- This is the very predictable opening of the show
where I say how freaking excited I am, oh my god.
You saw it coming.
(chill music)
Hey there, welcome back to Amy TV.
Today is the day (humming).
I am done teasing you on this thing
that I've been talking about forever.
I'm so excited.
I want you to envision something for me.
Imagine it is a Tuesday, a beautiful Tuesday morning.
Could be 5:00 a.m., could be 8:00 a.m.,
it doesn't matter, it's your day.
But you're gonna start it off the way that you want to,
so you grab a nice cup of coffee,
maybe instead a hot lemon water, whatever is your thing,
and you take a seat in a nice chair in your living room
or maybe your home office, to start the day
exactly the way you want to start your day,
and you look down at your phone to start what will be
your Tuesday morning ritual every week
to start the day off right.
(exclaims)
Well it's time for me to share now
what that new amazing ritual is going to be
for every Tuesday going forward.
Before I do, make sure you subscribe to this channel,
I make new videos every Sunday and Wednesday
and along with something to do on Tuesday,
we're about to be best friends, so yeah.
Make sure you're staying tuned.
I'm so excited to share with you today that
that ritual that I have been teasing you about for weeks,
for months, I've even pretty much told you
exactly what it is without telling you exactly what it is
on this channel multiple times,
is my brand new podcast, Detail Therapy.
You know very well that what we talk about around here
is going after the life that you want
and the purpose of this podcast is very similar.
It's just gonna be a little bit different
than how we do things here.
If you're not familiar with the late Jim Rohn,
he was an incredible motivator that used to say,
"We are the average of the five people
"we spend the most time with."
My goal is to surround you with even more people,
like if you and I hang out, that's great,
that's an awesome start, I mean we're mostly positive
in each other's lives, I hope.
I try not to complain, we're not perfect.
But it's usually just you and me on this channel,
I don't often bring other people on these episodes,
and I wanna be able to explore that more
in a medium that makes sense to do it in.
Which is why I was inspired to do a podcast
and a lot of you have been asking me for one
and I thought this is a perfect fit,
this is the best way for us
to sort of expand our relationship in this way.
Getting connected with people who are smarter than you,
have had more experiences than you,
can offer you advice, is a hugely important thing
for making the things happen in your life
that you want to happen
and I love sharing those things as they apply to me,
but I haven't experienced everything.
I haven't done everything, I can't offer you everything,
but I want to be that connector for you
to meet more people like that, all different walks of life.
Men, women, successes in big ways,
successes in ways that we may not even know about.
So that is the inspiration behind this show
and now you're probably wondering
what was the inspiration behind the name.
Well first, I'm just gonna be completely honest,
it didn't make sense to me to self name the show.
'Cause I thought, that'd be a little confusing, right,
if it's like the Amy Podcast and the Amy TV.
That's just a lot of Amy and this isn't about me,
this is about you, this is about the people,
and so I just felt like that wasn't appropriate.
So basically, I was in Vegas with my husband,
Vincenzo gets a major shout out, he came up with the name.
Details are really important to me,
but I was thinking more about the details of time.
I wanted to talk to people about how they spend their time,
what they do in the morning,
and all the other intricate details around that.
But the word, time, isn't that sexy,
so I didn't get anywhere with that,
but details was interesting to me.
Inspired by my best friend, Sarah,
who will be featured on the podcast,
which is gonna be hilarious, quite frankly.
I thought it would be fun to come up with a pun,
and so I basically just said to Vin, I was like,
"How could I pun the word detail?"
And he was like, "Retail Therapy, Detail Therapy."
And I was like...
Oh my god that is so me, that is so me!
I mean, even if it's not the perfect name, I'm sold.
I'm just like so pumped about it.
But let me break it down,
I feel like there was a really good explanation
not just serendipitously why I chose that name,
but I think it works because of the two words in the name.
Detail, basically I love the details, I just said that.
It's not just about time,
it's what did you eat for breakfast?
What's your morning routine?
How do you workout?
How do you keep your energy levels up?
What are the tricks of the trade?
Tell me everything.
If you don't drink lemon water in the morning
like me, what do you drink?
That kind of stuff is interesting
because I think there's something that works for everyone,
and there might be something that someone else does
that would be good for you.
And so that's where the heart of that word
is really important to the show,
and the biggest part, probably, of the show.
The interesting thing about the therapy part is
I was excited about the name but I wasn't sold on it
until I was doing these interviews.
These first interviews that you've kind of
seen me sample here, I did four in LA,
I've done a number of them since then as well.
The more I started talking to people
without even trying to lean into that name,
the more the actual podcasts were kind of therapeutic.
Whether somebody was talking about
some deep stuff in their life
and emotions that they deal with,
or experiences that they had gone through
that were not the best thing ever,
or whatever the case may be.
It was really a therapy session, quite often,
when I was sitting down to do these podcasts,
and I think there's a little bit of a dynamic there
with both the people trusting me
who are interviewing them to ask them questions,
but they would also ask me questions back,
and I think that that's what made
that dynamic really interesting.
And I also didn't want this to be super surface level.
I don't just want details,
I don't wanna just rattle off a bunch of questions
and check the boxes.
I wanna ask the why's and the mentality around it
and the reasons of why somebody would do the things
that they do and why they got to the success that they did
because of those things that they do.
So the name has just really come together
and I hope that you like it.
Again, because it just has continued to make
more and more and more sense
every time I sit down with somebody to interview for you.
I'm, yeah, really pumped about that.
I wasn't expecting to love the name,
I just really needed to pick something that wasn't mine.
Like I said, you've already seen a couple of samplings
of the podcast interviews, just four or five minutes
of interviews that I've done.
You saw Leah Pipes, I sat down in her home in LA
and it was just so sweet to be able
to talk to her about everything she goes through
as an actress in Hollywood.
I also sat down with Matthew Santoro, which you saw,
and he shared a lot about his experience in drama
and things that have happened in his life
and how he has shifted his mindset.
That five minutes on YouTube was great,
but the interview is even better,
so I can't wait for you to hear that.
I will be sharing a couple more samples here,
but for the most part, these interviews are going to live
on the podcast, as they should,
and I'm gonna eventually stop
going on and on and on and on about it here.
I'll probably talk about it every once in a while,
but you're gonna have to go and subscribe to the podcast
if you want to hear what I'm up to on that side.
And I mean, like that's the whole point,
I'm trying to allow us to be able to hang out more often,
not just Sunday and Wednesdays for a YouTube video,
but now Tuesdays for the podcast.
So you should really go and check it out.
Just saying, just saying.
I'm not excited for no reason over here, okay.
Today is the official launch day of Detail Therapy.
I've been teasing it, some of you found the podcast
before it was technically live (laughs)
which is hilarious, and so people were already following
the official Instagram and tweeting about it,
and I was sort of like...
(humming)
But today's the official launch day,
the first interview is with Leah,
so I know a lot of you are anticipating that interview,
it is ready to go, the whole thing, right now,
in the Detail Therapy podcast.
But from now on, like I said,
every episode is gonna come out on Tuesday mornings.
So no matter what time you wake up,
you can be an early bird like me, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 a.m.,
or maybe not, and you're like,
girl, slow down, I'll listen when I wake up actually,
and that's fine.
The podcast will be available for you on Tuesday morning,
super early, ready to go, just press play.
The best way to stay tuned is of course to subscribe.
It doesn't matter where you like to listen to podcasts.
You could have a particular app that you love,
it's completely up to you where you wanna listen,
but I highly, highly, highly,
highly recommend you subscribe.
I don't want you to miss an episode
and it really helps me know that what we're doing
is on the right track if you are subscribed.
It makes sure you get the episodes,
but it's also an indication of,
Amy, you're on the right track.
Let's go, more interviews, let's go, let's go!
So while we're talking about that,
I wanna quickly show you how to subscribe.
(chuckles)
Because I just like looking at my logo
over and over so, you know.
Like I said, it doesn't matter
which app you're going to use,
you're gonna do pretty much the same thing for all of them.
You can click the link in the description below,
or you can go to your podcast app
and you can go to the search bar
and search for Detail Therapy.
And you will see this beautiful purpley-pink logo!
Ah, gorgeous.
And you will just tap the subscribe button
and it's that simple.
So now your app will populate those episodes
when they are brand new for you,
and if you would like some bonus points,
you're welcome to leave a review,
but as long as you're subscribed,
that is the big thing for me so thank you
so, so, so, so, so, so much for doing that in advance,
you don't know how much I appreciate that
and so I want you to know.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I could talk about this podcast all day long,
but you have better things to do,
promise you have better things to do.
Like go and listen to the podcast.
And also, other things to go after the life that you want.
But before you go, I do have one request.
If you wouldn't mind, in the comments below,
I would love to hear of someone who you think
I should sit down with, I need a name,
you can tag a social profile, it doesn't matter,
and they don't have to be some famous person
or some high-level whatever.
Like if that's somebody you wanna hear from, cool.
But if it's somebody else who's just doing
big things in their own way,
I wanna talk to them about the details of their success.
So I want you to recommend someone to me
in the comments below, I will be watching for this.
I need to know who my next interviews are.
You know I like to batch, I like to get things done,
I gotta schedule them, go fly out there, get it done.
Like, let's plan together.
I wanna talk to who you want me to talk to.
Finally, thank you so much for the support
and the advocacy of me doing these things for you,
because I wouldn't be starting new projects
and doing new things if it wasn't something
that you've asked of me and that you trust me
with your time and the ability
to get the information out there that you want.
So, thank you so much, truly.
Whether you subscribe or not,
the fact that you are watching this video
and that you come back and that you are in it with me,
I just, I greatly appreciate that, so thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
That's all for today, thank you so much for tuning in,
I appreciate it, as always.
Make sure you subscribe for good vibes
and remember to continue to go after the life that you want.
(cool music)
Cheers.
