Quick Fire Questions with Alix Hecht 🚀

We like to finish these podcasts a little bit different from most. We like to do quick fire questions. Now we're going to find out a little bit more about yourself. And as we always say with everybody, as you're tuning in live or even when you're watching back on the replay, I love to see your comments. I go back on every single one of them. If you've got any answers to these questions, I leave them in the comments so I can go back and look at them afterwards. So, number one, obviously we've been in lockdown for quite a while now. If you could be isolated, if you could be on lockdown with one celebrity or famous, famous figure, alive or dead, who would that be?

After I saw that, the Gal Gadot singing Imagine, I don't think I ever want to meet another celebrity again for the rest of my life. But I think. Did you see that? It was something else I did. I'd probably pick a politician, you know, probably pick a famous politician. Perhaps Boris. You know, if he didn't have coronavirus, maybe I'd. I'd pick his brains about a couple of things.

There you go. You pick Boris. Brains. Good one. Okay. Obviously busy person, sales director of a company running around all the time. And, you know, always there's that one movie or that TV series that you've just put on your To Watch list. And now, you know, we've got a bit more time to sort of be indoors and get a chance to catch up. What is that one thing that you've always had on your to watch list, whether it's a TV series, whether it's a movie or a documentary, is the one that stands out, one that you're looking forward to potentially checking out over the next couple of weeks?

I just watched the first three parts of Tiger King. I don't know if anybody's got Netflix. Anybody seen it? But it is a heck of a show. And I'm unbelievably excited about the fourth one.

You've got three more episodes. Four, five, six. You've got four more episodes. And because I've got the little bonus one, I binged it.

I'm addicted. I'm addicted.

I heard about it and then I just thought, right, I Normally finish about 10, 11, work wise, but I'm going to watch one before bed for. I knew it was like 2 o' clock in the morning. I just binged so many of them. It's insane. It is insane. And yeah, anybody who watched last night's episode, you'll notice that when I Started the podcast yesterday. There'll be a little. A little tip of the hat to Tiger King in there. Yeah, Tiger King is a massive one. What is the. What would you say would be the one thing that you have missed being able to do since being on lockdown?

I'm going into work. I've really missed it. I really miss my colleagues. I have a great time with them. Great banter, even. Just great things like going in and having a coffee together. It's so minute, but it's so unbelievably important. I'd say it's probably worked.

What has been your best purchase, Your favorite purchase under £100 in the last, say, six months to a year. So there's one thing that you can.

Think of, Alcogel, that's been the one. I don't know. I'd probably say that I recently got into a little bit of a link premium for sending. For sending instant messages to people. So those, those 15 messages that you get with LinkedIn Premium have really, really helped me from a professional perspective. And from a personal perspective, I'm gonna have to go with the Alcogel.

Nice. Nice choice. Nice choice. Like that. Okay, so do you have a favorite podcast, like a YouTube? So on the way to work or driving in the car or anything, do you put on a podcast? Is there a YouTube channel? Any sort of favorite one that you can recommend?

I'm a big MMA fan, so I listen to a lot of Joe Rogan, a of lot. Listen to a lot of his pre fight and post fights, and then I end up watching him for hours. He's phenomenal. The guests he has on are just.

Amazing, which is funny because the first one, someone asked me who I would isolate with, and mine was Joe Rogan. I'm a big Joe Rogan fan. I just think that he covers all the boxes. It'd be a good one to be down with. And finally, again, I can't let you go without asking, what is your number one piece of advice to anybody listening that you would pass on to them to help them increase their direct bookings?

I'd increase the direct booking. I'd probably recommend establishing a really strong presence on social media. I see that that's probably one of.

The best ways social media, fantastic way to go. Build your brand. Build, build. And you can do it for free with social media. So fantastic. I really, really appreciate you doing this. I know it's a little bit later than what it is here in the UK over in Israel, so appreciate you taking the time to doing this.
