Summary
How do you define success? Is it monetary? Something that can be measured by your societal status? Or, to steal from the musical Rent, can it be measured in moments and love? Next week, I move back to New York City and if I'm being honest, I'm anxious about the move. New York City is a really tough place to live and after last year, I thought I was done with being chewed up and spit out.
Let me know how you define success in the comments below! And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the Run, Selfie, Repeat podcast on iTunes or Google Play if you haven't already!

| 0:00.0 | You guys yesterday, I was jamming out so hard to wicked that I just felt unstoppable. |
| 0:11.5 | Anyways, hey, welcome to episode 20 of the Run, Selfie Repeat podcast, where we talk about life |
| 0:16.5 | with a side of running. |
| 0:18.8 | My name's Kelly Roberts, and I'm going to be your Wicked Witch of the West |
| 0:22.6 | for the evening. And speaking of Defying Gravity, can we just talk about success for a second? |
| 0:32.6 | Because today, I was getting coffee, and the man in front of me, I'm going to say he was an older gentleman. |
| 0:43.0 | He was talking about millennials and how they're lazy to the stranger next to him. |
| 0:47.3 | And I kind of turned to him and I was like, I'm a millennial and I'm not lazy. |
| 0:51.5 | And he was like, yeah, what do you do? |
| 0:53.0 | And I started naming all the different |
| 0:54.1 | hats I wear that I'm a podcast host and producer, that I have a, you know, successful blog and that I'm a freelance writer and then I have a vlog, you know, that I'm in marketing and advertising and sales and content development. And he turns to me and he's like, well, it sounds like you just need work life balance. And I turned to him and I'm like, yeah, you're telling me. |
| 1:13.5 | Lazy is a word I wouldn't use to describe myself. |

| 1:19.8 | I'm still really, really, really young. |
| 1:21.9 | And I would argue that I have had quite a bit of success in the blogging world. I'm a full-time blogger. This is what I do |
| 1:31.0 | for my living. I'm a sponsored human. I'm sponsored by Wazelle Strava. And I make money |
| 1:38.6 | making content for people to inspire them to kind of be their best, strongest, happiest selves. |
| 1:46.9 | But success is such a strange word because I don't really know how to define it. Because for me, |
| 1:55.7 | monetary success has never been what I'm after. And I am the first person to say that money is something I think |
| 2:05.1 | about often because I need it. I need it to pay rent. I need it to pay my health insurance. I need |
| 2:13.2 | it to pay my student loans. I need it to feed myself. I need it because I don't know how to say no to a good |
| 2:18.1 | time. So if someone's like, hey, Kelly, let's go to Mexico to run this marathon, I'm like, yes, let's do it. |
