"The book was a labor of love. There were nights that I stayed up to like two, three in the morning, finishing those drawings because you're on a timeline, you know, and that timeline generally isn't going to move because of you, you know what I mean? Especially if the book comes out on a certain day, that's it. You can't just say, oh, I need another month. You have to be on somebody else's timeline. So there were nights that I stayed up to like two, three in the morning and then literally woke up at like seven to start my normal work day. So, yeah, not not fun. But I knew that doing the book was a long term goal of mine. And not every day you have this opportunity for something that you basically been dreaming about and the opportunity presents itself. You kind of have to just buckle down and do it. So, yeah, not fun, but but I did it neighborly right now. We're at the point where we fulfill orders, obviously from the orders that come in on our website. But it's a lot of just negotiating with buyers right now for like those larger wholesale orders. So we have Valentine's cards and Urban Outfitters this past Valentine's Day. So those orders are the gigantic orders. And if that's the case, if we have a big order, like for T.J. Maxx or Marshalls or whatever, that's when we hire people to help us out because those orders could be like 20,000 cards. And if that's the case, we hire packagers, we hire people to help us fulfill the order, like put them in boxes and things like that, ship them out. So those come obviously those aren't like every day that we're fulfilling those large orders. So it's more manageable. You know, it's every once in a while we get these big orders and then we hire helpers. So it makes it way more easier for us. I mean, I was I mean, I was saying freelance and not in a in a pejorative way, but like it's a business. Oh, yeah. Since the Today Show, we have gotten these huge wholesale orders. We've been in Paper Source, we've been in Urban Outfitters, we've been in Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, Home Goods. So, yeah, with those big orders, you definitely need help. It's way more than just me and my business partner can fulfill because they're just so large. So, yeah, we have a list of packagers that we hit up that just kind of help out when needed. So it sounds like the Today Show was like a really big boost for you. Oh, 100,000 percent, for sure. For sure. Like, I don't remember if you saying that we're in 20 stores, which could be could be right. I just don't remember before the Today Show. I mean, now, I mean, we're in thousands because of these these large wholesale orders. Like with Home Goods, that was like 800 stores right there with the Home Goods order. So, yeah, we've gotten into a lot of stores, for sure. It's so interesting how creatives that I've had on the show and it's usually ones that do like some kind of digital creative work, like full time in some capacity. They always have like a side project or a side business or something that is tactile, like it's cards, it's home goods, it's ceramics, like it's always something tactile. I wonder, like, is that on purpose? I wonder. I don't know. I find that to be interesting. Yeah. I mean, you don't have clients. No, that's true. When it's tactile, nobody telling me what I need to do with the design or the artwork. It's no client. You're doing it for yourself. Yeah. At least that's what I would think it would be. But that's what it is for me. I knew that, you know, if I'm going to do something on the side, I don't want any clients. I want to do what I want to do, do what I like, do what my business partner likes. And that's it. We're just, we're doing what we want to do. And that's it. I mean, we do do custom cars, which in that case, we'll have a client, but for the most part it's, you know, what we want for the line, what we envision for the line, what we want to put out, whether it be notepads or journals or calendars or whatever. And like, it's, we're doing what we want to do pretty much. I mean, we take into account what our audience likes and what our audience wants to see, but there's nobody saying, no, make that blue purple. Like, no, that's all me and my business partner. I got you. That makes a lot of sense then when you put it that way. I like that. Yeah. For the retailers, are you normally just shooting for these like larger big box stores or like are smaller boutiques also a target? Oh yeah. We're in boutique stores all across the world. Actually. Now we have some internationals too, but you know, with the smaller boutique stores, they're smaller orders just because they're, you know, mom and pop shops. So we definitely do reach out to the big box stores as well, because that's the huge orders that span for 800 stores, like in the TJX case or, you know, Urban Outfitters and things like that. That's where the huge orders come from. Gotcha. That makes sense. So with everything that you're working on, like, what do you want to try to accomplish for the rest of the year? So at the beginning of this year, I had some goals. And I can't believe it's already summer. And I feel like I haven't done many of my goals that I set out to do. One of the goals was to learn 3D software. So I actually start my 3D class tomorrow. So I'm really excited about that. I'm going to be learning Cinema 4D, which I have been wanting to learn for a while. And then other than that, I want to start working on these other children's books ideas that I have. I have so many ideas. So I want to start putting those to pen to paper. And then with Neighborly, we have a lot of ideas for products, new products that we want to roll out. So want to start getting those into stores and on the website so that people can start purchasing those and then just doing more, you know, with advertising. I want to build up my portfolio more and go on some more shoots and production. Looking forward to that, too. Now, for someone that is listening to what you've accomplished, they're hearing about all your success and they want to kind of follow in that same vein, like what kind of advice would you give them? I would say to start freelancing, start doing things on the side. A lot of times, if you do what you want to do on the side, a lot of times it can become your full time. So, you know, if you're not getting the work that you want to do in your full time job, just start creating it on the side. I've had side hustles and side projects pretty much since I started in advertising. I realized that, you know, I just wanted to spread my wings and not have to do everything for a client. You know, I wanted to sometimes just create for myself. And so I've always just had things going on on the side, whether it be for freelance or just because I wanted to do it. And that has helped me so much and just growing my portfolio and getting other business. So I would say always, always just like, do things on the side. Just do things for yourself. Do things just to stay creative because you want to and it always lead to something. It always will lead to bigger things. If you could go back and give teenage Carmel that wanted to be in the video, if you could give her some advice, knowing what you know now, what would you tell her? I will probably say don't be afraid to explore just art, the art world and things that you think are unattainable. Because when I was growing up, I didn't have like artists around me. You know, my mom is a doctor and my dad is a lawyer. And so I wasn't in the art space. I didn't know an artist. I didn't know anybody in advertising. This is all something I found out late in life. I always drew and painted and things like that, but I didn't think it was attainable. I didn't think being an artist was, you can make a living off of it. So I would tell myself, just explore those things, like explore what makes me happy without having that fear of am I going to make it, you know, in the art world, like just be fearless and explore what makes me happy, basically. Where do you see yourself in the next five years? Like what's the next chapter for Carmel Kendall? I see myself doing more books, having books on the shelves and stores everywhere, having neighborly and on the shelves in stores everywhere. I see myself just learning new things. I believe that I'm a student for life. So learning new programs, learning new software. I always just want to stay experimenting with my craft. Hopefully my artwork has evolved in five years. Hopefully it doesn't look like it does now. I want to, you know, always be continuing to evolve and just being a better artist and designer is what I see for myself. Well, just to wrap things up here, where can our audience find out more information about you, about your work, about neighborly? Where can they find that information online? Yeah, well, they can always go to my website, which is carmelkindl.com. The book is called Your Freedom, Your Power, which is available everywhere books are sold. And then for neighborly, they can go to neighborlypaper.com and find a list of all the stores that we are in, or they can just purchase directly from neighborlypaper.com. All right. Sounds good. Carmel Kendall, I want to thank you so, so much for coming on the show. You know, as I was kind of pulling my research together for this, I kind of always have like a thought in my mind about like who the person is before I talk to them and like what the interview might come to be like. And the main thing I'm getting from this is like hometown hero, like from a left, did your own thing, came back. You've got this great business. It's it's a fun business, but you're also still kind of working in the advertising world as well. And like, from what I can tell, just from talking with you, like you're keeping it humble, like you're certainly super proud of the work that you've done and the success that you've accomplished, but like you're also super humble about it. That's a really good quality to have, especially, you know, in this world where there's just so much like posturing and clout chasing and all that kind of stuff. I'm like, I get from you that you are like the genuine real deal. And I'm excited, really excited to see where your work goes in the future. So thank you so much for coming on the show. I appreciate it. Thank you so much for having me. Like I said, I, I've been following you since 2020 when I listened to you on a podcast. So I was very honest.

"That makes sense. I gotcha. Now I kind of want to, you know, shift gears here a little bit. Of course, we've talked a good bit about your work, but I'm curious to kind of know more about your journey leading up to all of this. Now you are one of the rare Atlanta natives I think I've had on this show, which is just great over, over 10 years. Tell me about growing up here. Yeah. So initially my family is from the Southwest Atlanta. Like our first house was on Cascade road and then ended up moving to Fayetteville when I was little. Um, and that's mainly where I grew up, but I went to private school. I went to Woodward Academy for a long time before transferring, going to public school and high school where I transferred to Sandy Creek. So that's where I graduated from, which is Fayette County school and then moved away where I went to Howard for undergrad. How was Howard? Howard was amazing. I mean, best four years of my life. I'm pretty sure that's what all the Howard grads say from at least the ones I know. But yeah, Howard was amazing. I mean, I highly suggest everybody go there. Now, when you went there, you were studying marketing. Did you kind of already have that in mind when you went, like, when you graduated high school, you knew you wanted to get into marketing? No, absolutely not. I didn't know what I wanted. I honestly didn't think about it. I wasn't the type of person to like, I don't know, when I was growing up, my goal in life, I wanted to be a background dancer. Like I didn't take school and stuff that seriously. And so, you know, when I graduated from high school, I didn't know what I wanted to be at all. I just wanted to go out and party and have a good time. So I just picked it randomly because I just was like, oh, business. That sounds cool. Like, let's do it. I'm laughing not at the at the choice, but I'm laughing at the fact that, like, you know, there's so much pressure, I think, especially when you're when you're in high school and about to graduate on like, you need to pick the one thing that you're going to do for the rest of your life. Like, there's a lot of pressure to have like that forward thinking in mind. I 100 percent get what you're saying. When I graduated, I wanted to do something with Web design, actually. But at the time, it wasn't like in the curriculum. Like I graduated in 1999. And so the Web was still kind of becoming a thing. The Internet was still becoming a thing. And like when you went to school, like the closest thing that there was, was like computer science or computer engineering. There wasn't any sort of like UX or anything. I don't think those terms, at least not in the general knowledge of design, really existed back then. And like I took my first semester. It was all this programing stuff. Didn't like it at all. I was like, I don't like this. Went to my advisor, told him I wanted to do Web sites and like build stuff for the Internet. And he was like, you know, the Internet's a fad. You're not going to you're not going to stick around if this is what you want to do. You should change your major. So I changed my major to math. But and I mean, this is partially true, but it's also what I tell people, like I just changed my major to math because I like math. I didn't have any sort of idea of like I'm going to be a mathematician or I'm going to be a math teacher. I had no clue what to do with a math degree. I just like math. But also when I did the math on like my credits that I had so far, like stuff I had transferred from high school, I was like, wait a minute, I could graduate a semester early if I switch over to math and I could still stay in my scholarship program. So that's that's what I did. Yeah, that's important, because like later as a working designer, you know, I always get people that are just like baffled that I have a math degree, like why math? I'm like, I just I like math. I didn't really have any career plans. Also, because the scholarship program that I was in was set up where you did two internships at NASA facilities. And so the goal was like you do those two internships and then when you graduate, you have a job at NASA. And I was like, well, I don't have to really think about what I have to do. All I have to do is just graduate college and I got a job waiting for me. But 9-11 happened when I was in my junior year and they changed like stuff with the program where the seniors that were graduating in 2002 would still get to go to their NASA assignment or whatever, but not the ones after that. And so I was working at the High Museum at the time selling tickets at the High. That was the job I had when I graduated because I had nothing lined up at all. I had no sort of career plans even coming out of college because I thought like, oh, I'm set, you know, so I get it. I completely understand, like not having an idea of like what you really want to do. I sort of fell into design because I had it as a hobby. I was still doing it on the side. And then, you know, now it's what I do. But I had no plan at all. I was just like rolling with the punches. It's absurd to ask somebody that's 18 years old, what is their plan? You know what I mean? Like you're 18 and if you think about it in high school, you're not exploring all these different career paths. Like, you know, you're taking geometry and English. I don't know. I just feel like to have your whole career planned out as a freshman in college is wild. Like that's bonkers to me. Yeah. And so like, I think everybody should kind of start out undecided or I think maybe college, your first year, you, everybody takes classes and every, like in all kinds of different things. So that sophomore year, maybe you can have some inkling of what you want to do, but like freshman year, that's crazy. So like, I didn't know, basically I just chose it randomly. I was like, yeah, businesswoman that, you know, I can be a businesswoman, sure. Or do like a gap year or something, you know, just something to kind of give yourself at that timeframe, like more of an idea of what it is that you want to do. Because I mean, also, I mean, look, as a freshman, I was out partying too. Yeah, like the clubs used to send buses to campus to pick us up and take us to the club and then bring us back to campus. Like, I almost, I mean, I told this story on the show before I almost flunked out freshman year because I was, I was partying, almost lost my scholarship. I had to pull it together. I really did. I mean, but you're living life. That's the way you're supposed to do. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So that's what I picked just at random. I mean, Howard was amazing though. I wouldn't change that for the world, but yes, if I could go back now, I would do graphic design or, you know, be an art major or something, something that pertains to what I do now. But at the time, yeah, it was random. Yeah. I mean, hindsight is 20, 20, right? You can always kind of look back and know, yeah, this is what I should do because it will make sense for what I'm doing now. So I get that. Yeah. So when you graduated, like what kind of work were you doing right after you graduated? So right after I graduated, I had an internship because I knew that I hated marketing and I knew I didn't want to do anything in marketing. And at that time I, a friend of mine worked at a fashion PR place in LA. And so she said, you know, I don't know what your plans are after graduation, but you can come intern with us if you want. But at that point I had no other plans. That was the only thing on the table. So I said, yes, I will do that. So I lived in LA for like nine months, I believe. And I interned there and during that time I was kind of like, okay, I don't, I don't know what I'm working towards. Like, do I want to do fashion? Like, what am I doing? Basically, I started realizing that, you know, I really like graphic design. I really like art direction. You know, I want to see what this path has to offer. And I remember senior year before graduation, I remember I set up a meeting with my career advisor and I said, who are the people that make ads? And she said, that's called an art director. But I remember going home and Googling how to be an art director and came up with these schools where you could, you know, get a degree in art direction. And so while I was interning in LA, I just was applying to all of these art direction programs and ended up getting into SCAD or no, I ended up getting into Miami ad school and you know, those ad school type places, but it's just like a certificate of completion. Like it's not a degree in any way. And so I realized I wanted to go to SCAD because I could get a degree. And so I applied to SCAD for their grad program and I ended up not getting in because I didn't have an advertising portfolio, which is needed for the grad program. I ended up moving back to Atlanta and taking classes at SCAD, not in the grad program, but just as a regular student. And I took like Photoshop, Illustrator, I learned all the programs and then got my professors to write me letters of recommendation for the grad program and then ended up reapplying and getting in the second time. I think that's really something that you still kind of had this vision, but you just found different ways to kind of get to it. I mean, one taking these, these courses and getting these certificates, at least you got your feet wet with what it would entail without sort of fully getting in first, but also you use that to help build your portfolio, right? Then you can apply and get into SCAD. So yeah, I like that. I like that approach. And all of the people in my program, you know, they had had art direction as their majors as undergrads. Like they all had been working towards this grad program for like years, whereas I had just heard about it my senior year, right before graduation on what an art director even was, you know? So I was very much behind everybody. Like I was just now learning Photoshop, whereas these people, you know, knew Photoshop all through college and were designers and things like that. So I definitely felt behind, I will say. But, but yeah, I mean, my goal was to get into this program and kind of just bugger, you know, like hunger down and just learned what I needed to learn and reapplied. So, yeah, I mean, aside from the curriculum focus, like how was SCAD different from Howard? Oh, it's different in every way possible. I think I remember my very first day at SCAD, I walked into the cafeteria and there was a classic pianist playing classical music on the piano. And I was just like, Oh my God, where am I? Because at Howard, there's like, you're like twerking while you're eating a lunch to the DJ. You know what I mean? Like it's a party and I go to SCAD and it was like a person playing classical music on the piano and everybody kind of eating in silence. And I was just like, what did I do? It's very different, very, very, very different. And also, I think art school is just way more competitive, like art is so subjective. And so it's just way more competitive environment, I think, than Howard was. Aside from, I guess, that competitiveness, like did you find like community there? Did you sort of make friends there? Because one thing I've heard from folks that are on the show that will go to, you know, like a SCAD or a MICA or something like that is that it can be a bit difficult sometimes to kind of find community. Yeah, I can see that for sure, because it's so competitive. Like your classmates are not your friends. You know what I mean? Like you're going, you're going against them. You're a lot of times at SCAD, you do group projects because I don't know, you just do a lot of group projects. At least in my major, we did a lot of group projects and it was so competitive because after graduation, you don't want the same portfolio as your classmates because you're all applying to the same jobs, right? So you want to stand out. So I think in that sense of it, you're not, I don't know, you're just not as friendly. You're not as like welcoming because you want to distance yourself from your classmates so that you stand out come graduation time. So I can understand how people say it's hard to make friends. I did make one of my best friends at SCAD and, you know, I think I had a handful of friends that are still really close to me that I see all the time. So for me, that wasn't the case, but I definitely can see how people feel that way for sure. Now, did you go to SCAD here in Atlanta or the one in Savannah? I went to the Atlanta campus. OK, all right. Well, you're right there in Midtown then and you're from the city. So I think that probably was a big advantage, at least socially, because you didn't have to stay in that bubble of SCAD. Like you could go see your parents or whatever. You could break out of that and still be in a city that you're familiar with. But if I was to do it again, I'd go to Savannah, though. Oh, really? Why is that? Yeah, because I would have loved to just live in a new city, a different city than one that I was already so familiar with. Like when I go to visit Savannah, I always think like, why didn't I come here? Like it's such a cool city. If I could do it again, I definitely would go to Savannah rather than Atlanta. OK, now with neighborly that you mentioned earlier, did you start neighborly while you were at SCAD or was it before then? No, I started neighborly in New York when I lived in New York. So right after SCAD's graduation, I got hired in New York. Oh, nice. Yeah, I know you, as I did my research, of course, I see that you've worked for quite a few agencies. You did four years at Y &R, which is now VML Y &R. You did a year at the integer group. You did a little over a year at Havas. You were at when you were in New York, you were at Havas, right? When I was in New York, I was at VML Y &R. OK, VML Y &R. When you look back at those experiences collectively, how do you think they really helped prepare you for the kind of work that you do now? I think starting out as a junior art director in New York probably was the most enlightening experience as far as like learnings. You know, New York has a different work ethic, in my opinion, like starting out my career in New York. I mean, I was working till 10 p.m. every night and this was pre-COVID. So there's no remote working. There's no I'm going to take this call from home. There's no you know what I mean? Like you're in the office until 10, 11 o'clock at night. Like I remember there was one time and this is with like hard drives and things like that. So I remember there's one time I had to physically go take a hard drive to one of my boss's apartment at like two in the morning. Wow, because they needed this hard drive for a client presentation the next day, like it was grueling, like you just learn so much. You learn how to talk to clients. It was my first time going on set. It was my first time traveling, like I traveled to Uruguay for like shooting and things like that. It was like a crash course in advertising, pretty much. You mentioned the hard drive at 2 a.m. that for some reason that reminded me of the Devil Wears Prada, where Andy has to take like the magazine to Miranda's apartment and she's like, put it on the desk. Yeah, don't talk to anyone. Just put it on the desk. Yes, yes. And as a junior art director, I mean, you're the one that's going to have to do it. Yeah, like, you know, who else is going to do it? Not a senior person. That was the life for four years in New York. It was grueling for sure. What brought you back down to Atlanta? Just wanted to break out of that. Yeah, I mean, I was kind of at the point where, you know, I love New York. Let me just say that I love New York, but it's expensive. I was at the point where I was like, you know, I'm tired of being broke. I'm tired of not being able to save any money. I'm tired of working to death, basically, like just working into the night and things like that. And so to the point where I was just like, you know, I want to come back to Atlanta, I put in my notice and I came back to Atlanta where I freelanced for about a year before moving to Chicago. That year ended up being great. I got to be with my family, be with my friends. But, you know, freelance, you have your own struggles with freelance. But at the time, to me, it was better. It was what I needed to do. I needed to just, yeah. And I'd say, you know, good on you for recognizing that, because I think sometimes, especially when you're really locked into a particular job or a particular pattern, you know, a lot of the popular advice, I don't know, I guess you could say it's popular advice, but a lot of the stuff you'll hear is that you have to sort of stick with it. You've got to pay your dues, et cetera. But like, if it's really weighing on you and like it's really affecting your day to day, like, you know, it takes a lot to break out of that. Yeah. I also think now is just a totally different climate than back then. Like now, I think just a lot of things have slowed down since COVID. And now it's like, you know, hybrid work models or people working from home. And I just think it's a lot more laid back than back then. Do you think it's starting to ramp up again? I think it's starting to ramp up again, but hopefully not to the point where it was then. Like that was that was just, I was working around the clock. Yeah, it sort of feels like now with companies we're at, what's a good analogy for this? It's almost like when you're trying to learn how to drive a stick shift and you can't sort of get the rhythm between like the break and the clutch and the, you know, trying to get all that together and it's kind of jerky back and forth. I feel that sort of like feeling is happening right now with companies that are still trying to decide how they're going to operate with employees, quote unquote, post pandemic. I mean, you know, the country said the pandemic is over, the government's like, we're not funding, you know, whatever, whatever. But COVID is still out there. Some places that have went remote are either continuing to go remote or they're deciding on remote or hybrid. They're still trying to sort of figure out what the rhythm is, because before the pandemic, the rhythm kind of was, as you said, kind of just go, go, go. This is how it is. Now that people see that there is another way to work and another way to live and still be able to get work done. Companies are like, we still have all this office space. Like, what are we going to do with that? We want people to come in the office two days a week, three days a week. They're still trying to figure it out, I think. Yeah. It's definitely silent battle right now between the employers and the employees as far as like hybrid versus remote versus two days, three days a week. It's definitely a back and forth going on right now. Some agencies are like, we're fully remote, so work from anywhere, you know, and then some people are like, no, we're in the office, come in the office every day. The last place where I worked was fully remote. And I think one of the people who worked there really took advantage of that a lot by just traveling to different countries. I mean, like we would meet with her and she's like, well, this week I'm in London and this other week I'm in Paraguay or whatever. And the company eventually had to say, OK, you need to stay in one place because, yeah, well, the reason I work done, though, she was getting her work done. But the problem is or I guess the problem that arose, at least as how I heard it, was that because she was jumping from country to country with different time zones and stuff, there's just certain countries that the business can't do business from. So and I mean, not like political dissident companies like she was in North Korea or anything like that, but like there were just certain places she was at where they were like, OK, we're not sure that you can work from there. We need you to kind of stay in one place for a while because it's making paying you difficult because she would be in one because she'd be in one place, one month, one place somewhere else, just kind of jet setting around, because in my mind I was like she can't be getting paid that much like to be doing all this jets between countries. Maybe she was. I don't know. But yeah, eventually they told her, OK, you need to like stay somewhere for a while. And then I think once she did that, she was somewhere maybe for about a month or so. They laid her off. Oh, no. Well, they laid all of us off, so we all were kind of in the same boat. But like it was so weird because I know that that's something that people have done during the pandemic is just take advantage of the fact that you could work remotely. Why not work from anywhere? But the company was like, nope, you need to stay somewhere for a while because we can't keep track of where you're at and it's messing up, I guess, business operations with how we pay you or something like that. Oh, interesting. I wonder if it's because of like taxes or something. I also think they just didn't like her. I think that could have been part of it, too. You know, we're all working, don't get me wrong. But like if you're working hard and then someone else is working hard, but this person is like jet set in between all these places, I think I think it might have been a little bit of jealousy. Like they were like, OK, you need to stay your ass in one place and stop doing all this traveling around because I can't travel. So why do you get to travel? That's what I think it was. But, you know, a more friendly, corporate friendly excuse. Yeah, because if she's getting her work done and she you know what I mean, that should be what counts, you know, and if she's working the hours of the everybody else, I don't know. I don't know. But again, that's sort of like what I talked about before. Companies are just trying to figure out how to sort of work now in this new environment, because this is such a a new thing. Like before you went to the office, you worked your eight hours or whatever and you went home like work was that sort of other place. And now that's your work can also be where you live. And if you can do that from anywhere, why stay at the place that you're at? So, yeah, now with the work that you do with Neighborly, you got a full time gig and the book, like how do you how do you balance all of that? Yeah, I don't think I'm good at it, to be honest.

"So, and now we're actually both back in Atlanta, neighbors again. Look at that. Yeah. Neighbors and business partners. That's dope. So right now you're working at an agency now, but before that work, you were at Dagger as an associate creative director and a senior art director. Tell me about that. Yeah. So it started at Dagger in 2020 as a senior art director worked on Crystal, which is a fast food restaurant in the Southeast, worked on Buffalo Wild Wings and then got promoted to ACD, which is associate creative director where I worked on Aflac and a brand called Rent. But yeah, it was, it was fun. Like Dagger was great. I learned so much. We did a huge rebranding for Crystal at that time, which was amazing. I got to lead that, which leading a rebrand of that size was just amazing. I loved it. That's one of my favorite projects today, just because the client gave us so much freedom. We pretty much changed everything except for the logo, which is like a dream. Like not a lot of brands let you do that. Let you change the colors and let you explore typography and things like that. So, so much fun. I loved it. There's a couple of things I sort of know about Dagger. Like I've heard of it here as a, as a local agency. One of the projects, I think it's either from Dagger or maybe Dagger acquired it. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but butter. ATL is like part of, is it part of Dagger? Is it like just a project that they do? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes. Yeah. It started out as a part of Dagger. And then now they've kind of branched out and Dagger, I think is just known as like an investor at this point, but now it's its own entity. Yeah. I've, uh, I know about Brandon Butler. Brandon has been on the show before. Uh, he was actually one of the very first people I had on the show way back in 2013. He was working at Edelman at the time, but I had heard of him because I don't know if people know that Brandon Butler is kind of something that like in Atlanta, like Wonderkin, like he had a website store in North DeKalb mall. I want to say it was North DeKalb mall where like you could literally go into a store in the mall and buy a website. This was well before I think he did, he did butter, but, um, I remember hearing about butter and I know that Brandon was at Dagger, so I wasn't sure sort of what that relationship was. Yeah. Yeah. Dagger, I guess helped start it. It started at Dagger, but now it's, it's definitely its own business. But yeah, I'm wondering like it probably was really cool to work on with Crystal kind of being such a, it's not an Atlanta, I mean, I guess you could say it's a known Atlanta brand. It's founded in Tennessee, but it's headquartered now here in Atlanta. I bet that was something kind of working on such a, a well known Atlanta slash Southern brand like that. Yeah. When they, when I was interviewing and they said that Crystal wanted to do a rebrand and made me want to take the job because what brands have been around that have just never done a rebrand and are just kind of like, we want you to lead this project. It's like, wow, you know, that was a dream come true and something that doesn't happen very often. And so I definitely took the job for that project because I just was really excited to do a rebrand of that scale. Let's dive a little bit into that project because you said it was, you know, such a grand redesign like that. What did that entail? Like, what did the team look like? How did that process even go? The team was so small. It literally was me and another designer. We ended up getting some freelance help because it just was massive, but it didn't happen all at once. It happened over the course of like a year, I would say. So yeah, it wasn't crazy where we did it in like a month or so. We really did take our time with it. But yeah, like I said, the only rule was don't change the logo. So everything else was pretty much sky's the limit. So they knew they wanted something more modern, more fresh, just more current. I just feel like, you know, everything was kind of looking a little outdated just because they hadn't had a rebrand in forever. So, you know, we updated the colors, we made it more just popping. Like we wanted everything to pop. We redid product photography for all the menu items, which was one of my favorite parts. We wanted the food to look more realistic. You know, we want it, if sauce dripping down, some of the ingredients might have fallen onto the plate, you know, things like that. We thought of every little detail that you could think of. Typography, colors, design elements. We did some illustrations for it. We had all new photography, all new models, just everything from start to finish. We did everything. Wow. And you said it took like over like a year to sort of pull it all together. Yeah. Now, when you started out at Dagger, you were an art director, right? And then when you left, you were an associate creative director. Tell me kind of, I guess, one, because, and I know this because I hear this either from a lot of freelancers or just from a lot of people, they kind of use art director and creative director rather interchangeably. Like to you, what is the difference between the two and how did you shift from becoming an art director to a creative director? Yeah, I see people using them interchangeably as well, and I definitely don't think they should be using them interchangeably. For me, art director, you're way more in the weeds of the work. You're working under the creative director. So for me, the creative director is more so leading the charge, but the art director is kind of implementing what the creative director sets in motion is kind of how I see it. So when I first started at Dagger as a senior art director, I definitely was more in the weeds. And then when I left as associate creative director, I was more so overseeing, like you're managing the teams, you're managing the day to day of the teams. You're more so delegating the work. You're making sure everything is cohesive. Of course, I mean, everything kind of fits together, but as art director, you're definitely doing the day to day. Whereas creative director, you're leading the way. I gotcha. That makes sense. Now that you kind of put it that way, it does seem like something you would sort of organically level up to because if you're in the weeds, then of course you're able to be an effective creative director because you know what it's like to be at that level where you're kind of hands on with the work in that way. And you definitely, as a creative director need to understand what it takes to make the vision come alive. And I feel like understanding what it takes, you have to be in as the art director, you have to be as the designer so you can understand, okay, this is going to take this amount of time. This may not be possible, but this is, you know, like you kind of need to know, those things. And the only way to know those things is to be in the weeds of the work.

"So aside from the book, like what else do you have planned for the summer? So aside from the book, I'm working a lot on Neighborly Paper, which is my paper company, rolling out new products all through the summer and hoping to get into some more stores come fall so that everybody will be able to purchase Neighborly from a store near them. I will make sure to link to the segment that I saw you on when you were featured on the Today Show. Yeah, that's big. Talking about Neighborly, I think at the time in the, it was like in 2020, is that right? Yes, February 2020. Oh, during Black History Month. I know. I think it mentioned you were in, I think, 20 stores at the time. Was it only 20? Oh, my gosh. Look at you, only 20. Was it only 20? Wow. I don't even remember the number at that point. But wow. Yeah, it might've been 20 at that point, but we've definitely grown a lot since being on the Today Show for sure. Well, let's talk about Neighborly. Let's get into that. How did you sort of come up with the idea to start that? So it was actually my business partner's idea. So at that point where we started it in 2016 in New York City, we were both living there in Harlem. And my business partner is actually a childhood friend of mine. We grew up as neighbors in Fayetteville, Georgia. We grew up as neighbors. We ended up living in Harlem together as neighbors again. And so she's a writer and she had the idea of coming up with a greeting card line at that time and asked me, was I interested in doing some illustrations for the line? And so I said, well, let me see first what the lines are and, you know, what I can bring with the illustrations. You know, I didn't, I didn't say yes immediately because I wanted to just make sure I could actually do this. And she sent me the lines. They were hilarious. I thought it was great. Super cute. I spent the weekend just kind of drawing some images to the design, I mean, to the lines. She ended up loving it. And then she said, well, I think we should call it Neighborly since we grew up as neighbors and we're neighbors again. And I loved that idea, designed the logo and everything. Initially, we started out our line with holiday starting in 2016. So we had Christmas. We ended up doing some little, at this point it was, it was like October. So we did little Halloween postcards that we gave out as freebies so that people could just get our website out there. But yeah, we started out with eight cards for holiday. We completely sold out of those cards. We had a total of 800. We did like a hundred each. Completely sold out of those cards unexpectedly. We were like, wow, people really love this. And then, you know, people were like, when are the, when are the Valentine's cards coming out? When are the, when are you going to have birthday cards? And then, you know, initially I was like, wow, this, I thought it would just be like a little hobby. Like I would draw a new card every few months, but now people are like, when are the next cards coming out? You know? Yeah, then we were like, okay, this is a viable like business right now. Like we actually need to, you know, come out with more inventory. So that's how it started. I love the name Neighborly. I love that whole sort of concept of it coming from the fact that you and your business partner were neighbors. That's really cute.

Again, ArtGirl1, thank you so, so much for that great review and for the five-star rating. Super duper appreciate that. Now for this week's interview, I'm talking with Carmel Kendall. Carmel is an art director, designer, and illustrator born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She's the co-founder of Neighborly, a paper goods company, and her book, Your Freedom, Your Power, A Kid's Guide to the First Amendment, just came out a few weeks ago. So we'll put a link to that in the show notes. Let's start the show. All right, so tell us who you are and what you do. So I'm Carmel Kendall. I am a creative director, designer, founder of Neighborly Paper, and illustrator for our children's book called Your Freedom, Your Power. Yeah, I saw the book as I was doing my research, came out with Penguin Random House on July 25th, and I'll make sure that we put a link to that in the show notes. I'm curious, like, are you spending the summer like doing a book tour or doing anything with publicizing the book? I'm not doing a book tour, but I have spoken with the authors and we kind of have our rollout plans on how we plan on getting the word out there. I'm super, super excited about it. This is my first children's book ever. So this was a goal of mine for like a long-term goal. So I was very surprised when they hit me up to do this project, but I'm super excited about it when just trying to get the word out there any way that I can. Because this is a book that is very much needed right now with the current climate in the United States. How did you get involved with it? Did the author reach out to you directly? Actually, the art director at Random House hit me up, saw my work just on the Internet and on Instagram and kind of traced it back to me. Hit me up and just said, you know, there's a new book coming out called Your Freedom, Your Project. And of course, you know, I said, yes, I was over the moon elated about it. And then she, you know, just went into detail about what the book was going to be about. She showed me who the authors were. Allison Matuli is a lawyer. And then Clelia Castro Malaspina, I believe is how you say her last name, is a writer. And they kind of paired up to write this book. And it's really about it's a middle school level book. And it's about how to protest, how to write a letter to your representative, how to write a petition, just everything on, you know, how to get your voice out there. I think it's super important book that middle schoolers need. Honestly, you know, adults need like everybody needs, but it's super fun. It's in a way that's just, you know, really straightforward and plain for the younger audience. It also talks about previous historic cases throughout the United States history that kind of changed the course of America and learning from those cases and how to implement all of that into today's society. So it's really important. Yeah, I love the idea of a sort of kid slash like, I guess, teenager focused book about civics because I mean, I don't I don't have children, but like, I don't know if they teach civics anymore. I mean, that's sort of stuff you mentioned with the book. Like we learned it in I learned it in civics in seventh grade. But like, I don't know if that's such the case now, especially over the past, I would say maybe 10 to 15 years. And we definitely have seen in the news, you know, protests and things where people are really exercising their civic rights. It's not really taught as to how you go about doing it, because I think it really crops up around elections because we're like, oh, write your congressperson, this that or the other. But how do you start that? How do you even make that happen? You know? Yeah. And you can do it on like such a small level. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't even have to be like around presidential elections, but it's literally just about anything that you want to change. Like you have the power to do it. You have the voice to do it. And like, here are the tools to help you. So, yeah, even I learned a lot from reading the book and illustrating the images. I was just like, wow, this is such a needed book right now. Very cool. We've actually had, man, I think we've had a few children's illustrators on the show fairly recently. I know we had Alianna Harris, we had Akeem Roberts. We've had a couple of folks on the show recently that have done like children's books, illustrations, kid lit as they called it. Is that sort of a dream of yours to do more books like that? It is. I have so many ideas. I have so many ideas for children's books that I want to do. So I'm hoping that this kick starts just a new line of employment for me because I had a lot of fun doing it. It was a lot of work. I will say this book, it took over a year and a half, I believe, total to do it. The deadline got pushed back a few times. The main script changed a few times. So very much a labor of love for sure. But, you know, I love doing it and I have so many ideas for other children's books. So I'm hoping to get started on those like now so that I can keep the momentum going and, you know, keep this ball rolling. But yeah, I loved it. I definitely want to continue for sure. Do you have like representation yet? I don't. So I am debating on, I've had people reach out to me for representation, but I also, I have another illustrator friend and she was like, don't do it. Oh, why is that? She said, so from her experience, she said that she had a representator or representative for her illustrations and that it didn't work out because she felt like they weren't really like pushing her work out there and that they were pretty much just tagging on their percentage for a lot of the work that was coming in, not from them, like just people coming in organically to her. And then having her representative take a percentage off without really finding the work for her. And so she got into some royalties, like children's books that have royalties. And now her representative gets a percentage for life. Oh, wow. And they didn't come to her through the representative. And so she was just telling me, you know, it's not worth it and, you know, just kind of do it on your own. So I don't know. I'm a little on the fence about that. Yeah, that's, I can, I can understand then why you'd want to kind of give that some more, some more thought. I know some of the folks that I mentioned that we've had on the show, they are represented. I think one of them in particular is represented by like, I think it's a, it's either a black agency or it's one that is, is geared towards like black work or black or BIPOC work. Oh, interesting. I don't know. I feel kind of like for illustrators, maybe it just makes sense because like you don't have to do that legwork to find work. Like they kind of just come to you. But then if it's a situation like you mentioned with your friend, that's, that sucks. It's like they're getting a cut of money for not even really doing the work, you know. So the one that I, I talked to, I asked that question, I was kind of like, okay, so if somebody comes to me without you, like if they see me on Instagram or whatever and hits me up, then do you get that percentage? And she said, yes, like that's the way her contracts work. And so it made me hesitant. So I said no at that time, because I was like, well, let me do some more research because I don't know about this. Yeah, no, that's fair. That makes, that makes a lot of sense.

"Yeah. What do you think, where do you think this comes from? And what phenomenon do you think it's trying to capture? Yeah, I definitely think that it is new and I think Pedro Pascal and Jeremy strong are Kendall royer, different kinds of baby girls because I think you want to protect Pedro from bad things, but he's not necessarily pathetic. Like he doesn't need it. It would just be like an honor to protect him, but actually a DM that I got from some random person when I was soliciting definitions of baby girl, someone said, Kendall Roy's not my baby girl, Don Draper is, but good luck. And I said, oh, why is first of all fascinating? What? First of all, why is mad men entered the chat? I mean, it's about business. It's about. This person brought up that Don Draper is someone who seems very successful on the outside, but is coping with a lot of internal failures and that makes people especially. The people I talk to for my story were just 99% like 18 to 30 year old women. And it's like, it's almost like with men who fail watching them kind of triggers this kind of mothering instinct. And I don't Freud closure hours, but I think it comes from a place of love rather than eroticism initially. I do think that people feel very protective of these characters, especially Kendall, who like no spoilers, but just time after time, failing failing failing. So I think that baby girl, I won't say that it's like a feminist for women to kind of returning the tables and want to protect men, but also maybe kind of is like maybe we're just entering the cycle of kind of reclaiming the urge to protect I don't know. I'm really I feel it too and I can't explain it.

"Big, have the end goal in mind, but then start small because when you take on more than you can actually handle, you start to run into issues as well. We want these to be short, iterative cycles here. What we found is that a lot of companies are spending 9, 12, 18 months to get a model out. That is more of a waterfall approach than it is an agile one. And that's not how you should be building your AI and data projects. So when you start small, we go, what is the smallest thing that you can do in this cycle? So that you can get something done. And then continue to iterate often. That's another problem that we've seen that people are just taking on a lot more than they can handle. And then somebody in previous, I think, actually, somewhere we read it. Does this term Wagyu? And we bring it up a lot, because it's waterfall and agile combined. And that's what a lot of people are doing. They want to be agile, but they're not. And so they're running into these issues as well, where they're like, you know, you shouldn't be taking 18 months to get a model out. That's way too long. Let me throw a word in for the traditional p.m. waterfall crowd. I would say, you know, iterative, we know always works well. When you're actually not quite sure what the end solution should be, and we know there's things we don't know. And we need to experiment and learn as we go, right? But sometimes, if you do it right and you have some very narrowly defined scope, a true minimum viable product that's very clear and right in front of you, the path to getting there is known. We can lay out the steps. We know the three work streams or whatever it is, maybe you don't need to iterate more than once. Possible. This actually goes back to what Kendall what you were saying about the potential for this explosive exponential rate of growth. I want to bring this into a very specific case in point here. Even for a very basic thing, let's just say you're trying to do some image recognition thing or like some predictive analytics thing. And you're thinking, oh, it's a very well defined scope. But it's going to take pictures of something and categorize it. And you might think, well, I have a lot of data. I could put possibly have petabytes of data. So there's the temptation to basically say, okay, more is better. So I'm going to go with all that data, and I'm going to use that to build the best model. The problem is you didn't take into account all the other stuff you got to do. It's not just the data. You have to clean the data. You have to label the data. If the integrate the data, oh, and by the way, the data is changing, every 5 minutes. So what's happening is that you just thought, okay, I have a well defined scope. I'm like, yeah, but you just bit off this big data problem. And now what's happening is that your project that you thought was going to be X amount of months. You're like, oh, we didn't realize we needed to do all this cleansing. We need to just date a labeling. I got to outsource this. I got to do this. And then it's like you got to iterate. I got to build them out. It's like, yeah, you just killed your project. You just basically exploded your project, which you should have done was basically started with a more basic model, some more basic data, maybe not try to bite off all that sort of stuff. Don't try to build the Uber chat bot that can handle 25 questions, handle one question. Don't use deep learning. That kind of thing.

Yeah. Him and his left and right foot can go to hell. You guys, I love my office. Oh God. Chris Evans or Brad Pitt. This is Sophie's choice. What are you trying to do? Brad Pitt. I don't want to point her. I don't need that. I want a lot of dick. I like one part about Erika Jayne man. Slide into bed with us starting right now. Two 90 pop somehow hunty crawled out of bed and joined Nina and I finally, after two days. So what you're working with, you got the brace on. You should get up and show the people. I have my brace on right now, not to get everybody at home all moist, but look at that thing. There he is. There you go. Packed in. We put you together like RoboCop, did there we go? Yeah, yeah. I got made fun of a little bit, but I was golfing and then I took a swing. It hurts. So bad. I have it on tech. So what exactly happened? I fell to the ground. To your what? Oh, I fell to my knees. I can't believe you. Like a little squeaky bit. Yeah, he said, I fell to my knees in public. Yeah, women will never understand this pain. Valentine's. And because I was at a public driving wrench, there was hundreds of people around me that I did not know. And so I just pretended I was stretching on the ground. Oh my God. But anyway. We're going to get started because according to sources Kendall and Devin Booker have split after two years together, you guys. It happened shortly after Kourtney's wedding because their lifestyles were not aligned. End quote is attending a wedding together. You guys feel like that's the marker where you realize have you been with somebody where you're like, this is not. Devin wasn't gonna miss his party. Absolutely not. No, no, I know then that they weren't going to be together. He stretched it to make this. Do you think this is Devin's choice? Tell us what you think. Is Kendall interesting to y'all? Listen, they have been together for I'm sorry. Can I not say someone doesn't seem interesting? She's a lot to ask. Is that a shocker? I think she's she's a beautiful girl. She's out of all of the Kardashians. What do you know about Kendall or the national model? And doesn't know how to cut a cucumber. I think, by the way, the things that go viral, I do feel like Kendall, I don't think it's that she's not interesting. I think she's a lot more subdued than her sisters and doesn't want people to know as much about her. So she could low key be the most interesting. Yeah, and I think she might be the most interesting person on the planet. I think she's because she's single now. Yeah. There we go. What wedding did they break up? Courtney had a lot of weddings. Like if I was at wedding number three with my girlfriend for her sister. I would say I've got some basketball to play. I have a job. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with you on that. Well, you know he got a lot of flack because people were saying he wasn't playing as good because he was distracted with all these weddings and parties and that he purposely played bad or because he kept getting hurt. It was a lot of drama with him. He does need to focus on his career before it's gone. Yeah, that's what he's going to go do now is celibacy. They're young. We wish them well. Nobody thought these two were getting married. He's a model. She's a model. He plays football or basketball. Yeah. He plays a sport. Same thing for two. All right, but we do have some good news because Justin Timberlake apologized, you guys finally. You guessed it. He apologized on behalf of his feet. D.C., I want to apologize to you for two reasons. Here and here. I had a long talk with both of them. Individually and said, don't you ever do that to me again? Maybe it was the khakis. This is a real khaki vibe. I'm gonna make this up to you. I'm gonna focus on these two guys right here and get them right. Love y'all. I hate when you see when somebody ends the video. Like, can you not add that part out? Like you're just in time. That is so it just brought it so down to average human lesson. Level. I don't know. Here's the thing. When I watched the video every other time, I have a different opinion. I'm like, are we being too hard on him? Are we not? And then I'm like, it's just not a great video, but I will tell you guys, this hurt him. This hurts the ego. This hurt the ego for him. I don't think the situation hurts. Yeah, I think he stepped up and had to apologize because he was like, damn, I shouldn't have these people. But I think it bothered him inside a little bit. I think he's not used to not being smooth. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there is a point in everybody's life. You both are younger than me, where you're like, I'm getting old. By the way, I'm there right now. It's not old. It's like, why are these not fitting the way? Yeah, also, I had to pretend I was stretching at a driving. Because of my back. Touche, I had to pretend I was too sad. I had to pretend I wanted to sit down on a discussion. Right there right now. You got it. You got it. I kind of love that you're always in character, though, that you felt like that many people were watching you that you need. Yeah, I think Justin, I think, you know, Justin Timberlake needs is just more chances. Yeah. Let's give the guys some more options for growth. Yeah. I love these apologizing to black people. Once again. Yeah, there you go. Oh God, here we go again. Yeah, we got this faster than the janitor apology. So I guess we should be grateful. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Getting back to the Kardashians. We can't escape them. These shows, all right, Kim just decided to show off her office decor. She thinks it looks amazing, but fans think her furniture looks like torture devices. You guys, I love my office. Shout out to Tommy and Waldo for decorating it and working with Michelle from Rick Owens. Yeah, this is just a little glimpse of the inside of my daily office life. This is not for the average human, right? Like this is not what people like. People like plush comfortable things and they want color. I think have to be a thing with them. Yes, it does because this is when you reach this level like you want this sort of uncomfortable French furniture. Just go to live in spaces and call it a day. God, I'm just. Why does everything have to be a thing? Like, I know you got to look a certain way. Even the office has to be a thing. Nothing is functional. Like who is sitting in those first of all, as big as Kim's ass is to put a triangle chair. The nerve. Look at that. That's Kim's chair. So she's basically sitting in a wood seat. But she should be sensitive to the people and look at these chairs. Yeah. Who's sitting in that? Yeah. Kendall? I just love to be comfortable when I'm home. Don't you love to go home, get a nice blanket, lay on your cushy couch, you know, like, have a beverage. Watch TV, like, it just looks like they can never relax. Are you a big couch sitter or do you sit in bed? Oh, no, no, couch. Couch? Couch mostly. Yeah. But you guys have couches with TVs in front of them. I think that's also where you need to set up. You don't have to. You don't have a TV up on your car? No. Morgan lives in the Met. She lives in. How do you watch TV? I have TV in my room. But wait, what about if you have guests over? Oh, you have to, I forgot. I have a theater, but whatever. Goodbye. She's like, I've got to stare at Jean-Michel Basquiat painting what I said. What she Johnson. Anyway, all right, Nina, get hydrated because this next story is going to make you thirsty. BuzzFeed wants to know if Chris Evans is sexier than all of People magazine's sexiest men alive. I find, okay? So here's just a sampling of their poll. Chris Evans or Keanu Reeves, who's here? I think Keanu too. Okay. Then we have Chris Evans or Michael beach. Yeah, we're over Michael B. Jordan, right? It's over that crash with Michael. Yeah, Chris. He's out of here. That was the first two years of nightly. Now we're over. Michael is for the streets. Get out of here. Bye bye, Michael. All right, and this one is a tough one. Chris Evans, take a second, don't jump. Hunter don't jump either. Okay, okay. Chris Evans or Brad Pitt. This is Sophie's choice. What are you trying to do? Brad Pitt. It's Brad Pitt. He can't do this. He's long-standing. He's had a longer career. You see that purple line in that.

Like you're playing against the guys that are jamming the turbo button all game long, and Harrison is going to play slow anyway. He was just this methodical Ford garden affords body where we can cross you up and take it, but it's not the blow by. It's your step behind and I'll pump fake you jump and finish opposite. He's more of like a crafty quick than he'll ever be fast. I don't think anyone's ever gonna say he's fast. No, totally. That's not his game. His game is craft. His game is skill, his game is footwork. Deception, right? Yes, I like deception. Having said that, like, dude looked like he was literally in slow motion against Baylor. Like there's a difference between like, oh yeah, like he's not as athletic as Kendall brown and even like Jeremy sohan. I thought Jeremy sohan looked a lot more athletic than he did. And then looking like, oh, wait like his athleticism is a significant problem. Is he even like tries to blow by? Like Kendall Brown, I'd like multiple moments where he was like a step and a half behind and just recovered to him. Right? Like I'm intrigued by Harrison Ingram. Don't get me wrong, I have a top 50 grade on him right now. But he's really going to have to shoot it and he's only taking two threes a game and making them a 38%, but he's going to win by being an elite shooter. So like it's a fascinating freshman wing class and some of those guys are going to explode and be great..

And I'll leave it this before going to the next question. It's a good comp too because the three point shooting stuff for Sean Mary didn't come on until a little bit later too. His review shot 18% from three. Second year 26% does third year hits 39, there's 30, 34. So it kind of hits that rhythm. It gives kind of like proof to your point.

CEO of X2, Mark French, on How His Product Has Disrupted the Market
"Now. A couple of questions. I have here for you one. Is you guys are operating this business. And i would say that it is. It is disruptive what you're doing from what i can tell. The brand seems to be disruptive. What do you accredit the the rapid growth to do. What do you attribute the rapid growth to why is it. Being such a disruptive success. I would say there's more people coming to the category now right so there's certain people that would never try an energy drink right that more health conscious consumer really was not interested in putting in other bodies some of these beverages that had you know some you know ingredients that you can't even pronounce so as more people. Are you know looking for energy solutions. Whether it's a coffee drinker. That wants something. A little bit cleaner lighter Or you know somebody that might be drinking other energy drinks but is trying to live a healthier lifestyle. You know. i think that's really where the disruption comes in also. There's never really been a brand that you know was built in the locker room in this energy category right so you know. We're really fortunate that Death net recently featured us as a sports drink. Innovator we're not really a sports drink. We're not a hydration drink or something that you might take Before you want to do some exercise or if you wanna just have a little bit more energy and focus throughout the workday but you wanna have it with clean healthy ingredients and you know the other reason why people might consider us to be somewhat. Disruptors is just because of you know this athlete a model. there really haven't been athletes like saquon. Barkley labonte david kawhi leonard and now kendall tool who's one of the top peleton athletes That are joining a company like ours as shareholders and partners in the business. I think it's just you know shedding some light that there is renovation innovation in the energy category and that's where we could probably be looked at as being somewhat

Talking It Out
"kendall" Discussed on Talking It Out
"My rule is that. I wouldn't be the first person to call myself out. Always so whenever i feel like i've done something wrong. I gotta be able to the punch. I'm like i have to admit my own fault. I because and i think it causes a lot more self reflection you know. I think that i'm the kind of person that whenever i really really bad at lying my heart on my sleeve obviously i cry. You know when it comes to that. I feel like it's not fair to give someone a certain impression of yourself. It's not genuine because why would long-term that doesn't last long term. It's like you're going to end up like oh you're not who i thought you were. And why am i with someone that i know is not initially what i was attracted to. You know and i always feel like when it comes to. I always try to be just like blatantly myself. Because then i know i'm attracting someone that likes me for me. You know. i like weird things. i mean. it's weird you know. I like things that are maybe not as conventional and so unlike you have to know about this all ahead of time and how i am. That's cool with you and we can like you know connect on certain things that's run and go for it but But yeah if not unlike why. Why pretend you're just kind of like you're living someone else's life is what you're doing you know you're you're trying to be someone else. Live someone else's life. It's like i can't live by a carelessly through someone else. i would rather be who. I am kendall. Thank you so much for being on today. You're powerful you're showing rages Respectful To joe in.

Of the joe in serena situation a kudos hundred percent kudos for that. I loved having her man. i i'm kind of a little bias at joe and kendall feel i i love them so much together like i always loved him as a couple and you know it's it's a shame at the end of the day that you know they could make things work but i think they're both too great individuals and you know i wish them nothing but the best i believe from what we heard today is that she's ready to move on and she's ready to date other people which i believe is a positive for her and you know. I'm just glad that she was able to solve whatever issues they had on the beach. And just be able to move forward now in real in reality so she. I hate that. They broke up for the record.

Texas Abortion Law Takes Effect Without Supreme Court Action
"Texas a new abortion law has gone into effect the most restrictive in the nation the so called fetal. Heartbeat law prohibits getting an abortion anytime after about six weeks of pregnancy clinics and reproductive rights advocates made an emergency request of the supreme court earlier this week to block the law but so far the justices have not stepped in joining me now on what the next steps could be for the highest court and what this means for roe. V wade is wall street journal legal affairs reporter bronze. Kendall hi brent. Thanks for joining me. Thanks. for having me so brent. The supreme court has not yet stepped in here but banning abortions. This early does conflict with the court's precedent right. It does under longstanding precedent states can regulate but not outright ban abortion and the weeks and months before what's called fetal viability which means the ability of a fetus to to meaningfully live outside of the womb. The text of the law says that there's a detectable heartbeat. You can't perform an abortion. And so the way the laws defined i mean that includes sort of embryonic cardiac activity which happens at about six weeks which is far sooner than you can ban abortion right now look. Many women. don't even other pregnant at six weeks. So abortion rights advocates. Say look at six weeks. All you have is a tiny embryo. It's not it's not a feat as it's not correct even really call this a heartbeat. That's just one of the many broader disputes here. Aside from the legal questions. So what exactly can you tell us. About what the court has been asked to do regarding this emergency request. This all happened. Pretty quickly escalated pretty quickly. Texas enacted this law and may it was set to go into effect. Today there had been some lower court proceedings. There was a lawsuit in july and things had been moving along.

"To the house on an island off the Maine Coast for a weekend and treated everyone to a weekend. At this big house was ten bedrooms, it was right on the water. It wage. Or just we looked up with the weather. People brought their Reiki tables and we did Reiki on the beach. It was so awesome and we just hung out all weekend. We had tuned each other. We talked about Reiki, we shared Reiki, we offer great food. It was wonderful. So there can be intangible rewards. So again to start a program met a Medical Institution, start a committee form, a committee, right policies and procedures, educate the staff, just some trial runs. And when the way I did it at the hospital, I got a check-off box on the admission screen, which I felt was a huge cute. It was huge because that means that every time a person was admitted to the hospital, the admitting nurse asked the person if they were interested in a free Reiki session, so that was awesome. Oh also! One other thing there are hospitals who have started raping programs and they will help. They, they will help you along. For example, when I started the Reiki program at the hospital, I leaned heavily on Hartford Hospital in Hartford Connecticut. They had a home To book on how to do this and they even came up. No, they didn't come up, they came up from a medical center and met with us because Maine Medical Center had a Reiki program. They came and met with this people who ran a program, it made Medical Center Hartford Hospital has since started charging for their book on there. How to book, but there are books out there and people willing to help. So, all you need to do is ask God. That's fantastic. That's, that's really good information. Thank you. Can you tell us about your books before we wrap up and, and what like, maybe a story or two from your real storybook. Oh sure. Thank you. Yes. I wrote two books about Reiki about my Reiki journey and just my transition, my Spiritual Awakening one is called Reiki nurse Life as a nurse and have a Reiki changed it. And Reiki stories, my hot hands, both are available from all major booksellers or from the publisher directly book blogger.com. So their stories about birth, Are saying and Reiki and I do want to tell a story but it's a story that my teacher told me, I couldn't inamoto that my teacher told me and I I love this story and life does relate to the books. So as people we, we are just wandering lost in a forest. We might just feel like we're lost. We, we don't know. We're doing and then all of a sudden we see a path. Oh, there's a path, we start walking on the path, we see a white oxen on the path, there's a white box and we walk together with the oxen. We start climbing a mountain, the ox and wanders off. We get to the top of the mountain, look at the view and we walk down the mountain then we teach everyone what we learn and then we wander lost in the forest so that is their journey of Enlightenment and it's a continual process. You don't stay at the top of the mountain. You come down. Tell people what you learn share, what you learn. Yep. My books are sharing. What I've learned. What I learned so far when I wrote them and some Enlightenment isn't an end, it's just a step on our journey. And we just, it's we just, we're continually learning, Shack, walking, with others learning from others. We learn from everybody, everyone's a teacher. Thank you. That's beautiful. And so true.

A Big Week for Global Tech Policy
"New chair of the federal trade commission a raft of bipartisan legislation aimed at big tech and an agreement to collaborate with the european union. It's been a pretty eventful week in terms of global tech policy here to break down what all happened and what the landscape looks like going forward is our policy reporter ryan tracy. Hey ryan thanks for coming back on the show things for me okay. So let's start with the f. T. c. biden named the prominent big tech critic. Lena con as fdic chair you know. We talked about this earlier in the week. With our colleague brent kendall but remind us of the significant of khan's appointment. She's been very clear that she has concerns about the behavior of big companies in a lot of sectors tech. It's been a particular focus for her confirmation hearing she basically said everything's on the table in terms of big tech. Senators asked her a number of questions about areas where the ftc could become more aggressive in terms of looking at the marketplace for news or looking at the marketplace for a smartphone apps all these different areas where we've heard some concerns about the impact of big tech and her answer was almost invariably. Yes to those questions now. There are limits to the ftc's power but mistaken has an expansive view of what that power is and so we expect her to push those limits and so does this signal sort of shift from the obama years to the biden administration potentially signals a much more aggressive approach to antitrust policy. And that's obviously a big deal for the largest tech companies. Who are under. A lot of antitrust scrutiny. Right now and it's kind of amazing when you step back you know. They had a lot of power under the obama administration and a lot of influence and had the biden administration asked for who they would have picked to lead the federal trade commission. Liikanen think it's fair to say would not have been near the top of their list. Just given that a lot of things critical of tech companies in the past so the fact that the biden administration chose her clearly shows their influence is more limited than it used to be.

Supreme Court Rejects Third Challenge to ACA
"The supreme court has rejected another legal challenge to the affordable care act the signature. Healthcare law passed under the obama administration in a seven two decision. The court found that a case brought by texas and other republican leaning states lacked legal. Standing is the third time the court has considered the two thousand ten law and the third time that the aca has prevailed for more on. Today's decision i'm joined by wall street journal. Legal affairs reporter brent kendall. Hi brian thanks for being here. Thanks for having me so brent. Tell us more about the court's reasoning here. This is the third time. The court has had to wade into this area. I mean in some ways. This was the most unlikely of three cases. This was all setup because congress a couple of years ago there's a mandate in the law that most people buy insurance and there was a penalty associated with that if you didn't and so what congress did a couple years ago as part of a tax reform package zero out the penalty so now even if you don't have coverage and your technically supposed to. There's no monetary penalty for doing that. The complication is supreme court previously upheld the law and the idea that congress could use its taxing power as a justification for the mandate in the first place and so then republicans stepped in and said. Well there's no tax anymore you can't justify the law under the taxing power and so what the court said today as well. You don't really have any valid basis for making that argument because nobody is hurt by. The government charging us zero dollars for not carrying insurance. The end we don't say anything else in the case.

Kendall Jenner Had 'Personal Life Rules'
"Guys, now with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians season or show coming to an end, Kendall Jenner felt I should have said speaking of eating pussy. But Kendall Jenner felt she had to address why her boyfriends were never on the show. Oh my God, we know why. My listeners on Patreon, no why. But I'm reading this kiss ass article on that site TooFab. Too fat. And it's so insane the way these people, these writers or quasi reporters are trained. These young dumb reporters are trained to write about celebrities in a way that they'll always be friendly and they'll always be close to them and have access. So nothing you're reading is the truth. But part of the article read in part, while viewers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians saw its stars relationships and relationship trauma with the likes of Kanye West, Tristan Thompson, Lamar Odom, blac Chyna, and Tiger over the years. One family member was a little more elusive with their love life. Kendall Jenner apparently liked to keep her relationships a little closer to the vest with the show's executive producers. Explaining the model's mandate around the men in her life. And this exact producer fanas fajon said Kendall always had this rule, she felt like she had to be with somebody for at least a year before she let them be part of the show because she doesn't always know what people's intentions are. So that's why we kind of kept her personal life out
