And I think in many ways he helped set up the model by which we run our family, which is like there's a way to maintain being a high-level creative and pursuing your career, but also being so invested in and concerned about our family as the main unit. Yeah.
Because I think it reflects the fact that, you know, my brothers and I, whenever any of us had a job, we were always on set for the other person just to be there, just to be like, I'm so excited for you.
And I think it's those little things that have made the experience so enjoyable generally was like, oh, I never had to sacrifice a distance from family or this feeling that this was a solo journey in order to be doing this. And so, yeah, I think that's something he modeled very, very early on. That's cool.
Mm-hmm.
It's audio primarily, but there will be a video component that we're launching, which we're excited about. But yeah, it's with SiriusXM, but you can find it everywhere.
Yeah, and I think true to our business relationship, we've really co-conceptualized it behind the scenes. I'm hosting it. So we're both in the room, but I'm hosting and interviewing.
And it's some of what we teased and talked about throughout this conversation of it started from the conversations that her and I would have of one, these kind of more existential conversations of where we're both at in our lives and what are the questions that wanted to be answered.
But also a lot of it was both of us being very lucky to be in these exclusive rooms, finding ourselves just the nature of our community to be like, we're at a small get together with friends. every major politician and every major collected artist. Or we're at the TED conference, which has a barrier to entry of X amount thousand to get a ticket.
And so many times the conversations that were really insightful to us were happening in these exclusive rooms. Right. And it was really a matter of accessibility. Like, there's so many questions we got answered not even realizing that that's what was going to happen, just the nature of having conversations with people.
And so for us, we curated a guest list of the people that – many people that we've already talked to privately and personally of being like, no, let's make this official. There's so many gems in how they've shared their stories. And I think –
There are so many messages of optimism just through people's journeys of them sharing how they've overcome certain challenges, what their current takeaways are. So it's been a very exciting process because we do a lot of brain work behind the scenes. And then by the time I get out here to ask questions, the conversation always flows in very interesting ways.
But luckily, it has served its initial purpose, which was for us to be able to have really fulfilling conversations with people and realize... Many times I was always the youngest person in this room, and sometimes that can be mistaken for being the only young person interested, which is far from true.
I understand I could be an anomaly in a certain way, but I think I come from a deeply curious generation, and I think... There's so many things that we seek out in terms of information, and that's part of why it was inspiring to me to know, oh, yeah, I just happened to have been in the room while this conversation was happening, but I know so many people that would learn from that.
So many of my conversations with my peers are about us asking each other these questions.
Thank you.
I'm also excited to watch.
I think, what would 34-year-old Yara say? Well, I think to our conversation on mental fortitude, to know, to be reassured that I'll continue to show up for myself. Well, it would be nice to hear from 34-year-old Yara that there's no point in stressing about future challenges anymore. Maybe not that there's no point, but that we move through them and that we are capable of moving through them.
I mean, I think 34-year-old Yara, I'm excited for her to give me intel on what happens when we follow our curiosities. I think I've been able to do that, and I'm at a point in my career where there is always going to be a bit of strategy. There is always going to be a bit of business, and I like that part of what we do. But it'll be reaffirming to be like, well, what blossomed from the curiosity?
What's the thing that I didn't expect we were going to do? Because I feel like even though I feel like I've been a very consistent person in my life in terms of like core values, like who I was at 16 is not a far stretch from who I am now. I also could never imagine what I was dreaming about now at 16. So I would love to know what 34-year-old Yara is dreaming about. That's interesting. That's cool.
Is that two things?
