Success Gets Real When You Lead With Service with Chip Baker

Success sounds simple until you try to build it in real life, especially in a service-based business where progress can feel slow and personal. Chip Baker, host of The Success Chronicles, is a fourth-generation educator, speaker, coach, and author who has spent nearly a decade in deep conversation with people from every background. After 400+ interviews, he has a grounded take on what actually creates results: perspective, consistency, and a heart for service.

We dig into why success looks different depending on the season you're in, why nearly every meaningful win sits on the far side of struggle, and what it takes to build a premium service business that earns trust and keeps clients coming back.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why organic, unscripted conversation reveals more than a polished interview ever could
• How the definition of success shifts with your season of life and business
• Reframing the narrative: it's not winning and losing, it's winning and learning
• Actionable ways to stop limiting yourself and start believing "why not me"
• What to do when business growth feels painfully slow
• Getting comfortable being uncomfortable online and why visibility is non-negotiable
• Standing out through generosity and authenticity instead of gimmicks
• How habits become routines, routines become consistency, and consistency becomes trust
• Being transformational rather than transactional in your client experience
• Creating a premium client journey with clear systems that lead to referrals and long-term loyalty
• Leading by listening, noticing needs, and practicing everyday hospitality
• Doing the work even when you're scared

Welcome And Color Read

SPEAKER_01 0:00

So today I'm joined by Chip Baker, the host of The Success Chronicles. Chip is someone who has built his entire career around service, leadership, and helping people see what is possible for their lives. He is a fourth-generation educator, a longtime teacher and coach, a multiple-time best-selling author, a transformational speaker, life coach, podcaster, and the creator of the Success Chronicles. Through his podcast and YouTube channel, Chip interviews people from all walks of life and shares their stories to inspire, encourage, and motivate others. So what I love about Chip's work is that he doesn't just talk about success in a surface-level way. He looks at the heart behind it. He talks about growth, resilience, influence, service, and what it really means to make an impact. He has spent years highlighting other people's stories, wisdom, and lessons. And today I'm so excited to turn the conversation toward him and learn more about what success has taught him. So, Chip, thank you so much for being here and being on the Business of Color Analysis podcast.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

Yeah, of course. Thank you so much for having me. I consider an honor and a privilege to be here with you. I've been excited to get here.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Yes, thank you for drive doing this drive in this crazy weather today. And I did tell you before we started that I picked blue because I think you might be a winter for all of those listening. Um and I'm I'm just guessing, but I see when I look at your Instagram, you love to wear a lot of navy blue. You were telling me you love black and white, and it genuinely looks really good on you. So you have intuitively figured out your colors over the years.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

Thanks for that expert advice. I appreciate that. I'm doing something, I'm doing something right.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Yep, yep. And that's why if you're watching on YouTube, I chose the blue, blue lighting so we could highlight Chip's natural features.

SPEAKER_00 1:58

Oh, winter.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

Winter, yep. Okay. Yep. Yep.

Building The Success Chronicles

SPEAKER_01 2:03

So what is the Success Chronicles? Tell me a little bit about it and what inspired you to start it.

SPEAKER_00 2:09

So um on the Success Chronicles, like you said, I interview people from all walks of life and share their stories for positive inspiration and motivation. A few years back, I said I've been doing it for uh about nine and a half years, almost 10 years now.

SPEAKER_01 2:23

400 episodes. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

It's amazing. Yeah, over 400. And uh it's been really neat. Um I've just really just brought my passions together. Like I have a I love learning. Uh I love having great conversations with people to learn and share. I've been blessed to have people in my life that poured into me. And, you know, my love for technology, my love for, you know, music, hip hop, if you will.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Um yeah, the intro to your podcast is so good. That's all right. Oh, I love it.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

Yeah. And just just bringing all of those things together uh to make it. And so that's that's what it's about. Uh it's been a it's been an amazing journey, uh, truly far surpassed anything I ever thought it would be. Um like interviewing my favorite author and uh traveling to do episodes and just so many amazing people that I've come across uh along the journey, and and it's really exciting.

SPEAKER_01 3:22

I recently um met someone I cannot recall her name, but she is a personal stylist and she was speaking at a conference I was at, and I asked her afterwards, what do you think out of everything you've done in your career, what is has brought you like the most put like maybe success or has helped grow you and your business the most? And she said the podcast her podcast was the best.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

Oh, without a doubt. You know, and it's it's funny that you say that because really uh I've told people this before. Uh like I really am an introvert, right? Are you? Right. Like I like I'm I'm a really laid-back, low-key, uh quiet guy, and I'm okay with that, right? I've learned to be like that's who I am.

SPEAKER_02 4:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

But my passion allows me to come alive. And typically, like, I wouldn't just reach out to have a conversation with somebody. Like, hey, let's I just want to talk with you. Like, I don't know, like I I wouldn't normally do that, but the podcast gives me an opportunity uh to just have an organic conversation with people. And, you know, like we talked about before, for me, it's just an organic conversation, talking life and success. Like I don't want it to be like uptight and straight. Like, no, let's just get on and have a good time and have a smooth flow.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

Yeah. Well, I will say you have a very calm, grounding energy. Thank you. But also just talking with you, you know, like texting on on Instagram, like you're very positive and you also like have a lot of energy to you as well. You're very, very motivating. So you you have a great balance of the two. I love it. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

And it's and it's crazy. Like, like I've had I've had people that uh I've interviewed that are like great interviewers. Tell me, man, you're pretty good at this. Yes, you are. And so like, like, oh wow, okay. So it just it that inspires me to just continue to grow, to learn to be better at my craft and hone in my craft. Because I mean I really work at it, I'm intentional about it. And uh thanks for those kind words.

What 400 Interviews Teach Success

SPEAKER_01 5:25

And I know you've interviewed so many people, but what are of like some of the top things that you've seen like or or learned about success from interviewing so many people?

SPEAKER_00 5:36

Yeah, I think um everyone's definition of success has been different. All right. And and even like there's been some people that I've interviewed multiple times, and at different phases of their lives and their experiences, their definitions of success is different. And so, you know, just I just think it just depends on where you are, what experiences you're growing through at the moment, uh, and and and where you're trying to get your goals at the moment, at the current moment.

SPEAKER_01 6:08

Um and what traits do you successful people tend to have in common? I know you've interviewed so many people and you've probably seen a a few like commonalities there.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Aaron Ross Powell I think uh the the one major thing that sticks out to me is that uh they all have overcome some type of struggle. All right, like like none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. Um and none of us are immune from growing through tough challenges, if you will. And so what we have to do is um, you know, take the blessings from the lessons, learn from it, and then now when we are able to use that to help others, that's when you see that, okay, so those hardships and those trauma, the trauma that I've experienced, they weren't they weren't in vain. Right. They they were for a reason. And it's not just for me, like it didn't happen to me, it happened for me. Right? It's a perspective. And when we have that perspective, I think it lights us on fire and it and it excites us uh to do the things, to make a difference and continue to operate in our passion.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

Yeah. I I agree. I think sometimes people get stuck in kind of a victim mentality when they're going through tough times. And and sometimes that's what they need at the moment, but you've gotta kind of push through and see it to the other side and then realize it was a learning um experience. And I think when I was on your podcast, I talked a little bit about how um I think the it was the start of my 30s. We're I'm 39 now, but it was very hard for me because I realized a lot of the mistakes that I was or that were things, the negative things that were occurring in my my life, especially my relationships. I realized I was part of the problem. You know, I was the big problem. And so I had to do a lot of work on myself to completely change that. And at first, I would say in my late 20s and early 30s, I was kind of a victim. It was like, oh, it's situational, it's them. And then I realized this keeps happening over and over. And I'm sure, you know, and I think that's part of getting older is realizing that you have to, you know, change your your habits and your outlook and and you really start to grow and and learn from those experiences and those lessons. So Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

You know, we have to do the inner work, right? We have to look within to win. And and I believe that if you limit yourself, you limit yourself. You have to know that the possibilities are possible. Um and so it's really just a mindset shift. And so I believe, and you know, we've all heard this, you know, uh healed people, helped people.

SPEAKER_02 8:46

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

And we all have trauma or things in our life that we go through, and we have to really be intentional about doing the work to be better because and this has been on my heart. I'm glad it's it's amazing that you asked this, because this has been on my heart for a little bit now. Um if we don't do that, it affects generations to come in a bad way.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

Oh, absolutely. So most of the people listening to the podcast, like I've told you, are color analysts or image consultants. And I know our conversation today kind of spans to all walks of life, all industries.

Slow Growth And The Win Learn

SPEAKER_01 9:20

But for someone who's building a service from scratch, and especially someone who's a service provider, how do they stay encouraged when growth feels really slow? It can be really hard in the beginning.

SPEAKER_00 9:32

Well, I think I'm gonna give them a quote first and then I'll break it down a little bit. I think on the other side of our toughest challenges is our maximum growth. Let me say that again. On the other side of our toughest challenges, whether that be having struggles in business, whether that's personal growth, whether that's relationships, whether that's uh striving to grow your business, right? On the other side of those toughest challenges is our maximum growth. And so we have to know that going in. And so, like for me, like I'm looking for ways to fail every day because I know like I'm gonna be better. Yes, right? Like for me, growing through this tough challenge that I'm facing, okay, like what can I learn in this? Right? In this season that I'm in of toughness, like what can I learn in this season? And that helps push you through that to get to the other side because you learn so many things. And so it's not winning and losing, it's winning and learning.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Yeah. Yeah. I think if you want to grow personally, you should start a business. It will push you in ways that you've never, never been pushed. And I will say, because this is my second business, I used to own a wedding planning company. And I have taken all of the mistakes that I made in that first business and applied them to this second business. And I felt when I stopped that being a wedding planner, I was so bummed. I'm like, oh gosh, all this you know, experience wasted. But really, it just prepared me for this business. And I've been able to do so many more things the right way and from those learnings. So I think that's really how people need to look at it. Like you said, they need to push through to the other side. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 11:28

And really it's transferable skills.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

Aaron Powell Oh, absolutely. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

You can take all of those things and apply that to anything in your life.

SPEAKER_01 11:33

Aaron Powell Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:34

Oh, that works. Oh, yeah, that works, right? You can apply it to anything in our lives.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Aaron Powell Yeah, absolutely. And you know, you talked a little bit about mindset, and everyone talks about how important it is. And we all know it is, but it's easier said than done. Can you talk a little bit about some actionable steps listeners can take to improve their mindset?

SPEAKER_00 11:56

Oh, without a doubt. I think mindset is huge. And um, you know, just a little story. Um before I have glasses on now, and before I I got glasses, I saw things a certain way. And that was my per perspective, right? And then um as I got a little older, the doctor's like, hey, you need to get some glasses.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

No one likes hearing that. Yeah, no one likes it. It happens too. I wear glasses too, I just forgot them today.

SPEAKER_00 12:25

Yeah, so so I get the glasses and put the glasses on and oh I see things I see things a little different now. Like I can I can really read the fine print. Uh like uh trees really do have leaves. Like I can see the leaves now, right? And so it's it's a shift in your perspective. It it has to be a shift in our perspective, and I break mindset down to limits possibilities and opportunities. Uh uh like I said earlier, you know, if you limit yourself, you limit yourself. And so we have to make sure that we don't limit ourselves. Then we also need to know that the possibilities are possible. Uh whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever mistakes you may have made, it's possible for you to achieve greatness as well.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

And so you have to believe it and then put the work in and go achieve it.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Yes. I always look at it as when I see that someone else has done it, I'm like, why not me? Well. I can do that too.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

Facts.

SPEAKER_01 13:26

I can do that too. And I will add, because this has been really helpful the last few weeks, I found on Spotify, it's called Shift to Abundance. It's a playlist. I think that's actually the the artist, it's called Shift to Abundance. And it's, I think it's an AI um musician, actually, but it's very positive, but it's also very like modern. Like they'll have some reggae type songs, some more pop songs. I love it. And I listen to that all the time now. And I genuinely feel like that has made me much more positive just by listening, switching up the music that I listen to. I think it's helped a lot.

SPEAKER_00 14:00

Right. And all of those habits, all of those things make a big difference.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Oh, I I think they compound. Yeah. 100%.

Getting Visible Without Losing Yourself

SPEAKER_01 14:09

Um so a lot of color analysts and image consultants are very talented, but they struggle to put themselves out there. I see this all the time, and I focus so much when I'm working with other color analysts on their marketing and branding and social media and just putting themselves out there because no one can find them if they're not out there in some capacity. So, what advice would you give to someone who is afraid to be visible?

SPEAKER_00 14:36

Well, I think, you know, where I'm from, I've heard this said many times: close mouths don't get fed.

SPEAKER_02 14:43

Yes. Right. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 14:44

And so we have to put ourselves out there. And, you know, for some of us, that's that's really uncomfortable, right? And we have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable if we're striving to grow and do uh bigger and better things. And so um, you know, it's important for us to tap into that space and just put ourselves out there uh and not just think, you know, why me? Lil ol me. Why not you?

SPEAKER_02 15:11

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

All right, like why not if it's your passion, it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about what you love, you love it. So you do it. Yes. And so, you know, prime example, like I with what I do, like I'm I'm involved in lots of different things, and it's it's my passion. All right. I mean, there's people around me that love me and care for me and support me, but like they just don't love some of the things that I do. And it's nothing wrong with that. They still love me and support me, but you know, some people may not want to drive an interview on a podcast, you know. But I love that. And so, man, if you love what you do, love it to the max, give your all to it, because you won't have any regrets from that when you do that.

SPEAKER_01 15:57

Yeah, absolutely. And I tell people like, make social media fun. For those that are scared to do it, I'm like, what do you find fun? What do you find interesting? For me, it's I I love makeup. And so I'm like, talk about makeup, talk about what you enjoy, just talk about what you're doing in your business day to day and show people like whatever you're excited about, talk about that online.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Or like while you're doing your makeup, you can talk about the podcast that you're gonna do later in the day. Oh, wait. That happened today. You did that today.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

Yep. Yep. Yeah. I mix my business and also putting on my makeup because I love those two things.

SPEAKER_02 16:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

So I have noticed that color analysis is getting more and more crowded. Um so I'm really curious what your thoughts are on what you think makes someone memorable in a crowded industry.

SPEAKER_00 16:52

That's a that's a really good question. I think the first word that comes up for me is generosity. You know, be generous. Um, you can tell like people that are looking to gain something versus people that are looking to just be of service and help.

SPEAKER_02 17:09

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

And there's a difference, right? Uh and so I think generosity is the first thing, and then the next thing that comes up for me is authenticity. You know, you can tell just good-hearted people, genuine people that's in the business, and and really that's a rare trait to come around good people that in business. Yes. That's not cutthroat, you know, that you can trust and like look out for one another. Because really at the end of the day, uh we all have value. We all individually add value, but when we can come together, the value that we have, it multiplies. And there's very few people that that think like that. But really, like I'm thinking about like all of the things that I've been blessed and fortunate to achieve, uh, and it's not all been chip.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Yeah. Yeah. I think those small steps that you take every day, they really add up and compound. And you can just by doing some small things regularly, really like push yourself forward so much in in business. And I I do think like I see that the color analysts and image consultants that really want to help others and look at it from that lens, those are the ones that are the most successful.

Habits That Build Online Trust

SPEAKER_01 18:26

For sure. So how can service-based business owners build trust online?

SPEAKER_00 18:32

I think for me it's a flow. I think you have to look at your habits first. Right. Make sure you have great habits, and those habits build routines. Right. And so, you know, it sets you up to have great ret routines, and those routines give you consistency. And when you have consistency, people know that they can trust you because you are consistent. The bigger thing, like, yes, it's cool that people trust you and they know what they're gonna get from you, but but the biggest thing is that you learn to trust yourself.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

Oh, yes. Oh, I think that's important.

SPEAKER_00 19:07

Yeah, you and you prove it to yourself that you can do it, which ultimately starts that cycle all over again, which forces you to hey, look at your habits and your routines, which helps you with your consistency, and then now you build more trust. And it just continues to compound and grow.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

Yeah. I I'll say that the people I trust the most online when just bringing it back to social media, they show up almost every day in some capacity, and so many of them have been for years. I recall a business coach I hired. This was when I was a wedding planner, so it's been a few years, but she had been showing up consistently every single day for 10 years, and I had been following her journey and watching her grow, and also how she improved her business skills and her marketing, and I realized that's who I want to work with. She's been showing up every single day. I know exactly who she is and what it will be like to work with her. So I think people underestimate how important it is just to show up regularly, every single week, every month, every year.

SPEAKER_00 20:10

So true.

SPEAKER_01 20:12

So you talk a lot about influence, and I'm really curious what does real influence mean to you?

SPEAKER_00 20:20

To me, influence is making a positive difference. And I believe that when you strive to make the effort and you're intentional about it, about just making a positive difference, smiling, speaking to people, opening the door, um, you know, being of service, understanding that it's bigger than you, it's not about you. Right? When you intentionally do those things, I I believe that it's infectious and contagious, and it rubs off on the people and the atmospheres and environments around you.

unknown 20:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:59

And I've heard you on um I was listening to Celeste Moore's podcast earlier today, and you were talking about how, you know, there are relationships that you built with students and people just in general decades ago, and now they're they're grown adults. And I think you mentioned one someone you met met in they were in fifth grade. And now he helped your son get his first job. And I listened to the story about um it was your, I think it was your your grandmother. No. Some it was about like your great they had been a huge influence on your great grandmother had been a huge influence on them. And so you've watched generations of educators come before you be influential and helpful and come from a place of service and how that served them decades into the future and future generations.

SPEAKER_00 21:48

Yeah, first off, thank you so much for doing the research and listening to that. Uh I'm glad it didn't bore you. No, not at all. No, but but you're you're right. Uh, in anything we do, you know, color brand. Branding, business, whatever it is you do, when you operate from a space of service, of helping others, it's not just beneficial in the moment. I think that that's the thing that we sometimes we overlook. We overlook the fact that like by by me showing up for you, giving you everything I got in this moment, uh, people are gonna watch this and listen to this, just like you did with Celeste, you know, on on her show. And so, you know, my goal, my hope is that, you know, your your people in your community will be able to watch this and it'll help them, and then they will be better for their families and the people in their business and and make their day and you know, and prime a story, I have a story on that, a

Transformational Service That Stands Out

SPEAKER_00 22:50

quick story. Just, you know, when you look you want to be uh transformational and not transactional. Right. And so, like a couple stories. So I went to a store the other day, I got some gum. The guy at the store never really looked at me, he scanned it, never really paid attention. I paid with the chip and walked out. There was really no eye contact conversation, you know, uh that was a transaction.

SPEAKER_01 23:15

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

Right, but then later in the day I go to Chick-fil-A.

SPEAKER_01 23:19

They're always so friendly there.

SPEAKER_00 23:21

Right. I hadn't even said anything. You already said it. Yeah. So, you know, I get to the window, the where I order, and the you know, young lady's there and you know, greets me with a smile and okay, you know, and asks my name, takes my order, and I say thank you, and she says, My pleasure, right? And so I go to the next person to check, check. You know, nice to see you, Mr. Chip. You know, your order is this, you know, help you have a good day. And I say thank you, and they say, My pleasure. So just from those two people, like I'm already, like, man, this is all right. And then of, you know, of course, you know, we know it's great food. But, you know, I get to the window, my food is ready, and um, you know, the same guy repeats the order and you know, thank you, and I say thank you. He says, uh, you know, my pleasure, and have a even through a have a blessed day in there, right? And so now when I leave that, I'm transformed. Right now I can go and and and deliver that to the people that I'm blessed and fortunate to be around because of that experience. And that's how we have to operate on a day-to-day basis in our business, in our life, with our families, in anything we do, we want it to be transformational and not transactional.

SPEAKER_01 24:37

Yeah. I think, okay, so you touched on so many things that made me think of so many people that are listening that have a studio potentially in their home or they rent a studio for color analysis or image consulting. And so much of being a premium service provider and being able to charge more is first anticipating their needs, being excited for them to come show show up, like sh greeting them, like so happy to see them, like they are your one and only client and they're your favorite client. They are a VIP. And whether it's, you know, having a drink set out for them already before their color analysis or and just anticipating what they need and letting them know. Also, one thing you said was the communication. So he repeated the order back to you. So being really clear about, you know, what is going to happen during their service. And I so I send them instructions in advance at the beginning of the service. I tell them exactly how the two-hour session is going to go. And then I also send them an email afterwards with all of the follow-up things they need. And so I think you know, even taking inspiration from somewhere like Chick-fil-A can really show you how to be a premium and top service provider in your industry.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

Aaron Powell But you know, like as I heard you say that, you know what really helps? I think this gym, I hope, will help your listeners, your viewers is the importance of being intentional about having systems in place.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

Yes. Absolutely. Yeah, I think it's so important that you have a system in place. Like I teach people to use, you know, a Calendly or acuity, and you know, really think through the entire client journey so that it's seamless from the beginning to end. Yes, it makes a huge difference. And if you're listening to this and you want more referrals in your business, whether you do color or something else, that is the way, is being really clear and then also in your communication and then also having great hospitality.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

For sure.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

Yeah. So tell me a little bit about what it means to you to serve people as a leader and as a business owner.

SPEAKER_00 26:52

Serving is the key that opens the door.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Serving is the key that opens the door to exponential impact in our in our world. And and I think we start that by being good listeners first. All right, you know, um I was raised uh as a kid by a strict disciplinarian mother. And uh, you know, sometimes she would say, Hey, you got two ears and one mouth. You need to you need to listen twice as much as you talk, boy. You know. And so it's important uh that we just like listen, right? And it allows us to when we listen and we we pay attention, it heightens our sense of awareness, if you will. And what what happens when we have a heightened sense of awareness, it allows us to be able to see the needs of our clients and our people.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 27:57

Which allows us to meet the needs of our people. And that's where you are invaluable because you're intentional about listening, you're intentional about being aware, you're intentional about seeing, like, okay, what are the needs? And then you are intentional about, okay, let's meet those needs. Yeah. And business owners that do that, that's how you get more business.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Yes. Something I learned at a training recently with my friend Renee Color. I was uh recently in Scottsdale and she did some color analysis trainings. And so she, her background is that she is a hairdresser, and she said the very first thing that she does when she starts a session is she sits down in front of them and faces them and says, What do you want to get out of your color analysis session today? Because everyone's purpose for being there is different. Some people want, you know, makeup advice. Some people don't wear any makeup. Other people want to figure out their hair color, other people will tell me my hair color is non-negotiable. I don't care what you say, I'm not changing it. And so I'm able to tailor this session to them. And that is something really valuable I learned that I've been able to take into all of my sessions. It's just something as simple as listening can make a huge difference.

SPEAKER_00 29:17

And now you're not wasting your time.

SPEAKER_01 29:20

Yep, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

Like our time is valuable. Like time is the only, it's a precious commodity. We can't get it back. Like this moment of this day, we will we will never experience this again ever. I mean, we can get money and do all of those things, but time like we we we can't get it back. So it's important for us to be in the moments because I believe magic moments make magic memories.

SPEAKER_01 29:45

Oh I love that.

SPEAKER_00 29:48

Magic moments make magic memories, and so it's important for us to be in the moments that we have and create those those those magic moments.

SPEAKER_01 29:55

Yeah.

And I do it, I always tell myself, do it scared, do it scared. Because it'll after, you know, after you do it a few times, it'll just be natural and any old thing.
