Kay:
Well, hello there and welcome to the very first segment of the Kay & Shi Show.
Shi:
It’s pretty exciting for us. We’ve had a podcast for oh five years now, but it’s been in all kinds of different forms. So, whether you’re from the old school Life Slices day or the Millennial Mentorship days, or even most recently, the Mentorship Quest, we’re so glad you’re here with us today whether it’s your first listen or you’re 20,000th.
Kay:
Now we just decided to finally call the podcast what is it, which is the Kay & Shi Show and we’re so glad to be here. We are sisters Kay and Shi and here on this show, what you can expect is four short episodes that come at you Monday through Thursday with a combined longer episode released on Fridays to give you more of a variety show feel.
Shi:
If you’ve been a long-time listener, you know that the first iterations of the podcast were in the longer form, but the fun part about the Mentorship Quest, the podcast we just had 500 episodes of was that it was five minutes, five minutes every day and so many of our listeners said, that’s what they loved about it. But we also had people who said I missed the long format. So, we hope to give you both here with short bite-size, Monday through Thursday episodes, like Kay mentioned, and you can also go for the variety show-esque combo platter on Friday if you’d rather hear them all at once.
Kay:
Now, each week, we will take a topic or a question and we’ll tackle it from a few different angles in those bite-size chunks and then have that Friday wrap up for all of you with those four episodes into that one longer bit and we’re so excited. So, here we are on the very first episode and here in this first week, we’re just going to focus a little bit on who we are and what the heck even is this whole Kay & Shi Show.
Shi:
Yep. It’s introduction week here on the Kay & Shi Show and we’re excited to just share with you a little bit about who we are, you already heard our first factoid, which is that we are in fact, real-life sisters.
Kay:
We’re seven years apart and this is Kay here. I’m the younger one.
Shi:
Yep. And we might be seven years apart, but we like to say we’re twins and spirit, we’re best friends and we are definitely sisters to the core. So, that’s the first thing to know about us.
Kay:
Well, my name may come first in the Kay & Shi lineup. Shila is definitely in charge as the big sis.
Shi:
Well, whether you are joining us as a big sis or a little sis or mister or non-binary, we want to welcome you to the siblinghood. We’re so glad that you’re here and we can’t wait to be your sisters too.
Kay:
Welcome to the family. You’re with us now.
Shi:
No takesies backsies.
Kay:
Well, we are both so very happily married to people who accept our deep sister bond and who now also accept the sibling bond with you, because welcome. Between the two of us. We have five kids. So, Shila is married to Mr. Chad Morris, and I’m married to Danny.
Shi:
Chad and I have been married for at this time 15 and a half years. We have three beautiful children, Wesley and Emerie, who are twins, and Annadelle, who is in second grade, and we are proud of those three. And I am a proud auntie to Kay’s children.
Kay:
We have little Violet and then Thomas, who is currently on the way. But don’t worry. You’ll get to hear the unveiling of all of that as this podcast goes on and we both happily reside in Reno, Nevada. Now our entrepreneurial roots do run deep. When I was 10 and Shi was 17 our parents purchased a failing restaurant and we would spend the next 18 years aka we’ve just got out of it growing in and growing up this family business.
Shi:
We’re still co-owners of that business. It’s called the Squeeze In and we’re co-chairs of the board. If you are a fan of Squeeze In thank you for supporting our breakfast and lunch business, it is so fun, and we love it just as much as you do. And our 18 years in the restaurant industry have definitely given us a heart for hospitality and hospitality and service will always be part of our DNA.
Kay:
We now have a myriad of other businesses and partnerships that we’re involved in, but most of them center around personal growth and development. All of them focus on education delivery and curriculum development, which is one of the reasons that we love doing podcasting.
Shi:
And we love being partners with Joseph McClendon III in the Neuroencoding Institute, our biggest project to date and one that we’re very proud to be part of. Now, another thing to know about us is that we are alcohol-free and vegetarian too and we are on the path to more whole food plant-based living, more holistic, spiritual, deep connected living, and we love to embrace that always questing for more health and wealth.
Kay:
Now don’t let alcohol-free and vegetarian make you think that we’re not any fun because we are definitely still. We love to play. We love to get nerdy. We love Disney, sci-fi puzzles, reading. We love getting woo-woo telling jokes, attending conferences, traveling, hiking, musicals and we’re really obsessed with “Hamilton.”
Shi:
We’re obsessed with “Hamilton.”
Kay:
“Hamilton.” No problem.
Shi:
Kay’s literally wearing a Hamilton scarf right now.
Kay:
That is the truth. That is a fact. That is happening right now. Well, we love to have fun with each other, and we can’t wait to have fun with you too. Welcome to the siblinghood.
Shi:
Yeah, that’s enough about us. We’re so glad that you’re here and we can’t wait to join you again really soon.
