Coco and Breezy discuss their journey from Afro Latina twins in Minnesota to successful eyewear designers and meditative house music artists, emphasizing the importance of maintaining integrity, trusting intuition, and balancing persistence with surrender. They share specific strategies for navigating fame, such as rejecting lucrative but misaligned opportunities (like working for Prince) and using spiritual practices to maintain grounding in the male-dominated DJ industry.
Key takeaways 5
Integrity over immediate financial gain: The duo declined an offer to be Prince's creative directors because it would have compromised their independence and slowed their eyewear company's growth, eventually leading to a more authentic collaboration on the 'Third Eye' glasses.
Spiritual grounding in high-pressure environments: They incorporate sound healing and guided meditation into their tour schedule (e.g., LA show) to create a holistic experience, making spiritual concepts accessible without requiring fans to understand specific terminology like 'mantra' or 'grounding'.
Reframing adversity: They view past bullying and lack of resources as necessary for growth, interpreting stares from others as seeing their 'light' before they saw it themselves, which helped them build resilience.
Financial stability timeline: Despite early success, they did not achieve financial stability until approximately five years ago, highlighting that their success was slow and steady rather than rapid.
Handling online negativity with kindness: When a fan mistakenly accused them of having a male DJ mix for them, they responded with kindness and an invitation to see the truth, which resulted in the fan apologizing and reflecting on his own judgmental behavior.
