[00:01:28] Ellie: Hi friends. Welcome to today's episode of A Day in Her Life podcast today. I am so thrilled for you to be here. I'm excited to be in conversation with Emily King, and I can't wait for you all to hear this conversation.
Hi Emily. Thanks so much for joining me today.
[00:01:42] Emily: Thank you so much for having me on. I've been excited to do this one. I love your podcast.
[00:01:47] Ellie: thank you so much. How's your day going so far?
[00:01:50] Emily: It's good. It's a little stressful because it may not be a typical day, day in her life but it is a big day in my life. We are in the process of moving homes and so there's just a lot hitting at once.
[00:02:07] Ellie: That's a good way to describe that.
[00:02:10] Emily: Yes.
[00:02:11] Ellie: so let's jump right in. Can you tell us a little bit about who you are, what you do, how you fill your time, and what your household looks like?
[00:02:19] Emily: Sure. I am Emily. I am the co-founder and CEO of Faye, FAYE. We connect busy households with local family advisors to help you manage your, the invisible labor of running your personal and home life. I live in Ogden, Utah with my husband Patton, and our daughter Vivian, who is six. She's a first grader, and yeah, that's, that's me.
Anything else I missed?
[00:02:52] Ellie: No, that's perfect. I can't wait to dig in. And I, I am sure I'm gonna ask you how your Faye advisor has been helping you with the move. If, if at all, I'd love to hear that. Just outta curiosity.
[00:03:01] Emily: that. Yeah.
[00:03:03] Ellie: Let's start there. Why not? Let's do it.
[00:03:05] Emily: Yeah, it's, it's interesting. I always like to say that having a Faye advisor can feel a bit like an, an insurance policy. Throughout the year. Our lives are, we have these, you know, episodic moments where stress can be higher than other times. And while there's like a set good list of everyday tasks that Katie, my family advisor takes on for us, you realize at these moments of like extreme stress through various life events, that just having this person who knows a lot about your family, understands your personality, has your back, has all of the historical context, how useful that can be in moments like this.
And so, I mean, just yesterday I was on the phone with her, like tangibly stressed out about some things that had had happened. Our realtor had come over and given us suggestions of like different things we should do with our current house to make it more valuable to potential buyers. And they were all sort of like hard labor intensive suggestions, which we agreed with, but also are in a time crunch and trying to figure out how to actually complete them.
And so I was talking to Katie shortly after that and I was, she, she was just listening to me kind of like dump these things on her. And one she jumped in and said Hey, let me figure out the mover situation for you. I don't think you need actual movers, but we can rent a U-Haul. You're only moving a mile away. I think it's only 20 bucks a day to get it and an hourly rate for mileage. So let me call and figure out all the details there and what we can do, make sure it's open on Sunday when you can pick up, drop off, et cetera. So one that was just like a nice thing to get off my plate. But then also because she's intuitive and has a family of her own, she was like, also, you're supposed to be moving on Easter.
Do you have a plan? Do you wanna do anything for Vivian for an Easter basket? And I was like, oh yes. And can you run point on that? She's yes. So this morning she is sent me this adorable idea of what we can do and she's gonna order all the things and put it together and deliver it to my house.
And in that same vein, when she said that, it made me realize. That I'm also supposed to pull together like party favors for a birthday celebration for Vivian at school. So her birthday's over the summer and the teacher just let us know that they celebrate on birthdays for kids who have summer birthdays in May.
And so this was just like another thing that I have to pull together. And of course my child is mom, I don't wanna just give candy. I wanna think of something super cute. And so Katie found these like adorable little ceramic ice cream cones that kids can paint. Anyway, she is ordered those.
She's gonna go get bags, she's going to put them together, they're gonna be delivered to my house. And it is, it's just those kind of things that we have to do as parents that really add up to the stress and having, I. An advisor there to support you especially in like stressful times is just so helpful.
[00:06:38] Ellie: That's awesome. Those are some great examples and how kind of them to let you know that they're doing this birthday
[00:06:44] Emily: Oh, I know. I mean, it's the email, right? It's like the email that you get, like we are celebrating the UN birthdays. I'm like, oh, great. Yet, yet another thing. Yeah.
[00:06:54] Ellie: So Emily, we've been doing some rapid fires and let's, let's do those and then we'll jump into your days. So, coffee or tea.
[00:07:03] Emily: 1000% coffee. I worked for Blue Bottle Coffee for four years and I'm a bit of a coffee nerd. So hands down. Coffee, coffee, coffee.
[00:07:12] Ellie: Love it. Reading or watching tv.
[00:07:15] Emily: I'm an English major, so the right answer is not what I'm gonna say, but I love TV these days.
[00:07:24] Ellie: What have you been watching? Anything good?
[00:07:27] Emily: Well, of course I watched every episode, episode of the White Lotus and we might talk about this later, but part of my bedtime routine is to fall asleep watching Monte. Don, do you know Monte Don?
[00:07:38] Ellie: Hmm. No.
[00:07:40] Emily: He is a British gardener who travels around Europe and visits different gardens, and it is amazing. It will put you to sleep in five minutes
[00:07:53] Ellie: I love that. Never seen that. I'll have to add it to the list. Beach or mountains.
[00:07:59] Emily: mountains. I live in the mountains, so I have to say that.
[00:08:02] Ellie: Sweet or savory,
[00:08:04] Emily: Savory
[00:08:06] Ellie: chocolate or vanilla.
[00:08:10] Emily: swirl.
[00:08:11] Ellie: Oh, good call. That's what I usually get anyways.
[00:08:14] Emily: Yeah.
[00:08:15] Ellie: And then describe your days in three words. Like first three words that come to mind.
[00:08:20] Emily: Busy. Energizing and fun.
[00:08:26] Ellie: Awesome. So let's jump right in. Let's, let's talk about what your days look like. So starting with your mornings, what time do you wake up? Do you have a morning routine? What does that look like? And let's kind of go up until getting Vivian out the door for school. And then we can also, if you keep going, great.
If not, I'll keep
[00:08:45] Emily: Okay. Okay, great. Yeah, so I don't typically set an alarm. We naturally wake up around six in the morning. This morning, again, given it's a typicalness, I, I did set an alarm at five 30, which I haven't done in a long time. And it terrified both of us 'cause we're not used to, to hearing an alarm. But yeah, normally just wake up naturally at six.
My husband and I will lie in bed for, I don't know, about 30 minutes and just talk about the day ahead. It's like a nice. Start to the day. And then Vivian, my daughter, she does set an alarm. She's really into her alarm clock. We bought her this like cool rainbow alarm clock that also has a very loud buzzer, but she seems to think it's great and she turns it off and runs downstairs and hops in our bed at six 30 and we hang out with her for about 15 minutes.
Such a special time in the morning. It's like my favorite part of the day. And then we get up, make our way upstairs. My husband runs point on putting together Vivian's breakfast and lunch. She packs a lunch most days, and I take on coffee duty, which again, in a, in a household from which one of the two of us has spent a lot of time in coffee and caring about coffee and selling coffee.
Our morning coffee ritual is probably more extensive than everyone else's, so I make a pour over for us most mornings and it takes time. But again, it's just something I'm accustomed to doing and it's it's part of the way that I wake up. And then I'll take my. Beautiful, delicious cup of coffee.
Not always blue bottle, but often blue bottle into the living room where I have kind of a temporary desk set up. And I'll jump into work. I'll open the laptop and see what sort of happened overnight and look at my calendar and just get a kind of game plan for the day ahead. Sometimes respond to some quick emails, take a few quick notes.
Probably spend 15, 20 minutes doing that while pat's ensuring that our child eats. And then I'm on like dress and hair duty, so she, after she eats with some, some Coke thing, she's a very slow eater. So, we get through that stage. I'll make sure she gets dressed. She still likes me to pick out her outfit.
We're sending her to private school, so outfit choices are limited. So I'm hoping at some point she will take the initiative to choose what she wants to wear. But you know, it's okay. I, I will choose that in the morning and hope that I remember what she is supposed to wear. Last Wednesday like every other Wednesday, they're supposed to wear a dress because they go to Mass and I totally forgot.
So apparently she was like given a, given a temporary jumper and sent to the bathroom to change. But you know, she made it through. So I'm responsible for getting her dressed, making sure she's dressed, and then, you know, make sure she brushes her teeth. I'll do her hair, I mean, pull it up in a ponytail or something.
Make sure she gets her shoes on. Then she's ready to go. My husband takes her to school. We live a three minute drive away from the school, so it's a really quick turnaround, drop off turnaround situation. And that's when I jump back into my computer, open up the, the rose colored laptop and dive in again.
I find that just having the space first thing in the morning to focus is critical for me. I am a morning person and any sort of deep work I need to do, like really needs to happen before there are any distractions. When I'm sitting there with a hot cup of coffee, like fresh mind no stress is weighing on me from the day before.
And so depending on kind of the acute need in a particular day I will spend anywhere from 30 minutes to like two hours focusing on something. If there's not anything super critical, like in that moment that I need to prepare for in the morning, I try to go on a run at like around eight or eight 15 and hopefully my husband can do that with me.
'cause we love working out together. It's like another great time that we can spend together and it feels productive and good for us. And because we live so close to the mountains, I try to make that a trail run just because we have the luxury of that. And so we're like three minutes from the trail head.
Also, I find that running on a trail is distracting from working out because you're like trying to not break
[00:14:04] Ellie: Fall off the ledge.
[00:14:05] Emily: So you have to pay. You have to pay attention, and it's like that. It like forces you to be present. So I always find that like a more intense workout in the mountains is easier than running on the road.
But yeah, so try to do a run, come home, take a quick shower, get ready, and then most of my meetings usually don't start until nine or nine 30. Sometimes later, depending on the typical day. We have a team huddle every day, which is like a daily standup. Our team is distributed across the us. We're very small.
There are six of us that are full-time. And we check in every morning for 30 minutes, talk about kind of what we worked on the day before, what is on our plate coming up, and then discuss any kind of pertinent issues where we need buy-in or weigh in from the whole group. And it also just for a remote workforce is it's like that, you know, how was your day, how was your weekend? Talk about what happened in White Lotus on Sunday night. Right? It's like a moment to connect. And so that's I think really, really important for us. During that time, my, my team always jokes that, that during that huddle I will have a special delivery of a green smoothie. I actually took a ridiculous photo of myself today because the our, during our huddle, my internet stopped and there was just like this ridiculous photo of me, like chugging this, this green drink down. But yeah, so I have a green smoothie every day for breakfast. It is. The easiest way to fit in a lot of vegetables and a salad, which sort of allows us to be a little less rigorous on diet the rest of the day.
And it's so, so easy to make. Especially when my husband is making it most days.
[00:15:58] Ellie: What's your recipe? What's the
[00:16:01] Emily: What is Mari? Sweet? Yeah. So, spinach or kale is the base and then we put in some type of nut butter, usually peanut butter because it's easiest and we buy it in bulk. And then frozen fruit, usually just one type depending on what we have.
And the freezer might be mango, might be blueberries. The dark cherries from Costco are delicious if you can get them. They don't always have them, but they're yummy. And then, protein powder. My favorite is Vital Proteins, protein powder. They also make the collagen peptides, but I love, they're just protein.
My favorite is vanilla, but we also buy chocolate. We don't usually mix the two, but we do have the two on hand. And yeah, so the, we, you basically try to put a grain in a fat, which is the peanut butter protein, which is the protein powder. And then you also want to try to have fiber, like in addition to the greens.
And so that might be like a big scoop of hemp seed or chia seed. We used to put cilium husk in. But yeah, and it's like a whole thing. We've been doing it for a long time and it's like an easy way to feel sort of healthy. Yeah.
[00:17:25] Ellie: I love it. I've been trying to work on that. So you get that delivered every day? How
[00:17:29] Emily: I get that delivered. I get the special delivery of green drink during our daily huddle. And that pretty much keeps me going until, I don't know, 1230 or one when I'll have lunch. Work is in between then. We'll say, this is I was thinking I'd do Wednesday as like our, our typical day.
'cause it's a pretty typical day at Fay. On Wednesdays we have an advisor call at noon my time and this is like an open invitation for all of our kind of independent advisors to join a weekly call. It's optional but it's a really good chance for them to be able to share feedback directly with our team and learn what new products we're building.
A lot of times as we think about like new features we'll build, we're building, we love to get their feedback and it is. It's definitely my favorite meeting of the week because we're interacting like directly with who are our customers and the advisors who use our software to run their personal assistant business.
And it's just incredibly motivating to see people that use your product every day. Super engaged, but also pushing us always to make it better, which is which is just really cool. And then the afternoon usually, I mean, I'm in quite a few meetings, whether it's like partnership meetings or talking to investors or the other thing that I try to do at least a few of them every week or client calls.
So if you want to join Faye, you can just sign up online. Easy peasy. If you're, if you have questions about our service or really wanna kind of speak to a human and better understand what's on offer, you can schedule a free consultation and I try to. Do a few of those every week because it just helps me stay connected to what we're solving for clients.
And I just love meeting all the interesting folks that find us. And so I'll, you know, on a typical day I would have at least one client call. And then three days a week, I have a one-on-one, generally 30 minutes to an hour with my co-founder Kipp. He's our CTO, so he runs product and engineering and I'm really more on the marketing and business side.
And like it's been amazing to start this company with him, and I'm so thankful to him. And I, I can't imagine trying to do this on your own people that do it on their own. I'm just like. Amazed by. But it really, I think is important for us to have the space to be intellectually honest with each other about what we're building.
We push each other on things. And sometimes the conversations can be hard when there's not alignment, but I think we respect that about each other and we push each other to get to the right answer. So I do, I do think that's like some of the most critical time that I have each week. We skipped lunch.
Not sure that that's like critical other than I do work from home most days because I find lunch to be stressful. When I'm at the coworking space. What's nice about being at home is I can just pop into the kitchen and warm up some leftovers or like snack on, I don't know. A piece of cheese and an apple and a toast, I don't know, but it just feels like when I'm in an office space or a coworking space, I have to be like very thoughtful about figuring out what I'm gonna eat.
And I don't like figuring that out in the morning. I'm more of a last minute lunch type person. And so that, that has been inspiring me to work from home more often than I used to. And yeah, that's kind of a typical day. And then I'll try to wrap things up around 5, 5 30 that might be a little bit optimistic as we enter like nighttime dinner routine.
[00:21:34] Ellie: Do you, it sounds like you're a morning deep work person. Do you schedule any, do you have any cadence to your weeks where you schedule, like you try to focus your meetings on certain days, or how does that look for you? I.
[00:21:49] Emily: I should be better about that. I feel like when I was in an executive role at a more stable, like big company, I would do that. The reality of startup life is things are so different every single day, and that's not to dismiss routines. So I, I probably should be better about scheduling that out, but I do like to keep things flexible.
The one thing I will do is because it's really easy for my schedule to fill up with meetings I will do put like A-A-D-N-S block, do not schedule. I'll have at least one of those a day for like an hour, an hour and a half. I have to because there is deep work that I need to do. And unless I have that on the calendar, it will not happen.
And it saves me from sacrificing, you know, night or time at night with my family to actually like, accomplish that during the day.
[00:22:52] Ellie: Absolutely.
So you wrap up around 5, 5 30 if we're on a good day. What does your evening look like? What time does your daughter get home? And then what does that early evening dinner time look like in your house?
[00:23:06] Emily: Yeah, so we typically, one of us will go pick her up from her afterschool program. I mean, the private school that we're sending her to. We chose for a few different reasons, but one huge benefit is that they have an afterschool program that the local public school did not have. And so we can pick her up as late as five 30.
Usually one of us picks her up. Around five because she has various activities at night. If this is a Wednesday, she would come home and she has a span. She, she has Spanish. So Katie, our family advisor, found us a local Spanish tutor who's incredible. We absolutely adore her. She is recently graduated from college with a degree in early childhood education, and she comes to our house actually now two nights a week.
One night she she works on Spanish with Vivian, and the other night she works on math. And so whether it's Tuesday or Wednesday, Andrea is here for an hour from five to six with Vivian. On the other nights Vivian's plays soccer. My, my husband Patton is the soccer coach, so that's six to seven on Thursdays.
She was. Ice skating. So I was a competitive figure skater as a kid and have sort of, you know, casually it hasn't been like a strong motive to get Vivian to do it. But she knows that I was a skater and so she's intrigued by it. And so she really wanted to do lessons this year, which she's done and she's loved.
But the past month we had a private lesson on Monday and a group lesson on Thursday. And with the move it was just too much. And she was kind of like, one day I picked her up from school and it was taking her to skating and she was like, mom, do you think I could just have one day where I could go home and I don't have to do an activity? Noted. So we, we put a pause on skating for a little bit. And then Fridays she goes to dance. So pretty much every afternoon there's something now we, now it's a bit more chill activity-wise with, with the move but would assume that that would pick back up again. And then my husband cooks most every night.
He's a wonderful cook and he also manages meal planning and shopping. so generally when he's cooking, I might jump back and do something online or, or hang out with Vivian. Play with Vivian. Again, it is a little atypical week 'cause I, atypical week because I cooked twice last week. That doesn't happened that often.
But he does, he does prepare most of our food and then we eat as a family. Like it. 6 37. And then every night, especially now, you know that it's light out later, we go on an after dinner walk. again, this is kind of a, a ritual like the morning coffee that I feel like, I mean, we probably do this at least six outta seven nights a week, and we just walk around our block.
We live on this amazing street where we have like incredible neighbors and especially as spring starts to come out here after a freezing cold winter just like kids and neighbors are out in the street and it's this really lovely idyllic social hour. And so, either we'll go on like a 20 minute walk or get caught up talking to neighbors, but it's just like a nice time to get outside before bed.
And then we make our way back home. Probably by, you know, depending like between seven 30 or eight. The bedtime routine is we try to make it fast. Read a story, get in jammies, one of us puts her to bed. Ideally she's asleep. She, I mean, as is true with all kids, if I, if we were recording this last week, I'd be like, it's amazing for months on end, we put her in bed at eight 15 and she falls asleep in three minutes.
That has not been the case the past week and has also included a lot of middle of the night interruptions with her coming downstairs and saying she can't sleep. But typically she's been like a phenomenal sleeper as she's gotten older. And yeah, she'll, she'll be in bed. And then Pat and I go downstairs and we were like, we were like 90 days into this great routine where we would, stretch for 10 minutes. We'd do like a, a Peloton stretch at night. They're great by the way. And then we would read at least 10 pages, which was also nice 'cause we were struggling to both read. And so forcing ourselves to read a little bit before bed. And then we would let ourselves watch TV before we fell asleep.
Again, given the stress of the last few weeks, we've just went straight for the, we've gone straight for the, the TV watching. But still most nights, like I fall asleep between nine 30 or 10 which means I'm getting like a good eight hours of sleep every night. I did not use to sleep that much in my twenties and early thirties.
And I think just as I've become older, I've been become more health conscious and I've realized that that is something that truly. Improves my outlook on life, my like performance ability at work, and just my ability to show up as like a good human and mom. So I do really cherish the sleep that I get and, and we do make that a priority.
Sometimes after our TV watching, if I haven't fallen asleep watching tv we will play a meditation from the Calm app
[00:29:09] Ellie: Mm-hmm.
[00:29:11] Emily: and it pretty much will put us to sleep. Every night. It's 10 minutes of hearing her voice and like deep breathing. I usually don't make it to the end of those, so that's a nice way to fall asleep.
[00:29:23] Ellie: Definitely. I currently did not get a ton of sleep last night, so in the, in the past two nights. And it's one of those things where I was sitting this morning, I was in a bad mood and I was like, this is just because I didn't get enough sleep. Like I know that, I know the source of this. Like I need to get more sleep tonight.
Literally wrote
[00:29:41] Emily: I also think it's
[00:29:42] Ellie: top three things.
[00:29:44] Emily: totally. I think it's also if, if I'm honest with myself, it's like after I became a mom where I cared about it a lot more, Vivian was a horrible sleeper for the first two years. Should wake up multiple times in the night. So to some degree I feel like I just I had, I had years of catching up to do after that whole experience.
But also I think it's 'cause you watch what happens to your kid when they don't get enough sleep and it reminds you that oh, the same thing is true for me.
[00:30:13] Ellie: So true.
[00:30:14] Emily: I, I need to figure this out. Yeah.
[00:30:17] Ellie: I can absolutely relate to that. One thing I didn't ask you is when you're done for the day, do you have a wrap up routine or like how do you transition from working from home to activities or your daughter coming home?
[00:30:30] Emily: Yeah, I have just like a paper notebook and I try to be pretty focused in terms of in the morning, these are the most important things I have to get done today. So if everything falls apart, like you accomplish this one thing or these two things. And so I am pretty good about forcing myself to address that at the end of the day.
At different times I've been like, and I, and I aspire to do this because I feel like all the productivity gurus tell me I should do this, which is you know, write my plan for the next day, the night before. But I think because one, because things change often, and two, because I am pretty tapped out by the end of a day.
Like I just much prefer doing that work first thing in the morning. So if anything, I'm kind of like tying up loose ends from the day before, first thing in the morning. And everybody has kind of their own way of doing that. But I've just found over the years that that has been most effective for me.
[00:31:41] Ellie: Absolutely. I'm similar. I'd never write my to-do list for the next day, the night before. I always am in the morning. I'm like, all right, what is it I need to do? And I
[00:31:50] Emily: Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
[00:31:51] Ellie: that. Curious how, you've mentioned you're have a background working at Blue Bottle. Curious how you came to co-found Faye and what inspired you there and kind of, you've got a team of six now, I'm sure that's feels a lot bigger than it was when it was probably just you and your co-founder.
Like how did that come to be
[00:32:16] Emily: Yeah, so, sure. The, the longer origin story, which maybe is like a little more interesting in this context is my first job outta college. I was the executive assistant for the editor in chief of the travel magazine at National Geographic Traveler. So I was an ea, I was an assistant. I didn't do like a ton of personal work for him, but I did do some.
And what was, I mean, he was an incredible guy to work for and really helped propel my career in many ways. But I also saw firsthand just how useful, like having someone who was like a strategic thinker and thoughtful, like helping you. With your tasks. And I was able to provide that for Keith in a way that I think was very impactful for him and for, you know, for his family sometimes too.
And so I've always just been fascinated about how you can kind of leverage consumer technology to create that assistant like experience for families or really for really anyone. And is there a way that you can do that, that you're not paying like the full-time salary of someone to support you?
And so it's been a theme that has really kind of captured my attention, arguably for years, 15 years. When I met Kipp, my co-founder at Nextdoor, he and I were on the small team that was building our ads platform. And at the time, like it was a, it was the number one focus of the company, so there was a lot of pressure on us and we were working all the time and.
We were excelling in our careers, but both felt like we were failing in our personal lives. And we didn't have children then, but it was like we needed to update our driver's license at the DMV and just could not figure out how we could possibly do that. Or we had a trip to go on with friends and had no idea how we could book these, these tickets and pull together hotels, et cetera.
And I say that just because it feels kind of laughable now, but at the time it was like, it felt like a real stress. So he and I ideated on this idea back then but really didn't have, like the tech hook was like, yes, you can go find lower cost labor overseas and maybe build a business by the labor margin there.
But there wasn't like a technical innovation that convinced us that this was the right time to build something. So we both went off in our own directions. He went to kind of a machine learning company and then went to Roblox and was one of the lead engineers for their trust and safety team, and spent a lot of time working with AI and machine learning.
I, like I mentioned, was at Blue Bottle and in that time we both had children. And realize that hey, being a busy worker, plus having kids is truly untenable. This is more of an issue. It felt more of more like an acute issue to us than it even had before. And as we started to see what was happening with generative AI and these large language models, light bulb went off and we thought, Hey, what if we were to leverage AI to make these tasks a lot faster and, you know, better for families.
We don't feel like there's a great way today where the client themselves, me, myself, as a family, can use AI to get everything done. But. If we leverage AI with a human assistant we feel like that's the way that you actually create value. And so that's what we've built at Fay. And I think the other insight is that on the supply side, there are all these amazing people, mostly moms who have actual experience doing this type of work for their own family.
And so if we could just give them these AI enabled tools to support other families, that's a win-win. We're solving the problem for the busy households, plus we're giving a way for these other moms to monetize their invisible labor. Therefore, we've created this marketplace that's good for both sides.
[00:36:55] Ellie: That's awesome. And I, I think it's really cool how the opportunity for moms who are doing this already to use your technology to kind of scale that is really
[00:37:07] Emily: they can build a personal assistant business. Yeah. I mean, and I think that's the, I mean that's the piece here that drives me the most. I mean, of course, like I created this company out of my own acute need to like have the support as a busy executive to have the support from someone like Katie.
But what is so inspiring to watch happen is kind of all the side jobs we're creating for moms like Katie to pull in an income where before they were doing this work already for families. They were helping friends, they were helping their like executive mom friends, but never being compensated for it.
[00:37:43] Ellie: That's awesome. Of what you do in the day for yourself, you mentioned a. Run or walk hike, trail run stretching for that period of time. Is there anything else that you classify as self-care or something that's really important to you to do for yourself?
[00:38:02] Emily: Yeah, so on top of the run or some mornings if I'm really on it we'll, like fit into what, like strength sessions. I, we, I wouldn't call it a home gym, but we have, we have weights and we have a TV that plays Peloton strength training, workouts. And I do feel a lot better when I'm doing that, like twice a week.
So we, we try to do that as well. And then I would call this less of a workout. Less of a physical workout and more of a mental workout if I can swing it. I try to go on like a 20 minute walk in the middle of the day just to get up from the desk, move my body. lets me process like challenges that I'm going through.
I can kind of like think through ideas that like resets my creativity engine, I should schedule them. But luckily there's, I usually find at least like 15 minutes in every day to get some time to go outside. Not in a hardcore workout way, but just in a move your body walk around the block kind of way.
And so I do think of that as self-care. I was, I do have a membership to one of these. Have you heard of these IV places where you
[00:39:28] Ellie: Oh yeah. Yeah.
[00:39:30] Emily: Like a hydration iv. And I did that through the winter and the fir the first time I did it, I felt like I was getting sick and I went and got this Id IV with all of these you know, amazing vitamins in it.
And I truly felt great for two weeks. Which then encouraged me to sign up for a membership which I'm not sure I need that, but I did, I, through the winter, I didn't get sick this winter and I did get one of these once a month. I think I've got you know, I got four or five of them and so it was hard to break away and go sit with a needle in my arm for an hour, but I actually do think it helped.
So that's, that's a self-care piece and yeah.
[00:40:15] Ellie: I love that. I've seen those and I, I definitely, they're definitely growing in popularity around here. I have, there's a place nearby that I've never been to, but now I'll check out next time I'm getting a little
[00:40:26] Emily: I think they work. I mean, part of it is I'm like, is this
[00:40:30] Ellie: Is it mental? Yeah. Is it
[00:40:32] Emily: Yeah. And the other piece is like, at least the place that I go to, you sit in this massage chair and I'm not looking at my phone and it's dark and it's like a very peaceful, so I'm like, is it the, the fact that I'm sitting in this like quiet room for an hour to myself having this nice massage, or is it, you know, these like magical vitamins that I'm pumping through my body, but I do actually feel quite a bit better after doing them.
[00:41:00] Ellie: Do you travel often for work or have you had to travel since starting
[00:41:03] Emily: Yeah, so I haven't been traveling a lot recently, but because we are distributed across the country, it's important that like we do find time to spend together throughout the year. My team came to me in February, so we had an offsite in Ogden, Utah, which was the, the first visit for all of them. So it was, I feel like I've just been with the team but didn't actually have to travel.
We also have a really tiny office in San Francisco, which is where KIPP is based along with our other engineer. And so I try to make it out there at least four or five times a year. And then I have been trying to go to our other markets like one or two times a year. It's not. There's, I, I love, I actually love traveling for work for Faye because being able to interact with our clients firsthand, meeting our advisors being with our team members is so great, but it also isn't like mission critical to where we are as a startup.
And one of the hard things about traveling is like you lose a day getting there and then, you know, you're exhausted when you come home. And then to get ready to travel, you have to do a lot of things just family wise to prep for that. And so I have become more mindful about like when I go and when it's critical to go.
And part of the benefit of being a founder is kind of, helping to make those choices and being able to like, you know, weigh when it is really critical versus. Being an employee on an executive team and having a boss be like, you have to go here now. Right. So that is, that is a luxury one of the luxuries I feel like you get as a founder.
[00:42:53] Ellie: Awesome. How do you stay organized? So do you have a, you said mentioned you have a notebook. Do you use a digital calendar? Do you use a paper planner? What is your organization
[00:43:04] Emily: Yeah. So mostly digital calendar. And I love, I know you've talked to Kelly Nolan and you've mentioned her as well, and I do, I, I, I don't follow her um, advice precisely, but it has made me really think about how I can better block off time even just for this conversation we're having today.
I was like, you need to get in the head space to do a podcast. So block off the 45 minutes ahead of time. To not be distracted by other things and like actually focus on preparing. And so I definitely rely on my Google calendar pretty pretty heavily to manage out my day. I have played with so many different like task management tools and for me for work, I actually just to use like a paper planner where I list out my priorities for the day.
I can quickly jot down todos as they come up and have a space on every page for random notes that come together. I've also been using one of these AI note taking tools called Granola,
[00:44:18] Ellie: Hmm.
[00:44:18] Emily: which. Is cool. I mean, it, it kind of transcribes the calls that you have, which I don't ever use it for, but it just summarizes the notes and that's nice to try to go through and make sure that I capture any of the action items.
Our software does that for advisors, which is cool. So if you are a client and you're talking to your family advisor through our platform it will transcribe that call into like notes and actionable tasks, which just reduces that administrative overhead that your client has to do or that your advisor has to do and saves you, saves you time and ultimately money 'cause you're, you're paying in hours.
We don't use that as a comp, we don't use that internally as a tool, we should. But it is something that our advisors get to use.
[00:45:08] Ellie: That's really cool. I've used a similar tool at work and it is. Revolutionary, like the ability to go back and find an email, like I'm sure it's similar to granola, like being able to go through the call and be like, did I get that right? Did I get the context of that right? In my follow up has
[00:45:24] Emily: It is. Right. And you know what's so fascinating about these tools is like, it is definitely useful to have the notes there, but it's also like the peace of mind that you just know it's being captured. And so like even if you aren't going back and like looking for that, you're like, I have it if I need it.
And it reduces the stress on you for capturing every item in a call.
[00:45:50] Ellie: Absolutely. And I'm a bad type typer and talker.
[00:45:53] Emily: Oh yeah.
[00:45:54] Ellie: to lead a meeting and like trying to type, it's just never gonna
[00:45:56] Emily: I know. It's so hard And it is easier for me to yeah, have the like notebook at my right and just jot it down versus trying to type and talk at the same time. Yeah.
[00:46:06] Ellie: Absolutely switching tax a bit, how are you making time for relationships with friends in this phase of life and what does that look like?
[00:46:16] Emily: This is such a good question and I know you ask some folks on your PA podcast, where are the balls dropping? And I feel like this might, this might be mine. I feel like, and honestly it's like part of the reason that we're, we're buying this new house because the current house we live in, it's a lovely little home, but we have no space for entertaining. And I'm a very social person and the fact that I can't like easily have friends come over and sit at a dining room table to have dinner is actually very taxing on me. And so we. This home that we're buying has a dining room which is important because then I feel like it will enable me to actually host, and I'm not like, I don't even need like big dinner parties, but a place where like we can all sit after we order takeout and hang out and talk.
And so that has been something that I feel like has been sacrificed, both given just our living situation, but also working so much with Faye and then having a kid in the mix. I have friends that are all in similar situations, and so they're understanding of that, but I just, I just miss it deeply.
Like I miss having strong friendships and spending a lot of time with them. And that's something that in the, in the next year ahead, I would, I would like to improve.
[00:47:46] Ellie: Absolutely. There's definitely phases. It goes in phases and. I mean, building a startup I can imagine is pretty taxing on the day to day.
[00:47:55] Emily: Yeah, there's only so much space you have for different things. And I chose, we chose to have one child for many reasons, but I do think it's been an enabler for me to start Faye as well. Sometimes Vivian calls it my fbe. She's good with the puns,
[00:48:16] Ellie: That is they,
[00:48:17] Emily: which is important as an
[00:48:19] Ellie: into punts. They get so into punts right now. My son the other day came up with someone like some random one and I was like, where did, that was awesome.
[00:48:29] Emily: she we were in New York. Actually I had to, I had to go to New York for work and so Vivian and Patton came along and we took her to her first Broadway show, which she absolutely loved, but she was very fa, we did not go to The Great Gatsby, but she was like fascinated by, she just excited by it. She remembers seeing the signs and she's reading this cute little library book right now called, I don't know the, I think it's called The Cool Bean or something.
And she ran in here this morning and she was like, you have to see this. It's so funny. And she opens it up and it's an illustration and it says The Great Gatz Bean. And she was like, do you get it? Do you get it? Like the Great Gatsby? And he's a bean. And I'm like, yes. And I love that. You appreciate that.
[00:49:23] Ellie: That's awesome. Yeah, my son just comes up with these all the time and I'm just like, he'll he, he says they're jokes, but they're like basically puns and I'm just like, this is so cool that you're thinking of these things and that you are like discovering how words all fit together in fun ways.
[00:49:36] Emily: Mm-hmm.
[00:49:37] Ellie: In terms of relationship with your husband, it sounds like you guys try to get some workout together and connect in the morning and in an evening. Are there other ways, do you prioritize date nights or are there other ways that you'd rather connect? What does that look like for you? How do you make
[00:49:53] Emily: Yeah. So we have definitely been better about date nights post Fay because we have a family advisor who plans them for us. So while Fay advisors can help save you money and take on all those like, annoying tasks like, you know, filing. Insurance reimbursements, they can also add more fun into your life.
And that is something that Katie has really helped us with. So weeks ago she, there's this like kind of hip new distillery here in Ogden and she's you can go there, you can try their, like they have a bar, then you can go across the, the street to the pub that only, you know, you have to be 21 or older to go in.
Which is like a perfect thing to do when we don't have our child with us. And you know, she just planned it for us, which was. Which was cool. She also is really good about finding us different concerts and live performances that we can go to, and I think booking those ahead of time and just having them on the schedule, like forces you to have date nights.
[00:51:03] Ellie: Mm-hmm.
[00:51:04] Emily: And so, yeah, I mean we, we are pretty good about that. It's not like every single Friday night we go on a date at seven, but scheduling kind of these events and performances in advance has like really helped make sure that we actually do go on date nights. And she's helped us kind of pull together a roster of babysitters so that, you know, we, we can actually go to these events
[00:51:35] Ellie: Awesome. Yeah. Having a roster of babysitters is essential. I did one of the classic mix mom mix ups this weekend where my husband, we are in a group text with the babysitter, my husband, the babysitter, and I, my husband texts okay, just park in the driveway. She then texts back, I didn't think I had you scheduled today.
And I had asked her for the wrong day. And so she was not, in fact scheduled to come which was not great. But having a roster of babysitters, I was able to find one, thankfully, who could pinch it, but this was like 15 minutes before we were supposed to leave, so we ended up putting both of our kids to sleep and then paying the babysitter to basically sit there.
But that's fine. It worked. We were able to go out. But yeah, I, the roster is essential.
[00:52:25] Emily: Yeah. And then if it, if just like work schedules line up too, and we can go on that walk, walk together in the middle of the day. That's another moment. I mean, that's another benefit of working from home is. You just have more time that you can spend together. And so, yeah, I mean that's, that's something that's worked really well for us recently.
[00:52:51] Ellie: I love that. It's so nice now that the sun's out again. We, we've had rain here for five days and so I, today I just took a little walk by myself and I texted my husband 'cause he was from home today. I was like, do you wanna go to walk? He didn't end up coming,
[00:53:04] Emily: Oh, he wasn't able to barn
[00:53:05] Ellie: No he wasn't. I tried but I maybe
[00:53:08] Emily: It's so nice. It's
[00:53:09] Ellie: so
[00:53:09] Emily: oh, this is so cool. Yeah,
[00:53:11] Ellie: feels like a little sneak to be able to, to do it. Okay. My next question is, what do you outsource, and I know you outsource a number of things to your Faye advisor. Are there other ways in which you outsource to other resources or other things that you outsource to your fa Faye advisor that you might wanna mention?
[00:53:30] Emily: Yeah. So. We, I'll start with things that I don't outsource and I am not against outsourcing them, but I think when you have a, when you spend a lot of time doing like knowledge work and feeling like you're really creative at work, at work all day long, for me at least, I kind of like doing manual labor in my off hour.
So I'm weird and I actually really enjoy doing laundry, so I'm not a I think you had said that you outsource it, don't you?
[00:54:02] Ellie: laundry. Hate laundry so much.
[00:54:04] Emily: Yeah. I am like very strange in that. I find it just very fun to do. So I do laundry. We, we did have a house cleaner, but she had some health issues and we haven't replaced her yet.
And so that I would like to not do. But we are like managing it right now. It's funny with like kids lessons, as I said, I, I was a figure skater. I could totally teach Vivian how to skate and know everything that she's learning right now. But I outsource that because that's not great for our relationship for her to take the lessons from me.
So that is something that I pay someone else to do. Similarly with tutoring, like I could not teach her Spanish. We totally could sit and work with her on math, but we find that she's so receptive to Andrea and they like, she loves doing it. And it ends up being like an extra hour that like, Patton and I can get work done or cook dinner.
And so that's something that we outsource. And then just in terms of tasks that we're outsourcing to Katie, I mean, I mentioned some of the things that happened during the move, but she solved like. I don't know, 370 tasks or something for us in the past 12 months. She will, anytime I need to buy something, even if it's something simple, like we know we want to go to the local rodeo on July 24th, and it seems like it would be so easy for me to log on and buy tickets.
What invariably happens is I open up the window and a slack comes in and I'm pulled into something else and I forget to actually execute on the purchase and then realize that I've lost the tickets. Five days later. And so I've trained myself to just like anytime a task might take me more than two minutes to do, to just send it to her because I know it'll actually get done.
She'll also, she's done a lot of research and like execution on home service type tasks for us. So we needed a carpet cleaner. She found one scheduled time for them to come. I just mentioned the, the moving trucks. I leverage her a lot for like gifts. I am not a memory maker. We call, we call the, the prototype of the mom that kind of wants to, I want to create a memory with gifts and I want to be a thoughtful gifter, but it doesn't come to me intuitively, nor is it something I really enjoy doing.
And so I lean on Katie heavily to. Help us plan Vivian's birthday party to help us think about gifts for what I should give to my mom to make sure that I'm sending my aunt flowers for her 80th birthday. When a friend's parent passes away, I don't like to just send flowers. I think it fills more special to send food.
So Katie will like research someone local in the community who puts together charcuterie boards and make sure that that arrives and comes with a thoughtful note from us. So there are, you know, there are tasks that come up every week that I would typically rely on myself to do but can easily just, just text Katie to do them.
And so that has been really, really helpful for our family.
[00:57:28] Ellie: That makes a lot of sense. I love that idea about the food, the local food options. You mentioned having a really creative knowledge building. Role. How would you say you express C creativity in a day? Or what are some ways that you express your creativity?
[00:57:47] Emily: I love this question. I was an avid crafter as a kid. Like Avid would just spend hours getting lost in, I mean, I had this like little craft room, which was basically like this weird closet in our basement. And my mom's amazing. She's saved all my supplies, but I, I mean, it was deep. Like I had all of the clays and markers and paints and glues and glitter glues and stickers and just like everything.
And anytime like at school, I would be given some type of an art project. I would take it very seriously and just pour like hours into these, these projects. I sadly don't do that today, but it is nice to watch my, my daughter doing a lot of that. And sometimes like I'll join in with her, like I'll, I'll draw with her or whatnot.
But I think for the most part I express my creativity in just like building at Fay, it's like when you, when you are building a startup, it requires creativity every single day. It's like you have to wake up and have the energy to say, how am I gonna solve this new problem? And sometimes it feels like more artistic when you're like looking at product designs and trying to weigh in on how things should be.
You know, what a layout should look like or how something should function. And sometimes it's you know, more tactical, like, how are we going to operationalize this tricky thing that keeps coming up. But it feels like generative and creative and that's part of the reason that I've been so driven to startups through my career and why this is the one is probably the most fulfilling because it's the most building from scratch before I've joined startups where they were something before I joined them.
This is really kind of every day it feels like we're creating something out of nothing. And yeah, I mean that's what, that, that's what feels energizing about it.
[00:59:51] Ellie: I love that. You mentioned AI note taker and the tools, the AI tools that Faye has. Are there other ways that you're using AI in your day-to-day life?
[01:00:01] Emily: Yeah. So in my personal life as I've been working on buying this home, I have heavily leveraged chat GPT to help me try to become more informed on real estate matters. And it's been awesome. So this is everything from I'll get a text from my realtor that uses jargon that I don't quite understand, and I can just like copy and paste the text into chat GPT and be like, Hmm, explain this to me.
Like I'm not very bright, like what am I missing here? And it like really helps, like they sort of seem to get the context. And then just you know, at the end of the day, buying a house is like doing a business deal and there's contracts involved and language and so. Having relatively little experience with it, just being able to like leverage the quote unquote expert that is the, the large learning model has been super useful.
We used it to on, on a few terms and it like spit out a beautifully written note that I edited some, but like ultimately put forth a pretty strong argument. And so I find for anything that I have a topical knowledge on, it just is helpful to like, add breadth in a really clear, distilled way.
And so that's what I use it for the most often. Our tool does some really cool things on you know, being able to do, we have a deep research function as part of our. Advisor tool set. And so you can say what are some interesting things for this family to do this weekend? And it knows exactly where that family is and what that family likes and does this like deep deep research dive on all the cool things that you can do in the area? So those are kind of more the, the fun ways or we also Yeah, have a, to like researching all the steps that you need to take to get your child's passport renewed, which by the way, you can't renew a child passport. You have to get a new
[01:02:22] Ellie: basically a new one. Yep.
[01:02:24] Emily: Yeah. So our system, our tool just expedites the research that, you know, you would typically have to take.
But yeah, in my personal life I do use chat GBT that's kind of the main one. And then use our own tools through fa.
[01:02:39] Ellie: That's awesome. Yeah, I'm definitely still learning different ways to use chat. GPT one of my friends taught me how to make agents recently and create your own like little chat bots, which has been pretty nifty.
[01:02:50] Emily: you using it?
[01:02:51] Ellie: yeah, so I have, I created one for a day in her life to help me like edit po show notes and stuff like that.
So it does it pretty quickly and then makes it easier for me to take it and run with it. And then I also am working on something with a friend related to romance books
[01:03:09] Emily: that's so cool. Yeah. You, I, you brought up the, I can't remember which podcast it was in, but you've brought up the, the romance book thing before. We have the. If you're ever in Salt Lake City, we have the cutest romance bookstore called Love Bound Library, and it is just adorable. It is curated so well in this fun little space and it is packed like it is.
You cannot walk in this place on a Saturday morning.
[01:03:39] Ellie: That's, they're, they just opened one a woman in, opened one in Cambridge called love Struck books and it is like standing room only. It's so cool though. I love, I love delightful bookstores of any type and I feel like romance bookstores are just even more special.
[01:03:57] Emily: Real fun.
[01:03:58] Ellie: Emily, what is a ball that you are letting drop or setting aside something you are consciously deprioritizing right now?
[01:04:07] Emily: Yeah, I mean, I mentioned that a little bit earlier with just like friends and social engagements. I am consciously ignoring them, but I'm very unhappy about that. So, yeah, finding ways that I can kind of, spend a lot more time with friends. Whether that's like planning trips that we go on together.
Again, having the space that we can entertain friends, but also moving to this new home that has like a better space for friends to visit because all of our good friends tend to be in kind of larger cities where we, you know, pat and I grew up, that's where we grew up in terms of our careers and that's where our strong network of friends are not here.
So having the space where we can kind of have them come visit. Also just, I felt pretty put together this year. I've had pretty good routines. Faye's been growing really quickly, but I feel like we have, we've got the team in place to deal with it. It's, it's felt really good. What I've been reminded of is that when you're faced with these big life events, in my case it's moving houses, but it might be a sick parent.
It might be a sick kid. It might be you're going on a big trip. It might be you know, you're going through a divorce. Like we've got plenty of clients that, that are challenged with that right now. It's so easy for like things to drop, like we. using the royal we here. But in terms of what I've seen from our clients and what I've seen with my friends that are also kind of in big jobs is we just take on so much.
We le we lead these really complicated lives and there's no margin for air. So everything's fine when it's like strumming, you know, and then something comes in, some exogenous event happens and it just feels like everything falls apart. And so that's one of the things that we're, we're really trying to work on at Faye.
Like how can our advisors be prepared for those life events that invariably happen to all of us and some are, are terrible and, and really tough, like parents whose kids are diagnosed with cancer and some are. Temporarily like challenging, like moving to a new home. But you know, we'll get through it. And just making sure that our advisors have the tool set to handle those in the right empathetic way.
I mean, at our core we're only bringing on advisors who by their very nature, have that empathy and nuance and like really strong eq. So they are naturally dealing with those life events really well. But I think it's a really interesting challenge for us on the product side to make sure that we're, we're there to be like super supportive through these times.
[01:07:17] Ellie: I love that. That's really well said and so important, I'm sure to have, as you said, like someone in your corner, in your like back pocket, making sure those things don't fall through the cracks during that time.
[01:07:28] Emily: Well, we think everything's like normal, but like in reality, like we actually go through these life events a lot. You know, it's like we haven't someone, one of you has a new job and suddenly everything changes because their traveling or you know, their work hours are different. And so if you really you know, look back at the past 15 years of your life, like you've gone through a lot of these and you will continue to go through with them and they'll be hard.
And I think just making sure that you have the right network that's there to support you is, is pretty critical.
[01:08:02] Ellie: Absolutely. Speaking of someone going through one of those life changes right now and having to change, I just started a new job a few weeks ago, and then
[01:08:10] Emily: Oh yeah.
[01:08:10] Ellie: my travel has been different and so I, I had to work, travel. You were talking about it takes so long to get there and then you're exhausted. I was like, this is me last week.
[01:08:20] Emily: So you are traveling more now?
[01:08:21] Ellie: More than I have in a while. So last week I was traveling and I'm traveling next week, which is out of character for my usual cadence. But I didn't get home till 2:00 AM or I didn't fall asleep till after 2:00 AM after coming back from the west coast and I was just a zombie the next day. I was like, you don't
[01:08:38] Emily: I know, I know. So hard.
[01:08:41] Ellie: Emily, what is something you are obsessed with recently? What is something that is sparking the most joy?
[01:08:48] Emily: Yeah. Also a good question. So I think the, like most consistent obsession, and this is not you know, a flash in the pan thing but are my, ultra running shoes. So I don't know if you've heard of that brand. It's A-L-T-R-A, I think they're like a competitor to Hoka. But they have this zero drop that we don't need to get into the, the deep specifics, but like I had gone to the podiatrist a few years ago and he was like, we definitely need to do this aggressive operation on your foot so that you don't have terrible pain.
And instead of doing that, I just cut new running shoes and it is like eradicated the issue. And so, I love them. They are great. They're called the Paradigm Sevens made by Ultra. They're not cheap, but they are worth every single dollar. So that's probably my like favorite product right now.
[01:09:48] Ellie: Ooh, I'm in the
[01:09:49] Emily: And I'm also obsessed with Monty Don, the gardener that we talked about earlier.
[01:09:56] Ellie: Is it like Monty, DON, or is
[01:09:58] Emily: yeah. It's like the name is so funny. Monty, M-O-N-T-Y last name Don, DON. He actually has a pretty huge Instagram
[01:10:06] Ellie: I'm sure if he has like A-A-S-M-R gardening show. I
[01:10:11] Emily: Yeah. And it's so funny because I am like, not a green thumb, I'm not a gardener, but I love being in gardens and even when we travel, like we always go to a botanical garden, like we're, we're very like drawn to gardens.
Do not have any sort of like gardening experience in our homes or never have. But there's just something that is so peaceful and like lovely about watching this at nine 30 at night and dozing off too. So highly recommend it.
[01:10:43] Ellie: I love it. And then Emily, where can people learn more about you and follow you?

[01:12:06] Emily: Oh, definitely. The evening walk we do after dinner. Again, as you've heard, I'm like starved for this social connection and so we, we we're out in nature.

It sort of feels like what matters most and I look forward to it every day.
