1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Stephen

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Never Told You Prediction of iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: And welcome to today's feminist around the World. And we're

4
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: kind of switching it up a bit, not too much,

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: but we are featuring an activist but with a twist.

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: So recently in an upcoming episode, we're predicting the future.

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: All love how podcasting works where we're just kind of

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: doing all the episodes and then it rearranges itself on

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: the timeline and we never really know exactly when to

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: publish or when we're going to publish or change the

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: publishing because.

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: It does kind of feel like time travelings.

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: It does right, I think like and also mainly because

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: future us if we ever like get referenced back to

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: these episodes, like not realizing what we're talking about. You know,

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: we talk about the New Year's Prediction episode often because

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: we it built so badly, that terrible. When we do

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: things like that, it's gonna like you never really know.

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: But with that an upcoming episode, if you're listening to

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: when this is released, we have already recorded an episode

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: that's coming in the future, very very close future. But

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: we get to sit down again with our friend Bridget

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: so excited to have our back on. We talked about

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: organizing and boycotting because you know, things are happening, which

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: led to me talking about something that I've been seeing

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: in my feed. And it was an interesting like poll

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: between the three of us because like I was getting

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: small bits of it, while apparently Bridget was getting a

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: lot more and you had no idea because you're not

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: on the social media. Is like that, Oh fair enough,

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: But anyway, with all of that, yes, this kind of

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: came in with this. So today is February twenty fifth,

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. Oh, look at that's the sick number.

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: And one thing we love is organizing and with that

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: people who are good at it. So we love people

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: who are good at it. For myself, I admire that

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: as a quality that seems so far away from me

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: and so seems like a superpower any one of those,

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: because you're also one of those who gets frazzled and

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: then gets really productive, as where I get frazzled and

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: I quit. So again, when I see people being active

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: and being on top of things and being organized and ahead,

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm always like, wow, what, But I'm talking about organization

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: in an activist level. So if your feed looks like mine,

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: which I'm saying like I get little bits of it,

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: you may have come across a CALSET action for the

47
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: economic blackout for this Friday, February twenty eighth, twenty twenty five.

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: So it is coming up very quickly, And if you haven't,

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: here's a bit of information from Salon dot com. A

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: New Yorker transplanted to the Midwest, John Schwartz, originated the

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: People's Union Economic Blackout set for a Friday that aims

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: to unite consumers, reminding them and the corporate retailers and

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: services they patronize. As the might of a single dollar,

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: that act can create powerful change. And so the article

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: goes on explaining more, saying the one day blackout, which

56
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: has gone viral since its announcement in early February, is

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: to see folks across the country spend no money at

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: corporate retailers such as Target, Amazon, and Walmart. The action

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: includes skipping fast food restaurants, avoiding gas stations, and putting

60
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: away the credit cards except for at small businesses and

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: independent community establishments. So really great idea. I came across this,

62
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: and because again I feel like we have to be

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: really really hyper sensitive and aware and do some research.

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know much about it, and I was say,

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: is this a good thing? Is this with these things?

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: And Bridget as you will hear on that next episode

67
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: kind of explains a little more. And if you have

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: the time, you need to go listen. It's a great

69
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: episode coming up, just to hype it up a bit,

70
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: just to hype it up a bit more and just

71
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: about how effective this type of action or an organization

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: can be. But that's not necessarily what we're talking about

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: for this episode. In that same Salon article, they interview

74
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Nikki Pourchet about this type of activism, and that is

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: who we are featuring today. We want to talk about

76
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: her and her work, so she does come into play,

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: and we're going to read a little bit from her

78
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: in that same interview in this conversation about this economic blackout,

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: but before we do that, we do want to highlight

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: who she is and what she's doing. So Poorche is

81
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: the founder of Buy from a Black Woman, which is

82
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: a nonprofit that uplifts and empowers and support black women

83
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: owned businesses small black women owned businesses. A bit from

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: the website Buy from a Black woman dot org quote.

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: Black women have been leading the numbers when it comes

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: to starting a business, but annual cells for black women

87
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: business owners are five times smaller than all women owned

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: businesses due to lack of support and awareness. That's where

89
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 2: Buy from a Black Woman comes in. Since twenty sixteen,

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: Buy from a Black Woman has empowered, educated, and inspired

91
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: black women business owners and the people who support them.

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: Buy from a Black Woman ensures that Black women have

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: the tw and resources that will allow them to be successful.

94
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: Through educational programs, an online directory, and funding, Buy from

95
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: a Black Woman continues to grow as a trusted resource

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: that helps Black women in businesses. Going back to Bridget,

97
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: we had a whole conversation about black women businesses and

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: getting funds and grants and how the government is against them.

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: It has been from jump before this administration. Even so,

100
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: organizations like this are really important to keep us aware

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: and informed of businesses that are out there that we

102
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: should be supporting. That's a excite note. And yeah, her

103
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: organization has been around since twenty sixteen for a minute,

104
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: bringing awareness in supporting small black women owned businesses, and

105
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: so a bit of information about her specifically from her

106
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: LinkedIn account. She writes, I am here to ensure that

107
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: black women are seen, supported and heard. I open doors

108
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: for black women business owners and advocate for them at

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: every level of the business ecosystem. I push for change

110
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: at the policy level, champions supply diversity at the corporate level,

111
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: mentor black women founders at the business level. And I

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: also educate consumers on how to support black women entrepreneurs conscientiously,

113
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: sustainably and long term. And I've managed to get incredible

114
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: results because of my approach. I've built the highest ranking

115
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: online directory of black women owned brands, secured partnerships with

116
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: major organizations like h and M, the IRS, and PayPal,

117
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: helped black women drive over two point seven million dollars

118
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: in revenue, and built an engage community of two hundred

119
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: and sixty two thousand plus supporters. I believe that black

120
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: women deserve an equal chance, so I do everything I

121
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: can to make sure they get the best tools and

122
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: resources to start, build and sustain thriving businesses. So she

123
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: is doing some amazing work and in an interview with

124
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: the Wiresuit dot Com, she talks about her journey in

125
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: creating this nonprofit, and she says it started off as

126
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: a blog where I highlighted black owned brands so people

127
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: could buy from them. And I started the blog after

128
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: attending an event with just women owned brands and realizing

129
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: that I was the only Black woman in the room,

130
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: which opened my eyes to the lack of support that

131
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: black women entrepreneurs receive in general. And I believe that

132
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 2: when things like this are revealed to you is because

133
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be a part of a solution. So

134
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: I decided to do something about it. I started buying

135
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: from black women and blogging about my journey, and people

136
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 2: loved it. They wanted to be involved. Businesses started reaching

137
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: out and asking how they could get featured, and people

138
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: kept asking how they could send me money to support

139
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: the movement, which is how the blog evolved into a

140
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: nonprofit and we awarded our first business grant. That was

141
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: back in twenty sixteen, and we've come a long way

142
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: since then. So in that same interview, she talks about

143
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: why she wanted to do this work, and she says,

144
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: I've been called to serve and have always worked in

145
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: service to others in some way. I served my country

146
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: when I was in the military. I'm a decorated war

147
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: veteran who did two tours in Iraq. I also taught

148
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: in the public school systems and worked in the nonprofit industry.

149
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: So when I realized that I needed to do something

150
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: about the inequalities that black women in business owner's face,

151
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: and I started up thinking of how I could be

152
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: a part of that solution. It occurred to me that

153
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: my background and experience made me perfect for the job.

154
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: It was just clear to me that this is the

155
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: path that I'm supposed to be on. And she's doing

156
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: a great job with her nonprofit. She's also a writer

157
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,880

170
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: to jump in. So hey podcast recommendation from us Yeah

171
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: and also possible guess yeah, just you know, you know

172
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: how we do care of course and as a trust

173
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: the source for small black women owned business. She has

174
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 2: some insight on this Friday's economic blackout, So this is

175
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: how I discovered her in the first place. So we

176
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: want to talk about her thoughts on this. Going back

177
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: to that Salon dot Com article quote, Nikki Poorchet, founder

178
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: of Buy from a Black Woman, a business support organization,

179
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: favors the idea of financial resistance on Friday and advocates

180
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: for a multi pronged, long term strategy. She says the

181
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: strike will only be effective with mass participation, media coverage,

182
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: and sustained behavior change going forward. If people return to

183
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: their usual spending patterns the next day, the momentum can

184
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: be lost. Additionally, without clear demands or follow up actions,

185
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: corporate may not feel compelled to change, she said, and

186
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: then she continues the strike raises awareness about economic disparities

187
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: and corporate accountability, encouraging people to be more intentional with

188
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: their dollars. It also sends a clear message that marginalized

189
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: communities hold financial power and will not support businesses that

190
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: harm them. So I think this is such a great

191
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: conversation because it is it is this larger picture that

192
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: we have been talking about about what is this effect,

193
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: how is this effective? And how do we know it's

194
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: going to be effective because it seems like boycotting on

195
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: a personal level doesn't necessarily do anything, and we know

196
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: that when it comes to accessibility, that's a whole conversation

197
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: that we have to have. On top of that, but

198
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: taking time and taking a business like if a chunk

199
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: of people, even if it's like ten percent of the

200
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: people stopped buying for one day, and those numbers will

201
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: affect the corporations. So again referring back to the episode

202
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: that we recorded with Bridget, she does talk about how

203
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: corporations do see this as a threat, and I think

204
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: that's a big conversation. And then having people like Porchet

205
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: who has done the work for us and is showing

206
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: us and giving us an actual list, handing us a

207
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: list of trusted businesses, a small own businesses by black women,

208
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: that's so great. Like I've been asking, we know this,

209
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: We've been asking how do we ethically buy a good presence.

210
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: How would we all these things because it feels like

211
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: all the corporations, even the quote unquote good ones, are

212
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: not great. So like she has done the work for

213
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: us and being like buy from here. So if you

214
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: do buy on Friday, we are asking you to be

215
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: a part of this initiative of this blackout. Do not

216
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 2: buy from corporations if you can. We know things happen,

217
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: We know like people have accessibility issues and things have

218
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: to be done. We know it might be a very

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: last minute. So apologies because like I said, it's kind

220
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: of popped in a few things here and there on

221
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: my feed, but I kind of like didn't know if

222
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: there was an actual thing that's bad on my part,

223
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: but that if you are going to buy, purchase, or

224
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: do anything to do from small business, go to buy

225
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: from a black woman dot com and they have great lists,

226
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: they have waste of support. Porchet has done a lot

227
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: of the work obviously, and then we had already talked

228
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: about previously content creators who are also getting us a

229
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: list of people who we should support and buy from,

230
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: and those are important things to look.

231
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: At, yes, And I would say, also, I know I

232
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: really foundered when at the beginning of the year you

233
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: asked me my resolutions, my goals, I would say in general,

234
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: one of mine has been like to buy less, and

235
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: we talk about that in the episode coming up with

236
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: Bridget's episode, especially if it's not something I really need

237
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: or you know, shop your own closet, that kind of thing.

238
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: Although I just wear pajamas and T shirts now, so

239
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter. But you know, that is something I've

240
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: been really trying to do. So do this, but also

241
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: keep it in mind going forward where you can make

242
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: the changes, try to make those changes.

243
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, And I think we do. I think we

244
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: will come back and have a bigger conversation about what

245
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: these types of thoughtful purchasing I guess awful buying uh

246
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: does look like, as well as looking at groups like

247
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: you know, buy nothing groups. Even though it's on Facebook,

248
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: where else is it on? Is it on the neighbored

249
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: one next door? Yeah?

250
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: They do post on there. Oh my goodness, so much

251
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: strama happening on my next story right now. But I

252
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: mean that's the complexity of it, which we do talk

253
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: about in that episode of Bridget as well. It's like,

254
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to make your compromises of well, I'll

255
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: give up this thing, but I can't really give up

256
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: this thing, or it's difficult, But to have those conversations,

257
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: to have those thoughts, and to really try what you

258
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: can if you can, because not everybody has the ability

259
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: to do it like some of us do. So Tea

260
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: just think about it, try to do it where you can,

261
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: because it's definitely hit and where it hurts. Soul Wallet. Yes, well,

262
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions listeners for organizations we should

263
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: look into people, we should look into businesses like these
