The following podcast is a deer media production guys. I'm so excited about today's episode because you all love love this creator and I feel honored that she has become a friend of mine over the past.

I guess like two years we kind of talk about this like trying to figure out the timing.

But today we are joined by the one and only Lucy think Lucy is so many things good lord this woman wear so many fucking hats.

You probably follow her on social media already at Lucy be think she is a prominent youtuber and lifestyle influencer prior to going off on her own she worked at refinery 29 which we talk a lot about like her career history her past how she got to where she is today and she's most notably known for the series she did that was called try living with Lucy where she took on social experiments for five days at a time some things like I mean eating pizza for five days only like going without her phone for five days.

Stuff that I'm kind of like did you ever get sick of doing this shit. We dive into a lot about work stuff and then also motherhood postpartum being in this industry she gave birth exactly six months after me and I am blessed to call her a friend especially in all things motherhood over the past year and a half plus and I really hope you guys enjoy this episode because I had so much fun recording it.

And I know that there are a lot of crossover between our communities so without further ado here is Lucy.

There's so much we can dive into and we were even discussing stuff offline being like okay we can say that we can go back to it.

I'm really curious to kick it off like the way that you run your business is really inspiring to me and like feels very I don't have elevated is the word but you're not a typical influencer in my opinion you have like a full fucking production company.

No like legit and similarly you were just saying you love editing these movies and you spend hours that is foreign to me just because it's not what I do so I'm curious like what lights you up the most about your work.

From the start of my life okay not the start of my life going back to when I was maybe three okay I have family movies where my dad's filming and I'm screaming being like I want a film can I take the camera.

And even all my childhood videos they just watch them this weekend it's my my parents are saying you know we're going to play this as a movie for grandma when we get home say hi to grandma and I always thought of it as a film.

And then once I got a little bit older I started taking control of the camera and actually making content like I was making commercials actually for products around the house how to brush your teeth using this Phillips toothbrush.

Here's how to make the perfect peanut butter jelly I wish I could find this footage I remember it but I don't absolutely need to I know it would be in my treasure trove but I can't find it and I probably can't play it if I found it because it's right.

A VHS something and I always love that truly always loved it that translated into me being in the drama club and being the president of my high schools drama club that translated to in college me being the president of my

Acapella group and performing okay and we're due to college John Hopkins my senior solo was called remarkable vagina.

And it was it was actually a Terrence other song that's no longer on YouTube but it's about a woman who shoved drugs up her vagina and then was busted by the cops got and they pulled everything out.

But that's kind of what I reveled in in college and was always performing I absolutely would not have chosen at that point to be like I'll just start a YouTube channel.

I wanted to work for a company so I said I'm gonna get a job as a behind the scenes producer at Ogle V and I remember saying to myself if the on camera opportunity presents itself I will take it but I'm not seeking it at this time.

Of course once I got to Ogle V all I ever talked about to everyone I met was that I wanted to be on camera and I took every opportunity I could to do something on camera for the company just internally.

Like I was hosting some content that was being sent around to Ogle V like global North America whatever internal emails and I made a video.

It's actually still on YouTube I think that was just make introducing people to the CEO of Ogle V and made their North America and showing him in a fun light playing with me because at the time I kind of started as an intern before becoming a producer.

And I was just always talking to people about wanting to be on camera and that networking was very useful because I met a woman we had a meeting I treated it like a job interview although I was already working for her company.
