  What does it really mean to choose love on purpose? To not just fall into it, but to be intentional about who you build with, who you grow with, and who you do life with. And once you find that person, how do you actually build something that lasts? Because love is one thing, but building a life, a family, and a legacy together, now that's living it up. Today, we're getting into all of that. Finding love with intention and what it really takes to make it last with Ciara and Russell Wilson. Two people who don't just talk about it, they live it. So let's get into it, because baby, this is Keke Palmer.

• 1:09Keke Palmer?

  And I'm so glad that I get to have more time with my girl. Ciara, Russell, get out of here, guys.

• 1:18Keke Palmer?

  You look so good.

• 1:19Speaker 01

  Thank you so much. You too.

• 1:21Speaker 02

  What's up, girl?

• 1:22Keke Palmer?

  Oh, my gosh, thank you. And I feel like I'm lucky because I get to see you back to back. I just seen y'all at the Super Bowl.

• 1:28Speaker 02

  What's happening?

• 1:29Speaker 01

  You said, "What, and Vandy Fair?"

• 1:30Keke Palmer?

  That's where we was at, because I was like, I just, you had a short haircut.

• 1:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:33Keke Palmer?

  At the Vandy Fair, yeah.

• 1:34Speaker 01

  I was rolling your world.

• 1:36Keke Palmer?

  Okay. You can do it all. How y'all doing?

• 1:39Speaker 02

  Great, how you been?

• 1:39Keke Palmer?

  Feeling good? And you guys are mostly, you guys are in New York all the time, East Coast.

• 1:43Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:44Keke Palmer?

  So I'm over here, the weather's getting nice again.

• 1:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, 72 today.

• 1:47Keke Palmer?

  Yes, but no crazy sun, which was interesting. It's kind of like the overcast in New York, which is so interesting.

• 1:52Speaker 01

  I know, I'm like, I need to get one more winter-ish kind of outfit off before I get any more.

• 1:59Keke Palmer?

  It's your closet that I really need to also have a talk with you in. Because I already know it's insane. Fashion girlie, the original. Um, well, let's get into some of these pull-up questions. Let's see, I know some of this with you, so I'm gonna do this with you, Russell.

• 2:12Speaker 02

  Alright, I'm ready.

• 2:13Keke Palmer?

  What's your zodiac sign?

• 2:14Speaker 02

  Ooh, zodiac, I'm a Sag.

• 2:16Keke Palmer?

  Does he give Sag?

• 2:17Speaker 02

  I'm not like a huge zodiac guy, like, like, you know, like, it's funny, because like, you bring up the zodiac signs and like, you know, you meet people and you'll be like, you know, going on a date, right?

• 2:27Keke Palmer?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:27Speaker 02

  And the first thing they'll be like, "What's your sign?" And I'm like, "Oh, what? It's my side, like, oh."

• 2:31Keke Palmer?

  Did you hit him with the "What's your sign?" question when you guys did this first date?

• 2:34Speaker 02

  Nah, it was by the 15th, but she asked me, you know. But then, but then also too, like, they'll be like, like, "What do you believe in?" You know, whatever. "What's your faith?" And I'm like, "The universe," and I'm like, "Mmm."

• 2:44Keke Palmer?

  Ah, you're like, "It ain't grounded enough for me." Anything here a little checky.

• 2:48Speaker 01

  Universe talk.

• 2:50Keke Palmer?

  What is your love language? And this is, I don't think I've asked you this one. What do you feel your love language is? Like, you know, they say quality time, they say physical touch, words of affirmation, um, acts of service. Where do you guys feel that you, how do you receive love and how do you give it?

• 3:04Speaker 01

  I think quality time, for sure.

• 3:06Speaker 02

  Quality time, for sure, for me.

• 3:07Speaker 01

  Um, I think acts of service go such a long way for the both of us.

• 3:12Keke Palmer?

  Um, yeah.

• 3:13Speaker 01

  You know, because I think it feels good when you both know that each person is thinking about each other. You know, it can be like flowers, um, you know, he gives me flowers like randomly all the time. It's one of my favorite things, like, and it's always a surprise for the most part when he does it.

• 3:30Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 3:31Speaker 01

  And that like fills my heart up, like, so if I'm far away from him and I come to my hotel room and there's a big bouquet of flowers, I'm like, yeah, so that's an act of service.

• 3:39Keke Palmer?

  Absolutely.

• 3:40Speaker 01

  Okay, cool.

• 3:40Keke Palmer?

  Yeah, and even just the thoughtfulness of figuring out what it need to be and where you're at. I mean, obviously, he knows because he's your husband, but still, it's that extra thought that counts.

• 3:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, especially when it's rough, like, it's hard for me to be away from him and the babies. So when you're going like for a good amount of time, you feel like the world starts to feel a bit more heavier. Even though I'm, you know, living my dream, I'm still like, not fully connected because I'm far from them sometimes, so.

• 4:04Speaker 02

  I would definitely say quality time, you know, and physical touch, for sure.

• 4:08Keke Palmer?

  Well, you know, you are dangerous with that physical touch.

• 4:10Speaker 02

  I'm trying to have Cico, but you know, like, you guys know that, but, no, I think, I think what's interesting is, is that like, going back to acts of service, like, acts of service for me is like, it's important, but it's not like... I mean, for me to receive, it's not, that's not the thing, like, she gives me a gift. I always tell her, like, for my birthdays, like, don't give me anything, I don't, I don't know. I just want to spend, spend quality time. Now, she'll always give me a little something. She's got me some good watches, actually.

• 4:32Keke Palmer?

  So, yeah, are you, it's the fa- the fashion gifts. You good with, you, is that kind of where your mind goes?

• 4:37Speaker 01

  Well, I just like to think about, I feel like men are simple. You just get him what they like, like, he loves watches.

• 4:44Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 4:44Speaker 01

  You know, so, that's not the only thing that I get him, but I always try to, I have to think deep for him, even though he tells me I can't.

• 4:51Speaker 02

  You don't have to think that deep.

• 4:52Speaker 01

  No, but, to me, I do. He's not telling me I have to, but I want to, right? So, like, something that I think is really cute, for one of our anniversaries, I got him, uh, I got both of us these keys made out of gold. It was the key to the door of the place where we first met.

• 5:10Keke Palmer?

  Oh.

• 5:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, so, like.

• 5:12Keke Palmer?

  Sentimental.

• 5:13Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 5:13Keke Palmer?

  You're sentimental.

• 5:14Speaker 01

  Right, or like, one other year, I did, uh, a gold, um, chain with the coordinates of the location, um, to where we got married.

• 5:21Keke Palmer?

  No.

• 5:22Speaker 01

  So, like, something like that, right?

• 5:24Keke Palmer?

  I love that.

• 5:25Speaker 01

  You got bad ideas, right?

• 5:26Speaker 02

  I love, like, I'm like the Notebook watcher. You ever seen the movie The Notebook?

• 5:30Keke Palmer?

  Love it.

• 5:30Speaker 02

  I love, like, sentimental stuff like that.

• 5:32Keke Palmer?

  Yes, so you're a movie person, too, yeah.

• 5:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, I like thoughtful stuff like that, like, that's, that's my favorite.

• 5:38Speaker 01

  I think, uh, babe, this is not a love language I hear on the list, I guess, that the world talks about, but I feel like one of our other love languages is food.

• 5:49Keke Palmer?

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:50Speaker 02

  But, that goes back to quality time to me, like, but, yes, like.

• 5:53Keke Palmer?

  I was just talking to somebody about the, whatever the sushi date you did for her one time, you posted up on the page, where y'all did sushi in y'all's kitchen. I love that date.

• 6:02Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 6:02Keke Palmer?

  I wasn't even there, but I was like, I felt that I was there. That's a very cute, and making food together, that's fun.

• 6:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, that was fun, that was, that was my birthday, and that was also romantic, so.

• 6:13Keke Palmer?

  Yes, I loved it. Okay, now, what's a question that you guys wish that you were asked more in interviews? Because I feel like everybody has asked, y'all both been in a game for so long, and then, together for so many years, y'all probably been asked everything.

• 6:24Speaker 01

  Mm.

• 6:25Speaker 02

  You've been asked, you've been asked a lot of questions, um. I don't know. I think the question that like, I would say that like, I think the most interesting I would say is just, what's the challenge? Yeah, I was thinking that. Like, I think, you know, everybody thinks everything's perfect and everything's great all the time. And I think, the thing about love, the thing about marriage, the thing about having kids in particular, um, there's challenges along the way. And I always watch my parents, like, I think about my mom, my dad, my dad's in heaven now. Rest in peace. I remember watching, um, my mom and my dad raise us. And I think about just sacrifice, the sacrifice that my mom, she was ER nurse. My dad was a lawyer.

• 7:06Speaker 02

  Um, he worked even two jobs at one point just to, so we could go to school and afford everything that we needed to do. And I think that level of sacrifice, um, is something that's interesting to me. Yeah. And, you know, the thing about, I think, like, life in general, um, is we all face challenges. You know, when she's at her ultimate high, I may be at a low. When I'm at my ultimate high, she may be at a low. And a lot of times, we're both at highs at the same time. Yeah. The one good thing I would say is, what God has blessed us with is that we're never low at the same time. And I think that's just kind of like, uh, I think that's an interesting thing of like. That's definitely some grace. Yeah, you know, I think that's a big thing. I think, you know, communication, I think is another big piece to it all. Obviously, everybody says, hey, what's the most important thing?

• 7:51Speaker 02

  Communication. That's a big piece of it, but sometimes it's the idea of not saying something too. You know, and just being like, you know, just, like I said, goes back to quality time, but just being able to be patient, you know? I know I'm, I'm probably the least patient person. I, I'm a patient person, like, I'm, like, I'm patient for people. Yeah. I have grace for people. When it comes to like getting stuff done, like, I'm very impatient, I'm like, like, let's go, let's go. But I think that's a quarterback in me. Right. Yeah, you know, that's. Ain't no time to play. Yeah, we can't, we gotta. They're coming for me. We gotta get this first down, let's go. But, uh, I think, I think a big part of it is like, that, that business part of my brain is like, go, and sometimes I can come off a little, like, we got, no, we gotta do this. Yeah, yeah. Um, I think that she's pretty, really good at that. And I think.

• 8:36Speaker 02

  At the same time, I think, you know, I've learned a lot from her, just with, with patience in general, like. But I think where I come in, I think where I'm good, is like, like, for example, like, this morning, or last night, really, kind of this morning, it's like four o'clock in the morning.

• 8:50Keke Palmer?

  Y'all was up.

• 8:51Speaker 02

  Well, yeah.

• 8:51Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:52Speaker 02

  Four o'clock, no, we're asleep.

• 8:55Speaker 01

  Deterring.

• 8:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, but, but actually what happened was.

• 8:58Speaker 01

  Baby testing your patience.

• 8:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, but when our son is, he only spelled one white, W I N, and the thing is, he keeps getting up in the morning, and so, like, I'm very, like, firm, and Ciara's firm. You are, you're firm.

• 9:13Speaker 01

  I'm like, okay, bro, come on down.

• 9:14Speaker 02

  You got way better at it. But I'm like, when I, when I walk in the room, they're like, "Erp," the kids are like, you know, so like.

• 9:20Speaker 01

  Her voice, it's enough.

• 9:21Keke Palmer?

  They always do that with dad.

• 9:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 9:23Keke Palmer?

  Mom, I never quite can do it. I try, and my son laughs at me.

• 9:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:27Speaker 01

  And then they question, they, you have to tell them the command three times.

• 9:30Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 9:31Speaker 01

  Dad said one time, everybody like.

• 9:33Speaker 02

  I, I.

• 9:34Speaker 01

  I'm like, really?

• 9:35Speaker 02

  I'm trying to make sure I, I don't have to say anything at all, you know? And just walk in the room.

• 9:39Speaker 01

  That's what happened, it's more.

• 9:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's more like four forty-five.

• 9:42Speaker 01

  I was doing pretty good.

• 9:43Speaker 02

  I was so tired.

• 9:43Keke Palmer?

  I love what you mentioned about the, the, the challenge piece, because I do feel like, you guys are like everybody's, and I'm not just saying that, you guys really are everybody's relationship goals. Um, but obviously, this is real life, we, you know what I mean, we don't know everything ins and outs. When it comes to how you approach challenges, what are some main things that you, I know you said communication, but is it like, we take a five-minute break, or, you know, we revisit it on another day? What are some of those things that you've learned, that are like key tools to help with challenges?

• 10:10Speaker 01

  Well, it says in the Bible, right, you shouldn't go to, you can't, you shouldn't go to bed, how does it say, baby, you shouldn't go to bed mad?

• 10:16Speaker 02

  Basically, it sums up, don't go to bed angry.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 10:18Speaker 02

  Never, never go to sleep angry.

• 10:20Speaker 01

  We don't really.

• 10:21Speaker 02

  I, I think we, we've always done that really well, you know, we've.

• 10:25Speaker 01

  We don't let the day pass us by, now, sometimes it might take some time throughout the day, you know, because we're both like, strong personalities, and then I want to, I'm in my frustrated bag, and then he might be frustrated, and then we might be quiet, and then that silence is like.

• 10:41Speaker 02

  I don't like si, I'm not, I'm not the type.

• 10:43Speaker 01

  Yo, he don't like silence. Me?

• 10:45Speaker 02

  I'm not, I'm not unless you just be silent for an hour, like, what, like, I don't do that.

• 10:49Speaker 01

  And I, sometimes I'm like, I gotta find myself, right, I'm like, I gotta find myself sometimes, right?

• 10:56Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 10:56Speaker 01

  Like, let me get it together, um, but I feel like he's so good with. Um, you know, coming back around to something, what is it Pastor Judah would say we have to say to each other?

• 11:06Speaker 02

  Well, we always play this game of who can ask for forgiveness first.

• 11:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:10Speaker 02

  So like you never like, because biblically, like, we have to forgive each other, right? So like, you know, scripture in Matthew, it talks about, you know, that like, we have, it's an obligation for us as Christians to forgive one another, right? But in addition to that is, is that if we don't forgive others, no matter who we are, if we don't forgive others, God won't forgive us. And so our Pastor Judah, we always talk about this, but years ago, I mean, 10 years ago, we talked about this idea of playing the forgiveness game, you know, we came with this idea, we, Judah and Chelsea and us, and we were talking about this idea around the forgiveness game is who can ask for forgiveness first? And you have to forgive the other person. So like, let's just say that she's mad at me for whatever, whatever, whatever, and she's going back and forth, and I'm going back. And I'm like, will you forgive me?

• 11:54Speaker 02

  And she's like, yes, I have to. And she has to say it aloud, though, because it's a big piece to, I think, just life and friendship and relationships and, you know, like in partnership in life, you know, do business with somebody, you know, which marriage is really a business deal at the end of the day. You, and I'm not saying, I'm not saying in a cold way, I'm saying in a way that like, you're doing, you're sharing your finances, sharing ideas, you're sharing this, you're sharing this. You're sharing your time. And so when you're doing that, right, like, how are you, how are you thinking about that partner? How you think about that, that, that, that daily activity of it all? So to me, I think just asking for forgiveness and this and that, like, none of us are perfect, you know, anybody. But like, I think the ability to, will you forgive me for that? And like, yes.

• 12:35Keke Palmer?

  I think this is such a big thing too with, in Christianity, because I'm that, I'm always that way as well in life with friendships, forgiving, so much so that sometimes the people are, consider me passive, or, you know, you need to have harder lines, and, but it's just based off my faith. How do you guys, and this can be in your relationship, but really also like in your life and your friendships and stuff, how do you waver the balance between forgiving, but then like creating boundaries with people that maybe don't belong back in your world?

• 13:04Speaker 01

  Forgiveness is a spirit. I feel like I'm really big on not having spiritual debt.

• 13:10Speaker 01

  Right, cause spiritual debt is weight.

• 13:12Keke Palmer?

  Seriously.

• 13:12Speaker 01

  So, you know, sometimes you spend so much energy wanting to be upset with somebody or a scenario and frustrated, but that takes more energy to be mad

• 13:21Keke Palmer?

  Yes.

• 13:22Speaker 01

  about something and carry that mad energies. Now, you can be mad at the gate, but at some point, it has to come to a peaceful place.

• 13:27Keke Palmer?

  Mm-hmm.

• 13:28Speaker 01

  And I think that when people, you know, if they wrong you, or if they come with, you know, the, you know, they're not the best fit for your circle, or for your world, you kind of start to find organic ways to do it. Maybe you're not hanging out as much with the person, or, you know, or people, like, you know, you start to kind of just put those natural boundaries up because you know what happens when they're in your space, and they don't bring the right energy. But there's that line, forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.

• 13:53Keke Palmer?

  That's right.

• 13:53Speaker 01

  You know, so sometimes people have their own things, but it's like, for me, I'm so focused on joy, I'm like, I gotta protect my own peace. So let me manage what I can manage, and I can like, you know, handle people from afar, too, right?

• 14:06Keke Palmer?

  Yes.

• 14:06Speaker 01

  And also forgive them for the wrongdoing that they've done, um, for my own peace, right? And it's like, God bless them, but now I know that person can't be up in my space.

• 14:17Keke Palmer?

  Yes.

• 14:17Speaker 01

  You know, like the way they used to be.

• 14:19Keke Palmer?

  Cause that's that limited attention for them.

• 14:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, you know?

• 14:21Keke Palmer?

  And for me, too, whatever that might be, you know, that we ain't vibing no more.

• 14:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanted to go back earlier, though, babe. What were you saying about, can we go back to the wind thing?

• 14:29Speaker 02

  The which part?

• 14:30Speaker 01

  It was a good tag, it was a good tag team thing that happened this morning.

• 14:34Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, well, see, um, wind gets up, you know, and we'll split it, like, sometimes I'll get up, you know, I'll go, she'll go, whatever. And, and, um, and I'm always, I'm closest to the door, so like, I have to go answer the door, cause wind's knocking, you know, he's been there. So anyways, so...

• 14:49Speaker 01

  He's pulling up every morning, four o'clock in the morning.

• 14:51Keke Palmer?

  I love that.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, he's gotten better, though, the past three nights.

• 14:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's gotten better.

• 14:53Speaker 02

  So he wants this, like, this light in his room, and it's bright as this light in front of us. And I'm like, you can't sleep like that, it's not good for you. So anyways, he's been getting up. And so fast forward, Ciara got up today and she's going in. Wen Wen will argue with you. He'll be like.

• 15:07Keke Palmer?

  How old?

• 15:07Speaker 02

  He's five.

• 15:08Speaker 01

  He's five.

• 15:09Speaker 02

  But he will be like, I am not, I'm not going to bed. I'm not going to, I'm staying up.

• 15:12Keke Palmer?

  I'll turn the light on.

• 15:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, so he'll go over there, turn the light on, be like, hard headed. And he's like, kind of like me, because I'm hard headed too.

• 15:19Keke Palmer?

  No.

• 15:20Speaker 02

  And he'll be like, mm mm, I ain't doing it. And so, anyway, so I'm like, I'm hearing this, I'm like, nah, I'm gonna go handle this. And, and you know, he's starting to talk rude to mom a little bit, so I don't like that. Once he started talking rude to mom, I gotta, I gotta come in the room now.

• 15:33Keke Palmer?

  Aw.

• 15:33Speaker 02

  So I, but it's still like four forty-five, so I, you know, hobble my butt in there, get in there. And, and she has him in timeout, but he's still talking trash.

• 15:41Speaker 01

  I'm putting him in timeout because he's starting to do like a little operation resistance. And so I have to kind of like say, you're gonna sit down in a timeout.

• 15:49Keke Palmer?

  That's so cute.

• 15:50Speaker 01

  So then I noticed in his demeanor, I did not tell this to you, but, because at first I was like, Wen? I'm not gonna say it again. And I said that three times. I'm not gonna say it again, I said. Anyways, so that's it, we're going to timeout. And I'm talking to him, and all of a sudden I say, now send a timeout, right? And then I noticed his demeanor, he like really kind of goes like, I'm like, oh, he felt what I was saying.

• 16:10Keke Palmer?

  Okay.

• 16:11Speaker 01

  I turn around, and he's standing there like, I was like, okay, that made sense.

• 16:17Speaker 02

  I didn't say nothing, though. I let her, because I'm a big, big believer, whatever mom says goes. And.

• 16:23Keke Palmer?

  Guys, that reminds me of my parents. What you guys just described, that's how my parents would do me.

• 16:27Speaker 01

  Oh my god.

• 16:28Keke Palmer?

  Literally, that same dynamic, that vibe. When my dad came, he was always having my mom's back. I would be pissed. I'm like, I'm tired of you having her damn back. My dad was just like that, is just like that. His birthday is actually today. Happy birthday, dad. But yeah, my dad, it's, it's really important and it's special for the kids to see, I mean, it's all I know. Um, but as I've gotten older, I realize how important that is for the kids to see that unity.

• 16:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:51Keke Palmer?

  Because I, even though it made me mad as a kid, I really admired that with my parents, it just, he's got her back and she's got his back. And.

• 16:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:59Keke Palmer?

  Even if I do my little kid thing, nothing's gonna break them. They both love me, but they love each other.

• 17:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:05Keke Palmer?

  That's such a beautiful thing to see.

• 17:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, and it's also too, like, it also, again, other Bible, um, you know. Quote, talking about being childlike. The thing is, I think for us parents, or moms especially, you have like this guilt when you're trying to get your child in line. But kids have this beautiful ability to have amnesia in moments like that. Like, they, they do take on when we're disciplining them, but they turn right back to love, right? Their love doesn't just go like cold. Um, and so I think you have to remember that, that when you're disciplining them, it's actually for the better of them, right? And he actually helps me with that, especially with the boys. He's like, "Don't you let off." Because the boys can sometimes work the moms. Yeah, he's like, "Don't you let off." And I always hear that voice in my head, where I'm like, "Okay, stand firm, see, like, stand firm.

• 17:50Speaker 01

  He might be upset with you now, but he's going to appreciate you later, and he's still going to love you," you know?

• 17:55Keke Palmer?

  I've had to learn that too with my son. You know what I mean? And really just, again, I'm not, we're not men. So, I don't know how the man mind work. I don't know what the, I know how it worked in my mind, but I'm, I'm a young lady. So, it is so interesting, as you know, you become a mom of a son, and you're trying to figure out what's the way to reach them. I want to give love, and I want them to know, and I want, because you know, you see so many stories today where it's like, it was because they mama, and it's like, "I don't want to be that mama." Now, my, my son hate women, you know? But also, I want him to, I want him to have all sides of me. I want him to see that I'm soft, that I'm loving and I'm caring, but that I'm to be respected. So, that's like a, a big journey for me. Leo's three now. But I'm always, you know, asking for my advice with my parents and, and everything.

• 18:36Keke Palmer?

  Um, there's something else that I'm thinking about when I'm watching you guys talk. I used to ask my dad, like, "How do you know that, you know, when love is real?" You know, and, because, because people will say anything. Guys and girls, they say anything to each other, you know? They feel it, but emotions can be fleeting. "I love you, you mean everything to me, you're the world." He said, "You don't know it by necessarily what they say. You notice it about who you become by being with that person." And that really helped me to understand the differentiation, because I'll get in a relationship, and it's like, I'm feeling anxiety, I'm feeling concerned, I'm not, I'm acting like a version of myself that I don't like. What is the version of you guys that arisen out of your love that let you know? Okay, I'm a, I'm, I'm a me, this, this my optimized me, you know?

• 19:28Keke Palmer?

  Okay, so the road trip is happening, alright? The snacks are packed, somebody already has the playlist ready, and you already know the music is about to be popping, okay? And the kids have been asking, "Are we there yet?" Since before we left the driveway. As someone who travels by car frequently with her child, I know what will make or break that trip is what you pull up to at the end of it. Because after me and Leo have been in that car for six hours, baby, we are not trying to arrive at just anything. We want to walk into a home. And that's exactly why I like booking stays on Airbnb. When you get to a place that actually feels like somewhere you can live, the whole energy shifts. Now we have a space to spread out, a kitchen where I can throw something together if I want to, a porch where I can sit, breathe,

• 20:12Keke Palmer?

  and come back to myself after that drive. That's the reset you need. The trip doesn't end when you arrive. It's just getting started. And when you book with Airbnb, that's when the trip really begins.

• 20:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, I do feel holistically like a better woman because of him. Ah, I really do. You know, I think it's like the way that he loves me and speaks life into me. You know, it just adds more to the layer of my confidence than I already have. He just puts this extra boost of wind behind it that I'm... It's like when I'm walking, it's like a soundtrack is playing like...

• 20:51Keke Palmer?

  Come on, wind beneath my wings!

• 20:54Speaker 01

  Yo, you know, but that's it. You know? Yes, yes! He made me feel that way. Well, yeah, no, I do. I feel like a boost of confidence. Like, there's nothing better than the support that he gives me.

• 21:08Speaker 01

  It's a safe feeling, right? Because in my world, I run my world. Obviously, I'm mom, I'm all these things. But sometimes you feel vulnerable, even though you're the toughest person you have to be. You know, but when I have that in my mind, it brings me peace that he's there for me. Um, you know, I do think that my, uh, I've tried. Cause I'm a little bit of a goofy girl sometimes.

• 21:32Keke Palmer?

  Me too.

• 21:33Speaker 01

  But you know, you level up the sexy a little bit, you know, so. Cinnabar sighs, so you know, I don't.

• 21:40Keke Palmer?

  It's so funny hearing Scorpio say that. You're Scorpio, right?

• 21:42Speaker 01

  I am a Scorpio, yes.

• 21:43Keke Palmer?

  Cause Scorpios are always so sexy.

• 21:44Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh, but I'm like a goofy too, so I gotta. You know, you guys see me do the music videos and stuff, you know, and I be. And I got, okay, at home, I be like, I'm just a goofy girl sometimes. I think so. He kinda like, I will say, has made me evolve, like in that area, but I just feel like I'm constantly seeking ways to get better, like holistically, like. I was even thinking to myself, like, okay, yes, is the way he pours into me is important to me, but I have not said this to you. But this is, um, I'm saying to the world, but to you. Is like, I think about life, like life goes by so fast. And I hope that like when he looks back at life, his life as a man, that he's like,

• 22:28Speaker 01

  she showed up for me, like she loved me down, you know, the right way, like I try to, I want him to have like the best memories as possible. So I say that in my mind as well, like you have a desire to wanna just be your best. You may fall short, you know, um, sometimes I do know that, but my heart is there. And the passion is there for it to be like, I hope that when he looks back at his life and what I brought to the table, that like, I was bringing that thing, you know, so like, but his love, how he loves me makes me want to do that even more. I already want to love, but it, yeah.

• 23:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think that, um, first of all, I love that. I think, I think a big piece of it is, um, kinda what your dad was saying is they make you a better person.

• 23:13Speaker 02

  You know, I, what's crazy is, is that, you know, I was married before, you know, and I'm single.

• 23:20Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 23:20Speaker 02

  I had a whole plan.

• 23:21Keke Palmer?

  Oh, gosh. What was your plan?

• 23:23Speaker 02

  Man, my plan was good. It was a great plan. I'm twenty-three, twenty-four. I'm twenty-four years old, whatever it is. I'm just on a Super Bowl. I'm gonna be single for about ten years.

• 23:33Keke Palmer?

  Oh, man.

• 23:34Speaker 02

  You know, I'm gonna meet some friends along the way, you know, and then you're gonna marry your best friend, that whole thing.

• 23:39Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 23:39Speaker 02

  I'll be ten years, you know, and show enough about it. You're in half into my plan. I meet her, and I knew exactly when I met her. She was the one. And I think a big part of it was...

• 23:48Keke Palmer?

  What? Wait a minute, Russell, what are you saying there? What was it? Because people don't believe that. What you just talked about was like, pretty much, a version of love at first sight. How?

• 23:56Speaker 02

  It really, really was. A couple of things had happened. One, I had actually told somebody I knew before. I was like, somebody asked me, "Who do you see yourself with?" And I was like, "Hmm, I don't know." I was like, "Sierra." They were like, "She ain't gonna like you." I said, "Why?" He said, "Hmm, I don't think she gonna like you." I said, "She ain't met me yet."

• 24:16Keke Palmer?

  Okay, all right, because we're talking about she gonna like me. She don't know me.

• 24:21Speaker 02

  That was the first thing. Then, fast forward, you know, I'm kind of seeing some people. I'm just chilling, whatever, you know, ten-year window. And, and so then, fast forward, what happens is, I go to church one day on a Sunday. Sunday, I go to dinner. My pastor, we're sitting there talking. I said, "Man, I need to write my five non-negotiables." He said, "Five non-negotiables?" He said, "You said negotiables in your, in your sermon." I said, "You weren't talking about this, but I believe in marriage. Like I said earlier, marriage is a business deal. It's life. It's partnership. It's this, that, and the other." I said, "I need to write my five non-negotiables. What I want a woman. Number one is, I want a woman of faith, right, who believe in God, this and that. I want a woman who is faithful." Not just to me, but to everything she does. When she, her yes is yes, her no is no. I want a woman who is independent. Didn't have to be Sierra, but somebody had her own identity, and it wasn't just Russell's wife.

• 25:05Speaker 02

  I wanted somebody that was also, uh, someone who was similar to my mom. Yeah, you know, when my mom was, when my, my mom was helping my dad when he was on his deathbed, my dad used to always say, you know, "You're always gonna be good because your mama." And, and then I wanted somebody that would tilt the room. When they walk in the room, the whole room changes.

• 25:20Keke Palmer?

  Okay, and that's true about her.

• 25:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, so like, so those, those five things, so those five things I, I wrote down, prayed over. We prayed over that night. He said, "Why five?" I said, "Five is the number of grace." I said, "Marriage and life is about grace." So we wrote, so we wrote, we wrote five. Five of them down. And three days later, I meet Steve for the first time. And so we meet each other, fast forward, you know, like the moment I met her, what was interesting is Future was about nine months or so. And we just, it was just a bond right from the beginning. And I told her, I said, no matter if you and I ever end up together, I'm gonna make sure I look out for little man and help whatever way you need. But I knew, I knew it was gonna be like something real.

• 26:04Speaker 02

  And so, I mean, I think what's amazing, going back to the question though of like, how do you know? I think, I think life is a journey, right? You meet people along the way, you go through relationships, situations, this and that. And I think it's all a formulation of, of the imperfect ingredients of what God desires for you. And I think that ultimately, we experience life situations, people, this and that. And at some point, we, we realize, okay, well, God, what do you really have for me? And I think that, you know, in, in our situation, like, you know, being a stepdad to Future and really, you know, that's the greatest love to me. You talk about fatherhood earlier, like to me, right?

• 26:44Speaker 02

  Like to be able to raise a son as if he's your, you know, he's your own blood is the greatest gift. And to me, that's how I've always looked at how God's relationship with Jesus was and Jesus. Amen! To me, like, that's always been significant to me of how like, how we're intended to love as dads. And none of us are perfect in that sense, but just knowing that like God loves us that much. And so how, how do I love my kids and not, not just Future, but you know, Wynne and Sienna and Amora? And so I think that's a big piece of it for me too, is um, being able to share that, uh, you know, as, as, as family. And I think, and like I said, I think love's a journey, you know? It's like, are you, are you up for the journey of, you know, of life? You know, it's a long, long time.

• 27:30Speaker 02

  You know, we're talking about, you know, like, you know, I'm 37 years old, she's 27.

• 27:37Keke Palmer?

  Okay, listen, let's just keep it real. I am a Q, yeah.

• 27:40Speaker 02

  Yeah. And so like when you think about that like, you know, I think that like, life goes through its, like I said earlier, goes through its journeys and I think, I think the most significant piece to it all is is that, you know, you being able to lift the other, the other person up. When I'm on my low, she lift me up. When she's at her low, I lift her up and vice versa. And hopefully we're at our, our, our all time highs all the time, but that's just not life. So like, how do we continue to do that all the time? And so I think also too, like the purpose of, you know, responsibility, I think God's given us so much.

• 28:12Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 28:12Speaker 02

  In terms of who she is in the world, in the music world, and me in sports, this and that, but to do it together, I think being two young, black, you know, boy and girl from Richmond, Virginia, from, from Atlanta, Georgia, when you think about it all, like how our worlds collided in such a way. And I think when those worlds collide, um, there's a, an amazing responsibility and joy to that. And I think that's the part that you're always, you know, learning and growing and fighting for and doing. And I think that's the piece that, that makes it unique in itself.

• 28:47Keke Palmer?

  You guys carry it with so much grace. It's very much king and queen. And it's a beautiful thing to see. When you had the video recently, taking Future to look at the school. I mean, we all, the whole internet, we was just going up. Cause just to see that vibe and just to see so young, so early, I started thinking to myself, when the hell Future went to college? It's like, you know what I mean? But it's like, we started.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  You might be 12.

• 29:08Keke Palmer?

  You know what I mean? Like, that's crazy. 12 years old and already creating these experiences. But there's another side to it, right? You guys are public figures. You already get enough, uh, you know, being a quarterback and, I mean, one of the best.

• 29:20Speaker 02

  I, I listen, I get a lot of love, I get a lot of hate.

• 29:23Keke Palmer?

  You get a lot of luck, you get a lot of, a lot of love, a lot of hate. You too, as a, I mean, you've been in the game since you was a teenager. You get a lot of love, you get a lot, there's a lot to deal with on your own. Now you put your, your, I mean, there's nothing more intimate than that you and your, the love of your life on Front Street together and having to deal with not just your separate, you know, public stuff, but whatever people gotta say about your love. How do you have the stamina to withstand that and still also, like I said, be willing to put yourselves out there and say this, we want to represent love.

• 29:52Speaker 01

  You can't pay these folks no mind. You can't give, like, I mean, I think you have to know if you're gonna be in the public, like, it's gonna come with, like, you know, the ebbs and flows. It's gonna come with, it's not gonna all be positive and perfect, right? So I think when you understand that, I think that just helps you to set, like, set the found, the floor, you know, to have, you just, you know, it just helps you to do that. Um, so I, I think that's, you got, we live life for each other. We live life for God and for Jesus, first and foremost. And we live life for each other. And I think that so long as we're doing that, cause we're human, just like everybody else, right? You know, trying to find our way. No, we're not perfect, but you know, we're doing our best. And so that, I think that's the most important thing of all. You know, this world is so mad right now.

• 30:37Speaker 01

  People have so many opinions. People have so many things to say about someone else's life. It's like, just, I, we just got, for me, it's like, I just wanna focus on my life and my love and what we're building and with our family and our kids and seeing them grow. I want to have, like, the best peace in my mind possible. So I think, you know, with focusing on that, it allows you not to, like, think too much into everything that someone has to say or really care about someone, what someone has to say, right? Cause I think the greatest thing, like, you know, you said, like, you know, they may love you and they hate you, you know, but the greater your great, the more they hate. So, you know, the more they talk about you, lets you know that there, there's some importance to,

• 31:20Keke Palmer?

  Absolutely.

• 31:20Speaker 01

  You know, to why they wanna talk about, so you can't pay that stuff any mind. You just have to live, like, I wanna live life to the fullest, like, I wanna, like I said, I wanna look back and know, like, for the both of us, like, that we really live together, like, you know, we're building a legacy together. And I think when you're trying to do something as great as we're trying to, holistically, as humans, as husband and wife, as mother and father, parents, you just, you don't, you have time to only focus on that.

• 31:48Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 31:49Speaker 01

  You know?

• 31:49Keke Palmer?

  I feel like that is such a, like, disciplined mindset. And it makes me think about, even though, you know, obviously people know you're a dancer. I, you know, you've mentioned that you did sports in high school and stuff. Obviously, you are, you know, Russell. Um, how much do you guys relate on some of those principles that I think athletes have? Like, discipline and focus and just all the things you name. You both have such a level of confidence that I think is directly connected to some of those principles. When you met, how soon did that become established? Like, oh, we both, like, game time.

• 32:19Speaker 02

  I, I would say right away, I think the biggest thing, um, Is, I think the thing that she does amazing that I've always admired more than anything else is, one, how she works. Like, her work ethic is crazy. Like, watching her, I remember going to studios late night, I don't know if you remember this, but we went, I took you to, um, I was about to take you out to dinner, and I, I went to go see her, you know, rehearse, I snuck in, you know, and, uh, you know, low key, and I'm sitting in the back corner watching her for like, two and a half, three hours. And then afterwards, I was excited, I was like, I'm gonna take her to dinner, you know. So, we hop in the car, and we're trying to find a spot, we're in LA. Yes! I'm with y'all in the car right now. Yeah, yeah, we, we whipping it. Uh, actually, we pulled up to this one spot, and we're like,

• 33:03Speaker 02

  she's like, "I wanna go in," and I'm like, "Why?" She's like, "Mm, somebody in there, I wanna see." So, I was like, "All right." But it wasn't like that. It wasn't like that. It wasn't like that, it was just like, mm. So then, we were like, "All right, so cool." So, we, we pulled up to this, um, to this other spot, this, you know, hotel in Santa Monica, basically, and they had a little restaurant, and I was like, "Hey," like, I went inside, and I said, "Hey, can you guys dim the lights?" They're like, "Why not dim the lights?" I said, "Yeah, just dim the lights." He's like, "Yes, sir, Mr. Wilson, oh, dim the lights." Oh, kick forward, Mr. Wilson. We go in the front, and we sit in the corner, and that was one of our first dates, and we started talking about, you know, like, what, what life really is, and what you really want, and what you desire, and, you know, all those different things, and we talked about our bucket list, and starting our foundation, different things that we wanna do one day, if it became real.

• 33:47Speaker 02

  And it was becoming real quickly, but I think, what was interesting is, though, is, to me, I think a big piece of it was the same energy and same focus level to wanna be great in, in something, you know, and I think that passion was, was evident. And, "How can I support you? How can you support me?" That's, the other thing I think we do really well is, when it's her, when it's her time to shine, um, I, I can sit there and be in the background, I can also be right next to her, whatever, vice versa, and I think we do that with just great joy. And that's that's unique in itself.

• 34:20Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 34:21Speaker 02

  But I think going back to some of the things you said earlier is like, how do you make it all work? I think what is so different, and we talked about this too on one of our first dates, is like having an old school kind of love. Because like, old school to me mean like, you see marriages last fifty, sixty plus years. Nowadays, they only last two days. I think I think that's true. And so like, a big part of it is, I think, is when I think, look back on on just old school love in general, we didn't have social media, we didn't have all these different things to distract us. And I think that's the hard part of today. It's just the constant, you know, the constant pinging on your phone, the constant this and that, which we talk about all the time, because she's busy, I'm busy.

• 35:05Speaker 02

  And when we're both busy, like, I got work, she's got work, I I'm free now, and she's got to send emails. Or like, you know, we went on a trip to Africa, I'm like, I came all the way out here, but you were sending emails. And I'm like, what are you talking about? So like, I mean, but my point is that those are real things, those are real issues.

• 35:20Keke Palmer?

  The shade of it all.

• 35:21Speaker 02

  But but my point is, but my point is, is that like, we get so busy, but how can you stay focused on each other? I think that's the hardest hardest part. And you add social media, people talking about you too. And just the career, the things you're doing, and do they love it, do they hate it, this, that? And that gets challenging, so that's where I think the kids piece of it, like, I want I want my kids to say, Mom and Dad, they they fought for each other, they did it for each other. I think they did it for us. I want, you know, Amora and Sienna to look up to me.

• 35:51Keke Palmer?

  Yes.

• 35:51Speaker 02

  And be like, man, my dad was, you know, he wasn't perfect, but man, he loved, he gave it all to me, you know, when he could, you know, my my son, when and you know, future as well, it's like, you know, I want them to be inspired by me, how I worked and how I went about it. And I know they feel that about Mom. That's what like, Mom, Mom, Mom, as soon as she runs in the door, from being on tour or doing whatever. And they fly and jump in the air to her. And so like, my point is, I think that piece of it is the significant piece as well.

• 36:20Keke Palmer?

  I mean, I have to call out Why Not You Productions, which you guys just did, Sarah's well, congratulations on that. And then Why Not You, your foundation. It's just so crazy, because the theme of manifestation always comes up in when people are talking about your relationship. And just looking at the fact that your first date, you were speaking about those things and they happened. Or what you had with the five, you know, negotiables and it's, you know, so how do you? Because manifestation, I think. It doesn't always look the way that we think it's gonna look. So when somebody is talking about manifesting their world or their life, their partner, what do you think is important for them to remember along that? Because I'm sure maybe things have changed along the way. How did you, you know, how do you make your mind wrapped around this has happened for me, even though it looks different?

• 37:10Keke Palmer?

  I need everybody to hear me clearly. You do not need a milestone to enjoy yourself. I said what I said. Society has us out here waiting for promotions, engagements, and New Year's Eve to twist open something nice. Meanwhile, I'm over here with a chilled glass of Stella Rosa Black because I remembered to water my plants three days in a row. That's growth, literally. And the flavor, sweet, smooth, rich, bold, deep berry, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, all sitting together like a Real Housewives reunion where everybody kept their glass in their hand. This is wine for everyone 21 and up who understands that sometimes a celebration is the random

• 37:52Keke Palmer?

  Wednesday, or the quiet night in, or the I finished my laundry and put it all away in one day victory lap. You are the occasion, so please act accordingly. Head to stellarosa.com to find your favorite flavor. Your next occasion, which is literally whenever you decide, is already taken care of because, baby, this is Stella Rosa. And please, please, please, drink responsibly.

• 38:20Keke Palmer?

  Let me walk you through my Tuesday. I woke up and immediately had to decide what to wear to a meeting, what to feed my son, whether I'm taking the call from my car or rescheduling, and it's not even 8:00 a.m. yet. By noon, I've made 100 decisions and I'm already over it. So the things in my life that don't require me to think, those are sacred. That's exactly what Fruit of the Loom Women's Underwear is for me. I open the drawer, I grab a pair, and I already know it's going to be comfortable and fit right. There's no guessing, no adjusting, no let me try another pair moment. It just works. When your whole day is full of decisions that actually need your energy, having that kind of simplicity in your routine creates real peace of mind. And trust me, that feels really, really good.

• 39:05Keke Palmer?

  Fruit of the Loom proves that simple feels really good.

• 39:11Speaker 01

  Well, manifestation, from my perspective, and babe, I'd love to know what you think about this, but manifestation can really be literal. You feel like that? 100%. So, a lot of the things that have happened in my life, you know, not only the good, but also the bad, right? Sure. You can, there's life and death in the tongue. So, when you speak, my perspective, when you speak, you gotta say great things. So, you have to speak life. So, you know, your dreams can happen for you, whether it's career goals, personal goals. It's so crazy, years ago, I'm in an interview talking about I wanted to have five kids. Now, we only have four.

• 39:50Speaker 02

  She's manifesting.

• 39:51Keke Palmer?

  Well, it's too late, you already said it, literally, so see you next year.

• 39:54Speaker 01

  No, but I think about like, the power of the tongue, right? Of like, the things that I've envisioned in my life, literally down to the label I wanted to be signed to when I first began. You know, down to me having a goal sheet at 13, 14 years old, saying my first goal, I want to get discovered. My second goal was, once I got discovered, I wanted to sell three to four million albums. What? My third goal was to have longevity. And now, I sit here talking to you 21 years later, since my first album, Goodies, right? Come on, my goodies, not my goodies. That's so silly. So, you know, there's, there's so much power, like, manifestation is real. Yeah, yeah. You can literally like, that's why I think for us with the why not you mentality,

• 40:39Speaker 01

  like, you really have to tap into that, because why not you? Like, why not you be able to go and live the life that you want to? And, you know, have the love that you want to, but also accomplish the goals you want to in your career? You know, what do you want for yourself, like, as an entrepreneur? Like, you're a boss, like, you're doing so great out here, like, you know, but I feel like you're a why not you kind of girl, like, just watching your journey, like, having that mentality, and writing down the things you want to happen, you know, visualizing them first, and be clear, don't be unrealistic about your vision either, like, we have to do things that we know we can actually do and be great at. But, once you visualize it, start to write it down, there's something.

• 41:20Speaker 01

  That's very magical, but also real and synergistic that happens when you go from vision to writing it down. To speaking life into it, to praying over it, where it starts to materialize. So I'm like, I have to remind myself even along the way, especially when times get tough. Why not you see like, why not you, this is the same philosophy, the same way it's been since day one like. So you have to remind yourself of that. And then before you know it, you look up and you're leveling up again in whatever way you desire. So manifestation is really real.

• 41:54Keke Palmer?

  Yes.

• 41:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think manifestation is is is critical to success. I think it's the most important thing to me, in my opinion. Obviously, the physical attributes of athlete, as you talked about earlier a little bit, but like. In terms of life, love, marriage, relationships, success financially, overcoming obstacles. Um, you know, like a lot of it, like we go to the children's hospital, you know, every Tuesday and stuff like that a lot of times. And when you go to the children's hospital, it's interesting because the observation is is that we've seen, I don't know, three or three thousand plus kids. And what's amazing, there's this kid um that I saw the other day. And man, he is the, he is the direct reflection of of of manifestation. I've seen him, I don't know, probably fifteen times this year alone.

• 42:39Speaker 02

  Uh, his name's Avery and had cancer, has been battling even. Uh, and every time I walk in the room, he gets just so excited. Like when I say so excited, he is like this most excited, you know, kid ever. And he just leans on me, hugs me, he's like, man, I knew you were coming back, I knew you were coming back. You know, he's just so excited and I think a big piece of that is his manifestation of of of joy. Right? And we all have, and this guy's got cancer, he's on his deathbed, basically, you know, he's gone all through so much chemo. He, his mom was telling me the other day um that, you know, he he had pneumonia, he had this, he's been battling. Like they didn't know if he was gonna make it, but it just his amount of joy. So a big piece of manifestation is actually our words and what we say to ourselves internally.

• 43:24Speaker 02

  There's a great book called The Inner Game of Tenants that we talk about. We, me and me and my brother and my old mentor, Coach Trevor Moat, we started coming. We call it limitless minds. We literally talk about the greatest athletes in the world, the greatest business leaders in the world. Come on. They they're able to, yes, positivity works, right? We know that. But what we know works a hundred percent of the time is negativity. Yeah. And so when we speak negative things, it works a hundred percent of the time negatively. And so what we talk about is idea around neutral thinking, okay, speaking the truth, okay, this is what I'm going through. It could be great. It could be tough, right? If you have cancer, right? My my old mental coach who'd passed away of cancer, he he was amazing guy, and he's always like. And he used to always say, you know, you don't have to be sick to get better. And a big piece of that is is that the reality is is that when you get diagnosed with cancer at noon on a Tuesday.

• 44:10Speaker 02

  Okay, at ten AM, you just had the greatest amount of your best day, right? And you you you're feeling good, but you're going to the doctors. At ten AM, you know, you didn't know you had cancer, you felt great. So now when you get this diagnosed, this he always called the C word. He said, I'm I'm gonna beat the C word. And it may it may it may end my life, right? It may end my life, but it's not gonna beat me. And so I think the big piece of it is is that in life, our mindset, our mentality, the things we go through, the struggles. You know, all the things that we we we battle, manifesting love, manifesting your next job opportunity, manifesting the goodness that you manifest and just I'm gonna get through today is something that I think is a critical piece to it. And so

• 44:50Speaker 02

  I I believe it's like, um, you know, we always talk about this idea, but the really simple thought of going on a negativity diet. Like, I'm gonna get away from negativity, what I say, what we say, what we say to each other, what we say to friends, what we say to, you know, how do we uplift? And I I just wanna be in a space of just like of of of good, just like joy and uplifting and I think I have to remind myself of that even, you know, cuz I'm I'm a beat positive, energetic guy in general, but it's like, you know, you going through, you know, this, you're going through that. And it's like, okay, catch that mojo and be around the right people that are gonna speak life to you. And and I just think that like, write it out. Like Happy Kik two two, it says, write it out plain so you can see it so they can run to it. So write it out, like, what is what is you're looking for?

• 45:33Speaker 02

  And a and a and a girl and a and a man, whatever it is, what are you looking for for your job? What are you looking for for this? Right? What are you looking for the? And most important, what are you looking for for you? And that's the whole mentality around why not you is this idea. My my mom, my dad, uh, Sierra's parents, he's always asked us, you know, why not you? Why not you when we were young kids? And my dad used to always. Encourage rather than discourage. He used to always paint a picture of when I'm eight years old. And Russ, you're 25 years old. What are you doing in life? And I had to paint that picture. And the picture wasn't big enough. He'd be like, "Son, that's not good enough. We can go bigger." And so I had to retell that story. So, part of having this "Why Not You?" attitude and why we started Why Not You Foundation and why we've been just seeing kids and you know, we had a year this year, we did our three brand Youth Athlete of the Year race. I don't know, 21.6 million this year.

• 46:18Keke Palmer?

  Oh, wow!

• 46:18Speaker 02

  We gave half of it to the B Foundation, which is pretty cool. We're on the board of that. And what's amazing-

• 46:23Keke Palmer?

  Incredible.

• 46:23Speaker 02

  But what's amazing about that, not the number. What's amazing about it is the lives and the belief that, you know what? We can overcome anything. We can do it together. And so we do things together. When the world decides to come and people come together, teammates or friends or whatever, when we come together, anything's possible. And so I think ultimately it's just, you know, celebrating this mentality of "Why Not You?" Because subconsciously or consciously, at some point in our lives, we have to ask ourselves that question. And I think that's the big, most significant piece. And, you know, "Why Not Us?"

• 46:53Keke Palmer?

  Have you ever studied, um, life coaching or did anything, like, any things like that?

• 46:59Speaker 02

  I've lived life. I've lived a lot of it. I've been on the highest of the mountains, some in the valley. And I think when you're in that and you understand, like, over the past few years for me and my career, you know, I was on the mountaintop for 10-plus years, you know? Somebody asked me the other day, I was talking to a friend, and he was like, "Man, where are you at in the world right now?" You know, my boy B Marsh. And he was like, he was like, "Well, you know, football is..." And I said, "Man, I feel like I'm in a 16-round fight. I've won 11 rounds. Maybe I, maybe I haven't won in the past few. It doesn't mean I'm not gonna win 15 and 16." But that's gotta be my mentality, you know? And I think that's a big piece to it, knowing you, knowing what you're trusting in, and knowing that God's got great things. And I think that's because I get surrounded around amazing people and amazing thoughts and just believing ultimately in you. And so I think that we just gotta surround ourselves.

• 47:43Speaker 02

  And listen, everybody's life's different. We've all been challenged. There's adversities coming. We do know that for all of us. And so how do we handle it? And how do we go about it? And a big piece of it is how we speak to our own internal self. And your own internal dialogue, your own internal ad? Like, think about, think about an ad, right? We have our kids' line, "Three Brand," right? We, our ad is "Mind, Body, Soul" for the kids, right? That's what we're focused on. "Mind, Body, Soul."

• 48:09Keke Palmer?

  Yep.

• 48:09Speaker 02

  Great apparel is in that. But the idea is like- Then today, no matter how good it looks like, like how good the apparel is, like I want my the kid's mind to be like, I'm a winner. I walk on that field, I put that three brand on, I feel great. So it's the same idea of like, what's your own internal ad, Kiki?

• 48:24Keke Palmer?

  Yes.

• 48:25Speaker 02

  You know what I'm saying? Like, how are you speaking to yourself? And your internal ads gotta be better than anybody else can pitch.

• 48:30Keke Palmer?

  I mean, this concept of distilling the mindset has been something that I've been so focused on as I've gotten older and my platform has grown bigger and trying to do things with KTV network and how do I, you know, how do I tell people what's make? Cause really, it ain't no different. It's this. It's what I got in my heart and my soul that makes me believe that I can achieve. So this concept of distilling the mindset, I'm telling you, man, since I was five years old, something bad would come into my mind. I'd be like, that's not me.

• 48:57Speaker 02

  Hmm, that's good.

• 48:58Keke Palmer?

  I would just say that to myself. I don't know why I would do that, but it's like a negative thing would come up and I would say, that's not the real me.

• 49:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 49:05Keke Palmer?

  Cause I didn't choose that.

• 49:06Speaker 02

  You know, you know what's good about that too is the idea of speaking life into it, but also speaking out of existence.

• 49:12Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 49:12Speaker 02

  Because like, part of it is, like, we talk about the idea of speak life, right? Like, that's speaking positivity, that's speaking good things, this and that. But also, it's also killing a piece of thing, something that's negative. Right? The ability to shoot it down quickly, like, how fast can you get to that? And you know what? The brain is a muscle. So like,

• 49:30Keke Palmer?

  Okay.

• 49:30Speaker 02

  We have to train it. And I think we all struggle. We all have highs, lows, this, that, I'll have great days, some bad days, some, you know, we're all, there's 8.5 billion people in the world. We all have a brain. So how do we, how do we process, how do we use it? And so a big piece of it is, is that we're all gonna face struggles. And a big, big point, I think the biggest thing where the devil tries to trick us, is that we can't improve it.

• 49:52Keke Palmer?

  Right.

• 49:52Speaker 02

  And that's our own internal dialogue. That's not really, that's not really us, that's not really us. That's just this backwards, you know, thought back here, somebody on our shoulder, like, ah, you can't, you can't fix that. You can't.

• 50:02Keke Palmer?

  Get out, Jiminy Cricket.

• 50:03Speaker 02

  And I think the biggest thing is, is talking to them. Talking to that shoulder that's like, negative and be like, nope, that's not, that's not me. Like you just said, like, that's not who I am. That's not who I'm going to be. And you know what? It may be, it may have been you. Right, like part of it may have been you.

• 50:19Keke Palmer?

  Yep.

• 50:19Speaker 02

  But it doesn't mean I'm not gonna be that next. And so, y'all need to start out, you know, you need to do your idea on why not her. Uh, Cher's got a huge idea on why not her conference, this and that, y'all need to.

• 50:29Keke Palmer?

  Girl, I'm down for the conference.

• 50:30Speaker 02

  Listen, I'm just saying.

• 50:31Keke Palmer?

  Why not her? Girl, please.

• 50:33Speaker 02

  I'm just saying, but like speaking of life.

• 50:34Keke Palmer?

  We done said it.

• 50:35Speaker 01

  I love that, right here.

• 50:36Keke Palmer?

  We done said it? So it's happening because anything that involves pushing us forward. And that's why I say what I love with you guys do, you talk about partnership, your brand, who you are as people, but who you're being as a couple.

• 50:47Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:47Keke Palmer?

  Like, I wanna, those are the things that matter to me, you know what I'm saying? Also, congra-, you spoke about, uh, Three Brand, but I also wanna talk about, you're the co-founder of Frosh.

• 50:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:55Keke Palmer?

  Which is the new family drink that has protein in it, girl. You know the protein we're dying for right now.

• 50:59Speaker 01

  Yes, so, yeah, we are, and our kids. So I have this actually in my bag right here.

• 51:04Keke Palmer?

  Oh, and G.

• 51:05Speaker 01

  Fresh out the.

• 51:06Speaker 02

  What's been so cool about it too is we've been focused on.

• 51:09Speaker 01

  This is Frosh.

• 51:10Keke Palmer?

  Come on, Frosh!

• 51:11Speaker 02

  So good.

• 51:11Keke Palmer?

  About to get this to the baby, I'm gonna drink this one though.

• 51:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, this is really good. So, we have Frosh, it's, um, the first ever kids protein juice in a box, okay?

• 51:22Keke Palmer?

  Oh my gosh.

• 51:23Speaker 01

  So us moms, we want our kids to get the protein, and unfortunately, kids be fighting, they don't wanna eat that chicken.

• 51:28Keke Palmer?

  They don't, they really don't.

• 51:29Speaker 01

  They don't wanna eat that steak, they don't wanna eat that meat. Isn't it good?

• 51:32Keke Palmer?

  Oh, it tastes really good. It's literally, is it like apple juice?

• 51:34Speaker 01

  This is Tropic Blast that you're drinking right now.

• 51:37Keke Palmer?

  Hmm.

• 51:37Speaker 01

  It's so good, right?

• 51:38Keke Palmer?

  This is delicious, guys. How much protein does it have in here?

• 51:41Speaker 01

  So you have five grams of protein.

• 51:42Speaker 02

  But you know those kids, they be drinking two, they be drinking two of those bottles quick.

• 51:46Keke Palmer?

  It's not added sugar.

• 51:47Speaker 01

  You got low sugar as well, yep, all natural.

• 51:49Keke Palmer?

  Delicious, guys.

• 51:50Speaker 01

  Um, and so.

• 51:51Keke Palmer?

  This is good.

• 51:52Speaker 01

  No, it's exciting because us moms and dads.

• 51:56Keke Palmer?

  Very good drink.

• 51:57Speaker 01

  You know, we need our kids to like get that protein consumption and, um, you know, we want that, but the kids want the taste. So you get the best of both worlds in Frosh, and we'll be in all Target doors in May.

• 52:07Keke Palmer?

  Yeah.

• 52:07Speaker 01

  So I'm excited about that, yeah.

• 52:09Keke Palmer?

  But I love that, I love all the intentionality behind everything you guys do, from why not you, to Frosh, to Three Brand, the intentional health mind, lifestyle.

• 52:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:18Keke Palmer?

  That's the vibe, man.

• 52:19Speaker 02

  I think our big thing is just focus on the youth, you know, and really, you know, the family aspect of it, you know, like I think, Sierra. With Frosh, because I thought it was a genius idea, I'm like, you know, it's a great idea.

• 52:30Speaker 01

  He was always singing about kids need protein in their drinks, like, and kids would try to grab ours.

• 52:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, because the kids play game, like, they need protein right away. That's what athletes do. Why don't kids have it, right? And so Frosh and her great partners and all that, and she just, she's been crushing this, so I think it's gonna be massive, really cool, fun for the kids. But then also too, we've done three brands, you talked about earlier, our apparel line, Mind Body Soul, it's been really amazing. We kinda started from scratch, hand drew the logo.

• 52:59Keke Palmer?

  Well, y'all know Call Baby Leo.

• 53:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, we got clothes for you.

• 53:02Keke Palmer?

  He's available, he's available.

  Yeah, come on now, say less. Oh, we making deals on Keke Palmer.

  Yeah, for sure.

• 53:09Speaker 01

  Got it going.

• 53:10Keke Palmer?

  I know I gotta let you guys go soon, but this is like probably the most important piece of the interview, what I'm about to ask right now.

• 53:18Keke Palmer?

  I heard y'all are good at matchmaking.

• 53:22Speaker 02

• 1:01:46Keke Palmer?

  Girl, thanks my partner! You know, guys, listening to Ciara and Russell, it is clear that love isn't just something you find. It's something you choose and something you build over time. And how you show up, how you support each other, how you grow, and what you create together. And I think that's the real takeaway. Whether it's love, family, or legacy, it's not just about finding it. It's about what it takes to make it last. I thank you guys so much for sharing that with us. And to everybody watching, don't forget, you deserve a love that's aligned, a life that's intentional, and something that truly lasts. See you next time on Baby, this is Kiki.
