She's very involved in 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: veteran veteran issues and has a startup in the tech 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: space a nutraceutical for kids. So we have a lot 7 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: of ground to cover here. Catalina, first time on the 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: well the newly relaunched Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for coming 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: to hang out. Honored to be here, Thanks for having 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: me on Buck. All right, running for Congress? The good, 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: the bad, the ugly? What'd you learn? What do people 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: need to know? How was the whole thing? And where 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: do I start? I'll first say this that clearly the 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: outcome for I think all across the board I was 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: really shocking for most people. I think we did make 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: some important games, but there were a lot of concerns 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: in some very winnable districts as to why we didn't win. 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: And I think in order for us to really move forward, 19 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: I think we need to take like a post mortem 20 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: of what happened in twenty twenty two and kind of 21 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: re evaluate what our party, our values what we want 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: to be moving forward if we ever want to win 23 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: in really winnable seats again. You know, I was in 24 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: a purple district, A lot of my candidate friends were 25 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: in purple districts, some in red leaning states, and it 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: just doesn't really add up. And so I think, you know, 27 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: we all kind of need to reevaluate what's going on 28 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: that's so much deeper than just you know, what the 29 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: media wants, the sound bites or the social issues. I 30 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: think there's a much greater organizational problem within the Republican 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: Party that needs to be solved. And I'm actually, you know, 32 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: super disappointed at Illinois as a whole. The Wall Street 33 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Journal wrote in a piece saying that democracy died in 34 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: Illinois and they don't want it to happen within the 35 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: rest of the country in terms of the tactics that 36 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: they used to win in Illinois with the Democrats used 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: and so unfortunately, I don't see the state turning read 38 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: or even purple anytime soon. And we have to kind 39 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: of look deeper into what's going on in our elections. 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: So you got to tell us, then, give us some 41 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: specifics what does that mean? And when they say DEMOCTI 42 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: died in Illinois. How what are they? What's the other 43 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: side doing? How are they playing dirty? What are they? 44 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: What are they up to? Well, first of all, I 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: think in Illinois and Chicago as a whole, you know, 46 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: vote early, vote often, and the Windy City are just 47 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: like terms that you learn when you're born here in Illinois. 48 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: So there's always some sort of kind of trickery always 49 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: happening from the left. But my concern is more broader 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: than that. I think they Governor Pritzker put in multi 51 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: millions of dollars into a very organized, well thought out 52 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: mail and ballot program, and so I've heard from multiple 53 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, families and supporters and residents, like people were 54 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: getting ballots of people who had you know, were deceased 55 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: or people who had lived there in the past, and 56 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: just the organizational efforts on top of that to collect 57 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: the ballots. On the Democrat side, whether there was fraud 58 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: involved is just on a completely different level that Republicans 59 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: just could never compete with. And so we need to 60 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: focus on changing, you know, if we can't change the culture. 61 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: A lot of every time I speak to most Republicans 62 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: and I'm this way too, they want to vote in person. 63 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: They don't want to go and just give somebody their 64 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: ballot or do things that way. But unfortunately, like the 65 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: Democrats are so heavily organized. You know, when you have 66 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: thirty thousand mail in ballots dumping at ten pm, calling 67 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: every single race and all of them for Democrats, you 68 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: have to start asking questions and then not only that, 69 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: start wondering how you can even compete with something like that. 70 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: So if somebody came up to you and they said 71 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: they were young Conservative, and they said that they were 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: thinking about getting involved in running, so you know, you're 73 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: about what you're a millennial, so you're uncertainly the younger 74 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: end of running for Congress. But would you encourage other 75 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: people who are interested in doing it or do you 76 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: feel like it's more important to be a grassroots organizer 77 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: right now at that level to help change the system 78 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: instead of trying to necessarily be the candidate yourself. I'm 79 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: just wondering what your lessons learned are. Yeah, that's a 80 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: great question. I think there is value in both, and 81 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: I think two different. I think it requires a similar personality, right, 82 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: I think a grassroots organizer and a candidate, you know, 83 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: politician have very similar personality types. You know, you have 84 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: to be extroverted. You have to be almost like a salesperson, right, 85 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: you want to get people to register to vote, or 86 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: if you're the politician, gain votes, and you're selling yourself 87 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: and your platform and why you're the best person to 88 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: go be the representative, right. And I think in the 89 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: grassroots movement, like we certainly need more people who want 90 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: to get involved. But I will tell you it's incredibly 91 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: difficult to be a candidate. It's very isolating. It's you know, 92 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: you're in higher life is flipped upside down. You have 93 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: a very and I'm not trying to just kind of 94 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: talk about the negatives here, it's just it does. There 95 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: is a huge sacrifice on a personal front, but also 96 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: it takes a ton of work. And if you love 97 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: it and you love your people and you know what 98 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: you stand for and you want to be a voice, 99 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: you have to have the fire in the belly to 100 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: be able to grapple with the realities, the constant pressure, 101 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: the you're never going to please everybody, and the way 102 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: the media is to Republican candidates is horrific. The way 103 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: that they are to your family is horrific. But you 104 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: have to love what you do, and you have to 105 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: love your people and you're what you stand for to 106 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: be able to stomach the entire process during an election. Wait, 107 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: what are the what are the communist aligned media in 108 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: this country also known as Democrats? What do they do 109 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: to your family? How did that come into ploy? Well, 110 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: there were a few like undercover journalists that were always 111 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: trying to like meet with my family or get trying 112 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: to get information or you know, they just look, they 113 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: just make up things like whatever. I and I actually 114 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: honestly like we're luckily, we have a pretty good like 115 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: my mom especially, has been in the community for a 116 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: long time, and so everybody knows who we are. People 117 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: know like my family's character. But journalists will say whatever 118 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: they want. They will make up whatever they want, especially 119 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: on the political side, you know they will. For example, 120 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: moms were really concerned about the furry problem in high schools, 121 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: like it was a thing. These kids were dressing up 122 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: as furies and they still do this, they like dress 123 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: up as animals and whatever. And I went to a 124 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: school board meeting and I was hearing this going on, 125 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: and I made a comment about it, like this is ridiculous. 126 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: We have tampons and little boys bathrooms because of JB. 127 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: Pritzker made a statewide law requiring tampons and little boys 128 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: bathrooms because of the He's trying to push the transgender 129 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: transgender stuff so much so all these weird things were 130 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: happening in schools, and you say one thing and then 131 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: it's like all the journalists take one thing out of context, 132 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: try to make you sound like a crazy, you know 133 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: person in that year. This is the Republican, the right 134 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: wing conspiracy theorists, when all the stuff is actually going 135 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: on in our schools and then that's what the majority 136 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: of the voters read. And just things like that. You know, 137 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of money spent against us meet my 138 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: campaign on different issues, and which is fine, that's politics. 139 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: But it's sad that it's they can get away with 140 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: lying so much the other side and they're never held accountable. 141 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: I have to ask um Furies, what do you mean? 142 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: There are kids who are dressing up in animal costumes 143 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: and going to school and the school allows this. The 144 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: schools allow it, and the teachers are so fraid to 145 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: say anything because the woke parents threatened to sue them. Wait, 146 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: wait on on what bait on anti furree discrimination. Is 147 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: this a thing? Yeah, basically because you're not like, you're 148 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: not honoring whatever identity that kid wants to be in 149 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: school that day. And for just to put it further, 150 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: it all comes down to again the transgender stuff in 151 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Illinois public schools. If a child wants to be say 152 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: he's biologically Jimmy and he wants to be Jane at school, 153 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: by Illinois state law, the teacher does not need to 154 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: notify the parent that the child is going by a 155 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: different pronoun or go by a different gender at school 156 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: as a state law. It's just mind blowing. Yeah, Illinois, 157 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate you have. Most of the extreme craziness in 158 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: America is along the coasts. Illinois is the exception. Illinois 159 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: obviously is the blue stronghold in the middle of it all. 160 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: But come back in a second Catlinic because a word 161 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: from our sponsor here, a lot of people don't even 162 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: realize how common it is for sensitive personal information to 163 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: get hacked and then shared on the dark web and 164 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: then used by cyber thieves. This happens all the time. 165 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: It's one of the fastest growing crimes out there. And 166 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: if you don't have LifeLock catching your back. You probably 167 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: won't even know about it, but LifeLock has online identity 168 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: theft protection that includes monitoring the web twenty four to 169 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: seven for regular activities and new account openings.

I feel like I'm 188 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary and this is shark tank. So maybe now 189 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: I have to ask some snarky questions like what do 190 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: I get out of this, and like where's your profit margin? 191 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: And all this kind of stuff. Tell them, tell me 192 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: about the tech startup, how you got into this. I 193 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: think that's so interesting. Thank you. So we're venture backed 194 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: startup in the k neutraceutical space and we are really 195 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: disrupting big pharma when it comes to kids gut health. 196 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: So gut health and the research and the studies behind 197 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: it has really significantly come to light and grown over 198 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: the last basically ten years, and it's basically the second brain. 199 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: And unfortunately a lot of these kids, whether they're picky 200 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: eaters or they're on antibiotics and even an adults, have 201 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: just terrible gut microbiome and everything involved in that process, 202 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to process foods and you know, 203 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: GMOs and just things like that have destroyed the gut entirely. 204 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: So we have a product that helps rebuild the gut 205 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: and we help kids poop is like our tagline, but 206 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,239 Speaker 1: also helping you know, people with things like IBS, contespation, 207 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of just health issues that come with 208 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: and having a unhealthy gut. So you don't know this 209 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: about me, but I find this area to be both 210 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: fascinating and essential and also very poorly understood because I 211 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: have Celiac disease. So I'm somebody who has an autoimmune 212 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: an autoimmune disorder that treats gluten as though it is 213 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: some kind of need for an immune response like an 214 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: invading pathogen, and it's if you etclude, if you keep 215 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: eating gluten, it's very very debilitating. And actually for small children, 216 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: they can if it's undiagnosed, they can die from it 217 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: because they can't absorb any nutrients after a long enough 218 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: period of damage is done. And I going to tell 219 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: you from learning that I had Celiac disease and going 220 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: through the whole process of understanding what it was, and 221 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: also the many months of being put on all kinds 222 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: of antibiotics and the things. Most doctors know almost nothing 223 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: about nutrition, and even the doctors just a fancy way 224 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: of saying the food that we're eating. Doctors are like Yeah, 225 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, don't eat too much butter or red meat 226 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: because of heart disease, like that's basically the or you know, 227 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: don't eat too many calories because you'll be fat. I mean, 228 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: that's really what you might get from your average GP. 229 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: I know, there's some who know a whole lot about it, 230 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: but a lot of them don't know very much at all. 231 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: And the knowledge though about things like IBS, the knowledge 232 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: about these chronic conditions that affect millions, maybe tens of 233 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: millions of Americans is pretty pathetic. Actually, modern medicine is 234 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: not good on these issues. And a lot of the 235 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: stuff that they give you to deal with these things 236 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: at besque treat and mask symptoms of these chronic conditions 237 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: that are all inflammations of the whether it's you know, 238 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: krones inflammatory balel disease, IBS. They don't they certainly don't 239 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: have cures for these things, and a lot of the 240 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: time they don't have a whole lot to tell you. 241 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: And an understanding of the microbiome that is your stomach 242 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: and you're more to the point your intestines is absolutely essential. 243 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: It absolutely is. And you know, there are so many 244 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: studies that show having a gut microbiome off or all 245 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: of the things that we're eating again, processed food, seed oil, 246 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: things like that are just destroying it and can lead 247 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: to diseases down the line or autoimmune issues and things 248 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: like that. And you're exactly right. But when it comes 249 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: to just what doctors and the research behind it, it's 250 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: all backed by money. I mean, it's so easy for 251 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: them to just prescribe something. I understand there are cases 252 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: where you absolutely need something and there's a reason for 253 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: modern medicine, but in a lot of cases, a lot 254 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: of these things can be solved if you look at 255 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: it through a holistic way. And it all comes down 256 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: to personal responsibility too and research. You know, we have 257 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: parents who it's just sometimes easy for them to just 258 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: give their kids something like me relax or something, and 259 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: then with pro long use, these kids are reliant on 260 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: something that they shouldn't be reliant on. It's not a 261 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: proof for the FDA, and that's that you're the little 262 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: They don't have a choice, right, it's the parents choice. 263 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: And so we're really trying to disrupt the industry for children, 264 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: especially to get them where it begins and at such 265 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: a young age so that you know, long term they 266 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: can be healthier, and but you're exactly right. You know, 267 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: doctors sometimes don't know they don't want to prescribe these things. 268 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: There are others who really do believe in more neutraceuticals. 269 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: In our product works. I mean, we have a ton 270 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: of clients and reviews and things that you know, it's 271 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: something that does work, but unfortunately it takes personal responsibility, 272 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: research and just a wanting to explore some other options. 273 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: Can you tell us anything about what is the product 274 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: or these like gut health gummies or something. What are 275 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: you making? Yeah, so it's actually as it's in a sachet. 276 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: It's a powder that you can put in your drink, 277 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, I put it my coffee, kids can put 278 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: it in juice, water, you know, yogurt, whatever, and tasteless, 279 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: but it has We formulated it with scientists and researchers 280 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: and created this formula for our product, and it actually 281 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: has a HMO that mirrors breast milk. And we originally 282 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: wanted to get into the baby formula industry because we 283 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: had seen just so many harsh ingredients corn syrup, you know, 284 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: you name it for babies in the baby formula category, 285 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: and unfortunately we found that it was just incredibly difficult 286 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: to get past the FDA. You know it was it 287 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: had basically monopoly with three conglomerate companies, And then of 288 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: course we all saw that the country, the world saw 289 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: what happens when you have three major companies owning ninety 290 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: percent of a marketplace and then a shortage happens and 291 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: babies can't get their formula. And so we really struggled 292 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: with getting into that industry. And I've seen, especially from 293 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: a political and private sector standpoint, just how horrible the 294 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: overregulation and just I understand again, this is a category 295 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: that and you want to be safe. It's kids, it's 296 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: something that you're ingesting. But the amount of money and 297 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: the lobbyists and just everything involved when it comes to 298 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: FDA regulations is through the roof, and it's so detrimental 299 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: to small to medium sized businesses or startups that want 300 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: to make this industry better and more innovative. But it's 301 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: being completely hijacked by the major corporations that dominate the 302 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: entire market share. So it was an incredible learning just 303 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: being on the business side, but then also understanding just 304 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: the relationship in politics and how Republicans just really value 305 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: entrepreneurship and innovation and how we can make things better 306 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: and how Democrats just want bigger government, they want big businesses, 307 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: they want big pharma to dominate us, and ultimately, you know, 308 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: kind of threw over the little guy. Are you going 309 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: to try to go on Shark Tank with this? I 310 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: have to ask since I started out thinking about it, 311 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: you know, in full disclosure, we were asked to be 312 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: on it, and you are not allowed to be a 313 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: political candidate and also be on Shark Tank, So it 314 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: was we couldn't do. It's a great show. We love it. 315 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: Have you know, would have been an honor, but we 316 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: decided to go a different route. Since you're not going 317 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: that route, I can ask you now, and there's you know, 318 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: there's no downside. Which Shark would you have wanted to 319 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: get a deal from for your kids nutraceutical company? Oh man, 320 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: that's a great question. You know, everybody hates Mark Cuban 321 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: and I don't even know if he would have wanted 322 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: to invest, but he would have been um strategic. Uh 323 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: maybe Laurie, I love her too. Yeah, you guys would ask. 324 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: There's some girls, some girl power synergy there as well, 325 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: so that would make that sure no, she's great. I've 326 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: I've seen I reached the point of saturation, but I've 327 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: seen so many I feel like I could sit there 328 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, I know what the sharks 329 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: are gonna say before they say it. A lot of 330 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: the time, I've seen too many episodes that show it's 331 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: a lot of fun um. I want to ask you 332 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: about some just general life stuff when we come back 333 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: here in a second. What was it like to be 334 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: a millennial these days out on the scene in Illinois 335 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: or you're in the suburbs of Chicago.

And I think that there's a perspective that 378 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: young conservative women can give to the you know, the 379 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: up and coming conservative women in a college age, just 380 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: about what it's like being in the culture these days, 381 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: what they face, what's true, what's not, what's important, what's not? What? 382 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: What do you tell them? Making your man a sandwich 383 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: is a nice thing to do, It is not, It 384 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: is not the problem with the patriarchal society. I'll just 385 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: start off with that. You know, I think there's been 386 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: such a you know, especially in our generation and the 387 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: post you know, feminist era, of that women have to 388 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, have to do it alone. They're not you know, 389 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: you shouldn't settle down, you shouldn't be married, and I 390 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: want to. I want young women, especially to hopefully look 391 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: at somebody like myself. Of course I'm not married yet, 392 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: but you know, you can pursue your dreams and you 393 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: can be ambitious and you can go after what you want, 394 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: but also want to have a traditional family and relationship 395 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: and marriage. And I think in our generation we were 396 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: just so I don't want to say manipulated, but just 397 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: it was the culturally just grown up with hey, do 398 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: it on your own, be this you know, boss babe 399 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: or whatever they want to call it nowadays, Like I 400 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: don't need no man kind of thing, and like I 401 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: don't think that that's right. And so I think you 402 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: can be both and that you shouldn't be ashamed to 403 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: want again a traditional family and settle down, but then 404 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: also want to pursue the ambition and you know, good career, 405 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: whatever that is, even if that happens to be being 406 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: a mom. I think you can have it all. And 407 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: Democrats tried to say that we couldn't have it all, 408 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: and we certainly we're being you know, passed up by 409 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: our male counterparts speaking of male counterparts. There's a lot 410 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: of talk these days on the right in a cultural sense, 411 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: people who are very online influencers and all the rest, 412 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: from folks you know who work at the Daily Wire 413 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: on the one side, all the way over to people 414 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: like Andrew Tate, who as we speak right now is 415 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: sitting in prison and romaining i think for the third 416 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: month on all these charges that he completely denies. And 417 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's a whole whole mess around all that. 418 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: A crisis of masculinity. Though, what does that mean when 419 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: people talk about that to you? Do do you think 420 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: that's a because I'll tell you, like the other day 421 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: on radio, I just said, Hey, for the young guys 422 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: out there, I know I just got married, but I 423 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: always telling them like I was in the game a 424 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: long time, Like I went on and I was out 425 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: on the scene for for many years, and I said, 426 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: one of the most important things I tell you guys 427 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: is to be confident and be decisive in their social 428 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: lives the way they would in their business lives. And 429 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: they find that that's a that's just a very helpful 430 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: place to start, Like go up and ask if someone 431 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: says no, if they don't want to a drink with you, 432 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: or the don't want to dinner with you or whatever. 433 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: It may be fun, but go up and ask and 434 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: have a plan in mind too. Don't say, hey, I'd 435 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: like to hang out some time. I'll follow up with 436 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: like maybe what that would look like? Is there a 437 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: crisis of masculinity right now? Do you come across it? 438 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: Do you think that's a real thing? I do? I 439 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: mean there are furies going to schools now apparently, right, 440 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: so we got all kinds of problems. But go ahead. 441 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: I think it's twofold. I think number one you're still there? Yeah, okay, 442 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: I think number one is I think men again from society, 443 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: have just been so beaten down by this feminist culture 444 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: that they don't feel that they can be I don't 445 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: want to say aggressive, but assertive in you know, pursuing 446 00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: somebody or paying a compliment or you know, active trying 447 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: to court. I think at some point, like the tables 448 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: turned and I'm not sure if that and maybe you 449 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: can kind of elaborate on this as to why, but 450 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: at some point it's like women should not be chasing men. 451 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: And I feel that that has come up a lot 452 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: in especially women my age, and I also will say, 453 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: like men should feel confident in any you know, if 454 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: they have passion and they have purpose and they are 455 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: you know, working hard for their own dreams, like women 456 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: should support that and a woman should be a partner. 457 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: And I think sometimes women are women just kind of 458 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: expect something or just want to be like taken out 459 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: to dinner or you know, they're not really bringing anything. 460 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes I think they're just not playing their part either. 461 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: And so I think the gender roles they're there's a 462 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: reason why they're there when men and women are different, 463 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: as they should be, and we kind of need to 464 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: lean in a little bit more on those gender roles, 465 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: but then also modernize it, if that makes sense, Like again, 466 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: women should not be chasing men, but men should also 467 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: want to pursue or but then women should also support 468 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: dreams and likewise be a partnership. And I just don't 469 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: really see a lot of that. I don't see men 470 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: being confident and decisive and you know, knowing what they 471 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: want in life, and which is okay, everybody has kind 472 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: of your own journey, but it's like own it and 473 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: then have and if you want a partner to be 474 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: along that journey with you, amazing, But you know it's 475 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a weird time.

I think people are realizing 506 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: more and more optimum health is a big part of 507 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: optimum life, as in, if you're going to be a 508 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: successful person, you have to take an active role in 509 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: what your best health in your day to day is. 510 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: I think so many people are like, oh, I have 511 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: healthcare and I feel okay most of the time, and 512 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: they think of that as I'm healthy. M there are 513 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: levels beyond that. And also I think whenever somebody deals 514 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: with real health challenge, they understand it's in your hands, right, 515 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to be the one that's actually 516 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: driving the ship if you're just gonna get on zoc 517 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: doc and that a doctor is going to give you 518 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: a pill that has all the answers more complicated than that, absolutely, 519 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: and it starts with, you know, making small decisions and 520 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: exercising and just making up your health a priority like 521 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: your mentor like you said, it is so important because 522 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: you can't just fix things, especially long term issues, and 523 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: we need to all have its like personal responsibility. That's 524 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: why I love like Joe Rogan and kind of people 525 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: who are looking at things through an alternative perspective in 526 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: a way that we just really haven't. We've always been 527 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: just clouded by here's a pill, here's this, here's that. 528 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: Take it, It'll all be fine, instead of looking at 529 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: things in a kind of more holistic way. No, I 530 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: think it's it's critical one if people take a more 531 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: active role in their lucas. One of the reasons why 532 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: shows like Rogans I think have blown up so much 533 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: because one of the more helpful, one of the more 534 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: helpful verticals and media speak or you know, modalities approaches 535 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: to to one day to day is to optimize who 536 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: you are and how you feel every day with you know, 537 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: the best stuff you get. I'm always amazed also though, 538 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: at how many people And this is always a sign 539 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: that you're over the target, right at the hostility that 540 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: you'll get if you speak about these things and you 541 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: and you and you talk about it in the most 542 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: helpful way. You know, if you said, if you know, 543 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: it's a really good idea to get more sleep, and um, 544 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: try to limit your alcohol intake, you'll see, you know, 545 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: some people say, oh that's great, you know on Twitter 546 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: or something, of all these people, you shut up. You're 547 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: not the boss of me. Why no one's the boss 548 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: of anybody. You're just trying to come up with some uh, 549 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: some thoughts that would be useful to people who choose 550 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: to act on them. But I think there's a lot 551 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: of hostility out there because I do think that America 552 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: as a country could be a lot not just physically 553 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: but but emotionally healthier. Absolutely, And you know, people don't 554 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: ever want they always want somebody to be reliant on something. 555 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: And you know, I almost equate it to the founders too, 556 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: they always wanted you know, man defines his own destiny, 557 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: Individuals define their own destiny and by doing that, like 558 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: you are your most authentic self, Like you're taking your 559 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: matter in your own hands. That is true freedom and liberty. 560 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: And we live in just a culture now that you 561 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: know there isn't a lot of freedom. And then when 562 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: you are exposing that freedom or you are taking the 563 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: route that kind of you define your own destiny. You 564 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: do things to help yourself. You again, personal responsibility. That 565 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: does kind of trigger a lot of people who are 566 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: so set on this victim mentality. And that's in any 567 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: aspect of life. You know, again, you define your own destiny, 568 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: You decide who, what you want to be, how you 569 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: want to feel, and the way out is always from within. 570 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: And I think that's super important too. And you're right, 571 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: you get a lot of hate for that, for speaking 572 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: your mind and pursuing the alternative route that's less traveled. 573 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: But I think a lot of people are waking up 574 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: now and really kind of going down that path of 575 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: true freedom and true authenticity. Catalina Laufe everybody, Catalina, where 576 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: should people go to follow your work?
