00:00:00.000 all right guys so be a blessing here say hi to the people what's up so blessing you've worked
00:00:07.820 for me now for how long a year and something a year yeah because you were you were he was part
00:00:14.540 time at first yep and then he just he moved into full time real quick because he was just very
00:00:21.260 talented just happened sometimes it happens i'll actually i'll tell you what happened i'll tell
00:00:25.840 you what happened no no we're not i wasn't even gonna tell that part but but um no i'll tell you
00:00:31.640 what happened so basically blessing was um training someone and he he like subbed for my other producer
00:00:41.020 at the time and um the day he subbed he fixed all of my problems like in one day it was like amazing
00:00:48.320 it was like it was like he he could do a call-in show it was every problem he he just figured out
00:00:54.600 and i was like he could he could he can stay yeah and from that they've been here since yeah yeah
00:01:02.300 so i i there's a lot of talk on the internet about a very terrible work conditions how have you survived
00:01:08.940 through them no life heat in miami is my problem flies to vegas is my problem
00:01:17.740 no they've said that they've said um you have a slave contract is that
00:01:23.940 nah i'm okay guys don't worry about me no that that's what they're saying i don't need to be freed
00:01:28.640 like some of you i actually need to free some of you it is so crazy how did it work out for
00:01:36.340 for the people that you know to be honest i don't know because they have not showed up on my feet
00:01:42.480 okay okay okay but anyway so tell me what what is the past what's it like being like behind the scenes
00:01:53.300 um for all this for these crazy moments like people get it we've had the police called
00:01:58.560 um we've even kicked people off the show it gets crazy yeah like what have what have you learned
00:02:04.760 from watching hundreds of shows and meeting like hundreds of women a lot of women are the same
00:02:11.040 it's not all it's actually crazy because i didn't have this mindset before but
00:02:17.400 now when you see it it's like you can't run away from it it's the truth
00:02:23.600 and what about they all say that we recruit like specific types of women to get on the show
00:02:28.820 nah it's actually random like hell has no input on who is coming
00:02:33.560 there are people that come that we don't even want to be there but no
00:02:38.540 no yeah there was one chick that came and i came in and i was this chick that made like five videos
00:02:44.340 about how much he hated me and i turned to them i'm like why is this bitch here
00:02:47.100 that's what i'm saying like we're recruiters that just get people
00:02:51.760 yeah to come on the show so it's not pre-selected for failure if they fail it's because that's
00:02:59.100 what they are okay so so what's your advice to someone that wants to be like a producer
00:03:08.120 or wants to like do youtube and like because you were kind of interesting you're people
00:03:14.680 don't know this but but your family like didn't want you to do production right they wanted you
00:03:21.540 to go into like healthcare i come from zimbabwe and we have a bit more of a traditional mindset
00:03:27.400 so you're expected to go to uni university college do like the more traditional jobs
00:03:34.440 doctor lawyer all that me i've always been a creative from the start so going into production
00:03:42.980 is like well my mom actually said you know hey if you can make your work make your work but
00:03:50.800 i don't think that's the path that she would say if you want it for me but anyways you have to work
00:03:56.860 hard like i remember when when i started a pulse i was building the studio while the shows were going
00:04:03.660 on the six nights every day we're doing a show monday to saturday it was it was crazy it was hectic
00:04:11.820 that i literally had to like sleep in the studio uh which worked out well
00:04:21.680 but you had to put in the extra hours to make sure that everything gets done so you can't be lazy
00:04:28.940 you have to be able to work even when no one is working and you have to be to see the bigger picture
00:04:37.340 as well and just put in the work like a lot of people just don't want to put in the work
00:04:41.540 and network as well because that's how you're gonna get great jobs and also you have to be able
00:04:47.260 to help people like me i end up with hell really because i was helping someone so if you are passionate
00:04:53.540 about what you do be passionate about it don't put too much you know expectations things will fall
00:05:00.280 in place but you have to be passionate and work hard for it and what what um what's it like like
00:05:11.820 you know being behind the scenes like with like do you do you get backlash from your community at all
00:05:21.460 like you know working where you work nah not the same community
00:05:26.160 i'm from zimbabwe there's no backlash from my country no i've had backlash from other communities
00:05:33.680 but not to mention which ones they know who they are you know but there's no backlash
00:05:39.520 like your family your sisters about nothing nah they were happy for me you know i mean
00:05:45.380 i don't need to go watch the content though but i don't think there's any problems for my community
00:05:53.160 anyways uh it's great work that we do at just birdie there's a lot of hard workers there
00:05:58.300 and that was a great boss i'm not gonna say that
00:06:02.160 yeah i paid them too
00:06:04.700 i get paid well i've never been playing
00:06:08.020 wait so um so how is the switch been so like six months ago roughly we switched you from doing
00:06:17.580 like production and now you help manage how is that i mean it's it's like it's been terrible for
00:06:24.760 me i hate it it's a different beast i'll tell you that but i'm always out for a challenge
00:06:29.000 that's how i ended up here because i'm always out for a challenge some people give up and say this
00:06:33.280 not for me me i say okay how can i make become better at this at this job that i've been given
00:06:39.300 elevated to so we we are we are not the best yet but we are working hard on it you know what's
00:06:46.900 interesting too i feel like the best people like because i don't know about you i just always had
00:06:52.480 the mindset of like developing skills yeah and i never really cared about like even the way i
00:06:58.340 question people i really think is from my two years in sales like i i really do because back
00:07:05.880 then it was like a terrible job but i just told myself i was going to learn this skill and that's
00:07:11.120 it you gotta have as many skills as possible me i came from a church background i told myself how to
00:07:17.540 play all instruments move from there i told myself how to do this camera stuff production stuff but i put
00:07:23.920 myself in positions to learn and you might fail but don't be scared of failure because if you fail
00:07:30.280 you're gonna learn something from it and it's actually better for you to fail because that means
00:07:35.420 you know how to solve that problem for next time so that's why i can tell people it's gonna happen
00:07:42.600 you're gonna fail some things it's gonna be hard you're gonna want to give up but the minute you do
