  • I would call it sleeping but I try this is a 24-hour job a newborn is we got a

  • night nurse which is probably the smartest decision I've ever made with my

  • pregnancies I don't know I never did it with Jake and Ben who would have

  • literally changed my life she comes to me with the baby when it's time to eat

  • all that calls me I'd breastfeed him and then she'll burp him change him swaddle

  • him put him to sleep those tasks that take a lot of time I can use that time

  • to actually go and rest a little bit or what I usually do is I'll go pump

  • right after to make sure that I'm draining my breasts because I got a

  • really really really bad infection from breastfeeding with Jake and Ben that's

  • something that I'm very scared of so I'm trying to be attentive to my body okay

  • house and then we're shooting meet the team video which I did a post on

  • Instagram and ask you if you guys want to hear all about it and you guys are

  • very interested there was some really really good question oh look at this

  • bird nest I know that a lot of influencers kind of keep it on the low

  • this whole business of social media and I would always wonder like how does it

  • work where does it start who helps them so I wanted to just show that

  • information to you I kind of don't see a point to keep it all secretive you know

  • I hope we all succeed we all have room PS I this is my first pair of pants can

  • I tell you it was an easy fit no I had to go down in my bed

  • and catch my breath but young master Jake it today got out of going to school

  • love you bye baby run away to the office just little munchkin who broke out wood

  • baby acne I'm sorry so Gary yeah you know what I

  • found yesterday what I found a blog that I used to write my poems in really yeah

  • it was from 2009 I'm gonna read it to you wait and you're gonna tell me how

  • you feel about it it was in a very emotional time in my life how are you

  • yeah guys I'm wearing pins I don't know an invisible area was for you mmm we're

  • going to do our first outfit of the day

  • jess is the best thanks honey

  • good place for the child

  • Wow the world is a scary place with the new board

  • back to work back to the daily grind with this little dude yeah and you

  • forget these stages so bad you're so cute

  • it's weird to see you with a new baby too

  • because like I'm so you see with you like with my bed and yeah running around

  • all the burning questions post if you have any new ones so I posted a post on

  • Instagram and I asked you I mean if you have any questions about living in

  • because I feel like throughout our videos people are like who are all these

  • always common people and why do you need so many employees

  • and what do you actually do we have nothing to hide

  • we want to share it with you why don't you start by chatting about why valera

  • and we started it I started doing YouTube in 2016 and I started in my

  • kitchen just doing recipes and smoothies and taught myself how to edit that was

  • an interesting ride and back then I was supposed to maybe like once a week I

  • really didn't think long term with that I remember my first sponsorship came in

  • from like this probiotic brand and they offered me with $50.00 and yes I didn't

  • understand how it all works because again even like me searching for other

  • youtubers talking about the business you can't find any information especially

  • the business side of it it's just how I think exactly is this secret thing so I

  • did a sponsorship about than $50 I ran to Gary I was like look at my

  • PayPal account about $50 for that he's like OkCupid so when the sponsorships

  • kept coming I was doing everything by myself and I came to Gary and I was like

  • hey look I made X amount of money this month and Gary's like oh okay but people

  • are emailing you there and interest there's something happening

  • here if you look at all these videos they say you have to be consistent you

  • have to put content your to good content and I was like getting so frustrated

  • because I was taking care of the kids and I was also shooting one hour I was

  • editing eight hours because I'm super slow and editing is like so annoying

  • having someone like Garry to be like okay you have to focus on your strengths

  • and your strengths are delivering content and telling a story and you're

  • the storyteller that's how you get to the next level so that's when we decided

  • to get Emma we actually started having a conversation about hiring people when I

  • already had revenue that I could reinvest back in the business I was very

  • lucky that the money that I was making that wasn't the money that needed to

  • support me in my personal life I had the luxury of taking the money that I was

  • making from the business and putting it back and that's when we actually started

  • valera and Gary's like let's start let's incorporate and we'll make it a business

  • I decided okay you know what Valera Inc will be a media company a media company

  • that's basically I'm the media some of me it may be me I am aware as a model I

  • had agents I had agencies throughout the world and they were taking care of all

  • the business side you're sitting and waiting for your agencies to pitch you

  • to brands to do things and I didn't want to be in that situation again and that's

  • kind of what I liked about started getting into YouTube and Instagram

  • because all of a sudden I was kind of you know in charge of my own faith when

  • I started to grow all these MCS and other agencies for influencers started

  • which you have to me and saying hey let's we want to represent you I knew

  • that I didn't want to be in the same place so I'm just sitting and waiting

  • for them to bring opportunities to me so a lot of you guys are asking why do you

  • need all these people there's so many youtubers that are just like a one-man

  • show a lot of them are not you just don't see that aspect of their business

  • a lot of them just don't do the business side

  • they sang with an agency or a multi-channel network that's it they

  • just like create the content and the agencies take care of the rest we really
