I want to be the number one or number two in education. Amazing. Now play the game. No BS. What would it actually take for me to be as big as Ilana? Because you can't just expect that to happen. So that's where I go into get detailed. No BS. What would it take? You can't go to the beach. You can't go on that vacation. You can't say yes to those dates.

If you've got kids, maybe you can't go to every parent-teacher meeting. That is the realities of showing up like Ilana. That's the reality of having something like Leap Academy. So when someone's sitting at home right now saying, I want a podcast, how do I get it? I'm not even going to get started because I'm not as good as Ilana. That's the one excuse.

The second excuse is that I don't have the time or I can't. Well, if you put in 70 to 80 hours and you played no BS, what would it take? And you have to say no to those beach vacations and you have to say no to those outings and you have to say no and no and no and no. Now you can see how you end up getting as good as Alana, but you have to put in the reps.

And if you're not willing to do the reps, of course you're not going to be as good as them. But don't trick yourself in thinking it's because you don't have the capability.

Or not work hard and just accept that they're never going to be as potentially as big as you, which again is okay. But don't be yourself out and then in 10 years say, I can't believe I'm not as big as Leap Academy. Well, no. You're not as big as Leap Academy because you chose those moments where Ilana's off working. You chose to Netflix and chill. But that's okay because it's your decision.

Just don't trick yourself into saying it's not my decision. I wish, I wish, I wish.

Being Greek Orthodox, it wasn't even in my brain or thought process to realize I had a choice whether I wanted kids or not. Now, that may seem crazy now, but I was born in 79, so that I'm 45 years old. So it was at a point where I was like, of course, I'm going to have kids. It didn't even dawn on me that I could ask myself, did I want children?

Now, as Quest started to grow and as I started to just help out, that was like what I was, I'm just going to help out. I'm the good Greek wife, remember? I'm just helping my husband out, not realizing we would grow so quickly. So I'm like, I'm helping out. And then every day I was like, wow, I really love this. Yesterday, I had no idea how to do X, Y, and Z. Today, I figured it out.

Yesterday, I had no idea how to do X, Y, and Z. Today, I figured it out.

Wow, I didn't realize I could do that. And yet I managed to figure it out. I had such low self-esteem that every day I was doing something and figuring something out, I started to build pride. And that pride made me realize that I could maybe be unstoppable. And I actually said that, huh, maybe you could just keep going. keep going.

Maybe you can keep figuring things out and you're not as dumb as you thought you were. So that's an insight into me. When I was a kid, I used to think that I was dumb because I was the artist in the family and I wasn't getting A's, I was getting C's. So the narrative I taught myself growing up was that I was the dumb one in the family.

So by the time Quest started to grow and I started to realize, wow, hang on a minute. I've had this idea that I was really stupid, but I've kind of figured this stuff out. Maybe I'm not as stupid as I thought I was. I was finding the validation.
