Full Episode
Izzy Batra, star of HGTV's Izzy Does It, joins the We're Out of Time podcast.
I don't think I'm famous. HGTV is a great channel. Like, when I think of fame, I think of Kelsey's old lady. Taylor Swift? Yeah. The way that you're going to get ahead is you work. You don't complain. You don't do any of that. You just work. And if you work hard enough, then you're going to be able to build something.
Did you get arrested when you were a kid? I was. Did you go to jail? I did.
Everybody's shocked right now. But it's a redemption story. And that's why I'm here. Because there's a lot of people out there that find themselves in that place and they think they're never going to get out. There's no hope. And I'm just here to tell you guys that there is hope. And there was men with my background that could relate to me. And they started telling me, this is your new walk now.
You're not going to go back to the neighborhood. You're not going to go back to the streets. We're going to start this walk together. I see you. You matter. You have purpose. I think that's everybody's desire is to be seen.
We're overwhelmed with gratitude. We're out of time has reached number three on the Apple podcast mental health chart. Thank you for listening, supporting and sharing this journey with us.
Izzy. Yes, sir. Thank you for coming today. This is a big deal. And I'm very grateful to you. Well, thank you for inviting me out here. And I was looking forward to this. Yeah. All right. So I want to go through a little story for the people that may or may not know who you are. Tell me about your childhood.
All right. Raised by my mom and dad. Migrated, immigrated from Mexico, Durango, Mexico, and Oaxaca, Mexico, to the city of Santa Ana, Orange County, California, back in the 60s. They met in the 60s. And their life, you know, just like anybody's life, trying to seek a better place, was pretty rough. You know, murder. In Mexico. In Mexico.
You got to come over here, support the family, all that story that you hear. Now, people are just trying to find refuge, right? Right. So they found refuge here in Santa Ana, California. They met and... I grew up poor. I wouldn't say dirt poor. My wife grew up dirt poor. But my parents, they made it work, got married. They had kids and they raised three boys, one girl.
