00:00:00Doobie Doobie
00:00:17Total Enlightenment
00:00:19An Amazonian elixir that can connect you to your inner self
00:00:24But in the wrong hands
00:00:26It can awaken a darker side of power, greed and lust
00:00:32Three little drops is all it takes
00:00:35Who would have thought all this trouble for three little drops?
00:00:43Close your eyes
00:00:45And listen to the sound of the singing bowls
00:00:48As you clear and align your heart and mind
00:00:53Breathe in
00:00:56And out
00:00:58Breathe in
00:01:01And out
00:01:03Thank you
00:01:06For joining me
00:01:08And showing up for yourself today
00:01:10The light in me
00:01:12The light in me sees the light in you
00:01:17Namaste
00:01:18You ready for today?
00:01:37Not yet
00:01:39Let's go upstairs
00:01:41All right
00:01:42But make it fast
00:01:44Oh
00:01:45You know I have anything but fast
00:01:47I'm your wife
00:01:48I know exactly how fast you are
00:01:50Oh
00:01:51What?
00:01:56There
00:01:57And this here
00:01:59Brill
00:02:00These are stunning
00:02:06Stunning
00:02:07Ah
00:02:13Ah
00:02:14Sorry, babe
00:02:15Really?
00:02:17I'm sorry
00:02:18Date night this week
00:02:19I promise
00:02:20I promise
00:02:25And then he said
00:02:26Brill
00:02:28You can no longer call me guru
00:02:30For it is you who have taught me
00:02:33There is no top
00:02:35Without the bottom
00:02:38And then the universe
00:02:40Brought me to Anna
00:02:42And that's why Synergenin exists
00:02:44Our app is now on the top 50 overall downloads
00:02:47With a 92% retention rate
00:02:49We are the fastest growing app of the year
00:02:51I believe it's time to go public
00:02:53The market is overloaded with yoga sound meditation hybrid apps
00:02:56Well ours is the only one backed up with real sound wave therapy research
00:03:01We need an actual physical product
00:03:04With all due respect, the metaphysical
00:03:07I think we understand your concern
00:03:11We will hold off on announcing IPO until we have workshops and ideas
00:03:16Thank you for your time
00:03:18We'll keep you updated
00:03:22What was that?
00:03:26Oh, uh, sorry?
00:03:28Oh no, Quan, by all means
00:03:30Come on in
00:03:31Maybe you can talk some sense into your sister
00:03:33So I was just about to get the board to go public when she blindsided me
00:03:37I was just gonna make some coffee real quick
00:03:39Yeah, I know business, Anna
00:03:42This isn't tech
00:03:43It's wellness
00:03:44We can't just hire a programmer and code our way out of this
00:03:48It's tech
00:03:49It's wellness
00:03:50It's everything
00:03:52I mean, it's the world
00:03:56Look
00:03:58You are an excellent speaker
00:04:01The face of the company
00:04:02I'm not just a showman
00:04:04Okay, this is years of research
00:04:06I know
00:04:08That's why you're CTO
00:04:09But this requires a certain amount of nuance
00:04:13Mom
00:04:15I'm getting really tired of you undermining me
00:04:18I mean, I only let you lead because I thought that you would keep your promise
00:04:22What are you talking about?
00:04:23My stock options
00:04:25Okay, you promised and you didn't even bring it up
00:04:27I just, um
00:04:29I feel like I don't have any say anymore
00:04:34Any power
00:04:36You have power, Brill, you just don't have patience
00:04:40Really, Quan?
00:04:41Uh, sorry, my bad
00:04:48You need to learn how to play the long game
00:04:50Okay?
00:04:51When we go public, you'll own half the shares
00:04:53That's a lot of power
00:04:54So stop acting like a little
00:04:55Like a little
00:04:56Like a little what?
00:05:00This app doesn't exist without me
00:05:03It was my idea
00:05:05It was my influence
00:05:06It was my money
00:05:08Oh my god, what was you saying?
00:05:11Well, yeah
00:05:12Yeah, it was your money
00:05:14Um
00:05:16Cool
00:05:17I'm gonna, I'm gonna go clear my head
00:05:20Alright?
00:05:22But, uh, just remember that
00:05:26I am the product
00:05:28So, if they need a physical one
00:05:31Then maybe you and your freeloading brother can figure out how to bottle me while I'm gone
00:05:34And namaste to you too, bitch
00:05:45Ooh, nice ice
00:05:48Let me guess, your guru boo bought you those with your money
00:05:53Says the man with no home
00:05:55Uh, okay

00:06:56You need more?
00:06:57Yes, okay
00:06:58I see the potential for the antetogenic effects
00:07:00But it's
00:07:01Detecto what?
00:07:03Increased empathy, feelings, closeness with others and oneself
00:07:07Yeah, exactly

00:08:10What are you doing?
00:08:11Just adding to the list of things you do not know about the fitness and wellness space
00:08:15Blood?
00:08:16Not appropriate
00:08:17And living in your sister's guest room in your 30s is not appropriate
00:08:21Uh, don't you have a downward lotus plank dog to go to?

00:09:37Uh
00:09:38Oh
00:09:39I know
00:09:40How about we do a little of the elixir before we go out?
00:09:44Perhaps I can be persuaded to give you a little taste if you help me put the mats and the blocks away
00:09:51That's a deal
00:09:52Where are you? It looks closed
00:09:56Okay so here's the thing

00:10:54Mm-hmm
00:10:55Yeah
00:10:56Go finish getting ready
00:11:21If you ain't getting me, it's cause someone else is. Leave something silky.
00:11:26Kwon, call me back. It's an emergency. A real one.
00:11:33Ooh
00:11:34Mmm, they have that duck that I like.
00:11:35Duck?
00:11:36Yeah.
00:11:37Really?
00:11:38Yeah.
00:11:39Yeah.
00:11:40Yeah.
00:11:41I thought we were going to go vegetarian for a while.
00:11:42Oh.
00:11:43Maybe we can go vegetarian after the duck?
00:11:44Let's go, I'm hungry.
00:11:45Great.
00:11:47Great.
00:11:48Great.
00:11:50Great.
00:11:51Great.
00:11:52Great.
00:11:56Oh, it's a good one.
00:11:58Oh wait, the duck is so good.
00:11:59It's called a duck.
00:12:01It's a duck that I like.
00:12:03Duck.
00:12:04Yeah.
00:12:05Really?
00:12:06Yeah.
00:12:07I thought we were going to go vegetarian for a while.
00:12:08Oh.
00:12:09Maybe we can go vegetarian after the duck?
00:12:13There we go.
00:14:13Did you see me blow it out?
00:14:19The whole place can burn down.
00:14:20I didn't, but you go.
00:14:22I got to make a phone call.
00:14:23I got to make a phone call.
00:14:53Bro!
00:14:54Bro!
00:14:56Bro!
00:14:57Someone broke in.
00:14:58What?
00:14:59You broke in.
00:14:59I didn't even analyze the studio.
00:15:00They just broke out.
00:15:04Yeah, let's check it out.
00:15:23Hey, babe, I'm probably going to be home late tonight.
00:15:32I'm still out with Reynolds, so don't worry about it.
00:15:35Oh, Anna, I am so sorry.
00:16:05At least she's crazy hot.
00:16:08Like, stupid hot.
00:16:10I mean, would you prefer if she was a dog?
00:16:12Because...
00:16:14Yes, she is very attractive.
00:16:18I know that look.
00:16:20What did my mom always used to say?
00:16:22There's nothing sweeter than...
00:16:24Revenge.
00:16:26Oh, shit.
00:16:27I'm going to destroy him.
00:16:31What's the plan?
00:16:32We need to figure out what the hell he's been doing.
00:16:35And then we need to figure out what this is.
00:16:39Bril and Ophelia were putting drops on their tongues.
00:16:42Not bad.
00:16:45What are you doing?
00:16:46Girl, please.
00:16:47The things I've tortured this body with...
00:16:50I'm sure this is some hippy-dippy chick snack.
00:16:53Knowing your Buddha-bitch husband, it's probably organic.
00:16:57Bril met her at the wellness conference.
00:16:59He told me about her in some kind of special organic balm or something.
00:17:04But never followed up.
00:17:06Oh, but I think he followed up.
00:17:11We need to get into his accounts and figure out what his lying, cheating ass has been up to.
00:17:15Oh.
00:17:19Kwon.
00:17:22Hello?
00:17:26What is this stuff?
00:17:29I don't know yet.
00:17:30Look, I can't stay tonight.
00:17:43I got an early meeting, but I'll come back as soon as I can to help you clean all this up.
00:18:03Okay?
00:18:04Okay.
00:18:10Speaking of meetings, how did the board meeting go?
00:18:14Did you tell them about the elixir?
00:18:17Yeah.
00:18:18The suits.
00:18:19It's going to be a minute.
00:18:21We just have to be patient.
00:18:25I think I've been pretty patient.
00:18:27Yes, but you don't know big business.
00:18:30I don't.
00:18:34Don't patronize me.
00:18:36I built what I have alone.
00:18:37I don't need you or your company.
00:18:39Yeah, I know.
00:18:40I'm sorry.
00:18:41Okay?
00:18:41I just meant that I'm on it.
00:18:46Okay?
00:18:46I'm taking care of it.
00:18:47It's going to be great.
00:18:49Promise.
00:18:50Okay.
00:18:51Okay.
00:19:00Hey.
00:19:06I told you not to wait up.
00:19:08What are you doing?
00:19:09I was going to ask you the same question.
00:19:11Well, I left you a message.
00:19:14I'll start with Reynolds.
00:19:16Oh, yeah.
00:19:16I forgot.
00:19:18Did you have fun?
00:19:19Uh, I don't know.
00:19:23Uh, just went for some drinks.
00:19:25The usual.
00:19:27You okay?
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:30Yeah, I just, I couldn't sleep and I was hungry, so.
00:19:35Who's the best husband in the world?
00:19:37Some duck?
00:19:37Listen, thank you for the earrings and for the leftovers.
00:19:49I'm sorry about our fight.
00:19:52I have only ever wanted what is best for you.
00:19:57I will make it my business to get you what you deserve.
00:20:04Thanks.
00:20:06I'm sorry, too.
00:20:08Maybe we can talk about it tomorrow, though.
00:20:10I'm like, it's Austin.
00:20:13Yeah, I thought I'd bet I'd be up soon.
00:20:34I'm sorry.
00:20:37What are you doing?
00:20:46Morning.
00:20:48Why don't you go back to bed?
00:20:49I can't.
00:20:51Head's spinning.
00:20:52Thinking about our fight and about Quan.
00:20:56Yeah, well, he's not helping the matter, so.
00:20:59What's your issue with my brother?
00:21:00I mean, the fact that he can probably hack the Pentagon is a little bit scary.
00:21:06Yeah, well, he helps us a lot.
00:21:09Mm-hmm.
00:21:10And actually, him and I were brainstorming, and I remembered you told me about this person you met at the wellness conference.
00:21:16Yeah, I think her name started with an O. O-something.
00:21:25Anyway, she had some kind of product, and you were so excited about it, remember?
00:21:29It doesn't ring a bell.
00:21:33No, yeah.
00:21:35Yeah, no, we connected, but there was no science behind it.
00:21:38It was a placebo thing.
00:21:40I thought you only remembered the letter.
00:21:43You tried it?
00:21:44Her product?
00:21:46Uh, no.
00:21:47But I just, I don't think she's on brand for us.
00:21:51Well, look, why don't you just try and get a meeting?
00:21:53Couldn't hurt, right?
00:21:53Yeah, if you want, sure.
00:21:56Of course, I'll do it.
00:21:58Uh, but you should know that I'm pursuing other avenues with engineers to create new products for us.
00:22:05I know you are, husband.
00:22:07I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
00:22:12Um, don't you have that podcast with your, your nemesis?
00:22:16Oh.
00:22:19Um, watch out for that Sarah.
00:22:21Uh, you know, she's got, uh, jaws like an orca.
00:22:25I think I can handle her.
00:22:27Yeah.
00:22:35Oh, how wonderful.
00:22:37You're still here.
00:22:38Hmm, don't worry.
00:22:39We'll be out of each other's hair soon enough.
00:22:41Is that my robe?
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:43This is how you wear it.
00:22:46Ew.
00:22:51Asshole.
00:22:54Ooh, you clean up nice.
00:22:56Okay, well, that's great to hear because I had a horrible sleep.
00:23:00And then I saw him texting someone this morning.
00:23:02That bitch.
00:23:03While I'm doing the podcast, go through his home computer.
00:23:06He's going to be out for a couple of hours in meetings, go through his clothes, his drawers, everything.
00:23:11Now we talk.
00:23:12I need to be searchable under a different name.
00:23:15Can you build me a separate social media profile, fake company, everything?
00:23:18Uh, is Idris Elba a living, breathing god?
00:23:20How about...
00:23:22Anna Clark?
00:23:24Ooh, see, that is the look I missed.
00:23:27The look of a killer.
00:23:28You know, that's one you can only get from foster care and a criminal parental upbringing.
00:23:32And then later we're going to go through my closet and we're going to find something from my past.
00:23:36Something spicy.
00:23:38I'm going to need it.
00:23:39I have a date later.
00:23:40Okay.
00:23:40Uh, can I get my coffee back?
00:23:44Welcome back to the Trend and Transcend podcast.
00:23:47I'm Janine Ackerst.
00:23:48Today we are talking to Sarah Borg, a pioneer who took her holistic message into the technology space,
00:23:53making her company, Gentler Minds, a continued trend leader after 15 years.
00:23:59Also with us is Anna Kent, CEO, who along with her business partner, Brill Cooper,
00:24:04co-founded the wellness app, Synergetin.
00:24:07Welcome, Anna.
00:24:08For the record, Anna, I think you're a proper tech innovator
00:24:12with an understanding of the health and wellness space.
00:24:15I've been a fan of yours since your first two apps.
00:24:18But your partner, Brill Cooper, is, well, a failed tech bro
00:24:21who attempted to disrupt the holistic space but ultimately failed.
00:24:25If I'm being honest, Janine, Synergetin created a gimmick app.
00:24:30Nothing new.
00:24:30Okay.
00:24:32Shots fired.
00:24:35Thank you for your compliments on my past work.
00:24:39Truly humbling coming from you.
00:24:41That said, Sarah makes a great point about failure,
00:24:44and at Synergetin we believe that if Brill hadn't failed,
00:24:46we wouldn't be on our way to major success.
00:24:49The acquisition of skill almost always comes after failure.
00:24:52Did you wake up one morning and know how to do what you do?
00:24:55Of course not.
00:24:56I grew up very poor.
00:24:58I made my way to this place by being inept,
00:25:01which led to failure, but then growth.
00:25:03Some of my mistakes have been very bad,
00:25:05and I am not proud of them.
00:25:07But they've gotten me here.
00:25:09We test, and we try, and we hope for success.
00:25:12That's what science is.
00:25:14And instinct.
00:25:16Largely, mine has been on point.
00:25:20But is it enough to change the future of the wellness space?
00:25:23I think my company is on its way to revolutionary and seismic breakthroughs.
00:25:29And what about you, Sarah?
00:25:30What's the future of wellness tech at Gentler Minds?
00:25:34Oh, well, we are launching a new product line soon.
00:25:40Updates to follow.
00:25:41Elusive.
00:25:43Anna, tell us more about these breakthroughs coming at Synergetin.
00:25:46Actually, we recently added positive gamification to our app.
00:25:51And very soon, we will be announcing a new wellness product
00:25:54that will be a compendium to our app.
00:25:58Hey, I am so sorry again about the yoga mess-up.
00:26:01Oh.
00:26:02Did you see what happened to her space?
00:26:04I got super jacked up.
00:26:06Oh, wow. Really?
00:26:07Yeah, I feel so bad for her.
00:26:09But once she gets things back in order, we need to go.
00:26:11Yes.
00:26:11Janine, thank you.
00:26:13Pleasure as always.
00:26:14And Anna, in all seriousness, watch your pocketbook.
00:26:19You're smart and talented.
00:26:21You don't need a man or anyone to validate you.
00:26:23If you have a partner, that partner should be able to deliver what you deliver.
00:26:28Well, it's great seeing you again.
00:26:34I don't know if she's trying to deter you, sleep with you, or be your business partner.
00:26:39Right?
00:26:40Hmm.
00:26:40Very confusing.
00:26:44Listen, uh, about yoga-
00:26:46So sorry, but my next guest is here, and I need to go check my notes.
00:26:49Okay, okay.
00:26:51I'll see you soon.
00:26:52Bye.
00:26:52Bye.
00:26:52Got him
00:27:10Hey, baby
00:27:18Hey
00:27:19How you doing?
00:27:20I'm just trying to get everything back to normal
00:27:23It's such a violation
00:27:25Well, I'm here to help
00:27:27Thank you, babe
00:27:29How are your morning meetings?
00:27:36The IPO's going to be delayed
00:27:37You're what?
00:27:39My one partner
00:27:41And I have very different perspectives
00:27:43On how the company should move forward
00:27:45Anyway, one of the things we disagree on
00:27:47Is the Elixir
00:27:47We'll obviously get rid of him as a partner
00:27:50Oh
00:27:51Hey
00:27:54Hello, Brill
00:27:55I just finished the podcast
00:27:57Hi, can you talk?
00:27:58Um, yeah, can I get back to you in about an hour?
00:28:01Absolutely
00:28:01Looking forward to it
00:28:03You're going to hate me, but
00:28:07I got to go
00:28:09Really?
00:28:10You just got here
00:28:11Who was that?
00:28:13See, it's like this
00:28:14This beautiful universe knows that we need help
00:28:17Because that was one of the investors
00:28:19And they want to talk about the IPO
00:28:20But I have to do it now
00:28:21I'm so sorry
00:28:22But I promise I will help with all of this
00:28:24Okay?
00:28:25As soon as I'm done
00:28:26I'll be right back
00:28:26I promise
00:28:28I'll be back
00:28:29Friends and family of Quo Yoga
00:28:31I have something heartbreaking to announce to you
00:28:34Just look what they've done to our ashram
00:28:37I don't understand why someone could do this to my safe and enlightened space
00:28:42Okay, sis, you did not tell me that you tore up that baby's place
00:28:45I plead the fifth
00:28:46But if I were to play the hero
00:28:49It would be easier to gain trust
00:28:50If the damsel in question were in distress
00:28:52Mm-hmm
00:28:53No and no
00:28:54Also, you asked me to go through bro's stuff?
00:28:57Yes
00:28:57Well, look at what I found
00:28:59I saw him take those
00:29:02Cheater, liar, and a thief
00:29:04I trusted him with everything
00:29:08I'm such an idiot
00:29:11Mm-mm-mm
00:29:12We don't have time for this
00:29:13Do not go there
00:29:14Also, that dress is enough
00:29:15Okay, you're right
00:29:17Focus
00:29:18What about his texts
00:29:19Emails
00:29:19Uh, he and Dr. Reynolds have been going back and forth about getting more samples of the elixir
00:29:24No
00:29:25Reynolds says that he can duplicate it
00:29:27But the original was contaminated or diluted
00:29:30And so he needs more
00:29:31This was all just yesterday
00:29:32So that's what Brill was doing last night
00:29:33Getting more samples
00:29:34Yeah, apparently contamination can lead to lower efficacy and making people sick
00:29:39Ooh, yes
00:29:41Stunning
00:29:42That's the one
00:29:43I think the samples need to be contaminated again
00:29:46Did they set a time to meet with the new ones?
00:29:48Tonight
00:29:49Oh shit
00:29:50Okay, well let's fix that right now
00:29:52What can we put in there?
00:29:52Uh, apparently grapefruit juice is disruptive
00:29:54Okay, there is grapefruit seed extract in the kitchen
00:29:57Go
00:29:58Just a touch
00:30:00I need to finish getting ready
00:30:01Uh, are you going where I think you're going?
00:30:04I'm taking everything from Brill
00:30:06Everything
00:30:08Put those back where you found them and keep looking through his files
00:30:11We have to figure out who he's getting financing from and who he's meeting with this week
00:30:15Oh, this is getting juicy
00:30:17I'm a queen
00:30:23I'm the queen round here
00:30:24She a queen
00:30:25My world, my sphere
00:30:26I'm a queen
00:30:28I'm the queen round here
00:30:29She a queen
00:30:30My right, I sphere
00:30:31Sh-sh-sh
00:30:32I'm the queen round here
00:30:33Sh-sh-sh
00:30:34My world, my sphere
00:30:36Sh-sh-sh
00:30:36I'm the queen round here
00:30:38Hi
00:30:39Hi, I'm sorry, we're closed
00:30:43Oh, don't apologize
00:30:45I'm not here for a class
00:30:47My friend Janine told me about a break-in
00:30:49You're Ophelia, right?
00:30:51I'm Anna Clark
00:30:52Hi, Anna
00:30:53That's so kind
00:30:55How can I help you?
00:30:57I invest in female-owned businesses
00:30:58Your story moved me
00:31:00Really?
00:31:02If you have some time
00:31:03Maybe you could, uh, show me around
00:31:06And tell me a bit about you
00:31:07And your business
00:31:08Great proceed, I strike
00:31:36Dinner or something happened, huh?
00:31:59Okay
00:32:03Kwon
00:32:04Hey, bro
00:32:06Listen, I have an important call in here
00:32:10In about 30 minutes
00:32:11So
00:32:11If you could make yourself scarce
00:32:13Oh, yeah
00:32:14That's totally fine
00:32:15I was actually just about to go somewhere
00:32:17Coolio
00:32:19Cool
00:32:19Cool
00:32:21Cool
00:32:22You could have been seriously injured
00:32:46Oh, no
00:32:47When I was in the Corps
00:32:48My assignment was at a Peruvian village
00:32:50That was plagued by ongoing gang wars
00:32:52You were in the Marine Corps?
00:32:55Peace Corps
00:32:56Anyway, I'm pretty confident in my hand-to-hand combat skills
00:33:01Impressive
00:33:02Not compared to the day I was bathing
00:33:05And had to wrestle an anaconda
00:33:08Well, it, uh, seems like you've lived quite a life
00:33:14So, Ophelia
00:33:16Let's talk business
00:33:19What are your goals for this place?
00:33:22For everything?
00:33:24Hmm
00:33:24To change the world
00:33:30By inviting people to be their most authentic selves
00:33:33Hey, you okay?
00:33:54What?
00:33:56I said, are you okay?
00:33:57Uh, uh, yeah, yeah
00:33:58I'm good
00:33:59I just, uh
00:34:00Oh, you know what?
00:34:01Anna actually asked me
00:34:02If I could return some shoes she bought
00:34:04Would you mind if I?
00:34:05Yeah, mm
00:34:05Do your thing
00:34:06Thanks
00:34:08You find them?
00:34:16Yeah, uh, they're just right there
00:34:18Hmm
00:34:32My elixir
00:34:35Which literally awakens the most uncensored, authentic part of yourself
00:34:39The part that takes risks and then realizes full potential
00:34:43And I truly thought there'd be a way to have elixir think tanks for idea generation
00:34:47But I'm still working that part out
00:34:49Anyway, what I'm trying to say is it's all connected
00:34:52Sorry
00:34:54That was a lot
00:34:55No
00:34:56No
00:34:56It was intelligent and passionate and thoughtful
00:35:01Uh
00:35:04Oh, sorry, just give me one sec
00:35:07Yeah, no problem
00:35:09Take your time
00:35:10Did you get in?
00:35:12Girl, his firewall is easier to get into than me after three margaritas
00:35:16All right
00:35:17So we got Ophelia Stone, Janine Ackhurst, and Sarah Borg
00:35:23Sarah Borg?
00:35:24Yeah, they emailed yesterday about a phone call for today
00:35:27Okay
00:35:27Any emails right before or after?
00:35:30Oh, not in his inbox, but in his trash
00:35:36Got an appointment confirmation for Polyxan Research Lab
00:35:41Open it
00:35:42A confirming appointment for extraction of Amazonian donic
00:35:47Perfect
00:35:47Did you put it back where you found it?
00:35:50Yeah, but I might have messed up a little bit
00:35:51How?
00:35:53Well, I hacked into Burrow's computer first
00:35:54But then while I was contaminating the elixir, he came home
00:35:57Oh, did he see you?
00:35:59I don't think so
00:36:00But I had to make him an excuse to get back into the closet to return the elixir
00:36:04And while I was in there, he walked in
00:36:07Shit
00:36:07Okay, what about my new profile?
00:36:10Socials, new website?
00:36:12Done, clean and simple
00:36:13Thank you
00:36:14What next?
00:36:15Now he wants me to leave because he has an important call
00:36:18Well, Sarah
00:36:20Okay, leave
00:36:22But see if you can leave at the last minute
00:36:24And see if you can hear what they're saying
00:36:25I forget your keys or something
00:36:27Sis, that is crazy
00:36:28We have to figure out what's going on
00:36:30Alright, I will do what I can
00:36:32Sorry about that
00:36:35Work stuff
00:36:36No problem
00:36:38You're still here?
00:36:42Yeah, I just needed to grab some water for the road
00:36:44Hurry up
00:36:46Go
00:36:46I have to take this
00:36:47Yeah, sure, for sure
00:36:48Hey, Sarah, thanks for taking my call today
00:36:55Of course
00:36:56Look, I'm gonna cut to the chase
00:36:59Before you do
00:37:00I just want to apologize for the dig I made about you on Janine's show
00:37:04It was mostly to get under Anna's skin
00:37:07And it worked
00:37:09Yeah, it did
00:37:10Look, I see us both as stars
00:37:13In the same sky
00:37:15Share with me your vision
00:37:17This is a product that actually leads to vision
00:37:20It's called simply
00:37:22The elixir
00:37:23It's a natural tonic that's sourced from ancient ingredients first used by Incan elders in Peru
00:37:30It promotes mental clarity
00:37:32Groundedness
00:37:34And an all-around sense of spiritual well-being
00:37:36It's a tangible, sellable wellness product
00:37:41A panacea for Mother Nature herself
00:37:43Exactly
00:37:44See, I knew that you would get it
00:37:47Which is why I'm bringing it to you
00:37:48And, paired with my groundbreaking soundwave therapy
00:37:53It provides the opportunity to experience utter and complete gladness
00:37:58Well, it certainly aligns with Gentler Minds
00:38:01But I want to be fully transparent
00:38:03Gentler Minds is my baby
00:38:06I must protect it from those I deem unworthy
00:38:09Bro, you know I think you're a beacon
00:38:12And this elixir, should it actually work, is compelling
00:38:15But I will never work with Anna
00:38:19Oh, I'm not asking you to
00:38:21I plan on leaving the company
00:38:23But I'm bringing the elixir with me
00:38:25So, simply name me your new COO
00:38:29And together, let's change the world
00:38:32Well, obviously I need assurance this elixir is everything you say it is
00:38:36And it can be mass-produced
00:38:37Yeah, absolutely, of course
00:38:39Good
00:38:41Gentler Minds is expanding
00:38:44If all goes well, our new facilities could be used to manufacture your elixir
00:38:49Just give me a second
00:38:56What are you still doing here?
00:38:59I just, I left my backpack
00:39:01I'm going, I'm going
00:39:02Hey, um, so should we discuss terms?
00:39:13So, you believe that through risk we achieve our highest potential and in doing so we see ourselves clearly?
00:39:20Not necessarily, but it is my belief that it is in those moments when we live in the extremes
00:39:27That we can feel our full force in the world
00:39:31Admirable, but could be a bit of a gamble
00:39:35What do you mean?
00:39:36Well, what if my true self, me at my core, is someone a little dangerous?
00:39:46Well, it shouldn't shock you to hear that
00:39:49I like a little danger
00:39:56I want to give you the capital you need to expand
00:39:59What, like a loan?
00:40:00No, I want to be your partner
00:40:03I go with my gut and that was one of the best pitches I've ever heard
00:40:07I wasn't pitching
00:40:08I know
00:40:09I invest in companies and help them achieve their goals
00:40:14I go with my instincts and I like what I've heard here today
00:40:18You have enormous potential
00:40:20Don't answer now
00:40:23I know a stranger coming in off the street and offering you a golden apple is unusual, so...
00:40:29So you want to invest in my studio?
00:40:31I want to invest in you
00:40:40Mull it over
00:40:41And you can let me know if I'm the kind of person you want to get into bed with
00:40:47This has to be more than enough
00:40:49This is a good sample, bro
00:40:56So, how much longer do you need?
00:40:59Well, at least three weeks to get the formula complete and then another two to three weeks to start
00:41:03No, it's too long
00:41:04Come on, look, I'm moving as fast as I can, alright?
00:41:07But this is a very unusual and complex organic structure
00:41:14Yeah, I know
00:41:15What can we do to make it go quicker?
00:41:17If I have more money, I could bring another person
00:41:21Okay, hire them
00:41:22And I'll find the money somewhere
00:41:24This has to be perfect
00:41:26I can't get this new investor on board without the replication
00:41:29And then the board are going to be sorry they never went public with me
00:41:33I'm on it
00:41:36Right on time
00:41:38He's leaving Polyxan Labs
00:41:40And his phone call with Sarah recorded?
00:41:42Oh, I managed
00:41:44Excellent
00:41:46He's on his way home
00:41:48Time for mama to get to work
00:41:54She just came in here on the street says she saw it on the news
00:41:56Wow, that's crazy
00:41:57And she wants to invest
00:41:59Well, that's too bad, hon
00:42:00What?
00:42:01Are you even listening?
00:42:03Yeah, of course
00:42:04Um
00:42:05Look, I gotta call you back, okay?
00:42:07No
00:42:08Wait, Brill
00:42:09Not at all
00:42:10I think that we just have to be really mindful about the way that we present it
00:42:14But I think it's totally up to us
00:42:16Yes
00:42:17Oh, hey team, Brill just walked in
00:42:21What are we laughing at?
00:42:22Just give me a second, Brill
00:42:24Okay, well, great brainstorming session
00:42:26Oh, and Robert
00:42:28I love that instinct
00:42:30Universality or the illusion of separateness
00:42:33I don't know
00:42:34It's your brainchild
00:42:36I want to know more
00:42:38Let's talk more about this
00:42:41Oh
00:42:42Well, thank you for being part of the Synergeddon family and for trusting me with your ideas
00:42:48You honour me
00:42:49And I too am honoured by you
00:42:51Namaste
00:42:52Hey
00:42:53They hung up
00:42:55What?
00:42:56What?
00:42:57What is all this?
00:42:59The big boss lady wants to get some bonus points?
00:43:02Every general needs to inspire
00:43:04Sorry, do you feel like I'm stepping on your toes?
00:43:06No, no, no
00:43:07It's just, uh, you know, brainstorming sessions are usually my thing
00:43:11Well, you can't patent brainstorming, Brill
00:43:14Besides, you've been so busy lately
00:43:16But I never want to hurt your feelings
00:43:18Should we talk more about this?
00:43:19Dinner tonight, just us?
00:43:21I'm already dressed
00:43:22Uh, no, I'm already late for a possible new partner meeting
00:43:26Um, I just forgot my wallet
00:43:28Okay, well, let me know if you need any help
00:43:30We both know I'm the closer
00:43:31Huh
00:43:32You got jokes
00:43:34Funny
00:43:35Okay
00:43:36Good luck, babe
00:43:41Time to close the bank
00:43:58Look who it is
00:44:08Hi, babe
00:44:09Hey, I was just trying to take out some cash and my card's not working
00:44:13Oh, that's odd
00:44:15You'll have to go down to the bank tomorrow and see what's going on
00:44:18Well, can you just look online right now and see if something's going on?
00:44:22Of course
00:44:23Hold on
00:44:25Hmm
00:44:27What is it?
00:44:28That's so weird
00:44:29It looks like your card was blocked due to suspicious activity
00:44:33Okay, that's impossible, so
00:44:35Well, you should be grateful that our bank protects us
00:44:37And what do you need cash for anyway?
00:44:40Shouldn't you be able to send it electronically?
00:44:42Yeah
00:44:43Good idea
00:44:45I'll call the bank tomorrow
00:44:48Great, thanks
00:44:51I didn't really care about that
00:44:52I didn't know
00:44:53I didn't know
00:44:54I didn't.
00:44:55I don't think I was there
00:44:56He didn't know
00:44:57Even if you're going, he didn't know
00:44:58Oh my God
00:44:59God, I can't
00:45:00I can't
00:45:01He didn't know
00:45:02I can't
00:45:03You can't
00:45:05I can't
00:45:07You can't
00:45:08I can't
00:45:09You can't
00:45:10You can't
00:45:11He
00:45:12You can't
00:45:13You can't
00:45:14You can't
00:45:15You can't
00:45:16You can't
00:45:19Oh, this has got to be Ophelia.
00:45:28Answer it!
00:45:30Anna Clark's office.
00:45:32Hi, this is Ophelia Stone.
00:45:34I'm sorry, it's a bit late.
00:45:36I just met Anna.
00:45:38She told me to call her.
00:45:40Please, while I see if she's available.
00:45:49Okay, that's enough. Poor girl, she's suffering.
00:45:53Oh god, no. Ten more seconds.
00:46:00Okay.
00:46:02I have Ms. Clark here for you.
00:46:05Hello?
00:46:08This is Anna Clark.
00:46:10Hi, Anna, it's Ophelia Stone.
00:46:13We met at my studio earlier.
00:46:15Ophelia, hi. I was hoping you'd call.
00:46:19About our conversation.
00:46:21I'm in.
00:46:23Great!
00:46:24Well, I'll send over my cleaning crew,
00:46:26and then we talk big picture.
00:46:28Oh my god, thank you.
00:46:30This is so exciting.
00:46:33I'll see you tomorrow.
00:46:35Ciao.
00:46:49What are you doing?
00:47:01You said that you wanted to talk.
00:47:03Well, not now. I'm not in the mood.
00:47:05I'm tired and emotionally exhausted.
00:47:07Oh, come on, baby. We can always change the mood.
00:47:10No, I have to wake up early and deal with this mess.
00:47:13Yeah, but I said I would help with it.
00:47:15That's...
00:47:16Yeah, it's too late now.
00:47:18Plus, I have someone who's interested in my business.
00:47:20And the Elixir.
00:47:22What?
00:47:23Yeah, I tried to tell you earlier on the phone.
00:47:25When you hung up on me.
00:47:27I'm sorry.
00:47:28I mean, I was distracted.
00:47:30I had a big marketing meeting today, and...
00:47:32Please, Brill. Let's discuss tomorrow.
00:47:35I'm really tired.
00:47:38Uh, okay. Yeah.
00:47:40I can't thank you enough. I think your cleaning crew has made it look even better than it was.
00:48:05My pleasure. I have some papers for you to look at. Do you have an office or somewhere quiet we can talk?
00:48:12Yeah. Let's go upstairs.
00:48:19Babe?
00:48:21Hannah?
00:48:23Quan?
00:48:35Hello. You've reached Ophelia Stone. Please...
00:48:50Always a pleasure to hear your voice, Sarah.
00:48:53L-listen, um...
00:48:55Do you think that you could front me some of the research money?
00:48:58You know, in good faith?
00:49:00Just...
00:49:01Yeah, some people I need to pay off, and, uh...
00:49:04Just to make things move a lot quicker.
00:49:06Great.
00:49:07Thanks.
00:49:19I didn't realize you had a living space in the studio.
00:49:22Makes for an easy commute.
00:49:25Here's my standard partnership agreement. Everything's negotiable, so...
00:49:30Have your lawyer take a look.
00:49:32Great.
00:49:33Would you care for some kombucha?
00:49:35Sure.
00:49:37To women in business.
00:49:52To finding kindred spirits.
00:49:58Such a beautiful space.
00:50:02Huh.
00:50:03Is this from your anaconda wrestling days?
00:50:05You remembered.
00:50:06Of course.
00:50:08Who's the girl?
00:50:09That's my ex.
00:50:10We're still great friends.
00:50:12I'm godmother to three of her kids.
00:50:14How modern.
00:50:16Are you seeing anyone now?
00:50:18Sorry, is that too personal?
00:50:20No.
00:50:21Not at all.
00:50:23Uh, yeah, I'm kind of seeing someone.
00:50:26How about you?
00:50:27Anyone special?
00:50:28Huh.
00:50:29Is this him?
00:50:30A guy?
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:33Mm-hmm.
00:50:34He's cute.
00:50:35He is.
00:50:37Affectionate.
00:50:38Playful.
00:50:40Sounds like a golden retriever.
00:50:42Just kidding.
00:50:44I'm sure he's wonderful and supportive.
00:50:49What did he say when you told him about me and our venture?
00:50:52Oh, I didn't bother him with that.
00:50:56He has his own work concerns and my work is obviously my priority.
00:51:02I just don't think he takes me that seriously.
00:51:04Well, that's a mistake.
00:51:06You're someone to take very seriously, not to be underestimated.
00:51:09Just ask that anaconda.
00:51:10I actually love it when people underestimate me.
00:51:15Then every move I make is the element of surprise.
00:51:20So what's in the box?
00:51:22Blood of your enemies?
00:51:29My elixir.
00:51:30Oh, the fear and danger confronting potion.
00:51:38What's it made of?
00:51:39Snake venom and virgin blood?
00:51:42That's funny.
00:51:44No, it's an ancient Amazonian remedy.
00:51:48Amauta, the elder at the Peruvian village I served, entrusted me with the recipe.
00:51:53So it's purely plant-based?
00:51:55Yes.
00:51:56What's the dosage?
00:51:57I take three drops one to three times a day.
00:52:00And what happens if you take more than three drops?
00:52:03Like, say, a whole vial?
00:52:06Oh, girl.
00:52:07I've only done that once.
00:52:09Amauta invited me to this sacred ceremony.
00:52:12You sit in a hut and take a full vial.
00:52:15And an elder guides you as it awakens your god force.
00:52:19What psychology calls your id.
00:52:22The part of you that society says should stay hidden.
00:52:25But I wouldn't suggest that as your first experience.
00:52:28Also, like with all natural medicine, people have a variety of experiences.
00:52:33Some people get violently ill.
00:52:35Like, as in death or permanent damage?
00:52:38No, no, no. Nothing like that.
00:52:40Like, say, if you do shrooms, you can get very sick to your stomach.
00:52:45Some people can pass out from the experience, but nothing deadly or dangerous.
00:52:52Some citrus can have a severe interaction, especially grapefruit.
00:52:58Still working out how to manage things like that.
00:53:00Well, that's what warning labels are for and safeguards against these things.
00:53:04So what's a normal dosage to do?
00:53:06It grounds you.
00:53:08Allows you to hear your soul without any static.
00:53:13Helps you inhabit your body more fully.
00:53:16It's like ultimate awareness.
00:53:19Euphoric. Freeing.
00:53:21You can actually go within your mind and see how to heal, how to extract fears, peel back layers.
00:53:31I guess it's harder to explain than I thought.
00:53:34You could show me.
00:53:37Okay.
00:53:38Yes.
00:54:07Yes.
00:54:08Yes.
00:54:09Yes.
00:54:10Yes.
00:54:11I'm not sir.
00:54:13Yes.
00:54:15Yes.
00:54:17Yes.
00:54:23Yes.
00:54:24Yes.
00:54:26Yes.
00:54:32I, I, I, I, I...
00:54:35So, after I trained for eight years, I got my black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
00:54:57How often have you had to use it?
00:54:59More often than you think.
00:55:01So, I feel like you know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you.
00:55:08Besides what's on your website bio.
00:55:11Were you and Mark Zuckerberg really on the same mathlete team?
00:55:14Oh, you really shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet, Ophelia.
00:55:19Okay.
00:55:20So, tell me something true.
00:55:24When and where were you the happiest?
00:55:31I turned seven.
00:55:33We just moved to Louisiana.
00:55:35We moved around a lot.
00:55:38And I remember the first thing I saw was this carousel.
00:55:42You know those old-fashioned carousels with the painted horses?
00:55:45Mm-hmm.
00:55:46All I wanted was to ride on this carousel.
00:55:50But my mom always said, later.
00:55:52Another day.
00:55:54And then one night, at midnight, she woke me up and said we were going for a drive.
00:56:05And I had never seen the city so asleep, so dark.
00:56:15So, she pulls over and walks me from the car and says, stay there.
00:56:22Keep your eyes closed.
00:56:23No peeking.
00:56:24So, I wait for what feels like an eternity.
00:56:30And then I hear that music.
00:56:35And she says, open.
00:56:37And there was the carousel just for me.
00:56:43How did she do it?
00:56:44Well, she broke in and hot-wired it.
00:56:48My mom always said, a lock was just a suggestion.
00:56:54A five-minute pony ride on a stolen carousel.
00:57:00It's the happiest I've ever been in my life.
00:57:03She wanted to do anything she could to get you what you wanted.
00:57:06There's so much love in that.
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:10She was good at that.
00:57:13That five minutes of perfect.
00:57:17It was only then I realized the car was packed.
00:57:20Time to go.
00:57:21How come?
00:57:22How come?
00:57:23Like I said, we moved around a lot.
00:57:25No.
00:57:27My mom was a con artist.
00:57:30Never had a straight job in her life.
00:57:33If she did, it would be as a maid for a week and then you'd be on the road again in a stolen car with a bag full of some other woman's jewelry.
00:57:43She never got caught?
00:57:45On the rare occasion the cops would pick her up.
00:57:47They never held her for long.
00:57:49No.
00:57:50But long enough.
00:57:51And then I'd be in and out of foster homes until I let her go.
00:57:56It must have been really hard.
00:57:57It must have been really hard.
00:57:58It was.
00:57:59But it's how I met Kwon.
00:58:03It's nasty.
00:58:04Bitch.
00:58:05What you doing, Kwon?
00:58:06Moving out?
00:58:07Maybe.
00:58:08Depending on how tonight goes.
00:58:09Yeah, is that the plan?
00:58:10You find yourself a sugar daddy to take care of you?
00:58:11Well, it does seem to work for some people.
00:58:15You trying to be funny?
00:58:29Hey.
00:58:32Not exactly the warm greeting.
00:58:35I was excited about that.
00:58:38That was a good question.
00:58:39Not exactly the warm greeting I was expecting dropping off this many bands.
00:58:43I'm sorry.
00:58:46I had a rough day.
00:58:49So you have it.
00:58:51An envelope full of cash?
00:58:52I do.
00:58:53I feel like I'm in the mafia.
00:58:55Mind telling me what this is for?
00:58:56The source where I get my product from has another potential partner, so the race is on.
00:59:01So anyway, Kwan is my foster brother turned real brother and my best friend.
00:59:10He knows everything about me, seen me at my worst, and he stayed.
00:59:17That's invaluable to have someone like that.
00:59:21It is.
00:59:24Okay.
00:59:26That was a lot.
00:59:31I think you are the most astonishing, most beautiful person I have ever met.
00:59:51I should go.
00:59:53What?
00:59:54No, wait, Anna.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
00:59:57I shouldn't have told you all that.
00:59:58We're going into business together, and business and pleasure don't mix.
01:00:03You don't scare me.
01:00:07Maybe I should.
01:00:08What's wrong with her?
01:00:23Oh.
01:00:26Oh.
01:00:27Oh.
01:00:29Oh.
01:00:33Oh.
01:00:34Oh.
01:00:34Oh.
01:00:35Oh.
01:00:35Oh.
01:00:36You're home yeah, I live here, what are you doing
01:01:00I've just seen if Kwon was home, I can order a pizza
01:01:06Cheap day?
01:01:09Yeah, I'm just bored
01:01:12How was your night?
01:01:15Great, I think I may have found a solution to our physical product problem
01:01:19Really?
01:01:22Tomorrow, I'm exhausted
01:01:30Uh, yeah, I'll send something over as soon as I have it
01:01:36I couldn't agree more
01:01:41Absolutely
01:01:42No, this feels like this is the start of something very, very special
01:01:47Hey babe, did you make coffee?
01:01:54Yeah
01:01:54Alright, well just email me anytime
01:01:57It was nice speaking with you
01:01:59Absolutely, have a good day
01:02:01Who was that?
01:02:07Who was that?
01:02:09Why, he's always on my back lately about who I'm talking to
01:02:11Well, we're partners, transparency is part of the deal, why are you so defensive?
01:02:15I'm not being defensive
01:02:16Okay, well, you seem stressed
01:02:18I've noticed you haven't quite been yourself
01:02:21Okay, are you trying to pick a fight with me today?
01:02:25I'm fine, okay
01:02:26I'm just handling the business
01:02:28I'm doing fine
01:02:29Yeah
01:02:30Yes, you are
01:02:32It's just that the board and I think
01:02:35That maybe it would be a good idea
01:02:37For you to delegate some of your unnecessary burdens
01:02:40And really just own your role
01:02:42As more of a figurehead in the company
01:02:44You really should watch how you talk to me, babe
01:02:47Okay, because I could go anywhere and be this big
01:02:49Maybe even bigger
01:02:50Do you hear how you're speaking to me?
01:02:58Forgive me
01:02:59I'm sorry
01:03:01You're right
01:03:01I love you
01:03:03Maybe I'm just
01:03:06Maybe I'm just stressed
01:03:07There's nothing to forgive
01:03:17I'm gonna go work out with Janine
01:03:21See you later
01:03:23Downward facing dog
01:03:28Breathe
01:03:34This is good, but you need to
01:03:38Sorry, do you mind if I adjust your pose?
01:03:40Sure
01:03:40You want to send your breath
01:03:43All the way from the top of the spine
01:03:45And out through the tailbone
01:03:48Breathe
01:03:52Good
01:03:55Chaturanga
01:03:56I told you she was good
01:04:00Yeah, very good
01:04:02And Cobra
01:04:06I might invest in her company
01:04:09That's great
01:04:10You can be on the podcast whenever you're ready
01:04:12And upward facing dog
01:04:15She has great ideas
01:04:17And this amazing new product
01:04:19I can't wait to show you
01:04:20Looking forward
01:04:21And child's pose
01:04:23How was your date?
01:04:34It's always good if I don't come home
01:04:35But it was long and fun
01:04:38And I could really use a nap
01:04:39So
01:04:39What is that?
01:04:43You're a terrible liar, Kwan
01:04:46You always have been
01:04:48So where'd you get it?
01:04:51I went on a date with a hippie guy
01:04:54No, still lying
01:04:57So you can't just get this
01:04:59Any place
01:05:01The only place you can get it is from me
01:05:03And I didn't give this to you
01:05:04So where did you get it?
01:05:06I swear that's where I got it from
01:05:07He was going to some yoga class
01:05:09And some yoga chick gave it to him
01:05:11Yeah
01:05:15It's the same place I get it
01:05:18Yoga chick
01:05:19Did you try it?
01:05:22Yeah
01:05:22It's nice, right?
01:05:25Very
01:05:25You didn't tell Anna, did you?
01:05:29No, no
01:05:29You know how she is
01:05:31She doesn't even smoke weed
01:05:32Yeah
01:05:34True
01:05:35Okay, brother
01:05:39Have a good nap
01:05:41Thanks
01:05:42Alright, so how are we looking?
01:05:56This will certainly expedite matters
01:06:00Good
01:06:00Okay, keep me posted
01:06:03Come in, come in
01:06:06Would you like some tea?
01:06:07Sure
01:06:07Oh, and I signed those papers
01:06:09Did you have your lawyer look at them?
01:06:11Didn't need to
01:06:12Ophelia
01:06:13That's a lovely gesture
01:06:15But for your safety
01:06:16I trust you
01:06:17To my core
01:06:18Sorry, I have to take this
01:06:23Pena, we have a problem
01:06:27What is it?
01:06:28Bro went through my stuff
01:06:29And he found the elixir
01:06:30What did you say?
01:06:31I told him that I got it
01:06:32From a guy I was seeing
01:06:33And that he got it
01:06:34From a yoga teacher
01:06:34Did he buy it?
01:06:36I think so
01:06:37But now I'm wondering
01:06:37What else he might know
01:06:38Thankfully, Brit
01:06:39He's not that clever
01:06:44But just in case
01:06:46Change the passwords
01:06:47Send them to me
01:06:48Alright, just give me a second
01:06:49Done and done
01:07:00Got it
01:07:04Okay, we all set up for later
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:07Love you, Q
01:07:08I love you too
01:07:10Sorry about that
01:07:13Look
01:07:16We have to talk
01:07:18We do
01:07:20I'm sorry if I
01:07:22Just listen
01:07:23I don't want you to think
01:07:26I'm taking advantage of you
01:07:28I think you are a
01:07:31Brilliant
01:07:32Beautiful
01:07:34Person
01:07:35I can't help but be
01:07:37Attracted to you
01:07:38I think you know that
01:07:40Which is why I want to tell you
01:07:42That I want to work with you
01:07:44Okay
01:07:44You don't owe me anything
01:07:46Is that why
01:07:47You think I kissed you
01:07:49Because I felt I owed you something
01:07:52I don't know
01:07:53I hope not
01:07:54But as someone who cares about you
01:07:58And
01:07:59I do
01:08:00I want to protect you
01:08:03Even from me
01:08:04Are you talking about business
01:08:07Or sex?
01:08:10Both
01:08:10Which is why we're going to keep things
01:08:13Strictly professional, okay?
01:08:15You don't know me
01:08:16I know exactly
01:08:18Who you are
01:08:19Last night you let me see you
01:08:21And now you're trying to hide from me
01:08:23I'm not hiding
01:08:23You've made every
01:08:25Choice
01:08:26Not to be like her
01:08:28And lost yourself
01:08:28In the process
01:08:29Ophelia, can we just
01:08:31She made you believe
01:08:32The only way you could protect yourself
01:08:33Was to be so controlled
01:08:34The last time I saw her
01:08:37My mother looked me in my eyes
01:08:39And told me she saw darkness in me
01:08:42And I know
01:08:44That she is right
01:08:46So yes
01:08:48I am controlled
01:08:50But it's not to protect me
01:08:52Does it look like I need protecting?
01:08:56I am
01:09:09Lying in the dead
01:09:10I
01:09:11Bet you know me
01:09:13I
01:09:13Baby don't fear
01:09:15Come a little closer now
01:09:21Don't touch it to me
01:09:23Do you think that you could find me some of the research money?
01:09:46You know, in good faith.
01:09:47I just have, uh, some people who need to be paid out in this microphone.
01:10:17Knock, knock.
01:10:21Brill?
01:10:22Who else would it be?
01:10:26What are you doing here?
01:10:27What?
01:10:28I can't surprise my girlfriend.
01:10:30You're sweet.
01:10:34Um, look, I've got class in 20 minutes, so I gotta go set up.
01:10:40I'm worried about you, you know, you haven't been answering my texts.
01:10:57Yeah, well, I had a break-in, which was traumatizing.
01:11:00Yeah, I know.
01:11:01I told you I'd help with all that.
01:11:02And though I appreciate you saying that, you didn't help.
01:11:07Actually, I met someone who jumped right in, and she helped me with everything.
01:11:12And it turns out the elixir might be marketable after all.
01:11:18That's, uh, that's amazing.
01:11:20That's amazing.
01:11:21Um, I mean, if it's real.
01:11:23What do you mean?
01:11:25Just that I had some of the best minds in the business take a look at this, and they said that it would work.
01:11:30Did you, Brill?
01:11:31Because I'm not quite sure about your follow-through.
01:11:33Whoa, don't.
01:11:34I'm just trying to protect you.
01:11:36I just hope you looked into it and made sure she's legit.
01:11:39Of course I did.
01:11:40She's extremely legit.
01:11:42Not as naive as you think I am.
01:11:47Um, we're gonna talk about this later.
01:11:50Actually, Brill, there's nothing more to discuss.
01:11:54Huh?
01:11:57I'm breaking up with you.
01:12:00I deserve more.
01:12:04We're not done talking about this.
01:12:09Obviously, I felt it was imperative to launch a full investigation into the accusations, and unfortunately...
01:12:16Brill!
01:12:17Okay, I'm here. What's the emergency?
01:12:18Thank you for finally joining us.
01:12:20What?
01:12:21What exactly is the nature of your business with Sarah Borg?
01:12:24What?
01:12:25It has come to my attention that Brill has conducted several undisclosed meetings with Sarah Borg.
01:12:30Well, you asked me to speak to her.
01:12:32Investigate her.
01:12:33Not conspire to leave Synergeddon and become the COO of Gentler Minds.
01:12:37Whoa, what is this?
01:12:38What are you talking about?
01:12:41I plan on leaving the company, but I'm bringing the elixir with me.
01:12:45So, simply name me your new COO, and together, let's change the world.
01:12:51What?
01:12:52What?
01:12:53That's illegal.
01:12:54I'll sue this shit at you.
01:12:55Legally, you have no recourse.
01:12:56What are you talking about?
01:12:57This is my company.
01:12:58Is it?
01:12:59Because I think we're all a little unclear on exactly what it is you bring in terms of value.
01:13:05Brill and I both signed non-compete non-disclosures and other trade secret documents.
01:13:10Breach immediately causes forfeiture.
01:13:12Please see the documents I emailed you earlier.
01:13:16You have selfishly and carelessly put us all in jeopardy.
01:13:20So, with all due respect, I am the CEO and I will do whatever the fuck I want.
01:13:26I move to remove Brill Cooper from Synergeddon effective immediately.
01:13:29Oh, come on.
01:13:30I second it.
01:13:32All those in favor.
01:13:36Congratulations.
01:13:39You're the sole captain on a sinking ship.
01:13:42You know what?
01:13:43I do have a deal over at Gentler Mines.
01:13:45The product that I'm bringing to market, it's gonna change the world.
01:13:50We'll see.
01:13:53I think that wraps up today's meeting.
01:13:55Thank you for joining.
01:13:58So, that's it?
01:14:01What about us?
01:14:03I think both partnerships have run their course.
01:14:08Where's Quan?
01:14:09How would I know?
01:14:12We're out of here.
01:14:13We'll be back later.

01:14:39I need the room.

01:14:44Out, out, out, out, out.
01:14:45I need the room.

01:19:04I told you not to take it.
01:19:07I told you not to take that much.
01:19:23So by now you should know that it's over between us.
01:19:26But what you might not realize is, you've been played.
01:19:30I knew everything you were doing even before you did.
01:19:34And I've always been one step ahead of you.
01:19:37How was your tummy ache from the grapefruit Quan and I put in your elixir?
01:19:40Bet that was embarrassing.
01:19:42It made it hard to replicate.
01:19:44Speaking of Quan, where is he?
01:19:48God help me, Bril, if you hurt him.
01:20:00What's wrong? Are you okay?
01:20:01We need to talk. I have a lot to tell you. My brother is-
01:20:03I broke it off with him.
01:20:04The guy I was seeing.
01:20:05I know this is fast, but I know what I'm feeling.
01:20:08I haven't told you who I really am.
01:20:10My real name is Anna Kent.
01:20:12I'm Bril Cooper's wife.
01:20:14What?
01:20:15I discovered he was cheating on me.
01:20:17With you.
01:20:18And that he was plotting to take me down and destroy my company.
01:20:23So I wanted to get revenge.
01:20:25I was going to ruin him and seduce you.
01:20:28Partly because I wanted to.
01:20:29Partly to get information from you.
01:20:31But mostly because I wanted to fuck with the man who was fucking with me.
01:20:35His plan was to steal the elixir, your elixir, and bring it to a rival company.
01:20:41But using what you told me, I contaminated it and ruined his plan.
01:20:45The elixir is yours. He can't take it from you again.
01:20:47My head is spinning.
01:20:49I ruined him.
01:20:51Everything went according to plan, except for we're in danger.
01:20:55You expect me to just believe you?
01:20:57The only lie I told you is that my last name is Clark.
01:21:01You know me, Ophelia. You see the real me.
01:21:04This is who I am.
01:21:08I don't know what to say.
01:21:09I think Brill may have killed my brother.
01:21:12Oh my God.
01:21:13Okay, we have to get out of here.
01:21:15Well, well, well.
01:21:17Isn't this a pretty little picture?
01:21:20Don't let me interrupt a little tender moment like this.
01:21:23Brill, you need to calm down.
01:21:25Shh.
01:21:28Shut the fuck up.
01:21:29You know where I just came from?
01:21:34Sarah's office.
01:21:36Productive meeting?
01:21:38She's dead.
01:21:39What?
01:21:40She's dead because she took the elixir that you just admitted to contaminating with grapefruit.
01:21:44Oh my God, the interaction just makes you sick, not kill you.
01:21:48Sick enough to choke on your own vomit.
01:21:52So before I drag you to the police...
01:21:54You want to go to the police?
01:21:56Let's go.
01:21:57Maybe they can help us find Quan.
01:22:01You're insane.
01:22:02Where is he, Brill?
01:22:04Maybe he moved out.
01:22:07You still don't get it, do you?
01:22:09I trusted you.
01:22:11I gave you everything.
01:22:12This entire persona, I invented it.
01:22:15This thing that you think you are, I gave it to you.
01:22:19I made you.
01:22:21And now, I've destroyed you.
01:22:24No.
01:22:25You've destroyed you.
01:22:27Real!
01:22:29Real, don't breathe off!
01:22:53Tune to your girlfriend.
01:22:54Private life!
01:22:56No!
01:22:58No!
01:22:59No!
01:23:26Corporate theft, backstabbing, double crosses and murder.
01:23:35All that and more on today's episode of Trend and Transcend.
01:23:39Welcome back, Synergetton's co-founder Anna Kent and her new business partner, Ophelia Stone.
01:23:45It's a pleasure to be here.
01:23:47We have much to discuss.
01:23:48I think it's safe to say this episode is going to run long.
01:23:51I'd like to start with your ex-husband and former business partner, the late Brill Cooper.
01:23:55What else is there to say?
01:23:57He went crazy and killed everyone, including my brother Quan.
01:24:02I am so sorry for your loss.
01:24:05So how did you two first link up? Was it before or after the Brill debacle?
01:24:10You want to take this one?
01:24:12I was in the Peace Corps.
01:24:14Okay, that far back.
01:24:15In a Peruvian village plagued by war, Amauta, an elder, entrusted me with the recipe for an elixir.
01:24:22Oh yes, the famous elixir. We are dying to know how this works.
01:24:27It all starts with three little drops.
01:24:29It sounds like an awful lot of trouble for three little drops.
01:24:32Three little drops for a chance to experience absolute bliss.
01:24:37With that, we are dying to know how this works, the question comes from the end.
01:24:38And that, and this is what we are doing for theτούel.
01:24:39That is what we can recognize our children, and have heard that.
01:24:40It is very, very nice to know how this works.
01:24:41But it is so Look at your point, and it is all about your old people.
01:24:42Where the bell and the bell and the bell, it is all about your eyes,
01:24:46and the bell can always lose your eyes.
01:24:47And the bell can always be found.
01:24:48And the bell can always be found on the bell.
01:24:49And the bell and the bell can always be found.
