Transcript:

Stephen 0:47Alright, so welcome back Carmel to the discovered word Smith podcast. I have some questions after talking to you about your your business life, your intrapreneurship. You mentioned, like half a million things that you do. And I love that because I also have been doing some talks with parents, telling them basically, hey, the workforce that you grew up with is not what your kids are going to have. And you kind of have already embraced that. You don't just do comedy, you don't just write a book, you've got comedy. And you've written a book, and you have a blog and a podcast and you do all these multiple things. Was that a very conscious thing that you said, I want to do this to earn money and make a living? Or was it I kind of fell into it? Have you always wanted to do that? Give me a little insight in that because I'm very intrigued,

Caramel 1:41um, that the reason why that I do all the things I do is not because of money. I mean, it's because it's a passion. You know, and I enjoy doing the things that I do. You know, so, how I fell into it is because I love the entertainment world. Anything about entertainment is a lot for me, is this excites me and makes me feel good. Like, I just love making people laugh. I love you know, talk to people about you know, situations. I love writing about situations. I like to be creative about things that I do is it's just a passion for me. The money yeah, okay, is great, but it's not about that. It's about just seeing the spark in people's eye or making someone even if it's not a lot of people, these one person has smell that day, you know?

Stephen 2:31Right. Okay, so with that thought, if you had made your book came out, and people said, It's okay, and nobody bought it, would you still be working on a second book?

Caramel 2:42I would, nothing's gonna stop my motivation. You know, I'm a motivator. And I'm a go getter. You know, and you know, everybody's not gonna like what you do, you know, and that's life. So everybody's not gonna like what I do, but I enjoy what I do. That's all that matters to me. And if you like it, come along with me, let's go, let's hold hands and skip along the line, you know, down the way. But other than that, you know, I'm gonna continue doing what I do and continue writing and continue, you know, influencing and motivating, inspiring, just because you know, people don't like it. That's okay. That's okay. Because you get knows a lot of times you can get a lot of nose the four yeses.

Stephen 3:21Got right, you probably have not had a great night on stage every single night, you've probably not had every great post you make on the blog roof, dude, well, with people, it's part of the game,

Caramel 3:35it is part of the game, you're not going to please everybody because somebody is going to find something wrong. Okay. So being on stage or being on stage, and, you know, people laughing or people not laughing when people are saying this looking at you, like you're crazy, you know, it doesn't matter least you took that time to show them what you have. At that time, you know, you might have been off key a little bit or, or written something that wasn't the best writing that you've done, and they don't like it. But that's okay, because you're gonna get rejections regardless,
