1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,520 All right, welcome to the Ocean Water Podcast. 2 00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:09,040 I have my good friend with me today, Jake Ribzic. 3 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:10,760 Did I get it right, brother? 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:11,760 Got it. 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,760 That's it. 6 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:13,760 Good, good, good. 7 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:22,080 So Jake just finished being the student body president at Saddleback College, and he has 8 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,200 now transferred to Cal State Fullerton to keep working on his schooling there. 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,880 They got a good online program for you so you can keep on trucking while society is 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,760 in a bit of an upheaval, and so I'm glad you can continue that. 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:47,160 And also Jake, at 18 years old, ran for San Clemente City Council, one of the youngest 12 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:54,240 people to ever run for that position, got a little over 7% of the vote. 13 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,320 There were so many candidates that he only lost a seat by 3%. 14 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,440 So I love talking to you, dude. 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,520 You're so smart, and I'm just honored that you're on here today, dude. 16 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,520 Thank you, Ryan. 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,000 I'm happy to be here. 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,360 You've definitely been an important person in my life, and I'm happy to sit down with 19 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,360 you and have a discussion. 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,360 It's awesome, man. 21 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:20,320 I love you, dude, and I've known Jake for a few years, and Jake has been dating our 22 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,320 good friend Sam. 23 00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:22,960 They've been together for a while. 24 00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,720 It's been great to watch, and so enjoying our time together today, dude. 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,960 So when you're at home these days and you do get a chance to go out to eat, where do 26 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,040 you go and what do you get? 27 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,840 I've worked at a lot of restaurants in San Clemente, in my hometown, so I'm going to 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,640 be honest with you, there are so many places that I go to that are so high on my list. 29 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,120 So I'll just name a few places. 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,920 Most of these places I've worked, but I work at places that I really agree with and that 31 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,920 I kind of vibe with. 32 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,560 So Casano's Pizza, that's for me the number one pizza restaurant in our town. 33 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,400 I love it there. 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,120 I love La Galette. 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,080 That's a restaurant at our local pier. 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,200 That's amazing, best, just amazing French crepes, great community, great family that's 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,800 working there. 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,000 And then I'll throw in a coffee shop. 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000 We both like coffee. 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,640 That's something we'll do. 41 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,360 I would say Zebra House, which I'm currently working at and I think for a craft coffee 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,640 shop to have the drive-through action going and to have the expansion going that they're 43 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,120 working on, I actually think it's a great community there. 44 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,120 But all coffee shops in San Clemente are solid. 45 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,200 We have a great community going of coffee. 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,280 Dude man, awesome brother, awesome. 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,280 So what are you doing these days, Jake? 48 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,720 And how did you get into it? 49 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,020 What are you up to? 50 00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:49,080 Right now I'm just trying to get that degree, man. 51 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,120 I really want to be a teacher. 52 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,080 That's something that since I was little, I've really admired my teachers. 53 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,440 And you kind of, I feel like a lot of people get that passion for what they want to do. 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,600 Maybe not this specific job, but if they want to be an orator, if they want to work with 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,600 their hands, if they want to do more physical work, I feel like you can start identifying 56 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,280 a lot of that early on. 57 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,840 And teachers are some are people who've always mentored me and they're people who I've always 58 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,760 just had crazy amounts of respect for. 59 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,560 So right now I'm at, as you mentioned, I'm at Fullerton. 60 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,960 I'm getting my degree in political science. 61 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:30,080 I would love to just get involved in teaching, become a teacher, do community service. 62 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,560 And yeah, I currently, as I mentioned before, I'm just at a coffee shop right now, right? 63 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,320 I'm just making people coffee, making people smile, doing everything one day at a time, 64 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,040 really into local politics. 65 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,560 So yeah, my future definitely is going to be involved with teaching, with politics, 66 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480 and just with making people smile, making people feel good. 67 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,560 Local community, I'm all about Team San Clemente. 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,560 So yeah. 69 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,560 I love it. 70 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,560 And making people think. 71 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,560 You have so much to offer. 72 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:05,560 And you have a lot of thoughts about a lot of subjects, which I love. 73 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,160 And you're one of those guys I can sit down and talk about 25 different things with. 74 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,160 It's great. 75 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,680 It's awesome. 76 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:22,160 So I remember chatting with you when you ran for city council. 77 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:32,880 And one of the things that was eye opening for you was actually how mean people my age 78 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,880 were being to you. 79 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,880 Right. 80 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:41,120 And I was able to help you, give you some advice a little bit about how to handle that. 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,520 And you're in a bare knuckle sport for sure. 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,800 So what are some of the things that you've learned in the last couple of years that were 83 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,800 just new for you? 84 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080 What are things you need to jump out at? 85 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,080 That's a great question. 86 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,960 Obviously, I ran for city council at 18. 87 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,440 So I was exposed to a lot of things that a lot of 18-year-olds aren't exposed to. 88 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,960 I'm not going to say all 18-year-olds, but I definitely was exposed to, as you kind of 89 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,080 mentioned, just some people are mean. 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,880 They verbally are mean. 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,400 Online, there's like an online sport to be a bully. 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:26,680 It's almost something people, I want to say they really get satisfied by being, I don't 93 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,560 know if they think they're being aggressive, but a lot of people are really aggressive 94 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,720 online as we see that. 95 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,760 So locally, I wasn't expecting to get any of that type of heat. 96 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,180 I mean, I bump into you at the grocery store. 97 00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:44,480 So if you're saying something mean about me online, the chances of us interacting are 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,680 slightly high. 99 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:53,920 So for sure, some things that I learned were to take criticism lightly and to understand 100 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,360 that when people are telling you something, they're projecting often. 101 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,440 So they're either projecting their own internalized feelings, they're projecting their lack of 102 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,920 understanding. 103 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,800 So I feel like when people were aggressive to me, they just had a lack of thoughtfulness, 104 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,220 a lack to hear the other side. 105 00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:18,480 So I definitely learned to take comments with a grain of salt. 106 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,500 But I've also learned through that experience to listen to people. 107 00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:29,160 If you're upset with me, if you're upset with one of my point of views, the best thing I 108 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,840 can do before attempting to engage in a conversation with you is hear you all the way through. 109 00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:40,560 Hear out why you feel that way, why it is that you feel like you need to be aggressive. 110 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Because a lot of the heat that I got was a little aggressive. 111 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,440 So a little aggressive. 112 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,280 So I definitely just learned to understand that everybody has a backstory. 113 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:57,040 If people are really anti me, they're really charged against me, oftentimes it's not the 114 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000 person they're charged against. 115 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,280 It's more or less the idea of what that represents. 116 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:05,820 So my political views, they don't like that idea. 117 00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:07,940 It's not particularly me. 118 00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:14,800 They don't like the fact that I lack the experience that they view important to be on a city council. 119 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,880 So I've just learned to really understand that everybody has a point of view. 120 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Everybody has a valid point of view. 121 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,760 Even people who are face value, like racist. 122 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,540 I feel like if you're a racist, that's not a good feeling to have. 123 00:07:29,540 --> 00:07:31,400 That's not something you should be doing. 124 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,560 But there is a perspective on why that individual is racist. 125 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,120 And I think what's something I really learned throughout my time running for city council 126 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,480 is to listen. 127 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,140 And listen, why is that individual feeling this way? 128 00:07:42,140 --> 00:07:50,000 Why is that person so charged about, you know, about an individual's race or an individual's 129 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000 political ideas? 130 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,840 So I definitely learned to take everything with a grain of salt, listen to people, and 131 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,520 just be respectful to others. 132 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,000 I think respect goes a long way. 133 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,440 I've been super respectful to my political opponents, right, who weren't respectful to 134 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,440 me. 135 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,080 And now we're able to have an adult conversation, which I appreciate, and we're able to get 136 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,280 past our differences and just talk about what matters, which in terms of my city council 137 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,400 run, what mattered to us was our city and our people. 138 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,400 You know? 139 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,040 Yeah, I think that's right. 140 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,680 I think that there's a lot of discourse. 141 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,520 I guess you could say now, discourse seems to be at an all time high. 142 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,080 Civil discourse is at an all time low. 143 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:48,200 And so what happens now is people attach their personhood to their ideas. 144 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:55,960 And what we lose in that is that you're supposed to respect, love, and be kind to others. 145 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160 Be kind to all people. 146 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:06,240 But you understand that our ideas are fluid and they change, and they change because we're 147 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,080 constantly learning. 148 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,480 So as we learn, our ideas adjust and they change and they evolve. 149 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:20,800 And so that's part of being human, is that we can consider new information, we can consider 150 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,520 new data, we can consider new experiences, and we add that into the algorithm that's 151 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,480 gotten us to where we are. 152 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:36,080 And so that's a beautiful thing when we're able to be kind and loving and respectful 153 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:43,520 to people, even as you understand that our ideas about life are always changing. 154 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,120 Right, I think being open minded is one of the best things you can do. 155 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,120 Because right now we're coming up on the next election, right after my election. 156 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,200 So it's a new election season and it's only been two years and I'm telling you, Ryan, 157 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,120 there are things that I've changed my mind about within these two years, going from an 158 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,960 18 year old to a 20 year old. 159 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,880 And I'm 100% confident that I didn't, you know, if I could basically debate myself from 160 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,080 the past on some of like the issues that I was talking about. 161 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,080 So being open minded, right? 162 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:21,200 So being open minded is like key to being to being a good resident of a city, right? 163 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600 There's so many different point of views in a resident of a city. 164 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,240 I think being open minded is really important as an individual, because we all have personal 165 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,040 interactions where, oh, you do that. 166 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,200 That's, you know, that's not something I do. 167 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,440 So I think having that open minded perspective is super important. 168 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,720 And it's something that I learned running from city council, running for city council, 169 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,720 rather. 170 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,440 It's something that I'm learning as I get older. 171 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,220 And it's something that I really cherish the ability to be open minded and the ability 172 00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:53,440 to have just to listen, you know, full stop to listen. 173 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,440 I love that. 174 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,840 And you know, you bring up a good point about being open minded. 175 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:03,800 And part of that, part of the reason why we evolve, we change is because we're curious. 176 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:10,440 One of my favorite questions to ask people is, you know, what are you curious about these 177 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,820 days? 178 00:11:11,820 --> 00:11:13,920 So what are you curious about these days, Jake? 179 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,600 And what are you interested in? 180 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,560 Wow, there's so much Ryan, there's so much to be curious about every day. 181 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:26,240 There is, you know, just in terms of our immediate life, you know, COVID-19 is something that 182 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,800 is constantly it's a theme throughout our lives. 183 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,680 And every single day, there's a new vaccine developed. 184 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,800 There's a new this developed. 185 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,240 I think there's so much conversation going around. 186 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,560 I feel like there are certain themes that we can be really curious about through our 187 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,120 whole lives, or we can really focus on. 188 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200 And I think one of those things is how people live, right? 189 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,880 I'm super curious about that. 190 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,040 I am. 191 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,840 I'm from Colorado, Boulder, Colorado. 192 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,640 It's where I have lived 13 years of my life there. 193 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,600 I was born in Colorado. 194 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:02,160 I was so used to living a certain way, and being around a certain group of people. 195 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,640 So then moving out here, I kind of had a few out here in San Clemente, I had a few years 196 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,800 of not depression, but just being repressed, not being myself, not being not exploring my 197 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,320 environment around me, but fully coming to understanding of how beautiful San Clemente 198 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:25,840 is, how different it is from where I'm from has been an eye opening experience for me. 199 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,040 And I think one of the most important things I've learned is just to observe the environment 200 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,360 around you to get involved and to kind of push yourself in an area that you've never 201 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,360 been. 202 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:43,280 I'll bring you up for example, I didn't grow up in a religious household by any means. 203 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,160 I never attended church at all. 204 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,360 It wasn't at all an active decision by my family. 205 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,760 It was just something that we've always avoided, right? 206 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,480 But coming out here to San Clemente and kind of part of my story of coming out of my shell 207 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,240 was attending church for the first time and just kind of being in an environment that 208 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:08,600 I was totally uncomfortable in and learning to adapt and learning to enjoy adapting was 209 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,560 really something that brought me out of my shell from a 13 year old who moved from Colorado, 210 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:18,700 who never would go outside and enjoy the beach to now somebody who I can't stand to be inside. 211 00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:23,720 And I think just taking that risk to go to a place that you've never been like a church 212 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,960 and the willingness to listen and open has been super important in my life. 213 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,920 And it's why I got to the point where within five years of living here, I felt like I could 214 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,480 do something like run for city council, where if you ask the 13 year old, you know, Jake, 215 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,580 who just moved from Colorado, I could, you know, I couldn't even stand going to the beach. 216 00:13:42,580 --> 00:13:47,360 So something I've really learned is just to just to try things, right? 217 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,080 I mean, I'll try but I feel like we can all do a better job of trying more and doing more 218 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,000 to get out of, you know, your comfort zone. 219 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,120 I love it, man. 220 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,120 Yeah. 221 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,680 So what is what's something that you you have failed at? 222 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:08,680 That you like to talk about? 223 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,840 I mean, I don't want to talk about the tests I failed, right? 224 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,560 I don't want to talk about. 225 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,200 I mean, it's just a theme. 226 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:23,640 I mean, I definitely I like the word failure, because I think it represents one side of 227 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,000 a coin, right? 228 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,920 Because although there is a failure, there is always something born out of that. 229 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,640 So I'll just kind of pivot directly back to my city council run, right? 230 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,160 That on its face was a failure in the sense that I didn't achieve the goal that I set 231 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,840 out to achieve. 232 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,760 That goal was to be on the city council. 233 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,760 Right. 234 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,500 But I failed, if you will, at that. 235 00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:50,600 But in turn, I've met incredible, incredible local legends, right? 236 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,240 I've met people who have taught me more than I could have have ever learned online. 237 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Right. 238 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:03,080 I gained friendships and different relationships with business owners and people in our community 239 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,980 that I didn't ever thought like I never thought that would be possible. 240 00:15:06,980 --> 00:15:10,120 So I failed at running for city council. 241 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000 But I gained so much, right? 242 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,520 So much through that experience where it almost feels like it's not a failure. 243 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Right. 244 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,720 I've run the people who were voting for me, but at the same rate, I feel like we all kind 245 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,720 of expressed ourselves in a way that a lot of us weren't comfortable doing. 246 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,720 Right. 247 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,240 Like the kind of campaign I ran, a lot of people in San Clemente weren't willing to 248 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,680 express some of their feelings for a new leadership or for ideas which are not traditional in 249 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,680 San Clemente. 250 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:46,920 So to bring those people out was like something that really touched me to have those relationships 251 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,920 really touched me. 252 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,360 That's something I failed at. 253 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,960 But at the same rate, I feel like it was such a success that it's only the other side of 254 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,960 the coin. 255 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,960 Right. 256 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,280 I feel like with every failure, there is a success. 257 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:04,000 So yeah, city council is something that I almost am hesitant to call it a failure, my 258 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,760 race, because I gained so much more. 259 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,680 And the people that I was running against, I now have extremely close relationships with 260 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,200 two years later. 261 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,820 So I think failure is one of those tricky words where are you ever really just failing 262 00:16:18,820 --> 00:16:22,160 or is there that opportunity in the failure? 263 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,160 You understand? 264 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,160 Yeah, totally understand. 265 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,960 I didn't view it that way. 266 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:35,480 It's funny how when the way we view ourselves and the way other people might view this, 267 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,480 I certainly did. 268 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:44,640 And I was really, really proud of you for making a point about in our town, you can 269 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,000 go to you can go to Camp Pendleton and you can sign up to put your life on the line for 270 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,720 the country that you live in. 271 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,000 And so it would only make logical sense that at the same age, you should be able to offer 272 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,520 your perspective on the other side of things about how to present policies and ideas that 273 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,400 make it a better place to live. 274 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,400 Right. 275 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,200 And I feel like I don't think it's wise to tell people that you can you can put your 276 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,920 life on your line for the place that you live, but you're not allowed to bring your ideas 277 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:20,200 to the table that might make it a more appealing place for people to live. 278 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,760 That makes total sense. 279 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,800 And I mean, I think wisdom is something that we definitely have to we have to understand 280 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,480 there is power and wisdom. 281 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,560 Okay, like knowledge and being wise and, you know, having years on you. 282 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,120 There's definitely something that is important about that. 283 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:43,160 And there we do need that aspect in our society, you know, to kind of level the playing field 284 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:49,240 of the new ideas mixed with, you know, the tried and true what works, what hasn't worked. 285 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,000 I feel like that's a good balance. 286 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,480 So going into the space of politics at such a young age, I'm surrounded by people who 287 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,360 are so much more wise than me. 288 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:06,240 But what they lack in wisdom is understanding the growing up in the society that they have 289 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,320 built and understanding what, you know, life is like for a person of my age. 290 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,680 So I definitely I definitely wanted to get involved in something like city politics. 291 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,440 And I'm I still want to get involved in the city, not even in terms of politics, but just 292 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,720 in these day to day interactions with businesses and local leaders, because I think there's 293 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,640 so much to learn from everybody, no matter your age. 294 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,640 And I feel like you can't even put wisdom to an age. 295 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,440 We all have different aspects of wisdom. 296 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,760 And you always hear people be referred to as like an old soul, right, like younger people 297 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,880 being referred to as an old soul. 298 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,960 But they just, you know, we all have aspects of that within ourselves. 299 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,780 And it's just that that wisdom that we have from our individual experiences, which kind 300 00:18:46,780 --> 00:18:49,600 of allow us to to spread that wisdom. 301 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,760 So running for city council was something that I definitely was worried about. 302 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,680 Do I have, you know, deep down, I was wondering, do I have these knowledge, the knowledge and 303 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,360 skills that a traditional city council member has? 304 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:06,320 And then I quickly learned that I'm bringing more to the table because I have a different 305 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,480 set of skills, a different set of being wise. 306 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,480 Yeah. 307 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:20,680 And then and then you realize that there isn't age doesn't equal wisdom. 308 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,200 Right. 309 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:28,240 Because there are people that have been 21 years old for 21 years straight and they're 310 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,240 42. 311 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:35,040 But they've really just been 21 for 21 years straight. 312 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:42,360 And then conversely, there's there's people that are 20 that are that have immersed themselves 313 00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:43,360 in. 314 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:48,880 And so all those all those ideas and algorithms, I think, go right out the window. 315 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,760 And I think that, you know, a wise person when you meet one. 316 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,760 Right. 317 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:58,240 I believe I believe that people are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. 318 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,800 And I think people are able to to distinguish the wise ones. 319 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,720 And so that's where we just we just hope and pray that God will help us be one. 320 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,720 Right. 321 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Right. 322 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,720 And everything is not so linear. 323 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,720 Right. 324 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,560 Like we can always be a better person, be a wise person, gain that knowledge. 325 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,200 You know, life is really what we make of it. 326 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,640 So I feel like we all have the capability to to work at just knowledge. 327 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,840 You know, knowledge is something that there's so many different fields. 328 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:36,040 To me, it's one of the keys to just doing what doing what you're meant to do. 329 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,040 Right. 330 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Following that purpose of serving, you know, God, for instance, like I really feel like 331 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,320 if you're able to open your mind to the different levels of knowledge that are available to 332 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,920 you, you're going to be able to succeed quicker towards those goals and become a wiser person 333 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,920 more than if you were just, you know, not participating in the outside world or not 334 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,040 opening up your eyes or having conversations, which sometimes might get deep or uncomfortable. 335 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,920 I think that's all a part of wisdom. 336 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,920 Right. 337 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,440 Is having that lived experience of actively becoming wiser. 338 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,960 You know, it's great, man. 339 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,960 Good. 340 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,960 I know you have a lot. 341 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,960 You got a lot in you, dude. 342 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,400 I know you stuff. 343 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,840 Let's let's hang up. 344 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,080 Let's hang a bit of a right and let's talk about water for a moment. 345 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,680 A lot of times when I put this this virtual background on here, people think that's a 346 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,880 cute, cute photo or this is actually a very personal photo. 347 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,160 And for two reasons. 348 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,840 One is the place. 349 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,080 The photo that I have for my background is is Palmercito El Salvador. 350 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:48,160 And the guy inside of that way in a nice little tube is my friend Sopapo. 351 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,960 And he has was born in this place where this photo was taken right in front of his home. 352 00:21:53,960 --> 00:22:00,440 And this is a place where we've sent 130 people in the last since 2015 to help us some water 353 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,960 projects there. 354 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,880 And but Jay, kind of give me your understanding, if you will, just like the world of water. 355 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,880 What are what are your thoughts on that? 356 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,760 I mean, I understand this. 357 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,360 I mean, I understand like here I'll talk about my lived experience. 358 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:22,840 So here in the United States, right, I think water is something that I take for granted 359 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,840 every day. 360 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,840 All right. 361 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,440 I have plenty of plants that I, you know, just feed feed. 362 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,080 I give them tons of water. 363 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,920 I myself have access to crazy amounts of water to the point where I'm not even actively thinking 364 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,920 about it. 365 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,920 Right. 366 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,200 I don't want to take a shower longer than 10 minutes or, you know, I don't leave my 367 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,200 faucet on. 368 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,480 But I really am not ever thinking about where my water is coming from. 369 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,040 I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. 370 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,080 I try to filter out my water. 371 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:57,720 I try to avoid water bottles, you know, like the plastic pre done water bottle, because 372 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,760 I just don't I don't understand the reasoning behind it other than just convenience. 373 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,160 And I feel like I have a hydro flask. 374 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,560 I much more prefer that. 375 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:12,280 I know what kind of water I'm putting in it, and I'm not producing as much waste as I would 376 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,960 be if I had a plastic water bottle worldwide. 377 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,800 I just I understand. 378 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,600 Like I was talking about Syria, where right now they have a civil war. 379 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:27,880 A huge aspect of that civil war is the lack of drinking water and the lack of water for 380 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,880 farming. 381 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,600 So this is a desert in the Middle East and an area where there are already groups like, 382 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,280 you know, ISIS and, you know, there's a war happening in a lot of aspects of this of this 383 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,280 region. 384 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:46,000 But when you take away something as vital as water, you see how things escalate so quickly. 385 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,400 So water is definitely something that I for sure take for granted. 386 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,680 But it's something that, you know, I love. 387 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,160 I mean, to put it straight, like I need water. 388 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,160 We all need water. 389 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,800 It's something that I don't know what I would do if I was in that position where, you know, 390 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,120 you're telling me to limit how much water I can put on my plants, which they've done 391 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:08,520 in plenty of areas of the United States. 392 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,600 Or take it a step further. 393 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,880 You're telling me that I can't even drink water or that I have to go to a well far away 394 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,420 to access that water. 395 00:24:16,420 --> 00:24:17,840 Maybe it's not even clean. 396 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,680 That's something that I my perspective is not aware of. 397 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,920 I haven't had that lived perspective. 398 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,800 So I definitely take water for granted. 399 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,800 That's for sure. 400 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:33,640 Well, you know, we all have plenty of plenty of that here. 401 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,640 It's really interesting. 402 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:41,040 I became exposed to kind of what I call like the world of water back in 2010. 403 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,560 I had gone on a bicycle ride and I traveled for a year on my bicycle. 404 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,520 I rode across Canada and the United States and down in South America, down into Columbia 405 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,520 actually. 406 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:58,160 I spent a year, I rode 10,000 miles through 10 countries. 407 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:04,680 And on that, I slept in a hammock and actually wrote a little a little book about it. 408 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,960 And on that journey that I called Ride for Water, I learned all about water. 409 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:18,160 What I discovered was that one in eight people in the world have a water problem, meaning 410 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,880 that they have a quality problem where they can't access it. 411 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,880 Right. 412 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:28,680 And on top of that, the people that can't access it or have poor quality also pay the 413 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,000 most for it. 414 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000 Right. 415 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,560 So there's access inequality and there's actually a cost inequality. 416 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:42,120 And then as I was doing my doctorate in public health, I discovered that really, we have 417 00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:49,800 the technology to turn small amounts of ocean water into drinking water for people. 418 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,600 And so that led me into the work that I'm doing now, which is actually called ocean 419 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,600 water. 420 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:01,960 And one of the reasons why I love having these conversations with people like you is one, 421 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,760 you're really interesting, fun to talk to. 422 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:11,560 But also every good thing that's happened in my life has always happened through a conversation. 423 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,600 Somebody that, you know, kind of maybe said something that a lot of times when you're 424 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,160 talking to people, you think like, you can't even remember what you said, but then it'll 425 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,200 click, like something will click with something that you talked about, like a sentence or 426 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,840 a word or something that you read somewhere. 427 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,920 And it always changed for me, always started with a nice conversation. 428 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,480 And that's how I stumbled into the work that I'm doing now is that it's really been a 10 429 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,480 year journey. 430 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:45,440 And now we've identified rural and small coastal areas around the world where we could put 431 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,160 them in these systems and they'll turn about 300 gallons a day of ocean water into drinking 432 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,920 water using solar, which is very interesting. 433 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:05,360 And that's exciting because it gives people who are bearing the highest economic cost 434 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:08,240 for this fundamental human right. 435 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,520 And so we're able to solve a few problems. 436 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:16,840 And it's really, really satisfying, really, really satisfying when you're able to help 437 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,200 people that way. 438 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,800 I mean, a hundred percent, because even in, if I'll interrupt real quickly, like even 439 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:30,680 in the United States, we have Flint, Michigan, which is infamous for having lead in their 440 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,320 drinking water. 441 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:38,960 So if you're able to almost reverse engineer it to a simple solar conversion, I mean, you 442 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,800 can really be avoiding like a lot of problems. 443 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,400 Like water is just one of the most important things. 444 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,360 So you'd even think in a, in a first world country, if you will, like the United States, 445 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:48,600 there isn't any water issues. 446 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,960 Like there still are water issues. 447 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,840 It's funny you brought that up because a good friend of mine, Jason Matthews, he actually 448 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,320 asked me to look into some research for Flint, Michigan. 449 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,560 I said, of course. 450 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:07,720 And him and I are talking about what I'm kind of in a discussion with him that's evolving 451 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,120 about what, you know, what, what can we do? 452 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:15,840 That's a different problem because there's been so much industrial waste pollution there 453 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,920 that that the water table has essentially been contaminated. 454 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:20,920 I understand. 455 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,960 It's, it, yeah, it's, it's a very complex issue. 456 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,560 It's not as simple as fixing infrastructure. 457 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:35,320 Even if you fix the infrastructure is a massive problem, but it, it's almost like each home 458 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:46,320 there needs a specific system installed in it that removes lead and arsenic from the 459 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,720 entire water system for the house. 460 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:58,600 That's, that's an expensive proposition when you're looking at a problem that affects the 461 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:04,040 a hundred thousand people more in the area, more than that. 462 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,440 So yeah, it's, you're right. 463 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:11,640 You know, we, we have so much and there's so much work to do. 464 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:19,200 There's so many people to try to try and help and it's good to keep the conversation going. 465 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,880 I know, I know in El Salvador, for example, we, we, we've started, we've, we've installed 466 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:30,520 a system there, but then also there was, there was a family that, so the system we've installed 467 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,840 in El Salvador services 38 families. 468 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,640 And there's also a family that had a storm recently in the midst of all this COVID, they 469 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,560 were on lockdown, like we were here in the United States and they, there was a family 470 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,320 that lost a home. 471 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,240 And so now we're in discussion about, yeah, we've, we've provided water. 472 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,760 And in addition, we've also fed those 38 families. 473 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,560 This guy in this way right here is him and his family have taken responsibility, full 474 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,320 responsibility for feeding all 38 of those families and providing water for them. 475 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,400 And we're now in discussions about how to build that family that lost their home, how 476 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,160 to rebuild their home in April on a trip that we're going to take down their own spring 477 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,160 break. 478 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,160 Pretty cool. 479 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,160 Oh, wow. 480 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,160 Yeah, no, that's excellent. 481 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,160 Yeah. 482 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,160 Yeah. 483 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,160 Yeah. 484 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,160 Really fun. 485 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,160 Yeah. 486 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,160 I mean, you're helping, I mean, it just shows that we're a global community, right? 487 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,080 And that like, there is no border that can, you know, stop a human from helping another 488 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,080 human. 489 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,600 You know, it's like we have this innate thing. 490 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:33,160 I feel like a lot of us do to just, you know, I don't know if it's a natural thing. 491 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,280 I don't know what it is, but just to help people. 492 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,960 And oftentimes the people we're not helping, I feel it's just because we don't understand 493 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,880 and we don't hear enough about these types of people. 494 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:49,400 So you know, once again, like water is something that we have such crazy access to here in 495 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,680 the United States. 496 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:57,960 I don't hear enough stories about areas where they're not able to get water, areas where, 497 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,340 you know, their infrastructure is down to the point where it's going to take till April 498 00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:04,680 to be able to, you know, start to reconstruct that life. 499 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,080 Where here in San Clemente, I feel like it would be pretty quick, you know, if something 500 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,120 happened to us, we would be pretty quick to get things fixing up again. 501 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,520 So that's crazy. 502 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,960 But that's really awesome that, you know, you're involved in that and that, you know, 503 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,760 that community is even able to like luckily at this moment get clean water, right? 504 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,120 Even which is just such a basic thing. 505 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:38,320 Yeah, I taught my granddaughter Aubrey, if you go up by San Clemente summit, you'll notice 506 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:43,040 that there's a giant water storage up by San Clemente summit. 507 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:49,760 And that's because one of the first things you do if you go into a hilly area and you 508 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:55,060 have the means to do it, you store water. 509 00:31:55,060 --> 00:32:00,920 Because if something happens, some sort of catastrophe, the gravity can be used to distribute 510 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:01,920 it. 511 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,600 And so it's a little little little kind of a side little factor that I've been teaching 512 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,600 peanut. 513 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:08,600 That's crazy, though. 514 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,400 Yeah, yeah, it's super interesting. 515 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,400 Right. 516 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:17,680 But dude, I have just I've been having so much fun just watching you do well. 517 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,120 Thank you. 518 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160 Yeah, it's just fun to watch your life. 519 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,360 You and Sam are killing it. 520 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,360 And you're like had a rad time in Saddleback. 521 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,360 Now you're over Fullerton. 522 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,360 And it's just awesome. 523 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Yeah, it's good to be in your life, dude. 524 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,080 And what I would like to end with this, what what do we what do we need to hear from Jake 525 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,080 today, dude? 526 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,080 What do you got to close this out? 527 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,080 What do you want to say? 528 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,600 This is what I gotta say. 529 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,920 Today is a beautiful day. 530 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,160 And I'm not just talking about San Clemente. 531 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,560 I'm talking about wherever you are in the world right now, tuning in, watching this. 532 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,120 Maybe it's tomorrow you're watching it. 533 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,880 But the day that you're watching this, there is potential to do great things. 534 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,000 So just get out there. 535 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,700 You know, this might be a little ironic because we're on a screen right now. 536 00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:03,520 But tune out the screen. 537 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,200 Look at the people around you communicate to the people around you. 538 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:13,140 You know, if you're being hit by COVID-19, do it out of, you know, the the right way. 539 00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:15,040 But for sure, my advice is this. 540 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,820 Get up, do something, enjoy, enjoy the physical world because there's so much beautiful things 541 00:33:19,820 --> 00:33:23,080 that we have to offer in this world. 542 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080 Protect it for sure. 543 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,560 Love it, dude. 544 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,160 Jake Rizvik,
