1:03In case you missed it, you're allowed to be hot, smart, and rich. So let's get into it.
1:13So ballsy. I literally just put on my iPhone without seeing if I'm properly filming, but we're going to fuck around and find out. I think that is my new favorite slogan. Hi, angels. Welcome to another episode of Hot, Smart, Rich, the show. no longer just the podcast because today we are going to do something completely different. You're going to come with me to London, England. And I was thinking a lot about success and starting new things. And the best part, if you are not yet a creator or you're not yet an entrepreneur, but you want to be is the beginning because you can literally fuck around and find out.
1:50You can experiment. You can talk about what you're passionate about, see what sticks. And for me, travel is such a big part of my life independently and with Courtney, my partner. I feel like for the next few months, we're going everywhere from Japan, South Korea, Hawaii. We're going to spend so much time in Europe this summer that being on the road is just in my lifestyle and it's in my DNA. So I wanted to take you guys along with me to London, England, where you're still going to be able to see the way that I actually operate and do business, but in a different format. So little disclaimer, if you are not watching on YouTube or Spotify, navigate over to those platforms just for this one.
2:35There are a lot of sit downs that I'm going to explain, like how did our meeting with Unilever Ventures go? What are they focusing on? What did I wear to certain meetings? What do I feel like is the best way to get work done when you're remote? But there's also a lot of visual stuff in this podcast. And I think that's what's so beautiful about building a hot, smart, rich life is it's not all just like wisdom or questions. Like there's a lot of visual creative stuff in here that I was super excited to film. So I am excited to just fuck around and find out and see if this is something that you guys like.
3:11I loved it. I loved being in London, England. despite having just had my breast augmentation. I even looking back at Megan's episode was so swollen. Like I could not fit into anything other than one pair of pants, which you guys have seen multiple times me talking about because I'm obsessed with them. But it was hard. Like you're wearing these compression garments that make you feel like you don't even really know the sensations of your body. And at some points in your body, you don't because literally like your sensation was taken away for a period of time. I was super inflamed and throughout all of that, I still had such a great trip.
3:51I don't know if I would have booked the trip had I done my diligence properly and understood just like how serious of a surgery this was and how hard my body was going to feel afterwards. But nonetheless, it was such a productive week. I met with everybody from portfolio companies to potential prospective LPs, had meetings with Lucky Number 3 and Unilever Ventures, did get to go to some really cool health startups. That is part of my job, seeing what's trending. You're going to see me go to Neko Health or Neko Health, which was started by the founder of Spotify. It is the future of healthcare.
4:29I am going to do a whole separate video on that experience because as somebody that has had a lot of health challenges and problems my whole life, it was truly the first time I have felt a sense of anxiety leave my body after being a hypochondriac. You intimately understand your body like no other health practitioner has ever been able to do for me. You're doing everything from blood work, scans, mole mapping. You are doing obviously like metabolic, not obviously. I've never had this done for me. You're doing metabolic conditioning just by taking scans of your veins and like how fast I guess your blood is moving.
5:04There was parts I didn't even understand. Long story short, London, England was such a great way for me to just like tap into being a consumer, tap into the network there. So much business happens in Europe. But the best part of my week was definitely meeting all of the HSR angels that came out to join the juice on my last night. I can't believe 30 of you came. Like when I think about that, it is truly amazing. and the very exciting announcement that we actually moved up in the launch schedule because of that event is the global HSR WhatsApp channel. You guys have been asking me for years to have a place where you guys can connect with each other and I think when we trialed Slack way back in the day it was it didn't work for me because this is not a way to like contact just me it's a way to like build community in cities across the world with other ambitious driven women who are over being unwell and honestly want to become the most financially independent, strong, successful, celebrated women that they can be.
6:10And this is the place for you to do that. I want you guys to share podcast recommendations, events going on in your city, updates about your startups, working remotely sessions. And this meetup in London was definitely like the kick in the butt that I needed to just launch it and get going. So there's going to be a global channel for everybody. And then we're actually going to have a few different cities. So like London, Toronto, which are the most international, obviously Toronto, LA, San Francisco, New York, and Austin. And then there's so much more to come with these global cities and meetups, but let's go to London, England, and please give me your feedback.
6:49As always, I'm here to build this community with you guys. And if you haven't already, please, please, please rate and review the podcast. That is all that I am going to ask of you. I'm literally going to start like begging. So don't make me do that and make me the happiest ever this Wednesday. Let's go to London, England, bitches.
7:22so
7:35hi guys good morning vlog just got to land in england i can't really say it's the morning even though I just ate breakfast as we were landing but it's 6 30 in the night here Courtney just went out to go do a little gym workout which I still can't do after surgery which is definitely a lot harder after a full day of traveling I feel like I got a little bit more swollen for sure on the flight after I feel like I was making so much progress but I just took a shower quick thing before I put this away this is the best primer I have ever used it is like my new religion it keeps your makeup on so well you need this it's from Milk Makeup um I feel like I was making so much progress on my swelling and then getting onto a flight and it was actually a very quick flight it was only nine hours and 30 minutes but you just swell up so much more and not with a huge ability to walk yet since it's only been day 10.
8:41I'm just going to unpack, get ready, maybe meditate, and then take you guys with us to dinner in London. Okay, I have to do a quick intermission to show you what you have to wear for like at least a month. This is the compression suit. You are so swollen that like everywhere is compressed. I have to wear underpants over it because there's a hole for when you first sit in a surgery that you can easily go to the bathroom, but this has to fit underneath everything that I'm wearing this week in London, including a wedding dress, so, or a dress to a wedding, not my own wedding, but wish me luck.
9:20It's a work dress. It's like a work dress.
9:27This looks like now, okay. Daddy leads our family. That's what his job is.
9:38I love laughing with you. We're going to dinner now.
9:56we are going to lead the soccer game right now Courtney are you excited oh yeah what are you eating I'm just trying to have my breakfast in peace oh hi I'm having a jet lag night. You're having a jet lag night? Okay, yeah, so we do this. Anyway, so we do this jet lag program called Fly Kit, and we've flown now to India, Taiwan, and London with zero jet lag. It's 8, is it 8 o 'clock in the morning? 8.45 in the morning. And we feel great. Did you get eight hours of sleep? No. How many hours of sleep did you get?
10:43That's a big difference according to Bernie. It is, but it's just an optimum passport. Do you want to say anything to the vlog this morning? No, I didn't even know I was vlogging. I just thought I was here, but okay. Nice to see you vlogging. I don't really know what you were going to be with us so much.
11:14Thank you.
11:43Okay guys we just made it to the Leeds Stadium just in time for the game to start. We did miss lunch but we're about to go watch in the Chairman's Suite so let's go!
12:13Okay so this is the little corner that we first met up on in London after Paris when you invited me back. Remember you couldn't get enough of me? I couldn't get enough of you. And we're back here. And we're about to go to dinner. Alright.
12:39That's a really good juice. I'm going to give it a 8 out of 10 because it's a little warm.
12:50Yeah, pretty good. 8.5 out of 10? Yeah.
13:12Thank you.

14:39okay wow look at me oh my god i can't even handle it you look so good in a tux eczema isn't always obvious but it's real and so is the relief from ebglyss After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EBCLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintained skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. EBCLIS, LibriKizumab, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema.
15:18Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. EPCLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to EPCLIS. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with EPCLIS. Before starting EPCLIS, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Searching for real relief? Ask your doctor about EPCLIS and visit ePCLIS.lily.com or call 1-800-LILY-RX or 1-800-545-5979.
