Episode Transcription

Mick Hunt: Your because is that thing that’s like, alright. I gotta get up and still do it. What’s Christy’s because?

Christy Buss: I wanna make my bed in the morning every day, and it’s because I have this ability to make sure that everything can get done the way it should be.

Mick Hunt: Everyone thinks entrepreneurship is easy.

Christy Buss: Exactly. Entrepreneurship is not easy. It’s nice to be your own boss, but at the same time, you never stop 247.

Mick Hunt: Whether you’re a CEO and it’s like, how do I take that next step? Or even in your personal life, and it’s like, I’ve had consecutive bad days. What’s some advice that you have for people?

Christy Buss: You just think things are gonna go a certain way, and when they don’t, you have to understand there’s always a reason why, and we don’t wanna really accept that reason. But we can take that of what we feel and maybe not feeling good about it and find a way to overcome what you didn’t think was gonna happen and make yourself better.

Mick Hunt: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of Mick Unplugged. And today, we have a freaking superstar, one of my favorite people in the world. She’s a powerhouse who knows how to combine art, leadership, and heart, inspiring those around her with everything she does. We’re talking about from the stage to the boardroom. She’s created her own rhythm in life.

Let’s get ready to hear the incredible insights and stories from the fearless, the visionary, the resilient, the captivating, my friend, miss Christi Buss. Christi, how are you doing today, baby?

Christy Buss: Oh my gosh. That was so nice of you. Thank you so much. Wow. That put me, like, in a good mood.

Mick Hunt: No. Thank you. You are one of my favorite people in the world. I’ve been a huge follower and fan of yours on Instagram. Like, you’re always pushing out positivity, some creativity, and some fun as well too.

Like, that’s one of the things I wanna talk about. Like, I didn’t know Christy was such a funny person.

Christy Buss: Well, I can be funny. One of my favorite, funniness of just without me even knowing it was being on the Jimmy Kimmel. Like, I had no idea I was I got picked to do this, and I didn’t really know exactly what it was for. But, boy, when I was there and did this the script and everything, it was hilarious. So everybody thought that was pretty fun.

So that was Yeah. That was exciting.

Mick Hunt: You know, you’ve had such an illustrious career. You have an amazing impact, you know, CEO, founder, dancer, choreographer. Like, I don’t know if there’s anything that Christy doesn’t do. Right? But, you know, I’ll make unplug, Christy.

I like going into your because. That thing that’s deeper than your why. That thing that motivates you every day when life kicks you in the butt. Your because is that thing that’s like, alright. I gotta get up and still do it.

I would love to know what’s Christie’s because.

Christy Buss: Wow. That’s interesting. I just, had this huge celebration of my viewing Sizzle Reel because it’s about my life. Right? And it’s something that I wanna cherishly get done because of the things that I’ve done since I actually won this contest called the All American Woman in 1979.

And it’s so different now what the All American Woman is today. Right? So and I was crowned the 1st and only All American Woman. And what does that mean to me now after 46 years? Well, you’re asking me the because.

Right? And so I had a very special person who’s an amazing comedian, but she’s an amazing storyteller. So she actually we met like 4 or 5 times to get my story out through me telling her and then her explaining my story versus it being myself. And somehow, some way, this word called the runner came out. The word runner.

And that’s something that within my family, I was always the one to make sure that everything got done. If the if the laundry wasn’t done before my mom got home, if the dishes weren’t done, and it even wasn’t my chore, I still did it. And it’s because I wanted everything to be good. I wanted everything to be online. I wanted everything to be happy for my mother who, you know, she raised us on her own for a long time.

So I was that person And that’s because I have this inner drive in me that no matter what, I’m going to get it done. I’m going to do it. And that’s been instilled with me, like I said, from this the story that I was telling you that since I was very little, I knew that I had this drive to make sure that everything could be the best it could be at the time versus just slacking off or just maybe not making my bed in the morning today. No. I wanna make my bed in the morning every day, and it’s because I have this ability to make sure that everything can get done the way it should be so that you’re responsible and aware of everything that you do takes it to another level.

Right? So that’s my because. Does that make sense to you?

Mick Hunt: Not only does it make sense, but it resonates. You know, like, same thing. I made a promise to to my mom and sisters as a as a 10 year old. Right? That, you know, I don’t know how, but I’m gonna help make life better.

Again, at 10, I didn’t have answers to the test, but but I figured it out. Right? And that’s why I think I admire you so much because one of the things that I know about you is Christy just figures it out. Right? Like, no matter what the challenge is gonna be, no matter what the thing is gonna be, Christy’s gonna figure out a way to make it happen, and I love that.

Christy Buss: True. Very true.

Mick Hunt: I have one thing.

Christy Buss: Mhmm.

Mick Hunt: You said the all American woman 1979. You know, again, I follow you. I see you. You were like 1 years old in 1979. No.

Christy Buss: I wasn’t. Seriously, I was just turning 19 at that time. So, yeah, that puts me 46 years ago of this year when I won. So I was 19, so that makes me around 65 going on 66. And, yeah, it’s crazy.

Mick Hunt: Yeah. And for those that are not watching, for those that are just listening to the audio only

Christy Buss: Okay.

Mick Hunt: And and when you follow Christy, you’ll know what I’m saying. Not a day over 27 is Christy Buss. Just saying that.

Christy Buss: I wish. I wish. People look at me like, oh, you look just around 50. And I’m like, okay. That’s still like, wait.

I don’t even wanna be that. But when you tell me 27, I’ll take that one.

Mick Hunt: Absolutely. Absolutely. And so I think I actually wanna go there because, again, knowing the things that I know about you, founder, skincare is something that you totally believe in, and you have one of the most amazing product lines out there. So let’s talk about Hidoform.

Christy Buss: Okay. Well, first of all, like you said, I can get things done. I ran a studio, a dance studio for 28 years. And I had over 3,000 kids come through to that I taught. And somehow I found a way because I did it all by myself.

And so COVID came around, you know, 4 years ago, obviously, and I actually lost my studio. So, we were trying to do things online because I lost the brick and mortar because I couldn’t, I couldn’t pay the rent. And, you know, at that time I just said, it’s time. It’s time to move the baton to the person that I’ve been training. And so my assistant bought it from me, and, I led her to a different place, smaller so that she could afford it.

And, it was great. It was great. So it just at 60, I was doing a TV, like, show. It’s called Ageless Ambitions. And I had on one of my dear friends, and I never got in-depth like we’re doing now, like, more in-depth about what she did owning 3 med spas.

And I was so intrigued by her talking about skin. It just, because I always took care of my body. My body was my instrument. But when you get older, this things, things start changing. And I was just loving, loving what she was saying.

And so I’m like, I wanna know more. I wanna, I wanna be around you. So she’s like, well, come on down and see what I do. But more than that, she told me, I think you should do a skincare line. I think you can do this because of your tenacity and how you ran your dance studio.

I think it’d be something to, you know, transport or mold into something new at 60 years old. I knew I was excited about doing something different. And so she said, I’ll help you, and I knew nothing at 60. So I went back and studied. I went back online school, and, I learned about formulations.

I learned about ingredients because there’s no way I was going to do this and not know what I was talking about. I led my career in dance because I knew what I was doing. And so I could do it, you know, with my eyes closed. But this was something very, very different, very different. And selling a product is another thing that’s very different.

I was the product, so I could sell myself, but it’s hard to sell a bottle. Right? So, wow, it was just like a lot. And to know words and, and, let make your brain work again so differently. Reestablish your muscle memory of learning.

That’s what we need to do, right? So we need to keep evolving to keep ourselves young and vibrant and, you know, just not static, you know, more, okay, let’s keep the flower blooming. So I studied and I, I met with, her main people that she works with through a lab that works with just medical medical doctors and medical spas. And so I got that opportunity because of her to use and guide myself through some of the products that were going to be in some of those. And then I leaned into doing some of my own based on what I was learning.

And that’s how Hida was born. And did I have a lot of ups and downs, you know, mistakes and things as an entrepreneur to, finally figure it out, you know, by actually doing it myself. That person that believed and why, because I knew I could do it myself versus depending on people. You know?

Mick Hunt: And

Christy Buss: so that’s how it gained so much more momentum because I went and I looked at people in social media who knew what they were talking about. And I said, hey. Can you check my product out? Because there’s a 1,000,000 skincare lines out there. Right?

Like, a lot. And it was a very hard business to start. And with that, this one amazing, aesthetician, after 3 months said, what’s in here? I love it. So she teased it and it it went really big, but then she talked about it and it went so viral.

That’s how Hido became the brand that it is today and still moving up. So it just took me to figure it out instead of depending on marketing companies and, you know, maybe down the road that can happen because I’m more established. But when you’re trying to establish a brand, they don’t know what I know. So I just ended up doing it myself.

Mick Hunt: That’s amazing. And and the brand is amazing. The products are amazing. You have products for all. Everything, you know, there’s a science to to what you do, which is what I love about it.

And I wanna hit on a couple of things that you mentioned because everyone thinks entrepreneurship is easy. Right? So I’ve got this idea, and I’ve got x number of followers on social, or I know x amount of people, and it’s just gonna sell. Life and entrepreneurship doesn’t work that way. Like, what were those moments for Christie when it was like, I gotta dig deep, or this isn’t gonna be what I thought it was gonna be.

And then I’d also hope to know how you push through those moments.

Christy Buss: Well, exactly. Entrepreneurship is not easy. It’s nice to be your own boss, but at the same time, you never stop 247. You know? And it’s a constant up and down, like mistakes are made, but then you pick yourself back up.

It’s never over. So there’s never a vacation. There’s never anything that, you know, just can say, I I can take a little time. It’s a 1000%, 247. I’m getting, emails at 1 in the morning and I’m answering them because I’m like, woah.

I need to answer this. You know? So it’s just never ends. And and my particular brand is very personable. Like I want that personal touch to it that most brands don’t have in terms of skincare.

I’m on Zooms. I’m on, you know, FaceTimes. I’m texting people back and forth. It’s like that doesn’t happen in the skincare industry. So that’s another great thing about, you know, me being more 1 on 1 with anybody that has anything to do with keto.

But entrepreneurship again is just like, you take a lot of beatings. And if you are willing to, you know, rise above them, which sometimes seems almost impossible, it’s frustrating. It’s like, you know, you just don’t think you can make one more mistake and it it, you know, it can go down. But with those mistakes, you learn and you grow and you build from, experience no matter what. So you have to just take the punches, take a deep breath, go through your frustrations in the way that you as a person does.

I mean, Darius, who’s my partner and has been doing a Hido with me for the last, you know, 5 years. I started it sort of on my own, and then he helped me. He’s my calm person to just say, it’s gonna be okay. You know? Because that because of me, because I want everything to be perfect, sometimes it’s just not.

And so you gotta figure out if it’s not perfect, just make it be the the best nonperfect it is at the moment, and then make it better.

Mick Hunt: That’s awesome. You know, again, the resiliency that you have and all throughout your career. Right? Because even the dance and the choreography, that’s not easy. Right?

Because there’s 100. You’re gonna tell me there’s 1,000 of of dancers and choreographers, but you’ve had this ability to always rise to the occasion, to always be the star. And, again, it takes business smarts. It takes charisma. It takes grit.

Like, for for Christy and your journey Mhmm. From dancer, choreographer to where you are now, like, what are some of the things that that you’re proud of through that journey that again, not that you just overcome, but the things that you fought for, the things you stood up for, and that led you to get to where you are now.

Christy Buss: Oh, this is great. Okay. So first of all, being 52 and being a dancer in LA is just like, no. Like, you even to go up for it, like, any kind of movie role in terms of a dance, like say, Greece 2 or, you know, solid gold dancer, I went up for all that stuff. And, you know, just the start out saying 57 and above or, you know, it wasn’t going to be me.

So I had to find a way to break through what I have as a talent and make it my own. And so, you know, I was auditioning in that for acting stuff at the time, but I had dance on my resume. And I was doing days of our lives at the time, and they’re like they called me and they said, can you be here in 30 minutes? I’m like I was like, I’ll be there as fast as I can. And I then I choreographed for daytime TV for 30 years.

But it’s the it’s the it’s the it’s the magic that happens because of putting it on your resume and being ready. But that became my niche is more choreographer, you know, so that I could still dance some things, but, you know, when it came to a course, you just had to be the same height as everybody else. So I found a way to do my dance career through my choreography. And then my choreography led me to more individual dancing, You know? So I could be like I don’t wanna say the star, but in a different role, like, when it was a ski show.

And they have all these beautiful dancing models, and then there’s me. So I became the, like, the the needle through the string of the show as the the main character and danced certain things in that. So I found a way to, you know, make a detriment of my height and being a dancer to, like, pretty much being able to work my whole career in dance.

Mick Hunt: That’s awesome. What are some things in in dance and choreography that the average person like me doesn’t know or doesn’t see? Because I know there’s a lot behind the scenes. I know there’s a lot in practice and we’re like, what are some of the things that we the casual person doesn’t even see that now we can go look?

Christy Buss: We’re athletes. This is like I said earlier. It’s an instrument here. And we, you know, you have to train every day, and it’s very precise, and it’s very, you know, repetition. Like, dance is repetition.

And what we go through to be the professional dancers that we are, it’s a skill that is like no other. And people don’t realize that that’s pretty much an athlete. And I think that’s key to what people don’t realize when they watch. And when it looks so easy, it’s when it’s really hard, but they make it look easy. So that’s that’s one thing.

And then other people don’t think that in movies or even daytime television, there are scenes that, you know, have dance, but it’s not really, you know, thrown at you, but it’s, it’s a choreographed piece that makes it look romantic or in every movie, there’s some kind of choreography. In daytime TV, there’s choreography, but people do, oh, there’s choreography and daytime, like who does that? And, you know, but there’s, there’s many, many scenes that are done that that dance brings out the romance in a scene. And so people don’t understand that either. So there’s, that’s 2 different, like, aspects of dance, you know, and what people don’t really realize.

Mick Hunt: That’s awesome. You’re you’re so amazing in everything that you do, and and you’re a person that I I always says has a ton of wisdom and insights and and actionable steps for people. So for the listener or viewer right now, Christy, that, you know, they’re they’re fighting something or they’re at a challenge, and and they need that grit, that determination to to get through it. Whatever it is. Whether you’re a CEO, and it’s like, how do I take that next step?

Or even in your personal life, and it’s like, I’ve had consecutive bad days. How do I see the light? Like, what’s some advice that you have for people?

Christy Buss: Well, first of all, I’m gonna say it to myself. Okay? Because, you know, you just think think things are gonna go a certain way. And when they don’t, you have to understand there’s always a reason why, and we don’t wanna really accept that reason. But we can take that of what we feel and maybe not feeling good about it and find a way to overcome what you didn’t think was gonna happen and make yourself better.

Like, let’s take this roadblock or this, you know, thing that just did not happen for us or the way that we wanted things to end in a result. We need to take that and say there’s a reason, but I’m going to figure that out to become and be better than that decision that was could have been. And maybe it wasn’t gonna be as great as it is when we figure out what we wanna do after that that it didn’t come our way. It could be 10,000,000 times better. So we have to look at that and say, okay.

Okay. We’re gonna be okay. You know? And figure out a way to rise above any obstacle. Because life is short.

Life is real short. And, we’re not here very long. So, you know, I have to tell myself that every day too, you know, because when I get down or upset, like, you know, you just wanna find that saying, what’s the point? You know? And that’s what Darius does for me.

Like, it’s gonna be okay. Like, just keep moving. It’s okay. And so when you’re with somebody that can help you with that, that’s good. So anybody that’s, you know, that you need a friend or something to because we kinda hold it inside.

We kinda just think that sometimes we think that we’re the we’re we can just handle it, but I’ll figure it out within. But sometimes it’s okay to reach out to people and and get it out. Because in that way, it’s spoken, and it’s not just keep going on in here, and you can just become, you know, less stressed about anything that isn’t really working out for us.

Mick Hunt: Agree. Agree. One of the things that I know about you is you have a very tight circle. Right? You know, you talk about Darius and and the ability to to get feedback there.

And I know you have other people in your circle, whether it’s business partners, close friends, whatever. I’d love for you to talk about that, the power of having the right circle, and more importantly, evaluating that circle. Because, you know, just because someone’s in the circle today doesn’t mean that they stay there. I mean, they should, but sometimes, you know, life is life and people show you different things. But I’d love for Christy Buss to talk about the power of circle.

Christy Buss: That’s really interesting. I like that. You know, we grow and our minds grow. And so sometimes other people stay stagnant in their thoughts. And then that way that circle could change, and that’s okay.

So a good circle of people, good friends can always be there. And I think that we need that. But sometimes when you’re trying to hold on to something that just isn’t really giving you any extra positivity or any growth, maybe it’s time to move on. You know what I’m saying? That circle can be different.

Like, we don’t need to just keep that same person around if it’s not fulfilling us the way we wanna be fulfilled. But at the same time, there’s still people that, you know, I’ve had since grade school, high school, that are still a big part of my life that don’t have to talk to me every day. But when we do get together, it’s, like, so meaningful. So there’s different levels of a circle. Right?

And, I mean, I do need people around me. And that’s another thing that, you know, after this party that I have to, I have to keep the momentum going for the project that I wanna do. And it and you have to keep pushing people like, okay. Yeah. Let’s have lunch today.

Let’s do this tomorrow. Like instead of saying, oh, we’ll do it next week. No. But that circle pushes you to keep, you know, on point. It gives you that, you know, mindset of, I’m not gonna just let time go by when we can get stuff done now.

Yeah. That helps.

Mick Hunt: That’s amazing. That’s amazing. You always have so much going on and you’re you’re getting it done. Right? As you always say, what does Christy have coming up?

Like, where where do you want the audience and viewers to know? Like, what what’s next for Christy or or what’s current for Christy?

Christy Buss: Okay. Well, Quito’s doing very well. And, you know, we wanna take it to another level, but I still wanna do it correctly organically and not just sell it out. You know, like, it’s just not me. I wanna build keto in the best possible way as organically as possible.

Like, not push it on people, but let them figure it out to try it and love it and then go from there. So that’s gonna grow, Hido. But like I said, I’m keeping bringing up this amazing party that I had. And that’s why I’m so glad I meant to hear talk to you now versus in January. Because, you know, this party that I had was for people to understand the story that I wanna tell and to inspire women, women power.

You know, we have to have a voice and it’s still not here yet. It’s still not here yet. And women need to support women and they’re still it’s still not there. So that’s a big deal for me. And I want people to have a voice.

As the all American woman, I want to tell my story. I want to show how I’ve gotten to be where I’m at today based on this little contest that I won that was on national TV on ABC 46 years ago. But what do I do with that title? Like I’ve done nothing with it really for 46 years, but it’s time to create and build on that to be the one and only all American woman. And now who was the all American woman of today?

Let’s tell stories about that. Maybe not have another all American woman because everybody’s so uniquely different and everybody is 1, but to, tell a story for each individual that needs to be told that they are the all American woman. You know? And that’s very, very important to me. So I can’t wait to tell that story.

And seeing somebody like me and even as, you know, your best and most famous, you know, celebrity that you just love. Right? We all have problems. We all have ups and downs. We all have issues.

We all have things that you do too. Everybody has the same problems. If it’s in family, you know, business, whatever it is. And we need to show that we are just like everybody else, you know? And so to tell that story too to say, it’s all good because you’re not the only one.

We all go through it. And that’s another level of, you know, enlightenment that I wanna bring out because storytelling is very, very good for the soul. And to inspire, sometimes we only wanna see darkness and, you know, a lot of documentaries are based on sadness or darkness, and that’s what people get into. But what’s wrong with finally seeing an inspirational, more uplifting, more powerful kind of story or documentary that can just really change the world, which we definitely need right now? So that’s gonna be my big deal.

So I wanna tell my story in a book, in a documentary, and lead that to more conferences, more gatherings of women, and empowering them as well as men. Right? Because when I spoke at this event and some some guy came up to me that it’s my best friend’s fiance. And he goes, you know, you uplifted me today to understand what my fiance you know, the pressure that I put on her to help me raise my kids and that you taught me that I need to have her somewhat being empowered by what she’s doing versus

Mick Hunt: That is awesome.

Christy Buss: Versus just that’s what you do. Right? When you become a as, you know, in involved with a different family dynamic, it’s just assumed that you’re gonna just take over and help. Right? You know, you need to acknowledge that and give some strength to that to that person.

So he was so inspired by that. So it made me feel so good because it’s like, you get it.

Mick Hunt: Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. So, again, I’m a go rapid fire with Christy Blesh.

Christy Buss: Okay. I’m ready.

Mick Hunt: Alright. So your favorite team that you dance for?

Christy Buss: The favorite team that I dance for? Okay. I would say well, I only dance for 2 2 teams. So

Mick Hunt: Right. So which one was your favorite?

Christy Buss: Say the Rams. Only because I did 8 USO tours all over the world while I was with the Rams. So I would say the Los Angeles Rams.

Mick Hunt: Awesome. Your favorite movie or TV set that you were the head that you choreographed is your favorite.

Christy Buss: Okay. That would be days of our lives. Oh. Days of our lives when I did Bowen Hope’s wedding dance. It was amazing.

They got married a lot of times, and I did a couple of them, but I had one in the that was my Valentine that was just amazing.

Mick Hunt: Yeah. I know more about Days in Our Lives than I actually should know. Like, there are multiple bows and hopes too. Right?

Christy Buss: Like Exactly.

Mick Hunt: On the show. Like, not not the actors, but, like, multiple bows and hopes.

Christy Buss: Yes. There was a lot well, there was, definitely a couple bows and a lot of hopes. Yeah.

Mick Hunt: Yeah. Who’s an actor or actress that could really dance that you were surprised by?

Christy Buss: Well, I wasn’t really surprised, but she only was a skater, and that’s Christine Alfonzo. But she she knows what she’s doing when she moves. So I was very, very it was so easy to work with her for sure.

Mick Hunt: That was hope. My favorite hope.

Christy Buss: I Yeah. Know that. Yes.

Mick Hunt: Who’s an actor or actress that just has no rhythm?

Christy Buss: Now I’m keen to say okay. I’m gonna be honest with you and he would tell you that that, yes, Christie’s right. And his name’s Galen. He was on passions. Galen.

So I forget the part that he played, but he was the it was a big storyline, but Galen was the the one that just he just did not like me. He’s like, oh god.

Mick Hunt: Yes. She didn’t do it.

Christy Buss: Here she is again. I don’t wanna do this. I’m like, come on, Galen. Do it. And then he would look so good doing it.

So it was fun. It was good. But, yeah, we dance.

Mick Hunt: So on a Saturday morning when Christy is, like, you know, in the kitchen making breakfast or whatever and, like, you’re in your groove and you’re feeling it, what type of music is Christy listening to?
