Because it's starting now.
22
:
00:01:42
Oh my goodness, radiant icons.
23
:
00:01:43
I can't believe that Vegas is almost here.
24
:
00:01:45
Like literally I can taste it.
25
:
00:01:47
It's so close.
26
:
00:01:48
That's actually mind
blowingly insane to me.
27
:
00:01:52
But anyway, let, let's talk
about Vegas real quick.
28
:
00:01:54
Okay.
29
:
00:01:55
So actually not real quick.
30
:
00:01:57
This whole episode is dedicated to Vegas.
31
:
00:01:59
Okay?
32
:
00:01:59
So I can take my damn time anyway.
33
:
00:02:01
Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, baby.
34
:
00:02:03
Oh my goodness.
35
:
00:02:04
Well, when I think of Vegas, I think of
three words, sexy , single, and iconic.
36
:
00:02:08
I also think of, um, no sleep,
and I think of partying my ass off
37
:
00:02:13
until my feet bleed from my heels.
38
:
00:02:15
Do you know that TikTok sound where
it's like, oh, she arrived in Vegas
39
:
00:02:18
on on Friday and then she stayed up
till 3:00 AM and then the next night
40
:
00:02:21
she stayed up till 6:00 AM That's me.
41
:
00:02:23
That is my theme song
for the entire weekend.
42
:
00:02:25
I literally will only be
in Vegas for 72 hours.
43
:
00:02:29
You know how people say like, oh, New
York is the city that never sleeps.
44
:
00:02:32
No.
45
:
00:02:32
Vegas will be.
46
:
00:02:33
Vegas will be, and maybe it's this
version of Amanda that will not stop.
47
:
00:02:37
Like she will just keep on going.
48
:
00:02:38
And you know what?
49
:
00:02:39
I'm happy for me.
50
:
00:02:40
I deserve this.
51
:
00:02:41
I truly have never allowed myself
to really have a trip where I just
52
:
00:02:46
go full out and I just go for it.
53
:
00:02:49
Because when I was in college, I
was the girl that was studying on
54
:
00:02:53
a Friday, and Saturday and Sunday.
55
:
00:02:55
I didn't go out to the damn club.
56
:
00:02:57
Okay.
57
:
00:02:57
So I think, I think now in this
era of my life, I'm really just
58
:
00:03:02
saying, fuck it and I'm going for it.
59
:
00:03:05
I'm gonna go to the networking
events, I'm gonna network my.
60
:
00:03:08
Ass off.
61
:
00:03:09
Off.
62
:
00:03:09
And then I'm gonna party my ass off.
63
:
00:03:11
It's a little bit of work and
play like, what can I say?
64
:
00:03:14
That's what makes it
sexy, single and iconic.
65
:
00:03:17
But anywho?
66
:
00:03:18
Anyway, let's talk about the
drivers that I'm rooting for.
67
:
00:03:24
Obviously we all know I'm
rooting for Lando Norris.
68
:
00:03:26
Like I don't think that's any surprise
to anyone on this podcast that
69
:
00:03:30
Lando Norris is my favorite driver.
70
:
00:03:31
I live, breathe, and die Lando Norris.
71
:
00:03:35
And I know Lando wants to
be on Dare to Be Iconic.
72
:
00:03:38
So Lando, whenever you are available,
my dude, whenever you are available and
73
:
00:03:42
wanna come and chit chat, spill the tea
about life, about mental health, you
74
:
00:03:46
know, anything honestly, that's iconic.
75
:
00:03:52
We will love to have you.
76
:
00:03:53
Okay.
77
:
00:03:54
But besides Lando Norris,
I am very, very excited.
78
:
00:04:00
Also for the female quotient
and F1 Academy events.
79
:
00:04:03
Not a surprise there.
80
:
00:04:04
They're two of my dream partners.
81
:
00:04:05
When will Amanda ever shut up about them?
82
:
00:04:07
Absolutely never.
83
:
00:04:08
I'm a true believer in manifestation.
84
:
00:04:11
The more times I say it out loud on this
podcast, the more it will eventually
85
:
00:04:16
get to their ears and they'll be like,
Hey, Amanda, and Dare to be Iconic.
86
:
00:04:19
That's, that's who we wanna pair up with.
87
:
00:04:22
Watch.
88
:
00:04:22
I'm gonna be there speaking at an event
next year, point blank, and period.
89
:
00:04:25
Watch it.
90
:
00:04:26
radiant icons.
91
:
00:04:26
I know.
92
:
00:04:27
We all believe it 'cause
it's gonna happen anyway.
93
:
00:04:30
Something else that I'm so excited
for is the Williams fan zone.
94
:
00:04:34
Every Grand Prix that I have
been to the Williams fan zone has
95
:
00:04:38
exceeded my expectations time and
time again because Williams truly
96
:
00:04:42
cares about the fan experience.
97
:
00:04:45
I will never forget my first experience
with Williams in their Williams fan zone.
98
:
00:04:51
I will never forget how well their
staff took care of my friends and I.
99
:
00:04:56
I will never forget how nice everyone
was and how caring and kind and they
100
:
00:05:01
truly were looking out for us, and
they want the best for their fans.
101
:
00:05:05
They treat their fans like family.
102
:
00:05:07
And I will always be a supporter
of Williams Racing no matter what.
103
:
00:05:11
I actually think Carlos and Alex
are a great driver duo, and I think
104
:
00:05:17
they're both extremely talented.
105
:
00:05:19
I mean, it's no secret that Carlos
is a, you know, a top tier driver,
106
:
00:05:23
and I think Alex is very underrated.
107
:
00:05:26
I don't think he gets his flowers.
108
:
00:05:27
I don't think he gets his
praise as much as he should.
109
:
00:05:32
Yeah, Williams is an underdog and I
will always be rooting for the underdog,
110
:
00:05:36
especially knowing their values
and their morals and their beliefs,
111
:
00:05:40
because I will always go back to Spain.
112
:
00:05:43
I will always go back to how they
treated me, and my first interaction
113
:
00:05:47
with them was absolutely phenomenal
especially as a young woman in this
114
:
00:05:53
sport, in a, in a place that I knew
no one in, I felt extremely safe.
115
:
00:05:57
And that is so rare.
116
:
00:05:59
So Williams will always have a special
place in my heart, so I definitely
117
:
00:06:03
will be going to the Williams fan zone
in Las Vegas and I truly cannot wait.
118
:
00:06:07
Another thing that I can't
wait for is the LN4 Store.
119
:
00:06:10
Again, we know I live, breathe, and Die,
Lando Norris, and while Orlando is having
120
:
00:06:15
his own pop-up store there in Vegas, they
haven't announced the location yet, but
121
:
00:06:20
you already know I'm gonna go and Faith
and Erica are Lando Girlies as well.
122
:
00:06:24
So you all know we're going to be.
123
:
00:06:26
Going together, looking at everything, and
I know that I truly probably shouldn't.
124
:
00:06:32
I shouldn't be, you know, spending my
wallet late at the Landowner Norris
125
:
00:06:38
store at the LN4 store because I know
it's gonna be extremely expensive.
126
:
00:06:43
But no, no, I actually can't.
127
:
00:06:45
Like I truly can't you guys, because you
know where I'm gonna be spending my money
128
:
00:06:48
at the Hello Kitty F1 Academy collab
at the F1 Hub that Oh my, like that.
129
:
00:06:54
Oh my God.
130
:
00:06:55
Oh, I can't even, like complete thoughts.
131
:
00:06:56
I'm so excited about that.
132
:
00:06:57
Like the LN4 store, I'm excited for.
133
:
00:06:59
Obviously I love Lando Norris.
134
:
00:07:01
That is not a surprise.
135
:
00:07:02
Very excited.
136
:
00:07:03
But I know it's not a financially
smart decision to like be
137
:
00:07:10
spending my wallet there.
138
:
00:07:11
I just know everything is gonna
be extremely, extremely expensive.
139
:
00:07:14
It's not gonna be affordable.
140
:
00:07:15
And in this economy and running a business
in this economy, your girl can't spend
141
:
00:07:21
200 plus dollars on Lando Norris fleece.
142
:
00:07:25
Like that's just not happening.
143
:
00:07:26
Um, that's the reality of the situation.
144
:
00:07:28
But you know where I
can spend my money on.
145
:
00:07:32
On that $35 plush on that $35 Hello
Kitty plush in her F1 Academy,
146
:
00:07:37
her purple F1 Academy race suit.
147
:
00:07:39
If there is one thing about me.
148
:
00:07:42
I love Hello Kitty.
149
:
00:07:43
I am a Hello Kitty girl.
150
:
00:07:46
Oh my God, when I was younger,
actually in kindergarten.
151
:
00:07:48
I've never told anyone this story
before this is gonna be so embarrassing.
152
:
00:07:51
But anyway, God dare to be iconic.
153
:
00:07:53
I just say everything on here,
so, so when I was in kindergarten.
154
:
00:08:00
During the month of May, my
kindergarten teacher, Ms.
155
:
00:08:03
Drake, asked me, okay, like,
what's a holiday in May that
156
:
00:08:08
we are looking forward to?
157
:
00:08:09
And you know, the normal person
would've said, mother's Day,
158
:
00:08:14
you wanna know what I said?
159
:
00:08:16
I said Hello Kitty Day, because I
had a Hello Kitty book that had a
160
:
00:08:21
calendar in it and it had all the like
holidays and in May, I guess there's
161
:
00:08:27
Hello Kitty Day and I had just read it
and I was like, oh, hello Kitty Day.
162
:
00:08:31
And so I raised my hand, little
baby Amanda, and she goes, Amanda,
163
:
00:08:37
and I went, Hello Kitty Day.
164
:
00:08:40
I got laughed at.
165
:
00:08:41
I got everyone in class laughed at me.
166
:
00:08:43
I've never been more embarrassed
in my life than in that exact
167
:
00:08:47
moment because I said, hello
Kitty Day instead of Mother's Day.
168
:
00:08:50
That's how you know how die
hard I am for Hello Kitty.
169
:
00:08:54
And so when I saw the F1 Academy,
'cause you know I love F1 Academy
170
:
00:08:59
and you know that's a dream
partner for Dare to Be Iconic.
171
:
00:09:03
And now knowing my love for Hello Kitty.
172
:
00:09:05
When I saw that and I saw it for
Las Vegas, I said, holy shit.
173
:
00:09:08
I said, holy shit.
174
:
00:09:09
I was meant to go to
this race because what?
175
:
00:09:12
Like the universe is
telling me I had to go.
176
:
00:09:15
So here I am in Vegas and I have to
get my hands on that hello Kitty plush.
177
:
00:09:21
I just need it.
178
:
00:09:23
I need it in my life.
179
:
00:09:24
It is a need.
180
:
00:09:26
And a want.
181
:
00:09:27
It's necessary.
182
:
00:09:28
That is a financial decision
that I can get behind.
183
:
00:09:31
I cannot get behind spending 200 plus
dollars on Lando Norris's fleece.
184
:
00:09:36
I just simply can't.
185
:
00:09:39
But I will be spending my money on
any Hello Kitty merch that I deem is
186
:
00:09:42
like beautiful and perfect for me, and
that plush is the first thing that's
187
:
00:09:47
going in my very, very packed suitcase.
188
:
00:09:49
I don't know where the hell
I'm gonna fit all this shit,
189
:
00:09:51
but I'm gonna figure it out.
190
:
00:09:53
I'm gonna figure it out.
191
:
00:09:54
So that is what I am looking forward to.
192
:
00:09:57
The, oh, also, I'm very excited
for the outfits because you already
193
:
00:10:02
know it's gonna be like cheetah
print and leather and sparkles and
194
:
00:10:06
glitter and like some purple to
bring back the OG DTBI aesthetic.
195
:
00:10:12
Like I am so excited.
196
:
00:10:13
I'm so excited.
197
:
00:10:14
And you already know thigh
high boots, chunky ass heels.
198
:
00:10:18
Like it's, it's gonna be so good.
199
:
00:10:20
So good.
200
:
00:10:21
I can't wait.
201
:
00:10:21
I cannot wait for the content, you guys.
202
:
00:10:23
I truly cannot wait.
203
:
00:10:24
And then also, I'm very
excited for the food.
204
:
00:10:28
I am so excited for the food.
205
:
00:10:30
One thing in Vegas that I just keep
looking at, because again, I'm from
206
:
00:10:33
the East coast, okay, we have Shake
Shack, but I see every damn time
207
:
00:10:37
in and out, and I will finally,
finally be able to eat in and out.
208
:
00:10:41
I'm so excited.
209
:
00:10:42
My girl, faith and I,
faith is also from Florida.
210
:
00:10:46
She's from the East Coast, and.
211
:
00:10:48
We were texting each other, we're
like, we have to get in and out.
212
:
00:10:51
And our friend Erica, is from the
West coast, so she's already had in
213
:
00:10:54
and out, and she's like, I can't wait
to be there with you guys for when
214
:
00:10:57
you like try it for the first time.
215
:
00:10:59
And so we're doing it.
216
:
00:11:00
I don't know how we're gonna fit it in in
our 72 hours of doing everything because
217
:
00:11:05
Friday's the most packed day imaginable.
218
:
00:11:07
And Saturday is race day.
219
:
00:11:08
And then Sunday we're gonna be so tired,
but we have to fit in, in and out.
220
:
00:11:13
Like In-N-Out is a necessity.
221
:
00:11:14
So I'm very excited for the
food, particularly in and out.
222
:
00:11:17
And I'm so excited for the
outfits because, you know, I love
223
:
00:11:20
dressing up, I love looking hot,
and I love taking my hot photos.
224
:
00:11:24
I love it.
225
:
00:11:25
So again, make sure you're following me
on Insta and TikTok for the live updates.
226
:
00:11:31
You know what's going on because
you already know it's gonna be
227
:
00:11:34
sexy, it's gonna be hot, it's gonna
be iconic, it's gonna be chaotic.
228
:
00:11:39
It's gonna be unhinged.
229
:
00:11:40
Like I.
230
:
00:11:42
Lord, help me.
231
:
00:11:44
Lord, help me Lord, help us Lord,
help everyone, especially those
232
:
00:11:48
single men in Vegas, because I
will be getting those free drinks.
233
:
00:11:51
Okay, now let's talk about that personal
prep and behind the scenes madness.
234
:
00:11:57
So I will be living in a suitcase
for the next 15 days of my life.
235
:
00:12:06
I'm a little terrified you guys,
because I have a lot of shit to pack
236
:
00:12:11
in a very tiny carry on luggage.
237
:
00:12:14
And in the middle of this, I'm
traveling during the government
238
:
00:12:18
shutdown, like I'm based in the us.
239
:
00:12:19
So if you guys don't know, we're
in the middle of a government
240
:
00:12:21
shutdown as I'm currently filming
this, I think they're in the middle
241
:
00:12:24
of figuring out some type of deal.
242
:
00:12:28
It's complicated.
243
:
00:12:31
The us, the US is all I have to say.
244
:
00:12:34
Um, but I am gonna be living in a
suitcase for the next 15 days of my life.
245
:
00:12:41
I'm scared.
246
:
00:12:42
I'm so scared and so excited because the
wardrobe for this trip is like, the first
247
:
00:12:48
half is all business professional for my
day job, like covered up to the max, like
248
:
00:12:55
so so covered up, nothing is showing.
249
:
00:12:59
And then you'll see my Vegas fits and
it's like sparkles and leather and
250
:
00:13:03
short ass skirts and red and thigh high
boots, and the lowest tops imaginable.
251
:
00:13:09
Like the teeny tiny outfits
that you saw for Halloween.
252
:
00:13:11
Imagine that doubled for Vegas.
253
:
00:13:13
That is what my luggage is, is gonna look
like I, I'm literally Hannah, Juan Santa.
254
:
00:13:17
Okay.
255
:
00:13:17
I'm literally Hannah, Juan Santa.
256
:
00:13:18
I'm living the best of both worlds.
257
:
00:13:19
Okay.
258
:
00:13:20
Like that's just it.
259
:
00:13:22
Oh my god.
260
:
00:13:24
But now on a serious note, radiant icons.
261
:
00:13:26
This wouldn't be dare to be iconic if
I didn't share the lessons that I hope
262
:
00:13:31
to gain from my trip to Las Vegas.
263
:
00:13:34
So my goals for this trip are to have
fun, to lean into the unpredictability
264
:
00:13:41
because the reality is when you're
going on a trip for this long in length,
265
:
00:13:46
and you have two different reasons
why you're gonna be there, right?
266
:
00:13:49
This, this trip for me
is split down the middle.
267
:
00:13:52
The first half is for my day job and
all those day job responsibilities
268
:
00:13:56
that I have, that I hold.
269
:
00:13:59
And then the second half, the 72 hour
portion is for my own business, dare
270
:
00:14:03
to be iconic and getting the most
out of this opportunity as I possibly
271
:
00:14:08
can, and while this is a very long
trip and I'm just gonna be going,
272
:
00:14:13
going, going, I need to lean into the
unpredictability and appreciate the
273
:
00:14:20
small moments that will happen when
I lean into that unpredictability.
274
:
00:14:25
Because the honest truth is with anything
right of this magnitude things will not
275
:
00:14:33
go as planned, whether that's in the day
job portion of this trip, or it's in the
276
:
00:14:38
Dare to be iconic portion of this trip.
277
:
00:14:40
Things will not go as planned,
so I need to learn how to lean
278
:
00:14:45
into the unpredictability, be
okay with it, and appreciate the
279
:
00:14:49
small moments that I do have.
280
:
00:14:52
So that's a really big goal that I
really, really, really want to just
281
:
00:14:56
fully embrace as I go on this trip.
282
:
00:14:59
And my last goal is I need to shoot
my fucking shot, especially for
283
:
00:15:06
the Dare to be iconic portion of
this trip, the 72 hours in Vegas.
284
:
00:15:11
I am going to be in rooms that
I have only ever dreamed of.
285
:
00:15:16
I have only ever dreamed of in my
first year of Dare to Be Iconic,
286
:
00:15:19
I wished and dreamed to be in the
rooms that I get to be in, in this
287
:
00:15:24
stage of my career, of my business.
288
:
00:15:28
I am now, oh my God, we're, we're
in year three of Dare to Be Iconic.
289
:
00:15:33
That's so weird.
290
:
00:15:34
I haven't said that before, but
we are in year three right now.
291
:
00:15:38
That is immense growth to be in
rooms that I have only dreamed of.
292
:
00:15:42
And I need to shoot my fucking shot.
293
:
00:15:44
I need to take every opportunity that
I can within that short amount of time.
294
:
00:15:51
I need to fucking go for it.
295
:
00:15:54
I can't hold back because like
female quotient has said in one
296
:
00:15:58
of their campaigns, it's like fq
fear, that's what I need to do.
297
:
00:16:02
Fuck the fear of perception.
298
:
00:16:05
Fuck the fear of judgment.
299
:
00:16:08
Fuck the fear of making
a fool out of myself.
300
:
00:16:10
Fuck the fear of whatever the hell it is.
301
:
00:16:14
Fuck that fear and go for it.
302
:
00:16:16
Because like I mentioned last
week, fear is just an invitation.
303
:
00:16:22
Fear is just an invitation to glow up.
304
:
00:16:24
How the hell are you gonna glow up?
305
:
00:16:26
For me, i'm gonna shoot my fucking
shot when I'm in these rooms.
306
:
00:16:30
I'm not gonna be afraid.
307
:
00:16:32
I'm going to dare to be myself.
308
:
00:16:35
I'm going to talk about dare to be iconic.
309
:
00:16:37
I'm going to get to know that other
individual and see maybe how can we align
310
:
00:16:42
for future projects, future partnerships.
311
:
00:16:46
That's my goal.
312
:
00:16:48
And that is what I'm going to do.
313
:
00:16:49
I'm going to make the most out of the
time that I have in Vegas at the events
314
:
00:16:55
that I am fortunate enough to be at.
315
:
00:16:59
That is what I want to do.
316
:
00:17:00
That is one of my main, main goals.
317
:
00:17:03
So I need to fuck the fear.
318
:
00:17:04
I need to shoot my fucking shot.
319
:
00:17:06
And my goal within that, so like my sub
goal, right, is I wanna leave each event
320
:
00:17:12
with at least, at least two new contacts,
two new contacts that will add value not
321
:
00:17:20
only to myself and dare to be iconic,
but add value to them as well, because
322
:
00:17:27
that is the goal of a partnership, right?
323
:
00:17:31
It has to add value for both individuals,
both organizations, and that is my goal.
324
:
00:17:37
I want to come out of these
networking events with two, at
325
:
00:17:44
least two impactful and value added.
326
:
00:17:48
That's the word I'm looking for.
327
:
00:17:49
Value added connections.
328
:
00:17:54
Yeah.
329
:
00:17:55
That's dare to be iconic for you baby.
330
:
00:17:57
I always have to mention a lesson or two.
331
:
00:17:59
And you know what?
332
:
00:18:00
It wouldn't be dare to be iconic if
I didn't end on a sentimental note.
333
:
00:18:04
So I was actually thinking about
this the other day, radiant icons
334
:
00:18:07
is that my first race was in June
of:
2024
335
:
00:18:15
Before the Barcelona Grand
Prix, I had never been outside
336
:
00:18:18
the United States before.
337
:
00:18:20
I had never traveled by
myself without my parents.
338
:
00:18:24
I never traveled with my friends and
I never liked a sport in my damn life.
339
:
00:18:30
I never liked a sport in my damn life.
340
:
00:18:33
And then all of a sudden I got laid off
in August of:
2023
341
:
00:18:39
to fill that void in my life, right,
to give me some sense of joy as I was
342
:
00:18:43
also figuring out Dare To Be Iconic.
343
:
00:18:47
And at the time I was figuring out Dare To
Be Iconic and the vision for my business.
344
:
00:18:53
I fell in love with Formula One,
and because I fell in love with
345
:
00:18:56
this sport, I have been able to have
the most amazing and unforgettable
346
:
00:19:03
opportunities and experiences of my life.
347
:
00:19:06
I have gained so much confidence from
this sport, whether it's in my voice
348
:
00:19:14
and advocating for women in motor
sports, particularly fan girls, right?
349
:
00:19:19
Dare to embrace your inner fan
girl, or if it's confidence in that
350
:
00:19:25
I can do the scary things alone.
351
:
00:19:28
I can travel across the world
and go to a sporting event.
352
:
00:19:34
I can use my voice and get seen by
companies that I've only, or organizations
353
:
00:19:39
that I've only ever dreamed of, and
be invited to events at Grand Prix.
354
:
00:19:44
I can create meetups at Grand
Prix and bring girls together
355
:
00:19:50
through word of mouth, through
marketing, solely online, right?
356
:
00:19:55
I can do all these things.
357
:
00:19:59
F1 gave me confidence.
358
:
00:20:00
It empowered and embolden my voice.
359
:
00:20:05
Without F1, the trajectory, and I'm
so, so positive on this, is that
360
:
00:20:11
without F1 and being a fan girl of
this sport that I love so fucking
361
:
00:20:17
much, my business, Dare To Be Iconic,
would not be at the place it is today.
362
:
00:20:27
It would not, because when I was
starting Dare To Be Iconic in the very
363
:
00:20:32
early stages, right when it was just
a blog, right before the podcast came
364
:
00:20:36
out, I started posting on LinkedIn,
and at first I tried it from this
365
:
00:20:41
professional development angle.
366
:
00:20:42
I don't know why the fuck I
decided to do that, but I did.
367
:
00:20:46
And then it didn't work for three weeks.
368
:
00:20:48
And I said, okay, we need to change it up.
369
:
00:20:50
What do I wanna talk about?
370
:
00:20:51
And I said, I really wanna talk about F1,
but I'm not a marketing genius and I'm not
371
:
00:20:57
an engineer like how do I talk about F1?
372
:
00:21:00
Well, my superpower in life,
one of them is being a fan girl.
373
:
00:21:05
Another one is using my voice.
374
:
00:21:07
And another one is advocating for women.
375
:
00:21:10
Perfect.
376
:
00:21:10
I tied everything together and I wrote
my first post about Formula One, and
377
:
00:21:14
I think I wrote it about Lando Norris.
378
:
00:21:16
No, actually I wrote it about liveries
and then maybe two posts after that.
379
:
00:21:21
I wrote about Lando Norris and why
Lando Norris is my favorite driver,
380
:
00:21:25
and ever since then not only has
my personal branding on LinkedIn
381
:
00:21:31
exploded and you know, really expanded
my network, but it brought so much
382
:
00:21:36
exposure to my business, which allowed
the podcast to literally break records
383
:
00:21:44
and grow at this unprecedented rate.
384
:
00:21:49
because I started using my voice
and talking about F1, and the
385
:
00:21:52
more I spoke about F1, the more
I found my community and the more
386
:
00:21:56
opportunities opened up for me.
387
:
00:21:58
So honestly, I owe a lot of Dare to Be
Iconics Growth and Success, especially
388
:
00:22:05
in that first year going into that second
year to formula One and to the sport that
389
:
00:22:11
I love so much, and I can't believe that
I get to go to these sporting events and
390
:
00:22:19
advocate for women and talk about Dare To
Be Iconic and just meet so many amazing,
391
:
00:22:27
wonderful radiance icons in person.
392
:
00:22:32
And the reason I get to do
that is because of my business
393
:
00:22:36
where I had the courage to talk about
something that I loved, like it's just
394
:
00:22:40
so mind boggling, and it makes me really
sentimental to think of like, wow, like it
395
:
00:22:46
was so unpredictable, all of this growth.
396
:
00:22:48
It was so unprecedented, but I'm
so damn lucky and I'm so grateful
397
:
00:22:53
and I owe it to this sport.
398
:
00:22:56
I owe it to Formula One, or I
owe some of it to Formula One.
399
:
00:23:01
And that's just so cool.
400
:
00:23:03
So I'm really excited for this next
chapter and this next race, and to
401
:
00:23:08
see what it brings into my life and
the lessons that I'll learn from it,
402
:
00:23:13
and how I will take it as I, as I
continue to grow and become even more
403
:
00:23:19
iconic than I already am, and I can't
wait to share it with all of you.
404
:
00:23:23
I truly cannot wait.
405
:
00:23:24
I know I keep saying that this trip is
gonna be like so crazy off the rails,
406
:
00:23:29
like, ah, and like that's true because
there's a new energy to me now as I'm
407
:
00:23:34
in this new era of my life, as I'm
in the radiant reign era of my life.
408
:
00:23:39
But.
409
:
00:23:40
At the core, I know I'm gonna learn
something from every moment that happens,
410
:
00:23:46
and I truly cannot wait to see what it is.
411
:
00:23:50
And maybe it's learning how to have
fun and embracing the fun of life.
412
:
00:23:55
Maybe it's that, maybe it's learning
how to embrace the unpredictability.
413
:
00:24:00
Or maybe it's a combo of it, or maybe
it's something I didn't even mention,
414
:
00:24:04
and that's what I'm so excited for.
415
:
00:24:06
I learned so much from these experiences
and I'm so lucky and so fortunate that
416
:
00:24:11
not only do I get to experience them,
but I get to bring you guys along for
417
:
00:24:15
the ride, and then I get to come here and
spill the tea about it all and how we can
418
:
00:24:19
both apply these lessons to our lives.
419
:
00:24:23
This is just the coolest thing ever,
you guys, and I truly can't wait
420
:
00:24:26
for Vegas, so let's fucking go.
421
:
00:24:27
Okay, radiant icons.
422
:
00:24:29
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.
423
:
00:24:31
As you know, we are in our radiant
reign era and for me in this era, I have
424
:
00:24:36
been finding little things that make me
feel powerful, that make me feel sexy,
425
:
00:24:42
that make me feel unapologetically me.
426
:
00:24:45
And one of those is my
iconic signature scent.
427
:
00:24:48
I have crafted mine with oakcha.
428
:
00:24:51
I do sinful layered with that girl,
vanilla, and it is delectable.
429
:
00:24:56
It is sinful and it is
sexy if I say so myself.
430
:
00:25:01
Every spritz just feels
like confidence bottled up.
431
:
00:25:05
It is my reminder that I am evolving
for myself, not anyone's dusty ass sun.
432
:
00:25:12
And you can have that too, radiant icons.
433
:
00:25:14
Make sure to build your own fragrance.
434
:
00:25:17
Through Oakcha, use the discount
code linked in the show notes
435
:
00:25:21
below to save yourself some cash.
436
:
00:25:24
Because icons do not follow trends.
437
:
00:25:26
We set the standard.
438
:
00:25:28
