• 2:32
  Speaker 1: with seven seasons. I'm the new host, So we do
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: as we go into people's homes. People were very deserving.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It's always like a backstory there that we share, uh
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: now with me being the host and I going in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: with the designer and a carpenter and we make over
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a room for them, surprising them. And I also get
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen kitchen with them and show them how
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to cook um some recipes and hosts and recipes for
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: their family. So it's been a lot of fun. So
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the show went from half an hour to an hour,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: which gives us more time to actually show some of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the amazing stories of the cast of the people that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: are on the show. Okay, as a fan, as a producer,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: let me tell you what I loved about the show.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: First of all, you know the show have your crime
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in the beginning. You know, they set it up by
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: introducing you to the family, the Worthy family, and you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: know that that approach is really cool because it got
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: me hoo reach on eight episodes. Well, I guess what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you lugged me, you got you got me hooked. You know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you meet the family. I met the family young lady
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: with the cold castle. Uh that the made the patio
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: where her husband was dead when they had all the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: all the set up all those years they've been married
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: forty nine years, you know, he had died. In saw
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that show. I saw the show where you know they
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: had the kids and it was homeschool and they had
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: one bathroom and you know, the kitchen table and everything.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It was the same. I meant the making bits, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I saw that show, the baking bits, and each one
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of these episodes I enjoyed it because I was engaged
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: with the whole process. And one of another reason I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the show, Laylor, was the fact that your your designers,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I know, Jonathan's I think is consistently on the show,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: but your designers were different, and again I thought a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: good point of view changed for you and I wasn't
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: looking at the same people all the time. You think
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that's you think that's a key to to to to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the show as well. Yeah, I definitely think it's nice
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to switch up the designers because, you know, for the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: viewers or gives them something different. You don't always know
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: exactly what to expect. You have there a few constants
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that you can depend on, but then something changes, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: along with the people whose homes that we're doing. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we have two carpenters, um, Jonathan and James, and you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: so they switched back and forth. But I think it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: nice um to have different designers with different styles as well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and master them with the right family. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: actually happy with what they get me in you know
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: where I thought it was fun because I felt that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you would never you know, I'm not saying you would
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ever get bored, but it was like there was always
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a different level of communication with these different designers, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it kept your energy up, it kept your curiosity up,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and also you can said, you know, I'm sorry, I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: meant to cut you off. Now I'm saying, oh, yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I was just agreeing with you, you you know. For me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Uh well, first of all, it was my first season
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: doing the shows. Every time we went to shoot, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I said, okay with want to be like you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: because all the personalities are different, you know. So yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it makes the show more fun for everybody, I think.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And great. Now there's a couple of things about yourself,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you know in your credit I wanted to talk about
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, being a fan of yours, I've
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: known you many years. You did the Parkers with me
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in the episode when you was boxing, and I've always
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: admired your your your professionalism, for one's always amazing. But
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: when I look at your resume now I was talking
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: about tips or management, managing your time. You know, when
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I see the words wife, I he the mom daughter
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of the greatest fitness expert, cookbook author, host of Homemade Simple.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Can we talk about you know, because this show I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: do money making conversations about getting people tips to the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: secrets of success and giving them their advice. When you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: see a person as diverse and multilayerit as you, how
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: do you accomplish all these things and basically stay safe? Well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for me, um, you know, it really is about putting
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: your priorities in order to hear that a lot because
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of things that I want to do,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and also I also have a podcast, um, which I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: added one more thing was called as you know, a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: lot of work girl, Now you difer, can you get
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: on my show? Can you come on my show late? Now?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You're doing with trying to brook Gath schedule and you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: editing and all this stuff. So then I thought, what
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what have I done? What have I done? Now? Um
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: added one more thing? But I think it really comes
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: down to putting your priority to order. And from me,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it really started with UM. And I've been doing this
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: since I was very young, writing out my goals, my
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: short term goals, my long term goals, and then from
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: there mapping out the plan and how I plan to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: get there. And that gets edited and changed along the way.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And you've got to have a good team of people
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: around because nobody that you see and the public is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: doing it all themselves because it's just simply isn't enough
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: hours in the day. Um, And you got to learn
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: how to delegate, you know. So for me, like I said,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it started with me though, you know, figuring out because
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I have to. You get a lot of offers, you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: get a lot of different opportunities, and I got to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: say yes to everything. You will be all over the place, right,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: all have to choose. The thing is that I'm passionate
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: about right when the going gets tough and when the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: work gets hard, I'm passionate enough about it where I'll
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: be willing to do the hard work that it takes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Because it's not easy, you know, it never is. Those
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: no days every easy. Every day I wake up, it's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: kind of like, oh God, how am I gonna get
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: everything done? You know? And I usually don't move on
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to the next day. That's just a story of my life.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, like I said, just knowing
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: what I want to be passionate about, you know, what
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: my goals are, and checking in with that list, you
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: know from time to time because you know, sometimes you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: there can be confusion and you could be on clean
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and you gotta cut more things out or at night
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: things and you know, And that's how that's how I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: stayed balance. Now let me ask you this. Now you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: had to where did your podcast? What exactly is your podcast?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: We kind of brushed through that real quick. So and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: what what what platform is at all? Is it? What
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: my podcast is called Laylor Ali Lifestyle. It's on Podcasts
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: one and it's it's also available on iTunes. But pretty
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: much I'm talking about my like health, wellness, parenting, you know.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's it's a holistic wellness, you know, trying to just
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: be um, the best that you could possibly be. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: it's very broad, you know. So I have a lot
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of just informational and inspirational conversations um. And so what
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I say is, I'm on my quest to be the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: best that I can be. So I'm taking my listeners
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: along with me, so I never come off to be
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'm an expert. I know everything, you know, I'm learning
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: along the day. I know a lot more about certain
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: things in the average persons. But you know, it's just
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a place for people to come and share and grow
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, be inspired. And that's important. And when
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you when you say those things about you because you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: have to have information. The thing I liked about this
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: whole because you have a book coming out of a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: cookbook coming out in January. And then the show, this
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: show used to be a half hour and naming your
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: cookbook is Food for Life. That is that when they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: added the hour, was it part of the plan to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: bring your cooking in and then I'm gonna trying I'm
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get to with that part of the plan.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They have the book come out in January, because you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: know you're a planner. I've about you. You know your planner.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You you'll just running bout accident. Later, you got an
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: accidental person now explaining people how you put that together.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And then when we come back from break, we're gonna
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: talk about the actual book. But I know you're you're
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a strategist, You're a life strategists. Explain people how that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: worked out. Well, I'm a strategist and my business partner
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Ambermobile Girl, and this strategy. So what happened is I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: had already been working on this book for a while.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: There you go, um playing It was already slated to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: come out in January, and I took I took a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: step back the At one time, I was hosting, like
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: for different shows, and I was like, you know, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: really cannot do the things that I want to do
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that I'm passionate about, like a book, while I'm posting
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: all these shows. So I cut back on the TV
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: for about eleven months focus on getting my book done.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And then when I was done. I looked at and said,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: oh God, like I need a platform, Like I'm not
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: really you know, how am I gonna sell this book?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I need to get back on TV. And
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I just had a conversation with myself and with God,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Man, bring me an opportunity. It's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so crazy. A few days later, I get you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Amber called me and says, you know that I got
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: called a call about I possibly doing this show, which
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I wasn't that familiar with, and they actually on season
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: on the prior seasons. Even though the thirty minute show
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they had some cooking, it wasn't always consistent. I don't
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: think with everything look show, I'm not sure about that,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: but they had different chefs come in. It didn't really fit,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you know, they kind of pop out of nowhere. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: when they called me to do the show, they weren't
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: even aware that I had a Crystal So when I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was able to tell them, you know, they already thought
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I would be the perfect host with them, and at
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: being able to tell them she actually cooks and she
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: actually has a cookbook, they were like what wow, And
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: then of course they gave us the opportunity, which was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: amazing because it's not always that easy to get network
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to let you promote your own personal stuff. May actually
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: we're willing and appreciative about you know, to to um,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry and say they were actually appreciative that I
• 11:33

• 12:45
  Speaker 1: because so tell us about you know, because I've seen
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you cook on the show, and uh, the thing I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like about is that you've seem like a natural, seem
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like you're not stumbling around in the kitchen. You know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: some people can just get out, you know. So you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: see some of these shows go you know, you're just
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: doing this show because they get the job. You gotto.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You can cook. Now, you straight out cook because you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: know you do. You know, you throw some salt in there,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: throw you know you you wanted. People don't manage everything.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: You just know by Field, that's a cook, you know that, right. Yes, Well,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the thing is I've been cooking since about nine. Yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you get kind of comfortable in the kitchen, you know
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: when you've been cooking for that many years. So yes, definitely,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that's why I was able to go on Seating Network,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: on Chopped and win a couple of times and all
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that because trust me, with the pressure that's on you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: when you're cooking, and the cooking competition two times, how
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the cook don't don't, don't, don't don't. Let's blow past
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that so quick. You're a celebrity champ twice, okay? And
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I know by the own competition that's not an easy
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: show to win, you know what I'm saying, because they
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: put a lot of impromptu things, and they also asked
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you to get out of your comfort zone on certain
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: certain certain episodes of cooking things like that you have
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to and you pulled it off twice and that and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I only out of your comfort zone because you don't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: know what you're rest with, your ingredients are, and you're
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: not in your own kitchen. And then there's only a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: certain amount of certain items, so you might have something
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: all planned out and then somebody else took something your
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: need and you know you gotta do it. You start
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: over that alone. It's it's very mental. A lot of people.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: You gotta be mentally strong, can't. You can't just know
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: how to cook because all kinds of sort of things happen.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You know that'll throw you off, but it was a
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. But yeah, I've been cooking for for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a long time. And the thing is that my cooking
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: has changed over the years. And I think just being
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: an athlete, being a mom and knowing what I know
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: about nutrition, Um, I try to take the foods that
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I love and other people love and make them healthier. Um.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: So it's not always you know, truck me. It's easy.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: It's easy to just cook with a bunch of butter
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of just putting whatever you want the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: food and make it taste of it, you know. So
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you know you gotta compare well, you know, because you bake.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: But that's different. My blood pressure king right here? Girl,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Oh lord, you know the thing is I don't bake.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That's one thing because baking, as you know, it's a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: real science to it and you gotta have your measurements
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: right and that kind of thing. And I taught myself
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: how to cook, so baking, I mean, you could teach
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: yourself how to bake, but it's much easier when you
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have somebody to show you some some basics, some basic
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: like So, yeah, I've never and thank god, I don't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: know how to bake because I love big goods. So
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: if I knew how to bake, boy, I would just
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: be about folven the pounds. Well you know, the brother
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: just tell you. So you know, even like you said,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: like I use non salt butter, Okay, no salt butter.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I used two percent milk, so you know, I tried
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: to put that, but it doesn't even change the taste
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of the food, you know what I'm saying. Saying So
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: so when I hear you joke, joke earlier, but I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: also understand what you're saying is that you can bake tradition.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: You can, you know you can. You can. You have
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to ride out that that you know that old You're
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: gonna die when you forty recipes, you know what I'm saying,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that you just piling that greasy
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and putting that lord in that and that and that
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and the rings and all that stuff. So when you
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: say make it a little bit healthier, Like I just
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: gave a couple of examples of two milk, I gave
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of example of no salt butter. What example
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of moving your your recipes to a healthier foremat was
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: still maintaining the goodness of it and food for loaf. Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: what I normally do is it's just there's just some
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: basic items that are just um, things that I would
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: stock to pantry with. So I have healthier oils that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I would cook with. So I'm coconut oil, avocado oil,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: grape seed oil. Um, there's so many different oils that
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you can cook with a high temperature. You can bake
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: with them. You know, coconut oil has a very distinct flavor,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but it does change the flavor of certain things, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: some people would not want it. But depending on what
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you're using for your spices or your seedning, you can
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: cover it up and ask it really well. But just
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: things like that, Um, different flowers, you know, life flower,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: almond flower, coconut flour, you know, Kenois flour, and then
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in those ways that you can mix them where you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: can really um, you know, get the textures that you need.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I add, I do a lot of attitudes like if
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: my kids meals, for example, like I'm making spaghetti, um,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and I if I and I if I have you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of time. I'm not always
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: gonna just make my sauce fresh. But I can get
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: a really good organic sauce, and then I can take
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: vegetables and roast them really quickly, and then I blend
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: them in my blendor and then put them into the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: sauce so that the sauce actually has a lot more
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: fresh vegetables in it. And I'm talking about like zucchini,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you know, you're on your cellery, your garlic, all these
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: things that you know, kids aren't gonna eat a lot of,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: but they meet the nutrition from it. I'll even take
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: ground flax seed and put it in things that I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: do bake and put it in like you can. You
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: can put that in your taco meat. They want it
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to girls undetected, just to have that extra fiber to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: keep us using the bathroom like we need to. So
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: we don't know about that conversation right right. And then
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I just stay away from, you know, if I'm making
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: mac and cheese, even though I know some people like
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to add, you know, a can of cheese, soup or
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: things like that, I try to stay away from, you know,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: adding canned items and things with a lot of preservatives
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in the um. So that's all just kind of bringing
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it back down to the basics and focusing on cooking
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the whole foods. And you know, but like I said,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: even if something as simple as the oils, because a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: lot of times people don't realize the oils will clog up,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: you know, And that's fairy true. And I think that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: when I look at your book, as she's on the cover,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is a beautiful picture. She's wearing white. Food for Life
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is on the top. The book comes out of January three,
• 18:33
