Spent, spent most 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.310 of the last year. just going through some major 00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:58.810 life changes and you know sometimes when quote 00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:02.350 unquote bad things happen to you or you know 00:05:02.350 --> 00:05:05.689 happen to us and things don't go our way or life 00:05:05.689 --> 00:05:08.490 just kind of slaps us upside the head and even 00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:12.449 knocks us down sometimes it's for our benefit 00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:17.009 and so I had to learn that and had to learn that 00:05:17.009 --> 00:05:21.199 when things come at you Sometimes seemingly out 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.540 of nowhere, it's to wake you up. It's to shake 00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:28.800 you. And, you know, it's God, source, universe, 00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:30.199 you know, whatever you want to call it, trying 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.459 to wake you up and shake you to take you down 00:05:34.459 --> 00:05:36.720 another path, you know, that's going to be for 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.660 your benefit. And so that's what I went through, 00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:43.699 you know, that it included separation and divorce 00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:48.379 and moving and just all kind of stuff. And You 00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:51.220 know, sometimes we can see things coming. Sometimes 00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:55.899 we can't. And then sometimes, you know, we either 00:05:55.899 --> 00:05:58.939 don't see how we're going to handle it. And somehow 00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:01.459 we do. We come out on the other side just fine. 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.100 And then other times we think, oh, you know, 00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:07.120 I got this. And then we run into more hurdles. 00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:10.279 So it was a little bit of both, you know, it 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.819 was a little bit of all that. So it was definitely 00:06:12.819 --> 00:06:17.430 a learning time of learning for me. And I'm so 00:06:17.430 --> 00:06:20.689 thankful and grateful that it did happen, you 00:06:20.689 --> 00:06:23.230 know, the way it did when it did and the way 00:06:23.230 --> 00:06:25.670 I responded, because, like I said, when when 00:06:25.670 --> 00:06:29.050 life knocks you down, you know, you got to respond 00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:31.509 and, you know, pick yourself back up and, you 00:06:31.509 --> 00:06:34.689 know, and just use the lessons that you learn 00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:37.050 to move forward or just, you know, stay down 00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:40.620 and, you know, die. So I mean. You pick, you 00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:42.620 know, what do you want to do? You want to just 00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:45.279 give up and kind of just throw in a towel? Or 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.199 do you want to, you know, pick yourself up and, 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.180 you know, like I said, learn from what life is 00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:52.519 trying to show you, right? That's why you're 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.660 so shaken. That's why, you know, you feel like 00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:57.379 maybe you're bottom or, you know, you don't know 00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:59.720 what to do next. But if you just kind of go within 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.779 and, you know, just let, you know, like I said, 00:07:03.100 --> 00:07:04.240 God's to us, you know, whatever you want to call 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.060 it, you know, speak to you. You don't know what 00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:09.839 to do. you don't have the right direction. So 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.540 that's the direction I'm headed into now. And 00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:17.300 part of that is, you know, part of my journey 00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:19.899 and part of my life mission is to, you know, 00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:24.379 get the word out on information that people don't 00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:28.040 know, that we're not taught in school and, you 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.899 know, to help set people free.

And 00:13:18.350 --> 00:13:21.210 then these people, the ones that are always so 00:13:21.210 --> 00:13:24.200 miserable because they can't do anything. and 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.559 all these diseases because of their diets and 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.220 everything. I just want people to start living 00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:34.980 a happier healthy life and I want to start them 00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:37.399 from when they're in school and when they graduate 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.559 and finish college or even if they've done all 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.899 that and they're out in the world and still are 00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:45.899 miserable because they can't find any jobs and 00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:49.350 they're just you know, eating, smoking or drinking 00:13:49.350 --> 00:13:52.230 their life away. And it's like, no, you know, 00:13:52.289 --> 00:13:54.789 you need to face the truth, face what you're 00:13:54.789 --> 00:13:59.970 doing. And then, you know, fix what the fix what's 00:13:59.970 --> 00:14:02.549 not working for you instead of just burying it 00:14:02.549 --> 00:14:06.809 all in alcohol, drugs, whatever. Yeah, I love 00:14:06.809 --> 00:14:10.830 that. And that's exactly what I had in mind, 00:14:11.009 --> 00:14:13.690 too, because as I taught school, I was in the 00:14:13.690 --> 00:14:16.779 military and I taught school almost of the time. 00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:21.360 And I was also in the medical field for a time 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.820 and just on my own health journey. And just I 00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:27.279 never felt like I was prepared for the world. 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.840 No, not one little bit. And school doesn't prepare 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.220 you nowadays. No, they give you the core curriculum. 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.919 And everybody gets out and knows the same thing, 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:42.220 which is nothing. And nobody nobody's prepared 00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:45.179 for the world's life. And we need to take And 00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:48.820 what was interesting when Ramon and I worked 00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:52.840 on the Q3 show together, we kind of, when we 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.899 were quarantined, the three of us with Jonathan, 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.480 Ramon and me, we tried to think of some alternatives 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.080 of different things of what people could do for, 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.440 you know, for work that would make them happy. 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.519 And it seemed like the perfect time if you're 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.090 going to do a career change to do it. During 00:15:14.090 --> 00:15:17.950 that time every actually rethink yours by everybody 00:15:17.950 --> 00:15:22.029 had to stop and we had so many great guests on 00:15:22.029 --> 00:15:27.129 that show Including you Debbie. Yeah I mean it 00:15:27.129 --> 00:15:30.950 was just so much fun and we did do that show 00:15:30.950 --> 00:15:34.350 live right might explore that at some other time 00:15:34.350 --> 00:15:37.950 when it's practical for us, but it We pretty 00:15:37.950 --> 00:15:41.919 much have the same Almost the same intention, 00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:45.320 but it was more geared towards adults. But that's 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.340 when I started the idea for unpopular playground. 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:53.720 I thought this needs to go younger. Yes. And 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.340 the preparation because you got kids that are 00:15:56.340 --> 00:16:00.720 in high school that still have no idea how to 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.919 even get started. They know what they want to 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.980 do or maybe they don't have parents or schools 00:16:05.980 --> 00:16:09.629 supporting them. And I thought they need somebody 00:16:09.629 --> 00:16:12.350 to be able to reach out, grab them by the hand 00:16:12.350 --> 00:16:14.549 and say, come on, honey, this is what you need 00:16:14.549 --> 00:16:20.210 to do. And to provide the spaces for them to 00:16:20.210 --> 00:16:23.889 be able to make those mistakes that would normally 00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:29.450 be consequential and to be able to have those 00:16:29.450 --> 00:16:33.029 conversations and talk it out. with like -minded 00:16:33.029 --> 00:16:36.070 people that want to go somewhere and I thought 00:16:36.070 --> 00:16:38.950 well why not from like the beginning of high 00:16:38.950 --> 00:16:41.970 school all the way through young adults because 00:16:41.970 --> 00:16:45.129 nobody's catering to them. The only time people 00:16:45.129 --> 00:16:49.850 think about high schoolers and young adults is 00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:53.370 either for the military to recruit or for college 00:16:53.370 --> 00:16:57.820 or high school graduations. That's it. But the 00:16:57.820 --> 00:17:00.399 thing is today, too, you got to look at kids 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.660 don't go out and play with other kids. They're 00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:09.980 not subjected to other people's opinions and 00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:12.079 ideas of what's out there in the world that, 00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:14.420 wow, I didn't know you could do that. Or I didn't 00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:16.819 know we could, you know, do this or, you know, 00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:19.420 when you went years ago, we went and we played 00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:22.359 and we did, you know, you pretended I'm a truck 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.700 driver or I'm a doctor or what. They don't do 00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:27.539 that anymore. These kids are stuck. in their 00:17:27.539 --> 00:17:30.000 room playing video games and none of the video 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.200 games are going to make any impact on these kids 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.319 as to what they're going to do for a job unless 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.299 they just want to go around killing people. And 00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:39.980 I think that's the problem too. There's a lot 00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:42.799 of isolation with the kids today. They don't 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.920 get out. They don't mingle. I see it with my 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:46.940 grandchildren. They'll come home from school 00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:51.000 and they'll be sitting and playing on their Nintendos 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.720 or whatever it is that they play now on Xbox, 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.299 whatever. But it's just not a healthy environment 00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:59.720 anymore. And they don't know how to talk to one 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:04.759 another. That part. Wouldn't you guys both agree 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:09.799 that you look on social media and nobody can, 00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:14.440 especially since like 2020 nobody can have a 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.079 conversation you have all of those trolls that 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:21.059 you if somebody says I like chocolate ice cream 00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:24.599 and you say I like vanilla or I like strawberry 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.180 you're a hater and all of a sudden it's like 00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:29.660 oh well you don't like chocolate ice cream you're 00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:34.180 a racist Or, oh I know, it's almost like you 00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:39.759 can't even have a different preference. Everybody's 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.759 on a mission to convert that you either like 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.259 what I like or you're a hater, you're this and 00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:51.579 that, and nobody can respectfully listen to somebody's, 00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:53.819 you know, another point of view to think that, 00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:56.799 wow. That's another way of looking at it. I never 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.019 thought about them and be open -minded because 00:18:59.019 --> 00:19:01.880 they're just so sick with what they're fed on 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:06.619 TV or media that can't have their own thought. 00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:09.380 Well, even when you're tech these kids with the 00:19:09.380 --> 00:19:12.220 text, I read some of the text on my grandkids' 00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:14.980 phones and I'm like, oh, that was really nasty. 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.500 And it's like, oh no, but she meant it like this. 00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:20.140 Well, how do you know she meant it? When you're 00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:22.640 reading the text, it doesn't come off. Oh, that's 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.190 a nice, happy, friendly, loving. text it's kind 00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:28.369 of like I would be offended by that text oh yeah 00:19:28.369 --> 00:19:30.690 but you don't know her and it's like they don't 00:19:30.690 --> 00:19:33.009 even know intonation when they're doing when 00:19:33.009 --> 00:19:35.410 they're speaking to one another like well what 00:19:35.410 --> 00:19:37.750 does that mean is she like upset with you oh 00:19:37.750 --> 00:19:41.069 no that's just like well you know you guys that's 00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:43.829 why when you talk to your parents your grandparents 00:19:43.829 --> 00:19:46.690 you don't even know how to get your point across 00:19:46.690 --> 00:19:50.579 because you don't use right emphasis when you're 00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:54.099 using certain words and it's just totally bad 00:19:54.099 --> 00:19:57.279 as far as for conversations. I have the hardest 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.480 time having conversations with my grandchildren. 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.039 You would not believe they take everything the 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.339 wrong way because it's like we're talking face 00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:10.660 to face and it's like well I didn't and it's 00:20:10.660 --> 00:20:14.420 like excuse me I didn't say you said this I go 00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:17.079 you know if we were texting on the phone you 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.359 would be just close the phone on me because you're 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:22.819 thinking I'm saying this you're not listening 00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:26.319 to what I'm saying and that's the problem today 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.019 nobody listens to the other person everybody's 00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:32.700 buttoning and saying what they think you said 00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:35.480 instead of saying that what did you mean and 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.640 that's the biggest meaning to what I'm saying 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.640 and that's the problem today nobody listens to 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.420 the other person everybody's buttoning and saying 00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:47.720 what they think you said instead of saying that 00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:50.119 what did you mean and that's the biggest problem 00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:56.799 today what are your thoughts for my uh -huh right 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:13.349 right right yeah hey hey you're in one here They 00:21:13.349 --> 00:21:15.970 yep people hear what they want like people see 00:21:15.970 --> 00:21:18.670 the thing is people already have their mind made 00:21:18.670 --> 00:21:21.289 up about Everything, you know anything and so 00:21:21.289 --> 00:21:25.609 it doesn't matter what you say Because they were 00:21:25.609 --> 00:21:29.190 at the mind up so there's gonna defend or be 00:21:29.190 --> 00:21:31.609 offended or push back on whatever you have to 00:21:31.609 --> 00:21:34.990 say that doesn't Agree with the relying of what 00:21:34.990 --> 00:21:38.630 they've already decided in their mind. So that's 00:21:38.630 --> 00:21:45.079 the problem and As far as you kids these days 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.519 coming out, I agree with everything that you 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.240 guys said. Now, high school kids, you know, when 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.059 high school kids come out, they they're options, 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:57.640 but it's like they don't realize their options. 00:21:57.940 --> 00:22:00.720 And one of the things I want to do to help people 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.819 out is just get them to realize that it's OK 00:22:04.819 --> 00:22:07.119 to go pay your own path. You don't have to take 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.859 some cookie cutter, you know. kind of approach 00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:16.259 to life as far as education and career goes. 00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:19.059 Like, you can do stuff. I mean, you can really 00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:23.079 go out here and just pave your own path. So I 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.819 want these kids to have the confidence and the 00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:29.220 skills to know that they can at least take, you 00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:33.940 know, that's an option for them. Right. Right. 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:53.069 Yeah. Right. Yes. Be you. Absolutely. And my 00:22:53.069 --> 00:22:56.470 thought in that trying to contribute to that 00:22:56.470 --> 00:23:02.230 with my skills is that, okay, teach them how 00:23:02.230 --> 00:23:06.730 to think logically, the logical fallacies, critical 00:23:06.730 --> 00:23:11.430 thinking skills and communication. Being able 00:23:11.430 --> 00:23:15.849 to can convey your thoughts completely and talk 00:23:15.849 --> 00:23:20.769 them out and listen to and be open minded to 00:23:20.769 --> 00:23:24.390 other people's ideas before you make judgments 00:23:24.390 --> 00:23:28.730 on them. And so those are a couple of things 00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:34.609 definitely that are on my agenda for course development 00:23:34.609 --> 00:23:52.859 and things like that. Yes. All right Yeah, oh 00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:57.079 like You know what Jen what we so you mentioned 00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.539 the the logical fallacies Something something 00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:04.000 like something is as basic as that a lot of people 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.869 don't know.

Right. 00:29:07.119 --> 00:30:43.619 Right. Right. Right. Enjoy! Yes, exactly. Well 00:30:43.619 --> 00:30:47.740 surgeon and you know, just gotta think a kid 00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:51.440 in high school right now will be 30 40 50 years 00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.160 old one day And so we you know, we say man if 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.700 I knew if I knew them what I know now Well, they 00:30:57.700 --> 00:31:02.839 can have a chance to know that now while they're 00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:09.279 18 19 20 years old So I I've been scammed a lot 00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:13.599 And, you know, and I could see it. I don't like 00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:16.759 it being done to me and I couldn't stand it. 00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:21.099 Yeah. So and I don't want other people to be 00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:24.240 scammed either. I mean, I've been into so many 00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.720 multi -level marketing things that people say, 00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:30.099 oh, it's these are real products. So it's not 00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:35.240 a scam. Yeah. Yeah. I just if it doesn't feel 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:38.200 right, go with your gut and. I think a lot of 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.160 people try to take advantage of high schoolers 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.440 even and people in their 20s especially because 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.400 they want to make fast money. And the elderly. 00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:52.039 And the elderly. They will fish out money. It's 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:54.759 like I always tell people if it sounds too good 00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:58.539 to be true, it's not a good thing. Not a good 00:31:58.539 --> 00:32:03.819 thing. So I just I want to help warn the young 00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:08.000 people too to not make those same mistakes of 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.460 a thing of, I mean, because when times are hard 00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:12.259 and people are desperate, people are going to 00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:15.099 go for the scams even more because they're going 00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:18.039 to think, oh, yeah, this sounds good. And you're 00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.640 going to waste your time and money when you could 00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.900 just be figuring out what you're good at and 00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:29.619 get better and make a business of it. And that's, 00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:32.180 I think, what our point was with the Q3 show. 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:35.859 to try and do that, but it was just for basically 00:32:35.859 --> 00:32:38.259 adults. But why not include the high schoolers 00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:41.559 in too? But I think the most vulnerable age group 00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:45.420 is high school, those preparing and coming out 00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:49.240 and that. But I would say it could be for anybody. 00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:52.319 I mean, there's a lot of people that are missing 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:56.319 gap skills in communication. And who wants to 00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:58.940 admit that they weren't prepared for high school? 00:32:59.420 --> 00:33:03.279 This could be their podcast, too. to be able 00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:06.640 to learn the things that maybe they have missed, 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.599 key communication things and I think there's 00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:12.599 a lot that we can offer to our young people and 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:16.059 also maybe older people too who feel like they've 00:33:16.059 --> 00:33:18.119 missed out and they weren't prepared. Oh my gosh, 00:33:18.140 --> 00:33:21.339 I feel like I wasn't prepared and I've learned 00:33:21.339 --> 00:33:23.519 a lot, I read a lot and I would just like to 00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:25.819 pass that knowledge along and work with people 00:33:25.819 --> 00:33:27.660 directly and that's the whole purpose of our 00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:30.299 membership. That's why I wanted to create that 00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:45.339 space for for them Exactly Yeah learning from 00:33:45.339 --> 00:33:47.859 other people's mistakes and I've made a lot of 00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:51.220 them and I don't want people to repeat it that's 00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:56.779 for sure Yeah And to our dear listeners, if you're 00:33:56.779 --> 00:33:59.279 hearing a lot of shooing away, we have two lovely 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.900 dogs. One is Whiskey's birthday. So he's an attention 00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:05.400 whore and he wants a lot of attention on his 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:09.139 birthday. So you can wish Whiskey a happy birthday. 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.900 Yes. The mischievous one. The mischievous one. 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:17.119 So that's the way lovely animals are. So we have 00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:21.280 pets. So we get to... You know, and we love them, 00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:26.460 they're family. I'm Auntie Jen, and that's what 00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:28.719 the Squeaky is. And you'll be seeing them at 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:32.260 our seminars. Yep. They'll be coming along. Yep. 00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:34.599 All the pets will be coming because pets are 00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:39.920 family. That's right. And Ramon's got a future 00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:43.800 dog coming and so do I. Yeah. So we'll have that. 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:49.070 They'll have their own little table. Yeah. Well. 00:34:51.050 --> 00:34:55.090 Oh, that'll work. Yeah. Well, you know, with 00:34:55.090 --> 00:34:59.070 the dogs. We already got the next two after this 00:34:59.070 --> 00:35:04.030 one that will be dropping in March. We have April 00:35:04.030 --> 00:35:07.610 and May episodes already ready that will be ready 00:35:07.610 --> 00:35:11.349 to for you. They're already scheduled the last 00:35:11.349 --> 00:35:14.829 Wednesday in April and May. And then we're going 00:35:14.829 --> 00:35:17.090 to come back together for the season finale. 00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:20.039 and then we'll be out for the summer preparing 00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.980 for season four. So I'm looking forward to that. 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:28.019 And we do have the membership, the Beta Omega 00:35:28.019 --> 00:35:32.219 membership league. One idea, Ramon, that I think 00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:36.460 it would be great to tell our listeners. And 00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:38.239 we just want to make sure we're all in a group. 00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:42.059 We hardly ever see each other. But I was thinking. 00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.980 In order to motivate our nice listeners, I had 00:35:46.980 --> 00:35:50.980 described the last episode about how we were 00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:55.199 going to do, we described it like a Costco, kind 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.760 of like where you pay a membership, small membership 00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.059 fee, and then you can get other things at discount 00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:05.280 and a lot of freebies for just $35. I was charging 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.619 $300 a month to go see it for my students that 00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:14.409 I would help. And I thought, gosh, for 35 bucks 00:36:14.409 --> 00:36:17.610 a month to test out our courses that we're going 00:36:17.610 --> 00:36:20.269 to put to full market price, which would be in 00:36:20.269 --> 00:36:23.650 the hundreds of dollars, you know, I mean, not 00:36:23.650 --> 00:36:25.849 too terribly expensive. Most of the courses I 00:36:25.849 --> 00:36:29.409 think that I see out there are, you know, that 00:36:29.409 --> 00:36:34.409 involved engagement with the instructors go for 00:36:34.409 --> 00:36:37.570 closer to a thousand dollars. And we're just 00:36:37.570 --> 00:36:41.159 charging thirty five dollars for to test out 00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:45.000 for feedback, but we would have that all be free 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:48.420 for all of season four just for feedback. We're 00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:52.219 $35 a month and they can test the courses out, 00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:55.199 our book club and other ideas that we come up 00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:01.179 with and their ideas too. So, I don't know. I 00:37:01.179 --> 00:37:04.039 couldn't think of a better deal to be able to 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:07.610 test it out, to be able to test out courses and 00:37:07.610 --> 00:37:09.909 other ideas that we come up with, or even that 00:37:09.909 --> 00:37:11.730 they come up with, that they could be a part 00:37:11.730 --> 00:37:15.070 of unpopular playground for us to be able to 00:37:15.070 --> 00:37:21.090 bring all of this wisdom to the world. Yep. You 00:37:21.090 --> 00:37:24.929 snooze, you lose. It's a phenomenal deal.

We're 00:38:15.380 --> 00:38:19.079 ironing out all the wrinkles now. Yeah. Not sure 00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.039 where you left out, but we were talking about 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.900 the Launchpad Summit 2026 about getting on the 00:38:24.900 --> 00:38:29.260 waiting list. Yep. and you have to be a beta 00:38:29.260 --> 00:38:32.539 league, beta omega league member and you can 00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:34.960 sign up on buy me a coffee and we'll put that 00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.460 in the show notes.

So pretty exciting. Yes. Be like 00:38:58.059 --> 00:39:02.460 the golden ticket for Willy Wonka. Yeah. So yeah, 00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:05.380 yeah. Kind of like the I don't know, it makes 00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:08.559 me think of like the at Disneyland, they have 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:12.619 the Club 33 members that are that you know, they 00:39:12.619 --> 00:39:17.380 get all these special benefits and perks that 00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:21.800 everybody else doesn't get. So yeah, so that's 00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.739 what would be it and our first 25 members. If 00:39:24.739 --> 00:39:27.699 you have a golden passport, you'll get, if you 00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:30.780 decide to come sign up for the summit and come 00:39:30.780 --> 00:39:34.260 to the Launchpad Summit in 2026, you'll have 00:39:34.260 --> 00:39:36.559 a, there'll be a special gold table that you'll 00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.940 be seated with. Oh yeah. Well, the awesome thing 00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:42.679 about this is we can do the coaching. Right. 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.619 Through the, we can do, you know, a little bit 00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:47.840 of coaching. We can do drawings for coachings, 00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:49.940 birthday drawings for the people that are in 00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:54.480 the league, which will be super cool. Life coaching. 00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:57.219 A little bit of life coaching for the people 00:39:57.219 --> 00:39:59.880 that are in the members, people that are in the 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:03.440 membership. The people that are first to join, 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:08.219 because we're going to open it up to 5 ,000 people 00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:12.519 and we're cutting off the limit at that. But 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:16.099 the sooner you get in, you'll get all this personal 00:40:16.099 --> 00:40:19.360 one -on -one treatment. that you normally won't 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:21.920 get when more people come, and I believe they 00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:25.900 will come. A word of mouth. A word of mouth. 00:40:25.940 --> 00:40:28.360 A word of mouth will bring the business. And 00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:35.599 it does. That's right. Woohoo! So that is, that's 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:38.920 all I can think of, really, for the hangout. 00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:42.300 We just, the whole purpose of this was to introduce 00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:45.900 you, Ramon, figure out what's been going on. 00:40:46.110 --> 00:40:48.590 what's going on and what's to come. Is there 00:40:48.590 --> 00:40:53.250 anything else you can think of, Ramon? I've said 00:40:53.250 --> 00:40:56.269 all I wanted to say for now. I just want to help 00:40:56.269 --> 00:40:59.289 people wherever they are. So that's really what 00:40:59.289 --> 00:41:03.750 I want to find out where most people are in life 00:41:03.750 --> 00:41:06.730 and what exactly they need. That's what's exciting 00:41:06.730 --> 00:41:09.769 to me just to find out. Okay. What's the, I guess, 00:41:09.869 --> 00:41:13.110 theme or like, what's the most common thing we're 00:41:13.110 --> 00:41:16.449 struggling with? you know, how can we best serve 00:41:16.449 --> 00:41:24.090 them? One of our taglines is stay curious. That's 00:41:24.090 --> 00:41:27.750 what we like to end with. And so I guess if you 00:41:27.750 --> 00:41:30.010 don't have anything else, Ramon, and you don't 00:41:30.010 --> 00:41:32.809 have anything else, Debbie, we'll go ahead and 00:41:32.809 --> 00:41:35.789 conclude this episode up. Does that sound good 00:41:35.789 --> 00:41:38.269 with everybody? Sounds good. I think we tackled 00:41:38.269 --> 00:41:41.269 a lot of what we want. And then we'll meet up 00:41:41.269 --> 00:41:45.230 again in May. So thank you for listening, everybody. 00:41:46.090 --> 00:41:50.530 And one, two, three, let's all say three together. 00:41:51.550 --> 00:41:59.909 Stay curious. Keep shining. I love it.

And this allows us to elaborate 00:43:19.860 --> 00:43:27.960 closely and to ensure the value we provide is 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:35.360 impactful with the confidence that what benefits 00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:41.369 you will benefit others as well.
