JOYELY A Love Affair of Human Hearts

People ache to find their purpose. And often, it’s been with you your whole life – you just didn’t know how to recognize it as such. That persistent, niggling part of yourself that just won’t let you alone? Probably your purpose. That thing that...

People ache to find their purpose. And often, it’s been with you your whole life – you just didn’t know how to recognize it as such. That persistent, niggling part of yourself that just won’t let you alone? Probably your purpose. That thing that everyone recognizes as being uniquely you and they count on for? Probably your purpose expressed. For Sheryl Lynn, her purpose was ultimately recognized as that insistent calling toward anything that brought her joy. She recognizes she needed it, and so does everyone else. And now, she’s built a platform around her brand called JOYELY. And she’s supporting a Joy Movement set to serve 1 billion people as they find, be, and share their joy with the world. Take a seat, you’re worth it.

1
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.400
What's working on Purpose anyway? Each
week we ponder the answer to this question.

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.080
People ache for meaning and purpose at
work to contribute their talents passionately and

3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:20.239
know their lives really matter. They
crave being part of an organization that inspires

4
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:25.079
them and helps them grow into realizing
their highest potential. Business can be such

24
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.079
us today is Cheryllynn, founder of
Joyly. We'll be talking about what led

25
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.120
her to launch this joyous venture,
why it's so important to her, and

26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.359
what she plans to do to help
people realize by being connected to it.

27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.719
She dow it today from Las Vegas, Nevada. Cheryl, welcome to working

28
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.959
on Purpose. Well, thank you
for having me, doctor alist Courtes.

29
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.680
Nice to be here. Absolutely,
it's fantastic and we have really got some

30
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.480
fun things to share with our listeners. But I always like to talk about

31
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.919
how I find my guests and so
I'm going to let you do most of

32
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:10.719
the heavylifting on this, but let
me say that we know it was last

33
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.319
summer in twenty nineteen and you were
making a drive from I think Michigan to

34
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.919
Oregon and somehow found my radio show. So tell us your side of the

35
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.080
story as to how it was that
we met. So thank you. I

36
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.120
think that I was on I was
a heat seeking missile on that entire drive.

37
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:36.800
I was on my way for information. I couldn't stop googling. And

38
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.960
so yes, I was off to
visit my daughter in Portland and stay with

39
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:45.719
her for a summer. She just
needed some support. And so in the

40
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:50.599
back of my mind, I'd just
gotten off a walk across America and I

41
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.199
needed to do something different. I
was just stuck, and so I was

42
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.960
googling how to get my little life
on track once again at age fifty five,

43
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.439
how to live my passion and purpose. And so there you were.

44
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.639
I listened to the entire show of
Melarek Mitchel, and I was so inspired.

45
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.360
I called you seconds later, and
I think you called me back maybe

46
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.240
an hour later or something. And
it's been a history. It's been you

47
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.240
know, a rocket science ever since
with you. Oh, it's so great.

48
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.240
You know, a couple of things
we have to talk about really quick,

49
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.800
and I do want our listeners to
hear just what it was about the

50
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.199
message that Melan I had together that
resonated for you. Let me say two

51
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.159
things. First, One is,
listeners, if you don't recognize this idea

52
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.439
what I call, you know,
the half life. I got this idea

53
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.719
from Dan Pink and it's in the
book that I'm releasing this year. Is

54
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.719
there's something and cherylt if you can
relate to this. When we get to

55
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.360
that half of our life, whether
it's our forties or our fifties, oftentimes

56
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:54.199
many of us register this intense urgency
to redirect and reorient ourselves and darn it,

57
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.960
just get on with the program,
did you? Is that what you

58
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.840
felt? Yes, that's exactly what
you all were talking about. It's like,

59
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.280
whatever it is, just get to
it. Like it's not about you.

60
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.520
It's it's the world waiting for your
vision and your dreams, and so

61
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.439
get out of your own way.
Basically is what you all said. And

62
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.840
so I said, okay, yeah, and what you wrote to me and

63
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:16.759
your email, I'll say, I'll
just say it here. So you said,

64
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.360
Mail spoke of alignment, audacious goals
and starting a movement, and if

65
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.439
that's not what you've done, I
don't know what is right. And he

66
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.319
said, we know so many people
that are screaming to do something else.

67
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.560
If you're looking to make a shift, step step on it, get to

68
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.680
it. And then you said that
we both talked about mentors, and so

69
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.319
you called and the rest, of
course is history. So you said that

70
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.519
basically the conversation gave you permission and
validation to be you. That's exactly right,

71
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.560
I think. I think at last
I just I was always just unable

72
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.560
to connect. And I knew that
I had this innate sense of joy,

73
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.319
but I needed someone to say that
it was okay. So that validation didn't

74
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.040
really come from anyone until you and
I spoke, you know, And that's

75
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.959
so great. That's why it's so
important for me to do the work that

76
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.040
I do. So the next thing
I want to share really quick is,

77
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.040
you know, in my own purpose
journey itself, Cheryl, the first part

78
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.439
of the purpose journey was recognizing that
I exist at to awaken people to their

79
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.199
passion, inspiration, and purpose.
And I've been doing that for the last

80
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.720
couple of years. Only recently have
I then added the V two element of

81
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.360
that, the version two point zero, and that in addition to awakening to

82
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.360
your passion inspiration purpose, now I
want you to unleash that, and so

83
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.040
getting to be with you on your
journey as you just take and you unleash

84
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.560
your purpose and your passion. That's
where it's at for me. Because here's

85
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.120
the thing. If right now,
only one percent of the global population is

86
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.240
fully living their purpose, and according
to Karen Hoyas, that's the number when

87
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.360
we get to three percent. She
says that human consciounces will we raise such

88
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.560
that peace is actually possible. So
for me to live in my purpose to

89
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.959
be able to somehow help people.
And I didn't help you, person,

90
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.560
say, except I was on your
journey. But if I get to be

91
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.120
able to help more people unleash their
purpose, well, now we've done something.

92
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.720
That's why I wanted to have you
on the show. Well, I

93
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:13.040
tell you what, if you can
do you know half of what you've done

94
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.879
for me, for the rest of
the world. You know, the world

95
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.160
will be ignited with an immense amount
of joy and vision. And there's a

96
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.199
lot of movements to create. And
if you are the fuel behind them,

97
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.079
so be it. Well, it's
so grateful. That's my light, right,

98
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.439
that's so, that's the light that
I get to I get to live

99
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.040
in so and you know it,
only it's only precious for me when I

100
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.720
get to see people like you who
actually go forth and make it happen.

101
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.560
So you already had this idea,
you know when you when you called me

102
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.480
on the phone, you already had
this idea. You had a general gist

103
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.279
of where you wanted to go,
and that was the Red Dress story.

104
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.680
So say where that came from?
And why was it so important to you?

105
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.079
What was it? The Red dress
story? Yeah? So it was

106
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.600
called the Red dream a dream?
Excuse me, That's okay, because I

107
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.120
always felt like I was dreaming and
Red I dreamt of, you know,

108
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.399
being share when I grew up one
day, and I always had bulls in

109
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:11.360
red gloves and just dancing and performing, and so I always I felt like

110
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.279
I felt like there was something there, although that wasn't really it. It

111
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.040
was really me connecting with my joy. So I knew that I wanted something

112
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.560
extraordinary. I wanted my own brand
through abundance. I wanted to connect with

113
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.480
people in a fun and joyful way
for myself. And so the Red Dream

114
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.040
was kind of my first step into
that coming out party, if you will.

115
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.759
So I ran off to Vegas.
I left my family in the Midwest,

116
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.399
and I told them all I was
coming here just to figure out if

117
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.759
I wanted to live in Vegas.
And so I secretly camped at Red Rock

118
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.560
Cabin. Can Red Rock really?
And of course you did, yes,

119
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.240
keep going tell anybody. And so
it took me two weeks to muster up

120
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.759
the courage. I was sitting having
coffee one morning and I googled nearest the

121
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.480
dance studio. So I the guy
that the gentleman that answered the phone was

122
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.720
actually with Dancing with the Stars.
He was with a Dance with Me studio,

123
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.560
which was about two miles away from
where I was sitting, and he

124
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.600
said, come and meet Serna.
She'll give you five lessons and life will

125
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.800
be grand. And so the next
morning I got up and I went over.

126
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.839
I walked into the studio scared to
death, and they heard what I

127
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.399
wanted to do, which was to
perform for one or two senior centers before

128
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.279
I left. By the end of
October, which was exactly two weeks from

129
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.959
that moment. So that's what happened. I ended up practicing on helicopter pads

130
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.039
and in parks all across Las Vegas, and I performed from my first set

131
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.159
of seniors, about seventy five of
them, and they had a blast.

132
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.240
We had a blast together, and
I just felt the you know, not

133
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.600
just it wasn't happiness. It wasn't
like, oh, it's just a moment

134
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.399
of happy. It was like this
innate joy that no one ever could take

135
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.320
away from me. Again, So
that's really what sparked joyly wow, and

136
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.600
it just not magnif So let's just
hang on to that for just a second,

137
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.399
because that went by so fast and
there were so much in that.

138
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.679
And one of the things I have
written about you right to celebrate you,

139
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.120
is that you know, what you've
been able to do and accomplish in such

140
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.879
a short amount of time, Cheryl, is nothing short of stunning. How

141
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.399
do you respond? How do you
answer for that? I mean, how

142
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.960
is that possible? What you've been
able to do in that amount of time?

143
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.679
I think it was just the years
and years and years of looking and

144
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.840
searching and running. I think I
moved forty times. I you know,

145
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.559
I started a gazillion businesses all that
were complete failures, and I think I

146
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:43.440
was just sheerly had sheer exhaustion from
trying to figure out the thing one more

147
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.000
time. And so I gave myself
thirty days. I said, you're going

148
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.759
to get yourself to stand up straight, and either you're going to do it

149
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.039
or not. And so I just
decided I had to do it. There

150
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.720
was no more time to think about
things. And that goes back that halftime

151
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.200
stuff for sure. Now what I'm
not sure about, and I don't know

152
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.360
if you can, if you can
articulate this, but do you think joyly

153
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:13.480
is your passion your purpose or both? I think yeah, both, definitely

154
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.799
both. I just I feel like
I feel like joy requires connection, right,

155
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.720
So if you're connected to other people
or creativity or whatever it is that

156
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.879
you're connected to, it's in the
moment. And I always felt like I

157
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.600
was really really good at being in
the moment, and I just couldn't figure

158
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.480
out who else could, and I
didn't know who to talk to about it.

159
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.759
Like I sensed happiness and we had
parties and we had friends and we

160
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:46.000
did all that, but there was
really no sense of like long term,

161
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.120
I couldn't I really just never sensed
what joyful was to anyone else but myself.

162
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.320
So all through the years when I
was building organizations in real estate and

163
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.000
I owned a barn grill, I
was always the joyful one in the crowd.

164
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.080
I was always the one radiating the
most energy. That was always the

165
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:05.159
one that people came to when they
wanted to feel good. So I was

166
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.960
so then. So I think Red
Dream was just the catalyst to that.

167
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.279
It was just me connecting my soul, you know, to that to the

168
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:20.080
word joy. So somewhere along the
lawn you got some advice to write out

169
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.279
all the things that bring you joy
along those lines. When did that happen?

170
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.960
So that was That was three weeks
into my stay here in Las Vegas.

171
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.200
I was off. I picked up
a flyer on the off the street

172
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.679
outside of a gym, and I'd
been looking for dance shoes, and I

173
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.559
flipped over the flyer and it said
dance shoes available, please call. And

174
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.840
so I called Kimberly and she ended
up being amazing. She sold me dance

175
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:54.039
shoes, but she also took me
off to a seminar with Dale Halloway and

176
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.159
Las Vegas. It was a two
day seminar and she's like, you want

177
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.200
to do it. I'm like,
of course I want to do it,

178
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.759
Like I'm here to figure this out. What am I? I don't know.

179
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.679
Why wouldn't I do it? So
I went and the whole purpose was

180
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.600
about just processing the junk in your
life, like getting it out, writing

181
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.600
it down, writing down all the
things about money, all the things about

182
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.200
fear, all the things about you
know, worry and you know, family

183
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.240
and relationship. And I just wrote
and wrote and wrote and wrote for two

184
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.720
full days and then I had a
big bonfire at the end and let it

185
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.600
all go the best I could.
Okay. So that's I think what you're

186
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.519
getting at there, specifically, because
you and I talked about some of the

187
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.120
catalysts that contributed to your awakening to
joy, and you said things like the

188
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.840
Parkland shooting and things. Is that
what you're talking about? Yes? So

189
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.559
so back in twenty sixteen, I
was living in South Lake, Tahoe,

190
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:52.080
and I had really just started.
Well, yes, the Parkland shooting happened

191
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.639
and there was seventeen deaths and seventeen
injuries, and that sort of was the

192
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.480
field for me. Remembering the John
F. Kennedy shoe the Rodney King where

193
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.399
sixty three people died in the LA
Riots and two thousand some odd people were

194
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.320
injured, and then the Sandy Hook
and then you know, just on and

195
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.720
on and on, and I just
I think, I just I was just

196
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.519
tired. And so that's when I
went on that you know, eighteen hundred

197
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.279
mile trip across America. So I
started from Key West, Florida, and

198
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.039
ended up in San Francisco with a
small crew. So that that was the

199
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.200
beginning of me going this isn't this
isn't okay anymore. I just can't live

200
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.039
a regular job. I can't you
know, work a nine to five.

201
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.000
I can't build consumer based businesses.
We don't need any more consumerism, which

202
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.759
was the company that I was running
with my family. So yeah, so

203
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.039
that was all fuel for me to
say there's got to be something else.

204
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.200
And when I got done with the
walk Walk Across, Walking Across to America

205
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.399
in August of twenty nineteen, I
decided that that's when something else had to

206
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.960
change. And that's when I jumped
in the car and went to Las Vegas

207
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.360
and started a red dream. Well, so part of what I find fascinating

208
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.480
about your story and listeners this is
really something for you to ponder for yourself.

209
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.200
This whole thing about joy for you, Cheryl, was like so writ

210
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.200
large in your life, Like it
was like a bundley obvious, like a

211
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.559
you know, a tattoo stamped on
your forehead. Right, it was like

212
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.720
gurgling just beneath the surface, you
know. Yes, kind of put my

213
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.679
finger on it, right, And
how great is that? Right? And

214
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.639
so part of it is and this
is the opportunity that we all have is

215
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.320
to start. And some of it's
just what you did with the radio show,

216
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.200
is you kind of engage. What
you did was you engage with our

217
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:39.559
conversation that Melani I had and you
kind of let it wash over you.

218
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.240
You leaned into it, you played
with it, you wrestled with it,

219
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.320
and from that wrestling catalyzed a little
bit more understanding for yourself. And that's

220
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.759
the process. Then you can start
to get more present to this magical thing

221
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.720
that is uniquely you and usually often
your purpose, which is exactly what happened

222
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.000
to you. That's amazing that you
can put that so eloquently. Yes,

223
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.519
so my purpose and my why and
everything became about joy. It was like

224
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.240
the only thing that I felt like
I could focus on to get more of

225
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.960
and if I could, I just
started asking myself questions. It's like,

226
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.919
how do I feel more joy?
And how do I get other people to

227
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.000
join me in that joy? And
those are the only two questions I had

228
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.960
that were the fuel to everything that
we're doing now. So, and here's

229
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.320
where it gets interesting. After the
break, I want you to presence more

230
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.120
of just really what is joyly so
that the listeners really understand it. But

231
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.639
before I do, I want to
take us back to Aaron Hurst's work on

232
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.440
purpose. He wrote a book called
The Purpose Economy, and he does work

233
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.360
in the purpose space like I do
as well. He also hosts an annual

234
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.720
purpose conference. But he says that
for things to qualify as a purpose,

235
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:52.279
one, you have to be serving
a need beyond yourself, so not just

236
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.279
your need for joy, but others. And that's what you're doing. Two,

237
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.759
in the process of being of service
to your purpose, you are personally

238
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.440
growing you certainly I see it every
week when we talk. And three you're

239
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.639
building a community, which is exactly
what you're doing. How cool is that?

240
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.200
Right? So cool? I know. So Aaron Hurst, You're spot

241
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:15.840
on right. We've got proof we've
got evidence and her name is cherylyn And

255
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:45.200
Purpose. Thanks for staying with us, and welcome back to working on purpose.

256
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:47.759
If you're just joining us, my
guest is Cheryl Nn, founder of

257
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.400
Joyly. I'm your host, doctor
Relix Cortes. Before we pick up where

258
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.119
we left off here, Cheryl,
let me grab a question here from Josh.

259
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.039
He's in the live chat room.
Josh wants to know what do you

260
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.920
mean by purpose? So, Josh, for my vantage point as a purpose

261
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.480
researcher and practitioner. There's lots of
ways to answer that, but my favorite

262
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.680
way and the easiest way I think
to get it is what Zach berccurio says.

263
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.000
He's been on the show before,
but he says, purpose is our

264
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:17.359
unique reason for being that betters the
world. So just think about that for

265
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.559
so for that just a second.
If you look at Cheryl, her unique

266
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.480
reason for being is about spreading joy
and that does better the world. So

267
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.240
with that, Cheryl, tell us
help our listeners really understand what are you

268
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.680
doing at Joyly. So there's so
many things, and I try really really

269
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:38.319
hard to keep it simple. So
let me try to do that. Joyly

270
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:45.480
is an event and media production company
featuring a speaker's bureau, and so the

271
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.359
whole idea is, of course,
joy is all about connecting. So I

272
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.079
wanted to connect amazing people like yourself, doctor Alist, who, by the

273
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:59.720
way, is our very first sage
or speaker in our Speaker's Bureau. We

274
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.240
can talk about that in a minute, but bringing together amazing speakers, coaches,

275
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:10.359
and authors to produce product and to
be on stages across the world talking

276
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:18.799
to corporations and individuals. Nonprofits,
profits all the same about ideas around whatever

277
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.319
it is that they teach, but
through a joy lens. So I think

278
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.200
all the communication that we are giving
to the world needs to be set up

279
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.640
through a joy lens. If that
makes sense? Is that clear? It's

280
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.160
perfectly clear. Let's go back to
Josh's question about what purpose is. So

281
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:40.079
what's really great about purpose is it
does become your unique lens through which you

282
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.640
view the world, its opportunities,
hits, problems, etc. So for

283
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:47.680
me, that lens is everything to
do with meaning and purpose. We have

284
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:48.960
a few more questions here. Let
me just skip to this and just to

285
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:55.880
second here before we do. I
want to help presence for our listeners some

286
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.599
really important aspects of your life,
and they help really help us understand why

287
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.160
joy is so important for you,
Cheryl. We can't cover them all,

288
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.519
But I know you did suffer a
childhood accident. Tell us about what happened

289
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:12.240
and what was the ramification of that. Yes, absolutely well. I remember.

290
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:17.519
It was a bright, sunny,
beautiful day. I was eight years

291
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.279
old, and I was playing in
my sandbox in the backyard, and I

292
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.079
had a nanny with us, or
Grandma, we called her, and I

293
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.720
remember putting the little trees and the
rocks and the stones in the sand castles,

294
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.960
and then all of a sudden,
I heard my name, Cheryl,

295
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:40.279
and I remember standing up and turning
my head, and in that instant,

296
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:45.680
my life changed. And the baseball
that hit me square in the nose really

297
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.720
disfigured me for not just that moment, but for the next thirty years of

298
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:53.960
my life. And so I became
a invisible human. I did everything I

299
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:00.880
could to stay away from mirrors,
and people and friends and relationships crawled in

300
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:06.119
every corner that I could find for
a very long time. So that was

301
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.359
the accident. It was messy,
and I never got to go to the

302
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.960
to the clinic or the hospital because
Grandma didn't want any blood spilled, and

303
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.119
so it was. It was tragic. And I tell the story now because

304
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.920
I think that everyone has a broken
story. We all have something in our

305
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.359
past that you know, so you
know I wasn't you know, it could

306
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.240
have been a whole lot worse,
but it was a broken nose, and

307
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:32.400
it troubled me, and it prevented
me from from I think, living my

308
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:38.079
joy. Yeah, well so somehow
you've I don't see any evidence of that

309
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.599
accident today. Yes, And I
started making quite a bit of money in

310
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:47.759
real estate after I had three beautiful
children, and when I got divorced from

311
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.039
from there from my children's father,
I saved up enough money to have plastic

312
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.319
surgery, and so yeah, I
had a rhinoplasty and it really did wonders

313
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:03.160
and I would say that it helped, you know, me as far as

314
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:10.319
creating some pretty pictures and maybe some
better boyfriends and those kinds of things.

315
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.680
But you know, I just felt
sick inside still. So it took many,

316
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:19.519
many many years after that of you
know, self healing to really figure

317
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.039
out what was next. And I
still work on that. I mean,

318
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.799
just when I thought I had it
all covered, I learned about brain spotting.

319
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.319
We could talk about that another time, but that went deep into my

320
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.079
eight year old strategy and trauma.
Once again at age fifty six years old,

321
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.960
So it's ongoing. Okay, So
Dala was asking how long did that

322
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.079
plague your life? So this has
been an ongoing You've been evolving from this

323
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.720
consistently over the course of your life. It sounds like absolutely. I don't

324
00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.759
think everyone anyone gets over anything.
You know, there's always memories that are

325
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.000
attached to it as you go,
so it'd be like, you know,

326
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.720
you know, it's like, what
about what about relationships? Now? Well,

327
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.400
I remember one of my friends called
me bee woman. My last name

328
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.400
was Beckaman and that was you know, somewhere when I was in eighth grade,

329
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.960
and that memory came back. And
just little things like that, you

330
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.799
know, they're just they're buried so
deep, and the more work you do,

331
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.599
the more you uncover them. And
brain spotting is really about deleting those

332
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.279
things. And so I just have
to keep on deleting and deleting and deleting.

333
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.359
And the more I delete, the
stronger I am, the more I

334
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.559
can sit up straight, the easier
it is to talk on camera, and

335
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.200
you know, just I just see
myself evolving so quickly lately, it's just

336
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.599
mind blowing. I'm just having a
lot of fun. And the part of

337
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:36.720
that is because you're standing in a
passion and purpose, it gives you crazy

338
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.400
courage and it gives you crazy energy. And so we want to let's go

339
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:44.400
ahead and use your example here to
help with a question from Penny. Penny

340
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.200
wants to know how would someone find
their purpose? And are you ever too

341
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:48.359
old to find it? So let
me start with something and I want to

342
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.519
serve something to you, Cheryl,
So, Penny, thanks for the question.

343
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.559
Fantastic question. No, You're never
too old to find your purpose.

344
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.599
I don't care if you're eighty ninety
or one hundred. I'm serious, dead

345
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:02.119
serious, no pun intended, and
then of course a pun intended as well.

346
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:04.279
So there's a few ways you can
look, Penny. So you can

347
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:10.759
look for what have you been your
whole life and riveted on that just has

348
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.160
absorbed you? In my case,
that was meaning and purpose. In Cheryl's

349
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.759
case, I think it was this
thing about Joy. She was always the

350
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.599
person that people gravitated to, and
she was kind of I think you were

351
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.039
feeding a lot of energy vampires.
But right, so you had an obsession.

352
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.119
It sounds like with Joy, is
that right, Sharon? Yeah,

353
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.079
I think so. I just I
just figured out that the more I went

354
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.839
out on a hike, and the
more I laughed, and the more I

355
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.079
danced, and the more I sang, and the more I played in the

356
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.160
backyard with my kids, and the
more I sat down and colored with them,

357
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.039
And I just felt like the more
I focused on joy, the more

358
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.400
joyful I was. And I don't
know, it just showed up to people

359
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.599
and they they said, what are
you doing and who are you? And

360
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:56.039
how did you transform yourself into this
human And I just I said, it's

361
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.680
just it's just the only place I
feel like I can live. I just

362
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.000
have to stay in joy. Now. The opportunity, which is what you

363
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.200
have done so beautifully, is to
fully embrace it. First see it for

364
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.960
the gift that it is, which
is your passion and your purpose and your

365
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.880
case and you have, and then
do embrace it and find a way to

366
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.279
monetize it, find a way to
do something in the world where you're being

367
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.720
of service, and you find a
way to make a living. So first,

368
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:23.599
let's get this really quick for Penny. So Penny that one way to

369
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.039
find your purpose is to do what
Cheryl did, which is to stay true

370
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.160
to what you're fixated on. And
obsessed with and absorbed by it, which

371
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.160
is what she did. A second
way you can find your purpose is you

372
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:40.559
can look for what have you become
by addressing and overcoming a major adversity.

373
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.079
And I would say that was part
of your path too, Cheryl, in

374
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:48.039
dealing with this baseball accident. The
adversity that you had to go through to

375
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.240
address and deal with that came from
that is part of what catalyzed. Do

376
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.200
I think to be searching for joy? Yes, oh, without a doubt.

377
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.839
I mean I can just I see
myself prior to eight years old.

378
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.519
I just feel like I just had
so much sunshine about me, and then

379
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.839
after the minute after, it was
just gone. So I don't know if

380
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.640
you know this, doctor Lise,
but I've tried probably a half a dozen

381
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.519
different businesses to monetize over the years
called the Field of Love. I started

382
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:22.359
a women's organization called Women's Celebrations.
I started a production company called Beautiful Live

383
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.240
Productions where I brought people in to
tell their stories on camera and things like

384
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.920
that. But it was just nothing
felt authentic. And I think that I

385
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:34.160
didn't step into my leadership like I
needed to just figure out what the dream

386
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.319
I think All of them were good
ideas, and they all could have worked,

387
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:42.839
and I would have you know,
been monetizing you know, the gazookas

388
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:47.160
out of it, had I just
finished and stayed with them, because they're

389
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:48.920
all the same as what I'm doing
right now. And so it was just

390
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:55.240
a matter of stepping into the leadership
and getting your getting the expansion to go.

391
00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.200
Okay, if I'm going to go
down this road, I better be

392
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.960
clear on what that road is so
that I can bring other people with me

393
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.799
and ask for people to support,
including you know, the community and our

394
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.559
members and all of that. So, yeah, leadership was something that was

395
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.839
just huge on my list of things
to do. Yeah, And so what

396
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.759
you just said there about you've just
now, you know, just now,

397
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.359
but somewhere in your past you've threatend
together that these things that you were doing

398
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:25.839
before really were similar or overlapped and
supported each other. Then it's just the

399
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.799
opportunity to somehow get it into your
bones that yes, this is what I

400
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.319
stand for, this is my purpose. And once you do that, that's

401
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.680
when the magic happens. Well,
and I think it's about finding people like

402
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.640
yourself, Like I didn't have the
confidence or the courage to ask enough people,

403
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.960
what is this? What does this
look like? What does this sound

404
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.039
like? What am I trying to
say? Like? I didn't have the

405
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.720
words right, and so I went
on upwork, which is a resource online,

406
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.920
and I just typed in or I
put a job description up that says

407
00:27:55.960 --> 00:28:03.640
spiritual writer needed for project. And
Shannon answered and she started interviewing me and

408
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.359
going, do you know what you're
talking about? This is so amazing,

409
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.000
Like you're on the cotting edge.
So I don't know what you know specifically

410
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.680
what each person's purpose is that we're
talking to in the question period, question

411
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.400
to answer section here, but whatever
it is, like, just get your

412
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:25.240
team together to help you brainstorm and
have a mastermind or a whiteboard session and

413
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.759
you know, and come up with
ideas and plans and focus on and what

414
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.720
it is and don't quit until you
get clear on what it is that you

415
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.759
want to do. Yeah, And
what I would echo to that too,

416
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.400
is that I'm really big on this. And so we've got Josh, Penny,

417
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:44.759
Jade and Daily weighing in on this
conversation right now. Nice I you

418
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.400
know, we've got one precious life
and we do not know how many days

419
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.519
or hours that is going to entail. So that reason that purpose works is

420
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.039
it gives us an urgency. And
the more we get into this halftime part

421
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:59.559
of life, the more urgent it
becomes. So back to the question of

422
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.000
is it ever too late, No, I would tell you that your ticker

423
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:04.519
gets even faster the older that you
get, because you want to get to

424
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:10.039
that purpose before you actually leave the
world. So last, let me get

425
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:11.759
to this one. Here the third
another place you can look for a purpose,

426
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.680
and Jade, I say you're asking
some of the same questions, is

427
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.480
you can look for what awful or
hairy problem do you stand to address or

428
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.920
solve in the world. And for
me, part of that is that people

429
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.359
are literally walking dead through life and
they don't know it. So part of

430
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:32.319
my job is the anti undertaker to
awaken them to their passion, inspiration and

431
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:37.000
purpose and then pursue them and inspire
them to pursue them mightily to make a

432
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.319
contribution worthy of that one precious life. And so now we get to your

433
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.279
area again, Cheryl, So we
think about what problem do you exist to

434
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.799
solve? I want to map that
over to another way of saying that is,

435
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.759
why do you believe joy is so
essential today. Oh my goodness.

436
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.400
I think I think, like I
said a little bit earlier, joy is

437
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.559
about connections and it's it's not it's
not a moment and it goes away.

438
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.880
It's trying to figure out even in
the pandemic and the global crisis, is

439
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:08.440
that we have all across the country, all the shootings. It's like,

440
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:14.599
how do you figure out instead of
running away like I did, is how

441
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.440
to feel joyful and sustain that even
in difficult times. So you know,

442
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.799
it's not just a smile you play
paste on your face or you know,

443
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.680
throw down on social media and you
know, just to hope everyone thinks you're

444
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:32.400
okay. It's like really being authentic
and vulnerable and sharing your emotions whether it's

445
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.400
sadness or shame or anger or whatever
it is. But it's to figure out

446
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.200
that everyone is in the same boat
and that that it's perfectly fine and if

447
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.359
you can get connected and talk about
it with people. I think that you

448
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:51.240
know, those joyful moments of vulnerability, as Brenne Brown says, is where

449
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.759
the is, where the real joy
is at A sustained joy is what I

450
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:59.680
mean. Yeah, So I what
I see that and there's no wonder that

451
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.640
you and I have met right,
because there's such a complementary complementarity to what

452
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.039
we're each doing here and bring into
the world. And I, in my

453
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.920
view, share all both of us
are energy workers. So in the space

454
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.440
of meaning, meaning is our ultimate
it's our ultimate energy source, and it's

455
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.920
motivating, and so is purpose and
passion for that matter, and so is

456
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:25.880
joy. So in my view,
what you're also putting into the world is

457
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:32.640
you're giving us essential, necessary,
empowering, enlivening energy to help us one

458
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.359
power the world that we want and
to overcome just some of the awful negative

459
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.720
inertia that's out there. Exactly exactly, but I don't know if you've seen

460
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:47.720
our logo, but the E and
the joyly stands for enjoy, elevate,

461
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:52.839
engage, embrace, enlighten, empathy, energy, entertain and everyone. So

462
00:31:52.079 --> 00:32:00.599
it's really about sitting up straight and
learning to know that the answers are aren't

463
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.279
on the outside. Like there are
gurus, and there's self help, and

464
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.640
there's classes, and there's business,
you know, all kinds of things to

465
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.400
do, But the bottom line is
it's the sitting still, if you will,

466
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.720
and the meditating and asking yourself what
are the answers and then looking for

467
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.400
validation like I did when I called
you up and said I think I have

468
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.240
a really good idea. What do
you think? And I said, I

469
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.000
love it? Do it? We
knew it. You were my first cheer

470
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:30.440
later on this journey. So I
am so very grateful. What an incredible

471
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.279
honor. And you know it's that
you, by being in my space,

472
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:37.079
you allow me to live my purpose. Isn't that amazing? So thank you

473
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:43.079
for the gift. It is it
really, it's just another period on the

474
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.920
sentence that says when you know something
is right and in your innate being,

475
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.839
like why in God's green earth would
you hold onto it? Like the world

476
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.680
needs to hear from you. Like
when I ran Beautiful Eye Productions, I

477
00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:04.599
used to drag chiropractors and and all
kinds of clinicians and Mary Kay people and

478
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.480
just drag them in the studio and
I'm like, why why are you doing

479
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.039
this? You know, tell people
why you're so excited and why you are

480
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.759
the one that they have to purchase
from. And they would and they would

481
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.880
get so excited, and they were
like, I'm like, why are you

482
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:21.480
keeping this a secret? Like people
need to hear these stories. Do you

483
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:22.640
know what I mean? Absolutely?
I know what I mean. I want

484
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:27.000
to say more about that, but
let's grab our last break already. I'm

499
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.760
and welcome back to Working on Purpose. If you're just tuning in,

500
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:02.679
my guest is Cheryl In. She's
the founder of Joyly. I'm your host,

501
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:06.719
Alice Cortez. So to pick up
on that last point that you were

502
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.119
talking about before we took our last
break there, Cheryl about you know,

503
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:10.599
why would you keep it to yourself? What I would say right now,

504
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:15.480
listeners, you're listening to the show
for a reason. What I would say

505
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.159
is here we are in the grips
of COVID nineteen, the pandemic that has

506
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.400
really literally turned the world on its
axis. And what I have been standing

507
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.280
for is that every single last one
of us needs to get in touch with

508
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.960
our purpose and then bring it into
the world so that we can create the

509
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.079
world we all want to live in
after this thing is over and done with.

510
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.679
We need that need, every single
one of you to be living your

511
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.159
purpose because that's the world that we
want to live in when we come up

512
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:46.559
on the other side of this response
question reaction to that, Cheryl, Yeah,

513
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.199
I think you're absolutely right. And
I just I want everyone who's listening

514
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:58.039
to call you up and have a
brainstorming session, because if you don't know

515
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:01.039
what it is, you have no
choice. Uh. You know, it's

516
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:06.000
about your it's about your children and
your grandchildren, and your brothers and sisters

517
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.320
and mothers and fathers. Like all
they want to do is see you live

518
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.519
joyfully. And so in order to
get to that, you have to step

519
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.519
into purpose. And I don't think
like joyly is you know, I expect

520
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:22.599
us to have one thousand employees over
the next five years, and so it

521
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.039
doesn't mean that you have to think
of a way to make money, like

522
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.280
it could just be you know,
cotailing on something that's already happening in the

523
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:35.760
world. Like I'm sure you're so
passionate about a million things, So figure

524
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.039
out which one makes your heart beat
the most. Like just sit still,

525
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.599
like I said before, put your
hand on your heart and just figure out

526
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.840
and feel what makes your heart beat
and then explore, explore and ask questions

527
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:51.599
of people like doctor Least to get
to what it is. Yeah, what

528
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:52.519
I was also going to say is, you know, you talked about the

529
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.000
importance of having mentors, and you
called me, you know, I can

530
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.840
tell you right now, I would
not be living my purpose if I didn't

531
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.639
engage a coach who helped me also
better see and articulate and understand my purpose.

532
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.800
And so you know, we're social
being is I do think we need

533
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:09.639
help, and there's nothing wrong with
getting help. I think all of us

534
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:14.320
need help. So I really want
to echo that I don't think this is

535
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.000
a solo journey. You can do
a lot, so much as you've done

536
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:21.679
and so have I, but to
really get your hands and arms around this

537
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.760
thing, sometimes we just need a
mirror held up by somebody else. Yeah,

538
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.239
well it's the fear factor. Like
you know how hard it was for

539
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.519
me to call you up, Like
I just got done listening to listening to

540
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:37.800
you interview Melerick, And I mean, you know, just a huge corporate

541
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.960
CEOs and all of your shows are
two hundred and how many shows? Two

542
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:47.679
and sevens? Your showed over two
hundred and seventy five. So but my

543
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:52.360
point is is that everyone on there
seems so amazing, and I've learned to

544
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:57.360
respect that, and I've also learned
to step into you know that we all

545
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.159
have something to share and give,
and so that's you know, that's it's

546
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.920
cool. But at the same point, if you're like, why would she

547
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:06.840
ever answer the phone and talk to
me? Like that went through my brain,

548
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:08.960
Like when I came to when I
came to Las Vegas, I said,

549
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:13.400
you know, I don't have any
money to go, and I stayed

550
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:15.679
in a campground because I wasn't about
to tell everybody I was coming to a

551
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:20.320
dance studio or take dance lessons and
perform for seniors. They would have all

552
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.920
just laughed me out of the world, right, And so so it became

553
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.760
about what do I have to do
to figure this out? Right? And

554
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.800
so I drove lyft for thirty days
while I was here, and so I

555
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.320
just kept it a secret that you
know that this is this is something I

556
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.039
might have to explore. But whatever
it is, you have to do,

557
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.360
like you have to figure it out
by summoning up the courage to call somebody

558
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:45.159
who's either gone before and or you
know, just straight up doctor at least.

559
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:49.039
Yeah, you know, thank you, And everything is figure outable,

560
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:52.880
right, especially if you enroll resources
and people. And I love you know

561
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.639
going that you drove Lyft. I
mean, I've done all kinds of crazy

562
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.239
things to make money over the years
as I was en route to my next

563
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.480
thing. You know, there's there's
grit in that, there's perseverance, and

564
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:07.079
that there's heart in that. I
want that for everybody digging into that place.

565
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.360
And so thank you for sharing that. You're welcome. All Right,

566
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:15.039
let's talk now more about Joyly and
your Speaker's Bureau and the platform that you've

567
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.920
created so shared with us some of
the things that you're really excited about that

568
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:22.119
are happening now or you're working on
making happen. Well, thank you for

569
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:27.519
asking. And it's just it's so
exciting to talk about right now because so

570
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:31.159
I've decided that I'm creating a movement, like everybody said. Everybody says that's

571
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:34.719
what I'm doing, and I just
sort of bucked that, Like, no,

572
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:39.119
I'm just doing a brand called Joyly
and it's fun and I'm gonna wear

573
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:45.039
yellow clothes and da da da da
da da da. And so so the

574
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:49.559
more the more I'm in it,
the more I am gathering people like joyfully

575
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:57.079
Jane and Joyous Jill and just all
these amazing people all over the country who

576
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.480
are already doing amazing, joyful things
and we and so I just want to

577
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:06.159
be the person who brings everybody together, and we build up this crazy funnel

578
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:09.960
of hurricane energy and spit out more
and more joy in the world, because

579
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:13.199
the more you focus on joy,
the more joy you're going to get.

580
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:19.079
So I just came up with a
momentum, I mean a movement to some

581
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.199
momentum create. To create the movement, doctor lies, and it's to have

582
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:28.679
one billion people sit in our chair. And I'm calling it the E chair.

583
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.960
So one person, or ten people, or one hundred people will be

584
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:37.920
just fine. But because of this
inertia and this momentum that we've started to

585
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:42.000
create, we've come up with that
number. So there's a plan for that.

586
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:47.360
But and the chair is fantastic one. It's it's just incredibly visually alluring.

587
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:51.840
Tell us more about the chair,
where that come from, and what's

588
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.960
the import of the chair? Yes, beautiful, thank you for asking.

589
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:58.719
Well, it started because of my
need to sit still. I was always

590
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:01.960
the run running around, never really
meditating, and I was always the one

591
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:07.199
spending tens of thousand dollars on other
people's programs, and I never asked myself

592
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.960
what it is that I needed,
So not this chair that if you look

593
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.840
on the website there's lots of pictures
of this six foot back high chair with

594
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:20.840
the gold embossed legs and the white
leather and the diamond studs and all of

595
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:25.639
that, but it's it's it's more
about a symbol. And it could be

596
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:30.079
a Costco chair, could be any
chair, but it's a chair that that

597
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:35.440
I think. So the chair in
general is a place that we all sit

598
00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:37.159
right down, we all sit right
and it's a very common thing. But

599
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:42.519
if we're not paying attention, it
can go unnoticed. Like we might be

600
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:47.119
sitting at a you know, on
a bench at a park and it's it

601
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.519
becomes unnoticed. Right, So the
beauty is it's we're we're not seen,

602
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:57.679
we become invisible. And so the
chair, the doily chair is kind of

603
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:01.159
like a frame to draw out the
beauty inside and the joy inside, if

604
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:06.440
that makes sense. It's kind of
like beautiful if the Mona Lisa, right,

605
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.320
the Mona Lisa didn't have a beautiful
she didn't just come out. She's

606
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:15.800
displayed, you know, in a
beautiful frame. She's not sitting in plywood

607
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.599
or on a Costco chair, if
you will, She's she's wrapped. What's

608
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.800
what's worthy of her dignity of her
dignity, And so I really think that

609
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.519
that this chair or any chair that
you have in your room, it's a

610
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.679
matter of just sitting up straight,
you know, and thinking you're the king

611
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.920
and queen of king or queen of
that chair, and just tapping tapping to

612
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:37.440
figure out what's bubbling beneath your own
surface. That's so brilliant, Cheryl,

613
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:43.199
It's just brilliant. I just love
it chair too. It's a bit nuts,

614
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.039
like what are you doing? But
honestly, I took it out at

615
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:49.800
Tallone Mountain over the summer or right
before the pandemic was really you know,

616
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:52.920
serious, and there wasn't you know, there was some talk about staying home,

617
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.800
so it wasn't quite there. So
I think I think at the time

618
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.880
I hadn't really given it much thought. But I just took my chair.

619
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:01.119
I put it in the back of
my van and I put it at the

620
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:05.159
mountain. I set it out and
people laugh, They're like, are you

621
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.800
bringing your living room out? And
can I send you a chair? And

622
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:12.360
what are you doing? What's this
all about? And anyway, that got

623
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:17.639
me a full page feature in the
Las Vegas Entrepreneur magazine, So it was

624
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:22.119
just about what are we doing during
the COVID virus nineteen COVID nineteen, to

625
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:25.280
keep you know, to keep our
wits about us, to keep our joy

626
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:30.079
up. So the chair's got lots
of It's going to have a story of

627
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:32.000
its own. I know, who
knows where it'll end up and how many

628
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:36.480
chairs in the world there will be
at one point to create a billion people

629
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.039
that sit it in. And you
know, we're looking for chief Joyly officers

630
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:45.119
that are coaches across the country to
help facilitate that vision as well. Yes,

631
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:49.119
and I'm so thrilled that I get
to be one of your sages.

632
00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:51.599
So we're getting really close to being
out of time, and I want to

633
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:54.840
cover two more things really quick.
So you the next events that you have

634
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:58.440
coming up is the next one,
May thirty. There's your one before that,

635
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:00.280
Yep, the May thirtieth. It's
just our launch and it's a virtual

636
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.280
event. And yes, all of
our stages are coming, and they're wearing

637
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.360
yellow socks. I got mine,
Yes, I got mine. Come and

638
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:12.400
wear yellow socks and just show up. It's just the beginning of the healing.

639
00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.280
We will have some laughter, we
have some dance. A comedian that's

640
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:20.119
just talking about the stay at home
you know process. And yes, doctor

641
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.559
Lisa, you know you are one
of our creators healers. We call you

642
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:27.159
sages a creator, healer, scientist, author, performer from all walks of

643
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.960
life who recognize that they are leaders
in authentic joy. So we're going to

644
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:37.079
talk about the eight Pillars of Joy. I can't wait to be involved any

645
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:39.440
other immediate events that you want listeners
to know about beyond that one for launch?

646
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:43.639
No, I just I think we're
just getting our p's and qu'es together

647
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:45.679
and making sure that when we do
come out, you know, in the

648
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:50.719
fall, when everything's safe and secure
again, that we show up with just

649
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:54.719
really quality events and of course more
quality speakers like yourself. Okay, great,

650
00:44:54.760 --> 00:45:00.800
So then the next question is what
what can listeners? How can listeners

651
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.000
get involved with you? And what
would you What are the various ways they

652
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.440
can connect and be involved with you? Well? Number one, go to

653
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:10.760
joylye dot com slash events and register
the event so that way you'll get on

654
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:14.719
our newsletter whether you actually are coming
to the event or not. But then

655
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.880
tell everyone you know, every brother, sister, aunt, uncle, and

656
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.159
sit in your living room for two
hours and watch our event, and I

657
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.239
think you will be inspired by what's
possible. And as a leader. If

658
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:28.519
you're listening and you're a leader and
you want purpose and joy might be your

659
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:30.679
thing, Like let's talk and figure
out a way that we can get you

660
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.880
involved and you know, and start
spreading joy and collecting and gathering all the

661
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.960
amazing people that are already doing joyful, joyful things across the world. There's

662
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:44.320
so much. We just also just
launched the Joyly Awards, you know,

663
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:47.320
like the Grammy Awards, only it's
the Joyly Awards, and so we're putting

664
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:51.960
together a group of people that will
receive those awards in the fall as well.

665
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.960
So there's just lots of things.
It's just like get let's get connected,

666
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:59.400
Like, let's do this. Let
me echo something really important that you're

667
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.559
talking about, Cheryl and listeners,
those of you have been asking these questions

668
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:06.639
about where to find purpose and such. You really need to have an ongoing,

669
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:12.639
nurturing spigot of inspiration, passion,
possibility connection, which is what Cheryl

670
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.480
is offering on Joyly instantly, what
I'm offering and working in purpose in my

671
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:20.639
programs. You need that to stay
vitally inspired for life and so I really

672
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.719
want to encourage you to keep listening
to programs like this, come to Cheryl's

673
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.679
event or be part of her event. It's this is the kind of stuff

674
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:32.039
that keeps you on that path.
So just really want to echo that's it's

675
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:36.360
very grounding, very very nice.
I'm happy you said that because it's true,

676
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:37.920
like you just need to stay connected
and stay in it. Like if

677
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:42.840
I don't do something tapping into someone
like you every single day, then I

678
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.920
go off into a funk, and
you know, how does that serve anybody?

679
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.000
Well? And it's too easy.
You know, this is part of

680
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:52.000
the part of the reason that we
become the walking dead. And by the

681
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:53.400
way, I've been a member myself, so I've been card carrying. It's

682
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:59.119
not that I was immune. I
was too. You do need to find

683
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:01.920
a way to catalyze yourself out of
that tendency to walk among the dead.

684
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:06.440
So, you know, it's part
of the life that we live today,

685
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.039
and so making sure that we're being
intentional about where we put our efforts,

686
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:15.079
our energies and our intentions are really
important. So I'm going to say more

687
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.920
about where to find Cheryl in just
a second here, but I will like

688
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.360
to give my guests the last word, Cheryl. So you know this program

689
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.800
is listened to across the globe and
we're all about elevating passion, inspiration and

690
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.559
purpose. What would you likely our
listeners with today? How much time do

691
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:32.320
I have? I have a short
story about a minute. Okay, short

692
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:36.320
story, all right, really short
story. So I interviewed somebody by the

693
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.000
name of Stan and I just want
to I'd love to tell stories because you

694
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:44.599
can see where this is going when
I share. But he was a cotton

695
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.119
picker. When he was a teenager, he went to a Jackson five concert

696
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.760
which inspired his family to buy all
the musical instruments. And to make a

697
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:58.039
long story short, when I interviewed
him, he gave his sense of joy

698
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.480
about music, and he told me
he hasn't taken his guitar out from under

699
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.719
the bed in years. And he
told me, I'm going to do it

700
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:10.039
today, right, And that is
what we call we call unleashing joy,

701
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:15.199
passion and purpose. And that is
a beautiful contribution and worthy of your one

702
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:17.880
precious life. Cheryl. Thank you
for being on working on purpose. Thank
