I don't care. Anybody that's written, written a book or anything like that. I mean, I've interviewed hundreds of hundreds of people and we talked about, Oh, all this knowledge is in our head. So getting the knowledge out of your head is hard enough, but like, how did you decide what content you were going to put in there? Cause you just have, you, you've always written these notebooks just for your personal business. Like, how did you decide whenever. We, I have any meetings. So even now, whenever I have anything, I take, I always see you, right. By the way. Now I know that brings, we've had a couple of meetings and I always see you writing in that or in a notebook, you're going down when we're on zoom and you're, you're writing something. Now I have context. I'm now I'm in my head. I'm like, is that number 28? Number 30? What notebook is this? And I've always done it. And I have little you know, indications. I have a light bulb. If there's an idea that I have, that is, that is, that's important. If it's something that the person is saying, so what I'm talking to you and you say something brilliant, which you very often do, I star it or I double star. Or so if you're not writing and somebody's doing a call with you, there's a problem. He's bored. He's really bored. Has it written now I got a goal. Thanks. I went back through all of those notebooks. I think at this point I probably have more, I probably am over 30, maybe 29. And I have all these black and brown notebooks that are all the same size that I've been doing for years. I went through all of those notebooks and those. Stories, the, all those things I've learned, as I say, when it was good, when I was like, Oh, I got to tell this story. I would put it on a color note card, put it in the stack. And as I say, once I started going through them, these rules, these rules emerge, and then there's stories. My brother. Read the book and, and he called and he did, he said, you didn't put the Martin Scorsese story in the book. And I said, I know I just didn't. It was a Martin. Well, you had all the other ones. There's just so many, but yeah. Oh, thank you. I was. Duck in a stairwell once with Martin Scorsese. It's another story altogether. And that did not make the book. Oh man. Well I do want to give the audience a little bit of a of a flavor for the book and like some of the lessons in there. So I want to pull out one story in particular that just, I'm telling you change for the business owners, for the entrepreneurs out there. I don't know if this is the story that's going to do it for you, but I'm telling you, the book has life changing moments in it. I spent a whole weekend kind of preparing for this interview, and I was pretty exhausted from the standpoint of there was so much for me to think about as an entrepreneur. And I don't mean just in creating content, but I mean, as an entrepreneur. So I, the one I want to talk about, Dave, you might know where I'm going with this, But the lemonade stand, I was like, I want to, I want to build out at least one store. We're not going to do too many spoilers here because I want people to pick up the book. But that one day when I, I'm, I have empathy, it's a big theme in my life. And I'm just telling you, I felt your pain. Like, I think when I was done reading that my mouth was literally open. I put the book down and I was like, I need some air. I had to go out to my balcony. I think I might even poured myself a cup of coffee after that. Like I was feeling the pain. I'm like, man, that was. to be an easy win. Tell t please. Lemonade stand. A when you, when you had th career like I've had, you that do change everything I was like, I mean that w things I wrote down. Obvi be in the book. So we wer Barry Diller. And we hadn't been there very long. He had a production company in Los Angeles, and then we ran all the creative and all the sales for his production company in New York. And so we're there. It's only been about three or four months. We even, I have this. awesome idea for a show and it all came together so fast. This never happens in TV. TV always takes forever years, two years, three years. But in this particular case, we had this amazing idea for the show and we had what we thought was the perfect talent and they were only one phone call away. We had worked with this person before and we had what we thought was the perfect. Network for it. The perfect bot. And so we called up the talent, the talent immediately responded, got their team on with us the very next week. Then we, we called up a couple of key places to pitch. We went on one practice. Pitch, which was another potential buyer, but a potential buyer that we didn't love as much. And then we got to the buyer, pitched the show and they bought it straight to series. So usually in TV, this never happens. Like you said, like, this is like maybe happened three times to us ever where it's, you know, usually some sort of development deal or there's thing, or there's a pilot or. Chop took two years to get on the air. America says took two or three years to get on there. This was almost immediate. We went in and pitched, they loved it. And we said, because we knew it was good. You have to go right to 10 episodes. And they said, yes. And so Adam, it was the, so my job was to go in once a month and tell Barry Diller. And the board, and it's this scary, scary group. I was scared reading it because of the buildup. When the readers, when you, when you listen to this, you're going to hear how Dave also shares how he met Barry Diller, like everything around that. I mean, there's story after story continue. I just wanted the readers to know, like, he tells this story in the book, but it's a terrifying, I was scared. It's this gigantic conference room in New York. You can see the Hudson River out the window. It's all these, as I say, lawyers, money, people, they're all there. And my job is to go and present, here's what we're doing. And then on the, on the screen is, is Barry's partner, just the scariest dude you've ever seen in your life. That is the guy who they modeled Mr. Burns on. That literally, They met with that guy and they're like, well, he needs to be a character in the show. He's that scary. And just, and you know, you're just, you're just terrified. Yeah. That day I knew I had this goal and I knew I had a win and I knew Cleve and I had done something that we just didn't think. We could do, we were thinking big and I talk about this in the book, we thought of ourselves at that moment as big thinkers, we thought big, we had this idea, we had the perfect talent, we made the sale, you know, each episode's 600, 000, 700, 000, we got 10 episodes, it's a deal right away, in the millions obviously, and so I was rockstar basically. I was I looked amazing. I had my best suit on. My wife was like, Whoa, what's going on today? You look fantastic. And I was like, I was so happy. Cleve was so happy. The whole team was so impressed. And we had these, these printouts. This is the way Dilla likes to work. You do these colored printouts of the whole plan for the show. So he can leaf through it as you go. And I even put gold binder clips. That's how cocky I was. Like, let's go with the gold. We don't want the black binder clip. And so I go through the entire presentation. This, this just, I paint the picture not only of the show, but of the whole success and, and how great this was and how rare it is. And they're all taking notes. They're all very, no one's wants to say anything until he says something. And he's leafing through and he says, he says. Why are we doing this again? And I left, I read that. I'm like, come on, man, left at Barry billionaire, Barry Diller at his face. Cause I didn't know what else to do. I hit a couple of bullet points and I knew something was going wrong, but I, I like, I know he understood it, but I don't have anything else to say what else And so I summed it all up again in 30 seconds. And he took the pile of papers and slid it across the, this giant dark wood table. As I say in the book, I can still hear the gold binder clip slide across the table. And he said, he looked at me now, wait, can I, can I curse on the mission matter? You can. So he looked and he, and he looked me dead in the eye and he said, it's a fucking lemonade stand. When you said that, oh. And I, I was absolutely shocked. Oh, my heart. And then he just destroyed it. He dismantled it. He basically said, I know this talent. I know this buyer. And he said, I know this type of show. This type of show is only going to last two seasons, three seasons. You can't do a version in France. You can't do a version in Italy, an Australia version in Dubai. This is only going to make X dollars per season. Let's he's like, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It lasts three seasons. I know how much this costs to make. Grand total, you're going to make us 4 million. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. 5 million. It's a fucking lemonade stand. What that, it just destroyed me because basically everything we had created up until that point, I was depressed. I went back upstairs to our giant. Development space and we had this huge room with this giant whiteboard with I, I have the number and I think it was like 84 86 different shows all on this huge board, the, you know, gigantic board, 86 shows on it and I said, Cleve, I'm really sorry. Here's what happened. And then I crossed out. I raised. Every show that wasn't eliminates and we were left with eight shows Wow What it taught me is we were thinking big we were in as big as Cleve Keller Not a billionaire and Dave Noll not a billionaire Not as big as we possibly could and we're and we're talking to Barry Diller Who knew the exact in depth, how valuable a Wheel of Fortune or a family feud. And, and so he said he destroyed me. But then over the course of the next couple weeks, he said, look, you and Cleve were brought in to create the next wheel of fortune. Mm-Hmm. Unique ability to create the next survivor. The next America's got talent. The next House Hunters, the next Price is Right. Do that. Don't do anything else. Because he, you would say, it takes the same amount of time to make your crappy six million dollars. Like it does to make hundreds of millions of dollars. So don't bring me a show ever again unless you see a clear, obvious path to over a hundred million dollars globally. And it, it changed everything we've ever done ever since that day. Yeah, it, what was, what, how did Cleve, what was Cleve's response when you, like, I, cause I feel like now I feel like I can even ask questions about Cleve cause I feel like I know you Cleve, if you're watching this, but even though we've never talked, but like, I've always heard her name out of your mouth, obviously, whenever we talk, cause that's your, that's your, you know, your, your partner there. But like, how did she feel? I was trying to put myself in her shoes. I'll say this Cleve is what I, I described Cleve as this. Popcorn popper. This display of ideas and that she has this crazy unique ability that I have never seen before. And I've been doing this now for 20 years. I've never seen anyone have this level of creativity. We can get an assignment from some netflix consume with us and say, here's what we want. We want. A dating show targeted exactly this person, but we don't want it here. We want it here. We want it set on an Island. We want it set in the mountains. They can say whatever they want. Cleve can come back Monday. Like I might have six ideas if in a great weekend, like I would go through all of our old stuff. I dissect other. other shows that we've done. I put the pieces back together into these very carefully. Cleve would have 36 ideas in a week, 45. And that, and that's her level of creativity. She is just unbelievable. But the, the really interesting thing about her is even more than me. She has this New Yorker So even though she's from Maine, and I'm from the nowheresville, New Jersey, the farm country, Jersey, she has this New Yorker, very tough attitude where, where she can flip and just be like, I get it. I'm totally in. He's right where wrong. Wow. So she just like the amount of trust and insight there just to be able to pivot on a dime like that. Oh, We still say to this day, me and you were in our emotions. And I say me, not cause I was there, but when I was in the reading the book, I was in my emotions, man. Cleaves like, I get it. He's right. Very quickly was like, he's right. This is exactly. And, and there's an excitement in her because she was like, he knows this much better than we do. A hundred million. That was her bang. Let's do it. Stop crying. Let's not do there's no sorrow here. Let's just go and move. And that's the, you know, to this day, that's what we did that. It is why before we worked with Diller, you know, we had done 80 episodes of TV or 150 or whatever. Now we're up to 3, 700. That's all related to that guy. Yeah. And I think, and you know, the business owners, the entrepreneurs, that executives that listen to this, like, obviously at mission matters, we create content, that's a given, but when I was thinking about applications, even of like in my past, I'm like, wow, how many businesses was I involved with? How many things that I do, how many things that I spend time on that We're never going to hit my goal, but I spent my time or money or effort on. And it's like, wow, if you had that right mindset in the first place and knew what the goal was, and if you had the right input and the right influence, it's like, man, how much time could you save? Right? So often we take these small steps and there are definitely times to take small steps. Yeah, dealer was essentially saying is it with what you all do, what is the biggest example? What is the start there and aim there? What's the biggest money making television show in history? It's things like, yes, it's Seinfeld. Yes. But it's not the Sopranos. It's not game of thrones. Biggest money making shows in history are things like wheel of fortune and family feud and American idol. And America's got talent. These things make in the course of their lifetime, a billion dollars wheel of fortune started in the seventies or the sixties. Wow. We started ages ago. Family feud started in the seventies. Like these are things that are still on, you know, it makes a ton of money. The today show, the tonight show, these are the types of brands you want to start. I want to talk about another concept that you talk about in the, in the, in the book that I, I didn't get it. Like we've met, you know, over the course of some years and you, you'd always go back to this. Point. Like it was always a starting point and I was thinking about it from first, from the context of our conversation. I'm so excited. Like I, which is he going to talk? Then I was thinking about it from the context of businesses as well. And now I've become a title snob. Oh, everything I look at, I'm looking at titles now for everything, and you always told me, you're like, you're like, well, what's the title? What's the title? Give the concept of like how important a title is in the show and, and in, in creating a show, because now I see it in everything I'm telling you, , I'm telling you. I see it everywhere and I'm like, ah, I'm, I'm over here trying to, trying to rank and rate. Are these the right kind? I might, this title might be, and obviously I'm an unqualified person to make. To make those judgments, but the title what's in a title it's the when you're creating a TV show I've heard executives say just the dumbest things. They'll say, well, the title doesn't matter. And you're just like, are you kidding me? Do you know how many I've said that to you? Tell it, you know, you don't remember this, but I remember you our first conversation. I remember it very clearly. Oh, and I'm, I'm for the audience. You were telling me about like, we're talking about shows, we're talking about things and I'm, and I'm thinking about like, even what we're doing and you're like, but what's in the title? What does it mean? And I'm like, ah, the title doesn't matter. It's just what I've said that to you. I'm sure you don't remember, but continue. So I have said the dumbest thing now, after I read it, I retract it. The title is everything. Continue, please. So sometimes we have sold shows based on title alone. Wow. And so that has led me to think. You know, so the way we look at it is, is we work extremely hard on titles. I have a list right now on my computer. That's more than 70 pages, 70 pages, not lying, 70 pages. And then small font. Cause this is in the book and it's there it's title, title, title, title, title. And then when it's great, when it's great, we highlight it. So we have it and I can just kind of rattle through and it's separated into different types of shows, adventure shows, cooking shows, dating shows, et cetera, game shows. And what that has, what we have realized is there are four star titles that they can sell the show alone, and then there's three star titles, which are at least great. And you're fine, but there are titles out there, like the show 24, that is such a great title. First of all, people love numbers. It makes you go, what is that about? And then you, you hear the hook. The hook is, there's 24 episodes and each episode's an hour and it's one day in this guy's life, he's a spy. He works for the government, whatever it is. Mm-Hmm. It's so compelling and immediate and, and brilliant. Saturday Night Live is, is a great title, not only because it's descriptive and this is the mistake a lot of people make. Oh, well, it's great because it describes the show. It's on Saturday nights and it's live. Yeah. But it doesn't just tell you the description of the show. It tells you the feeling of the show. There's an energy to Saturday Night Live where even if you've never seen it and you didn't know what it was, you just know like, how do you feel on a Saturday night? Yeah. If you're 22 years old, right? If you're 18, if you're 20, you're, you're on top of the world on a Saturday. And so Saturday night live, those words just jump out at you. And it's really obvious when, when people make just gigantic mistakes. And like, like the one I talk about there was a show, there was soap operas back in the day. One was called edge of night and one was called the search for tomorrow. And Tom Cruise does this. Amazing, awesome science fiction action movie is, I think, one of the greatest sci fi action movies of all time, and it's called when it came out, it's called, I think it was called edge of tomorrow. It's such a title that people never remember this movie and, you know, it's bad because in the interviews before the movie came out, The stars couldn't remember the title. If you can't even remember the title of the movie. If you're in Die Hard, you don't forget Die Hard. If you're in Lethal Weapon, you don't forget Lethal. If you're in The Matrix, you know you're in The Matrix. Yeah. If you're in a movie called Edge of Tomorrow and the stars are going, So the reason why I chose edge of night is because and you're like, no, the posters behind you. It's called edge of tomorrow. So they knew it was bad. And basically the producers realized when the movie came out and, and in all those focus groups thing. I can't remember. I can't remember. So lame edge of tomorrow. What's the feeling you get the edge of is a, is a, if that was like a, like a, I don't know, a lame seventies love song. Yeah. I love you to the edge of tomorrow. That makes it makes me feel epic science fiction action movie. So when they put out the DVD, the, the tat, one of the taglines for the movie was live, die, repeat. Tank. So when they put the DVD out and any marketing you see to this day, it's now called live, die, repeat, and in very small font, they say under tomorrow. But there's an example of it as a person who creates and who person who works in show business. I'm so offended on behalf of the thousands of people that worked on that movie, right? Or a thousand. A thousand people worked on that movie. That should have been a huge, huge movie. And instead it, it was, it was fine. I talk about The Town, which is this Ben Affleck movie that people don't remember. Oh, I have to see that one now because I feel like more people are going to see The Town because you wrote about it. The Crown is one of these great, action packed, edge of your seat crime movies that could have been nominated for an Oscar in multiple categories. And it's called the town. The way you described it in the book, I was cracking up. I was like, you're right. It does feel like this small town, cute, quaint, like whatever. It's not about Boston or about like, It's literally like a middle school player. Like, Oh, what player are you in Sally? It's called the town. It's about our town. And it's this insane, it's, it's got Oscar winners in it. It's this amazing movie. And the town did not do well. And it, I would imagine it's because it's called the town. I've asked, I now have, I've been taking a poll of my friends or anybody I talked to, and I just want, I'm just trying to find somebody that's seen it now. I'm like, did you watch the town? And they're like, what, what is it? Like, if they did see it, like I'm, I'm taking a poll and I'm going to continue to do it. It's just. One of my things now, I want to see, I want to find somebody that saw it and if they saw it, they don't remember it because they don't remember the title. So I went like a crazy person. I went through 30 or 40 years of TV, movie books, and, and song titles went through all these hits, only the hits. And then I listed words you see again and again, and again, and again. I said, if you want to, if you're titling anything. Yeah, use one of these words. And so, and so there's just gigantic list of words. They're royalty. People love king or queen America. They love word secret. Everybody loves there's words you see in hits again and again and again. And I, and this is all in the book. So for everybody, that's everybody that's watching and listening, just so you know, like in the book, Dave breaks down, she's got a list. there. I'm I'm a pull. I'm pulling some of your words already. I'm like playing with titles. I actually, and you don't know this, Dave, I was saving this to tell you on this. I have my creative team reading your book. I think at this point we've, we've I purchased at least 10 copies of your book. Chirag, Chirag, the other co founder here, he's reading it. Jeff Norris Cog, he's reading it. Matt cook, director of podcast agency. He's reading it. Jennifer's traveling right now, but she comes back. She's, this has become required. Kinda. I won't say required cause we don't require anything in our company, but but this has become highly suggested reading within our company and we're and the other co founder, he. He, his, his goal is to have this done in the next two weeks. We have a May or a first weekend of May meeting where we're going to do a deep dive based off of the book and kind of overview everything that we're doing at mission matters. That's how strongly we believe in your book and what you're teaching in there. So this isn't for everybody watching, like, Can't make this up. Like we're gonna, and I'll give you some plans here just so you know, Dave, cause I want this documented cause it is the truth. After you're reading your book and after that lemonade stand story, and after some of these other things I gave Chirag the high level of views, but now we're going to start focusing on making some hit shows. So we have some other things coming out down the line, and that might sound odd if somebody's watching, like, what do you mean? We're Well, we've always focused on, you know, our mission matters content, which we love, and we focus on all of that, but we've never really considered something outside of the brand of mission matters, which again, we don't have to do that. But why would we want to do that? Because we think there's other stories that need to be told. There's other concepts. There's other people that we want to feature. So all of that started though, after I was like, huh. You know what? There's, there's more here. And then I was thinking like, huh, there's a lot more in here and there's a lot more that we can do. So I'm excited. So I think our creative team and everybody else, they'll probably be done with this by the end of May with their sections in the book. So there's gonna be way more coming. So when I think about the business owners, the entrepreneurs that, the executives that are watching this, first, you know, all the leaders out there, CEO, C suite, grab a copy, read it. If you feel what I felt when I read it, this is not just an entertainment book. I know we've been talking about that a lot right now, but it's not just an entertainment book. It's really an exercise in, in creativity. There's framework. There's, I hope Dave has a coaching program coming out down the line. Cause I think it's definitely needed. I think there's going to, I bet he's got workshops and other things that he's planning or down the line. I know right now he's on the book tour and there's so many stories that maybe we didn't have time to cover today. Talks about, but I'm gonna leave a couple of teasers for the audience here. We got Walt Disney story going on the lot, talking to Walt Disney. Got Taylor Swift. How does Taylor Swift. Play into this. If you don't think she does, well, she does. Taylor Swift story. And so, so much more. Dave, final question for you here today. If, if, if there had to be, and this is an unfair question for any author, but I like to do it to him. I don't care. If there was one takeaway out of the book that you hope your readers walk away with takeaway, it could be a specific, it could be a feeling like, what do you hope that would be? It's funny because I didn't know what it was. People would ask that question and I had a terrible answer. It was, it was so long and boring and I knew it was a bad. And my friend, so I, one of my friends, because we've worked with her before is Carney Wilson from the band, Wilson Phillips and Carney has this amazing personality where she is just pure energy and pure creativity. Yeah. And she's brassy and ballsy and just a ton of fun. And so she asked me the question. She was like, what do you want people to take away? And I gave her this horrible answer, . And she, and I'm giving her the answer, and I'm 90 seconds, two minutes, two and a half minutes in. And she goes, stop, stop. You're effing boring me. You're, and you're effing wrong. Except she didn't say effing shit. Yeah. And she, and she said, the book is to inspire you more. That's what every page is. You're gonna, if you want, if you're, if you're an entrepreneur, if you're a content creator, if you're a creator, she's like, you have been doing it for such a long time. You forget that the, the whole thing about your energy, it's to inspire. And she said she's like, what I love about you is you're so effing smart and you're so effing sweet. And you're so effing stupid. And it's all in the same package. And so she killed me. She killed me. But she was like, That's the thing you want to inspire people. Yeah. Well, well, I think you're going to accomplish that. And so much more, if the people that are watching or listening if they want to connect with you, if they want to follow the journey, like what, like how do people do that? How'd they grab the book, Amazon, your website, like give, give us a feel for how people do that. Well, you can get the book on Amazon or Barnes and Noble right now. If you would like an autograph copy, my website is dave noll tv.com, so D-A-V-E-N-O-L-L t.com. And everybody really connects with me on LinkedIn. So I, I'm on Facebook, I'm on Instagram, but LinkedIn is where people connect and they reach out, and I try to get back to as many people as I possibly can. Amazing.

Podcast” full Adam Torres  Hey, I'd like to welcome you to another episode of Mission Matters. My name is Adam Torres. And if you'd like to apply to be a guest in the show, just head on over to missionmatters. com and click on be our guest to apply. All right. So today's guests are Emily and Jean Trowbridge, and I'm so proud and happy to announce they've recently launched their podcast. Hey, am I adopted? And it's been so much fun. I've been following the show involved of course, with with the distribution and first off, I just want to say Emily and Jean, thank you so much for making some time for me out of your recording schedule to, to be on the show. So thank you. Well, thank you for having us. Yeah. We have so much to talk about through the first couple of episodes and we're, we're definitely going to do a deep dive into the show. And the, the, the format, the vision, I know it's a newer show. I definitely want my audience to check it out. But before we get into all that, we'll start this episode, the way that we start them all with what we like to call our mission matters minute. So Emily Jean we at mission matters, we amplify stories for entrepreneurs, executives, and experts. That's what we do. Emily Jean. What mission matters to you both? So our mission matters is to create a platform for adoptees to listen, relate, and share their stories. That's right, Emily, and I just want to amplify the fact that our mission is for adoptees. There are a lot of great podcasts out there for adoptive parents and what to do when you're looking to adopt a baby, but that's not what we are. We're a family of four adoptees. And so Kaye, my wife, and I, of course, are adopted parents, but we, Concentrate on telling the story of being four adoptees and all the stories are different, right, Adam? Oh my gosh, they are. And I, and I think this is a great, this is a great place to start to start is why did you feel, I know, I know you both put in a lot of work into kind of looking at different podcasts that were out there in general and then adoptees at one that's specifically telling the story of adoptees. Why did you feel that was so important to get out there? I'll take this one. So I kind of, my dad, you know, he's, he's like, he's a securities attorney. And so he's been doing, he's ran his own podcast now for years and interviews people. And I get to watch him on stage all the time and this and that. And, and over the course of our life, we've talked about adoption. It's very big in our family, big thing. And as I started doing some research for myself, for personal reasons, just curious, there wasn't anything out there. And, or there was a podcast about, like my dad said, adopted parents or what it's like to adopt a child. And it was kind of almost sad. I was like, wow, there's like no one that I can relate to. Or someone that I might have my story besides my own family. And so I said to my dad, I go, what about us? Why don't you talk all the time? I talk a lot. So why don't, why don't we create a podcast? What do you think? And at first he kind of was like, I don't, I don't know, Emily, I don't know who would listen to this. You know, like, I don't, I don't get it. And then we kind of started talking about it. And then actually for 2023 for Christmas, my dad gifted me the experience. And ultimately my biggest thing too, is I got to spend time with my family talking about it. And I didn't know that it was going to be that big, but that's really been the biggest impact for me. So that was the big reason behind it for me, for me. What about you, Jean? Like what, as you kind of dug through this, Yes. When Emily brought up the issue about two years ago. I thought it was like many other issues that Emily brought up. If I just ignored it, it'll go away. I'm going to fall out of my chair. And we're all busy. Emily is a very busy person on this. And so I just let it all go away, but it never went away. And it kind of got me when she said if we had this podcast and we had these episodes, After I'm gone, she'd be able to Look at me and listen to me and rewind our stories, and that would be the same with Kay and myself, because we're both in our mid 70s, and that's, you know, that could, could happen. We've all been adopted from day one, we all know that, but In different stages of our life, it's meant different things. So that's what kind of got me. And then quite honestly, I figured if we did it, she'd shut up about it. Quite honestly, Adam, and I told you before I told Emily, I said, well, that's good. We've got about four episodes. There's four of us. We have an episode on each of us and then it's over. What are we going to do next? But I did see one other thing. I did see one or two episodes, one or two podcasts that say they're talking about adoptees, but they're not talking to adoptees. They're talking, we wrote books about being adopted. And, and that isn't necessarily where we're, where we're going is, as you can tell from the first three or four episodes, you've listened to, Adam, and, and, Emily, you know, this, there's a lot of tangents, a lot of tangents we can go on because we're the adoptees. And I think that's, I think that's going to be cool. I've, I've actually learned a lot about myself. I think in episode nine, we did another one about me and it was much different than the first one we did about, I've learned some stuff yet. I think that's what's been the coolest thing too, is that, For me, I think I wanted to learn more about myself and what, and, and express what I felt. Like, you know, we have a very open family and that's amazing, but it's different when you say it out loud and you know, other people can hear, hear you. It's very vulnerable to, to do that. And I think that also gives maybe the listener You know, a little bit like, okay, you're, if you're saying that there's something about that, that's really nice and relatable, I think. And so even if you're not adopted, I think it's still like these stories that you can hear and go, maybe I felt like that, or I experienced that in my life too. So that to me was like a big deal, but what's been so interesting is how much you learn about, we're learning about ourselves or each other along the way, which I think was my dad's biggest fear when we went into this, was that, you know, He's like, well, there's things you don't know about me. I'm like, that's kind of a fun part. You know, tell me more. And from the outside looking in, I'm telling you, I'm, I'm through episode two. I'm looking forward to the next episode, which is going to be your story, Emily. And I'll say that you know, as an outsider looking in and waiting for the next episode, I feel like I'm part of the family. It's so interesting because I feel like I'm sitting there sitting at the table with with, with you, with both of you. And then also. So being your wife obviously went on episode one. And I feel like where I'm there as part of the family, I'm curious, as you've been sharing this around, like, you know, your circles and whatnot, like it, what, what's been the feedback so far, especially for maybe people that know you. Well, for, for me, I shared it with some friends. And so some of my friends, you know, my parents are big characters. They're just, they have it going on. Personalities. My character. So it was like the cutest response. I keep a consistent. What I get is, Oh my gosh, it sounds just like how your parents are all the time. It's like sitting out on a boat ride on their dock or on their boat and just listening to them go back and forth all day long, they're like, it feels just like you're at home, so that's nice. It's nice to hear. Also people going who don't know my family. They know me through whatever aspect in life. They're just like, I didn't know this about you. And I didn't know this about your family and what it, and I like that it, they think it's all so unique. They're like, that's so cool that you guys talk about this. And, and then the most, the biggest ones, I sent that to you, to you, dad. I had, there was someone who had reached out to me on Instagram. Saying that they had, they weren't adopted, but they were like the feelings of what you're expressing. They're like, I felt this way and I've never been able to have anyone explain it so well. That person's feeling was rejection, right? Even though they weren't adopted, they they, they gathered the thought about rejection. And that's, that's interesting. One of the things that we talked about on the last episode that I, that is creeping into my story is the application of being an only child adopting. And Emily had a sibling, Kay has a sibling, I Except for a couple months, I never had a sibling, and just as foreshadowing, you've got to get to my episode where I talk about the Mary Beth incident. But anyhow, what do you do when you're an only child? There's a whole characteristic that I studied a long time in my life about what does an only child do. Now I'm in, now then I, I'm digging more into what is an, how does an adoptee act? And how does an adopted only child act? I mean, it's amazing. I haven't shot myself yet. I think no wonder I'm so screwed up, you know, and for me, it's all about just walking out of the picture. It's so easy for me just to. Walk out of the picture. I work alone. I have always worked alone. I love working alone. And I don't know which one plays on me more being the only child or being the adoptee. And I think they come together in a, in an interesting place. Oh, I haven't gotten to that episode yet. I'm excited though. This is like getting to the, as you were going through this and I know and for the listeners, when you start getting into this show, you're going to hear some of the actors. of learning side of things between family members. So for example, I'm like, I remember one of the stories that you mentioned, Jean you're like, have you heard this story? And Emily's like, no, no, no, I haven't heard this story. Like, tell me, tell me. And so like, you're learning actively as about, and so is the audience as well at the same time. So I'm curious just whether it's creatively or otherwise when you're like, is there's gotta be some self reflection or something else going. Are you also maybe learning about yourselves as you go through this process? Absolutely. I think for me, and this is what I did expect from this a little bit. Like when I thought about doing this and then my dad said, yeah, let's do it. And I talked over with some friends and whatnot. I, the biggest thing is people, like he said, I said earlier, you know, you're going to find out things or there's things you don't know about me and everyone was worried, well, what, how's that going to change? And I was like, you know, I don't, I don't think it's going to change it. I think it's going to explain things. And that's been the biggest. Impact for me too, with both my parents is that. Being so lucky to hear their stories. It's almost like you have a related, like not even a relatability, just an origin to their story that you're like, that that's maybe why you do the things you do the way you do them. And it just kinda, it's like I said, it's an explanation of kind of who they are. And in such an in depth form that you didn't know bothered them. And then, and then to the other point is the, some of the stuff that we've talked about in these next episodes, you haven't heard yet. It's really the impact of specifically like traumas that adoptees go through and what the stigma of those words are and how that affects us each. And, and that's been fun. And it's been so great to have my mom be part of the show as well, because then you get three different, you know, Ways of thinking about it. And it's, and I learned every time we get off of an episode, there's like a phone call a day later, like, you know, I didn't think about that. I didn't, now I'm thinking about that. Now I'm racking my brain about this. So it's been kind of interesting. One of the things that's happened to your mom and I, cause Emily's up in Utah and we're down here in Orange County. And Your mom and I are finding ourselves spending more time talking about it, talking about the, the journey talking about the, you know, as, as Jimmy Buffett says, some of it's magic and some of it's tragic 'cause we've had a tragedy in our family and we talk about it a lot right now. Then we have in the past and we conjure up things that we hadn't remembered and thoughts and it's it's quite emotional for the two of us and Surprising in a good way. Mm-Hmm. , I'm I'm send, just so you know, I'm sending this these episodes to my mom. I don't know, she doesn't know what a podcast is. She hasn't listened to podcast ever. I'm like, mom, that's what I do for a living. She's like, okay. Like, I'm on Facebook. Is it on Facebook? That's all she knows. Whatever. . . That's cute. But anyway, I'm like, mom, we, I said, mom, should we do a podcast? She's like, what? What are you talking about? I'm like, but then I thought about it and I'm like. Wow. It would be such an interesting and nice thing to have that experience with my mom and to have that type of com those conversations with her. And I was, as, as I've been going through it and I'm like, there's just so many layers of of benefit to what you're doing, in my opinion, to inspire others. Like, think about it. I I'm even thinking about launching the show with my mom. Now be based off of your show. Cause I see it and I see that connection and I'm like, It's, it's an amazing thing when I think about my grandparents and their stories and all the things, let's just say, along the way that have been kind of lost, like, you know, I don't really know the, the, that, the stories that well of my grandparents and definitely not from their voices, like not at all, like not really so I, I maybe know some of it that my parents taught and told me a little bit about, but Not too much. So I think it's I think it's an interesting way to also bond as a family. And it's, it's interesting to let others into your, your, your lives as well. So like, so for example, myself being able to listen in and the audience be able to listen in at any point, like in your process where you kind of like hesitant, like, ah, do I want, do I want these stories out there? Or like, like what kept you going? Cause this is what I'm grappling with By the way. So I'm telling, I'm asking this for me, not the audience, because I'm like, well, do I want my mom behind the mic talking about me as a kid? I don't know. Well, Emily, let me answer that question first. I'm in the nine episodes we've done. Yeah. I don't think I have had one thought about the audience. My whole deal is Emily and Kate. Oh, I mean, Kate's always sitting alongside of me when we when we do it and we do it from our home. And then Emily is maybe she's at home, but she's sitting in the dining room. And then maybe she's in Utah at the time. And I think it's a closed conversation. I have never dealt with it. But I will say one thing on a different topic. When I talk to people about doing this People who aren't adopted say, Oh, I want to listen. Oh yeah. That's a surprise. That's very much of a surprise. I mean, I don't think they want to listen because I'm so cool. They want to listen to me babble on, but they do have, there are a lot of people out there who have a great view of our family, right, Emily? Yeah. We present a family out there and And I think people might want to see that. Well, that's, that's my answer to that question. I, I, I hope we have an audience. But between Emily and her mom and me. I, I would say like, you know, I, I did think about it. Cause there's, you are letting people into your personal stories. Which come with, and you, and we, there's definitely things where. When we were learning how to like kind of how do we go about this and how are we going to talk about these subjects? I think a lot of it was, is there anything off the table? And really our family's an open book. It always has been. And I think that's, that's what made it easy. And kind of also, I think that was what made it also really important for me to make sure that we got to do this because I think there is, like I said, there's that vulnerability factor of inviting people in and telling them the truth. And I think that I don't feel judged by it. And it's not something that we wouldn't talk about anyways. If someone asked, you know, we were, I was definitely raised that way. My mom, my mom and dad were very like, they're very big on telling the truth and very big on, you know, you are who you are. So it's like, you know, people are going to accept it or they're not. And you have to learn to deal with that as well. But the, but the reality is it's not like we're yelling at each other, but you can tell there's times where I was like, that wasn't okay. Like in the middle and that makes it real. That's real life, real life. That's what was so interesting to me. And it's, and then you, you. All you communicate very well, obviously, like I shouldn't say obviously, but for everybody, when they listen and you, you obviously have real conversations, but it doesn't mean you're always agreeing with each other. Like you will say that or Gina be like, or then your mom will be like no, I don't know. I don't think it's that. I do laugh when you both correct Gene though, it's funny. I do. I'm like, I'm at your dinner table and they cut you off and I'm just going to take another bite of my food and look down. Well, one of my wife's great comments towards me is, well, that's as you remember it. Oh yes, that's epic. I forgot that. I, I'm trying to. Add that to my vernacular into my, into my, how I talk to people. Oh, that's how you remember. It's such a good tool. So we joke about, we'll go, Oh, well, as I recall, or as I, as I remember it, because the way he remembers it is sometimes totally far off in a different world and we're like, what were you in the same place at the same time? And when that happened, so it's. One of the things I think that makes it easy for us is we've always. Known we were adopted always all of all four of us knew from day one We've we've been adopted. So as I as I said Emily many times It's like you go up to someone and say hi, I'm Jean. I have brown eyes. I play the trumpet. I run and I'm adopted Yeah, it's just Independence is part of our intro so it's no problem About, about talking about it, because that's what what we are. I used to walk, my dad was a school teacher, and I used to go to the same school that he taught at. We'd walk down the hall, and my dad was 6'2 and I'm 5'6 And people would come up and say, you know, you look just like your dad. And I'd go, what? You know? And then I'd immediately say, well that can't be, because I'm adopted. You know? We both did, we had blue eyes, but other than that, that was about it, you know. And I think that's a little bit funny thing for our family is that we're all adopted and we're all tiny. So no one's, I'm only four 11. So like we all kind of fit together like little puzzle pieces. So it's ironic that, so I don't think it's as big of a difference when people see us. I think they automatically, like you resemble each other to some degree. And I also know families that they're actually blood related and they look nothing alike. So to some degree you just kind of, it doesn't matter, but we did talk about that. Or my mom says, did you guys notice you both do this? And we, and my dad and I both do it. We'll say, hi, I'm out, you know, I'm Emily. Nice to meet you. Oh, yeah, I do this. I do that. And Oh yeah. Oh, I'm adopted. It's like one of the first things I, and at first we thought it was a defense mechanism and the reality, as I said, I think it's because it is, it's our, it's our identity, it's something we identify as an included as, and I think we're both very proud of it in a lot of ways. So it's become part of our introduction. So, so as I remember it, all three of you do fit. Did I, did I use it right? All three of you do fit like puzzle pieces. When I met all three of you at the same time in Orange County, that's, that's a weak attempt to use it, but I'm going to get better at it. As I remember it, that's, that's coming. That's coming. Let me circle to something else real quick. I, I, the name of the show, I forgot to ask you. So, Hey, am I adopted? Where'd that come from? Dad, do you want to tell the story? No, you tell the story. So as as I recall As I recall I don't think I ever said that Yeah, that's not my part or my lexicon. I tell the story of when people go. How'd you know you were adopted? So I said as I recall I remember walking go running into the house into the kitchen I was about three years old like I think had been playing outside with my sister and the neighbor kids And I said to my mom I go. Hey am I adopted? And she like grasped, you know this like Yes, I'm like, wait, but you're a little kid. So I was like, oh, okay. And I ran outside and said, yeah, yeah, I am. That's that's, that was it. And so we thought that was a funny thing because anyone who's adopted at some point is like, Oh, am I adopted? I'm adopted. Or like, there's a questioning in your head of what that means. So my dad liked that idea. And it's actually, as I recall the story, that is my story. No one else recalls that story at all. That way. And you knew, you knew ahead of time, you knew before that you were adopted. Yeah, the interesting part after that was I also go with there was these books in my mind and I, that's how I, again, how I remember it. There was these books that my mom read to me as an infant is how I say the story. And I had never seen the books before in my, I thought I made this up. And my mom, when I, we were talking about doing the podcast and I said, I also have to clarify it. Like, is this even true? Cause this is what I've been telling people my entire life. And now I'm like, am I lying? And she comes down with these like ancient books and they, they, they existed. And I was like, it was that weird moment where I was like, wait, that, Oh, like, so your memory somehow remembers these things. And sure enough, she said, I read this book to you from day one. And that's, I was like, that's how I said, I remembered it. So that's amazing. Yeah. And you know, Adam, not all the stories in the family are good. You know, and so we had, we've had a tragedy in the family, and if you listen to the, to the episode, you'll, you'll, you'll learn it. See, I'm foreshadowing now, not wanting to listen, right? Okay. It's not all giggles. So we, we had, you know, a 17 year battle, and that's a little difficult. We had one episode. On that, and I've talked to Emily since then and saying, you know, that we just didn't go deep in that one. We were, we were hesitant on on that one. And I want to do another one. I want to do another one on that when we get to it. And there'll be some crying in that one. I think there was the first time, but I think, but I, again, like, I think that's the best part of it is the fact that you're willing to talk about things. And I think that I I'm hoping that people listen, that either it enables the, you know, them to want to talk to me, it opens up that door where like, Hey, like, I want to share this. And sometimes, cause sharing is such a thing. I mean, we're natural storytellers as part of like the human, the human Way of, of doing things. And so I think there's something that's really interesting in that and what comes of it and the sympathy and the empathy that comes from storytelling. And so to me, they're not always good stories and that's okay, but not every, again, it's life, everyone can, has had hard times and, and it's, I think the, the positive of it is you get to see this family that's coming together years later and talking about it and talking about it again. And again, hoping there's people out there that, you know, want the, the To come on this platform and tell, because you never know who's listening and who it could reach. We talk about something that almost every adoptee is going to think of at one time, and it's finding their birth parents. And Kay and Emily and Amy and I all have totally different approaches to that. And that's an interest that shows up in the episodes. And that's pretty, that's pretty interesting. And I see as this as this evolves and, and, and many shows have kind of gone in this direction, but the idea gets bigger and bigger. Like you mentioned, Jean. So when you first started, you're like, okay, well we got four episodes. I know there's four of us. And now of course you're going deeper. The show's getting deeper. You're you're exploring. Exploring more. And as you mentioned this, at some point we'll be, you'll be bringing on other guests possibly that are adoptees to tell their stories. So it's become already this platform. And I know we've talked kind of offline a little bit about your concept of the community around this and what the building a community around this show and this concept would, would look like. Maybe just share, you know, broad, broad strokes. What, what would that community look like or what kind of things, why would that be a benefit? Well, in our mission statement, we use the words relate and share, so we're going to put ourselves out there. Hopefully people will join us and want to relate their story. They've listened to us. Now they want to relate their story and share with us and the audience. Now at that point, I'm really thinking it is important that. The audience is important. Although I might just be happy enough to hear if you were adopted, Adam, just hear your story and that's fine. I don't care if anyone's listening, but yeah, those are the best shows, by the way, Gene, just FYI. They are. No, they are. And I've, I mean, I've studied this, like David Letterman's, the Johnny Carson's, everything. Seinfeld, like they created content for themselves. Just throwing that out there. So what you're saying isn't just a comment. Like I'm not saying I'm a great, I've read the greats and they've all said exactly that in one way, shape, or form. Like all of them, what you just said, I just wanted to let you know that. That's all. Emily commented on storytelling. We're all storytellers in our family. And I be excited when someone else comes on and tells our family their story. And then we can relate to them. And eventually, I think Emily has some ideas. What happens when we get five or six thousand of those people commenting and being guests? What do we do next? Emily? This is all evolving, but I know Emily has some thoughts. Yeah, like when you said community, I said, you know, I think that's originally kind of what I was looking for, even without knowing it is that because like I said, again, I, you know, there was, I, you look up books and you look up podcasts and things to listen to. My dad and I are, we, we do half marathons together. So we trained for half marathons and that's where I started listening to podcasts was that I couldn't listen to music for 13 hours or first, sorry, 13 miles. Yeah. And I started to train listening to podcasts. It was entertaining and you know, you're, you're running for two hours to train so many days a week. And so it was something that just, Kept my mind off of the run and listened to these cool stories. And that was one of my, one of my big, my biggest actual like mentor without them even knowing it is Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson do sibling rivalry. And it's about talking to other people and their siblings. And I, I just love their show so much. And I listened and listened and listened and no one was adopted. And I was like, where, where's my community? Where's mine. And that was really it. And so when we finally started talking about it, it was like, I finally, we found one adoption podcast that we listened to where, and I listened to one episode and immediately it was like, I knew this person and I never met them in my life. I don't know where he lives in like Ohio. And I listened to his story and I was so. It was so emotional for me to feel like I immediately related to someone that I didn't even know about this subject. You know, I ride horses so we can talk to horse about horses along with lots of people and that's relatable, but this was so important to me and to hear how it affected them. I was, it was just, again, it was so impactful. And so I was like, I really want to do this and I want to, I want to create that community. And I would like to be able to have where it's like, You know, maybe there's meetups. I don't know. We'll see, but it would be one of those. It just, I just know how much it made me feel good that I was like, if I can do that for other people and get a community around, I just be real and be helpful to resourceful for others, that would be great too. And Emily has thrown around the word foundation. And I think we're a long way from that, but there are other podcasts that have Oh, have contributors or whatever, whatever they're called. And they, they have meetups, whether they're virtual or, or live or whatever. And I think, you know, we're. Right now it's the three of us and you, so I don't need to have a meetup. We've already had one meetup two weeks ago, right? At your, at your monthly mission matters meeting here in Orange County. But that's what you asked for. When you talk about, use the word community, Emily, it's work. I love it. Here's a plug. That's what Mission Matters is about. Absolutely. I just said watch what you ask for. That's all I said. There are, I think there are other podcast promoters and podcast hosts in the world, but through my involvement with Mission Matters early on, I decided if we were going to do this, that that's, that's who I was going to use. And that's who I was going to sign the contract with. And. So far, it's, it's been everything we've we've thought about, hasn't it, Emily? Absolutely. And even just the, our local meetup, the Orange County Mission Matters meetup was, so I already actually keep in touch with three of the people that I talked to that night. And cause just being able to, again, sense of community, talking to people, they were like, how's it going? We're listening. You know, and they were like, and they're like, I think we know some people that like to share their stories. So it's just a way to connect to other people that event again, that's, that's the goal I think for us is to connect with other people and hope that they want to share their stories or enthrall them to make them feel like it's not so scary. Well, I have to say, I mean, this has been, this has been great. I mean, I'm excited for the next step. That's my, my weekend listening. I'm going to be listening to episode three, a daughter's story. I listened to a father's story. I listened to the first episode. So that's on my listening list. But that being said, I have to ask you both Emily, Jean, I mean, what's next, what's next for you, what's next for the show? What do you think, Dad? Well, I think it's about time. I think we have all the pieces in place to go out and ask people if they'd like to share their stories. I mean, we couldn't do that unless there was a way that they could. Could respond to us and there are some graphics and we have a you know, we have a website We are we're on we have a youtube channel We're we're ready to go. Thanks to Adam your group and emily We're ready. I mean I have a I have a huge database in the you know, the tens of thousands Who know me from my Law in my real estate work, and I'm not bashful and I can just see it It's going to say the subject line is going to say hey, are you adopted? And then I'm gonna go in and say, you know, you know me from real estate But did you know I'm one of four adoptees in the same and we've got a podcast and we'd love to hear your story Respond here. And that's all I'm going to say. Oh my gosh, you're going to have, you're going to get a lot of responses. I think I'm going to do about a hundred at a time because I, I'm, you know, even if I got two or three responses and that would take us for another month, you know, I think we're, I think we're on our, I think we're on our way, but we had to get there. Yeah. Don't you think we're there now, Emily? Oh, yeah, absolutely. And then I think my final thing to say would be for the vision of the show is like My dad did mention a foundation and I think ultimately if we can create this platform and have a community I would like to have a foundation because I would like to have like I said I would like to have resources for adoptees specifically that we could help You know, there's always like, as a kid growing up in your, let's say you're applying for college, there's grants and whatnot, but it would be nice to be able to give back specifically to something that means so much to us. So that would be the, I think the big goal for me, that would be something we'd like to do because I'm already getting what I want out of it. I get to have this fun time with my family talking about this stuff. So I'm fortunate. So I'd like to give back as well to other people. That's amazing. And if somebody wants to, I don't, I don't know if it's live yet, but correct me if I'm wrong. Is the website live? Yes. All right. So what, so next steps somebody wants to check out the website, check out the platform overall. How do they do that? So the website is just, Hey, am I adopted. com? And if you, if anyone wants to, any, any questions or do they want to maybe talk to us or whatnot if they just do info at, Hey, am I adopted. com? We'll get right back to you. So we're on it. Our K is the gatekeeper. Yeah, it is going to be the gatekeeper of the info at Hey, am I adopted and then she'll pass it on to both of us because many times, Emily sitting on a horse or to be the gatekeeper and she's got a pretty expansive personality. So she's the perfect person to perfect person to do that. 52 years, Adam. I've been married, it'll be 52 years in June. Amazing. Congratulations. That's, that's amazing. Well, I have to say this has been one of the first, this is, I mean, I've done over 6, 000 episodes. This is my first father daughter episode and I've thoroughly enjoyed myself. My job, I've laughed so hard. I have some new words. I have some new phrases, man. I hope the for everybody listening and watching this, I hope everyone got a lot of enjoyment out of this cause I sure did. We'll put the website, all that information into the show notes so that you can just click on the links and head right on over and speaking to the audience, if this is your first time with us and you haven't done it yet hit that subscribe button. This is a daily show. We have many more great. Stories that we're bringing to you. And we don't want you to miss a thing. And if you've been watching us for a long time, we're listening for a long time. And you haven't left that review yet. Definitely get that review. And we definitely appreciate it.

My name is Adam Torres. And if you'd like to apply to be a guest in the show to set on over to mission matters. com and click on, be our guest to apply. All right. So I've been waiting for this interview for quite some time now. So. So we have Tiffany slain on the line and she's going to be launching a book with us and women connect for good, big shout out to Dr. Nancy for making that intro to Tiffany. And Tiffany is an artist, a filmmaker, and so, so, so much more. We're today, we're going to get into the book just a little bit because we'll be bringing Tiffany back on the show later when the when the book is out and live, but Tiffany also has a ton of other. Projects and films and things she's working on. So the teen brain film she's got a whole lot more. She's got an art show coming up in NYC on and on. We're going to get into all this, but before we do we'll start this episode the way that we start them all. First off, Tiffany, welcome. So happy to have you here. I'm so happy to be here. So Tiffany we're going to start it with our, our mission matters minutes. So at mission matters, Tiffany, our aim is to amplify stories. We get them out for entrepreneurs, executives, and experts. That's our mission. Tiffany, what mission matters to you? The mission that matters to me is telling stories and history in new ways. So I'm just finishing a film on the teen brain and I'm taking very complicated neuroscience and making it accessible for teens and the adults that love them, parents and educators. And one of the big artworks I've done recently is called dendrofeminology, a feminist history tree ring. And like the timelines you see at national parks, I have reimagined the timeline on a slice of tree to be about a feminist history dreaming. So both of those are examples. Like a lot of my films and work is telling stories in new ways or re imagining and highlighting histories you don't normally hear about. So women's histories, feminist histories in my work. Yeah, it's amazing. And we're glad to have you here. And I want to get further into this work, but I guess just to get us kicked off, Tiffany, how, like as an artist, a filmmaker, a lot of different directions you can choose for your, for your career. You mentioned the theme a lot to support in supporting women supporting women topics, issues around, around feminism and helping and, and equality. Like, How did you, did you know, like, was this a progression? Had you always started here with your art and with your craft or like, like, how'd you get here? That's such a great question. I mean, I think I always felt in my family, you know, both my father and mother were feminists. My mother went back to school to get her PhD in psychology when I was eight. So I really watched her and she wrote about successful women and their female mentors for her dissertation. And then my father, who was a surgeon, he also wrote a lot about goddess culture, like, Wow. How come in every civilization in the world got goddesses were worshiped and what was the single event that kept happening that changed the sex of God from a woman to a man? And so, and he always thought women were almighty and powerful. And so I think from both of my parents, I really, I think, Came from a place of strength. And then when you go out into the world, so if you grew up in a really feminist household where you, you can do anything and the dynamics of society where that isn't the case. And so I think in a lot of my work, it felt like my responsibility to lift up the stories of women and fight for women's rights. And and I think, you know, I've made a lot of films that deal with that. And now I'm making a lot of art dealing with that subject sculptures. And, but I think. All of my work is really it usually comes from something I'm really interested in. Like, I'm curious myself, like being a woman in the world, I also have two daughters. So I have a husband who likes strong women. So I think just reframing that narrative through my work has been important. That that's interesting to me. I I mean, for many reasons, but even just your household dynamic growing up for you to say your father, you know, he's a student. Surgeon and a feminist. Like I've heard some variations of having that, but normally they're not, so normally they're not surgeons. Normally they're like, you know, they were I'm not picking anybody. My dad was a hippie, whatever. And he was very open minded when he would not, you know, like whatever, but normally they're not surgeons. My dad wasn't a surgeon. I feel like that's pretty forward thinking or like, or I don't even know what the word is there, but that's unique. He was definitely extraordinary person. And I think he had a strong mother. I think that very much. But I think maybe it was having two daughters who are really strong. And I remember him telling me and my sister as young. Girls at the time that we had an amazing power, almost the way he talked about it, that it was more powerful and know how to treat it with respect and to do good in the world. Like from an early age. And then, you know, he, of course he wrote these books about women and power. I told you about the book about the alphabet, the goddess and got a culture, but he also wrote a book called sex, time and power, how females sexuality shaped human evolution. So he wrote a lot of the brain and biology and power dynamics. So I think I've always been interested in that. And he passed away 15 years ago, but he had a strong influence. And then my mother watching her, she was of the generation where really, I think a lot of women felt like they had to decide of being a mother or having a career for sure. to school. So I saw her, both of my parents loved what they did. So that was never a question. Like, love what you do and be your own boss. That was another big message that because as a surgeon and a psychologist, they were their own bosses. So I, I, that was all I, and, and both the, all three of the kids, my brother and sister and I, we are all bosses. So it's really interesting on what they've instilled in me from a young age. What about that? The entrepreneur, a lot, a lot of business owners, a lot of entrepreneurs that, that watch this program as well. Like, what about that slant towards entrepreneurship? I feel like that, that was also like unique. Be your own boss. Like, is that, that entrepreneurship side in the family that was always condoned? All of us, all of us are, I mean. That must make for an interesting, like, whatever the holiday is conversation. You have all these entrepreneurs, all these feminists getting together, like to be a fly, a fly on your wall, like during whatever holiday you're celebrating is interesting. It is interesting because I don't like use the entrepreneur label. I remember a woman recently invited me to this entrepreneur event. She said, you're such an entrepreneur. Cause yeah, I founded the Webby Awards in my twenties. And I saw that and I'm like, that's, I mean, you may not like the word entrepreneur, whatever. I'm not saying you said that, but like you are an entrepreneur. It's funny. I just have never like used it as one of I'd be like, I'm a filmmaker. I'm an artist, but I would never forefront entrepreneur because it's just a vehicle to do all these projects. I want to do. So when I ran the webby awards for, you know, 10 years, I was running a business, a lot of employees. And then I sold that to start a film studio. And now I haven't, you know, and I'm still making films and I'm also making a lot of art and doing a lot of art exhibits and they're all businesses on some level. I mean, you have course. All big ideas take money and management and insurance, like proposals. And, but I think that's very much in my DNA, but I, you know, I've always, especially now and where I am in life after I've done so many different kinds of projects, like from the Webby awards to lots of films, to a book. To these art exhibits. And, you know, I, with Dr. Nancy, we had in the national women's history museum, we had my sculpture, dendro feminology, a feminist history, cheering installed on the national mall this last November. And we did a lot of feminist activations around it, which was really exciting. And they're all, you know, kind of big ideas that I need to somehow make happen. And at this point in my life, I do go through a process of how do I make something happen because it's about. Visualizing the idea, bringing the support around you to make that idea happen, building a coalition of partners to make that happen. And then and then you make it happen. So even though they have different manifestations, whether it's a film in a movie theater, or it's a book you read, or it's A sculpture you see, like they all take these kind of processes to make it happen. Yeah. So I want, I want to take that a step forward. I like to work in kind of one of those pay it forward type questions whenever I can. So the, for the creatives out there, like that have these big dreams as well, but you know, like you said, you have to assemble a team. You have to figure out ways to ways to make your idea a reality. Whatever word we're using, entrepreneurship, fundraising, whatever the word is, right. Like what kind of advice would you give to, let's just say the new group of creatives that aren't quite as established as you, they're just kind of getting started, they got these ideas, they want to do these things. And in today's market, like, what would you tell them? Sorry, but you might've heard my dog. We're dog friendly. We're dog friendly, kid friendly cats. I want to see, you can have some whiskers come across. It's okay. So what I would say is that build support around you, that there's, there's People in your life that are a little further along in your, in a career path. And reach out to them, take them out, offer to take them out to lunch. Like, I think our society doesn't have the culture of like mentorship and apprentice and it's a beautiful model from a long time ago that we should really bring into the world today. But there's so many people that I wouldn't officially say like, you're my mentor, but they were, I mean, they, they, I reached out to them. I asked them for advice. Took them out to lunch kept them posted on projects. And I think there's mentors all around us. I mean, older, younger, you know, even younger, if like with the social media these days, they can venture. But I mean, I think it's just a way of looking at the world that everyone has something to teach someone else. You have something to teach someone and somebody else has something to teach you. So. Really looking in your life at like, what do you want to build on who you are and who can help you get there? And I I'm really into like, I'm in part of a women film director group and we meet once a month. And when I wanted to write my first book, I was in a writing group with just three of us. It was three total, but we turned in 10 pages a month. And it's about that support. I think that's a big thing that especially entrepreneurs usually are thought of, they're not really working by themselves, but a lot of times and really having even If you own your own business or you're an artist or a filmmaker, which can be very solitary to either create your own support group, create your own filmmaker group or artist group and meet once a month. That's all it takes to say, let's meet once a month and share our wins and challenges. And you'd be surprised on how amazing that is. Yeah. And I think sometimes what keeps people from doing that is like fear. Like they don't want to, they don't want to connect. They're thinking about, ah, I don't know if I should, if I'm ready to like get, get my project out there. I don't know. But like when you're having these meetings and stuff, you're not supposed to have everything figured out. Like, I love that you bring up the concept of apprenticeship. When I think about like the, Formal apprenticeships way back in the day. If you wanted to, you know, make shoes, you're probably what? Five, seven year apprenticeship. You want to be a writer. You want to be this, we're talking five, seven year apprenticeships just to be able to do something versus now. I feel like sometimes people have this unrealistic expectation on themselves because they, you know, cause you can start something maybe quickly online or something else, but they feel like they're supposed to have it all figured out. Yeah, you need to put in the work. And I think you know, I'm one of the bummer, I mean, listen, there's been so many great things about the remote culture. I mean, as a working mom, it's amazing. I always ran my own business. So we always only went in twice a week. That was like my company. You could be home three days a week. We went in twice a week so we could work collaboratively. But the thing I worry about is there's so many remote work situations. And you know, I interned at film studios and I would just watch them. I was doing the most menial tasks. But I was watching them do their meetings and negotiate and talk about things. And I learned so much from just being there. And now there's so many people working remotely. I would, the other piece of advice is like, if there's any way that you can, you know, work somewhere where you're physically watching other people do what you want to do in the world is so helpful. And, and that's not really a remote thing. Cause I think the most I learned was in the cracks in between and Things in between the meetings and the conversations in between meetings. It's all the other things like that's where the real, like, that's where the real knowledge is transferred in my opinion. Yeah, completely. So circling and thank you for that because I have people here, me preach about it all day long, but now they hear you saying it. All right. So, so go connect with people. All right. So getting back, getting back to today's scheduled It's so simple and beautiful and human and and it, it just really takes you, yeah, having the courage to say, I am going to write a book or I am going to make a film or I am going to do an art exhibit. Like it does take that courage to make the first step, but even before you get to that, there's lots of mini steps you can do. I eventually, eventually I'm going to. I have so many thoughts on this. I've made a lot of films. I used to have an original series called the future starts here. And I had an episode about the creative process because first, just talking, just literally saying out loud, you're about to do something that's like, that puts a lot of energy towards doing that. For me, for me, I always say, ah, I'm on the hook for this. I said it publicly, dang it. That's like always a mixed bag for me. I'm usually regret whenever I've done that. So hold you accountable. Like when I know, but it's more work, Tiffany. My first book that I wrote my family and I now almost 15 years, we turn off screens one day a week and it's been this like life saving, I just felt like the screens here, I founded the Webby Awards and I'm super interested in technology and then it started taking over. So I started turning off screens one day a week and it helped so much. And then when I was nearing 10 years, I thought I need to write a book about this because it's this very ancient idea. And Anyone can do it. And it's this ancient Jewish idea called Shabbat. And it's like yoga and meditation. Like everyone can do it. Just one day rest, no work. And so when I decided to write the book, I thought, well, publicly now everyone's going to know that my family, like I turn off my screens one day a week. So it was like this future accountability, which I think is good. And, you know, even when I was going to, when I wanted to put the feminist history tree ring on the national mall. You know, I'm just finishing this film on the team brain, which it's a 10 minute film. And it's actually one of my favorite challenges is to take a really complicated science. Like I've made a lot of films about neuroscience and take that idea and make it accessible for the public. And it's so funny, like for the last year and a half when I was like, what are you working out or what film I talk about my art and I'm like, yeah, I'm making a film on the teen brain. And this is kind of an audaciousness, like, yeah, film about the teen brain. And. You say that like 400 times in a year. And it's like, you're almost, you're working on the film behind the scenes, but just saying it, you're just like, yeah, also helping to make it happen. So I'm a big proponent when people like, Hey, what are you up to? Like, try out an idea. Like even in small talk, it helps you get that courage of like, you're making that thing happen. So Tiffany, I wanna so for everybody watching, so just to kind of tee up the book project, which we're not going to talk about that much today, as I mentioned before but we're doing a book, it's a collaborative effort between a mission matters, women connect for good and amazing group of authors that Dr. Nancy O'Reilly has has curated and brought together. And I just want to, we're not going to get too far into the content or anything like that today. Cause Tiffany's coming back on the show and that's the next interview I do with Tiffany, that's. All we're going to talk about. But all I want to know, Tiffany is, are you excited? I'm very excited about the book. I mean, it really is. Dr. Nancy has pulled together an amazing group of women. And a lot of us were in DC on the national mall for my art project. So it is a strong community of like a reunion all together. It's amazing. I can't wait to read their chapters. And I love working online. I love writing. It's very, very it helps you. I think writing to have to go deeply on a subject, it's like helping you clarify your thoughts on the subject and you have the time and the space to do it. And in our world, which is just flying by so quickly, you really get that kind of deep thinking time. Hmm. I want to, I want to get kind of a little bit of an overview. Overview of what your, your year looks like coming up next. So I know you have a art show coming up. You got, I mean, I want to get into it. I know you got so much going on. I can't keep up with you. I'm like, and I know even since the last time we talked, probably new things popped up, like, like tell me, tell me what's going on this year so far. I was just meeting with someone yesterday. Cause I'm working. I knew it. I already knew it. Go ahead. I wanted to lay out. I've had years like this before. Like I've been a a creator making things, you know, for like 30 years at this point, but this is good. This is going to be a big seven months. Cause I, I have the teen brain film coming out in the next couple of weeks. And then I am going to just be creating art. I have all these new artworks that I'm going to be making. I have a solo exhibition in New York at Nancy Hoffman gallery. in Chelsea in New York that opened September 5th called Human Nature. And then I have a art exhibition in Los Angeles that opens October 17th called Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology. And my husband and I are both co collaborators on that. He's a professor at UC Berkeley in robotics and he's also an artist and we are making New artwork for that. So we just went down to LA for a big museum walkthrough. And that's part of the Getty museum has something, an initiative called Pacific standard time. And they've got all these museums and we're in the screwball museum and we're doing an art exhibition there. All about ancient wisdom of a few for future ecology, trees, time and technology. So the film, two art shows, and it's all about really time management. It really comes down to that because of course creativity, you want to be wild and like have all this time, which I have, but you have to carve out that time. And now I have to carve out the time. I know all the ideas for each of the pieces and now it's literally about making the artwork and I love doing that. So, but there's a lot happening in the same time period. So I just have to be, first of all, always take my days off on the weekends because no screens and that's When I completely reset, I think we're living in a time where people don't ever turn off their phones. So they don't ever recharge. So that's part of my whole time management strategy. Every weekend I go off and I rejuvenate and then I'm really going to carve out time to be in the studio, to be really creative and then really make the work. So that's my plan for my very busy seven months. And you plan for the, so it sounds like you also plan for your creative times, am I off on that? That's really cool. Like what goes into that? Like what goes into that? Yeah, Wednesday is like no meetings. My studio and I really try to have, there's no meetings and I am just probably very limited phone calls. Like anything else, like if you don't have to do something, then you're like, you want to wake up pretty like light. Right. Yeah. You have to create space to create and to think. And I do that a lot on my, my days without screens. Most of my best ideas come on those days and I'm really, I look at creativity, like an athlete, like, Oh, when am I most creative without screens? So that day is such a great day for me. And I, I try to have other little pockets throughout my day to think we're living in a world that doesn't give us a lot of time to really process all the information we get. Yeah, I think, I think this concept of like disconnecting, which you've mentioned multiple times is it's an important one. And I try to do it at least one day a week. And I, and you brought up Shabbat. I, I, I laugh at that because this is my book that I called it 24, six. Is that a 24 seven? Because yeah, text Shabbat. It's like my saving grace, really. Yeah. I think I remember the first time, like when I went to Israel and I was really, I kind of knew what it was and I, you know, I, I'd been in in LA, so I know, but I didn't know, but it's something else to be like in an elevator that stops on every floor to remind you, it's like, okay, it has stopped on every single floor, like all the, all the little nuances. And then I thought about it and I was like, wow, like I was like, you know, obviously I shouldn't say obviously, but I mean, I'm in media, so it makes sense for me to be in LA, but I'm like, wow, what if I lived in a world that was like that to where it's like a reminder and a reset, like for families to be together, for people to spend time together, for community, like it's, it's a different way of life that many of that, I, much of that I prefer to what we're on right now. I agree more. I mean, it's interesting cause I don't do it for religious reason. Like, yeah. In Israel there are many, I mean, many religious Jews, like, it is a religion. Oh, no, for sure. And so, what, I'm Jewish, but I was like, I have never needed more, some kind of boundary of work and loss. And here's this ancient ritual of Shabbat that if you go to Israel, the whole country shuts down, no buses, no nothing. You're forced to stay still. And so my husband, but the interesting part though, is everything's still fine. Everything functions. So we have this conception that's been kind of whether it's fed to us or we fell into habit. I don't know. I'm not getting it. I'm not going there. But we have this concept that if we disconnect, it's not going to be fine. But then you have a case study like Israel where when everything opens back up, guess what? Economy keeps going. Businesses still go like nothing disappeared. It's okay. Yeah. It's really amazing to think about that. And so that's ultimately why I ended up writing my book is I was like, wow, you know, I do yoga, I try to meditate and here's this other ancient, beautiful idea that's withstood thousands of years and it's available to anyone. So that's why I called it 24, six instead of Shabbat. Cause I wanted to almost like. Yeah. Remove the religion part and say, this is just a brilliant idea that can change your life. And as a creative person, it is literally the foundational moment of my week when Friday night, we have people over for dinner. We have a beautiful conversation, beautiful meal. And then Saturday is just about me thinking and writing and like walking in nature. And then I'm excited to go back online every Saturday night. Like what's happened, what's happened in the world. And I think you know, lately I'm mostly hoping for peace. That's what I'm hoping happens when I come back on. But I've now done this ritual for 14 years straight and it's changed my life and I think I've been more productive. That's the irony is that we think, Oh, I have to be online. No, you're, you're, I'm more productive now when I've truly turned off and refreshed and And I don't think that's just because you're a creative. I think any field would, would benefit from that. Just throwing that out there. Like, I don't think that a lot of like business, the book, I wrote it for my own practice, but a lot of it's been listed as like a business book because it is, it's again, it's about time management and that word sounds so like cold in some level, but it's a strategy. It's like, how do I. Work smartly. So I leave room for joy, creativity and productivity and really create some boundaries around all of those because I think technology, I mean, obviously I've been thinking about technology a long time with founding the Webby awards in my twenties, it's made everything so blurry. It's blurred every distinction. You could be like working from anywhere you can, but actually I think some boundaries are good. I think some boundaries. Yeah, I'll tell you one of the funny blurs. I had this conversation last night and it was that I, a particular person named Greg founder of above the rim consulting. So good guy. He's been I've been working with him as an author for now a couple of years. Now he's been on the show probably like two times, maybe three in the last three years, let's call it. So we've had, you know, probably seven years of contact in our existence and knowing each other quite a bit of time, right. For somebody you haven't met. So yesterday he, we had this event in Orange County randomly and I meet him in person and there was a certain familiarity where I thought, like, it's like we knew each other, but we didn't know it was that blur that you're talking about, like, it's that blur, even though that's the first time we've actually met, even though we spent hours together and that blur. Well, in this case, I think it was a good thing. Cause it was like, we are familiar with each other, but in other ways and in other situations that blur may not be appropriate, like you, that blur could not be the best thing or concept for your psyche of giving you a connection to a person, let's say, that's a great example of the blur. It threw me off, though, Tiffany. I'm not joking. It messed with my receptors, because I'm just like, we know, and then I'm like, Greg, and I'm like, and we know all this stuff about each other. The other funny blur, but that this was a two way blur, I'll say, because I felt the same way. The other funny blur, which is in just in media in general is when you meet somebody that's been maybe listening to your show for a long time and I, you know, I'm over 6000 episodes in. So you've been listening to me for the last eight years. You know about my mom, you know, but you know about everything probably in my life. So then you meet that person and you're talking about you. Well, I have had a news, a monthly newsletter for 25 years called Oh my gosh. So then absolutely writing like something personal and then I'm working on and then I highlight and I'll walk up to people and they'll say something like, Oh, I've been reading your newsletter for years. And. It is. I mean, and it makes me think about what I mean. I don't share, I don't tell all like I know . Sure, sure. I don't do that because like there's boundaries. I don't think, I don't get that from you, but you know, 20 some years, who knows? That first couple years, I don't know. , , we evolve as people. It's always a choice. But I think also I was interesting. I just set up this. And this woman and man, and which I love to do in my spare time is fix people up and at first I was like going to send them each an online reference to them and then I was like, Hmm, no, I'm just going to have them meet and so they, I didn't give them enough information so they could have looked each other up, but I was deliberate about that because it was a little member, like when I met my husband, we didn't know anything about each other and it was really just our connection. Now you can do so much sleuthing before you know, it's, yeah. Oh, that's good. I feel like that's your that's your next show. That's short form content for sure No, no, I want I want your matchmaking hobby to be content that's fun. Yeah, you're like We have like well somebody well the couple's recently breaking up Like how I like how now i'm giving you work like adam. Did you just not hear about my year? Well, let me just Throw my little idea out there, Tiffany, for your pleasure. I introduced this couple like seven months ago, they're madly in love. They came to this party at our house and I was like, you two are my greatest work of art. I mean, like you're madly in love. Like it makes me so happy. And I just, I feel so fortunate. I know how lucky it was that I met my husband when I was 26 and the older I get, we've been together like 27 years. Wow. How rare that was. And you just, Realize it when you're young and in love. And now I'm like, Oh my gosh, I am so lucky. And so I feel like a responsibility, like if I can match make with my friends, matchmaking with Tiffany, come on, there we go. That's the, you, you can come up with a better title, but this is a working title. So Matt, so, so Tiffany, when is matchmaking with Tiffany coming out? I mean, it could be a short form series. It could be a inquiring minds like myself. So we got your first expression, side hustle, because it sounds like you're a hustler or a prostitute, but I could say my side hustle is matchmaking. Cause I do it for love. I do it just because it makes me so happy. For the, for the love of matchmaking. I'm just still working on your title here. All right. So, so, so I have to ask Tiffany other than that, which is just my, like, of course, not really. Like, what is next? What's next? Like, give me the vision. I know you got all the shows, everything else coming up. We got big art, you know, projects that expand on the dendrofeminology. I'm working with tree rings to tell different stories I'm working on. It's kind of under wraps now, but I'm so excited about thinking of these tree rings as new ways to tell stories. So I have a lot of ideas for that and I'm loving working with my hands. You know, I've made films for a very long time and now the physicality of working with my hands is very satisfying right now. Amazing. Tiffany, if somebody wants to follow, follow your work, you mentioned a newsletter, like, like how do people find everything? It's just Tiffany shlain. com. And there's no C in my last name. So just S H L a I N. com. And I'm on, you know, Instagram and that, but I really, I think the best way to follow my work is my newsletter because I'm not on all the time. And yeah, a newsletter has a narrative. The social media is like, it's just a slip stream. You don't know what you're seeing. So yeah, if you go to tiffany schlein.com, you can sign up for my monthly newsletter called Breakfast at Tiffany's. And yeah, that's a way to stay in touch. Amazing. And so, and for everybody watching by the way, so we'll, we'll put that, all of that information in the show notes so that you can just click on the links head right on over, sign up for breakfast with Tiffany's and and, and stay in the loop on what's going on. Yeah. The new film, new film's coming out soon and I, and all my films are on my side. I've made like. 33 films. So they're all, most of them are short. So I, I like working in short form. I just made one feature, but they're all kind of short films on big topics. Amazing. And speaking of the audience, if don't forget hit the subscribe button, we got more interviews coming up for you and where we're going to be bringing Tiffany back on the show. Once the The book's out. So you'll be looking forward to that interview as well. And Tiffany, I just want to say, this has been so much fun to finally catch up, finally do this with you and, and get, and get into the weeds and, and, and understand more about your process and your work. So thank you so much for coming. Oh, it's a pleasure to talk to you. Have a great day. Bye Adam. New book alert!
