I'm January Jones, and i'd like
to welcome you to our podcast today.

19
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.120
I've been on hiatus, actually,
and this is the second show since

20
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.519
I've been back, and sure is
nice to be back with everyone. While

21
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.359
I was gone, I went about
and I renamed the show a little bit.

22
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:07.680
It's now called January Jones Sharing Senior
Success. And that happened because while

23
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.919
I was away, I turned eighty, So now I'm an official senior.

24
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.400
However, I'm still the gritter Glannie, and I wear hats all the time,

25
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:23.800
and today I'm wearing my glitter zebra
outfit and I'll tell you about it

26
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.520
later why I'm all up like a
zebra. Now, for our listeners,

27
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.280
let me ask you a question.
Do you want to shake up your life?

28
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.159
I guess we all do. Do
you wonder what you could do to

29
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.960
get out of the rut you're in? And most of us are in some

30
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.759
sort of one or the other.
Would you like to crush she heard me

31
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.159
right, crush your haters? Do
you want to make some big changes?

32
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.240
Would you wish you could meet someone
who can tell you how to do it

33
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.800
today? How would you like to
meet a woman who is doing it right

34
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.240
now? If you can answer yes
or maybe to any of these questions,

35
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.479
then you are in the right place. And I'd like to welcome you to

36
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:20.560
January Jones sharing senior success today.
I want you to rest, relax,

37
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:25.479
go get some wine, get some
cheese, and remember that you're in the

38
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:31.840
no wine zone, so no whining
allowed. Let me tell you about our

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:38.000

She is an inspirational woman on the speaking

40
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:45.719
circuit. She is the founder of

00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.680
welcome to our show all the way
from Toronto, Canada. So Jen Wi

46
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:21.519
MOHI can hi, January. How
are you wonderful? I could just feel

47
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:28.279
your energy coming across the screen for
my listeners. She's been on the show

48
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.160
before, but this is actually the
first time we've got to see each other

49
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.360
so nice and as wonderful, and
you're as beautiful as I knew you would

50
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.439
be. Oh, you're so sweet. Thank you so much. You know,

51
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.199
one thing I love is a good
name. And I always love the

52
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.319
name January Jones, honey, because
it just feels so I don't know,

53
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:54.879
majestic, so rich, so crushing. Of all the haters, yeah,

54
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.079
with all the haters. Well,
you know, the story on the January

55
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.319
Jones thing is I'm actually the third
January Jones. The first January Jones she

56
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.639
was back on she used to be
billed as an exotic dancer on The Johnny

57
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:16.639
Carson Show. Quote exotic dancer for
that time was stripper. And there's the

58
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.480
younger January Jones, the beautiful,
talented actress who was on Mad Men that

59
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:29.519
everyone know all her. And then
there's me. And I've been the January

60
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:34.199
Jones author. I started off as
author for thirty years now, which is

61
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:42.399
kind of hard to believe. And
it's so funny because these all these dirty

62
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:49.319
old men go to look for January
Jones in her net and then eighty year

63
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:57.680
old lady going whooh, whatever gets
them there? And I mentioned in the

64
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:02.439
intro that I'm wearing my zebra shirt
and you're not gonna cheetah by the way,

65
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.639
Oh well, it's animal Day.
Perfect. I love all these animal

66
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.360
prints. I wear them all the
time. How did you come up with

67
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.319
calling your public creations firm Zebra?
You know, it came from a friend

68
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:25.199
of mine. Her name is Elaine
Expart. She's from Sweden originally, and

69
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.920
she was writing a book at the
time. She was in New York and

70
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.480
she just felt my energy. Right
I walked into the house and she's like,

71
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.800
oh my god, who are you. I was like, Jenna.

72
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.600
She's like, well, I'm Elaine, And so we just got to friends

73
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.079
right away. You know some friends
are like that. You just pour water

74
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.040
and it's like instant friend. Yeah. You know, I have a friend

75
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.199
like that, And I feel like
she was my twin, that we were

76
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:58.600
separated at birth because we just like
the ying and the yang say things and

77
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.360
the other one can answer without even
hearing the end of the sentence, so

78
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.959
it's immediately immediately. Yeah, well, I like the zebra thing. You

79
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.800
know because now with the environmental is
easy name to bring them, easy to

80
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.160
remember. You don't forget it.
It Like you know, people ask me

81
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.480
what is it? Is it black
and white? I'm like, it could

82
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.240
be. It's whatever it means for
you. Is it exotic? Sure?

83
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:26.879
Is it iconic? Definitely? You
know, it's a style, it's a

84
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.240
way of being. We do Rome
in the herd as I always say,

85
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.240
we're friendly, we're actually her before
is although I do have, you know,

86
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.439
carnivorous tendencies, but you know,
Zebra's kind of Rome in the serengetti.

87
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.360
You kind of just love looking at
them. And that's what we wanted

88
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.360
was to build a space, a
company, a vibe for entrepreneurs who feel

89
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.319
themselves unique. Maybe they've been pushed
down, they've been done down, trodden,

90
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.040
they've been kicked in the face,
and now we're gonna be right there

91
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.279
to pick them up. I say, you know, now is your time?

92
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.360
Tell us a little bit, Coach, where your success story began,

93
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.160
Where were you born and who do
you think of as your earliest mentors.

94
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.079
That's a great question, January.
I would say that firstly, I was

95
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.000
born in Toronto, and then my
parents. My dad was working on a

96
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.800
doctorate in West Africa. So I
lived very early on in a Muslim country,

97
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:31.839
French speaking Senegal. Oh yeah,
yeah. You know there's a connection

98
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:37.360
between the archives because colonialist right,
statehood right and where the slaves left the

99
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.559
port and that was the area of
study. So we went to Senegal,

100
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.440
lived in Paris. So I always
tell people Paris made me sexy. I

101
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.039
love Paris. I love Paris.
Well, I've been there, but it

102
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.120
has I don't know if it made
me that sexy. Well maybe my husband

103
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.679
thought so at the time. Probably, Yeah, speak French, I do.

104
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.799
I still speak French. I'll be
back in Paris next year. You

105
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.759
know. My earliest successes came from
I want to say, sheer luck meets

106
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.039
opportunity. I was probably eighteen or
nineteen when a friend called and said,

107
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.600
Hey, there's a casting happening.
Why don't you go there and see if

108
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.559
you get the part. Well,
I got the part right for a huge

109
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:30.320
television show. And suddenly I'm like
in this degrassy like situation in a trailer

110
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.360
getting my hair and makeup done.
And I was always going back to my

111
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.960
drama teacher from Oakwood, mister Beattie, and we filmed that day at the

112
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.200
school, and I knew he was
proud of me that I'd made it through

113
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.039
drama class. You made it to
the big time. You know, listee

114
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.200
that I'm for California. Well,
we were there for over forty years,

115
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:00.960
and of course we always equated entertainment
with Hollywood. But you know this,

116
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.159
Princess Meghan was filming in Toronto.
And so Toronto is actually quite a large

117
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.039
center for the entertainment world, isn't
it very much? So it always has

118
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:18.320
been because certainly the exchange rate makes
it favorable to the executives, right,

119
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.279
and it's always a question of money. And yes, Princess Meghan did shoot

120
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.039
here. She had a place here. She's like, you know, known

121
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.879
amongst my friends and they've known her
for a long time. Always a sweet

122
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.360
girl. Always. So you know
someone's character Drake too, Drake is from

123
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.759
here. Okay, Yeah, that's
Bieber. Yeah, there's a whole Toronto

124
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:46.480
industry and of course a lot of
people are going there and living and filming

125
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.879
there and loving it. You know, we're going to take a break and

126
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:56.440
I'm going to talk about my book. So if you are a whiner or

127
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:03.639
no a whiner, then this book
is for you. Lately, there is

128
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.799

129

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.159
marketing or like how do I declutter
this social make sense of it? Come

152
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:11.480
find me there. We'll check out. My virtual assistant will check you out

153
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.919
for some time. That's fantastic.
Now you've written three books that I talked

154
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.159
about in the intro and where can
people get those books? Are they at

155
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.200
Amazon? So? My Baby's Daddy
was actually a film that we had done.

156
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.120
The year was probably two thousand and
two. It was directed by Cheryl

157
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.720
Dunier and starred Eddie Griffin. So
it's you know, it's a film you

158
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.399
could probably buy on Amazon. And
you know, at the time, I

159
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.000
was a Canadian girl. I didn't
know how to speak like a New Yorker.

160
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.440
I didn't know how to talk like
that, and I had to learn

161
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.559
how to speak like this because that
was in demand at the time. So

162
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.879
it's all you know, voice actings
are still learning, and so they put

163
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.799
me in a scene and I have
a very very short but it was cool.

164
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.919
It was cool to get my chops. Oh yeah, yeah, for

165
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.080
sure. And then the other two
were books. And then Lady Bangkok Boy

166
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:18.919
was a series of vignettes that we
found while being in Thailand, Miss d

167
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.440
Actually you can find that one on
vimeo. For the most part, we

168
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.360
sent it to con and it made
the short film Corner at the Con Film

169
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.960
Festival, which was awesome. But
yeah, I communicate in film. I

170
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.279
am working on my newest book.
It's a little bit of a memoir,

171
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.559
just sharing in my life and how
I grew up and the haters that came

172
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.759
for me and coming honey out of
the what do they say, rising like

173
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.879
the phoenix, Rising like the phoenix? You know, the best thing is

174
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.240
to follow that's story. I'm so
glad you're on the show because we're just

175
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.879
in a world where it seems like
the haters are just surfacing and coming up

176
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.879
for air whatever, and I'm glad
we're going to talk about that topic.

177
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.279
When you know, when you get
your book done, you have to definitely

178
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.919
let me know and come back on
the show and will promote it because I'm

179
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:22.440
in the process of becoming hopefully an
Amazon affiliate and so I'll be able to

180
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.120
sell your book for you. I
love that. Okay, Now let's go

181
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:35.039
back to you studied history in French
literature and how did that translate to your

182
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.879
career in the film industry in Toronto. Yeah, I don't know whether it

183
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:46.879
did. Maybe it just helped develop
some empathy because my training was largely on

184
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.399
film sets. You know. I
was the girl who was getting booked for

185
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.639
the commercial the TV time. One
time I found myself on set with Denzel

186
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.960
Washington on the film set of John
Q. I played a nurse for five

187
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.399
days. It was the largest check
I'd ever seen and I got to meet

188
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:10.279
an icon, right so I'm studying
icons, you know. Then came the

189
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:14.879
Toronto International Film Festival. Then I
made a play to move to New York.

190
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.200
I had a few friends, and
that's really all it took back then,

191
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.200
as a couple friends and maybe a
couch, and you do what you

192
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.600
have to do. And that's what
Denzel said to me. He said,

193
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.360
do what you have to do now
so you can do what you want to

194
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.240
do later. And I said,
I don't have any kids. I can

195
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:37.720
sacrifice myself to experience what it might
be like to create something. They'd always

196
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.759
said that if you could make it
in New York, then you could make

197
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:48.840
it anywhere, and so I always
felt that way, and I started out

198
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.720
in New York too. I mean, actually, so many people who have

199
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.799
been on the podcast have that little
New York history. I used to I've

200
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.679
started out there as stewardess, and
I'll never forget. We had an apartment.

201
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.079
There were four of us, and
we had an apartment that we paid

202
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:14.640
three hundred dollars for which they're probably
now childering three thousand easy. We only

203
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:19.799
had three beds, so whoever the
fourth one was if they came home late,

204
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:26.480
they got the couch. That's right
how it is. And we shared

205
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.960
one room and we had three beds
or people. But those were some of

206
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.480
my best memories. It's some of
the best times you'll ever had. At

207
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.160
the end of life, you don't
remember, you know, the extra ten

208
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.319
dollars you made, the extra hour
you put in to work. It's the

209
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.799
times that you have, the memories
that you shared, you know, the

210
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.720
times that that were great. Share
with us a little bit about Fashion Week

211
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:53.880
because I always read so much about
it, and then you open up People

212
00:17:53.960 --> 00:18:00.640
magazine who I should be doing commercials
for? You see everyone on what they're

213
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:06.359
wearing and all the events. Fashion
Week is quite a production, isn't it?

214
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.480
What can he certainly is? Yeah. Actually, I definitely wanted to

215
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.599
share with all a few. I
will be in DC on the ninth of

216
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.799
December. We are honoring Sergio Hudson. Did you know that Sergio Hudson had

217
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:23.519
been given one thousand dollars by his
mentor, Lisa Wu. She was a

218
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.559
business lady. She had it to
give to him. He turned that around

219
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.519
and built out his empire. He
was dressing Kamala Harris, you know,

220
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.440
former First Lady Michelle Obama. He's
selling out at Nordstrom's. How did he

221
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.799
do this? How did he do
this from coming from such poverty? And

222
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:47.400
we want to hear his story.
The event's going to be at the Kennedy

223
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.519
Center at DC. Yeah, I
will share the link. Yes, yes,

224
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:56.799
Fashion Week is a massive production,
it really is. And put that

225
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.559
link in our little chat box on
the screen for you. And what will

226
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.640
you be doing at the Kennedy Center. Now, you really impress me,

227
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.920
girl. You know the thing is, uh, here's the thing is,

228
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:18.400
I'm I'm the lead publicist, right, so that means I'm engaging members of

229
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.079
the media, members of the press. That's what we promised to our constituents.

230
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.519
We said, if you embark on
this journey with us, we are

231
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:33.640
going to serve by helping you get
the recognition that you truly deserve. Entrepreneurs

232
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.359
work so hard, we wear so
many hats, it hurts. Some days

233
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.160
are good, some days are bad. Some days you have money, some

234
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.319
days you have none. And and
you know, clients come, they go,

235
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.319
people may laugh at you online,
mock you, make fun of you.

236
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.400
It's all because they wish they could
do that themselves. They wish they

237
00:19:53.400 --> 00:20:00.039
could do it themselves. Yeah.
So, yeah, that doesn't surprise me

238
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.559
that comment, because I do.
You do see so much anger coming from

239
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:10.759
these haters, and it makes sense
that a lot of it is just jealousy

240
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.839
that they are frustrated that they haven't
of the and they're jealous, just jealous

241
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:22.359
of the things that you've been able
to do. Uh, that'll be incredible.

242
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.079
How many people would be at the
event. We will have four hundred

243
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:37.680
approximately people in attendance. We will
ask you know, former Lady Michelle Obama

244
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.920
and Kamala Harris and or to present
the award to Sergio. He will pass

245
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.559
it on. It's about passing it
forward. It doesn't Sometimes you're in a

246
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:52.680
difficult circumstance, right and that foundation
is about just giving scholarships and awards.

247
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.519
Maybe you're a single mom, you
have your baby. I remember being that

248
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.160
person, single mom with a baby
in New York, trying to figure it

249
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:06.920
out, trying to take a client
meeting. The attorneys don't understand my predicament.

250
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.240
I have to make it work.
You know, my best friend is

251
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:17.400
babysitting and juggling the invite calendar.
You know, we're entrepreneurs. We go

252
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:21.799
through so much. But you have
to have heart. You have to have

253
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.000
grit. And like Grant Cardone said
to me, if you don't have haters,

254
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:32.240
you're doing something wrong. That's a
good one. I like that and

255
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:38.319
you know what's impressive about the story
and his award that he just started out

256
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.799
with a thousand dollars and it made
such a difference. And a lot of

257
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:49.079
times people hesitate about donating or helping, thinking they don't have a lot to

258
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:53.799
give. I'm not a billionaire or
something like that, and so they back

259
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.200
off for it. But I think
it's a good thing to consider, is

260
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:03.519
that just a little bit can make
such a big difference. Because here he

261
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:11.519
is with this incredible career and being
at the Kennedy Center. But I've been

262
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.079
lucky enough to see some performances there
and it's an awesome, awesome place.

263
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:26.720
And speaking of Kennedy's years later,
and people are still asking who killed Kennedy?

264
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:33.480
Who killed Kennedy? Let me ask
you a question, are you still

265
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:38.079
wondering who killed Kennedy? Over fifty
years later? The assassination is still a

266
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:44.240
mystery. It is unfinished business for
our country. Now get ready for a

267
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.559
theory that you've never heard before,
but will make more sense than any other

268
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:55.079
conspiracy theory that you've ever heard in
the past. January Jones speaks the unspeakable

269
00:22:55.440 --> 00:23:00.119
in her book Jackie, Ari and
Jack The Tragic love triangle connecting Jackie and

270
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:07.319
Aristotalonass romantically prior to JFK's assassination.
Did you know that Ari was Jackie's guest

271
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.640
in the White House during the JFK
funeral. He was the only non family

272
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:17.759
member who was invited by Jackie to
stay there during the funeral. Aristotlonass was

273
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.559
one of the wealthiest men in the
world, with the means, the motive,

274
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.680
and the money to order an assassination
that was the perfect prime of the

275
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:30.920
last century. Are needed class and
Jackie needed cash. They were perfect for

276
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:37.960
each other. Now what is Camelot? It is but another tragic love triangle?

277

Read by mis Jones, Welcome back with

279
00:23:55.160 --> 00:24:02.200
my friend Kugena and I pronounce it? Is that the right pronunciation? Yes,

280
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.759
that's a good one. Yeah,
think of Moette as Chandon. Some

281
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:11.960
people say, Okay, I kind
of did it fanatically. I'm hoping I

282
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.079
didn't ask you before we went on
the air. I usually try to make

283
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.880
sure I check that before we do
this show. Okay, let's talk a

284
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:25.759
little bit about your dancing career,
and I passed because I have a granddaughter

285
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:33.559
who's in California and she's studying ballet
and she's in a program at university there,

286
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:40.079
and dancing is her whole life.
Did you always dance? I did

287
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:44.039
when I was a lot younger.
I admittedly I need to get back to

288
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.759
that hip hop class, you know. And Beyonce gave me my complete life

289
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:56.680
with her tour. Oh my god, like yes, right, amazing such

290
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.400
But yeah, no, my parents
put me in everything in La and African

291
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.400
and so I tried every medium,
which I really appreciated. And I still

292
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:11.160
love to dance. You know,
you'll normally see me with a wireless speaker

293
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.759
around. I've always got music around. Music gives me energy and I feel

294
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.960
great when I hear music. It
doesn't matter what it is. It could

295
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:23.680
be jazz, classical, it could
be ambient, it could be lounge,

296
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.200
it could be reggae. Oh like, I love music. It's a universal

297
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.599
language and you just start to move. Oh yeah. You know. It's

298
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.079
interesting because we kind of signed up
for a cruise this past year and we

299
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:42.680
ended up on a salsa cruise,
and of course we're in our eighties,

300
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.359
so there's no way we're gonna do
salsa. But this cruise was incredible because

301
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.880
there were everyone in the on the
ship was doing salsa, and they were

302
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.839
doing it morning, night, and
noon. They were in elevators dancing,

303
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.559
they were dancing in the hall,
and it's just it was for us.

304
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:06.480
It was a therapeutic cruise just because
of all the energy we got to share

305
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.640
dancing is And let me also ask
you about your name. Is that an

306
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:18.079
African name or is that Yeah?
No, my parents came from the Caribbean.

307
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.200
They were Garvous, so they wanted
an African name that had significance rather

308
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.559
than a colonizer name. So Kagenua
ends up being you know, happy welcome

309
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.880
arrival. I've become my name,
right or the person who brings good news.

310
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.480
Let's say, happy welcome arrival.
And they were really excited for my

311
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:42.440
arrival. Like naming, don't want
anyone else with the same name because it's

312
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.000
so one girl, one other girl
that I know. They were inspired by

313
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:51.079
her in your whole life, my
whole life, in my whole life.

314
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.720
But I normally tell people, Okay, this is going to be like probably

315
00:26:53.759 --> 00:27:00.240
the only Kageneral you'll need. Okay, Now let's talk about how important in

316
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:06.319
your career, your public relations,
your connections from New York, Paris,

317
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:12.680
Toronto. That's like, now you
can connect so easily with everyone, can't

318
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:17.799
you? Through the web and zoom? And is that a lot what you

319
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.480
do in your business? Absolutely?
You know, I'm constantly connecting with people,

320
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.680
and I tell folks it's like Warren
Buffett. Think of him. You

321
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.680
know, he's a beautiful senior,
but he's managing two hundred and fifty thousand

322
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:36.240
contacts. But the contacts that he's
speaking to this week, maybe the hundred

323
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.279
folks that he needs to reach this
week may not be the same thousand two

324
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:44.559
weeks from now or the same ten
two weeks from now. So you're constantly

325
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.440
curating your leads and your lists right
based on what it is that you are

326
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:55.599
working to accomplish. Right, Family
vaca, you know, with friends and

327
00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:02.359
family is a different set of communications
than I'm hosting a party or an event

328
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:07.960
or philanthropic mission. Right, So
it's a whole different world because I know,

329
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.599
I once in a while, I'll
hop in on my grandchildren, the

330
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:18.000
seven of them, they'll have a
thread going, and also my four children

331
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.079
they'll have a thread going. And
I love just popping in to make a

332
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:27.240
little sarcastic, funny comment and then
disappear. And it's been nice because it

333
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.000
seems like it just keeps families closer. And you know, I could call

334
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.359
people and leave messages all day long, nothing. I test these grandkids and

335
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:42.480
I hear back from them in two
minutes. Yeah, it's amazing. It's

336
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:48.759
no wonder really that you have.
You know, Metta is worth billions of

337
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.240
dollars probably or something by now,
Like we don't even know what the figure

338
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.640
is. So that's part of that, right, part of that. So

339
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.039
they're all in the same family.
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and now

340
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.920
threads are all in the same family. So it's a communications tool and it's

341
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:14.279
always communications. It's all communications.
Yeah, let's talk a little bit about

342
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:19.680
your getting your MBA, and I
am so impressed with you. Our one

343
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:27.200
daughter got her MBA, she got
a master's in psychology therapy. But it's

344
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:32.039
a lot of work, isn't it
It is? Yeah, it absolutely is

345
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:38.400
because what we're asking, what the
profession demands is rigorous training, right,

346
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.799
And it's like with anything else in
life, anything you're going to decide to

347
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.720
get good at, like you with
your golf, how many hours have you

348
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:51.279
put into that? You know what
I mean? It could be anything at

349
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.240
all. Right, So if it's
a masters then you have to be equipped

350
00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:00.319
with the knowledge, right can you
imagine? My mom trained nurses, and

351
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.720
so they have to be equipped with
the knowledge. You can make fatal mistakes,

352
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.920
you will be responsible. Sometimes there
are lives on the line, bodies

353
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:14.559
on the lines. Bureaucrats have degrees, you know. Yeah, how long

354
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.720
did you do it part time?
And how long did it take you to

355
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:22.640
get it? I did it in
one year? One year, one year

356
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.759
because I'm adhd. Many people were
offering too. I found HALT in Cambridge

357
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.000
because they were offering a satellite campus
in Shanghai. And I'd never been to

358
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.039
China, and I said, that's
incentive enough for me. Oh wow,

359
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.359
So did you get to go to
Shanghai. I did get to go to

360
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:45.119
Shanghai and I lived in Shanghai for
two months. It was the best time.

361
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.720
Oh yeah. And the year was
two thousand and seven, so it's

362
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.200
been a while. Yeah. So
did you have to learn a little Chinese

363
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.559
or how did that go? It
was wonderful. You have to learn to

364
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.799
respect people's cultures, how they do
things, how they see life. It's

365
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:06.880
not their fault that they see things
that way. It's part of culture,

366
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.079
right. So once you understand people's
culture, you have respect for that deference

367
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.680
for that, then you can go
in and make friends quite easily and whine

368
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.240
your allies, what a marvelous I'm
so lucky, and our kids are so

369
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:29.279
lucky because my husband's retired airline captain, and so they had passes their entire

370
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.279
lives that they were with us where
they could fly and travel. And one

371
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:38.799
of my daughters asked me how many
countries I had been to in the world,

372
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.160
and so I kind of sat down
and did the math, and I

373
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:47.880
came up with fifty four. And
she told me that she thought I was

374
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:53.359
cheating, and she thought I was
counting some places twice and then in some

375
00:31:53.359 --> 00:32:00.480
places where we just had a layover. So that's funny. I'd like you

376
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:07.279
to share with us your creative strategy
that led to remarkable results for one of

377
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.319
your clients. Could you tell us
about that. That's a great one.

378
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.880
I was working with a snack food
brand. I'm so excited because many of

379
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:21.160
my folks are entrepreneurs. They've written
books, right, but they don't necessarily

380
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:25.480
have products that go on store shelves. So I we engaged with Pedos.

381
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.599
They I love the story first of
all Indian American entrepreneur. He said,

382
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:35.759
in India we eat peas for snacks. We do not eat corn. And

383
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.559
my mission is to get folks to
eat pea based snacks. You know,

384
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:44.359
it's so worn. And so he
went head to head with Freedo La.

385
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:51.079
We did the creative documents together and
had you know, mister Tito fighting with

386
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:57.319
the pea guy. The branding was
awesome. We did what he called his

387
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:08.279
company, pedo PTOs PTOs yeahs atos, yeah pas like Cheetos. Oh that's

388
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:13.799
brilliant, that's really well. Yeah, a nice commercial. He did his

389
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.839
billboard. He landed at Costco.
You know, Lizzo said these are her

390
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.960
favorite vegan snacks. So we start
to get accolades and that really makes me

391
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.440
feel good when we can put the
brand out there and really just give.

392
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:34.240
Yeah. When when you're at Costco, you made the big time, especially

393
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.519
when it comes to that snack aisle. I try to go to our Costco

394
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:43.839
on Wednesdays because I can make a
meal. Because now that after the COVID's

395
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.880
over, they're back passing out samples
throughout the store. It's one of my

396
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:53.079
favorite things to do. On Wednesday, we're going to take a break and

397
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:58.640
we're going to talk about some priceless
personalities who have been on my show in

398
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:04.759
the past. Have you ever met
someone who was unforgettable, someone who has

399
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:09.320
touched your heart and soul, People

400
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:15.880

have not only informed you, but
inspired you. People who have priceless personalities.

402
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:28.239

for your own Priceless experience. Welcome
back and we're visiting with coach Emma.

424
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.920
Now I want to get to the
five things that you wish someone had told

425
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:31.800
you before you started out on your
fabulous career. And the first one is

426
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:37.199
perseverance, and I think probably your
MBA is at the top of that list.

427
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:45.440
Huh yeah, perseverance or what they
said was about grit, right,

428
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:51.159
like how do you persevere in times
of deep strife? Wow? I can't

429
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:57.320
forget ever graduating in two thousand and
eight January and people were jumping out of

430
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:01.760
windows because Bernie Madoff had stolen all
that. It was a hard time,

431
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:07.960
you know. You remember my dad
was like, I don't know if I

432
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.880
can send that rent check, right, And so I had to go right

433
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:19.480
into triage mode. And that meant
taking everything i'd learned from that MBA,

434
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:27.360
literally those PowerPoint slides and creatively working
with them to create something of my own

435
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:31.559
and submitting that out to the universe
and saying, Okay, I'm just going

436
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:39.719
to solicit some attention from a potential
you know client, Here's what I can

437
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:45.119
do for the next ten hours as
it has to do with you, and

438
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.639
here's how much money I would like. And I think that first contract was

439
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:52.360
maybe one thousand dollars. The year
was two thousand and eight, and trying

440
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.000
to figure out his Barack going to
get in or no, like a what

441
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:02.039
a time? You know what?
No, I was in Boston. Boston

442
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:06.719
is not necessarily they're a bit more
conservative, so they don't really care about

443
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.559
marketing and pr and all that fashion
so much. But New York was down

444
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.079
the road, and I well,
let me take a risk. I took

445
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:17.559
risks. I took risks. You
know, maybe as you get a little

446
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:22.199
bit older, you take fewer risks. I don't know. No, I'm

447
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:29.800
the opposite, the older they get, the more ridiculous off the cliff.

448
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:32.960
I am right. When you're running
out of time, you got to try

449
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:38.480
everything. Let's talk about always dress
the part, which obviously you can see

450
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:42.920
that I do, and I see
that you do. What are your thoughts

451
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:47.039
on that? So do you mean
things that you do and things that I

452
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:51.039
do? Is that what you mean
by that? No, when you're saying

453
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:54.760
dress the part, what tell us
you said that's one of the things you

454
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:59.880
wish you knew? What did you
wish you knew about dressing when you started

455
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.159
out? Oh? Well, you
know, I mean I started in corporate

456
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.159
right after film and TV. It
was kind of like, well, how

457
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:12.639
do I supplement this sparse income?
And so I would. I would get

458
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:17.519
these positions in corporate firms, and
of course I was always temping and my

459
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.760
style of dress was always whack a
doo, and they're like, it's not

460
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.280
corporate enough, it's not black enough
or something, and I'd be like,

461
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:30.480
I don't know that a black suit
is my jam either, right, you

462
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:35.599
know. So I just had to
create my own space where it's like,

463
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:40.760
what I wear is going to be
acceptable for me. And you know a

464
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.480
lot of people aren't comfortable dressing the
way I do, or maybe the way

465
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:51.039
you do. But you have to
just find where you feel. It's like

466
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:54.199
where your own dressing your own skin, dressing your own skin, because that's

467
00:39:54.239 --> 00:40:00.800
where you're most comfortable. Dress as
you feel comfortable, right, without being

468
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:08.159
disrespectful to whomever you're presenting too.
Right, So you're not going to do

469
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:14.639
a cocktail dress necessarily to a funeral, but you know you can still express

470
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:20.159
Style is expression. Fashion is expression. There are many many ways to express

471
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:25.559
yourself. Now, the hook that
I used for our podcast, but I

472
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:34.519
love this Crush your Haters. That
is just the perfect title for this show.

473
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.360
How did you first come upon doing
that? It's a hard thing to

474
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:44.119
do. Isn't it. It is
a hard thing to do, and I

475
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:50.000
think step one is acknowledgment that haters
exist. I remember being shocked when a

476
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.519
boyfriend told me, not everyone's going
to like you, and I thought,

477
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:58.559
what wouldn't they. I'm not a
disrespectful person. I'm pretty kind, pretty

478
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.880
but it's us the way it is. I think there's actually a rule and

479
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.159
it said that of ten people,
two of them think you walk on water,

480
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.480
there's nothing you could do wrong.
Okay. If them are like,

481
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:15.519
you know, could take take it
or leave it, you're fine. And

482
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:21.719
then two are just like I literally
dislike the person. There's nothing about them

483
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:28.199
that is redeeming to me. I
don't find them particularly interesting. It's just

484
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.159
the way the numbers break out.
So I just said, uh, you

485
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:37.559
know, of course. And I've
noticed that people make comment on something that

486
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.840
I'm doing, but it's not in
a positive way. And it's been said

487
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:45.760
to somebody else about something that I've
done I didn't even know the person was

488
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:52.360
watching. I get that, especially
social media. You know, it's kind

489
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:58.599
of upsetting because it seems like the
haters, in my opinion, are just

490
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:02.440
getting too much opposite. And I
think some of this stuff. I would

491
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:07.519
rather they would downplay it, and
some of them, basically, in my

492
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.719
opinion, are doing it for publicity. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big

493
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:19.079
part of their game plan. We
have to close and let's just touch on

494
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:24.239
love and grace, which you exemplify
completely. Thank you. How did you

495
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:29.159
come up with that as one of
the things. Oh, you know,

496
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:32.480
I just lead with love and with
grace. Right, So, empathy is

497
00:42:32.519 --> 00:42:37.159
a huge part of this. Some
of the biggest leaders are empaths. I

498
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:39.440
am an empass. I can understand
where you're coming from, what your backstory

499
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:45.519
is. We could come from completely
different backgrounds. It's all good, right,

500
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:50.840
But yeah, haters that are trying
to rise in fame, it's called

501
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:54.280
notoriety. You're not known for anything
good really, and I don't know if

502
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.679
that's a legacy you'll want to leave, So you have to check with yourself.

503
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:04.960
Sure, but loving grace is the
way forward for sure. Wonderful Before

504
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:09.599
we go, I always ask this
question, if you could have dinner with

505
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:16.360
any person, uh, living or
dad besides me, who would your choice

506
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:22.400
be? Wow, I would say
definitely. Barack Obama follows me on Twitter.

507
00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:34.000
He does you know Chris Jenner Oprah
for sure, Oh for sure.

508
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.840
Yeah, well I can't you know, give I can't give you a banquet,

509
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:42.679
but let's kind of it. You
know, if we could invite everyone

510
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.440
we want to our banquet, that
would be a long list. The other

511
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:53.360
one I feel so I admire so
much as Michelle and what she did with

512
00:43:53.519 --> 00:44:01.000
her family and their time in the
White House is the that's love and her

513
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:07.400
whole life, her whole family.
She's been one of the most horrorful examples

514
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:13.639
that women. And I'm talking about
all ages, all raises, i'll call

515
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:17.480
it, you name it, all
religions. She's been a great example and

516
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:24.159
nothing but classics. See, maybe
we could get to Oprah and Michelle.

517
00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:29.199
Let's work that. I have a
plan for you. I have a plan

518
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:37.599
for that. And then in your
spare time, tell the President Obama that

519
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:43.039
he needs to come visit me.
You know, I will definitely let him

520
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.880
know. Thank you so so much
for coming today, and it's been wonderful

521
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:52.719
to meet you, and it's been
a delight to see you. My upcoming

522
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:57.000

00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:02.440
It's on live every Tuesday, and
then it's obviously at YouTube and all

524
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:07.440
over the world. After that,
my eighty year old thought for the day.

525
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:13.400
Have you ever heard of anyone who
lives to be one hundred years old

526
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:21.559
who are remarkable for anything else beside
their age? Not too many, but

527
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:25.440
I'm working on that. I'm working
on. Thank you for entering the no

you need to stop whining, start smiling,

530
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.440
and if that doesn't work, you
could just start eating chocolate, lots

531
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:53.559
and lots of dark, dark chocolate
my favorite. Everyone. Thank you again
