Written Podcast Transcription:
Jacob: Hello everybody and welcome to The Enchanting Lawyer podcast. This is your host, Jacob Sapochnick. This is a show where we interview the most inspiring entrepreneurs, business people, and just creative individuals that inspire us to do our work better. Today I have a very cool and exciting guest, her name is Baya Voce.
As a cast member of MTV’s The Real World, Baya transformed her TV exposure into an abundant business and speaking career. She has founded three companies. Most recently Secret SLC based around being bold and building powerful relationships to leverage success.
Baya is a nationally (audio cuts) and professional development expert and appears monthly on a top ABC affiliate station at Salt Lake’s resident relationship specialist. She travels internationally researching emotional intelligence, studying positive psychology, body language, NLP, and mentoring under intimacy experts.
Baya, welcome to the show. I’m so excited to have you here. How are you?
Baya: Hi. I’m so great. Thanks so much. I’m really excited.
Jacob: And you are – just so our listeners know – you’re in Salt Lake right now as we’re recording this, right?

Jacob: I met Baya personally at an event that we both attended and I loved Utah, I love the people there. You’re just another example of the cool people there that come from that beautiful state.
Baya: Yey! I love Salk Lake.

So when I got cast on the show I moved to Brooklyn and I was so excited. It was moving to Brooklyn and being on the show that really got me interested in relationships. I think because it was like being dumped in this kind of odd sociological experiment where you have cameras around you (audio cuts) with people that you’re meant to not get along with and they know there’s going to be controversy around … It was just being dumped in an experiment.
So I got fascinated with really this question, who am I being in order for people to be who they are towards me. I’ll say that one more time just because it’s kind of tricky. Who am I being in order for people to be who they are towards me. I just thought if I am being reacted to a certain way, there’s a reason. If more than one person is reacting to me in a certain way (audio cuts) to dissect what that was. Why I was either liked or not liked, trusted or not trusted. Why I would get boyfriends or not get boyfriends. That whole question really made me dive into my first company which was matchmaking.
So I was a matchmaker …
