Tell me about your vision.
I have a couple, but the first thing is just helping other people realize their dreams.
That's why I'm in business.
And in my own company, it's making sure that I've created a safe place for nice people to work.
Can you tell me more about that?
Sure. I believe in building jerk-free bubbles.
And just we don't have any jerk clients.
We don't have any jerk workers.
If somebody either turns into a jerk or they hire a jerk and we have to work with them, I just I bow out.
So it's a good business philosophy.
It's served me for years and I'm sticking with it.
Where did this vision of helping others come from?
Well, it all started when I was eight and my my mother had remarried and had three boys, all of whom I loved dearly.
But the first one was autistic.
And I was old enough to be the built in babysitter.
So I spent a lot of time with him.
And he had needs and a very low tolerance level.
So either he was happy and really happy or he was really not.
He was three years old pretty much until he died.
He died this last January in his 60s.
And I had to learn how to meet his needs without him being able to communicate them.
That is like a three year old who just throws a fit, but they can't articulate exactly what's bothering them.
So because he really didn't speak in full sentences until we retrained his hearing when he was in his 30s.
I read a book about it was called Hearing Equals Behavior.
And it was about the hearing problems that autistic people have.
I realized that he could hear low frequency sounds like motorcycles and buses and airplanes really well,
which is why when he was a baby, he used to put his hands over his ears when those sounds were around.
But he couldn't what I didn't know is he couldn't hear high frequency sounds at all.
And vowels are low frequency and consonants are high frequency.
So S, T, F, those are all sounds that appear.
They're up in the buzzing frequency.
So he couldn't hear consonants.
So he couldn't speak consonants.
So we found some people who did ear retraining.
And after that, he started to hear consonants and he started speaking in full sentences.
Where are you going with your vision?
Well, as I mentioned, I'm writing a book and it's just time to get that idea out into the marketplace.
It seems to appeal to people when I'm on podcasts and things.
The nice people like the idea, so I'm looking forward to getting that out there.
I still ever since 2017, I've been running it.
I founded and I'm running a digital marketing agency.
And all of these policies are just part of our daily work.
So I think it's really those two things.
I want to get the book out.
I want to talk about love, leverage and logistics.
I want to help business people see their business.
And I suppose you could call it a more spiritual light.
But it's about it when I define love in the book, I'm talking about taking care of other people.
I was really happily married for 45 years.
My husband died of cancer a few years ago.
And that's besides my brother.
That was the other big lesson in loving.
And we really loved each other.
We were in love with each other.
We were best friends with each other the whole time.
And it really taught me that it really is all about just taking care of each other,
figuring out what the other person needs and figuring out how I can give it to them, husband and wife, not just wife.
