00;00;02;00 - 00;00;04;27 Unknown It's not easy to interview somebody and to get information out

00;00;04;28 - 00;00;06;18 Unknown because that's what your job is.

00;00;06;21 - 00;00;08;13 Unknown You're trying to get people to talk.

00;00;08;13 - 00;00;11;28 Unknown with psychology, the best way to get people to talk is you get them to talk about themselves.

00;00;11;28 - 00;00;12;09 Unknown Yes.

00;00;12;12 - 00;00;14;13 Unknown What do you think? That I need to improve?

00;00;14;15 - 00;00;19;05 Unknown I think that you should improve talking to the audience and getting information out, like right now.

00;00;19;07 - 00;00;22;06 Unknown What do you think she should improve? Like ask. You know what I mean?

00;00;22;07 - 00;00;22;10 Unknown Oh,

00;00;22;13 - 00;00;25;26 Unknown good. So what do you guys think that I need to improve?

00;00;26;00 - 00;00;38;28 Unknown Real voices. Bold stories. This is the Lexus Starship. Hush, hush.

00;00;39;00 - 00;00;42;21 Unknown Oh!

00;00;42;24 - 00;00;46;06 Unknown This show is presented by King Rella.

00;00;46;09 - 00;01;00;28 Unknown Oh, my God, this is surreal. What? I can't believe that we've accomplished 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. And what? Less than a year.

00;01;01;01 - 00;01;02;05 Unknown Took about six months,

00;01;02;09 - 00;01;05;17 Unknown right? Yeah. That's a pretty good accomplishment, if you ask me.

00;01;05;19 - 00;01;08;11 Unknown I mean, it is. It's great. Babe.

00;01;08;14 - 00;01;09;21 Unknown How do you feel about this?

00;01;09;24 - 00;01;18;17 Unknown I feel good. I think, so I think it's it's nice to, you know, be recognized by YouTube for the hard work that we've been putting in

00;01;18;20 - 00;01;20;03 Unknown You've put a lot more than me.

00;01;20;06 - 00;01;33;20 Unknown Oh. It's okay. You know, we we all have our our our tasks as the producer producer of the show. I mean, I have a lot to juggle with. Yeah, but, No, I'm. I'm very happy. This is great. This is good.

00;01;33;26 - 00;01;37;05 Unknown So am I. I can't believe that 100,000 people on YouTube.

00;01;37;07 - 00;01;38;20 Unknown Subbed. Subbed

00;01;38;21 - 00;01;44;00 Unknown What was it? Because we did have one video that did do, like, extremely good. Was it made? Yeah.

00;01;44;01 - 00;01;58;24 Unknown Yeah. It's the one with meadowland. Yeah. I don't know where it just blew up. With the light and community from the analytics analytics that I've seen. So it's great. But yeah this video blew up and this is what really got us like 90% of our subs.

00;01;59;00 - 00;02;32;09 Unknown That's crazy because like okay, people know the Lexus our show. They know who I am and what we do. Right? So you would think that a video that would go viral would be, you know, someone that's in the same industry as us, but it was completely different. And that's what I love about this podcast, is that, yes, we did kind of start like an adult content podcast, but then we realized we switched it up and we were like, okay, it doesn't only have to be about that, right?

00;02;32;11 - 00;02;58;14 Unknown Yeah. And, that's what I that's what I'm really proud of most, actually, because we, we started as something and then we realized that we got to switch it up because we don't want to stay, like just focus on one group, this platform. This podcast is about all types of creators. And also, if we were only doing, just content creators, I feel like it would be very repetitive at a point.

00;02;58;18 - 00;03;01;18 Unknown You're so pretty up close.

00;03;01;20 - 00;03;03;02 Unknown Sorry. I'm listening to you.

00;03;03;04 - 00;03;04;27 Unknown You got something stuck on YouTube right there.

00;03;04;28 - 00;03;15;25 Unknown Where now you tell me. Well, I just saw it. Oh, wait. Look, why don't you guys tell me? Come on. Where is it? The one before here. But the other side. Yeah. On top.

00;03;15;27 - 00;03;20;28 Unknown Just do it for me.

00;03;21;01 - 00;03;28;24 Unknown What you got? Hold the. It's so. I need a wife. Guys. This one. Any wife? She's got your back. Is that the

00;03;28;27 - 00;03;36;20 Unknown part that's parmesan? That's kind of good. No I don't. Yeah. It's cool. It's the ricotta. It's the ricotta. Whatever. It's called the the Greek, the Greek cheese.

00;03;36;21 - 00;03;39;00 Unknown Okay, so what are we saying again? Okay, so I was saying

00;03;39;03 - 00;03;41;01 Unknown we grew this into something else.

00;03;41;01 - 00;03;41;25 Unknown Yes. So

00;03;41;26 - 00;03;47;26 Unknown So essentially, it's like when you start a business, when you start a project, you have your vision, right?

00;03;47;29 - 00;04;07;06 Unknown And then you take that vision and you make it real. So we wanted to do a podcast. We made it real. We built it. We got people on the show. We tested it out. And then, you know, like anything else in life, you tweak it, you make it better. And so yeah, so we decided to not make it into an adult podcast.

00;04;07;06 - 00;04;28;07 Unknown We decided to make it into a, creator podcast. So this podcast is really for creators or for aspiring creators or for people who just want to know more about the industry of being an online creator, influencer, creator, business owner, whatever it is we talk about, again, we talk about business. We we talk

00;04;28;10 - 00;04;29;04 Unknown about people. Stories.

00;04;29;08 - 00;04;30;25 Unknown Exactly. People's stories.

00;04;30;28 - 00;04;41;18 Unknown The, you know, the before and after people and and what it takes to become someone. Yeah. And somebody, to be to be an online creator is. Yeah.

00;04;41;26 - 00;04;56;07 Unknown How would you say that? I have grown since my first episode because. Because that's. Well, for starters, I don't like rewatching my podcast. Like, I don't even want to hear my voice.

00;04;56;09 - 00;05;14;19 Unknown I don't know what it is. I feel like a lot of people don't like hearing their voices. But I just, I just as soon as I hear it, I don't know, man. It's like. It's like a sound that I don't like or something, but I, I feel that I've, I've become more comfortable, although I'm still very nervous.

00;05;14;19 - 00;05;20;10 Unknown Yeah. Like when you guys sometimes see me wearing, like, a low cut and I'm right here. Am I ready yet? All right. No, no, no, I'm not,

00;05;20;17 - 00;05;26;26 Unknown because it's me, baby. Evolution. It is. It is because I still don't understand why you're nervous. Like I'm so nervous right now.

00;05;26;28 - 00;05;28;04 Unknown Yeah, but it's. But it's us.

00;05;28;07 - 00;05;30;11 Unknown Yeah, but the first time that we had.

00;05;30;11 - 00;05;31;29 Unknown Yeah, I think it was episode

00;05;32;02 - 00;05;33;29 Unknown like two. No, it was episode

00;05;33;29 - 00;05;36;10 Unknown four I believe that I was in, I was, I was like,

00;05;36;13 - 00;05;39;08 Unknown you were nervous. I was like, what am I,

00;05;39;15 - 00;05;47;01 Unknown what I get myself into? But, no. I'm so surprised that you nervous with people I know, I get it, it's random people that you've never met.

00;05;47;01 - 00;05;53;20 Unknown Yeah, they come on the show and you have to have a full blown conversation with them. Yeah, I get it. But you're the. You're the boss, baby.

00;05;53;21 - 00;05;54;23 Unknown I'm the boss. You

00;05;54;25 - 00;05;56;01 Unknown you own this thing right now.

00;05;56;04 - 00;06;01;22 Unknown Do you feel like I've. I've changed and, like, the way I move or like I'm more comfortable.

00;06;01;26 - 00;06;03;24 Unknown So a lot of people watching this, you have to understand.

00;06;03;24 - 00;06;04;00 Unknown Like

00;06;04;06 - 00;06;16;08 Unknown It's not easy to interview somebody and to get information out because that's what your job is. You're trying to get people to talk. Yeah. So the with psychology, the best way to get people to talk is you get them to talk about themselves.

00;06;16;08 - 00;06;28;14 Unknown Yes. But even though you do that it's still very hard because we do get people on the show where it's like, first of all, they're freaking nervous. You know, when you nervous, you, you, you, you're out of words. You don't know what to say.

00;06;28;19 - 00;06;30;13 Unknown Or there's some people that just don't talk a lot,

00;06;30;14 - 00;06;31;15 Unknown or that's what I mean.

00;06;31;15 - 00;06;45;02 Unknown Like there's some people who don't talk a lot because they're nervous and there's some people who just by their character, they don't talk a lot because they don't talk a lot. So you're there to try to get a conversation to flow and to make it interesting for people. And you've gotten way better at that. Yeah. And you're you are already good.

00;06;45;06 - 00;06;45;24 Unknown I was all right.

00;06;46;00 - 00;06;48;19 Unknown Oh, you were good. I was all right. I'm all right, all right.

00;06;48;26 - 00;07;04;14 Unknown So that's why, you know, we we decided to do the podcast because you I thought that you were just already good at. Yeah, because when we go out, I see her, and I can tell I'm like this. This beast of a woman is great at carrying in conversation with people

00;07;04;16 - 00;07;25;16 Unknown If you're watching this right now, I bet you care about how you look, feel, and smell. Especially smell. And that's why I'm here to talk to you about King Rilla. They make all natural soaps, shampoos, lip balms and deodorants for men. But I'm not gonna lie. I use them as well. They use organic ingredients that keep you feeling fresh all day long.

00;07;25;17 - 00;07;40;01 Unknown And trust me, you deserve to treat yourself like a king. So do yourself and your girlfriend a favor by visiting them at King rilla.com. You won't regret it. Oh, and don't forget to use my promo code Lexus Star to get 15% off your order.

00;07;40;04 - 00;07;42;13 Unknown but not when there's a camera on my face.

00;07;42;19 - 00;07;45;07 Unknown Well, you know what I mean? That you develop. Yeah, that's the whole point.

00;07;45;09 - 00;07;50;00 Unknown yeah, I've gotten better. Definitely. Yeah. What do you think? That I need to improve?

00;07;50;02 - 00;07;58;16 Unknown I think that you should improve talking to the audience and getting information out, like right now. What do you think she should improve? Like ask. You know what I mean?

00;07;58;17 - 00;07;58;20 Unknown Oh,

00;07;58;24 - 00;08;04;08 Unknown good. So what do you guys think that I need to improve? How about how about that? How about that,

00;08;04;10 - 00;08;06;05 Unknown There's not much, but you know, there's always room.

00;08;06;08 - 00;08;08;28 Unknown There's always room for. It's always room. You're growing as a person.

00;08;09;02 - 00;08;20;10 Unknown But yeah, I feel like you should maybe sometimes be more connected to the audience and tell them, like when you when you ask something to the guest that you're interviewing, you can always say, hey, what do you guys think of that?

00;08;20;10 - 00;08;24;12 Unknown You know, or like ask people, they comment down below or just get that connection going.

00;08;24;15 - 00;08;25;18 Unknown Yeah, I know what you mean,

00;08;25;20 - 00;08;29;28 Unknown but let me. Yeah, I already mentioned that. Everybody see,

00;08;30;01 - 00;08;32;22 Unknown but I already mentioned it. Oh you did, I did you. So

00;08;32;26 - 00;08;36;02 Unknown we mentioned it for people who are brand new. So I,

00;08;36;04 - 00;08;36;17 Unknown let me get it.

00;08;36;17 - 00;08;45;11 Unknown I tend to like, not have a great posture sometimes or like I get comfortable on the, the seat. So then he put this picture

00;08;45;14 - 00;08;57;17 Unknown on. If you can see actually me get this one to to remind, to remind me that I should have a good posture. That was the other one. Why? Why did I put the picture?

00;08;57;20 - 00;08;59;27 Unknown So, why did I put the picture

00;09;00;02 - 00;09;11;20 Unknown so so that I can talk to the audience? I don't remember remind me so essentially, you're a funny guy. Yeah. Sometimes.

00;09;11;23 - 00;09;31;08 Unknown So I put the picture with the word posture. So to remind yourself. Yeah. To to just posture. Right. But the main thing is the picture because when back in the days and you'll know YouTube channels would say hey guys what's up guys I don't know.

00;09;31;08 - 00;09;49;20 Unknown You're talking to an audience, but really now you're really talking to somebody and my view, sorry, the viewers can talk by themselves. Let me know down below. Are you watching this on a TV or with a group of people? Or you're watching this by yourself on a TV or on your phone like this in your bed or chilling or on the toilet?

00;09;49;22 - 00;10;03;07 Unknown You know, I mean so yeah that's what it was. I put a picture and then it's a good thing we're talking about this, put a picture of somebody on their phones in their bed like that to remind her that she's not talking to an audience. Yeah. She's talking to someone watching watching a video.

00;10;03;10 - 00;10;07;09 Unknown It's so hard to not say, hey guys, welcome back.

00;10;07;09 - 00;10;33;22 Unknown Guys. Like, it's just it's like automatic sometimes. And one thing, about me is that I hate doing the intros. Okay? Like when I, when I am, introducing the guests, I that's where I get nervous. So if I mess that up, then like, I'm kind of stressed throughout the whole episode. So I did by a teleprompter. The secret's out.

00;10;33;25 - 00;10;48;18 Unknown I got a teleprompter. And because I want to do the guest justice, right? Like I don't want to mess it up and, you know, then they're just there and it it doesn't it doesn't look good. Right? So I got a teleprompter and now like now I, I do good intros. Yeah.

00;10;48;19 - 00;10;51;03 Unknown Let me be clear. It's not for the actual word by word.

00;10;51;03 - 00;10;57;05 Unknown It's just for bullet points. Is it help you. It's. No, it's my intro. Yeah. Yeah. To help you shoot to help you

00;10;57;06 - 00;11;24;04 Unknown after that. Like I have my little cue cards and stuff like that to to remind me because during an interview, especially with somebody who doesn't talk much or gives answers that aren't very elaborate. Yeah, you I okay, I my brain is just thinking and I'm like, okay, well ask this next because I am still nervous like it like and I'm not embarrassed to say that I still get nervous.

00;11;24;04 - 00;11;31;08 Unknown And then in my head I'm thinking, okay, don't forget to ask this. Or sometimes like a podcast is done and I'm like, crap, I really wanted to ask that question.

00;11;31;12 - 00;11;34;00 Unknown And there's a freaking fly.

00;11;34;00 - 00;11;44;25 Unknown So so that's that. It's not easy. There are times where I was like, what do we do? What do we get ourselves into?

00;11;44;27 - 00;12;01;00 Unknown But I, I do think that and that's probably most likely because of, you know, most likely it is because of you. You're somebody who, when you decide to do something you like, go all in, and you don't stop until we get

00;12;01;03 - 00;12;03;20 Unknown to something,

00;12;03;23 - 00;12;05;21 Unknown we don't mess around.

00;12;05;24 - 00;12;10;10 Unknown You don't mess around. I mess around, but we have been very consistent.

00;12;10;12 - 00;12;15;21 Unknown I mean, in the beginning, it was a bit harder to find guests and have people come on the show.

00;12;15;22 - 00;12;17;15 Unknown And that's when you work your magic. And that's what I did.

00;12;17;20 - 00;12;23;06 Unknown Yeah, it's gotten a lot easier. People ask us to come on the show, so that's really.

00;12;23;07 - 00;12;29;11 Unknown Well, now there's a following. So when we approach people to come on the show, it's like we have stats to back it up.

00;12;29;16 - 00;12;53;27 Unknown We have it's like, hey, we're at 50 million views a month. So if you want to be on the show and you're a creator or you have a story to tell or whatever, we have a big audience now. So it's like there's again, I like to tell people, this is like, we're like the news channels, right? You go in the news to represent yourself, to get access to a piece of an audience that you would not normally have access to with your platforms, whatever platform you want.

00;12;53;29 - 00;13;11;27 Unknown So this is a great way this podcast, Alexis, our show is a great way, for you to get extra visibility. And I've spoken to a lot of our past guests and they tell me like, oh, I've got so many subs from your page, and I've got so many following from you guys is work, because we do a lot of promotion on, the episode.

00;13;11;27 - 00;13;12;10 Unknown So yeah.

00;13;12;15 - 00;13;17;19 Unknown What do you see? The future like for the, list?

00;13;17;25 - 00;13;19;09 Unknown The list. Show

00;13;19;10 - 00;13;20;18 Unknown list to show.

00;13;20;18 - 00;13;27;13 Unknown I like to have guests that are in a different part of their career.

00;13;27;20 - 00;13;47;19 Unknown So when they start or when they're, you know, about to retire, when you're mid-career and they have different followings, it's nice to have different types of people. So I'm I'm not here to try to make this show into like, having only superstars. You know, I like to have different type of people. I think it's it's it's great because we're trying to give information to the viewer.

00;13;47;22 - 00;13;52;03 Unknown you know, I mean, more well-known guests.

00;13;52;05 - 00;14;03;21 Unknown don't want to be condescending to people, but I think we're going to have more and more well-known guests. So, for example, we had the game in their DMs. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we have footballers in her DMs.

00;14;03;21 - 00;14;05;04 Unknown We have many people in her DMs.

00;14;05;11 - 00;14;11;20 Unknown but they're in my DMs for something and I'm, I, I'm like, okay, but do you want to come on the podcast

00;14;11;25 - 00;14;19;04 Unknown like the game? Have you seen the game? TMZ spoke about that, how he reached out. Yeah, yeah. His, his

00;14;19;06 - 00;14;21;28 Unknown pickup line, he would say three. Well, he did that to her,

00;14;22;00 - 00;14;23;13 Unknown so he did exactly that.

00;14;23;13 - 00;14;39;00 Unknown He did that for me. And we always try to convert them into like, hey, come on the show. Yeah. No, this is business to us. This is not we're not here for that type of stuff. So we have contacts with, you know, famous people. So we're going to have some eventually on the show. That's what I think.

00;14;39;00 - 00;14;43;19 Unknown We're where we're going. And then, you know, eventually, maybe change the set.

00;14;43;24 - 00;14;46;19 Unknown Yeah, that would be that's that's something that I look for to

00;14;46;21 - 00;14;50;05 Unknown get a bigger set because we would like to have more people on the show. Yeah. At the same time.

00;14;50;08 - 00;14;54;13 Unknown I totally agree with that. I want to be I mean, we have our sponsor here, King Rollo, which

00;14;54;14 - 00;15;01;05 Unknown is I think it's going to stay that I think we're going to keep it at that because it's great visibility and it's free.

00;15;01;08 - 00;15;10;28 Unknown tell us a little bit about, I mean, we already know that you're the founder of King Rilla, right? That, so, to the guys that are watching this right now, what do you want to tell her? Yeah.

00;15;11;00 - 00;15;14;07 Unknown So if you want to smell good, go to King Com.

00;15;14;08 - 00;15;20;00 Unknown If you want to smell good, if you don't want to put toxic products fragrances on your body.

00;15;20;06 - 00;15;26;05 Unknown Okay, we got soap, we got shampoo bars, we got deodorants, you got lip balm.

00;15;26;06 - 00;15;28;13 Unknown And for you guys, we say, it's

00;15;28;16 - 00;15;33;04 Unknown to put on lip balm. It's not. Keep your lips hydrated. It's cold in the winter.

00;15;33;04 - 00;15;36;23 Unknown How do you think I got a beautiful, sexy beast like this?

00;15;36;25 - 00;15;38;06 Unknown You didn't have. You didn't have it then.

00;15;38;06 - 00;15;40;24 Unknown But it's okay. You got to go back to the product.

00;15;40;26 - 00;15;44;09 Unknown It's certified organic products. Skincare for men.
