Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's been too long that we've been quiet, so we're back.
We're never quiet, reader, it's been too long since we're
not recording, but we're never quiet, Okay, And this should
be a very exciting opening, and it's going to be
a great season flour Us. It was an exciting season
last season and the fact that we were nominated for
an Ambi Award was really something very special. And when
(00:23):
they heard this season, it's going to be even better
than last Ellen. Who's going to be our guest today? Well, today,
Adrian R. Peal and her Land daughter Ashley are going
to be the guests. Oh. She's been in cosmetics from
the time I was a young person. She's actually the
first woman that started a true cosmetic company, the longest
(00:45):
running beauty line here at HS and best selling author Adrian.
We're here to party, happy anniversary. I am so proud
to be at HS and for all those years I
remember my auntsiwers to use Adrian a pal and I
used to borrow it. I'm really excited to see this side,
her family side. I'm sure it wasn't that easy going
(01:06):
starting as a woman, and I'd like to hear how
she did it. She really was an innovator in women executive.
I'd love to see how her grandchild is following. Enough,
what steps? Okay, let's hear it. I'm anxious. Let's go, Ashley.
Why is your lighting so good? And no, kidd you
look beautiful. I don't have my ring light on? Are
you crazy? Wait? Look at this? Where'd you go? I'm
(01:30):
coming back. You don't need the damn ring light. I
do much better now, right with the light look the
same to me. Gorgeous. Well, it's because I'm wearing you
right now. Yeah, that's what's doing. And maybe four grandma's
ago had good skin and poland all right, well thanks,
(01:51):
great great great great grandmother, Grandma? Are you nervous? Am
I nervous? Yeah? Are you kidding? Okay? Ready ready. Adriana
Pella is my grandma. She's one of my best friends,
my idol. Who is she? She taught me how to
(02:11):
put on makeup when I was really young, and she's
been teaching everyone else since way before me how to
put makeup on. So funny enough, I actually, Grandma, I
googled you yesterday. Lots of stuff to google. Right, it
was good because I've been around four thousand years a
lot of stuff to google. I loved it, even with
your older videos. I'm still learning how to do makeup
(02:33):
with that too. She's my favorite person in the entire
world and two other planets, and that includes her mother,
who's my second favorite, and rulling it take second place there.
She she got it since the day as she was born.
That was it. My grandson, he's third favorite because he's
(02:54):
a boy and doesn't call me on the dime. If
he did, he could move up. He also does not
know how to clean a room. He is. Are we
going to say that on radio? I mean, I never
get a wife he is. He's slobed, but we love him.
We keep him. This young woman popped out similar to me.
(03:19):
She said to me immediately after being born, Grandma, I'm
gonna be like you and we're going to have the
greatest relationship in the world. She was maybe five minutes
old when she said that, And it's true. It has
been forever. We're just simpatica. Do you remember freezing bananas
and dipping them in chocolate? Grandma? Do I remember we
(03:40):
had to redo the kitchen there were chocolate everywhere. I'm
not too good at that kind of stuff. I tried hard. Wait,
what are you not good? I'm confused stuff in the kitchen.
But I wanted to impress you, so I coated the bananas,
and I coated the stove and the refrigerator and the ceiling.
That was so fun. But yeah, going to your office,
(04:00):
I remember it was always like a devil Wares product thing,
and Grandma was Miranda Priestley, but with less stress. I
think no one was like passing out. A few of
them did. When I started getting bullied in school. Grandma
(04:21):
was really great with that, do you remember. And you
were like, just be nice, and it was sort of
in essence, killed them with kindness, kind of be completely
overly sweet back to them, and you'll go through it.
You'll move on from them, but they'll be them forever.
I remember I was like, yeah, they have to go
(04:41):
through life as themselves and that's got to be tough. Actually,
as I said to you then, and I said, you know,
you were far more beautiful than any of them. You
were false smarter, you had a far better understanding of
life at twelve years old, and they were going nowhere
(05:03):
and you were going to run the world. I'm totally correct.
I'm almost their grandma. You know, she's not what I
expected to hear. Somebody in cosmetics, you think is going
to be very feminine and very soft. And but she's
(05:25):
a strong, determined woman. She's a strong woman because she's
got a big business to run. No, that's true. You
don't get they have being a Namby Pamby. I just
love the love. You can hear the love in every
word they say to each other. You know it's not
only love, Ellen, it's something a little more deeper, like
admiration and respect. Yes, it's wonderful. It made me feel
(05:47):
very good to listen to them. Okay, partline, here we go.
You can look up when you're older. I wonder what
that means. We're identical. I'm very happy compared to Grandma
because we are identical. I see so much of myself
(06:08):
and you, And I mean in what way? I am
a very hard worker. I get up at dawn and
I work all day, and I don't look at a
clock when I'm finished. I'm finished. For me, it came
from being poor as a kid. I grew up in
New Jersey, where just about everybody had two or three
(06:29):
jobs and kids worked. From thirteen fourteen fifteen Ashley was
never poor as a kid, but she absolutely has the
same ethic. I was eighteen when I went into business.
I looked up when I was fifty five and had
enough money to quit, but I haven't looked up in between.
She's just like me. She's success oriented and will accept
(06:53):
nothing else, so she works real hard. Yeah. I mean,
I've heard it my entire life. You can look up
and you're older. I say that to myself all of
the time. I say that when I wake up at
five am. I say that to Scott, my fiance. It
rubbed off on Ashley very early. Remember when you worked
in the chocolate shop and the pizza polopy. I did
(07:14):
that after school at fifteen, and no one told her
she had to work at that age. I had to
do it and did it. I get less credit, and Ashley,
who didn't have to do it and did it. You
deserve all the credit, Grandma. Well, except I don't have
one stretch mark from you, not one, so I can't
get all the credit. I mean all the credit for
(07:36):
your success. That's what I mean. I'm a food and
product photographer and videographer, so I work with a lot
of chocolate shops or restaurants or food bloggers, and I
run their social media as well. And you played the
princess on a children's television show you paid a pirate.
(07:57):
Do you remember my very first l a audition? I
think it was for Tattoo Nightmares, of course I remember,
and I got the part and I had to like
vomit on camera. I remember calling GRAHDM and I was like,
how can I be glamorous while I'm vomiting on camera,
of which my answer was smile, honey. They'll never get it,
(08:20):
They'll never know. Wait. Did you always know that you
wanted to start your own business without your dream as
a kid. I didn't know enough to know. But when
I got out of high school, there was a six
month period of time before I was going to go
to school, and I was going to get a job
as a receptionist. Why a reception This is the only
(08:41):
thing I could do? I was, what else was I
capable of doing? Well? I started going to department stoics,
Macy's Lord and Taylor Sex Bloomings. I'd walk in. I
didn't we very much makeup, and I said, how do
I do my makeup? What should I do with my eyes?
It's this eye shadow good. I don't know how to
do my lips, and no one ever really the answer
me and I felt if there were professional estheticians that
(09:04):
really went to school for skin can they could tell
me what to do, I'd have something special. As you know,
I went into business. By my twenty one birthday. I
was in all those stores with a small skin salon,
and you and I discussed this a great less. I
am the original influencer. I started makeovers and department stores.
(09:27):
I was the first person to do makeovers on television.
Is going to show us a few little Oprah shows
on Regis, on every major show you could think of
those years when nobody did makeups on television. Did I
always want to go into business? No? I think in
(09:49):
that way, I'm the accidental success. There was a need.
I saw it as a kid because I had that
need too, and I fulfilled it and that was the
beginning of my success. I love the way you worded
that accidental success. I didn't know how to do anything.
An accidental success is probably they have something. I say,
(10:15):
is what makes a person successful? That inner drive, and
these two women have it and they share it. Read it.
Don't you see things? With your granddaughter that you see
in yourself. Yes, and no, Rachel is much more laid
back than I am. I mean she's not. It's aggressive.
You know I'm very short, really, yeah, you didn't know that.
(10:38):
Four for ten it's not to notice. And now I
must be less because my slacks that I put on
every day, I'm tripping over. So I must have drunk
along the way. But what I'm saying is a short
person has to be aggressive and nobody notices you basically,
and that's the drive you have. Nobody gave it to me.
I had to have it. And I see these two women,
(11:00):
that's what they have. And I admire ad and she
doesn't hide that she grew up poor and how to work.
You know, today it's like people look down on poor people. Man,
In those years, everybody worked. Nobody was born in success
to become a success, and that's what they have between them.
You could look up when you're older. That's a philosophy.
(11:20):
Work when you can, and when you reach your goal,
then you could look up. You know, my grandchildren they're
doing traveling. Now, I said, why are you doing so
much traveling? Put your energy in becoming what you want
to be. In life, and I said, when you get
older in your fifties, you'll have time to travel. Yeah,
she gives the advice I do. But the young people
(11:42):
don't think like that today. I think they live more
for the moment because nobody knows what the future is. Well,
that's it. I was just gonna say that nobody knows
what the future is. Gonna hold, Okay, Rida, it's time
for a break. You know, two old ladies have to
use the bathroom much more freequently when you young folks.
So it all depends. That's what we're doing. We didn't
(12:06):
depends and we'll be back. Okay, guys, we're back. We're
ready to go for another couple of hours. Two skin
tight clothes, Oh my goodness, not only skin tight, bare breasted.
(12:30):
Did you see the oscars? If the women had their
boobs hagging out, that's a new thing. Not only skin tight,
pressed exposial clothes. If you got him flunt, I'm right
now that I feel like it's probably close to what
I wear now. But what did you wear when you
were a teenager? You know my style. I like to
(12:51):
dress retro, very very retro. I didn't have much clothes.
We'll start there. But my favorite article of clothing was
a little skirt. It was a gray felt skirt with
a poodle on the pocket with a bell on its tail.
Oh my gosh, Now you know how long that was.
And I'm still talking about the bell on the tail
(13:13):
of the poodle skirt. I love that outfit. All the
retro stuff you weigh now is very familiar to me.
I have a poodle skirt. I'm bringing it next week.
Mine doesn't have a bell or anything like that, but
it's pink with white hearts on it. Oh god, I'll
change my entire wardrobe for your poodle skirt. I could
probably get it on one though. You're so funny. Grandma,
(13:40):
I will say, is the best to shop with, because
I'm very particular when it comes to what I wear,
and Grandma gets me to try. How would you say,
your grandma? She's trying to say it in a far
more elegant and refined way. She was maybe eighteen, with
(14:02):
this gorgeous body and stand up boobs, which, as we
will know, last fifteen minutes. We'd go shopping and she'd
buy size twenty T shirts and I'd say, so, you
can't wear those big old t shirts and jeans. Now,
if you're going to go shopping with me, you're a
(14:22):
size too, you're gonna get a size one shirt, so
with skin tight and you're gonna wear those lea talks
on that stand up rear end and you're going to
get your fifteen minutes out of it, because I promise you,
as your grandmother, at the end of the fifteen minutes,
you're gonna be saggy like the rest of the world.
So that was my brilliant advice to my grandchild, and
(14:45):
she wears tight clothes. Now it did work and got
a fabulous guy, which I credit totally to my advice.
Do you remember my friend and I we were going
to a Halloween party, as I remember, it was going
to a chocolate eminem and she was gonna be a
peanut eminem. And you sent me a tight black and
(15:06):
red sweater and leather skirt and said, put this on,
put your hair in pigtails, and go as a slu*tty
school girl because no one's going to talk to you
as an eminem. You know what, you need this type
of information from grandma. Maybe I couldn't say something like
that if you weren't such a smart capable. Get it, girl.
(15:29):
I didn't even do the slu*tty school ground. I want
to snow white and called it a day. And you
remember snow White, it's my favorite character. Oh boy, a
poodle skirt? Did you have a poodle skirt? Reader? Everybody
had a poodle skirt and a mooth toon coat. That
was the fur of the day. I remember a moot called,
(15:51):
oh my god, you thought you were wearing a chinchilla.
It was like fake beaver, fake beaver. It had the
you know, like the striped beaver has shading. But when
you felt it, it's like, what did it feel like, Ellen,
I don't even know. It felt like sake be my fava.
My aunt had a Matara coat and it was so
(16:11):
expensive and so gorgeous, and I wore my fake mouton coat,
and I remember I went out on a day and
my aunt said, you cannot wear that disgusting coat. It
was nice, don't say it was disgusting. That was my
favorite coat. And she gave me the Matara coat to wear.
And her name was Lucille Nyemark and her initials were
l N. And this guy went to put it on.
(16:31):
He says, oh, this is not your coat. These initials
are l N. I said, that's my name l N. Oh,
that's funny. That's a cute story. But I loved my
mouton coat with my four inch platform heeled shoes, and
I thought I was living in and I met my
husband and one thing he said to me, he says,
(16:53):
please don't ever wear those platform shoes anymore, because I
was very short, and if I want to go out
with a tall guy with a platform shoes, But it
didn't matter to him, he said, don't wear loathing. But
that's mutanko Ellen. It was warm though it was. It
was warm that I will give you. It was warm.
It was warm. But the grandmother, I have to say,
(17:15):
has a lot of influence on him. And she listens.
You know, I can see Adrian sort of living her
life a little bit through this great don't you get
that little feeling everything. Yes, she's throwing it all into
this granddaughter and she's accepting it nicely. Our next one
is part three, Ms Murphy. That's an enticing title. Who
(17:36):
do you think miss Murphy is? I don't know, probably
a teacher. Oh that's a good storm. Come plays more
importance in your life than a good teacher or a
bad teacher or a bad teacher. That's true. We had
a Miss Fitzgerald in our school. I still have nightmares
about her. Okay, let's see who Ms Murphy is. Did
(17:57):
your parents encourage you to start your own business. No,
they encouraged me to be a good person, to do right,
to be moral, to be educated. But those years, you'd
go to college and become a school teacher, and you
get married and have two point three kids, and no
(18:17):
one ever looked past that. But as you know, there's
a great, big life pass that, and it's a shame
that those years women were just not groomed for anything
much more than that just being mothers today. Obviously it's
a very different world and they were good parents, wonderful parents,
(18:40):
but the times dictated everything. We had such a different
kind of life as a teenager. We used to go
to the y on Tuesday night and we all meet
outside and have a soda. It was truly. You know,
people say simpler times, but they really are a simpler times.
(19:01):
And we were basically happy because we've known a better.
Would you say that your parents influenced you the most
in your life. They influenced me a lot. On one
side that you do good in the world. I guess
one of the biggest influences beside them would be my
fifth grade teacher, Ms Murphy. I desperately wanted to be
(19:25):
the smartest kid in the class, which I wasn't. I
wanted to be the kid that got a hundred on
every example, which I didn't. And Miss Murphy saw in
me someone that was going to try desperately hard to
be successful. And she moved me to the first seat
in the classroom, which is the seat she saved for
(19:46):
the smartest kid in the class. And she moved out
some little roly poly, fat, very smart little boy. Really
was all budget water. That made some little boy, Sydney.
Imagine all these years later, I remember Sydney was the
smartest kid in the class. But the truth it made
me feel great self and self is everything, and then
(20:09):
I felt I could accomplish everything. And I stayed in
Miss Murphy's number one seat for the whole semester I
was in her class. Ms Murphy definitely started me on
my career. It got me through to where I am today.
It's a long time, that's incredible, and here I am,
(20:30):
Miss Murphy. Wherever you are I love you, ellenor hit
it on the head Miss Murphy. I knew it. I
knew it well. First of all, there was always a
Miss Murphy in every school, so I figured. But obviously
this was a very positive reinforcement of what she was
and who she was. And this teacher saw it well,
(20:51):
I have to tell you in my year, it's growing up.
Whatever the teacher said that was, Laura. Do you remember
when you were in school and the principle came into
your classroom. The entire class had to stand up exactly
and stay hello to the principal and you know, good
morning Mr Weinberger, and he would go, good morning boys
and girls. Teachers today, unfortunately, I feel don't have the
(21:15):
respect for what they do. I agree completely. But do
you see when you listen to something like Adrian talking
about this teacher all these years later, This was the
big influence. This pushed her in the right direction. This
woman said to her, you can do it, you can
sit in the front row. Ellen, did you have a
(21:36):
favorite teacher when you were growing up? Oh? I definitely did.
Miss Voids my kindergarten teacher, and I remember that she
came to our house and had lunch with my mother.
It was like a visit from the Queen. I had
one to Miss Lundon I left. When I think about it,
she was a short, chubby teacher and that was me.
So I related to Miss Lundin. She was a good
(21:59):
teacher it, but there was something that pulled me to
you know. I taught for many years in Bedford Stuyvesant
in a school where the children were so so poor,
and I used to bring a big thing of orange
juice and little breakfast cakes and there was the first
and probably the only meal that those kids would get
other than the school lunch, and I didn't want them
(22:20):
to start their day with nothing. Years and years later
I heard from a young man who became an artist
and he said to me, I never forgot that. You
never let us start the day on an empty stomach.
That was nice sailing. And to this day I always
have breakfast and I think of you, and that was
a very very special thing. The teacher can be a
(22:43):
big influence, absolutely Part four the Right Reasons. For me,
it was really fun growing up. People knew who my
grandma was, so it was cool because if she was
on TV, that's my grandma. At some point, as you
get older. When people realize who someone in your family is,
(23:05):
they tend to treat you differently or they want to
be in your life for the wrong reasons. And I
had been through that with friendships, with relationships and it
wasn't real. But when I met Scott, I just made
the conscious decision that I wanted to know that this
person was coming into my life for the right reasons.
(23:28):
So Scott literally met grandma. When he met Grandma, and
he stayed with you, and you know what he loves
tight clothes to your Grandma. Were you surprised when I
decided to start my business, Not one, I owed. I
was so nervous to see what your reaction would be
(23:52):
because of your success. So I remember being very very
nervous to tell you. You know, Ashley, you moved at
a very young age to California to be an actress.
Then she stayed out there and on her own started
this business. For anyone listening that might want why you
(24:13):
didn't go into my business as it is, she wanted
to do it her way, and that's what I respect
most about Ashley. I was in a different place in
my life, I think, and I had to figure out
who I was. I wasn't ready then, you know, And
now we're going to do a bunch of new things together.
We're so great together, so I feel like it's going
(24:35):
to be a lot of fun. You know what, Ashley.
I think it's an amazing thing when a grandmother and
granddaughter should have such respect. It's a good word respect.
I think it's from the godfathers, such respect for one
another that I'd be delighted to do anything in the
(24:58):
world with you. Of course, my first preference would be
going back to all the grandma's and all this conversation
about success in life and self. I'd love you to
have a baby. Oh gosh, not yet, isn't that back
to the days of the caves. Well, I'm very happy
(25:19):
to hear Adan say I would have loved her to
come into my business, but she's so proud that she
did something on her own, and for that I really
admire Adan. And she already started with having a baby,
because when push comes to Shavrina, you can have a
big business, you can have whatever, but you want your
children to have children. You want those babies. It's just
(25:43):
human nature. Now, that's the universal thing between grandmothers. But
they seem to be very similar. They both have this
inner drive and they know what they want to do
and they respect each other for it. Every time you
say that, I want to sing it. What's the song?
R S b C. This is song we spect It's
Aretha Franklin. Oh my god? Right, okay, esp ec ta
(26:07):
right right, that's it. Respect. With respect comes love and admiration.
That's right. Really, you could take the dog out for
a quick walk now, and I'll feed my husband. Yeah,
that's it's important. That's me walking the door. Ellen, So
feed Peter. Six of one half. It doesn't have another reader.
(26:31):
We're back. We're back, The dog is sleeping, Peter is sleeping,
and we're awake. Ready to go on Part five. The
most beautiful man across the restaurant. This has to be
either Adrian's husband or the granddaughter's future, what do you think,
(26:52):
or some guy that's wearing makeup that that she gets
inspired from that. Maybe listen, she could make a men's
line of cosmetics. I don't know, maybe she does. Okay,
let's hear it. What was dating like for you before
you met Poppy Dreadful? I hated everybody. You hated everybody everybody.
(27:15):
I had a boyfriend who I didn't like that I
had for a year, And if he asked me why,
I'd say he was there. He was there when I
met your grandfather. Now, where did I meet him? In?
How it's you were on a date with another Were
you on a date with his boyfriend? Now? I was
on a date with a guy I met that was like,
(27:37):
I don't know, ten fifteen years older than me, ridiculous.
We were having dinner and he was too old for
me to start with, and everything he was talking about
I wasn't interested in including him. And I didn't drink anything,
and he ordered me, he said, tasted a black Russian.
It's Jevin, it's vodka. I think it's if I haven't
had it since, And it was delicious, but a black
(28:02):
Russian for a little girl who didn't drink. And I
looked at the bar directly across, and there was the
most beautiful, handsome, magnificent man I ever saw him my
whole life. And since I had this pretty big drink,
I looked over and very loudly said, that's the handsomest
man I ever saw in my life. And he was
(28:24):
standing at the bar with his father, your great grandfather,
who was a Scotch distributor in New York. That's why
they were standing at the bar. And I said it
so loud. He turned around and laughed and said thank you.
And that was the end of that. My date was
sitting there. He went to the men's room ten minutes later,
(28:46):
and this magnificent man came over and asked me for
my phone number, and I give him my phone number.
I'm in ecstasy and I go home and I tell
my mother I met the man of my dreams. Ah,
And you know, your grandfather was the handsomest guy that
That wasn't me. He was movie star handsome. He was
(29:08):
a very good looking man. He was six ft two,
beautiful man. Anyway, my mother said, you were out with
one gentleman and you gave your phone number to another gentleman.
He thinks you're a trap. You cannot meet someone like that,
and you had a drink on top of it. Absolutely,
(29:29):
those were the times. And the next day he called
and my mother answers the phone and says she's eating
her chicken, because Mom, you told him I'm meeting my chicken.
And says call back and hangs up. She says, you
cannot go out with him, You cannot go out with him. Well,
he called back, and I sat by that phone until
(29:52):
I answered the phone, and he said, would you like
to go to the museum tomorrow and see the oh
Dan exhibit. So when we got married six months later,
I don't know if my mother was grateful and happy
or not. I'm not so sure. But my whole next
(30:12):
fifty years with that man, he was always the most
beautiful man. From of course the room of the restaurant,
I hope you would life goes as well. They're gonna
make me cry. Before I met Scott, do you remember
helping me text guys? Absolutely? Do you remember like writing
them out with me? Like literally a guy would write
(30:33):
hey with two wise and we would try to decipher
what that meant and how to respond or could he
just not spell right. We didn't know whether it was
like ignorance, or if they were trying to be cool,
or if there was like a broken keyboard or something.
We did analyze a lot of those guys until Scott
came along. Right, There was no analyzing with Scott. We
(30:54):
just had grabbed him. Well, I met Scott and I
called mom, I called dad, I called you on the
way to San Diego with my friend in the car,
saying I met the man I'm gonna marry. I met
him in a coffee shop two blocks away from my house,
and ten days later we went on our first date.
And let me tell you, there are very few Scots around.
(31:19):
And you know it, I'm not telling you something you
don't know. Well, remember the Laska I dated before. We
liked him so much, the lawyer. But your mother loves Scott,
your father loves Scott. I love Scott, and we're happy
you love Scott too. Yeah, you know what, he reminds
me of Poppy in a lot of ways, which ways.
(31:42):
Maybe just because he's so handsome. I'm so damn superficial.
It's sad. Well they're both six too. Yeah, he's calm,
he's smart, and since you're so much like me, he
can take you like your grandfather could take me. How
many extra points does he get for that? I know
that's like a million, because we're both such a pain
(32:05):
in the ass. Yeah, where Scott, he's not coming, He's coming, Scott, seriously,
come down, Grandma said, But you know it's grandma now.
He's like, oh, I'm coming now, it's just Grandma Oh,
what two beautiful love stories. I love that they call
(32:25):
him Poppy. That's what my kids call Peter. Yeah, mine
called him Papa, But okay, Poppy is a cuter. But
you know she really she has everything with this grandmother
to the notes that she gets from boyfriends. What girls
did they do that? Oh, they must have been two
beautiful men, which she said is a little superficial. But look,
they saw other things, that's for sure. Cause beautiful men
(32:47):
are not easy to marry because most men love themselves
when they're not beautiful. So can you imagine when they
are beautiful? So you see how lucky our husband's were
that they got the beautiful one. That's right. Somebody said
to me, I never don't want to marry a man
who's more beautiful than I am. The relationship is really
a very interesting it's like a holemock movie. Yeah, like
(33:08):
a home that's true. But poor girl becomes a pig,
that's true. I mean, you know, really when you think
about it. Here she's out on a date with a
guy and she sees another guy standing at the bar,
and she goes over and she talks to him. It's
a hormark man. Did you just see the Jewish mother
saying she's eating her chicken. She didn't talk to you.
(33:29):
I was hysterical that you wouldn't see on a Hallmark movie.
I guarantee it. But that was so funny. She's eating
her chicken. The guns hung up with that kind of mother.
Who needs this girl? But he was he was consistent,
and she was smart. She stayed by the world. Now
you have me very wondering why we never see a
(33:50):
Jewish mother at a home. That's right, they don't need chicken, alright, jee, Okay,
this is our last part, part six. Your own worth, then,
I think is going to kind of capsualize her whole life.
That's how she imprisses me, Adrian, don't you think so?
(34:13):
Knowing your own word, knowing right, and you can hear
it all through this whole thing. Okay, let's see if
we're right. Did anyone in your life ever tell you
you couldn't or you shouldn't do something you really wanted
to do? Not only anyone, everyone there were, particularly those years,
(34:38):
everything you couldn't do as a woman and little you
could do as a woman. So not for me. Was
I was going to do it? If I was going
to be in the Girl Scouts. I was going to
be the leader of the pack. I graduated high school, work,
went to college, went to school at night for five years.
I did what I had to do. So amazing women
(35:01):
those years you got married, had children, and your husband
was the boss show you say. I think the difference
today with the world and the relationship you when Scott
will have is you'll be partners now. As you know,
your grandfather and I were partners. But that was very
unusual because I was a success in business very young,
(35:26):
and you learned very early. You know your own worth today.
I think it's ingrained in young women. Yeah. I think
I always recognized that early on with you and Poppy,
that you guys were always partners. He was very proud
of me and very supportive of whatever I did, and
my career blossom because he helped it. You know, you
(35:51):
asked who influenced me most of my life. Ms. Murphy
in the fifth grade and my husband Ron. Your grandfather.
He was one fabulous guy, your grandpa, he really was.
You're going to be a real partner. I think you
keep your own money, you invest your own money, and
if you want to do something together, you pool your money.
(36:12):
But I think everything should be independent. Your decisions should
be what you want to do. Now, Scott may listen
to this and not be so happy with it, but
I do mean it in the nicest way. Yeah. I
think that's clear you're your own person. Yeah. I think
that that was one of the things that hopefully he
(36:33):
fell in love with first. I believe that what is
your best advice to someone who has big dreams but
doesn't know where to start? First, you have to find
your way. What is it you want to do and
what you believe you're capable of doing. You know you're
not going to be an astronaut, So you find your
(36:57):
way and then you get on that train and you
keep going till you get where you're going. But the
only way that works is back to head down. Don't
look up, take no curves, and you know what else,
If you look up after you've accomplished, when you're reasonably successful,
(37:17):
you'll be happy with yourself going forward. You'll have a
sense of self as you say, and keep on learning.
I love that. Thank you, Love you, baby girl. I'll
talk to you later. That's really nice, beautiful good advice.
What you make, it's your money. I agree with that
(37:39):
I always kept our account separate. Yeah, you don't count
I paid for this, you pay for that. That's not
what I'm saying. But if you work, you're entitled to
have your own money what you want to do with it. Absolutely,
And I think that their relationship was a very very
strong one. He respected right. I don't think that it
hurt him. He respected her. She made a successful business.
(38:01):
She was not a stupid woman. She always heard her
own drama and marches right after it and doesn't look back. Yeah,
you know what else, I think grandmothers are younger today.
That's true. My grandmother was sixty eight years old when
she died. She was an old old lady right right today,
women in their seventies and eighties, a young women ready
(38:23):
to look at us. We do a podcast. That's true
that we would ever believe that. That's why there's such
a relationship between grandmothers and grandchildren today. My grandmother was
like this old lady, And if I wanted to know
how to make a chicken, I would ask my grandma. Now,
I loved my grandmother, but I knew when we went there,
the first thing to sit down, I got a good
dinner for you. You know that wasn't it right now?
(38:46):
But this is such a nice relationship and you could
see Adrian sees herself in this granddaughter and they're both successful,
but in their own way and their own individual way. Absolutely,
