1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 Tell me about your vision. 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000 I'll tell you that. 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000 That's such a fabulous question. 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000 And I started thinking about it and 5 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000 I thought, no, you know what? 6 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000 Vision. I mean, so let's go 7 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000 big on this. I mean, if you really want to know my vision 8 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000 and it's not something I'm 9 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000 going to achieve, but it's still 10 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000 a goal is to see 11 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000 a world where people could 12 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000 be their own best self. 13 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Where they're not having to listen 14 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000 to other signals or pressures 15 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000 and could be very 16 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000 happy and 17 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000 content in the decisions they're making. 18 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000 And so that requires a decision 19 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000 making process that allows them 20 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000 to build on, 21 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000 like I said, their own good 22 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000 self. And right now 23 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000 there's just too many, too much noise. 24 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Yes. 25 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 So, and that goes 26 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 back to the name of your busy 27 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000 business, Busy Minds. 28 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000 And so is that where that comes 29 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000 from is just too much noise 30 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000 and... 31 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Yeah, and I think that it comes 32 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000 from the fact that as well that I 33 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 was often challenged early on in my 34 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000 career was to pick a lane. 35 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000 You know, what is your topic? What is your topic? 36 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000 What is your topic? And I realized that 37 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000 it's bigger than that. I don't have 38 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000 one thing. And that's why you 39 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000 can read me talking about 40 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Gen Z. It'll tie back into 41 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000 ethics. My main focus 42 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 is around ethics, but boy, there's 43 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000 all sorts of facets of that. 44 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000 And every time I start to explore one, I 45 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 get interested. And so 46 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000 rather than being too scattered, 47 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000 I try to bring that together. But that's 48 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 sort of where that all comes from. 49 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000 So where did this vision come 50 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000 from? I know it's a big audacious 51 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000 vision, but where did it come from? 52 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000 It started 53 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000 as all these things do. You know, 54 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 it's a journey. And 55 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000 I started working in public accounting. 56 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 That was my first professional job 57 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 was in public accounting. I am an accountant. 58 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000 And I realized 59 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000 that I was working with good people 60 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000 in a heavily regulated industry 61 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000 with lots of rules and regulations. 62 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000 And we had a 63 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000 mandate from the professional 64 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 perspective and also from my company's perspective, 65 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 you know, protecting the public, doing 66 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 what was good for people. But 67 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 the behaviors didn't always 68 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 in my mind align. 69 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 And this is back, I'm talking back when I was 70 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 young. And so I was looking for guidance. I 71 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 was looking for people to mentor 72 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 me and to tell me, you know, 73 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 how to behave, but how to think about how to 74 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 behave. And I got conflicting 75 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 signals. And it was frustrating. 76 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 And I found that it felt 77 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 to me that sometimes I had to be 78 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 dishonest. 79 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 And then I discovered 80 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 that I didn't have language. And this is 81 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 where it started. How do I explain this to people? 82 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 I'm not trying to be holier than 83 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 thou or, you know, 84 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 you're all wrong. No, no, I just need 85 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000 clarity. 86 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 What are the greatest joys 87 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000 of what you do? 88 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 You know, this is actually going to be 89 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 easy. This type of exchange. 90 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 I just love connecting 91 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 with people, seeing 92 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000 them say, OK, yeah, 93 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000 I see that, you know, 94 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 that I'm following you, Michelle. 95 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 This makes sense to me. And then providing 96 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 some tools that they can perhaps 97 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 solidify that a little bit 98 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 so that at the end of the day, they can feel 99 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 they're making decisions they can live with. And that 100 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 brings me a lot of joy. Thank you for being 101 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 here today.
