Success in “The City” to Cow Tipping Lessons? Crazy fun interview with Krystle begins with her move at 20yo to NYC from Trinidad. A single child, from a small town and island, away from her home, family and friends for the first time… and up for a challenge. How did she make it in “The City that Never Sleeps”? (I’ve been there and it doesn't. Don’t ever get a room street side facing Times Square). Answer: finding people with the same interests. Compartmentalized Friends. Ones to go the movies with. Another group to work out with. Another group to swim in the fountain in Central Park… Yeah. No. That’s not real. Her view of life and words to live by if you want success: “If you wanna go fast, go alone; if you wanna go far, go with others.” Bringing this episode to a close would be advice on “cow tipping” and Krystle offering instructions for using the NYC Subway (now I get it, after 60 years). 2:00 - moved from Trinidad, Tobago at 20 to NYC. First time away from her family, friends and home. 5:20 - compartmentalized friends; big city and best way to meet friends was to find those with similar interests. Friends to go to movies with, friends to go to the gym with, etc… 9:00 - started writing as a way of dealing with tragedy. Writes from the heart and emotion so readers identify with her. 13:00 - “If you wanna go fast, go alone; if you wanna go far, go with others.” 15:00 - Understand fear… do not worry about fear, move around inside of it, and it will drop away. 16:50 - NYC Subway Instructions, now Lee can NOT get lost. 18:45 - Lee offers to show her “cow tipping” Pitch - helps small businesses with Social Media; LinkedIn account set-up; https://www.linkedin.com/in/krystledookoo/ Want to know more about your bowtied host?
