[00:23] Yeah, that's the fun part.
[00:23] Well, okay.
[00:23] So, really, if you think about our relationship, what do we do?
[00:25] So, really, if you think about our relationship, what do we do?
[00:25] We call each other.

[00:26] You call me every day at 8 a.m.
[00:27] each other.
[00:27] You call me every day at 8 a.m.
[00:27] It's kind of like a wakeup call.
[00:29] a.m.
[00:29] It's kind of like a wakeup call.
[00:29] I am still in bed.
[00:30] am still in bed.
[00:30] But it has become a wakeup call because I think when I originally started that, you were never really awake.
[00:32] it has become a wakeup call because I think when I originally started that, you were never really awake.
[00:33] think when I originally started that, you were never really awake.

[00:39] up at 8:00, but now that it's school year, I get up at 7:00.
[00:39] So now I actually am awake in the kitchen like doing things.

[00:44] Yeah,
[00:45] Yeah,
[00:45] you adapted to me.
[00:47] you adapted to me.
[00:47] But anyways, the point is you call me, we chitchat, we banter, we usually talk about work like 50% of the time because we work together, so there's so much to talk about.
[00:48] But anyways, the point is you call me, we chitchat, we banter, we usually talk about work like 50% of the time because we work together, so there's so much to talk about.
[00:50] we chitchat, we banter, we usually talk about work like 50% of the time because we work together, so there's so much to talk about.
[00:53] about work like 50% of the time because we work together, so there's so much to talk about.
[00:53] Then it always like leads on off into some tangent about like some weird [ __ ] about the universe or husbands or like kids subconscious.
[00:54] we work together, so there's so much to talk about.
[00:54] Then it always like leads on off into some tangent about like some weird [ __ ] about the universe or husbands or like kids subconscious.
[00:57] talk about.
[00:57] Then it always like leads on off into some tangent about like some weird [ __ ] about the universe or husbands or like kids subconscious.
[00:59] off into some tangent about like some weird [ __ ] about the universe or husbands or like kids subconscious.
[00:59] Oh, husbands that's going
[01:02] about the universe or husbands or like kids subconscious.
[01:04] husbands or like kids subconscious.
[01:06] subconscious.
[01:06] Oh, husbands that's going to be a home to be a home literally just a bunch of nonsense.
[01:08] This literally just a bunch of nonsense.
[01:10] This is what truly what it is. And I feel like it's like the biggest part of our day.
[01:12] Why not bring it to the part I look forward to the most?
[01:15] Actually, I get really pissed off when you don't pick up.
[01:17] When you put me straight to it, I'm just like, "Oh, that bitch."
[01:20] bitch.
[01:22] Or you know when I call you, you're like, "You really want to talk to me right now?"
[01:23] You must definitely really
[01:25] She Yeah, she called me after work and then I was like, I'm still at work.
[01:27] I I can't talk. I got to get to my kids. And then like literally 5 minutes later, which is very unlike you, you called me again.
[01:28] I was like, what the [ __ ] do you want to say to me?
[01:31] Why did you see that?
[01:33] What did I need to say to you that day?
[01:34] Nothing.
[01:36] Actually, I totally was let down because I thought two times in a row.
[01:37] This must be really good. No, it was actually really nothing cuz I got my hopes up and you totally let me down.
[01:39] Oh, I think I was just going to tell you how like I wanted to actually control the hotel rooms for the Three Points Festival concert.
[01:41] You did tell me but cuz you started getting like really angsty with sending all the hotel rooms and I was like
[01:43] I got I got really like I always do that everyone hates me for and actually her husband hates me for it too but I swear.
[01:44] But no no everyone in the office hates
[02:06] But no no everyone in the office hates me for it but that's what makes me me for it but that's what makes me really great too.
[02:09] really great too.
[02:10] That's also why we love you, right?
[02:11] Isn't that the whole thing that people like hate what they hate about you is also what they love the most about you?
[02:15] also what they love the most about you?
[02:16] Yeah, actually. Yes.
[02:17] I think that's like kind of like how relationships are built.
[02:19] What I hate about myself too is actually what I love most about myself.
[02:24] My work is like why am I like this? And but I do love that.
[02:26] It's like perfectionism. Like it's actually like a completely different than perfectionism.
[02:30] actually like a completely different than perfectionism.
[02:32] But we can throw perfection.
[02:34] But we can throw perfection.
[02:36] What were you thinking about?
[02:38] That's for another podcast conversation once once you get to know or like us hopefully.
[02:40] once once you get to know or like us hopefully.
[02:41] hopefully.
[02:42] Yeah. Right.
[02:42] Okay.
[02:43] But I do feel like this is going to be fun. We're going to make we are going to talk about aesthetics.
[02:45] fun. We're going to make we are going to talk about aesthetics.
[02:46] We are going to talk about the industry. We are going to eventually like find out what our viewers hopefully if anybody cares to watch the [ __ ] what we want like what they want to hear about and then we'll just talk about fun stuff too.
[02:48] talk about the industry. We are going to eventually like find out what our
[02:50] eventually like find out what our viewers hopefully if anybody cares to watch the [ __ ] what we want like what
[02:52] watch the [ __ ] what we want like what they want to hear about and then we'll
[02:54] they want to hear about and then we'll just talk about fun stuff too.
[02:56] just talk about fun stuff too. So it'll be I don't know it'll be fun.
[02:59] So it'll be I don't know it'll be fun.
[03:00] be I don't know it'll be fun.
[03:02] And back to the reason why why we did this is because it's just an excuse to work because you are my best friend and
[03:05] this is because it's just an excuse to work because you are my best friend and
[03:07] work because you are my best friend and I love that.
[03:09] And then my husband will tell me if I'm making money at some point because of this.
[03:13] He's like sure babe go do it.
[03:15] I'm like, I get to hang out with my best friend and drink wine and just talk about.
[03:20] So, it's an excuse to hang out, but it's disguised as work.
[03:21] Yeah.
[03:22] Essentially, your husband, too.
[03:24] Yes. Cuz we're putting in the effort.
[03:26] Yeah. He's actually her husband's love language is putting in the effort.
[03:31] So, she is doing Cheers, Leslie.
[03:32] If we ask him that, he will not say that that's the case, but like obviously we've all gathered that.
[03:37] We're all in denial just because Okay.
[03:40] So, she is my best friend and I don't know how it's official.
[03:42] It's on the podcast. You said I know.
[03:44] Yeah, actually she sent me this book that was really sweet.
[03:45] I was reading it last night and it says to my soul sister because it's about souls and I was just like it's usually around my period time where I think she really hates me.
[03:56] Like this girl I think her thing with me is picking on me.
[03:59] But you know that's my karma because I pick on everybody and I think I picked the one person that when I think I'm being cool and fun, she just really like and I'm just like
[04:08] just like it gets to you.
[04:09] it gets to you.
[04:09] Yeah. But I oddly like it.
[04:11] Yeah. But I oddly like it.
[04:11] Like I think that's why I keep coming back for more.
[04:13] that's why I keep coming back for more.
[04:13] Right. I think it's what I do to people.
[04:15] Right. I think it's what I do to people.
[04:15] You actually do so well to me.
[04:17] You actually do so well to me.
[04:17] I just take it.
[04:18] take it.
[04:18] I do.
[04:20] But I feel like you also respect my opinion.
[04:22] opinion. So I think it's that when I say these things to you, like it Yeah.
[04:24] Like it resonates with you versus like if somebody else is going to pick on you,
[04:26] somebody else is going to pick on you, you could probably just be like like not worth my energy.
[04:27] you could probably just be like like not worth my energy.
[04:30] worth my energy.
[04:32] Yeah. But it means so much to me that like
[04:32] like I think I only pick on you because I'm comfortable with you.
[04:33] I think I only pick on you because I'm comfortable with you.
[04:34] Because if you really know me, I'm a conflict avoider.
[04:37] really know me, I'm a conflict avoider.
[04:37] Like I'm not going to pick on somebody.
[04:38] Like I'm not going to pick on somebody.
[04:38] Like I'm never going to I'm going to agree like 90% of the time.
[04:40] Like I'm never going to I'm going to agree like 90% of the time.
[04:40] I'm just going to like agree and be like, "Yeah, that looks great."
[04:41] I'm just going to like agree and be like, "Yeah, that looks great."
[04:43] that looks great.
[04:43] Yeah.
[04:44] Yeah.
[04:46] Actually, I see her do this with patients, too.
[04:48] patients, too. I don't even She'll just keep talking and then I'll tell a patient.
[04:49] keep talking and then I'll tell a patient.
[04:49] I'm like, "No, she's lying.
[04:51] No, she's lying.
[04:51] That's not the afterare.
[04:52] That's not the afterare. Actually, you're going to be really swollen.
[04:54] you're going to be really swollen.
[04:54] Like, she'll just agree with you.
[04:55] And I'm like, "No, no, you will be a chipmunk for four weeks, not
[04:58] like, "No, no, you will be a chipmunk for four weeks, not
[05:01] I know there's different styles, but you know, I feel like I've never been that injector that like scares people away.
[05:03] know, I feel like I've never been that injector that like scares people away.
[05:03] I just want to like things a little bit
[05:06] injector that like scares people away.
[05:06] I just want to like things a little bit
[05:08] just want to like things a little bit.
[05:11] the end product and sometimes the journey to get to the end product.
[05:12] You have some uglies in between and I'm the one that freaks out during those uglies.
[05:16] and she's like no big deal and then when you make it through it's fine.
[05:20] So what did I teach you in the very beginning?
[05:23] It's actually something that's really shaped me.
[05:24] Why are you going to stress over something that hasn't happened?
[05:27] Yeah. Don't worry until there's a problem.
[05:28] Yeah. Don't worry until there's a problem.
[05:30] Like it's like we're all worrying that like this might become a problem or we might have this, you know, bad outcome or this patient might not like this.
[05:38] and then that leads into manifesting.
[05:40] So this is where the nonsense comes into.
[05:41] So then if you think there's something that's going to happen, like something's definitely going to happen because you're manifesting it.
[05:48] So cuz you what they say like worrying is actually just manifesting your problems.
[05:52] Like the act of worrying is really just manifesting your problems.
[05:53] Like if you think about it, if you just sit around and worry all day, all manifesting is is like placing your attention on something.
[06:01] Yeah. When you put a thought into it, your brain starts to believe it.
[06:03] And I think you pull that energy.
[06:05] Yeah. Which is weird because I feel like in the past, I actually used to be the type of person that was like really believed in like jinxing.
[06:07] So like if I
[06:10] believed in like jinxing.
[06:11] So like if I thought like I would always want the opposite to happen, oh my god, today it's going to be like I'm not going to like get the job.
[06:17] I know I'm not going to get the job.
[06:18] I know I'm not going to get the job.
[06:19] And then I would get the job.
[06:21] So I like would always kept h kept happening to me.
[06:23] And I believed like if I thought the opposite, which is so weird because that's like literally what we're saying.
[06:28] So actually I'm like the exact opposite of what you're saying though is
[06:30] that was how I used to
[06:33] like I'm very like doubtful in myself.
[06:34] But anytime I went into something I was actually very confident like no you got this.
[06:38] Like even though like every on the dayto-day basis I'm like oh man Aaron you suck this this but when it all comes down to it I actually have a lot of confidence.
[06:45] I know I'm completely capable and everything.
[06:49] Me and I will speak for others is probably the hard you're the hardest person to figure out.
[06:52] You're like the most confident person with like
[06:56] Yeah. the most like self-doubt and yeah, confidence.
[06:58] And it goes back to perfectionism.
[07:00] Unless I know I'm the best, which you're never going to know if you're the best cuz honestly the older I get, I don't want to be the best.
[07:04] I want to balance in my life.
[07:06] Like if I know I'm doing good and making people happy, but I'm good in home and I'm getting filled with my heart.
[07:09] Like I am at my best,
[07:12] My heart. Like I am at my best, but I'm I'm letting that side go with me a little.
[07:14] Yeah. Right. That brings up a good topic.
[07:16] Like, do you think it's important to be the best injector results-wise or the best like injector like relationshipwise?
[07:27] Or I think Instagram makes it very hard because you're always comparing before and afters.
[07:32] And I've even gotten so I've gotten psychopath about, oh, look at the light reflex.
[07:35] There's light in this, not light in this.
[07:36] And then I compare my competitors and I'm just like, what am I doing?
[07:40] Like I'm happy. I'm fulfilled. I am my schedule is full.
[07:42] Like be happy with your results.
[07:44] But I will watch you all night.
[07:46] I pull up those before and afters in bed and I am looking at you.
[07:48] I'm like, "Oh, yeah. Now we got to do this. Now we got to do this."
[07:52] So, just know you are in my dreams.
[07:55] But I feel like and literally this girl just has dreams that she could remember all the time.
[07:58] I'm like, I really don't remember.
[08:01] You could have a whole she fakes it like I really
[08:05] I know, but the more I read these books like I am imagining the dreams has something to do with the souls though, but we'll get that to the book.
[08:09] Yeah. Right. Like where are you going when you dream?
[08:11] But anyways, I feel like I said that we get a lot of our clients
[08:13] I said that we get a lot of our clients from Instagram, but realistically that's probably not the case.
[08:17] So yes, that's important because we have to show like the really good before and afters and we have to make sure people want to come and see us.
[08:22] But the majority of the way we get our clients is from referrals and word of mouth which is about the relationship though like right like I feel like people really Yeah.
[08:29] They're probably saying like, "Go to my injector because she did my cheeks and my chin and they look amazing."
[08:34] But also, go to my injector because she is like super down to earth and she's really easy to talk to and she's doesn't push you into things and she makes you feel comfortable about your insecurities and she makes you feel heard.
[08:46] Like all those kind of things are way more important.
[08:48] And like I feel like that's another reason why we don't really have like MAS in our business.
[08:53] And I feel like that's like a hot topic that a lot of these like places have like mas and not that there's like not a purpose for them.
[08:59] Well, I'm also just a big control freak.
[09:04] Exactly. We do like that we do the whole such a control freak from like the moment they walk in the door they don't see us of course cuz the front desk that greets them.
[09:08] But like we take we get them like we're just doing a whole lot. like we're just like well I think it goes back to the
[09:14] well I think it goes back to the perfectionism where like if if you took perfectionism where like if if you took the picture and it was not the same the picture and it was not the same angle cuz I could see it in the eyeball like I don't think you're paying attention to the detail that I want to attention to the detail that I want to see to know like see to know like
[09:23] and I guess I lied because I do have an MA and you were trying to call me MA and you were trying to call me
[09:26] I know I didn't have
[09:28] I'm the only boozy [ __ ] that actually gets an MA in this business and I'll gets an MA in this business and I'll admit it but it's truly because I
[09:34] I like okay she's lying already I I really feel like
[09:38] I I really feel like
[09:40] look how much I bit my toe
[09:41] not like a it's Not like a lot though
[09:43] that I don't do. Like I just feel like it's a little it's like a simple
[09:45] it's a little it's like a simple
[09:46] but she's also the boss and she doesn't really have to do much.
[09:48] really have to do much.
[09:49] Like my MA does not mix up my talks prepare any of the rights when I offer prepare any of the rights when I offer to mix it up.
[09:52] to mix it up. I feel like you still don't even want me to. I'm like I got this.
[09:56] I feel like you still don't even want me to. I'm like I got this.
[09:58] I'm like I got this.
[09:59] No, I do trust you. But I feel like that's the kind of stuff that like I just need to know because that is going to affect the result.
[09:59] But I feel like that's the kind of stuff that like I just need to know because that is going to affect the result.
[10:01] Like if any little bit of it is off or it could affect like an adverse reaction. It could affect so much like the sterility, all that stuff.
[10:02] that is going to affect the result. Like if any little bit of it is off or it could affect like an adverse reaction. It could affect so much like the sterility, all that stuff.
[10:04] Like if any little bit of it is off or it could affect like an adverse reaction. It could affect so much like the sterility, all that stuff.
[10:06] an adverse reaction. It could affect so much like the sterility, all that stuff.
[10:08] It could affect so much like the sterility, all that stuff.
[10:09] So, but like a picture and if somebody's trained well, like it it can work out
[10:11] So, but like a picture and if somebody's trained well, like it it can work out
[10:13] trained well, like it it can work out
[10:15] trained well, like it it can work out like an MA can help you save time that.
[10:17] like an MA can help you save time that you can see more people.
[10:19] you can see more people.
[10:19] I think I got to a point where I was like so busy that.
[10:20] to a point where I was like so busy that I felt like it helped my flow, but I'm still not sold on like an MA.
[10:23] I felt like it helped my flow, but I'm still not sold on like an MA.
[10:24] Like I don't feel like oh my god, I can't live without an MA.
[10:26] don't feel like oh my god, I can't live without an MA.
[10:27] I know some people some judges will say that and I'm like I have like an MA and I don't feel that way.
[10:29] judges will say that and I'm like I have like an MA and I don't feel that way.
[10:30] as of the moment.
[10:30] I can't live with an I can't live without you but not.
[10:33] as of the moment.
[10:33] I can't live with an I can't live without you but not.
[10:34] I can live without you Natalya inside work but not outside work.
[10:36] I can live without you Natalya inside work but not outside work.
[10:39] However, the only way I can live with an MA is if they are like in my room 24/7 and like my little side psychic.
[10:41] the only way I can live with an MA is if they are like in my room 24/7 and like my little side psychic.
[10:43] Like I want you to hear the conversations that I have with my patients.
[10:45] my little side psychic.
[10:45] Like I want you to hear the conversations that I have with my patients.
[10:46] So, you know how better to chart?
[10:48] with my patients.
[10:48] So, you know how better to chart?
[10:48] Maybe you're right.
[10:50] Like maybe we just don't know.
[10:51] We don't we're not going about it like the right way.
[10:52] And what would you guys like?
[10:53] Do you like having MAS in the room?
[10:56] Sometimes we get comfortable with the MA in the room and we banter a lot.
[10:58] And I think that's what makes the Elevate culture a lot of fun.
[11:00] But I really want to know the truth because sometimes that.
[11:02] I feel like you hit the nail on the head because I feel like the number one thing I hear like if you were to like define elevate culture from a client's perspective, right?
[11:03] the truth because sometimes that.
[11:03] I feel like you hit the nail on the head because I feel like the number one thing I hear like if you were to like define elevate culture from a client's perspective, right?
[11:05] Like not from an internal standpoint, they would say I feel like I'm just hanging out as their
[11:06] I feel like you hit the nail on the head because I feel like the number one thing I hear like if you were to like define elevate culture from a client's perspective, right?
[11:07] Like not from an internal standpoint, they would say I feel like I'm just hanging out as their
[11:09] internal standpoint, they would say I feel like I'm just hanging out as their
[11:11] perspective, right?
[11:11] Like not from an internal standpoint, they would say I feel like I'm just hanging out as their
[11:13] internal standpoint, they would say I feel like I'm just hanging out as their
[11:14] they would say I feel like I'm just hanging out as their
[11:16] feel like I'm just hanging out as their friend.
[11:16] friend.
[11:16] Yeah, cuz they are my friends.
[11:18] Cuz I don't go out.
[11:19] don't go out.
[11:19] But also think I go out when they look at my Instagram and I look fun, but I
[11:21] don't go out.
[11:22] These clients are my friends.
[11:24] I tell them about my weekend.
[11:25] I ask what they're doing.
[11:27] Sometimes I live vicariously through them, but their lives are way more fun.
[11:29] you'll like come in the room when we know that it's like appropriate to like, you know, come in
[11:32] and also, you know, talk to my client or vice versa.
[11:33] And then like usually like if I'm going to go in your room or you're going to come in my room, I'm not
[11:35] going to be like super professional because it's you and we're just going to start talking about Lord knows what and
[11:38] then all now we're all just like having fun together and they're once again they're like comfortable.
[11:39] Actually, in the beginning, I came in very professional because I didn't know Tristan that well,
[11:41] like I kind of knew her, but she asked me to come into this business and she quickly actually became my best friend.
[11:42] Did you come to Elevate?
[11:44] Yeah.
[11:45] Like you begged me like in a weird way.
[11:47] Actually, she didn't really beg me, but I'm very rigid and I was just in a place with my life like I have this calendar and
[11:49] Well, tell everybody where were you working before like what did you do?
[12:17] working before like what did you do?
[12:17] I was like, let's give details.
[12:19] was like, let's give details.
[12:19] I actually did interventional cardiology as an NPI.
[12:22] used to work as a nurse at Tampa General and then I went into interventional cardiology and I'm very vain and I used to do Botox and lasers and Julia is who actually works at Elevate.
[12:33] She's an injector implant city and she did everything for me and I was like why am I busting my ass running around the hospital and these [ __ ] are looking prettier every day and I got to pay for this [ __ ] Like what the [ __ ]
[12:44] Yeah. Yeah.
[12:45] Like I was like if I'm going to do this I'm going to just I might as well do this right now.
[12:49] I took a pay cut. like I was making more money and I worked at a corporate because it's very hard to get in this industry.
[12:55] Like I think you had to work at a plastic surgeon's office which you'll typically have to take a pay cut if you came from like a hospital nurse practitioner.
[13:02] I think every nurse practitioner I know took a pay cut.
[13:04] Yeah. Mhm. But if it's your dream job like you're willing to do it because you know in the long run you're hopefully going to I mean if you're really good like you can make I don't actually know this like so did you like go did you apply to other places?
[13:14] Do you only apply to
[13:15] No, usually Image. It's just Idol image.
[13:17] No, usually Image. It's just Idol image.
[13:17] That goes back to the confidence I have.
[13:19] That goes back to the confidence I have.
[13:21] Just like in college, I only applied to one college.
[13:22] I was like, "No, I'm making it."
[13:22] But like what? Why? Why I image?
[13:24] But like what? Why? Why I image?
[13:26] Because I got a lot of advice from people that they say if you haven't had experience in this industry.
[13:28] I did cardiology.
[13:29] I have no way to inject Botox or units or this and that.
[13:31] Botox or units or this and that.
[13:33] Um they said you usually want to go to corporate because they have like an area that teaches you.
[13:34] corporate because they have like an area that teaches you.
[13:36] And I adise that we like kind of tell people.
[13:38] like kind of tell people.
[13:39] Yeah.
[13:41] You have to start from the bottom.
[13:43] And Ideal Image actually has a great like educational program.
[13:45] They make you master one thing before they graduate you to the next thing.
[13:47] master one thing before they graduate you to the next thing.
[13:48] And it's a nice like stepping stone.
[13:50] And then back to Julia.
[13:53] Um we were at her bridal shower.
[13:54] bridal shower.
[13:55] Her bridal shower.
[13:56] Bridal shower
[13:59] and this place is pitch quiet like only Julia's opening presents or something like this.
[14:01] like this.
[14:02] Next you on like a piano like stare.
[14:04] Our kids are there.
[14:04] Hey our kids are there.
[14:06] My kids running.
[14:08] I was like what? We got to be quiet.
[14:09] Like are you like a [ __ ] kid right now? what are you doing?
[14:11] Do you want to come work for me?
[14:13] I'm like, no, I just had a baby.
[14:16] Like, no.
[14:17] And she's like, what? You just got to come and sit down with me.
[14:17] I was like, have lunch with me.
[14:18] with me.
[14:18] I was like, have lunch with me.
[14:20] Can you just shut up?
[14:20] Let's talk about it.
[14:20] Let's >> fine, Tristan.
[14:20] Fine.
[14:23] And I think I like maybe 15 minutes later, like, so and then you started talking like numbers
[14:26] and how her schedule is.
[14:27] And then she pulled up her schedule, too.
[14:29] Oh, that Oh, the same day.
[14:29] >> Trying to show me.
[14:31] I'm like, I'm not focused right now.
[14:33] My kid is like, look how cute our kids are.
[14:34] Like, just leave me alone.
[14:36] Fine.
[14:36] Sure.
[14:36] And like And usually I'll just be like a yes, ma'am.
[14:39] But then she really did follow through and she's like, "Hey, you want to go to lunch?"
[14:41] And I'm just like, "No, I don't got time to talk to you.
[14:43] >> Where do we go? What do we do?"
[14:45] >> And my husband, I was like, "This, she won't leave me alone."
[14:47] Mind you, back to Tristan.
[14:49] >> I've only hung out with her socially a couple times
[14:51] prior to us working together.
[14:53] We were friends.
[14:54] We were >> I connected with her at like a party, but like I didn't really know her other
[14:57] than >> I came across like old pictures and I find you and I'm like,
[15:00] >> I'm like, "How did I not member?"
[15:04] Okay.
[15:04] So, that's a perfect example of like the string theory and how like timing.
[15:07] It all matters about timing.
[15:09] >> Oh, it was timing all the way because >> we were any other's lives for a while, but the timing was not meant to be because we didn't I didn't stand out to you.
[15:16] >> Many instances we were in pictures.
[15:17] I'm like, I don't even remember you.
[15:19] like, I don't even remember you.
[15:20] I know.
[15:20] I know.
[15:21] Like actually like
[15:22] and now if we're at a party, we probably don't leave each other alone.
[15:23] don't leave each other alone.
[15:23] Well, I still don't leave you alone.
[15:25] Well, I still don't leave you alone.
[15:25] That's what I'm saying.
[15:26] That's what I'm saying.
[15:26] Like now it's like but back then it's like we weren't even interested.
[15:27] like but back then it's like we weren't even interested.
[15:28] even interested.
[15:28] No, I don't know how you weren't memorable.
[15:30] No, I don't know how you weren't memorable.
[15:30] Like I I literally You're more important than my husband sometimes.
[15:32] memorable.
[15:32] Like I I literally You're more important than my husband sometimes.
[15:33] more important than my husband sometimes.
[15:33] like
[15:34] sometimes.
[15:34] like
[15:34] so it's just funny but then
[15:36] so it's just funny but then
[15:36] and I'm so memorable.
[15:38] and I'm so memorable.
[15:38] Hello.
[15:38] Hello.
[15:38] I just really think it had to do with the timing.
[15:39] I just really think it had to do with the timing.
[15:39] Like it wasn't meant to be the time that we were supposed to hang out.
[15:41] the timing.
[15:41] Like it wasn't meant to be the time that we were supposed to hang out.
[15:43] the time that we were supposed to hang out.
[15:43] out.
[15:43] And then my husband is very supportive and he's like just go and I went and I'm a numbers girl.
[15:45] And then my husband is very supportive and he's like just go and I went and I'm a numbers girl.
[15:47] and he's like just go and I went and I'm a numbers girl.
[15:47] Like if you know us in this business
[15:49] a numbers girl.
[15:49] Like if you know us in this business
[15:50] this business
[15:50] so I talked numbers which is not me.
[15:52] so I talked numbers which is not me.
[15:52] Lesie must have made me do that.
[15:53] Lesie must have made me do that.
[15:53] I'm her husband.
[15:57] I'm her husband.
[15:57] I joke that she loves me so much because I am her husband.
[15:59] me so much because I am her husband.
[15:59] Yeah.
[15:59] And a girl version.
[16:00] Yeah.
[16:00] And a girl version.
[16:00] Yeah.
[16:02] Yeah.
[16:02] So like her part is like the creative side and this and that, but I'm such like a logistics logic person.
[16:04] creative side and this and that, but I'm such like a logistics logic person.
[16:04] Like
[16:06] such like a logistics logic person.
[16:06] Like don't get me creative.
[16:07] don't get me creative.
[16:07] Like my brain doesn't do that.
[16:10] doesn't do that.
[16:10] Maybe in your face, but
[16:10] I'm numbers.
[16:12] I'm numbers.
[16:12] Like numbers don't lie.
[16:13] Yeah.
[16:13] Like
[16:13] so what did I show you?
[16:14] so what did I show you?
[16:14] You showed me your schedule and how it works and
[16:17] You showed me your schedule and how it works and
[16:18] works and
[16:18] with the commission%
[16:20] with the commission.
[16:22] I was like usually what I'll do for.
[16:23] I will say she's a great boss.
[16:25] If you really wanted to hear about elevate culture, it brings her back to a great boss.
[16:29] She is not about this is my business and I want to succeed.
[16:31] She is truly really good to her employees and when she show for you to succeed, right?
[16:35] Like if you're succeed then the whole business.
[16:39] Exactly. You're very open with what things cost and as an equal technically like I know what you purchase these things for and I know what you have to put in a front for a business.
[16:48] But you're a unicorn because a lot of people would see like those things, right?
[16:52] like the cost of goods and they would see maybe if you're doing I mean commission scales and you could do a loan people don't realize but what I'm saying is like people if they see those things from an employes perspective they're like wait a minute like I'm there's a lot of money left on the table that I'm not getting because they're getting more than I am but like you also have headaches every night.
[17:13] but you exactly you realize what that there's so much more that goes into it than just like a simple markup on a product like it's like like you said marketing costs rent like other
[17:22] marketing costs rent like other additional staff like just like support.
[17:24] additional staff like just like support staff that aren't like providers.
[17:26] staff that aren't like providers.
[17:27] So that's she whined and dyed me like she always does because she's so fancy.
[17:30] I love her.
[17:32] She's actually really escalated me.
[17:33] Yeah.
[17:34] I'm always like I'll pay for the bill.
[17:38] But honestly, not because I am trying to her work daddy, but she's
[17:41] I just because I feel like that's my way of taking care of people.
[17:43] Yeah.
[17:45] In a way.
[17:46] Not like to buy them.
[17:47] That sounded silly.
[17:48] Like it's more of just like
[17:50] No, you're fancy.
[17:51] Well, one it was a work it was a work.
[17:53] So technically she called me twice in a row to demand what hotel we stayed at.
[17:55] Like she's super fancy.
[17:57] Like I could never make a decision like that.
[18:00] But what I will tell you is and she don't care about the room which is fun though.
[18:02] But I'm just like I want to do that.
[18:05] I'm fun which you will learn.
[18:06] I Okay.
[18:09] I have to learn.
[18:09] This is what she teases me on.
[18:11] She has to get she goes because if we if we try to go out in Tampa it's usually like
[18:15] No, it's not my standard.
[18:17] I'm I'm out.
[18:19] Like I'm like I got to go home because I got to I got to inject.
[18:20] You're like running to your car and I'm like, "Okay, I guess I'll be here till 3 alone."
[18:25] I got to inject people's faces the next day.
[18:26] I'm your workhorse.
[18:27] That's true. Usually pick a Thursday.
[18:29] I care about like what happened.
[18:31] That's good. She's never hung over.
[18:33] I love working. Yeah,
[18:34] she does love to work. Oh my god. Tell that story about when we were in um we
[18:36] were in Orlando for the Saiton event.
[18:38] We went to like the like laser event that they do there.
[18:40] What is it called?
[18:41] The Saiton event. How does this go into working?
[18:44] We went to the SaitTon event. We went early, Yumi and Julia, and we went to the pool first.
[18:47] The guys were golfing all day and we had so much fun at the pool.
[18:53] This is where work friendship gets
[18:54] but the point of the story. Yeah.
[18:55] It's like how do we balance the two?
[18:57] I just think we have respect to each other.
[18:58] It's that simple. Like you respect me and like what I do with the business and
[19:02] I respect like you as trying just to like make as much money as you can with the elevate and
[19:06] I'm like I want to see you succeed. Like that's like the simplest answer of why our friendship works, right?
[19:10] But where does Orlando come into the scene?
[19:13] I was I'm going to be able to get back to it.
[19:14] It's because you were saying like I'm just a worker and I love to work and
[19:18] the guy the guy that sent me this guy like Paul was.
[19:22] Yes. We met this guy and he was like so
[19:24] Yes.
[19:24] We met this guy and he was like so nice.
[19:25] Honestly, nice.
[19:25] Honestly, her dream is probably never work again.
[19:27] Her dream is probably never work again.
[19:27] Her elev is going to be so successful that she works at home because Leslie, she always has to work.
[19:34] Yeah.
[19:34] I'm still going to like be but no, I really do love injecting and I actually told you this.
[19:39] for jumping all over the place that I went down to one day a week over the summer phone calls go.
[19:43] It's like and then you wonder why it's like, "Oh my god, I'm late to work.
[19:45] I got to get out the [ __ ]
[19:48] There's totally other reasons for that.
[19:50] Yeah.
[19:50] But anyway, so it's like
[19:53] I went down to one day a week and then I did that a lot over the summer for multiple reasons.
[19:56] Like one because we were traveling a lot.
[19:57] too.
[19:57] We hired a new injector who like I always like want to give them just like the biggest opportunity to succeed, which means like I'll take away hours on my end so that they can have like more, you know, push patients on their schedule.
[20:11] If you want to know how to succeed in this business and April, our newer hire actually said this to me recently and I was like, that's what was me.
[20:18] She goes, "I'm really thankful because by Tristan doing like the no wrinkle relaxer,"
[20:22] which was a a big question whether we
[20:24] which was a a big question whether we should take wrinkle relaxer off your
[20:26] should take wrinkle relaxer off your schedule, which we still kind of don't,
[20:28] schedule, which we still kind of don't, >> but she said because some people saw
[20:29] >> but she said because some people saw that she's getting a lot of your
[20:31] that she's getting a lot of your overflow and she feels like she's gotten
[20:33] overflow and she feels like she's gotten the opportunity to just show them her
[20:35] the opportunity to just show them her way. And April's really great.
[20:36] way. And April's really great. >> Yeah. Shout out to Alexa for that one. I
[20:38] >> Yeah. Shout out to Alexa for that one. I mean, Alexa taught me that like she was
[20:40] mean, Alexa taught me that like she was like,
[20:40] like, >> "Oh, Alexa, you going to be you going to
[20:42] >> "Oh, Alexa, you going to be you going to be a a guest?"
[20:45] be a a guest?" Yeah. But she Yeah, she definitely um
[20:48] Yeah. But she Yeah, she definitely um was like, "Yeah, just whenever you hire
[20:49] was like, "Yeah, just whenever you hire somebody, you do get the wrinkle lockers
[20:51] somebody, you do get the wrinkle lockers off your scalp."
[20:51] off your scalp." >> I feel like had faith in me and like at

[20:54] least trusted me enough. >> They almost like cried. They did not

[27:51] >> It's truly not the injector sometimes. And you have to It's why it's important
[27:52] And you have to It's why it's important to stick with the same injector
[27:54] to stick with the same injector >> with a jelly. Well, it's why it's
[27:56] >> with a jelly. Well, it's why it's important to stick with the same
[27:57] important to stick with the same injector because it's hard if you don't
[27:59] injector because it's hard if you don't understand this industry to tell them
[28:00] understand this industry to tell them like, "Hey, with just two more units, my
[28:02] like, "Hey, with just two more units, my lateral brow gets really heavy." Like
[28:04] lateral brow gets really heavy." Like you have to stay light in that zone and
[28:05] you have to stay light in that zone and like just tweaking it. Sometimes you
[28:07] like just tweaking it. Sometimes you learn so much about someone's face.
[28:08] learn so much about someone's face. >> You do. So is not just like here's a
[28:11] >> You do. So is not just like here's a piece of paper. Follow the
[28:12] piece of paper. Follow the >> They'll give you they'll tell you
[28:14] >> They'll give you they'll tell you standardize what's typical, but it is
[28:16] standardize what's typical, but it is not what is typical. like you really
[28:17] not what is typical. like you really cater to the patient and as long as you
[28:20] cater to the patient and as long as you discuss longevity and sometimes if you
[28:22] discuss longevity and sometimes if you can't handle this dose it may not be the
[28:23] can't handle this dose it may not be the true longevity but then you get to still
[28:25] true longevity but then you get to still get the benefits of toxin getting those
[28:27] get the benefits of toxin getting those deep set wrinkles and I do think it's
[28:28] deep set wrinkles and I do think it's beneficial and as long as you know that
[28:31] beneficial and as long as you know that and one time just cuz I dropped her
[28:34] and one time just cuz I dropped her frontalis one time she did her jelly
[28:35] frontalis one time she did her jelly roll and it was probably the worst thing
[28:36] roll and it was probably the worst thing I've ever seen. Oh my god. I look I
[28:38] I've ever seen. Oh my god. I look I should picture even her mother was like

[28:51] was like >> actually every so we have this pocket
[28:53] >> actually every so we have this pocket door this is where we get informal
[28:55] door this is where we get informal between our injections we have this
[28:56] between our injections we have this pocket door and when we don't have
[28:57] pocket door and when we don't have patients I'm like hey
[28:59] patients I'm like hey >> and then during that time period when
[29:01] >> and then during that time period when she did that I would hey oh my god I
[29:04] she did that I would hey oh my god I can't look at you. So then I had to
[29:06] can't look at you. So then I had to explain to every single client why she
[29:08] explain to every single client why she couldn't look at me because I [ __ ] up
[29:10] couldn't look at me because I [ __ ] up my face with the jelly roll injection. I
[29:12] my face with the jelly roll injection. I know. But you literally learn. And now
[29:14] know. But you literally learn. And now and now I promise you I will not ever
[29:17] and now I promise you I will not ever put Botox underneath your eye unless you
[29:19] put Botox underneath your eye unless you are the perfect candidate because
[29:21] are the perfect candidate because honestly that's a hard one to tell if

[29:24] you're a perfect candidate. That is really hard.
[29:25] really hard. >> Like the iris trick, right? Like if your
[29:26] >> Like the iris trick, right? Like if your lower
[29:27] lower >> snap back snap back.
[29:28] >> snap back snap back. >> Yeah.
[29:29] >> Yeah. >> With around a hard crow too. It was for
[29:31] >> With around a hard crow too. It was for me it was the iris trick. Like the lower
[29:33] me it was the iris trick. Like the lower my lower lid sits at the bottom of my
[29:35] my lower lid sits at the bottom of my iris and yours is like you have to
[29:37] iris and yours is like you have to actually pull it down to get there. Like
[29:39] actually pull it down to get there. Like where mine sits already like lower. So I
[29:42] where mine sits already like lower. So I have no room for dropage. But anyways,
[29:45] have no room for dropage. But anyways, >> you could actually use some up because
[29:47] >> you could actually use some up because your natural upper is a lot lower and
[29:49] your natural upper is a lot lower and you got to go up.
[29:50] you got to go up. >> Yeah. I have hooded brows. No, but like
[29:52] >> Yeah. I have hooded brows. No, but like just where your almost at the top of
[29:53] just where your almost at the top of your pupil up like helps you where you
[29:56] your pupil up like helps you where you look where your upper lid is on your
[29:58] look where your upper lid is on your pupil to your iris and then based on
[30:01] pupil to your iris and then based on that level up would be good for you. So
[30:05] that level up would be good for you. So >> up is an eye drop
[30:07] >> up is an eye drop >> commercial.
[30:08] >> commercial. >> It is an eye drop, but it helps you open
