 Oh crap, there's a venture capitalist. Oh my God, he's running free. Paul is not gonna get you into sugar and chocolate. I love danger. These are fancy as hell. It's not gonna happen. Hi, my name is Jonathan Graziano. This is Noodle, and this is Tools of the Trade, a show produced by GoDaddy about what goes into being a successful entrepreneur outside of the hustle and the hard work and the sleepless nights and the ramen in the microwave. But we reached out to a slew of entrepreneurs and asked them, what are the individual items that you need to get through a day? So for example, in my box, I would put chapstick. Because I can't live without it. This box belongs to Jackie Sorkin. So for those of you who don't know, Jackie Sorkin is the Candy Queen. You might know her from her TLC show, Candy Queen. You also might know her as the founder and CEO of Candytopia. I like to know the little things in between. Anyway, this is the box that we got. It is covered in this side up and fragile stickers, which excite me for two reasons. One, I love danger. And two, I kind of love the idea that Jackie just sent us a box of glass. Okay, so Noodle could not be more excited. Are these AirPods? Jackie? Well, oh my God, he's running free. You know why he goes to this first? Because they're expensive. That's why he goes there first. He truly is the fruit of my loom. If there's anything that I can sort of project from this, it's if you are working, if you are hard at work building a candy empire, you've either got to have the right music in your, as I'm thinking, Abba. Or maybe some 90s Britney, right? Oops, I did it again. I made another licorice wall, that kind of thing. So this is a fantastic item for anyone to have. They have many purposes. And these are fancy as hell. So kudos to whoever got these. I will be going home with these. So the very next item we have in the Jackie's working box is, oh my God, what am I gonna pick? You know what I'm gonna pick? The candy. Hold on, you are absolutely out of luck. None of this is for you. So obviously she's the candy queen. So you gotta have some sweets around. You paw is not gonna get you into sugar and chocolate. It's not gonna happen. She's the candy queen. She's obviously gotta have some sweets on her, if anything, just to be able to identify herself. I can imagine that this kind of acts as a quasi dog tag for her. But this I really love, because not only does this speak to her, inherent dedication to candy and sweets, but it speaks to her dedication to whimsy. Oh, it's candy in resin, like amber, like a dinosaur. They found it in the mines of Arizona, and I'm going to drape it on Noodle's neck now, if we can ever find it. Yeah, so once again, the candy queen is nothing, if not dedicated to her craft. But any entrepreneur needs a little pick-me-up throughout the day. Well, imagine you get off a three-hour conference call with someone you just don't wanna be talking to. Bam! Dark chocolate. What does it do? Puts a bandaid on the wound and fixes the day. At least that's what I use for, as a crutch. So, the next item we have in this box, first of all, I can't get over how much candy that was, is a moleskin. So this is a really sensible thing for absolutely anyone to have. I know I have mine and I love it. Noodle has his and we're working on literacy, but as soon as we get there, he's gonna love his too. And what's great about this is not only that you can jot down business ideas or anything that inspires you, but you can use this as an ideas pad, right? This is something where you can use for dreaming. This is something where you can put challenges to yourself. I can imagine that she puts a lot of good use into her moleskin and you could even plan your day. Okay, okay, so the next thing that we've got in the box is various lip smacker lip glosses. I'm just trying to find my favorite flavor. We've got Tropical Punch, Watermelon, Cotton Candy, Spun Sugar, and Strawberry. So I'm assuming Spun Sugar is the winner here, but what I like about this, you never know who you're gonna run into, right? You never know when you're walking down the street with those crusty lips and you go, oh crap, there's a venture capitalist. I better spin sugar on these babies. And then you're ready to make a deal. I think it's always nice to have sort of a vanity item that makes you feel comfortable, right? Like, for example, I have my moisturizer that I don't go anywhere with. And again, I know you're looking at this, you're going, oh my God, he doesn't have a pore on his face. And I'll tell you, it's because I spend a lot of money on skincare. And this is adjacent to that, right? It's an idea that you really wanna invest in yourself. If you're gonna be investing in a business, in your business, don't forget to invest in yourself as well. Okay, and the last item in the Jackie Sorkin box is, it's a magic eight ball. I'm gonna open this, can I open this? Oh, oh, this is a magic, oh, you don't shake it. You don't shake this one. You push the eight in and it rotates through them. Okay, wait, okay, wait, I figured this out. All right, I love this. Okay, so, okay, so, am I a candy queen? Don't count on it. Okay, is noodle the best dog in the world? Don't count on it. You gotta pick it up, dude. Okay, is this video series the best thing ever to hit the internet? It is decidedly so. I think this is more than anything, this is just a fun reminder that you don't know anything for sure. Most replies are hazy in a lot of ways, especially with business. So, that was the Jackie Sorkin box and I don't know about you guys but I am feeling wildly inspired. So I hope that you guys were able to find some inspiration from this as well. What we love about Jackie and more than anything at GoDaddy, what we love about these everyday entrepreneurs is that they do achieve incredible things but they're able to do it by just being people. They've got the hustle, they've got the grind, they've got the hard work but they also have their lip gloss and they have the things that they need to get through their day.
