What was your childhood like to 93 00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,500 get to this cool calm and collected place because you were 94 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,300 going back and forth also between the u.s. and Mexico and 95 00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,000 correct. I'm just curious how all these 96 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,500 things connect it comes from how I was raised and they Variances 97 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:06,100 that I lived and I come from parents that got divorced and I 98 00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,400 was only 45 years old when they got divorced. 99 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 So my dad living in Chihuahua Mexico. 100 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,200 My dad moved to Colorado right when they got divorced. 101 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,400 So I stayed with my mom and my brother in Mexico, but of 102 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,900 course, I visited my dad every vacation, Christmas spring break 103 00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:27,000 summer. So yeah, it was always going 104 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,300 back and forth. My whole life, I grew up in Into 105 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:34,300 homes that were full of love and entertainment. 106 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,600 Of course, on my mom's side she was the strict one because she 107 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,800 was there every day, making sure we were eating, okay? 108 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,800 We were taking her veggies and we were getting good grades and 109 00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:51,500 also grounding us all the time, my dad was always supporting my 110 00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:55,500 dreams. Always saying, hey I see as a 111 00:06:55,508 --> 00:06:59,900 kid that you love to act. This is your passion like go. 112 00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:01,900 For it. And then, on the other hand, my 113 00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,500 mom's like, well I don't know about that. 114 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,600 You might struggle with those careers, not make enough money, 115 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,800 blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day, the 116 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,200 main thing is that I never locked. 117 00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:18,000 Love, love was always around in my family, and I think that's 118 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,300 key for every human being to be happy, your adult years. 119 00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:29,900 And so, in her home as a child loredana would write and direct 120 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800 Leis and recruit her cousins to act, sing and dance for her 121 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800 family. That's how she first learned to 122 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,700 pursue something. She was passionate about to just 123 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,500 make it. In fact, I met Lauren in theater 124 00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:45,700 class back in high school and distinctly remember seeing 125 00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:48,500 someone that was truly in her element. 126 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,800 And so, as you heard from all the hats that she wears her 127 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,700 dreams have changed but it's clear that her drive, hasn't she 128 00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,900 took that fire and directed it towards. 129 00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:02,300 Advocacy for cannabis legalization. 130 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,500 What? Got you exactly into the world 131 00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:09,300 of cannabis, what was it, okay? So after my journey in 132 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,700 filmmaking and production and then I started doing music 133 00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:15,900 festivals. And then after that, I moved 134 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,900 back to Chihuahua. I started my own production 135 00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,600 company we were doing, mainly music, festivals, and brought a 136 00:08:23,608 --> 00:08:27,200 mere to Chihuahua to play with DJ and mere. 137 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,500 It was, I was not making Real money, it wasn't a real 138 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:33,400 business. I was just partying with 139 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,200 everybody else at the festival. So this was during the years 140 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,900 where former president back, then declared the War on Drugs 141 00:08:41,908 --> 00:08:48,000 in Mexico. So my son was around two years 142 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,900 old and they declare the war on drugs. 143 00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:55,500 And I'm here doing music festivals and working at clubs, 144 00:08:55,500 --> 00:09:00,300 and all of a sudden mass shootings, especially at He's 145 00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:05,000 and clubs and people, we're getting kidnapped and horrible, 146 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,100 things started to happen. A lot of violins specially on 147 00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,900 border cities and I was on the border Chihuahua. 148 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:18,200 So we had to close our company and it became a ghost town like 149 00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:22,000 you weren't safe anywhere here. I am single one with the baby 150 00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:27,800 and so I moved to Colorado and when I moved there it was going 151 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:35,600 to be 13 and Colorado decides to legalize the recreational 152 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,900 market. So boom. 153 00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:42,400 Here, I am running away from my country because of the violence 154 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,400 around the war on drugs. And now in a state where they 155 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,600 are legalizing drugs marijuana, in this case and I was just so 156 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,700 confused. I was like, people are making a 157 00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:59,700 legal business out of this opening stores. 158 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,100 And I started learning about the medical benefits of marijuana. 159 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:07,000 And I was like, oh my God, it has therapeutic benefits. 160 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,600 And I look back to Mexico and people are killing each other in 161 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,500 terrible. So there's something wrong here. 162 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,800 Hmm, you know, first, the United States, criminalize. 163 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,100 This is the first ones to prohibit it. 164 00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:29,700 Marijuana back in the day in the 30s 40s and other legalizing 165 00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:31,600 can. Abbess and we're still fighting 166 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200 for it. So my first feeling was, I need 167 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600 to learn exactly what's going on. 168 00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:41,800 And then, second, I start falling in love with the plant. 169 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:46,600 The more I learn about it, the more, I a to Kid myself on all 170 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,000 the benefits, everything you could do the tax, they were 171 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,500 making from it and the possibility of helping people in 172 00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,300 prison to get out. I was just fascinated by it and 173 00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:04,300 I thought that I could be that person that could help Mexico 174 00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,800 legalize that as well. So I found this company 175 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,900 Charlotte's Web. It was always on top of the list 176 00:11:10,900 --> 00:11:14,200 of Google Charlotte's Web is doing this and the documentary 177 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,200 on the little girl Charlotte on CNN with dr. 178 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,200 Sanjay Gupta. So I was like, this is it this 179 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,400 is the company so yeah I took me six months to get the job but I 180 00:11:23,408 --> 00:11:26,600 got it. So Charlotte's Web was my first 181 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,100 job in the industry and I call it my cannabis. 182 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,500 T as well. So I graduated from Charlotte's 183 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:39,500 Web and it was Game Time, something I heard another MVPs 184 00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,500 talk a little bit about the process of what it took you to 185 00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,500 get that first job. I was pretty inspired by it. 186 00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:50,500 Yeah so when I got to Colorado, everything was so confusing 187 00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,900 terms of the legalization and also moving to a different 188 00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:57,100 country with my son starting a new life. 189 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,700 I was a little bit lost. Honestly, I didn't know what. 190 00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:04,000 I I knew I was not going back into the entertainment business 191 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,700 but then I didn't know what to do. 192 00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:11,500 So what I did was I found a yoga training to be an instructor 193 00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:14,000 yoga. So I was like, this is perfect, 194 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,200 it's a three-month course, and I probably can find many answers 195 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,800 there, but the course, was three thousand dollars and I had a 196 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,900 hundred dollars in my bank account when I wrote Colorado's. 197 00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:30,100 So I was like, how am I going to do? 198 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,700 Do this. And they had an announcement to 199 00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:34,700 say. We have one scholarship, you 200 00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:38,500 have to submit your information and write a letter, why you need 201 00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:42,200 it. So I did that and of course, I 202 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,300 got it. Because I manifested it. 203 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,300 Oh my God. Oh my God, I'm a device that I 204 00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:50,800 needed it. I was like, this is mine, this 205 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,300 is my scholarship. So I got it. 206 00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:56,900 I put my heart into that later. I was like please like I need 207 00:12:56,900 --> 00:13:00,100 this desperately. So I got the scholarship. 208 00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:03,100 Did the yoga teacher training for three months? 209 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,200 It was life-changing. I learned to meditate. 210 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,000 I learn about the benefits of being vegan vegetarian. 211 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,400 So I change a lot of things during those three months, and I 212 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,700 found many answers. So I started teaching yoga, but 213 00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:23,300 I was not making enough money by teaching two or three, four 214 00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:27,900 classes, a week. So that's when I started looking 215 00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:31,200 into cannabis, Listening to Loreena. 216 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,100 It was clear that this was the real start of her life. 217 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,100 Everything leading up to this moment, manifesting her 218 00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:40,400 scholarship meditation, building an entertainment company, her 219 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,200 child, it was all the fuel that she needed to form an 220 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,900 Unstoppable, persistence that would get her working for 221 00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:50,300 Charlotte's Web. I was going after that, like, 222 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:52,800 Charlotte's Web is going to be at this Expo or giving this 223 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,300 conference or whatever. I was always there. 224 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,900 I was like, Hey guys the Mexican girl again. 225 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,700 I'm bilingual, I can help. I don't know anything about 226 00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:08,600 cannabis, but I learned fast, you have a job and they're like 227 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,500 right now it was still a family business. 228 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:16,100 It's not like a huge corporation like today, huge. 229 00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,700 But back in the day was still a family company. 230 00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,300 They were trying to grope Charlotte's Web saw demand from 231 00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:25,300 families around the world. That wanted CBD for their kids 232 00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:28,800 with epilepsy as they continue to grow and establish a 233 00:14:28,808 --> 00:14:31,700 reputation as a leader in. The world of cannabis load Anna 234 00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:35,100 was always there ready to take any opportunity. 235 00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,700 I had to wait until they had an opening and they had me start 236 00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:44,500 the first sales team ever. They had to open a sales team to 237 00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:48,700 go out there and sell products at retail stores and stuff and 238 00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:52,600 I'm like, hey I barely speak English. 239 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,300 Like I don't know what CBT means and you're gonna put me out 240 00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,200 there to start at the first sales team. 241 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,000 But I was like, this is my opportunity, I don't care. 242 00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:08,300 I'll tell whatever you want me to, I'm going for it, and that's 243 00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:10,800 how I started. So, while she was busy, 244 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,100 manifesting a career in the Cannabis industry, stopping at 245 00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:17,300 nothing to get their, it's important to remember that. 246 00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:20,900 She was also juggling being a single mom having had Alan when 247 00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:24,900 she was 20 and still in college. And at the time, she was living 248 00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:28,200 with her parents and Allen's dad until he left. 249 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,800 When Alan was only 7 months old. And Lorraine has shared a bit 250 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,700 about how all that happened. What happened to her partner? 251 00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,700 And some of the unexpected challenges that came with being 252 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:40,400 a single mom. During that time Allen's dad 253 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,600 he's like this is too much for me. 254 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,500 I'm going to continue to do my thing and he just left. 255 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:50,400 So it was very tough. I had postpartum depression for 256 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,500 like a year and a half. There was a point so I could 257 00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:57,700 finish college that my mom took my son to Chihuahua for like a 258 00:15:57,700 --> 00:16:00,000 year. That was super hard for me too. 259 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,900 Apart from my baby, but I was close enough to go twice a month 260 00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:07,200 to go. See him with the support of her 261 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,000 family. Things seem to be, getting 262 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,100 better for Lorena. She moved to Colorado got her 263 00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:15,400 dream job at Charlotte's Web and was finally able to get her own 264 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,100 apartment with her son. However, a few years later, when 265 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,300 Alan was six years old Lieutenant faced an unexpected 266 00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:26,600 challenge, he was saw 67 years old when he started asking for 267 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,600 his dad. Where is he? 268 00:16:28,700 --> 00:16:32,500 Like, I'm I haven't seen him in a very long time. 269 00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:34,300 Where is he? I want to know why? 270 00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:37,500 He's not here. If he doesn't love me or what 271 00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:39,800 happened, start asking all these questions. 272 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,800 So I got super nervous and sad at the same time and I started 273 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,800 remember a lot of things and I was like, well, he's right, has 274 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,100 a right to know where his dad is. 275 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,000 I don't even know, I didn't know back then. 276 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,300 So I started doing my research, I call my lawyer and I was like 277 00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,000 can you help me find him? I don't have. 278 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,800 Phone. I didn't have contact with his 279 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000 family, he calls me 30 minutes later. 280 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,599 He's like, well he's in prison. That was like, oh my God. 281 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:17,400 I didn't know how I was going to tell my son to be a few months 282 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,200 before I told him what was going on because he was so young. 283 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,000 So before I told him, I was giving them different scenarios 284 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000 and maybe he's in a hospital mom, and he is probably super 285 00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,800 Were sick and he doesn't have a phone number and he doesn't know 286 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000 how to contact us in. He's probably there in a 287 00:17:38,008 --> 00:17:42,800 hospital and I will cry. Every time I we will have this 288 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,300 conversations and then next time, we'll maybe he's dead Mom. 289 00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:48,900 That's why you don't know anything about him. 290 00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:52,700 He probably died. So we need to find his grave if 291 00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:56,300 that's the case. And it was so heartbreaking. 292 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000 When I mentioned, well, what He's in prison and he just 293 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,300 looked at me and he was shocked. He's like, no way. 294 00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:11,500 That's not going to be the case because my dad is not a bad 295 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:16,900 person, he cannot be in prison. So can you imagine all these 296 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:20,200 scenarios? He was like super mature about 297 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,600 it. Like could be this or that when 298 00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:27,700 we mentioned prison he started crying when I finally told him 299 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,000 explain you there's a lot of Injustice. 300 00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:33,800 Has there's a lot of people in prison for things that they 301 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,400 didn't do. Your dad is not about person. 302 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,100 He was just very young when he left confused and they told him 303 00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:44,900 about his that childhood and he was said, he didn't know his 304 00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:48,100 dad, he was only raised by his grandparents. 305 00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:54,200 His parents were not there, his mom or his dad and how he, as a 306 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,500 human being. How could all of those things 307 00:18:56,500 --> 00:19:00,000 affected him in a way that are not reflecting? 308 00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:03,300 In the press and bite him being in prison and the decisions that 309 00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:06,300 he made and I told me he's not, he's not a bad person. 310 00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:09,200 He's actually a good person. He's a very funny guy. 311 00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:13,000 You're is your dad, just you gotta love him. 312 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:15,700 I am now that we found him. What he wanted to do. 313 00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,800 You want me to take you to see him? 314 00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:21,900 She's like no Mom. Like let's write a letter and 315 00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:27,300 let's see if he responds and we did and since then he called 316 00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:31,400 Alan every weekend. So They they've had a 317 00:19:31,408 --> 00:19:36,100 relationship over the phone so yeah, we have been through a lot 318 00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:41,000 and I just try to make sure that my son, it's okay, emotionally 319 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,300 around the situation. I took him to therapy because I 320 00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:49,000 saw also things manifesting in him like ticks like different 321 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,300 ticks that he will do coffee for no reason or moving his head and 322 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,200 you ask kids, they don't know how to express verbally so they 323 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,800 showed in different ways and it was Physically how anxious he 324 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,000 was or stress, all these things moving to a different country 325 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,900 and your language, learn about his dad in prison. 326 00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:13,400 And so yeah, it was also a challenging time. 327 00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:17,500 I'm not going to say it was a bad time because it also helped 328 00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:20,100 them be. The person he is today which I'm 329 00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:25,500 super proud of.

He's like, this is not easy, but 363 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,200 I want this so bad and I'm like, well, just continue to work and 364 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,400 just keep dreaming, keep manifesting and he's like, I 365 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:57,100 think what I need is, To meet a famous YouTuber, he's going to 366 00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:03,200 help me and I'm gonna become one, and I was like, okay, let's 367 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,900 see what happens. He said that when he was seven 368 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,400 and then whatever it was just a dream of him. 369 00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:14,700 And then after Charlotte's Web, I moved to another company to 370 00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:17,100 learn about the recreational industry. 371 00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:22,000 And then we had a case of a little girl from Mexico from 372 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,200 Monterey, who Has epilepsy and her family, learn about 373 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,300 Charlotte's Web, and they decided to go to Colorado, to 374 00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:33,400 look for the product. And this family came to the 375 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,100 office when I was there, and they're like, oh well, this is 376 00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:38,800 the arena, the only Mexican The Works in the company. 377 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,400 So I was introduced to this family and they're like, we need 378 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,900 to take this product to Mexico legally and we're like how we're 379 00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:47,500 going to do that. Mexico is illegal. 380 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,200 We're going to fight it in court, so I was there next to 381 00:23:51,208 --> 00:23:54,200 them supporting through the whole process of Of Court. 382 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,300 They finally won in court and got the permit to take the 383 00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,800 product in Mexico. So that was big news. 384 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,100 Now little Grace in Mexico was also all over the news and all 385 00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:11,100 the reporters wanted to learn about the story in Colorado. 386 00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:12,900 So they started showing up in Colorado. 387 00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:17,000 Was that all over the news talking about Charlotte's Web 388 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,800 and see what I do.

And when finally legalization 396 00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,400 happened, there was like, I need to move back to Mexico. 397 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,200 That's why I learned all these things now. 398 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,900 I mean, the Congress I'm around.

Talking about your toys. 488 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:16,700 Yes, it was very Quinn's worthy but you gotta start somewhere. 489 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,500 Yeah. I mean when I was little I 490 00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:22,100 always told my mom. I want to be in the Nickelodeon 491 00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:23,500 awards. Aha. 492 00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:28,200 And and now we won the last one they did. 493 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:34,700 It was not too long ago so yeah the kids chose the words from a 494 00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:38,800 Nickelodeon and they they just one my God. 495 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,700 Yeah it's pretty fun. Having those experiences 496 00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:47,600 something that probably happens once in a lifetime right in even 497 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,500 through like a 14 year old boy which has like nothing to do 498 00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,000 with YouTube and stuff. Cough. 499 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,400 And then just like that, I'm no here and like so how do you make 500 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,900 sense of that? I mean what does that mean to 501 00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:03,600 you? I guess it can mean that no 502 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,600 matter how old you are or not even just like being old just 503 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,800 like any anything that's holding you back, instead of using it as 504 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,200 Wait, use it as a step to keep going on. 505 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,500 Talia, since he was little. I was mentioning because this 506 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,000 power of manifestation, he manifest things very fast. 507 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,500 We all humans have that power whenever we topped into it and 508 00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:36,300 learn how to do it and believe that we can do, it starts 509 00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:40,800 happening, but as kids, we have it naturally, we start losing 510 00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:45,200 that sense. That knowing of manifestation 511 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,200 and the power. Have to accomplish things. 512 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,900 Allen is one of those people person that just continues to 513 00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,500 do. So in a very, very fast way. 514 00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,200 Sure, what do you, how do you feel about that? 515 00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:02,500 I mean, it sounds very hippie. But yeah. 516 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,400 Yeah. My mom baby. 517 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:13,000 Yeah, I mean it sounds creepy but isn't it true how you 518 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,800 manifest things? It's true. 519 00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:18,000 It's true. What were things like before 520 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,900 your TV show and being on all over social was the same across 521 00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:26,900 the board. It was more normal because that 522 00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:29,000 definitely changes your whole life. 523 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:35,400 Now, I can go out without even being asked to take a photo and 524 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:40,000 before it was just School in friends and family. 525 00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:47,400 And now it's Friends School family and work because Yeah, I 526 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,400 can be fun and everything. I really enjoyed doing it with 527 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,500 my friends and myself, because it's something that I really 528 00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:58,000 enjoy from Steven, since when I was little, I always saw these 529 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,900 YouTubers make videos and I would say, okay, that's cool. 530 00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:06,000 I want to do that too. But it's also like a really big 531 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,900 responsibility because you have to be on it a lot and then 532 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,200 because then if you don't then you're just going to lose focus 533 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,200 and people are going to stop being interested in you and it 534 00:33:18,208 --> 00:33:21,500 just goes down. How are you choosing? 535 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,900 What happens, what is going on the show? 536 00:33:23,900 --> 00:33:27,000 And as that happened on videos, I normally just come up with 537 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,600 ideas or my mom gives me ideas. She doesn't have the best song. 538 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:41,700 Sometimes I do or sometimes with my editor he helps me out too 539 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,200 and we just brainstorm and then we think of a good idea and then 540 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:51,600 you just film it as we go. I'm curious about like as you 541 00:33:51,608 --> 00:33:54,000 were just kind of like experimenting through things. 542 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,700 Have you noticed that mindset apply in other areas of your 543 00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:00,800 life? Yeah, like right since I have a 544 00:34:00,808 --> 00:34:04,900 lot going on in my head I have school, I have work. 545 00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:10,800 I have family, friends. I'm trying new things to keep me 546 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,800 a bit more occupied from those things. 547 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,199 Like not have more just have like a set of times where I'm 548 00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,800 just doing something I enjoy and I don't think about anything 549 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,600 else. For example, football, I never 550 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,600 really liked football when I was little, and then most of my 551 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,500 friends here in Mexico. They love football. 552 00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:37,600 So it's kind of difficult for you. 553 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,100 Not to do what they like when everyone's graying on what to 554 00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:44,300 do. So I had to adapt a little to 555 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,100 playing them. I started enjoying it more and 556 00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:50,500 more and now I got at least more decent. 557 00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:53,400 Now I've learned piano and guitar. 558 00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:59,600 Our and drums and stuff.
