Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I live in Beverly Hills, Michigan.

I actually went to a shrine. Of course you did. Okay, that's Kristen's high school for people who don't know.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Yes. So it takes place at Central Michigan University. It was New Year's Eve 2008. I was up there after Christmas to go back to work. My roommate, Mary, was up there with me and my neighbor, our friend Kelly, was also there. And Kelly at the time was dating this fraternity guy. They're actually now married, but the fraternity was having a New Year's Eve party.

Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So the three of us decide that we're going to get dressed up and go to this party. As the party's going on, my roommate Mary comes over to us and she's like, hey, there's this guy Brian here. I think you two would really hit it off. He's upstairs in the attic with some friends. You should go up there and say hi. So I grab my friend Kelly and we go up there and they're all smoking in the attic.

And they're smoking out of this six-foot bong. They called it Godzilla. It was filled with champagne, not water. Oh, my God. Very classy.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
We say hi to Brian and he packs the bong for us. We hit it and then we're like, okay, bye. We go back downstairs. As the party goes on, we don't really talk again. Fast forward a month later, I go to a house party that some of these fraternity guys live in. So I noticed Brian's there and he's brought his dog with him.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
And his dog is this big bloodhound Doberman mix named Homer that he's just letting run around the party. And I love dogs. So I'm like going up to the dog, petting it, becoming best friends.

He was not a student anymore at Central. He was a part of that fraternity when he was there, and then he left to go to community college. Brian and I keep kind of making eye contact throughout the evening, but we haven't really talked yet. So as the night goes on, we find ourselves upstairs talking at the top of the steps. We're sitting down And we've been talking for some time.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
His dog is laying on his lap. His head's kind of in my lap as well. And all of a sudden, the dog just kind of looks up at me and gives me this look and gives me this low growl. I've been drinking. I thought this dog and I were best friends at this point. Is this a meet cute story with the dog? That would be such a great twist. So I kind of look at this dog like, what's going on?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
And I give it a little noise. That was a very big mistake. The dog launched up and bites me in the face.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Yeah, I immediately just throw my hands up to my face. And I use my right hand to kind of prop myself up off against the wall to stand up and go to the bathroom. And Brian has thrown the dog off of him and follows me into the bathroom as well. It's probably 2.30 in the morning or so. And the three guys that all lived upstairs, they all come out because they've heard the commotion.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So they're all just staring at me in the bathroom while I'm just bleeding over the sink.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Right in my upper lip. Thankfully, it did not puncture through. I probably should have gone to the hospital. I think probably to get like a tetanus shot. I'm a college kid. I'm not going to go to the doctor. So Brian hands me like a wad of toilet paper, put some pressure on it. I just look at him. I'm like, I need to go home. Thankfully, one of the guys that lived on the main floor, he sees us.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
And he hands me a T-shirt to put better pressure on the wound as I'm walking home. Did he take it off his body? No. I mean, it could have been a dirty shirt from his room, but it was better than toilet paper.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So now it's Brian, myself, and this dog walking back to my apartment. So we get home. I show him where the first aid kit is. So he starts cleaning it up, seeing what's happening. That's when we find out it's not that deep. We should be okay. But my lip is starting to swell at this point. The bleeding has stopped. So we're just kind of putting some ice on it. And then we go to bed.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So I let him stay the night. Oh. Oh, my God. Good job. He does try to give me like a little kiss goodnight. My lip's a little swollen. I can't really kiss.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
We wake up in the morning when we go downstairs and the dog's just hanging out with my roommate, acting like he's just a great little boy. And Brian takes the dog and leaves. He doesn't ask for my number. I don't ask for his number. I think we were both kind of embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
question maybe seven oh wow okay probably about a week goes by and he facebook messages me so then we start talking we exchange numbers and we start dating pretty soon after that so we've been together since then we've been together for 16 years we've been married for seven and a half wow
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Maybe one more year. And then he tried to bite me a couple more times. Jesus Christ. He was jealous.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
One of the best parts, besides obviously meeting Brian, was when I stood up after getting bitten, I used my hand to kind of push up against the wall. Well, I left this bloody handprint at this house. I didn't clean it off. They never cleaned it off. So it was there for the rest of the semester. So I would show people the scene of the crime.

Hey, Alex.

Strategic Business Advice That Applies To Every Business | Ep 840
My name is Heather. I own a consulting firm called Channel Maven. We help large IT companies sell better through and with their partners. Revenue was $3.6 million. I sold it in 2021. Congrats. Thanks. Ran marketing for the company that acquired us. They called it an aqua hire. And convinced the board six months ago that I was done and they should give me the name back. So got the name, got the IP.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Strategic Business Advice That Applies To Every Business | Ep 840
I get to start over, not make the mistakes I made before. Cool. The market has shrunk. So that channel role is being pushed out. And when I started it, there were five consulting companies I competed with. Now there are probably 200. Do I focus more, like channel marketing is probably what I'm best known for. Do I focus more on that in this industry or do I go just

B2B and help kitchen and bath companies sell through dealers or automotive.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Strategic Business Advice That Applies To Every Business | Ep 840
Yeah. So a large IT company sells direct, but they also sell through hundreds of thousands of mom and pop channel partners or Accenture or now marketplaces.
The Game with Alex Hormozi

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, I just feel like my champions, the 14,000 people that follow me on LinkedIn are starting to phase out a bit and it's just gotten super crowded.

My clients are the tech companies. So HP, Google. Yeah.

They're all calling me asking if I know of jobs and I'm tracking how long they're on the market. And on average, it's about 11 months.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Strategic Business Advice That Applies To Every Business | Ep 840
They call it a channel chief. So it's like chief partner officer.
The Game with Alex Hormozi
Strategic Business Advice That Applies To Every Business | Ep 840
Yeah, because they're all getting let go. So then the VP of channel sales reports to the CSO, the VP of channel marketing reports to the CMO. Like that level is just getting...

In the last year, because I was still in the channel when the company acquired us, I'd say probably 40 people.

Stop Doubting Yourself: 5 Tips to Boost Your Confidence
Hey Mel, it's Heather. I'm curious if you would consider doing a podcast on confidence and actionable steps to gain confidence. For instance, in the workplace when your role has expanded and currently are doing big things, but do not always feel confident or in line with the idea that you want and deserve to be there in that role. Love your podcast more than you'll ever know. Thank you.

Amy Griffin Confronts Her Darkest Secret in “The Tell”
Hi, Amy. My name is Heather. And thank you for sharing your story and being so vulnerable. As a mom, I have three daughters, and they're actually the same age as that you were when you went through this, 17, 15, and 12. And I'm raising them in the South, in a suburb. And so I saw a lot of terrifying parallels in your story.

The expectation of perfection, how you should behave in society, Southern bells, all of those things. So- My question to you is to shift those perspectives, it has to start with our young men as well. How has your story impacted your sons? And have you shared your story with your youngest son yet?
