If I really had them in front 994 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 2: of me, I wouldn't be looking for them right now. 995 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:42,760 Speaker 1: Okay. 996 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 2: Therapy Gecko mail at gmail dot com.

Subject line. I'm dropping 1003 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 2: out of law school to work at REI. Hey gek, 1004 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 2: I don't care about remaining anonymous. My name is Sianna 1005 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 2: and I am a twenty two year old soon to 1006 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 2: be ex law student. After performing really really well in 1007 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 2: my first year and a half of law school, I 1008 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 2: am dropping out to work at RII and probably do 1009 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,399 Speaker 2: some other weird stuff that makes me happy. I grew 1010 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 2: up poor, and I think I convinced myself that nobody 1011 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 2: likes their job, so I might as well do something 1012 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 2: that I'm good at and pays well. I went to 1013 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 2: law school mostly because I knew I could do it. 1014 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 2: I did not grow up around any lawyers, and I 1015 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 2: had no idea what the profession looked like. I know 1016 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 2: it isn't entirely fair to generalize an entire profession, but man, 1017 00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 2: these people are miserable. I hated law school, I hated 1018 00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,280 Speaker 2: legal work, and when I ended up hating a clinic, 1019 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 2: I thought I would really enjoy working in I decided 1020 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 2: that I can't sunk cost fallacy myself into an insanely 1021 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 2: expensive degree that I despise just because I might make 1022 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 2: a lot of money. Recently, I have met a lot 1023 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 2: of people who really love what they do, and I 1024 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 2: want to live my life more like them. I am 1025 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 2: living in an entirely different area for the first time, 1026 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 2: and while ARII is not a solid way to grow 1027 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 2: a career, it sounds fun and I am so so 1028 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 2: burnt out. Life is too short to do something that 1029 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 2: I hate, and I know I can find a way 1030 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 2: to make this work. There's a lot more to the story, 1031 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 2: but I mostly wanted to tell you this anyway. I 1032 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 2: love the podcast. I've been listening to it for years, 1033 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 2: and I appreciate your Gecko wisdom. I appreciate your fucking 1034 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 2: Siana wisdom. Dude, Kudos kudos. That takes a lot of 1035 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 2: courage to do what you do, to do what you did, 1036 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 2: to do what you did what you do. It takes 1037 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 2: all my courage to do what you did, Sianna. 1038 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: Bro. 1039 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's capitalism or what it is, 1040 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 2: but like you, I think in society we are not 1041 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 2: encouraged enough to like take a step back and be like, wait, 1042 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 2: why am I actually doing any of the things that 1043 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 2: I'm doing. It's an important thing. You only get one life, 1044 00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,439 Speaker 2: you know, you might as well you might as well 1045 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 2: try if you have the ability to you might as 1046 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 2: well try to do things that you uh, that you like. 1047 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 2: And it's cool, especially because, yeah, I guess you can. 1048 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 2: You kind of conditioned yourself into believing, like, well, why 1049 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 2: the fuck should I like what I do? You know, 1050 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 2: I was talking about this a little bit on the 1051 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 2: previous episode, like, like, I like, I've convinced i've you can. 1052 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 2: You can kind of condition yourself to be like, well, well, 1053 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 2: why the fuck am I supposed to be happy? Why 1054 00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 2: the fuck am I supposed to like my job?

To enjoy my existence 1058 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 2: on this planet? And you know, I think it's a 1059 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 2: stupid way to live. So I'm glad that you're living 1060 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,520 Speaker 2: in the opposite and doing what makes you happy. It's cool. Sienna, 1061 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 2: I have a Sienna. 1062 00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 1: This is. 1063 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 2: This is from Eric.

I just became a dad 1072 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 2: five months ago, and it's made me the happiest I've 1073 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 2: ever been. It's wild. I've tried to call a few 1074 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 2: times with no luck, but I'd really like to talk 1075 01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 2: to you about dealing with substance issues, going to the gym, parenthood, 1076 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 2: or anything.

My name is Millie and 1122 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 2: I'm from Adelaide, Australia. I was at your show when 1123 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 2: you were here years ago. I was sitting in the 1124 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 2: front row. Hell yeah, yeah, that was a fun time. 1125 01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 2: I've always wanted to call in, but I'm worried about 1126 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 2: how much an international call like that would cost. I 1127 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,320 Speaker 2: have recently found myself single, and it has been a journey, 1128 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 2: but a journey I am grateful to be on. I 1129 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 2: have reconnected with some people from my past and I 1130 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 2: have made closer friendships and will be going on my 1131 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 2: first international trip soon that does not involve a parental figure. 1132 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 2: My friends and I are going to Korea in September 1133 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 2: to see the Bouldering World Champs, specifically the women's They 1134 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 2: are all so hot and sexy and strong, and it 1135 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 2: is such a gay awakening. I have cried several times 1136 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 2: from anxiety around this trip. Why anxiety. I get very 1137 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 2: bad plain anxiety, and I have never been to a 1138 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 2: country where English is the first language. My friend that 1139 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 2: I'm going with is super excited and is super confident, 1140 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 2: and we've had conversations about how I might not do 1141 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 2: so well and he has been super supportive, which is 1142 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,000 Speaker 2: just so sweet. I've recently come across a quote that 1143 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 2: has been helping me a bit. We don't follow the mood, 1144 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 2: we follow the plan. I don't know if I agree 1145 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 2: with that. I feel like we naturally, I don't know. 1146 01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 2: I feel like I make plans. I feel like I'm 1147 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 2: half and half. I'll follow half of a plan, but 1148 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:32,440 Speaker 2: then once my mood interrupts the plan, that plan is fucked. 1149 01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,280 Speaker 2: Sometimes I really struggle with my emotions and they can 1150 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 2: usually get the better of me. And because of that 1151 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 2: I end up not doing things that I really should 1152 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 2: be doing. But I have plans now that I want 1153 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,480 Speaker 2: to achieve, and I think the quote is a good 1154 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 2: matra get bless. That's the email. Sorry, I'm sorry to 1155 01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 2: mean to fuck up your quote, but I don't agree 1156 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 2: with it at all. I think, I think if you 1157 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 2: have a different interpretation, I don't agree with what I 1158 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 2: interpret the quote to be. I think if you have 1159 01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 2: a different interpretation and it's a helpful to you, then 1160 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 2: don't let me suck that up. But let me tell 1161 01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 2: you something about planes, Millie. Let me tell you something 1162 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 2: about planes. Cars are so much more dangerous than planes. 1163 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 2: You are, weirdly enough, extremely safe in an airplane, even 1164 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 2: the turbulence, even if it's like shaken violently in your 1165 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 2: banging your head against the fucking roof of it, you're 1166 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 2: safer than in a car. So you find I think, 1167 01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 2: there's let's google this. How many how many? How many 1168 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:44,480 Speaker 2: commercial airline crashes have there been? How an airline crashes 1169 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 2: have there been in Australia in the last ten years. 1170 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:58,240 Speaker 2: They're pretty good about it. There have been no fatalities 1171 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 2: in scheduled commercial air transport in Australia since two thousand 1172 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 2: and five, So that means nobody has died in a 1173 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 2: commercial airplane travel in twenty one years. So it's not 1174 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,280 Speaker 2: gonna be you. You might die in the in the 1175 01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 2: car ride over there, but I don't think you're not 1176 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 2: gonna die on the plane, so you'll be all right. 1177 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,200 Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna die on the cab right 1178 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,840 Speaker 2: up there either. I think you're gonna be fine. What 1179 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 2: I actually think is gonna happen is you're gonna go 1180 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 2: on a beautiful trip. You're gonna see beautiful climbing ladies 1181 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 2: and you can have a fun time. Also, yeah, go 1182 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,440 Speaker 2: into countries where they where English isn't the first language. 1183 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 2: It can be a little bit intimidating. But once you're 1184 01:06:55,360 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 2: like that, once you're there, everything's gonna be okay. Yeah, 1185 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 2: once you're there, I mean things can be They'll be 1186 01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 2: excited to talk to you. They'll be like, you know, 1187 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:15,000 Speaker 2: you're Australian. Koreans. I think Koreans like Australians. I'm basing 1188 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 2: that off of no information. Do those countries have a history. 1189 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna google that too. What's the history between Australia 1190 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:34,160 Speaker 2: and Korea. Oh, okay. Australia had a strong military involvement 1191 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 2: in the Korean War. Following the war, Australia helped with 1192 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 2: UN efforts to reunite Korea, and it became a strong 1193 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 2: ally to South Korea and established diplomatic relations in nineteen 1194 01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:57,160 Speaker 2: sixty two. The relationship has grown significantly into a strategic 1195 01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:03,920 Speaker 2: partnership with robust security and people to people ties.
