[40:31] He was done using me my money was gone and that was his way of getting rid of me.
[40:37] Jesus that's the first time I talked about that one yeah low self-esteem is a bitch.
[40:45] Even though like got through all the drug addiction and everything else up and that was like that was a pivotal moment for me so I've had quite a few pivotal moments in my life.
Still was dealing with self-esteem problems like I said this is I was about doing math is it was like probably like six months after being a full-time artist so,
we're talking 2015 like spring,
spring 2015 right so I was about six months or so about being a full-time artist the job I'd left it actually was dating a guy from there.
When I went full-time he.
[41:24] Twas
I'm trying to think of the right word.
He saw it right I had low self-esteem I like I know I was in my world and I don't gotten better with the welding well you definitely helped but I still was suffering from low self-esteem.
[41:43] And because of my childhood because of all that I went through.
I've just always wanted to be loved one being one of the sit-in wanted to be and so I took that into relationships I had a bad relationship after bad relationship after bad relationship and he was no different,
saw that I cashed in my money and had dollar signs in his eyes and played me like a fiddle,
looking back I like all these signs that like you don't give a flying right to ask about me.
But my need to be loved was so great that I ignored all these things and he pretty much took.
Large chunk on this like I said I've never even talked about this talk a large chunk of the money that I had saved for my business and he's like,
you can move in with me help me pay for this apartment about like we're going to make this apartment above my garage I have a two car garage you can rent your house up to your son.
And then your mortgage is covered there you can have a bigger place to work in and we'll have an apartment together and so Hook Line & Sinker that's exactly what I did is I rented my house out to my son and his then girlfriend.
Moved my younger son with me up to another town another school district put my son in another school.
[42:58] Physically help them build this apartment above his garage and pretty much when it was done he had enough and just like literally picked me up and put me into the windshield of a car,
and there was something I said there was signs like we we bickered back and forth there was definitely some egg roll.
[43:18] Furball.
Confrontations that we had I split up with them twice and like both trying to keep out to me like crying it was just like I'm so sorry and I just,
such a fucking soccer and like I said that is soccer just I just wanted to believe him so bad just want to be loved,
so weak after that relationship I'm just like like I said my son welcome me back and like I said I was renting it out to them like he's like you just you live here there's no questions you know he's like.
This is your house you live here and we'll just work it out like we've all been together ever since like we just.
We like it this way like just keep our family real close but had it not been for him I would lost everything he helped me with my bills.
[44:06] You know like help me get back on my feet and help me pay the mortgage on my house so I wouldn't lose that butt.
Yeah I stayed single for a while in my new role as one and done like if I break up with someone I'll never ever go back out with him again you just don't and.
I've gotten farther I've gone I guess and between my business about relationships.
[44:27] I've learned to patients I've also learned to watch people really closely and if there's any sign whatsoever of.
It's been crashing or like nasty attitude that gone like I don't play around with it so I've been single for quite a while I did date someone.
[44:45] Six six months ago for a short time but like quickly was just like at like,
it was good until it wasn't as soon as it wasn't done I'll happily stay single for a while I asked him to make sure that I know now because I love myself and I didn't before and so it was easy to fall into traps,
I've been calling traps how did you fall in love with yourself how did you get there station there's something to be said for that when my ex and I separated I spent three years single.
And it's figuring out who you are in falling in love with yourself it's owning it.
[45:23] When we when we say falling in love with ourselves Like It's associated with selfishness.
[45:31] But it's not it's the opposite of it actually cuz you can't give what you don't have so if someone wants me to be healthy and whole in a relationship.
I need love and respect myself before I can give that to anyone else,
and if I'm going to go in a relationship I want love and respect and that's what I tell my business partners,
anyone I get into business with it's just like this is a win-win or it doesn't happen same thing with a podcast same thing with anything I do if it's not a win-win I'm not involved.
I actually had a company.
The company reach out to me two years ago that wanted to sponsor me they sent me Product they're a phenomenal company like really truly love them.
[46:15] But decided after I think six months I'm like I can't do you guys Justice like and they're the ones are like we wanted I'm like I just I can't promote your product.
Naturally in a way that like I respect the product but it just wasn't that I didn't feel like I was giving as much as I was getting and so I respectfully back out of that,
and like they were appreciative of the fact that I'm just like you know if I can,
if I can't give you what I'm telling you like I can't know my business is so good today is because of that that's all you all over whether it's someone is buying my art or buying a book like if you're not getting the value then I'll happily give you your money back you know I'm saying like.
If it's not a win-win I'm not involved so would you say the last for like 5 years is when you really exploded as far as my business yeah.
[47:04] Yes and in the beginning with all due respect and it is what it is it was fuck you fuel the beginning that guy that beat me off
part of my.
[47:15] Need to grow my business was fought here I'll show you what you're missing out on and you should have treated me better,
and look at what you got huh chuckling oh you're missing it's not healthy that's a great phrase fuck you fuel I feel like that's going to be the title of my next book it really should Barbie
there's a power in that it's using no and it's using anyone that's ever like have a grocery list of,
men that have treated me so disrespected now and listen here we're going to pull this closure.
I attracted them into my life so therefore if you're tracking people in your life that are negative you need to look at yourself because you can't kill us,
say that I hope people hate to hear that but it's just like I really had to take a look no I got you,
what is it about you darling that you are attracting these kind of people in your life we need to talk about this,
I told you you know it's like and like being honest like right my honesty.
Was my salvation because when I was really to have like these deeply on his conversations with myself why are you attracted to a man that's going to treat you like this like what have you been doing what have you been thinking,
that was for my superpower was,
now for a long time with tracking these people in my life so I realized like you're really helped me tremendously actually was.
[48:42] I went out to a build with bogey from All Girls Garage she did this Frame Up restoration of 57 Chevy pickup truck she had like this hairbrained scheme.
To bring women up from all over the country together to have this bill the Montage Montage I was so freaking blessed to be a part of that,
I basically hounded her and Miller until I got someone I was like I need to be involved with this because my background and I mechanics,
I went out there and I spent upon slipping in her garage and it's a really nice garage so it's not it's not you know like oh my God you're like no I got the punk house yeah yeah.
The happy side blessings I went out there to help build a truck and to go back into the automotive industry on my terms and leave on my terms,
instead of how I ended up leaving which was sexism and frustration I want to go back in but the blessing of that was I spent a month with bogey,
side by side working 16 and 18 hour days pretty much seven days a week on this for a month that.
[49:48] She mentioned and I don't know she realized at the time she was mentoring me but this woman blessed me was so many Pearls of Wisdom.
And one of my favorite things was she I asked him like how are you going to how did you go from this woman built her business this entire life.
Just her Legacy,
from her driveway for two years she worked in a driver like I can play about how small my shop is cheap work in her driveway I'm like how did you do that how did you.
How are you building this Empire that you're building and she says self-help she says I went and got she said I went and I paid for courses.
To improve myself and I'm like okay like Tada so I already had was I already reading the books.
Again my timeline I believe I'd already started meeting a couple of self-help books do you remember what they were.
[50:45] Yes I still have a mall I have a library I'm an Avid Reader I highly,
highly Advocate reading and if you don't like to read or if you're not good at reading,
audiobooks to love audible they're not paying me but damn I'm all about it Audible and if you can't do honorable then go on and look at the videos because they literally have one of my favorite things on YouTube are animated book reviews.
And you can get like a 200-page book like knock down to six minutes of little cartoons and we'll tell you the story of the book and it's a keeper oh wow,
run there I'm telling you like Autumn if you guys want the links like let me know how heavily send you links to my favorites I may hit you up with that Barbie because I'm curious oh man,
I have a I have a library books like I have a core probably like 12 that I can't get rid of and I literally again and again and again.
Because it's just so.
Good just so amazing I actually just silence is a key by Ryan holiday Ryan holiday is my probably my newest favorite author but between him and Robert Greene and my two favorites.
But the first book that I read in the one is really just.
[51:58] Started everything on my journey for self improvement was secrets to the millionaire mind that's a good one.
Bihar backers so I actually.
Drop the book and had to borrow the 50 cents for the book for my mom it's a library book sale because that's where I was in my artistic Journey was borrowing 50 cents for Block,
actually for a dollar I got two books at that book sale the other ones called rhinoceros success by Scott Alexander,
that was a brilliant book because it uses analogies and I'm all about like I'm a visual visual learner so much,
they've got adorable cartoon sort of actually friends with the author today.
Books I thought library book sale literally it's amazing that almost
I got the secrets of the millionaire mind because I want to be a millionaire like this is one of my goals like when I got into art it was to make our.
Like that's it I had no idea that there's money and art I was shocked when I found out how much money there is in being an artist like no kidding.
But the purity of it was I got in it to make art.
But I do want to be a millionaire Sunday right its freedom money is the freedom because it gets you experiences and Adventures and opportunities and that's where like I want to give my kids like an adventurous life.
[53:19] So I pick up this book I start reading it and there's like this chicken and there's like physically a ticket and it's like you can get this free $2,000 summer.
And so but you have to pay for your plane ticket and your hotel right and slowly I read the books several times and like every time I read it I'm like here's a ticket and someday I'm going to go to this summer.
Well after talking with Bodie bowlby's like I did Summoners she's like I didn't have the money for it but I got a mentor and I did sometimes I'm like okay.
I go back home and I read the book again and I'm like
you've got to do it right that's a free seminar like I said so I went and.
My whole purpose for that was to change my money mentality because I have in the past had a welfare mentality for how I grew up.
Money doesn't grow on trees who do I look like Rockefeller you know the oh yeah rich people are greedy like I grew up with all these like taboo things around money.
My parents are super Frugal like if my mom holds a petty like Lincoln's eyes bug out Lucio's I love her for who she is.
[54:28] But I want to be a millionaire I want a chef I want five different Vehicles like I want my mud truck and I want my lifted cheap and I want to build my motorcycle I was saying like I want my dream shop no.
Now what I want all these things I want to be able to travel the world and I want money to be no object when I do it I want to take my whole fam you don't sound like I want to buy art from all the artists I'm going to fill my home you know.
So it's like money for me is freedom again it goes back to my again Freedom so I went and took these courses.
[55:00] In with the mindset of I want to raise my money mentality because you can't be an artist.
And how does welfare mentality it's not right because I know I just didn't honor my art for a long time like valuing it.
[55:18] I did it to get this money mentality but come to find out the courses that they end up selling me $12,000 it was worth every penny so much more,
which I couldn't afford right they gave me a payment plan and I still struggle deeply every time to pay for it.
But I invested 12 Grand in these courses because I saw the truth immediately when I went to the free course where they sell stuff and I love that right I love salesman.
It's not about getting money it's about serving people I bought the courses with the intention of making money,
and learned that their entire course is focused on service,
and that's how you win at life and I tell you actually become a millionaire is you need to serve people with Integrity just changed everything right I literally just like fell into this most just beautiful thing,
so I left with a mission you know like a year-and-a-half and all these courses later I walk on fire,
some of the stuff I did was just incredibly rimet Zing cars it's like a highly highly recommended.
[56:22] But I left at the mission and that's to inspire people to thrive emotionally and financially and that's with me through ART,
but it also now has become now that with the other podcast I did.
The mental health has now become something that is going to be on my mission and I just something I never even thought about.
Literally until like you know like I know what I've done I know that I'm.
[56:48] I'm a unicorn and the fact that I went through the depression and when I say depression we're talking just severe depression,
we're talking strapped to a gurney in a straitjacket once a woman the Cuckoo's Nest Thorazine shot in my ass depression and anger and being locked up and told I would never ever get out of the psych center.
[57:12] To today I'm living life it is beyond my wildest dreams.
That I have made sculptures for Harley-Davidson that I literally like I choose what I do every day and I don't do anything I don't want to.
I'm here with you because I want to be here with you and if I didn't want to I just say happily no like I'm honored that you would ask but,
you know I just don't have time not only I say no to everything I don't want to do with the sculptures on making.
I made exactly what I want nothing else I'm turning down so many commissions right now because they're not in alignment with.
[57:45] The creatures and characters that I want to create are just feeding my soul but knowing that.
Gone to this journey to go from like absolutely opposite ends of the spectrum from absolutely I cannot imagine being any more visible to I can't imagine being any more happy,
literally like just the other day I'm like you know what like I know this story was coming out you know I knew that I'm do that podcast we planned it for months I think it was.
But as soon as it came out and I got the reactions I got from people which is so supportive and I was shocked.
I actually thought I was going to lose a lot of people it turned out way different than I expected seeing the reaction and how many other people said welding us also save my life it immediately became apparent that this needs to be part of my mission.
And this is how I'm going to help people thrive emotionally and financially which just literally feel like I just thought like just by bringing.
People into the welding industry and showing people like skilled trades and working with your hands.
[58:44] Gives you so much more than money it's even bigger than that isn't it it really adds it really is yes had no.
You know like everything happens for a reason they contacted me for a reason and just like just like all these things like just been blessed beyond my wildest,
leaks but just like and I've got a good imagination this is like beyond anything I could ever imagine but to be able to explain like I know how now that I've gone from the depression to where I am today from,
negative relationships to like I only accept,
the best like I only accept the best of my relationships anything less is unacceptable I don't let anyone else in my life that is like I don't get treated with this right this is fact,
I don't put myself in places where I get treated with disrespect and if I start dating someone they see something,
ghosts kick rocks and I'm okay with that because I love being single because I love myself I love being around myself.
[59:41] Got a few to told me that five years ago you do just an amazing story and again I know we haven't spent a lot of time on welding per se and you summarized it just a moment.
You are so well documented in that space Barbie and I mean truly you know that that's.
If you go to your social platform that's what you see and what I was really hoping to get.
What this shines through in this interview is that it's so much more than that in and ladies,
if you are struggling right now depression is that silent killer.
[1:00:22] It's silent and it's so taboo no one wants to talk about it,
no one but it's email me I'll talk to you about it it's everywhere though right and you talk it and it's not just depression it's mental health period,
there is so much taboo I when I told my folks that you know I was just diagnosed last year with ADHD that I have ADHD and I shared it with my folks.
[1:00:51] The only reaction was oh really.
[1:00:57] Neither of them has said a single word about it since nothing but it was like I didn't even say it through your story Barbie,
also my willingness to share about ADHD it adults do have it majority of adults it was just undiagnosed is that,
there is no shame around it.
[1:01:20] There is no shame around it we all experience it and when you look on social media this Fairytale life that you have right now Barbie is that it wasn't always fairytale in that the struggle is there,
and it's okay and you're not alone you're not alone.
[1:01:40] I think that's a message that so many people need to hear and that's why my willingness to come out and talk about my mental health.
[1:01:50] And listen I am not going to recommend anyone do anything without a doctor's whatever but I don't take medicine.
I have they told me I'd never get off of medicine and I haven't taken medicine in.
I'm going to venture a guess at like 16 ish 17 years.
[1:02:11] And like I said I still was making poor choices
but then like that's a self-esteem thing that wasn't a depression thing.
I have to watch myself I caught myself the other day literally after I made that post.
I freaked like the post I made Friday about my mental health freaked out a little bit Friday and I'll me freaked out I mean just like I'm I'm fucking scared it was scary to do that that is every one of my skeletons.
Hey look at me naked for cures like yours literally like you know and so it was a freaky thing I needed to go hang out with wigs and spend some time with my friends and get away from my house I didn't work Friday I'd planned on it was just like you know what I just,
but I know now and I think having honesty with yourself.
I'll speak to myself I don't want to I'm not putting it on anyone else but like honestly with myself so I feel frustrated if I feel like I'm getting depressed,
I know I need to change my music I can put on a different playlist on my music and it'll help my mood if I'm feeling you know like I said I was scared the other day that was just such a.
[1:03:19] I don't see it was a ballsy move like I know it needs to be talked about I know it's the right thing to do was scary as fuck.
[1:03:28] To put that out there and to so I just I really don't like I'm reading my hands it's all about it right so like I will all feel a little bit anxiety about stuff that I know what I feel I'm like okay like
go drink some chamomile tea by real help but I know like I have stuff in place today,
so I know I have a happy-go-lucky playlist that you can't tap your young cat not like dance to like it's just
so super super awesome makes Vine to stand like put it on your like a playlist get you know Bob Marley No Worries like I can play that song and I'm literally just want to dance all my shop it just,
being honest about like if I know that certain situations bone layout then stay out of them,
if there is like like art even if you don't feel like you're creative whatsoever take a lump take a 10-pound thing it clay,
squeeze it yeah so it's cathartic even if it's not even if you can only roll that clay into a ball.
[1:04:25] That's this cathartic you've made a shape making a joke make a giant get whatever you want say whatever you want you're welcome let's go do something,
if you can draw the draw if you can't draw but you'd like to call her get some coloring pencils and get it like this,
get a coloring book with swear words it goes exist right,
find some kind of Outlet find something to focus on because I can give you my experience when I focus on how awful my life was.
[1:04:59] You're literally pouring energy into that thought which is just.
Snowballing and it just you know that you feel bad for feeling bad and then you're like oh we oh my life is good I shouldn't feel bad I still awful feeling bad like this people have a worse you shouldn't have you know all that shit right there when you're focused on all that it literally Dumber spirals.
[1:05:21] If you're not feeling good if you're not feeling happy if you're not feel find some kind of creative outlet for me it's been art like I said.
[1:05:29] Football I am selling this interview but I literally I had zero artistic talent when I decided to be a metal sculpture this is what I decided to do I figured it all out wow,
zero there was nothing
my handwriting is still freaking egregious my I'm learning to draw I got like drawings on my I know you can't sit for you I got drawings on my phones like I'm hurting too sharp you draw,
I'm good with Sharpie I can write my name on people's faces when they were passed out like that's my girl,
no I've always been good with the Sharpie like this there was no creative Talent whatsoever so if it's something like,
Hobby Lobby like it's like 10 bucks for like is 10-pound thing of clay or go get Play-Doh taste delicious don't eat Play-Doh garden like this
oh my gosh we all said like find some kind of creative Outlet.
Go and buy a two by four and a box of nails and a hammer it is literally just Hammer this shit out of the nails are the two by four find a way to do something.
That is not sitting in the house and feeling bad for yourself.
When you focus on something that is outside of yourself regardless of what it is then your energy is going to that something like if you're focusing on your neighbors,
pitch the next what you're going to get but if you focus on,
I'm just going to nail these I'm going to try to make them make them all the same height nail these it's you're focusing on something outside of yourself.
[1:06:57] That's Sound Advice my friend its inspiration here and I tell you what this probably is a good time to launch into the Red Line Round because,
some of what you're talking about goes right into the red line where you'll be able to just knock this out of the park,
what the redline round is is it's just five rapid-fire questions there's no right or wrong answer to him whatever pops into your heads the right answer,
and you actually just teed the first one up and kind of shared it who or what has been your inspiration throughout your journey in the industry.
[1:07:30] Oh gosh Jessi Combs was my first as far as a woman.
Students just shattering glass ceilings I got to eat her in 2017.
It's fucking immediately loved her she's like everything else,
you meet your hero they just like oh my gosh I would love to meet you Hiro and then you hear people that need two Heroes and heroes a task
in person I met her and she is just so deeply humbled like she knew who I was like I'm fangirling on her and she's like Barbie,
she's so down-to-earth and just so badass and just.
Oh man just absolutely deeply admired just everything about her and being bulky same thing that just like I fangirled on Bogie and Brody was totally just,
so down to earth like immediately best friends with her you know and just like the work ethic I'm both of them.
The the tribes like the just shattering opening the industry up for women showing women that yes like we can do it doesn't matter you know.
[1:08:38] It doesn't matter who you are if you want to,
no be a mechanic you kind of Wonder well you can't anyone can do it absolutely I said those two definitely my heroes awesome Barbie where do you go or what resources do you use when you want to learn something new or you get stuck.
First and foremost is probably YouTube if I'm trying to figure out like,
my social media isn't doing well what's going on I look for new algorithms and stuff I'd like to look in YouTube a lot on YouTube smart,
when it comes to self-improvement I dive into books right now my favorite favorite authors Ryan holiday he has written.
[1:09:17] Three of what I think are probably the best books that ever existed and that is the obstacle is the way as number one on my list like if you don't read anything else,
read the obstacle is away silence is a key which is the one I just finished today I'm right it like several times audio audio book like if I drive anywhere I usually got an audiobook running,
so this is a key the obstacle is away and.
He's actually wrote a quite a few books but those those three that deal with stoicism and stoic philosophies I'm,
really like really getting into stoicism I think it's just a gift you're going to have to provide me a list,
I guess you've rattled off a few and I'm like oh we gotta share the list of Barbies goodies here so folks can go check those out so I'm totally gonna have you email me those and include them,
I will do that I'll give you my top 5 masteries heck yeah man,
what excites you most about what you do unlimited potential.
There is so much freedom in mile there's so much Freedom as an artist I literally can do whatever we want to,
I'm just incredibly like had no idea my business would leave me where I am I didn't intend to.
[1:10:44] Do what I'm doing I just wanted to make art but.
There's a limitless and freedom in like uncrating creatures right now like characters and creatures there's no limit so like if I want to put bat wings on a girl I can hmm I just find like this deep.
Sense of fulfillment in.
In creating the characters and like with metal like there's no limits to what I can do with them you know like and I bend it like this hard material to my will which is pretty powerful failure it's empowering.
[1:11:21] What is a personal habit or practice that has helped you significantly in this industry or your journey in the industry.
[1:11:31] Two things one I can talk about work wise and one is personal workwise is just practice,
I compete against myself every damn day I do look to others for potentially like where I want to be or for inspiration,
but at the end of the day I judge myself against myself I will never look at another artist you go I wish mine like all my stuff isn't that good no I look at my art today and say is it better than what it was yesterday,
and that goes for anything that you're doing just a sidebar really quick like mentally mental health wise.
[1:12:06] Anything in your personal life do not judge yourself against anyone else because you were judging your day one against someone else's day 100,
and that's not fair so like if you're in AA George your day one against your day one maybe you want to look at some of these got 30 years sober,
judge your day while I try to be better today than what you were yesterday that's the only way to win when we judge yourself against other people,
it's a freakin lose game that you'll never win against someone else's you have no idea you don't have the same experiences the second thing that if I can attest My Success to anything personally,
I was actually meditation I've done it since I was a kid not always all the time and definitely like in my dark time I was not doing it,
I say my dark time and I'm sure there's better word for it but like when I was screwing up I wasn't,
I meditate on almost every single day basis I would playlist that I've made on YouTube of different meditation stuff and I play it overnight on a loop while I sleep.
[1:13:09] Right now I'm actually working on money but like there's always like I've got like this spirit animal thing I love animals I'm very,
very nature Banks and so I have the first one is spirit animal that's when I go to sleep fall asleep listening to the rest of them right now I'm totally focused on money and,
raising my money mentality and.
Really like honoring the pieces that I'm making with my upbringing was kind of hard to be like oh this is a hundred bucks knowing I put like 50 Cent's and scrap metal into it.
[1:13:41] But wrapping my brain around the fact like there is nothing else like this that's right no one else will ever feel like putting it on putting a hundred dollars on that is just shameful so I like my money is definitely.
[1:13:54] Probably my last challenge I'm going to say I'll never stop being challenged but as far as like myself.
Always always work to improve myself but the money is like my last big hurdle that I miss like this one.
Like this is just going to change everything when I get it's about honoring myself on my art is about honoring a lot of stuff that body like growing up with the money mentality that I had.
[1:14:22] Josh is definitely has put me in really bad situations I'm so glad that you talked about that it's something that we haven't talked about on the podcast and it's so critical because it's just about.
[1:14:36] Personal worth in there's personal worth and then there's your business worth,
and you go through this personal evolution,
where someone has their nine to five job and you know their pay raises are directly proportionate to their own personal worth in the value that they feel they provide the company and then it's a whole different.
Level when it's your own business and understanding the worth around your own business in your own work that I'm so glad you brought that up,
in Barbie finally what is your parting advice to other Femcanics finding their way in the skilled trades industry.
It comes down to practice.
[1:15:23] Whatever it is whether you're a plumber or an auto mechanic or a welder it's about honoring your craft,
by honoring your skills which also honors yourself and it goes back in the self-esteem your job in the skilled trades is to grow yourself into the best possible version of yourself that you can,
as a human being and as a tradesperson,
freshman skip over everything I think it's just so with me with the craftsmanship that's what led me into good self-esteem like I finished a job and be like,
young girls are looking good you know the thing is is like by by honoring my craft.
[1:16:07] Allowed me to walk away feeling good each day what had happened was people that are in the trades are seeing.
How I'm honoring myself and my craft and that's how we're going to blow these glass ceilings open is by going in and yes putting in a damn good day at work and doing everything you can yourself.
You're asking for help if you need it because of what should but also when Aaron handle your shit you know say only do whatever you can to improve yourself.
And bring as much of value to the table as possible there's a caveat to that if you're not being treated with love respect and kick rocks and go find a place that will,
because there are so many places out there they're looking for skilled Tradesmen they don't give a flying rat's ass what color you are or what your sex is they watch skilled Tradesmen they'll go in and handle their stuff.
Without an attitude right yeah just go in and put in the best damn day or that you possibly can on yourself by being the best version of yourself everywhere,
and again if you're not being truthful of respect then kick rocks love it people out there who will,
deeply honor exactly what you're doing and where and how can people connect with you Barbie.
[1:17:25] So I'm easy to find round just Search bar be the Walter let's see YouTube Instagram Facebook Tick-Tock I'm new tic toc in the last six months and madly in love with that I'm really active on LinkedIn.
