And I had to make it fun. No one wants to just work hard. So I would do these competitions. And with Blast Tupac, I would have these rapping competitions where I would make people try to see who could beat me with rapping these big palettes. And I'm quite speedy. So like we would rap while rapping to Tupac. So you're doing the double entendre, right? You're rapping and you're rapping.

And at the end, if someone beat me, I would give them free quest bars. Now, what that did, multiple things. That number one showed the team that nothing was ever beneath me. I was willing to do exactly what they were willing to do. It showed them that I wasn't stuffy, that I actually had something in common with them.

And that was the fact that we appreciated rap music for the lyrics, the meaning behind it, et cetera. And it showed them that I was willing to be a teammate, that when things get hard, I was willing absolutely to roll up my sleeves and jump in with them. Now, over time, That absolutely commanded respect.

That wasn't something I learned in a book and that wasn't something that anyone could teach me. It was just me stabbing in the dark, trying a bunch of things and then realizing the thing that worked for me and connected me to my team.

Now, I know that was a really long story, but I take that and I echo that type of thing in everything I do, whether that's building my YouTube channel, whether that's building impact theory, that idea of as a leader, you need to show by example, you need to be a part of it, people need to have fun. And now I use laughter as a metric in my company to know how my team is emotionally.

So that's really a big lesson that I learned in that whole scenario.

And that EQ that you mentioned is really coming from the fact that I had terrible EQ is how I used to see it. I would take everything personally. Everything was emotional and everything was based on emotion. Well, I feel this, so it must be true.

And what I realized is every time I match my feelings and emotions to the goals I'm trying to get to, I realized that a lot of the time my emotions were actually getting in the way. because I would take things personally. And that's where I started to go, okay, this doesn't serve me.

And what I understand about emotions is the fact that if I don't eat for, let's say, 10 hours, I know I'm gonna get moody. I'm gonna get agitated. If we all know as humans, we all act like that, Why do we not think that emotions are going to be driven by multiple sources? So when I get overwhelmed or let's say I make a decision from an emotional standpoint, well, what if I'm tired?

What if I have eaten sugar that day? What if I just had an argument with my husband? Do I think that that decision is going to be done with clarity? No. All the things that I've just gone through are going to fog my decision making. And I just call myself on that.

Instead of trying to hide it, instead of trying to be embarrassed by it, I just say, right now, I'm really irritable, so I can't make any decisions. I need to go and eat. I need to sleep. I need my nine hours. What are the things that are going to allow me to have what I call emotional sobriety? And emotional sobriety is when you are not allowing your emotions to make a decision.
