Are your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard, but not the pipeline? That's bull spend, and marketers are calling it out in Dashboard Confessions.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:39)
My boss asked for results, so I opened my dashboard for the only positive sounding metric I had, impressions.

**Kim Clijsters** (1:06)
Hi everyone. Welcome back to a new episode of Love All.
Maybe as you can see, I'm in an old little farmhouse in Belgium. Last few days before Jada goes off to Sweden for European Championships and we follow her in a couple of days. So yeah, I feel like my European part of the trip is slowly coming to an end.

**Blair Henley** (1:29)
I feel like that's the perfect backdrop for it, Kim. That looks like it's straight out of a magazine. Really?
Yes, I wish I was there. That looks like a great vacation spot.

**Kim Clijsters** (1:40)
Yeah, we have sheep around us or horses, cows, a lot of pear trees and it's a beautiful place to be at. Just no air conditioning, so hence the glistening of my skin.

**Blair Henley** (1:52)
You have stayed consistent in that being the only negative, no air conditioning, but good news, Kim, the dewy look is very end, so the glistening is good.

**Kim Clijsters** (2:02)
All right. Thanks.

**Blair Henley** (2:04)
Sure.
You also, just before we went on air, showed us something that you came across, I guess. Anyway, I would love for our listeners to be able to hear it because I thought it was so cool.

**Kim Clijsters** (2:16)
Well, a couple of days ago, Blake, he collects the Panini stickers for the World Cup book.
And he opened one that, and a card, and he says, hey, oh, but like, this is my dad right there. And that's from England against Belgium in 1990 So he opened that. So, and I have a little, little plastic kind of, whatever you call that little folder where I keep some of the things in my wallet that were from my dad. And I have a note in here that's like old, but it's from 2005 And when my dad never visited me, like when I was playing at the US Open and he came to Stanford and San Diego and then he flew home. So, and I was still in San Diego and he kind of just said, hey Kim, sleep well. It was a great two weeks, two more weeks of hard work and you'll be first in the series and then you can win the US Open. Greetings to Brian, kisses dad, I'm still tired. You're a beautiful, great daughter, just a little messy, like that's what he wrote. So I carry this in my wallet all the time and now I have a little added Panini sticker card that I can add to that. So, yeah.

**Blair Henley** (3:31)
And then you did win the US Open is the punchline here.

**Kim Clijsters** (3:35)
That's the craziness. Like I actually did win it and I won the US Open series. I was, that was like the first time where they did that, I think if you won the series and it was like double prize money if you won it. And so I ended up winning it that year. So that's always in my wallet with me.

**Blair Henley** (3:50)
That is so cute and also like I need to fan myself so I don't get teary.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:57)
That's so special.

**Blair Henley** (3:58)
So thanks for sharing that with us.

**Kim Clijsters** (4:00)
Thanks. Yeah.

**Blair Henley** (4:01)
All right, Kim. Well, shall we get into what we've got going on this week? Things are heating up figuratively and literally. We had some first time champions last week. So we had Luca Van Ash winning in Esterel, Alice in Kids Fuel. Side note, did you see the Kids Fuel trophy, Kim?

**Kim Clijsters** (4:21)
I did not.

**Blair Henley** (4:23)
It is a bedazzled deer, and I'm just going to put it on record that should anyone want to send me, I don't know, a bedazzled deer. My little replicates.
