[00:00:00] Because we don't have a lot of people that are cheering us on, let's be honest. So when you do cheer someone else on their journey, when you cheer them on, they see that and they won't forget it. Uh, no. Ooh, that's better, right babe? Yeah.
[00:00:27] She founded an architectural concrete company. He founded a hundred million dollar clothing company. She took the world by storm as a social media star. He took the world by storm as a famous serial entrepreneur. Together we started a business. And had babies. Now we're figuring out the best ways to do both. Join us as we learn from other entrepreneurs going through the same life struggles. As they share their life hacks about success, love, kids. And everything in between.
[00:00:56] Listen to me guys, you'll only hear this once. We rise by lifting others. Quote by Richard Brands. Every woman's success should be an inspiration to another. Strong is when we cheer each other on. Quote by Serena Williams. Welcome to the Entrepreneur Parents Pretty and Punk Podcast. My name is Dan Caldwell. And I'm here with my beautiful wife and co-host.
[00:01:25] Ildiko Ferenzi. And we've got a great podcast for you guys today. And it's really about something that's important, that was important to us. And it should be important for you. And we were talking about, before we got on the podcast, we were talking about, you know, what if, what if somebody would have told Walt Disney that creating Disneyland was a stupid... Well, actually, somebody did tell Walt Disney that... Let's not use the S word.
[00:01:54] It was not a good idea. That starting a park like that, that nobody's going to come or it's not going to work or you're spending too much money. And somebody did tell him that. And luckily he didn't listen. Or what if somebody would have told Elon Musk to not think about going to space or not think about going to Mars? And if this guy wasn't thinking about that, if he wasn't trying... You know, why don't you just stick with PayPal? You just sold PayPal.
[00:02:22] Why don't you just stick to that? Because people don't realize he started, he started this whole idea back in like 2001. And to, I mean, this has been going on for him for a long time. It's been a long time coming. And now we see the fruits of his labor.
[00:02:45] Now he's going to space and docking with the space station and, you know, getting satellites up into space. And who would have thought that this guy who founded PayPal would have been able to do that, would have been able to come up with that idea? How many people would have told him, you don't have what it takes to create something like this? I think it takes a special mindset to let that stuff roll off your back.
[00:03:12] But that's what brings us to this podcast today. But before we get into that... Hey guys, we hope you're enjoying today's episode of the Pretty and Punk Podcast. And if you are and you haven't already hit that like and subscribe button, it just takes a second. It means so much to us because it really helps the podcast get out there to more listeners like you guys. And if you know anybody, it might help and you can send it to them. We really appreciate that too. We also love and appreciate your reviews.
[00:03:41] Even the babies look forward to them every day. If you share this episode on social media today, don't forget to tag us. We want to celebrate you because we know it's not easy being a parent in business. And the way that you juggle things makes you a superhero. That's worth a shout out. Together, we have a community of our personal followers as well. And we just want to put it out there. We want to show everybody that this juggle is possible. And you are our family.
[00:04:10] And we're so proud and grateful to have you a part of this family. So don't forget the sh all the links are below in the show notes. And thank you again. And let's get back. Listen, as entrepreneur parents, we already carry so much. We're building businesses, raising families and striving to create a legacy for our children.
[00:04:35] And too often, instead of a community that lifts each other up, many see competition as jealousy and a lot of expectation to receive without giving. So today, we just want to tap on that. You need to be happy. We all need to be happy for other people that are achieving success, that are doing well.
[00:05:04] Because not only is it going to just create this... Because we don't have a lot of people that are cheering us on. Let's be honest. So when you do cheer someone else on their journey, when you cheer them on, they see that and they won't forget it. And it's also good for you.
[00:05:26] There's some evidence, a Harvard Business Review study that found that leaders who mentor and uplift others are 20% more likely to get promotions and financial success. So that's just a little glimpse of what being positive towards others can do. And sometimes, and this can... I mean, this has happened to me in the past.
[00:05:55] I have to have a strong mindset and I have to be talking myself up. But there's these days when I'm in the messy middle where I feel like giving up. And sometimes it's someone else's words that have brought me to that moment that kept pushing me to follow through on what I'm doing. And I achieved something really big. And I will never forget that person that helped lift me.
[00:06:25] That encouraged you. I know, I mean, think about that, you know, I feel like it's really, how are you supposed to get blessings if you're trying to take down somebody who was just receiving blessings? Yeah, that's just wrong. You know, they did something right, right? Just wrong. And that's even post. That's even later down the road. What about, you know, the person that comes to you and has an idea and is just trying to talk to you?
[00:06:55] Maybe they're not as skilled or they haven't been through as much or they've never been an entrepreneur. They've never started a business. But you don't know where they're going to end up. That's the beautiful thing. And they may be starting out, but they may be leaps and bounds ahead of you later down the road. Yeah, and that's sometimes when it's the hardest. So you can't cut them down. When they're successful like that, right? But you never know. I mean, as an entrepreneur, you think about some of the dumb ideas that have, or that you might think that they're... Oh, don't, let's not say that word. Well, whatever you say. You've got to bleep that out. You might say that they're not...
[00:07:24] Unintelligent ideas, perhaps. Your opinion... That's what I'm saying. Right. It seemed like not a good idea to you. Mm-hmm. And then when they applied it at the right time, because they saw something that maybe you didn't see... You didn't, 100%. I mean, when I was starting my business, I had people, lots of people telling me that the name Tap Out was a stupid name. Oh, geez. Because... Can you bleep these out?
[00:07:54] We don't even use words like this in the house. Who have you been... I'm trying to describe what they said. He had a boys... He had a boys weekend, and he's coming home cussing and using all these crazy words. These aren't our words, I swear. This is the... That rotten apple analogy. Goodness gracious. This is the words they were using. Goodness gracious. And imagine, they're saying this, and their reasoning was, it means to lose. When you say Tap Out, it means that you're losing the fight. I love this. I love this.
[00:08:22] And they're saying that has something to do with, you know, that that's a, that's not a good name because that it means to lose. But we didn't see it like that. We saw the word tap out as meaning, I made you tap out, and that's how you win. That's how you win this fight. And so to us, it was a great name. And so many people knew exactly what it meant. The second you saw it, you knew exactly what it meant when you saw it.
[00:08:49] And that's why we stayed with it. And if we almost didn't, we could have changed the name. And what if we would have changed the name? Then, you know, it would have been different. It would have been a different company altogether. Well, it probably wouldn't have been successful. Who knows? Who knows? But perhaps you're right if you feel that in your gut. And my son just walked in here and he's stroking my face and being so precious.
[00:09:14] So the other thing that I want to bring up for entrepreneurial parents with our children, seeing us cheering on others instead of tearing them down, we're going to raise leaders, not critics. They learn that success multiplies when we work together. And that's a beautiful thing. And that's what we always have to be careful of. When we're having conversations and we're cutting off or cutting down or gossiping about another
[00:09:43] entrepreneur or another person, our children see that. And the key takeaway to that is teaching our children to celebrate others. The wins, instead of feeling threatened by them, by these other people that are doing successful, it's going to set them up for a life of success and strong relationships and not, oh, how come they're doing so much better than me?
[00:10:10] It's having the courage to encourage those people and celebrate their wins and then have a conversation with them after and find out, how can I learn from this person? What can this person teach me? Because what they did is really great. And I find when I was a female in business and doing the things that were expected of me when I was in the
[00:10:39] modeling and I had this swimsuit line and when I was in acting, I really felt that there was a lot of yucky competition. There was a lot of gossip. There was a lot of jealousy. There was a lot of just I remember really weird things happening in the auditioning room. I remember one time something really stuck out. They called my name.
[00:11:05] They'll call your name and they'll say that you're on standby. You're about to go in. You're about to see the big producers, the writer. It's a big thing. You're going in there for an audition. And I remember one of the girls came up to me and looked me in the face and on the body and she just looked me up and down. She said, you don't look that well. Are you okay? But I saw through it. Are you serious?
[00:11:33] Is that how you're going to try to take me out of my game? And it just gave me this surge of energy. And I went in there and I booked it. I nailed it. And they loved me in the room and they said, you got it, but you can't tell anyone because there's a big lineup of people that were out there.
[00:11:52] So it just goes to show that you have to be really strong sometimes on your own, but wouldn't it have been nicer if she would have said something nice? So that was the struggles that I saw when I was surrounded by females. I'm never going to be that woman. I'm always going to lift the women up around me.
[00:12:15] But when I started the architectural concrete company, I was surrounded by incredibly powerful men. And what was beautiful is that there was no animosity. There was no games. There was no weird stuff going on. And I really enjoyed that business.
[00:12:36] And because I was so young, I really felt that fatherly energy around me that was very protective and encouraging and mentorship-like. So I really loved going into business in that niche, in the construction industry.
[00:12:58] It was a bunch of older Italians and European men that were very, very strong and could be very scary, but they were smart and just so driven. I learned so much in that industry. And I forever vow to be the woman that lifts others up forever, forever. You know, it's got to be important for your kids too. They need that.
[00:13:24] If you're an adult, they're looking to you and sometimes they might come up with ideas. And I think, you know, and just going back to switching back to adults again, if you talk about, you know, other people that you might know, acquaintances or whatever, you'll never hear a successful person ever put down somebody's idea. Yes. They'll never do it. They'll just never do it.
[00:13:50] If you go ask a, if you go ask a, if you ask like your friends, you ask people who are, who maybe are like equal to you or less than you, maybe they, when, if you ever ask them, you know, if I can do this, it's a 50, 50 chance you'll get, you know, you'll get that friend that says, Oh yeah, that would be awesome. And then there's always that guy who's going to say, Oh, that's stupid. Oh, that'll never work. That's not going to happen. And that's a silly idea. How about that?
[00:14:19] That's not how I speak. I know, but there's children. We don't talk about, well, tell them to plug their ears real quick. Cause we're talking, we're talking men stuff here. And I just think it's a, I think that, you know, you have to be aware that it depends on who you're asking. If you ask a successful person, they'll never tell you, you can't do something because they've seen too many crazy things.
[00:14:45] They've seen people, you know, with crazy ideas, make it in their ideas, turn into these billion dollar ideas. They've seen it happen. You think outside of the box and then good things happen. And well, that's the scarcity mindset versus the abundance mindset, right? Jealousy comes from a belief that if someone else is winning, you're losing. And that's just not true. There's enough for everybody to go around. You don't need to be that person. And, oh, go ahead.
[00:15:15] Well, I was just going to say, but you know, going back to kids, that may not be that. I see that's true for adults, for sure. For other people, maybe that they're jealous of or whatever. But for kids, it may be a different reason. It may be trying to protect them or protect their feelings because you think that, oh, that I don't think that idea will work. But you don't realize that maybe you're killing their dream a little bit when they're thinking this way.
[00:15:41] And you got to understand that that might not even be the final idea. They may voice an opinion or voice an idea. And you may, too, as an adult, you may voice an idea that may not be totally flushed out yet. And you're still figuring it out. And by the time it goes to market, it'll change and be a totally different idea because you've worked through that yourself. And if you give constructive, I mean, there is a way to give constructive criticism. In a kind way, yeah.
[00:16:10] Like, you know, maybe I wouldn't do it quite like that. But that's up to you. I mean, you could do however you want to do it. Maybe if I was to do it, I might do it like this and I'd probably do that. But, you know, who's to say that would work either? I'm just telling you how I might do it. But I would do you. Do what you think is right. Now, I've just given them an idea. Because God gave them that idea, not you. Yeah, you don't know why that idea has come the way it's come. Or maybe he was meant to ask you a question like that.
[00:16:37] And you were meant to give him a little bit of advice because you've been there before. I really, truly believe if we want our children to be grateful, secure, and confident, we can't model jealousy. Or we can't cut down things so easily in front of them. It's just jealousy, gossip, that stuff. There's no place for that as parents. We're grown up.
[00:16:59] And if our children hear us talk negatively about successful people, they're going to grow up believing that success is something to fear or resent. That's what we want. We're raising tomorrow's leaders. They have enough to worry about when they grow up. So they need to be well equipped.
[00:17:17] Now, the other thing that I really love, and we did this growing up, you never, ever, I'm going to say it again, ever, just go ask for something without bringing value. I see so many people do this. You know, can you share my new business on your social media? But they don't even really know us. They haven't.
[00:17:47] It's just, sometimes it blows my mind how someone can just be so entitled. That's not what you do. That's not how you do it. That's not how you're going to get it done. Of course, congratulations. It's courageous. But it's wrong. People aren't going to remember you that way. They're going to be like, oh, this person wants something for nothing.
[00:18:11] Or they're going to come at you and try to sell you some high ticket thing or charge you for something that you're not even sure you need. What is it going to do for you? You're going out of your way to share their company that may not even be of value to your audience. Bring something. When we would always give, give, give, my mom would make note of the bank managers.
[00:18:40] Say they were having another child. We would create a beautiful gift basket. Or my mom was amazing chef. She would cook something for them. If someone in the family, she got wind of someone being ill and we would go and we would make these care packages and give, give, give, give. Just because she was such a kind and lovely person and we would give.
[00:19:05] And then all of a sudden things kind of fell into a roll when they heard that we needed something or we were starting a new business. They would give back in their own way. And that's how the momentum of kindness happens. So I think Gary Vee talks about it too. I think it's like, what? Jab, jab, love hook. Why did I even bring it up if I can't talk about it? Jab, jab, love hook. Yeah, yeah. That's right.
[00:19:35] That's right. The jab, jab. These are important. Meaning give them, give, give, and then ask. And then ask. It's just a way of, you know. It's very entitled and selfish to just ask for things. And not just that. If you're going to go ask somebody even their opinion, you may want to, you know, if they're an experienced entrepreneur that maybe is an acquaintance or something, you first might want to flush out how you can help them, help them maybe do something for them, give them something, give them whatever.
[00:20:05] Or even tag. And then ask them the idea. Say they have a podcast or say they have a business. Yeah, just share one of their ideas. This is how when I was an influencer, when I was doing the modeling and people would say, how did you, how did you land that deal? Well, I would go buy their product and I would buy their product again and again. And I would share it. And I would share it for free because I really did love them, loved them.
[00:20:33] And I would authentically share it, talk about it. And then they would come to me and say, hey, do you want to do a collaboration with us? And it could go up to $5,000, $10,000. That's how you make those deals. You don't just ask, ask, ask. You give. For example, do you want to be on a podcast? You're sharing the podcast. You know everything about the podcast. You're sharing it in your story.
[00:21:03] You love this podcast. You're sharing, sharing, sharing. Chances are you don't even need to ask to be on the podcast if you're in that niche. They're going to notice. Yeah. Or whatever business it is. These are just some examples that I'm throwing out. Before you go to ask them what they think about your idea. And, you know, you never know what they're going to say. You always have to be mindful in your own way.
[00:21:32] I don't think that anybody who has been successful is going to deliver you... Dreadful news. Bad information is going to be too critical. I would say it's probably the best way to answer that. They're not going to be too critical of your idea because they just aren't like that. They've seen too many amazing things happen.
[00:21:53] I know when one of my top sales guys at Top Out was this guy. And I don't know. We were friends. And I would talk to him a lot at events. And, you know, he was a really smart guy and a great sales guy. One of our top sales guys. And he ended up founding Melon Hats. I don't know if you've heard of it before. But they're probably one of the top hat companies in the industry right now.
[00:22:21] And I don't know if I ever said anything. I don't remember if he ever asked me anything. But I know he was a smart guy. And I know we did have important conversations together. I don't remember. I wish I could remember if he asked me something like that about starting this hat company. But he started this amazing hat company called Melon. And now it's hugely successful. I saw they were just opening another store. They have their own stores. That's great. And, you know, he's doing great.
[00:22:51] And I just, I hope I never am critical of somebody other than when it pertains to me. If somebody asked me a question about, hey, what do you think about doing this together? Then I'm going to give a different type of opinion. But I'm going to reserve any criticism I have of somebody's idea if they come to me. If it's for them. Because that's a blessing. That's a dream. Something that God put on their heart. And that's something that they're chasing. That's their dream.
[00:23:20] I'm not meant to see it. That's their dream to have. And that's their adventure. Their journey that they have. And maybe I don't see it the same way they do. Yeah. And maybe I'll give them a little bit of like, maybe I would do something like this. Or you could, you know, what would make that even better is maybe something like this. But I would surely, it would come with a clause that says, hey, you also don't have to listen to me. Because this is your idea. And you had it. And this is maybe your journey to have.
[00:23:48] And I would support them in any way. And I'm happy for them. And I even, you know, what's hardest to be, it's hardest to be happy for people when you're not in a good place. Yeah. When maybe you're not, maybe you just had a failure. And they're coming to ask you about their idea. Yeah. And you want to be happy for them. And you need to be happy at that time. That's the time when you really need to dig deep and be happy for their wins.
[00:24:13] And also, be honest in the way of if they're genuinely asking you for advice. And they're telling you what their plans are. Or I'm always happy when someone's excited to get into a business or they have a new idea. I love that. But I'm also going to be honest.
[00:24:38] So, I don't know, just for example, say they want to start a green powder, green juice, a healthy juice. And they are sourcing off Alibaba or one of those marketplaces that are quite inexpensive. I would definitely say, listen, you could do it that way. But you could also get into a lot of trouble doing it that way if it were me.
[00:25:06] But for me, it's very important to do everything really high quality, get it tested. I've dealt with illness in the past. So, for me, it is very important to be transparent with my ingredients. I know it's going to cost more. But for me, I would get everything tested.
[00:25:30] Because where you're sourcing it, and I know you think it's a great deal and you can buy a lot more. But it's cut with heavy metals and poisons and things that can really harm pregnant women, children, families. So, just I would definitely look into that. Do your due diligence. Your candies, it could be really harming someone if you've got the colors and stuff.
[00:25:55] Because I don't want them to come to me later and say, you told me I had a great idea. But the fruits that I was using was the most pesticide-ridden thing or pesticide-ridden whatever it is that's in there. Product and it came back to haunt them. Say there's strawberries in there or cherries. And those carry the highest toxicities in there. And it's tested.
[00:26:21] And then they're going to find out later when they get a complaint and they're in the paper. I have to be so transparent with what I know. If I didn't know, then I couldn't advise them. But I am in that industry where I'm around a lot of biohackers. I'm around a lot of doctors. And if I don't share everything that I know just because I don't want to hurt someone's feelings,
[00:26:45] but yet we could be hurting hundreds or thousands of people, you know, if it's not honest. Or say, for example, you're dealing with a high-luxury sweatshirt brand and they want to say that it's designed and created here in America or Canada, but it's actually not. And you could tell them where to source it so it is that way, but they just don't feel like doing whatever it is.
[00:27:13] Just really be honest with the knowledge that you have. I know we're getting a little off topic, but just be so honest. Give them good advice. Give them honest and good advice. If they want to do it anyway. But not be critical in the way that you're applying your own opinion into their... No, no, no, no, no, no. On their dream. Kind and loving because they'll figure out a way. A hundred percent. They'll figure out a way, right? They can make friends with farmers. They can make...
[00:27:43] They'll figure it out. Just be honest about the advice that you're giving and truly, truly be happy for them. Yeah. I always tell myself, I want to be genuinely happy even for my enemies. You know, even for people... Oh, a hundred percent. Even for people that... That's a blessing. Yes. That I don't... I may not... I mean, I guess if I really, really, really had a problem with them, I'd try not to think about them enough. But if I... I don't have any ones. I have a couple of those. But, you know, most of them I just... I just...
[00:28:12] Even for people that I don't see eye to eye with, I am excited for them when they win. I think anybody in this industry, it's like... You know, it's like racers. You know, you're racing. It's like, of course you wanted to win. Yeah. But you're always thinking, there's going to be another race, and I'm going to race again, and I'm going to win next time. And there's enough... But I'm happy that they won. Just think, there's enough for everybody. You don't need to be... You don't need to be jealous. You don't need to think negative.
[00:28:39] Because here's the thing, and it's in the good book. If you think negative and wish negative on others, it's going to come back to you. Some of that gut's going to come back at you. That's exactly what I was going to say. I'm affected by my mother's prayers, my grandmother's prayers, my family's prayers, and I am the daughter of God up above. So I heard some rumors when I was really ill.
[00:29:06] Just some people were saying really negative, mean things about me. And I just was... I told my mom, because I was really sad that I heard this through the grapevine, and she said, don't worry about it. Your father in heaven will take care of it. You don't even have to worry about it. They'll get it back in some way or another. Don't even wish. Don't get vindictive. Don't wish revenge. It all falls into place. Don't even worry about it. Let it roll off your back.
[00:29:36] So if someone says you have a bad idea, or they try to hurt your feelings, or try to hurt you in any way, just remember your father in heaven has your back. And the other thing about supporting others in business, remember Proverbs 27, 17, as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. So when we support others, we grow sharper and stronger and better. Right? I love that one. So what's some of the things we want to do?
[00:30:05] So like, I mean, I just want to remember that, if we leave you with anything, it's, you know, just this, that we always want to be champions for other people. Like we want other people to succeed. When they succeed, we succeed in some ways. Just the fact that you know them, or somehow maybe learn something from their story, should make you want to be happy for their success. Because you're going to, that's going to come back to you somehow. Yeah. So, so somehow you want to,
[00:30:34] you just want, you never know where that support's going to come back to you. If you're just happy for their success. And also you, you want to be okay with, you know, celebrating other people's success. Yeah. Yeah. Just, I love that. Celebrating other people's success. It's a sign that success is possible for you to bring them some beautiful flowers. They're launching, you know, some kind of company, bring their favorite flowers or bring some beautiful flowers that you love.
[00:31:03] It's those little things, bring them a bottle of sparkling, non-alcoholic champagne, or I mean, you know, whatever it is, maybe they're drinking, maybe not, maybe a little Dom Perignon, whatever. I mean, I used to bring champagne to my, my casting agents when I would book something or really fancy.
[00:31:26] There's this really fancy restaurant in Vancouver that Il Giordino's and we would give them a gift card when I, I book something. And I just, I feel like, or, or when we'd book something through the concrete company or you and I, when we, it just to, what's it called? Mastros, just those little things. It's not a big deal, but it just shows appreciation.
[00:31:56] So if they're doing something great, give them something, celebrate that people will never forget those little gestures. I promise you, or make something yourself. My mom was an incredible cook and baker. She'd bake incredible Hungarian things that you can't just buy in a store. People don't forget that. There's more work behind that than if you just give them a gift card. And, and I think, and that brings us to, we want to encourage other people,
[00:32:25] like just encourage other people. Don't discourage what they're doing. Don't tear them down. Yeah. It's so easy to say, oh, that'll never work or yeah, that's not a good idea. I mean, why do you say that? That may not be a good idea to you. It doesn't mean it's not a good idea for them. Yes. You know, so don't be discouraging. Don't, I mean, what if people would have hated on some of those dreams, like other people, like we talked about, you know, told him, told Edison,
[00:32:52] he's never going to be able to figure out this light bulb thing. You know, it's like, you don't know what they're, we'd be using candles right now. Probably. Probably. And you, as I said before, you don't know what they're struggling with. They might be in that messy middle where they feel like giving up. Don't be the person that made them give up. That would be horrible. Because a lot of times, right when you feel like giving up and things are tough and things are, uh, just, there's this,
[00:33:19] this gritty weight on top of you. It's usually the moment when your blessings are about to come through and the enemy's already fighting you. The enemy's already fighting them in their head. So just be that person that blesses them. Bring them the blessings. I love that. Just like Jesus. Be like Jesus. That's great. Lift them up. And that's how, and including your spouse, when you guys are together, be happy for your spouse when she has that success or he has that success. Well,
[00:33:49] in our community, let them know they're doing a great job. But I know sometimes it's, it's tough at times when you're building your businesses and your family businesses. But I, I just, I, I, I saw one of my friends just now. They were, they were doing something online with their family and they have their kids involved. And I, I cuddle everyone around. I'm like, babe, look, look what they're doing. And then I grabbed the kids. I'm like, look what they're doing. This is so exciting to me. It's not like, oh my gosh,
[00:34:19] we got competition. No, this is our community. And, and we pray for them behind their backs. And even within the family, sometimes you're going to have individual success within a family where, you know, your wife gets this, you know, gets a great podcast or, you know, gets on a great podcast or your, or your husband gets something, you know, it's like, it's like, be happy for them and let them know that you're happy for them and make a big deal about it. You know, make it, make it something special. Yeah.
[00:34:49] I think, I love that. I love it. I definitely, I love to bring you guys in on the journey. I never like to leave them out. I think just with everything that's happened in the last little bit, I definitely love the journey. Like, just like when, when I grew up and I love, I love how my friends, they, they bring their whole family. It's just so beautiful. Anyway. Thank you guys for listening to this week's podcast.
