1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 Tell me about your vision. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:11,000 I have a couple, but the first thing is just helping other people realize their dreams. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000 That's why I'm in business. 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:22,000 And in my own company, it's making sure that I've created a safe place for nice people to work. 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000 Can you tell me more about that? 6 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Sure. I believe in building jerk-free bubbles. 7 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000 And just we don't have any jerk clients. 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000 We don't have any jerk workers. 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000 If somebody either turns into a jerk or they hire a jerk and we have to work with them, I just I bow out. 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000 So it's a good business philosophy. 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000 It's served me for years and I'm sticking with it. 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Where did this vision of helping others come from? 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Well, it all started when I was eight and my my mother had remarried and had three boys, all of whom I loved dearly. 14 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000 But the first one was autistic. 15 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000 And I was old enough to be the built in babysitter. 16 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000 So I spent a lot of time with him. 17 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000 And he had needs and a very low tolerance level. 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000 So either he was happy and really happy or he was really not. 19 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 He was three years old pretty much until he died. 20 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000 He died this last January in his 60s. 21 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:53,000 And I had to learn how to meet his needs without him being able to communicate them. 22 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,000 That is like a three year old who just throws a fit, but they can't articulate exactly what's bothering them. 23 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000 So because he really didn't speak in full sentences until we retrained his hearing when he was in his 30s. 24 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000 I read a book about it was called Hearing Equals Behavior. 25 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000 And it was about the hearing problems that autistic people have. 26 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000 I realized that he could hear low frequency sounds like motorcycles and buses and airplanes really well, 27 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000 which is why when he was a baby, he used to put his hands over his ears when those sounds were around. 28 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000 But he couldn't what I didn't know is he couldn't hear high frequency sounds at all. 29 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000 And vowels are low frequency and consonants are high frequency. 30 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000 So S, T, F, those are all sounds that appear. 31 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000 They're up in the buzzing frequency. 32 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 So he couldn't hear consonants. 33 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000 So he couldn't speak consonants. 34 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000 So we found some people who did ear retraining. 35 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,000 And after that, he started to hear consonants and he started speaking in full sentences. 36 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Where are you going with your vision? 37 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Well, as I mentioned, I'm writing a book and it's just time to get that idea out into the marketplace. 38 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000 It seems to appeal to people when I'm on podcasts and things. 39 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000 The nice people like the idea, so I'm looking forward to getting that out there. 40 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000 I still ever since 2017, I've been running it. 41 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000 I founded and I'm running a digital marketing agency. 42 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000 And all of these policies are just part of our daily work. 43 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 So I think it's really those two things. 44 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000 I want to get the book out. 45 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000 I want to talk about love, leverage and logistics. 46 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000 I want to help business people see their business. 47 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000 And I suppose you could call it a more spiritual light. 48 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:06,000 But it's about it when I define love in the book, I'm talking about taking care of other people. 49 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000 I was really happily married for 45 years. 50 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000 My husband died of cancer a few years ago. 51 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 And that's besides my brother. 52 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000 That was the other big lesson in loving. 53 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 And we really loved each other. 54 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000 We were in love with each other. 55 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000 We were best friends with each other the whole time. 56 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000 And it really taught me that it really is all about just taking care of each other, 57 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,000 figuring out what the other person needs and figuring out how I can give it to them, husband and wife, not just wife. 58 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Thank you for being here today. 59 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000 I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live. 60 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000 I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions as these episodes continue to move forward. 61 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000 We're going to get more and more fun. 62 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000 We'll have more and more engagement as well. 63 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000 We'll invite people to participate in the show. 64 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 And thank you for giving us your time and attention. 65 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:18,000 And have an excellent time building out your vision and becoming a Vision Pro yourself.
