Joe Rogan podcast, checking in.
Jamie (2:09)
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Joe Rogan (2:12)
Joined by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Joe Rogan (2:19)
This is the thing is no one's happy with just being like a little successful. You get a little successful and then they want to get more.
Bridget Phetasy (2:25)
Is that everyone though?
Joe Rogan (2:26)
I don't know.
Joe Rogan (2:27)
Is that you, Bridget?
Bridget Phetasy (2:29)
I'm a little successful.
Joe Rogan (2:31)
That's it.
Bridget Phetasy (2:32)
And I'm happy.
Joe Rogan (2:33)
Yeah. It's like, I don't know. You just got to find why you're doing it. You don't want to just be on a hamster wheel.
Bridget Phetasy (2:40)
Well, I think it's easy to get lost in chasing more.
I'm an addict. So it's very, I try to stay away from analytics and all that stuff because I can become hyper focused and obsessed with them.
Joe Rogan (2:54)
Well, right.
Bridget Phetasy (2:54)
And one of the reasons that after I did, who was it? I was opening for Lando and we would go out and just talk to the people after the show. And it was, it was, they were like, oh my gosh, I love Walk-Ins Welcome. I love Dumpster Fire. And it was like such a good reminder that you get like chasing numbers. And it was like, oh no, these are not just numbers, they're people unless you're like buying bots. But I think it can be easy to just be, get on that hamster wheel and start being like, we need more, we need more downloads, we need more and more and more. And then you forget. And I never want to take the audience we have for granted.
Joe Rogan (3:34)
Yeah.
Bridget Phetasy (3:34)
You know, like they're, they're amazing. They've been with, some of these people have been with me for forever.
Joe Rogan (3:40)
That's kind of the key to it all, right? I mean, it sounds so corny because it's like a new wellness way of looking at things. Have gratitude. But gratitude is like very important. It's really important to be thankful for what you have.
Bridget Phetasy (3:55)
Yeah. And it was one of the key things in getting sober. I think when I've dealt with like anxiety, depression, other things in my life, gratitude is, it is a powerful mechanism for like shifting your perspective because you can get into that feeling of like not being enough, not having enough, not, Yeah. It never being enough.

Brian Cowan was telling me about his buddy who's a billionaire. His buddy's worth like $3 billion and he feels like he's poor because he's friends with people who have $100 billion.
Bridget Phetasy (4:29)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (4:29)
Imagine.
Bridget Phetasy (4:30)
No, I mean, this, when I was dating this very wealthy guy who is like probably half of a billionaire, like 500 millionaire and we were in St. Tropez and he felt poor.
