00:01:00,048 --> 00:01:03,588 why this podcast even exists and why we think you should listen to it. 6 00:01:04,668 --> 00:01:05,178 Hi Brandy. 7 00:01:05,178 --> 00:01:05,238 Hi. 8 00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:06,693 Brandi Healy: Hi Kyle. 9 00:01:06,698 --> 00:01:07,143 How are you? 10 00:01:07,743 --> 00:01:09,173 Kyle Wood: Good, excited. 11 00:01:09,423 --> 00:01:11,403 So, um, we're just talking about our accents. 12 00:01:11,403 --> 00:01:13,653 So we've got two, two accents here. 13 00:01:13,833 --> 00:01:17,043 There's one accent is my accent, which is no accent, 14 00:01:18,483 --> 00:01:21,933 Brandi Healy: and the other accent is my accent, which is also no accent. 15 00:01:21,933 --> 00:01:22,113 Yeah. 16 00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:26,493 So depending, depending on where you're coming from, either I have 17 00:01:26,583 --> 00:01:28,503 the accent or Kyle has the accent. 18 00:01:28,833 --> 00:01:32,373 Kyle Wood: I'm, I'm pretty aware of my accent though, like I can hear it and 19 00:01:32,378 --> 00:01:33,843 I don't know if that's just growing up. 20 00:01:34,483 --> 00:01:39,618 In Australia where we had like, so much American television, like everything 21 00:01:39,618 --> 00:01:42,918 we watched, especially my generation on TV was American pretty much. 22 00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:44,358 So I, I don't know. 23 00:01:44,478 --> 00:01:47,898 Can you, can you hear like your accent when you speak? 24 00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:52,658 Brandi Healy: I think I hear it more when I speak to other people from, whether 25 00:01:52,658 --> 00:01:58,038 it's other parts of the country or you know, obviously from other countries. 26 00:01:58,098 --> 00:02:02,118 I think I hear it more in contrast than I do, you know? 27 00:02:02,253 --> 00:02:05,463 And I'm speaking to, you know, my family and friends. 28 00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:06,003 Yeah. 29 00:02:06,843 --> 00:02:10,443 But certainly I hear it when you, uh, repeat it back to me. 30 00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:13,263 It is, it is loud and clear. 31 00:02:15,873 --> 00:02:20,313 Kyle Wood: Just channel my, um, my grandpa who, uh, was from Pittsburgh 32 00:02:20,318 --> 00:02:26,373 originally, um, um, and all of his funny sayings like, Lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy. 33 00:02:28,143 --> 00:02:28,853 That's pretty good. 34 00:02:29,123 --> 00:02:29,413 Yeah. 35 00:02:32,283 --> 00:02:33,603 Uh, okay. 36

think like the OC and that's, that's her life. 49 00:03:11,913 --> 00:03:13,123 Brandi Healy: Exactly like that. 50 00:03:15,663 --> 00:03:18,303 Kyle Wood: And that's probably showing my how old I am as 51 00:03:18,303 --> 00:03:19,863 well, if I talk about the oc. 52 00:03:19,993 --> 00:03:20,283 Yeah. 53 00:03:20,283 --> 00:03:20,853 That is 54 00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:22,983 Brandi Healy: also, that is also my era. 55 00:03:23,043 --> 00:03:28,713 Um, fun fact about the oc you know, my, my background, which we'll talk 56 00:03:28,713 --> 00:03:30,183 about at another point in time. 57 00:03:30,558 --> 00:03:32,508 Is in the fashion industry. 58 00:03:32,513 --> 00:03:37,698 And one of the accounts that I had when I worked at a store on Melrose during 59 00:03:37,698 --> 00:03:40,388 that era was the stylist for the old oc. 60 00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:44,688 So all the jeans that you would see Misha Barton wear, I sold to them. 61 00:03:44,978 --> 00:03:45,268 What 62 00:03:45,808 --> 00:03:46,828 Kyle Wood: you friends? 63 00:03:47,538 --> 00:03:51,258 Well, I mean true story sas, but still like that, that would've 64 00:03:51,258 --> 00:03:52,938 like sold a lot of jeans. 65 00:03:53,488 --> 00:03:53,908 It did. 66 00:03:55,028 --> 00:03:57,438 I did actually have down here that you worked in. 67 00:03:57,978 --> 00:03:59,628 The retail fashion industry. 68 00:03:59,868 --> 00:03:59,988 I did. 69 00:04:00,228 --> 00:04:06,198 Um, and that's a good, good point cuz it nearly like you, you got seriously 70 00:04:06,198 --> 00:04:10,128 burned out on the high constant. 71 00:04:11,148 --> 00:04:11,868 I can imagine. 72 00:04:11,868 --> 00:04:13,008 Like everything's urgent. 73 00:04:13,128 --> 00:04:16,669 You know, you got that, that square when you look at businesses and it's like 74 00:04:17,958 --> 00:04:23,028 urgent, important, urgent, not important, you know, uh, not urgent, not important. 75 00:04:23,298 --> 00:04:25,878 And then it's like, Not urgent important. 76 00:04:25,968 --> 00:04:29,418 And the thing is, we never, like in that last square, we never spent enough time. 77 00:04:29,748 --> 00:04:32,758 But I can imagine in the vacuum industry, in the, in the 78 00:04:32,758 --> 00:04:35,878 career that I All urgent, yes. 79 00:04:36,058 --> 00:04:40,068 Brandi Healy: In the career that I spent almost two decades in, we spent the 80 00:04:40,068 --> 00:04:43,308 majority of time in that single quadrant. 81 00:04:43,458 --> 00:04:43,908 Absolutely. 82 00:04:45,168 --> 00:04:45,918 Kyle Wood: That's crazy. 83 00:04:47,238 --> 00:04:50,628 So I mean you, you did nearly two decades and then. 84 00:04:51,513 --> 00:04:55,623 You sort of had enough and you took some time off and discovered 85 00:04:56,043 --> 00:05:05,313 yoga, um, and ended up doing a 200 hour yoga te teacher training. 86 00:05:05,318 --> 00:05:06,033 Teacher training. 87 00:05:06,033 --> 00:05:06,193 Mm-hmm. 88 00:05:06,273 --> 00:05:07,233 That's a correct way of saying it. 89 00:05:07,743 --> 00:05:08,043 Yes. 90 00:05:08,263 --> 00:05:08,553 Yeah. 91 00:05:08,893 --> 00:05:12,333 And, and now you are a yoga instructor. 92 00:05:12,903 --> 00:05:14,463 Um, you do that. 93 00:05:15,138 --> 00:05:16,833 You're a part-time hustler. 94 00:05:16,893 --> 00:05:21,453 Have your, you're part-time hustle as a yoga instructor and a human design 95 00:05:21,453 --> 00:05:25,293 guide, which is, you know, part of where this podcast comes from, that 96 00:05:25,293 --> 00:05:31,893 we both do human design stuff and you still work in retail as well. 97 00:05:31,893 --> 00:05:36,843 So you are in that position of juggling these, these two worlds of 98 00:05:36,843 --> 00:05:39,213 like, I've got a job, full-time job. 99 00:05:39,663 --> 00:05:41,853 Uh, but there's also other stuff that. 100 00:05:42,753 --> 00:05:45,813 Really lights my heart up and I want to work on that too. 101 00:05:48,303 --> 00:05:50,463 You are a huge baseball fan. 102 00:05:51,273 --> 00:05:51,573 It's true. 103 00:05:52,053 --> 00:05:54,083 The Dodgers I your team. 104 00:05:54,083 --> 00:05:54,683 I love my Dodgers. 105 00:05:55,043 --> 00:05:55,883 I love my Dodgers. 106 00:05:56,403 --> 00:06:01,953 There are so many baseball teams that as an Australian, I could not tell you 107 00:06:02,553 --> 00:06:06,683 anything when I found out there's like major leagues and then there's like, 108 00:06:08,208 --> 00:06:12,138 Like minors, but in there's like, there's different a's is that right as well? 109 00:06:12,143 --> 00:06:12,708 There's like, 110 00:06:13,308 --> 00:06:13,548 Brandi Healy: yes. 111 00:06:13,548 --> 00:06:16,948 So there's double a aa, triple A single A. 112 00:06:17,298 --> 00:06:17,588 Yeah. 113 00:06:19,058 --> 00:06:19,348 Kyle Wood: Yeah. 114 00:06:19,368 --> 00:06:24,588 So a, another friend's husband, uh, was very briefly in the major 115 00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:29,448 league, so he was explaining to me like the lifestyle of, of someone who 116 00:06:29,448 --> 00:06:30,648 wants to become a baseball player. 117 00:06:30,648 --> 00:06:32,598 And it's, I mean, I'm getting sidetracked here, but. 118 00:06:33,108 --> 00:06:37,098 It's, um, pretty incredible, like the stuff they have to go through. 119 00:06:37,788 --> 00:06:37,998 Brandi Healy: Yeah. 120 00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:43,278 You know, the baseball season is 162 gameses, so, you know, and you think 121 00:06:43,278 --> 00:06:47,568 about it as a professional athlete, like the endurance that it takes for that. 122 00:06:47,568 --> 00:06:52,098 And you know, here in the states, one of, uh, a really popular pitcher that 123 00:06:52,398 --> 00:06:54,798 the Oakland A have is from Australia. 124 00:06:54,858 --> 00:06:55,458 Liam? 125 00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:56,328 Yeah. 126 00:06:56,328 --> 00:06:56,688 Okay. 127 00:06:56,693 --> 00:06:56,858 Awesome. 128 00:06:57,108 --> 00:06:59,958 Liam Hendrix, they call him the 129 00:07:02,403 --> 00:07:02,823 Kyle Wood: Yeah. 130 00:07:02,823 --> 00:07:04,813 Not a lot of sports play, but the 131 00:07:04,813 --> 00:07:05,213 Brandi Healy: slider. 132 00:07:05,273 --> 00:07:05,933 The slider, 133 00:07:08,713 --> 00:07:09,413 Kyle Wood: the slider, 134 00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:10,383 Brandi Healy: the slide. 135 00:07:10,473 --> 00:07:10,973 There you go. 136 00:07:10,993 --> 00:07:11,533 Kyle Wood: That's it. 137 00:07:12,353 --> 00:07:13,203 Oh, you gums. 138 00:07:13,203 --> 00:07:13,953 He's a slider. 139 00:07:14,493 --> 00:07:15,423 Uh, yeah. 140 00:07:16,203 --> 00:07:17,853 Not, yeah, not many sports are like that. 141 00:07:17,853 --> 00:07:18,653 Year round zone. 142 00:07:18,933 --> 00:07:24,753 I've been watching this, um, doco and uh, series on Apple TV plus called 143 00:07:24,753 --> 00:07:26,973 Make or Break, which is about surfers. 144 00:07:27,843 --> 00:07:32,283 And again, like their pro season pretty much runs like the whole 145 00:07:32,283 --> 00:07:34,263 year and then it just starts again. 146 00:07:34,323 --> 00:07:35,613 So like huge commitment. 147 00:07:35,613 --> 00:07:38,313 Unlike other sports where you'll pay like three or four months and 148 00:07:38,318 --> 00:07:39,483 then you've got an off season. 149 00:07:39,783 --> 00:07:40,053 Mm-hmm. 150 00:07:40,683 --> 00:07:45,443 These people are having to travel around the world as well to chase 151 00:07:45,723 --> 00:07:47,283 the summer often on the, yeah. 152 00:07:47,283 --> 00:07:52,773 To go to the different competitions often, you know, off their own expenses. 153 00:07:53,493 --> 00:07:58,488 Uh, And you know, there might, there might be a couple of comps in one country, 154 00:07:58,758 --> 00:08:00,768 but they'll be like a month apart. 155 00:08:00,768 --> 00:08:03,378 So it's like, you know, do you, do you then go home and deal with 156 00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:04,908 all the jet lag and stuff again? 157 00:08:05,118 --> 00:08:06,348 Or do you stay in the country? 158 00:08:07,548 --> 00:08:10,038 Uh, and it seems like, oh yeah, what a wonderful lifestyle. 159 00:08:10,038 --> 00:08:13,158 But you can imagine like having a family and stuff like that. 160 00:08:13,158 --> 00:08:15,348 Like it'd be hard work. 161 00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:17,958 Uh, anyway, got sidetracked again. 162 00:08:18,378 --> 00:08:20,018 Uh, the other thing I, that's one 163 00:08:20,018 --> 00:08:22,488 Brandi Healy: thing that, yeah, one thing you'll realize about us is we can 164 00:08:22,488 --> 00:08:25,878 go on a tangent about, so bear with us. 165 00:08:26,798 --> 00:08:27,338 Kyle Wood: That's good. 166 00:08:27,828 --> 00:08:28,218 That's good. 167 00:08:29,298 --> 00:08:33,768 I feel like when I listen to podcasts, I mean, as long as it's like not too far off 168 00:08:33,768 --> 00:08:37,188 the track, I, you know, I enjoy, that's why I listen to the podcast cause I wanted 169 00:08:37,188 --> 00:08:39,588 to like know about the people as well. 170 00:08:40,593 --> 00:08:41,583 And what they're interested in. 171 00:08:42,303 --> 00:08:46,383 Uh, so the other thing I, I, I wrote down about you just because it's unique 172 00:08:46,953 --> 00:08:53,283 to me, is your, like Mexican American heritage, um, that you spoke Spanish 173 00:08:53,288 --> 00:08:58,173 before you spoke English, which, um, it's

00:09:43,503 --> 00:09:45,993 Um, I do, and I do really mix. 197 00:09:46,323 --> 00:09:48,033 I mean, it's like Mexican American food. 198 00:09:48,033 --> 00:09:49,413 I'm sure it's not Mexican. 199 00:09:50,688 --> 00:09:52,848 Food in its pure, pure state. 200 00:09:53,388 --> 00:09:57,318 Although I, I watched a through Daco where they like went to the 201 00:09:57,318 --> 00:10:03,798 markets in Mexico City and they were looking at all of the different, how 202 00:10:03,798 --> 00:10:06,288 different cultures have influenced. 203 00:10:06,828 --> 00:10:09,618 Um, Mexican food, so, yep. 204 00:10:09,888 --> 00:10:10,038 Cause 205 00:10:10,038 --> 00:10:13,308 Brandi Healy: everybody tried to colonize them different, so there's a lot different 206 00:10:13,308 --> 00:10:14,298 Kyle Wood: meats and things. 207 00:10:14,838 --> 00:10:15,048 Brandi Healy: Yep. 208 00:10:15,078 --> 00:10:17,538 A lot of Spanish influence, a lot of French influence. 209 00:10:18,048 --> 00:10:20,988 Uh, you see it in the architecture in Mexico City as well. 210 00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:24,418 And you know, in terms of the food, it really depends on what region 211 00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:29,328 of the country that you're from that really distinguishes the food. 212 00:10:29,328 --> 00:10:34,128 But, Uh, my family's from and pretty much anytime I tell people that's where 213 00:10:34,128 --> 00:10:36,738 my family's from, if they know Mexico, the first thing that comes out of their 214 00:10:36,738 --> 00:10:42,978 mouth, they're like, Ugh, the food on this work were invented, you know? 215 00:10:42,978 --> 00:10:43,988 Yes, exactly. 216 00:10:44,328 --> 00:10:45,108 Exactly. 217 00:10:45,108 --> 00:10:46,188 And enough said, right 218 00:10:46,193 --> 00:10:50,148 Kyle Wood: enough that I've had canita and I do have made them like, I mean, 219 00:10:52,668 --> 00:10:56,538 probably not the real thing, but I've made a version of them at home and yeah. 220 00:10:56,628 --> 00:10:57,108 Delicious. 221 00:10:57,108 --> 00:10:57,408 Love it. 222 00:10:58,668 --> 00:11:01,203 Um, Amazing. 223 00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:01,503 All right. 224 00:11:01,503 --> 00:11:02,163 So that's what I hate. 225 00:11:02,163 --> 00:11:03,603 Did I miss anything on you? 226 00:11:03,873 --> 00:11:04,353 I mean, there's 227 00:11:04,353 --> 00:11:06,003 Brandi Healy: plenty, but you know, we've got time here. 228 00:11:06,123 --> 00:11:06,663 We've got time. 229 00:11:06,843 --> 00:11:08,673 More episodes up, up to come. 230 00:11:08,673 --> 00:11:09,423 But thank you. 231 00:11:09,453 --> 00:11:12,993 That was kind of fun to, to get that little, little rundown. 232 00:11:13,623 --> 00:11:15,213 Um, so I'll introduce you now. 233 00:11:15,573 --> 00:11:22,863 This is my co-host, Kyle Wood, and Kyle lives with his wife 234 00:11:22,863 --> 00:11:24,603 and two little girls that are. 235 00:11:25,203 --> 00:11:28,503 At this time, at this point in time, four and one years old. 236 00:11:28,503 --> 00:11:29,763 So yeah, very little. 237 00:11:29,763 --> 00:11:33,333 So we're, you know, in different phases of our, our parenting journey here. 238 00:11:33,543 --> 00:11:36,033 But what's interesting, I think we've both been with our partners 239 00:11:36,033 --> 00:11:37,563 around the same amount of time. 240 00:11:39,123 --> 00:11:39,783 Kyle Wood: Yeah. 241 00:11:40,413 --> 00:11:40,563 Yeah. 242 00:11:40,563 --> 00:11:43,714 Cause what, uh, 13 years at this time. 243 00:11:43,719 --> 00:11:43,883 Yeah. 244 00:11:44,053 --> 00:11:45,513 Since 2009. 245 00:11:46,413 --> 00:11:46,593 Yep. 246 00:11:46,593 --> 00:11:51,423 Brandi Healy: So I think we started dating in 2007. 247 00:11:52,838 --> 00:11:53,448 So, yep. 248 00:11:53,448 --> 00:11:54,048 Pretty close. 249 00:11:54,078 --> 00:11:54,738 Pretty close. 250 00:11:54,828 --> 00:11:59,628 So, you know, pretty long relationships and then, you know, at different kind 251 00:11:59,628 --> 00:12:01,578 of phases, Kyle's got the littles. 252 00:12:01,578 --> 00:12:04,878 And in our house we're heading into, into tween territory. 253 00:12:05,268 --> 00:12:05,508 Yeah. 254 00:12:05,538 --> 00:12:07,788 Um, tween and teen territory. 255 00:12:08,118 --> 00:12:13,608 But, um, you know, Kyle is an online entrepreneur and business coach for 256 00:12:13,613 --> 00:12:20,448 fitness professionals, and he was an early adopter of the online business. 257 00:12:20,478 --> 00:12:22,758 So even business now for what, 11 years? 258 00:12:25,878 --> 00:12:28,788 Kyle Wood: Uh, all I started dabbling in that, that same year. 259 00:12:28,938 --> 00:12:29,658 2009. 260 00:12:29,688 --> 00:12:30,078 Wait, no. 261 00:12:30,078 --> 00:12:33,588 Yeah, so it was 2008 is how long I've been with my wife. 262 00:12:34,323 --> 00:12:37,233 Um, yeah, so 2009 was when I started Yeah. 263 00:12:37,233 --> 00:12:38,703 Dabbling with the online stuff. 264 00:12:39,093 --> 00:12:42,753 And I remember at the time being like, oh, I'm late to the party on this. 265 00:12:44,343 --> 00:12:50,163 Had no idea, you know, how it would go to now, like the sort of creator economy. 266 00:12:50,163 --> 00:12:56,433 They talk about where, where everyone is creating content all the time, and 267 00:12:56,433 --> 00:12:57,603 it's just like a normal part of life. 268 00:12:59,733 --> 00:13:04,863 Brandi Healy: And so, you know, similar to my story, you were in kind of a high 269 00:13:04,863 --> 00:13:10,263 pressure corporate environment that, you know, maybe didn't really suit 270 00:13:10,323 --> 00:13:13,263 you in this entrepreneurial lifestyle. 271 00:13:13,263 --> 00:13:18,603 Seemed much more appealing, uh, in contrast to kind of the 272 00:13:18,603 --> 00:13:21,603 environment that you were in, kind of in the tech world, right? 273 00:13:22,683 --> 00:13:27,333 Kyle Wood: Yeah, I had a, a taste of it, so I was in engineering and 274 00:13:27,423 --> 00:13:31,953 I like to say I just pretty much, I just fast forwarded my midlife crisis. 275 00:13:31,953 --> 00:13:33,723 I didn't have my midlife crisis at 40. 276 00:13:34,173 --> 00:13:35,553 I had it at 21. 277 00:13:36,318 --> 00:13:40,233 Uh, and pretty much went through this like existential crisis then. 278 00:13:41,133 --> 00:13:46,563 And so, uh, sort of started looking for another way to, to 279 00:13:46,563 --> 00:13:48,393 live life and do things then. 280 00:13:50,298 --> 00:13:51,078 Brandi Healy: Which is awesome. 281 00:13:51,078 --> 00:13:54,558 So, you know, it's interesting because just like in kind of our 282 00:13:54,558 --> 00:13:58,278 parenting journeys, we're kind of in in reverse roles in terms of our 283 00:13:58,578 --> 00:14:00,468 entrepreneurialship journeys as well. 284 00:14:00,498 --> 00:14:00,588 Mm-hmm. 285 00:14:00,833 --> 00:14:07,008 So Kyle is like the season online business vet and kind of transitioning 286 00:14:07,008 --> 00:14:10,968 a bit and adding, adding to his current business by now, starting to 287 00:14:11,088 --> 00:14:16,218 do business coaching one-to-one and small, smaller groups for business 288 00:14:16,218 --> 00:14:17,808 professionals, really helping them. 289 00:14:18,768 --> 00:14:24,108 Use their human design in their business in, in the same way that he has found 290 00:14:24,108 --> 00:14:26,268 it to work for him, which is awesome. 291 00:14:26,748 --> 00:14:31,218 Yeah, and you know, I'm kind of at the, the baby stage of, of my 292 00:14:31,218 --> 00:14:36,068 entrepreneurial journey, so it's nice to be able to kind of counterbalance 293 00:14:36,068 --> 00:14:37,188 each other in these different. 294 00:14:38,463 --> 00:14:41,103 Parts of our lives together here, which is super fun. 295 00:14:41,103 --> 00:14:41,163 Yeah. 296 00:14:42,333 --> 00:14:47,013 Um, another fun fact about you that you just told me earlier before we started 297 00:14:47,013 --> 00:14:51,453 recording and I did not know this, is that you're a serial podcaster and 298 00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:55,053 this is your four and a halfs podcast. 299 00:14:58,673 --> 00:14:58,893 Kyle Wood: Yes. 300 00:14:59,643 --> 00:14:59,933 Yeah. 301 00:15:00,073 --> 00:15:01,743 Brandi Healy: Yes, it's my first. 302 00:15:01,743 --> 00:15:06,213 So again, happy to be with somebody that knows the ropes in this department. 303 00:15:07,218 --> 00:15:10,818 So, you know, if you look up Kyle Wood, you might find a couple other ones. 304 00:15:10,823 --> 00:15:13,158 But Well Designed is the one that you wanna listen to. 305 00:15:13,698 --> 00:15:14,058 Kyle Wood: That's right. 306 00:15:14,598 --> 00:15:16,938 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 307 00:15:16,938 --> 00:15:21,738 This is a new, a new chapter for me, as you said, uh, because 308 00:15:24,978 --> 00:15:28,758 it's even, you know, even though you've been doing something a long time, 309 00:15:28,788 --> 00:15:33,408 when you, uh, had this, uh, coach reflect this back to me the other day. 310 00:15:35,028 --> 00:15:38,118 When they, you find something that you want to be all in on, it's 311 00:15:38,328 --> 00:15:44,028 still incredibly vulnerable feeling, pursuing that and telling the world, 312 00:15:44,028 --> 00:15:45,588 Hey, this is what I'm doing now. 313 00:15:45,593 --> 00:15:45,958 Mm-hmm. 314 00:15:46,038 --> 00:15:49,218 And so even though I've got this experience with online stuff and it's 315 00:15:49,218 --> 00:15:53,518 like, you know, I can look at maybe like the tech technical aspects of, 316 00:15:53,988 --> 00:15:56,898 you know, building a website or things like that, and that doesn't bother 317 00:15:56,898 --> 00:16:00,378 me still putting out into the world. 318 00:16:01,278 --> 00:16:02,868 This is something I'm passionate about. 319 00:16:03,558 --> 00:16:06,018 Um, and this is something I wanna help people with. 320 00:16:06,738 --> 00:16:08,118 It's still like super scary. 321 00:16:08,488 --> 00:16:08,778 Yeah. 322 00:16:08,783 --> 00:16:15,258 So I'm glad we're here and that we are stepping into this scariness. 323 00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:16,078 Brandi Healy: Yeah. 324 00:16:16,378 --> 00:16:19,698 Uh, it, it, it feels less scary not doing it by yourself, right? 325 00:16:19,698 --> 00:16:19,938 Yeah. 326 00:16:22,738 --> 00:16:26,838 So I think the other thing that I think is, you know, really fun. 327 00:16:27,303 --> 00:16:30,483 About you and people that follow you on Instagram might have seen, you know, 328 00:16:30,483 --> 00:16:35,943 you did a post on this around, you know, kind of these contradicting parts of 329 00:16:35,943 --> 00:16:41,193 yourself where it's like there's very practical, you know, father provider 330 00:16:41,223 --> 00:16:43,593 and at the same time kind of have this. 331 00:16:44,988 --> 00:16:47,778 Crunchy granola, woo woo part ca. 332 00:16:47,778 --> 00:16:49,188 Cow drinking. 333 00:16:49,398 --> 00:16:49,688 Yeah. 334 00:16:49,968 --> 00:16:50,028 Yeah. 335 00:16:50,028 --> 00:16:51,348 Human design. 336 00:16:51,588 --> 00:16:53,928 You know, Oracle card pulling 337 00:16:53,928 --> 00:16:54,498 Kyle Wood: part of you. 338 00:16:54,498 --> 00:16:54,948 Yeah. 339 00:16:55,008 --> 00:16:55,368 Yeah. 340 00:16:55,368 --> 00:16:58,158 I've just got, I was just looking at them just in front of me and 341 00:16:58,158 --> 00:17:01,608 it's like, you look at my bookshelf, it's like, yeah, Brene Brown. 342 00:17:01,868 --> 00:17:03,648 But then they'll be like Seth Gordon. 343 00:17:04,788 --> 00:17:08,178 Uh, then there'll be, uh, Tasha Silver. 344 00:17:08,178 --> 00:17:09,798 Are you familiar with her stuff? 345 00:17:10,038 --> 00:17:12,618 Um, outrageous openness, like that's a great book. 346 00:17:13,023 --> 00:17:17,193 So yeah, so there's this, this side of me that I've been using to 347 00:17:17,198 --> 00:17:22,233 fuel my mindset, especially around business stuff for a long time. 348 00:17:22,233 --> 00:17:25,923 And then learning about human design was like another permission 349 00:17:25,923 --> 00:17:29,433 slip to be like, ah, yeah, that is actually something that's really 350 00:17:29,433 --> 00:17:31,233 helpful, can be really helpful to me. 351 00:17:31,233 --> 00:17:34,593 Rather than just staying in that like really up in my 352 00:17:34,593 --> 00:17:37,113 head, strategic business sense. 353 00:17:37,113 --> 00:17:40,623 It could be really helpful for me to find ways to like tap into. 354 00:17:41,378 --> 00:17:46,908 My feelings and, um, my body too, which we get into. 355 00:17:48,078 --> 00:17:50,448 Brandi Healy: And I think that that's, you know, kind of a perfect 356 00:17:50,448 --> 00:17:52,878 pivot into why we're doing this. 357 00:17:52,878 --> 00:17:52,938 Yeah. 358 00:17:52,938 --> 00:17:56,808 And I think that, you know, both of us found human design around a 359 00:17:56,813 --> 00:17:59,598 similar time and we can kind of, we'll talk through, you know, our 360 00:17:59,603 --> 00:18:01,638 discovery process and leader episodes. 361 00:18:01,638 --> 00:18:05,688 But I think, you know, for both of us coming together, you know, we're both. 362 00:18:05,988 --> 00:18:12,048 Entrepreneurs in the wellness space and really trying to lean into our design 363 00:18:12,048 --> 00:18:18,198 to create these businesses and these lives and, you know, professionally and 364 00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:21,798 personally that feel in alignment for us. 365 00:18:21,798 --> 00:18:26,148 We've both been in experiences where we were definitely out of alignment. 366 00:18:26,148 --> 00:18:33,078 That left us feeling really burnt out and like, Things were off and you know, as you 367 00:18:33,078 --> 00:18:37,428 just said, like human design was such a permission slip for both of us to really 368 00:18:37,428 --> 00:18:41,958 recognize like things about ourselves that we always innately knew to be 369 00:18:41,958 --> 00:18:44,628 true, but maybe made ourselves wrong for 370 00:18:44,838 --> 00:18:47,928 Kyle Wood: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 371 00:18:48,198 --> 00:18:53,238 The last 12 months in particular, what's got me excited about this tool 372 00:18:53,268 --> 00:18:58,758 is just, yeah, those steps from really feeling, you know, especially like post. 373 00:18:59,673 --> 00:19:04,043 Uh, you know, as a recording, this is 2023, so especially it's like post covid. 374 00:19:05,793 --> 00:19:09,693 Um, I definitely didn't have like a retirement from work or anything, like 375 00:19:10,143 --> 00:19:15,243 what happened to some people, but I had a, you know, a sense of like burnout 376 00:19:15,248 --> 00:19:16,583 because it was such like an ongoing. 377 00:19:17,613 --> 00:19:19,503 Stressful thing. 378 00:19:20,313 --> 00:19:23,373 Just, just, just the constant information and in your face and 379 00:19:23,378 --> 00:19:24,483 you know, all the rest of it. 380 00:19:24,783 --> 00:19:26,403 Uncertainty, all that kind 381 00:19:26,403 --> 00:19:26,464 Brandi Healy: of stuff. 382 00:19:26,464 --> 00:19:27,333 There was no hiding from it. 383 00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:27,543 Right? 384 00:19:27,548 --> 00:19:28,023 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 385 00:19:28,023 --> 00:19:28,823 There was no break. 386 00:19:30,373 --> 00:19:37,813 Kyle Wood: So yeah, post that, feeling down on my business, feeling unsure 387 00:19:37,863 --> 00:19:42,483 about like the work I was doing and human designs really helped me. 388 00:19:43,388 --> 00:19:47,523 Yeah, create more alignment over the last year to be doing more of the 389 00:19:47,523 --> 00:19:49,683 work that I really want to be doing. 390 00:19:50,343 --> 00:19:53,433 Uh, and I've tried lots of things over that year, so I've been learning 391 00:19:53,438 --> 00:19:57,783 about human design, but you know, I also like tried working with, uh, some 392 00:19:57,783 --> 00:20:01,744 coaches and like business strategists and stuff like that, and didn't really 393 00:20:02,043 --> 00:20:04,353 get anywhere through those routes. 394 00:20:04,413 --> 00:20:08,613 And so it's really been that like coming back to myself, learning 395 00:20:08,613 --> 00:20:11,433 to trust my own inner authority. 396 00:20:12,153 --> 00:20:17,238 Um, That's saying to see this like sense of success on the other side. 397 00:20:18,738 --> 00:20:23,238 Brandi Healy: And I think for both of us, you know, even in my career in the 398 00:20:23,238 --> 00:20:27,888 retail space, like I've spent my, you know, my career developing people to 399 00:20:27,888 --> 00:20:33,468 reach their business goals and their personal goals or professional goals. 400 00:20:33,468 --> 00:20:38,148 And so now stepping into this entrepreneurial space of 401 00:20:38,148 --> 00:20:40,188 leveraging human design, it's. 402 00:20:40,188 --> 00:20:44,253 It's what I've always been doing, just with a different lens. 403 00:20:44,283 --> 00:20:47,313 And I think, you know, it's similar to what you do with fitness 404 00:20:47,313 --> 00:20:51,573 professionals and have done, it's just using this as an additional tool 405 00:20:51,573 --> 00:20:53,673 in our tool belt to support people. 406 00:20:54,093 --> 00:20:54,183 Yeah. 407 00:20:54,243 --> 00:20:59,253 Um, you know, to find a way that works for them that might not be the way 408 00:20:59,253 --> 00:21:01,743 that you do it or the way that I do it. 409 00:21:01,803 --> 00:21:05,463 And so what's been really fun in working together is. 410 00:21:06,183 --> 00:21:10,653 You know, being able to have these conversations of how we are integrating 411 00:21:10,653 --> 00:21:16,173 our designs into our lives and you know, I'm really looking forward to, 412 00:21:16,178 --> 00:21:21,393 as we experiment with that, you know, kind of how it starts to unfold and 413 00:21:21,393 --> 00:21:24,003 how it changes and how it evolves. 414 00:21:24,313 --> 00:21:27,573 As you know, we evolve and as our businesses evolve 415 00:21:27,573 --> 00:21:28,143 Kyle Wood: as well. 416 00:21:29,343 --> 00:21:32,613 Yeah, I think it'd be really fun for people to follow along. 417 00:21:33,788 --> 00:21:36,063 With as we continue implementing this stuff as well. 418 00:21:37,323 --> 00:21:45,363 Um, the, the other note I had down here was around helping people 419 00:21:45,363 --> 00:21:47,913 become full blown themselves. 420 00:21:48,023 --> 00:21:48,723 So like mm-hmm. 421 00:21:49,653 --> 00:21:54,363 So really like feel that sense of like, oh, I can show up with a sense of like, 422 00:21:54,363 --> 00:21:58,533 integrity and feel like I'm being myself. 423 00:21:58,683 --> 00:22:02,913 Um, And have, have that confidence around that as well. 424 00:22:02,913 --> 00:22:08,223 Like learning what to say yes to and what to say no to can be so empowering. 425 00:22:08,892 --> 00:22:15,972 Having been, you know, for to doing what would be 14 years this year of 426 00:22:15,972 --> 00:22:19,842 being in the online space, just seeing how things have changed there as well. 427 00:22:19,842 --> 00:22:22,182 There's been this shift from. 428 00:22:22,782 --> 00:22:26,622 When I got started, there was some great leaders in the online space 429 00:22:26,622 --> 00:22:32,052 who were like, you know, this is, um, this is what I'm doing. 430 00:22:33,012 --> 00:22:39,372 This is, this is why I think it works for me, and, you know, maybe you can 431 00:22:39,372 --> 00:22:43,452 like, think about it and see how maybe you can take some of what I'm doing 432 00:22:43,452 --> 00:22:44,712 and apply it to your own business. 433 00:22:45,762 --> 00:22:51,597 So it was lots of invitations around like, Here's an experiment you can 434 00:22:51,597 --> 00:22:56,367 try, whether it's in your business or, uh, your work or whatever it is. 435 00:22:56,847 --> 00:22:59,667 Uh, and then sort of go away and think about and reflect on it, 436 00:22:59,697 --> 00:23:02,937 whether it's something you should continue doing or stop doing. 437 00:23:03,657 --> 00:23:08,897 Whereas now there's one, there's like a bazillion more experts out there 438 00:23:10,287 --> 00:23:11,337 Brandi Healy: telling air quotes. 439 00:23:11,597 --> 00:23:12,577 Kyle Wood: Air supposed to do. 440 00:23:12,887 --> 00:23:13,177 Yeah. 441 00:23:14,667 --> 00:23:16,707 And the message is less. 442 00:23:18,372 --> 00:23:24,762 Here's how the, I'm gonna help you kind of work out what the 443 00:23:24,762 --> 00:23:27,042 best way for you to do things is. 444 00:23:27,462 --> 00:23:32,622 The message is, this is the best way I've worked out the best way. 445 00:23:32,952 --> 00:23:38,222 Don't think for yourself, just do what I tell you to do and, right. 446 00:23:38,442 --> 00:23:41,742 That's so disappointing to me, cuz it all that's gonna create is a bunch of 447 00:23:41,742 --> 00:23:44,442 businesses that are exactly the same. 448 00:23:45,027 --> 00:23:49,677 And what really excites me, especially that we're in like this creator economy 449 00:23:49,677 --> 00:23:56,217 where it is so much easier to make a living, you know, marketing through online 450 00:23:56,217 --> 00:24:02,157 and things like that, is to have unique businesses like, like your business should 451 00:24:02,157 --> 00:24:04,007 be a reflection of like your uniqueness. 452 00:24:04,317 --> 00:24:07,827 You shouldn't be trying to create a business that looks like someone else's. 453 00:24:07,827 --> 00:24:10,847 You should be trying to create the thing, the one that looks like you. 454 00:24:11,037 --> 00:24:11,527 Exactly. 455 00:24:12,432 --> 00:24:14,997 Exactly, and that's what's gonna lead to success. 456 00:24:15,267 --> 00:24:17,547 And that's actually for a lot of these people out there 457 00:24:17,547 --> 00:24:19,167 who are like, do it my way. 458 00:24:19,887 --> 00:24:23,927 Their success has been because they spent time working out what worked 459 00:24:23,927 --> 00:24:25,207 for them, what worked for them. 460 00:24:26,307 --> 00:24:29,307 Um, but you won't necessarily have success by doing that. 461 00:24:29,367 --> 00:24:32,487 So that's, that's another goal for this podcast that I'd really love is like 462 00:24:32,487 --> 00:24:39,702 helping you work out what that success looks like to you and, How you can show 463 00:24:39,702 --> 00:24:44,862 up in your, like, most unique self, um, so that you can, you can find that 464 00:24:44,862 --> 00:24:46,872 success and, and feel good about it too. 465 00:24:48,342 --> 00:24:51,882 Brandi Healy: I'm excited for us to continue to not only have conversations 466 00:24:51,882 --> 00:24:53,382 just about our own businesses, but. 467 00:24:53,682 --> 00:24:56,772 You know, in future episodes as we bring on guests to talk 468 00:24:56,772 --> 00:25:00,942 about how they're embodying their design in their businesses. 469 00:25:00,942 --> 00:25:01,032 Oh yeah. 470 00:25:01,032 --> 00:25:03,582 And how that shows up really different from them. 471 00:25:03,582 --> 00:25:07,332 So I know we've had some conversations of, you know, people that we'd like 472 00:25:07,332 --> 00:25:12,102 to have on that are in, you know, all different avenues of the wellness 473 00:25:12,107 --> 00:25:16,872 space and, you know, have really varied, you know, different types of 474 00:25:16,872 --> 00:25:22,122 designs and it's so cool to see how unique each of their businesses are to 475 00:25:22,152 --> 00:25:22,692 Kyle Wood: them. 476 00:25:23,277 --> 00:25:23,667 Yeah. 477 00:25:24,057 --> 00:25:24,297 Yep. 478 00:25:25,467 --> 00:25:26,787 Yeah, absolutely. 479 00:25:27,477 --> 00:25:31,947 Um, speaking of which, we'll do, we'll do a quick, quick reading 480 00:25:32,457 --> 00:25:33,807 of a reading I did on the weekend. 481 00:25:34,857 --> 00:25:35,517 So, so yeah. 482 00:25:35,517 --> 00:25:38,697 So maybe this is a good example of like what human design is. 483 00:25:38,757 --> 00:25:42,777 So I, uh, was watching the surfing documentary that I mentioned 484 00:25:42,782 --> 00:25:47,967 earlier, and a big part of surfing is Kelly Slater because. 485 00:25:48,597 --> 00:25:49,167 He's like 50. 486 00:25:50,457 --> 00:25:54,057 He's 50 and he is still complete competing against like guys who are 487 00:25:54,057 --> 00:25:55,767 like, less than half of his age. 488 00:25:57,027 --> 00:26:00,477 And, um, I was, you know, I was so interested, we listening to 489 00:26:00,477 --> 00:26:04,257 him talk and he was talking about like how all of his opportunities 490 00:26:04,257 --> 00:26:05,577 have come through, like surfing. 491 00:26:06,517 --> 00:26:10,977 Uh, and then there's a, there's another documentary out there that's called, 492 00:26:10,982 --> 00:26:17,427 um, uh, something Generation, which is like, Kind of reflected on this group 493 00:26:17,427 --> 00:26:22,797 of surfers who grew up in Hawaii, like trained in Hawaii and sort of came up 494 00:26:22,797 --> 00:26:29,187 together and they're talking about Kelly's journey from being this just like ultra 495 00:26:29,187 --> 00:26:33,237 competitive guy, just like ruthless. 496 00:26:33,807 --> 00:26:37,717 Every, everyone hated him cuz he, cuz he was just like a terrible. 497 00:26:38,617 --> 00:26:40,467 Brandi Healy: He was like the Michael Jordan of surfing. 498 00:26:40,887 --> 00:26:41,367 Kyle Wood: Yeah. 499 00:26:42,237 --> 00:26:46,497 And then, um, you know, he had this like, massive transformation and he like came 500 00:26:46,497 --> 00:26:50,607 and made up with the like friends and things like that and just like really 501 00:26:50,612 --> 00:26:53,877 changed in who he is, you know, now he's got a company that's like, does 502 00:26:53,877 --> 00:26:59,067 all this like fashion that does all, um, but all the products like, kind 503 00:26:59,067 --> 00:27:03,447 of like Patagonia, like, you know, all responsibly sourced and things like that. 504 00:27:03,447 --> 00:27:03,807 Mm-hmm. 505 00:27:05,117 --> 00:27:09,552 So, Yeah, I looked him up and I was like, so Kelly's definitely 506 00:27:09,552 --> 00:27:12,942 a generator or a manifesting generator because of like the energy. 507 00:27:13,182 --> 00:27:13,692 Um, right. 508 00:27:14,052 --> 00:27:15,462 So he is a manifesting generator. 509 00:27:15,912 --> 00:27:17,772 Um, did he have a six in his profile? 510 00:27:18,282 --> 00:27:19,362 He's a four six. 511 00:27:19,692 --> 00:27:20,212 I knew it. 512 00:27:20,502 --> 00:27:20,742 Yeah. 513 00:27:20,742 --> 00:27:21,892 Right, right. 514 00:27:22,092 --> 00:27:27,912 As I was listening, so, so six lines tend to have a pretty like, 515 00:27:27,912 --> 00:27:31,482 intense for those who are new here to human design, pretty intense. 516 00:27:31,482 --> 00:27:32,892 Like first 30 years of their life. 517 00:27:33,552 --> 00:27:36,372 And, and tend to engage a lot of high risk activities. 518 00:27:36,372 --> 00:27:38,442 And if you look at some of the waves and things, he was 519 00:27:38,442 --> 00:27:40,692 surfing back then, like, yes. 520 00:27:43,212 --> 00:27:47,412 And so then from like 30 on, there's like more of a process of integrating 521 00:27:47,412 --> 00:27:49,002 all of this like experience they've had. 522 00:27:50,292 --> 00:27:52,962 And then from 50 it was so interesting that he's like just 523 00:27:52,962 --> 00:27:55,992 turning 50 and he's looking to pull back from competitive life. 524 00:27:56,172 --> 00:27:59,562 That's when they really step into being like this sort of mentor role. 525 00:28:00,132 --> 00:28:01,542 So yeah, I thought that was really interesting too. 526 00:28:01,572 --> 00:28:04,152 And then also when he was talking about like the connections he's made 527 00:28:04,152 --> 00:28:07,392 through surfing have led to all of his connections cuz that's a big part 528 00:28:07,932 --> 00:28:10,452 of the four four and your, your chat. 529 00:28:11,292 --> 00:28:13,242 Um, and I 530 00:28:13,242 --> 00:28:13,842 Brandi Healy: believe so fun. 531 00:28:13,872 --> 00:28:15,222 I always love looking up. 532 00:28:15,552 --> 00:28:18,552 I always love of love looking up the designs of people I find Yeah. 533 00:28:18,552 --> 00:28:21,552 Intriguing and seeing like how that plays out. 534 00:28:21,552 --> 00:28:26,262 So, you know, we're really looking forward to, you know, in probably some 535 00:28:26,262 --> 00:28:30,972 of these near future episodes, digging into a little bit about Kyle's design, 536 00:28:31,062 --> 00:28:36,552 digging into mine, talking about our designs collectively and how, you know, 537 00:28:36,552 --> 00:28:38,262 that operates like in partnership. 538 00:28:38,267 --> 00:28:38,772 Kyle Wood: Yeah, yeah. 539 00:28:39,372 --> 00:28:39,582 Yep. 540 00:28:40,392 --> 00:28:42,732 Brandi Healy: Um, and then, you know, talking to some other 541 00:28:42,732 --> 00:28:44,592 folks about how they live it too. 542 00:28:45,417 --> 00:28:45,687 Kyle Wood: Yep. 543 00:28:46,167 --> 00:28:46,707 I'm excited. 544 00:28:46,707 --> 00:28:46,767 Chi. 545 00:28:47,517 --> 00:28:47,897 Me too. 546 00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:50,127 Thank you, Brandy. 547 00:28:50,187 --> 00:28:50,847 Thanks for being here. 548 00:28:50,847 --> 00:28:52,287 Thanks for being my partner in this. 549 00:28:52,587 --> 00:28:53,327 Thanks, Kyle. 550 00:28:53,577 --> 00:28:53,787 Thanks 551 00:28:53,787 --> 00:28:54,447 Brandi Healy: for asking me.
