23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: Welcome to the good stuff. Actually, we talked me about

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: your office a little bit. Walk me through a wee

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: guy here see a lot of shapes that appeared to

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: be the state of Texas.

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: You would be correct in that assessment. I do laugh

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: whenever we give people tours of our office because my

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: office is very, very Texasy. So I've got the Travis

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Letter in my office with the Republic of Texas seal

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: picture of the Alamo. I've got the Travis letter again.

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: What is the Travis Letter.

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: It's the letter that William Barrett Travis sent out to

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: try to get help when he was at the Alamo

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: and he was besieged by a thousand or more Mexicans.

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: He sent it from James Butler Bonham was the messenger

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: of the Alamo, and he sent that out trying to

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: get reinforcements, and I just calls neglected. I'm determined to

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: sustain myself as long as possible and die like a

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: soldier who never forgets what is due to his own

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: honor and that of his country, victory or death. William

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: Barrett Travis. I've got a yellow rose poster on the

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: back of my door that was done by Olivia Bennett.

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: I just think it's a really cool rendition of the

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: yellow rows with the Texas flag colors and lone star

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: in it.

47
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: Texas is state flower.

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: Yes, well actually blue bonnets, but yes, yellow rows and

49
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: blue bonnets.

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: It's kind of like a tie for.

51
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: First look hopefully, but before you leave you'll see the

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: blue bonnets start to pop up. Because when they pop up,

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: it's it's on like they're everywhere, and it's beautiful.

54
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: It's so beautiful.

55
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: It's something to experience. I do have a flag, a

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: Texas flag that was flown over Iraq in twenty fifteen

57
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: because I did a big care package campaign and sent

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: care package to a lot of soldiers who were downrange

59
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: at the time. The really cool thing is the frame

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: that that's around my Tech Travis letter with the Republic

61
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: of Texas seal actually matched a Texas flag, original Texas

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: flag that our good friend Michael Cornell who we had

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: on Season one, who unfortunately we've lost, he actually had

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: this flag in his office and he saw mine and

65
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: he said, I have a flag Texas flag that matches that.

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: And so after he passed away, Gabby gave that to

67
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: me and said, I think Mike would want you to

68
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: have this, So it's a very very special flag to me.

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,559
Speaker 4: Yeah.

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: And then I've got a painting of my grandfather, which

71
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: is my why for why I do the things that

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I've done with the military and veterans and first responders,

73
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: just because of him. He was twenty four years old

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: when he was killed in a plane crash and doing

75
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: what he loved and serving in our United States Air Force.

76
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: He was a pilot and he died in a T

77
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: thirty three crash in Fairbanks, Alaska.

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: It's beautiful.

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I love my office. I've got a long horn above

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: my desk too, because you know, Texas forever hookhem horns.

81
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: All right, dear listeners, join me as I explore One

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: Tribe's brand new office building and get to know three

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: more people, Warren, Francisco, and Tiff.

84
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 6: And my name is Warren Ponder, and I pretty much

85
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: crunched the numbers.

86
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: Warren is a special human being because not only is

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: he a veteran and a PhD and all these things,

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: but when it comes to helping the human race, Warren

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: in second to anybody.

90
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: So take me through like an average day in the

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: office for you. What was Warren's day like today.

92
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 6: This morning, I got here and cleaned out some emails

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 6: and sent some with us. I sent some to people

94
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 6: that I write with. So the majority of what I

95
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 6: do is crunch the numbers, but then I also look

96
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 6: for things in there that can sort of be extracted

97
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 6: for like peer reviewed journal articles, you know, anything from

98
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 6: resilience to depression and suicide and anything in between.

99
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: What was behind the thought of having a resident PhD

100
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: on staff.

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Warren's job is vital to one tribe because we can

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: go and do and create all of these events throughout

103
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: the year, all of these gather that we do. But

104
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: until we track and make sure what we're doing is

105
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: actually working as a form of therapy, you know, we're

106
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: just wasting time and money. So what he does is

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: extremely important for us to be able to make sure

108
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: that the work that we're doing is to the level

109
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: of effectiveness that we need it to be.

110
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: And Warren's got the ability to get these white papers

111
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: or create these studies and put them into a context

112
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: that knuckle draggers like me can understand.

113
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, just your name and your

114
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: title here.

115
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 7: Francisco Romero, the Client Services manager, for One Tripe Foundation.

116
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: Can you break down why Francisco is so important at

117
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: one tribe?

118
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: His job is so vital because when we have someone

119
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: that comes in needing resources right now, he's the one

120
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: that jumps on it. He's in charge of it, and

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: he helps people find the resources that they need to

122
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: get the help that they need, and he does it

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: with grace and compassion in a timely manner.

124
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 7: Typically, what I do is in the morning, the first

125
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 7: thing I do is I want to make sure that

126
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 7: I'm checking my emails, regardless of what it might look like,

127
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 7: whether it's emails coming from our website, connecting with folks

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 7: who might be in crisis. But that's the first and

129
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 7: number one thing is checking in on all our people.

130
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: The reason that individuals like Francisco have to be able

131
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: to do that in that scenario is because not everybody

132
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: can mentally and emotionally go to deaf Con five. Somebody

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: has to be able to stay calm, cool and collected

134
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: while being able to implement compassion and empathy, or nothing's

135
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: gonna get done, nobody's gonna get helped. And Francisco is

136
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: the quintessential. I will stay calm, home and collected it

137
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: is very hard to ruffle my feathers. You're not gonna

138
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: find me shaken hardly.

139
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Ever.

140
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 4: My name is Tiffany Fox, and I am the program

141
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: manager for our Unmasked program here at one time.

142
00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: Tiffany is amazing. She has been through so much and

143
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: yet continues to fight so hard, not only for herself

144
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: and her family, but for the tribe and for those

145
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: that she serves. She's very intelligent and she's very forward thinking.

146
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: She's always trying to think of more, what more can

147
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: we do and what are some new ways we can

148
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: reach people and help people. She's very compassionate and she's

149
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: a fierce warrior princess.

150
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: So the unmass program encompasses a lot of things. The

151
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: main focus on it is suicide prevention, bringing awareness and

152
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: training to the community to be able to help prevent

153
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: more suicides.

154
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: Tiffany is definitely a go to in a traumatic situation

155
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: or crisis situation. She's one hundred percent one of the

156
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: go tos. If for some reason Francisco is not available

157
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: or vice versa, you know that, Okay, we'll get to

158
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: either one of these people. They've got it like she

159
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: will love you all the way and rip her fucking

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: face off all at the same time.

161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: But we also focus on on resilience. We do some

162
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: education classes. We have resilience classes like yoga, irs meditation,

163
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: We do soundbaths. Our peer support groups out of there

164
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: for our White Star Families, which is for those who

165
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: have lost the loved one to suicide. And then we

166
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: have our Tribal Council, which is our veterans Fresh responders.

167
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 4: That's our peer support group for them. Yeah, we do

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: a lot of things. Our QPR training, which is our

169
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: question persuade refer that is our suicide specific to our

170
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: suicide prevention training that we take to the community help

171
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: educate them better on that and how to ask the

172
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: question and how to get people to resources that they

173
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: may need in order to help them to be safe

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: and have some healing.

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: Again, with all these employees, like we're short changing every

176
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: single one of them.

177
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 6: Just for the record, glad you don't have a video

178
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 6: in the area because it's not the most organized.

179
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: There's a lot of piles of paper, but they seem

180
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: to be mostly paper cliped together. I see things are stable.

181
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: This is okay.

182
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: You should have seen it like before. I mean, this

183
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 6: is organized for me, but like the rest of the

184
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 6: world not so much.

185
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got some cans of Monster energy drinks, some vapes.

186
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: I see. You know, you have all your things you need.

187
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: I see a bunch of highlighters over here for me.

188
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 6: I get well, I guess I should have started with

189
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 6: the Monster you know. Get a cup of coffee, you

190
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 6: know that works out good? Much on some granola bars?

191
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oh wow, you have a whole you have

192
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: a whole snack system going up here. Yeah, this is

193
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: your zone. I love this well I do.

194
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 6: I have it that way, so when I get here

195
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 6: it's sort of all business. I can sit here at

196
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 6: the damn computer and write up you know what, you

197
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: know what I want? Yeah, right, And I don't have

198
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 6: to go to the damp. I know, it'd be like

199
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 6: five ten minutes to go eat, you know, in the

200
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 6: little common area over there. But I'm I really like

201
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 6: my job and it's a lot of fun, so I

202
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 6: don't even want to do that. I sort of just

203
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 6: want to stay camped here and doing that because it's

204
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: in my view it's really important to do this and

205
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 6: disseminate findings because other people might read it and be like, oh,

206
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, I didn't think about what you know,

207
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 6: this knucklehead one Tribe wrote, Yeah, you know, and you

208
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 6: know sort of really our number one issue is to

209
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 6: our number one goal is to stop going to funerals. Yeah,

210
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 6: and so su is uh some articles it's other than suicide.

211
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: But the overwhelming majority of what I do.

212
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 6: Is I try to figure out, you know, relationships between

213
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 6: like emotion, depression and suicide and things like that.

214
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: We need to take a quick commercial break here, but

215
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: stick around because this episode is just getting started. Here

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: we go, let's jump right back in. Here's Ashley and

217
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: Nick in her office.

218
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: You know.

219
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, sometimes we get the emails, like my son has

220
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: a classmate who walked in and found his twenty four

221
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: year old brother had committed suicide yesterday at the age

222
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: of twenty four. He was a Navy veteran struggling with

223
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: PTSD after serving tours in Gaza and unfortunately have been

224
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: let down by the system.

225
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: So you receive these email and so you sort of

226
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: are aware of them, and then you make sure Francisco's

227
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: on top of it. You guys communicate back and forth

228
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: about dealing with like this specific email that you just got,

229
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: for instance.

230
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: Every day, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and sometimes it's calls late

231
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: at night. Sometimes, you know, a lot of the panicles

232
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: set in late at night and that's when they call,

233
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: and that's when we, you know, try to do our

234
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: best to be on top of it. We don't have

235
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour hotline. There are resources set up

236
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 1: for individuals that are needing help immediately we need. All

237
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: of that information is on our website. But yeah, we

238
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: definitely are on top of it as often as we

239
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: can be to make sure that we're getting them help

240
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: and communicating back as quickly as possible.

241
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 7: I'm twenty four to seven as far as my phone goes,

242
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 7: so I'm keeping tabs on that making sure that if

243
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 7: I get any crisis calls, we're taking care of those

244
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 7: people right then and there. Today and we had a

245
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 7: veteran who reached out or a friend of his and

246
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 7: he's just struggling. He's going through quite a bit. He's single,

247
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 7: he's older, and he's just having a hard time wondering

248
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 7: if he should be around. So I connected with the gentleman.

249
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: I wanted to make sure I can reach out to

250
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 7: his friend because he's done everything he can to connect

251
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 7: his friend to One Track Foundation to connect him to

252
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 7: other things to just get him out of the house.

253
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 7: So that's one of the things I do is I

254
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 7: work a lot with people who are not sure where

255
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 7: could go to move forward, if they should help their friend,

256
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 7: if they should lay off, if they should call someone

257
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 7: to get more help for the friend. And this is

258
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 7: one of those cases where he was genuinely concerned for

259
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 7: his friend's safety as far as is he going to

260
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 7: be here tomorrow? So I kind of walk them through

261
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 7: the process as far as you know you're and encourage

262
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 7: them because he went through his struggle with his friend

263
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 7: and how much he's had to really encourage him to

264
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 7: stay alive, and he did great. It's tough when we

265
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 7: hear that situation because of course we want everyone to

266
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 7: be in a good place. That's just not the case

267
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 7: for a lot of people. So we want to make

268
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 7: sure the people that are keeping up with their friends

269
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 7: and keeping tabs and that they get the incurage they need,

270
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 7: because sometimes that's a daunting task to wonder, is my

271
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 7: friend going to beer tomorrow? Yeah, he's going to invite

272
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 7: him out to the right that we're going that's going

273
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 7: on Saturday. So his friend also rides motorcycle. So he's

274
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 7: very interested in And that's one of the things is

275
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 7: if we could keep someone alive for one more day

276
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 7: and just say, hey, remember Saturday, something's coming up. That's

277
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 7: a few more days you just bought for that individual

278
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 7: to stay alive. So it's great on him for us

279
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 7: keeping tabs with this wren and making sure that he's good.

280
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 6: I joined the Army in four and I signed up

281
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 6: as infantry. So everything in the Army has sort of

282
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 6: like a fanatic code with it.

283
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: So you sign up and it's eleven x ray.

284
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 6: But then they can sort of, you know, place you

285
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 6: as a regular infantry guy or indirect I can add numbers.

286
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 6: So they assigned me to be a mortar. So I

287
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 6: completed basic training at Fort Benning and after that I

288
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 6: went to Fort Lewis near Seattle, and I was there

289
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 6: probably a year and a half before we deployed to Iraq.

290
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 6: We were there for fifteen months. Then we came back.

291
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 6: I got out and I sort of I could see

292
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 6: that some people who didn't have a plan they were struggling.

293
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 6: So I left the Army in December of seven and

294
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 6: I started grad school the next month. Because I didn't

295
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 6: want any you know, chunks of time, because you know

296
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 6: that's when you know a lot of the problems arose

297
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 6: for people that sort of got out before I did.

298
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 6: So I got a master's in a PhD and social

299
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 6: work from the University of Texas at Arlington, and what

300
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 6: I did for the thesis was look at how PTSD

301
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 6: effects relationship satisfaction. I looked at how couples communicate, you know,

302
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 6: whether it be like emails, phone or text or whatever,

303
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 6: how they communicate during a combat deployment, and then how

304
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 6: that affects them when they returned stateside.

305
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: Wow, can you give us the nutshell of your findings?

306
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: Sure.

307
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 6: The veterans they like to sort of deactivate and be

308
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: left alone, so it's sort of like emotional distancing, whereas

309
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 6: the state side significant other they preferred. It's called attachment anxiety,

310
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 6: and it's basically sort of things get amplified. So that's

311
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 6: how they processed emotions during the deployment.

312
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: But what was.

313
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 6: Interesting was when they got back stateside, it wasn't the

314
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 6: most healthy. It worked and it was adaptive for the deployment,

315
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: but when they came back, it's sort of created interpersonal

316
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 6: emotional patterns that could be sometimes hard to overcome.

317
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: And how long have you worked at one tribe?

318
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 4: I have been here for four years.

319
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: And what does it mean to you to work here?

320
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: For me personally, it's it's very it's very personal.

321
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: For me.

322
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: When I came to work here four years ago, I

323
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 4: was married to my husband who is a combat Army veteran,

324
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: and three years ago in May, he actually took his

325
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: own life to suiticide. So for me it was very

326
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: life changing for my family, being that when I first

327
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: came here, it was very difficult in our marriage and

328
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: in our family with him being very closed off and

329
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 4: not wanting to talk and not communicate about the things

330
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: that he had been through and gone through and was

331
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: currently going through. And just through some training from onboarding

332
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: to coming to work here. It taught me as a

333
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: spouse how to be able to talk to him, what

334
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 4: to say, what not to say, how to listen, and

335
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: things like that, And so our communication as a married

336
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: couple became better than it had ever been in our

337
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: entire marriage, especially since he had gone to combat. He

338
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 4: started opening up talking about things, hearing stories that I

339
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: had never heard before, some of the things he went

340
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 4: through and experienced and had to do and see and

341
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: all those things. So in that aspect it helped us

342
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: tremendously now that he's not here anymore. They've been a

343
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: very big support for our family. We really are a

344
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: family here. The amount of support that they've been there

345
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: for me and my own kids has been just I

346
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 4: can't say enough about it. It's just been out of

347
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: this world and outstanding. So for me, it's just been

348
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 4: it's a very big place. They hold a very big

349
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 4: place in my heart, as organization does everybody on staff,

350
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: Jake and Ashley and now it's a personal mission more

351
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 4: than anything. Just not want to just don't want to

352
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: see anybody else die, you know. I don't want to

353
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: see my else die by suicide. I don't want to

354
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 4: have to go to any more funerals, you know. And

355
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 4: you're a bottom all the time, and it just gets

356
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: more and more and more and more prevalent. And just

357
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 4: bringing that awareness to people and letting them know that

358
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: it's okay to not be okay, that there are people

359
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 4: that understand and that are willing to listen and that

360
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: are willing to be there for them. So it means

361
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 4: a lot to me. It's part of my life, my

362
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: everyday life.

363
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: Now, we're going to take a quick breather. We'll be

364
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: back in a few moments. Welcome back to the good

365
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: stuff here. I am with Francisco. I feel like it

366
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 3: would probably be pretty easy for people to think that

367
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: an office space like this would be really heavy and

368
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: sort of I don't know, sad even you know, that's

369
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: not my sense of the vibes here. How would you

370
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 3: just tribe showing up to work, like, what is the

371
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: energy here in this building?

372
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 7: Sure?

373
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 4: They so.

374
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 7: A lot of people say if you love what you do,

375
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 7: you'll never work a day in your life. Yeah, And

376
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 7: that's how I feel coming to One Tribe Foundation every

377
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 7: single day. I don't see it as a job. I

378
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 7: see it as this is what I'm called to do.

379
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 7: It's what I'm supposed to be doing. Can it be heavy? Absolutely?

380
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 7: There are days that I had to leave work because

381
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 7: it was I talked to perhaps a child or a

382
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 7: mom and their child regarding finding their dad had died

383
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 7: by suicide in their house. It's tough to talk about

384
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 7: those situations at the time when when you're actually interacting

385
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 7: with the client. But then once that passes, you've done

386
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 7: your self care and you've come back to a solid place.

387
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 7: The rewards of seeing that family, the daughter and the

388
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 7: mom come back to one tribe and get their therapy

389
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 7: or their counseling, to participate in our programs. That's where

390
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 7: the rewards sit in as we made a difference in

391
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 7: their life. It was tragic, but again we're able to

392
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 7: give back and give them some solace, give them some

393
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 7: hope for the future, and let them know that things

394
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 7: are going to look better.

395
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: We're in a new office space with one tribe. How's

396
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: this new office treating you?

397
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 4: It's fantastic. Yeah, I love the office space. The commutes

398
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 4: a little long for me, but that's okay. I'm the

399
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: I'm the one person who lives out in the sticks.

400
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the big track to the big city every day.

401
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: Yes.

402
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you have a favorite space in the office

403
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: that you like to go to?

404
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I would have to say probably the reception

405
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 4: area where that giant couches. That's like it's like a

406
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 4: bed like itself. You just lay down and it's like

407
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: it's so comfortable. Yeah, you know, really, I think any

408
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: place in the office is a good space where there's

409
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 4: more than one of us that we can sit and

410
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: just talk and we just we do that a lot here. Yeah,

411
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: just checking in with one another and being each other

412
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: therap so to speak. The space has been really good,

413
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 4: a lot more homey and just we have a lot

414
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: of opportunity to bring more and more people in the doors.

415
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: It's my favorite time is when we do have people

416
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: come by and stop, buy and visit and we get

417
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 4: to talk to those that come in the office.

418
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you had an experience recently with someone coming

419
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: in that you really connected with?

420
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: For me, that's weekly. It's because I lead the peer

421
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: support groups on Tuesday Wednesday nights, and so every time

422
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: we get together, it's always just a special time. It's

423
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: always different. But the amount of support and the closeness

424
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: in those groups is just it's off the charts. It's

425
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 4: like nothing I've ever experienced before. Because even though I'm

426
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: moderate the group or whatever, I get as much out

427
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: of it as they do every single time.

428
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 3: Why is it such a powerful meeting? Why are these

429
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: ones so good?

430
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: Just the amount of vulnerability that goes into it. You've

431
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 4: got grown men in there that are first responders currently,

432
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 4: that are also veterans that they just come in there

433
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 4: and they just are vulnerable. Everything is laid out on

434
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: the table. There is nothing that has off limits to

435
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 4: talk about. There's no set agenda, so to speak. So

436
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: it's not like going to a typical like therapy session

437
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 4: where your counselors asking you, you know, so how would

438
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 4: your week and you know, well, how does that make

439
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 4: you feel? You know, stuff like that, which is a

440
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 4: very necessary thing. I think therapy is very beneficial, But

441
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 4: this in particular is just so open form that it

442
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 4: doesn't it doesn't matter. Sometimes we talk about funny things

443
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 4: that happens to us during the week. A lots to

444
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: talk about, you know, family, kids, grandkids, stuff like that,

445
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: and sometimes it's you know, somebody is having a really

446
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 4: hard week and you know, the floor is open. There

447
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: could be thirty people in the group and the floor

448
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 4: is open for that one person for that hour and

449
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: a half. So it's just very just just the vulnerability,

450
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 4: it's just it's off the charts.

451
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: What advice would you give anyone who might want to

452
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: follow in your line of work and also feel a

453
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: calling to this level of service.

454
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 7: So it is tough, it's not for the week.

455
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 6: Get heart.

456
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 3: It is a.

457
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 7: Service and it is as I mentioned, it can be heavy,

458
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 7: but in the end, the rewards far outweigh the heaviness

459
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 7: that come along with it. My advice is, if you

460
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 7: are right, if you're jumping into a line of work

461
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 7: where you're going to be dealing with people who are

462
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 7: in crisis or dealing with suicidal ideation, is to have

463
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 7: a solid plan for yourself as far as mental health goes,

464
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 7: making sure that you're doing self care, so regardless of

465
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 7: what that looks like yoga, whether it's hiking, working out, swimming,

466
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 7: whatever the case is, have a solid plan because the

467
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 7: days that are heavy are very heavy, and if you

468
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 7: don't have that place that you can go to where

469
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 7: you feel that calm, where you feel that piece where

470
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 7: you can take care of yourself, it can cause some

471
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 7: future heaviness with yourself, whether it's depression or whatever the

472
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 7: case is. Having a plan for yourself is always good

473
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 7: and then relying on your support system. All the people

474
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 7: here at One Tripe Foundation we call ourself family because

475
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 7: we use each other. And days that are heavy for me,

476
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 7: I could I know, I could go right next door

477
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 7: to my office mat and talk to them and they'll

478
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 7: pull me out of a slumper though. They'll help me

479
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 7: make my day better. So it's having a plan for

480
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 7: yourself and making sure that you're practicing self care.

481
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 3: I know you got to get out of here and

482
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: go pick up your kids, you said, And as what

483
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: does the rest of the day look like for you?

484
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 6: Hang out with them, enjoy it and then head home

485
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 6: and always drawn some more numbers.

486
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: Thanks so much, Marin.

487
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: Yep.

488
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: So I never got to ask you because of you know,

489
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: all the things, doing all the things. But what was

490
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: your take on the office because you got to see

491
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: it the first time yesterday?

492
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: Man, well, A, it's beautiful. You guys obviously put a

493
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: ton of care into it. B it's functional. I was like, oh,

494
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: this room is clearly a perfect playroom for the kids.

495
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 3: This is like the arts and craft space. This is

496
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: like a like every space feels very purposeful, and an

497
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 3: additional level of functionality to that is like if I

498
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: were gonna feel like I was in a moment of

499
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: crisis and I needed to talk to someone, those were

500
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 3: offices that I felt like I could walk into and

501
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 3: close the door and also have privacy. So there's this

502
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: big community aspect to it, for sure. But you guys

503
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 3: have built in spaces specifically like the Carneal's cove, which

504
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: is like this is, you know, to use an over

505
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: used phrase, a safe space, like you're going to be

506
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 3: good here. This is going to be between you and

507
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 3: whoever you feel like you need to be heard by

508
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 3: in the moment. So that was really really powerful and

509
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: also just it's really fun to see the level in

510
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: which different people customize their offices. You know, everyone's there

511
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: was a lot of like peaceful chanting music or like

512
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: essential oils, Like everyone's like this is a calm space.

513
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, you guys like whatever industry like sells

514
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: how to be common your office goods. You guys are

515
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 3: keeping in business. Like there's so much like smells and

516
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 3: like twirly things that are mesmerizing and peaceful.

517
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 5: It's things I remember talking to you on the phone

518
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 5: one time and I was like, are you at the

519
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 5: beach and you like had your like wave machine going

520
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 5: or something in the background, or chanting or chimes or

521
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 5: something like.

522
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: It's just this amazing effort and care about offering some

523
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: tranquility in what is very very obviously a world in

524
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: which the opposite of tranquility drives people to some really

525
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 3: scary despair. And you guys are just like well, this

526
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 3: is the opposite of that world and we meet it

527
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: head on. But like also, like here's some essential oils

528
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 3: to come down a little bit.

529
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: You know, well there's all types of science that goes

530
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: into that too. Like, we didn't do it just because

531
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: we read a good review on the No.

532
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: I absolutely see you guys as the kind of people

533
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: that would throw away a piece of garbage that you

534
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: didn't like.

535
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Warren's office is one of the offices. It gives

536
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: me anxiety.

537
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: We got to order some more essential oils. I just

538
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: went Warren's office.

539
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 1: It was.

540
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 2: That's the thing is that because of the work we do,

541
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: we don't want it feeling like a clinic.

542
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

543
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,280

544
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: you know, we just want it to be this warm, inviting, calming.

545
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: I feel good here. Yeah, it absolutely is that as

546
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,120
