It was. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.520 It was conceptual. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.640 It was like she's like doing my childhood, my image, 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.839 my brand, my brand, two big tails, and then she 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.280 kept that for fifteen years. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.400 You know, that's. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.760 Artistically there you go, that's a nice way. Hold on, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.119 I'm opening my spicy trauma box. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.080 The realty is that I was actually it was a 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:07.080 rebellious attempt to go against people being Likeleen. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.000 And I felt like super. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.359 Uncomfortable with my hair down. Not to get too personal, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.799 and instead I'm so glad. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.200 I'm so glad they're gone. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:22.360 I will say that that's that's awesome, that that you 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.000 kept it the rebellion thing for that long. That speaks 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.720 a lot about your drive and commitment to my lack. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.719 Of care of my appearance. But here I am. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.800 You always killed it. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:35.960 Yeah, pigtails, they're not. 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.240 I mean, she really killed it again if they ever 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.880 come up. Everybody has permission to kill the braids, so 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.239 do it quickly anyway. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.120 So you guys, obviously. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.600 From a young age, we're always doing music. I at 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.440 first tried to go against it. You know, Jim is 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.960 also a musician, so she knows inherently how much you 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.880 can't like avoid something like that. For each of you, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.360 when did you feel like you knew, like, all right, 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.280 this is something that I know I can't live without, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.600 and I want to pursue despite what happened prior to 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:07.640 you you choosing. 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.320 Honestly, for me, it was never not the route I 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.839 was going to take. I always knew, since I was 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.760 very little that that this is what I wanted to 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.280 do that. I that I that anything that was anything 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.520 other than music was a waste of time. So for me, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.120 school was hard because I was like what am I 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.880 doing here? You know, Like yeah, Dad, I'd be like 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.080 dad that my dad also does this for a living. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.240 So I'm like that, how many times a day do 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:34.800 you use math? 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.080 Like for real? Like use algebra for real? 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.359 Like no, well no, it's exactly like I want to 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.279 do the same thing you do, So what do I 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.000 need to be here? So I always knew that music 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.479 was kind of like my but I feel like we 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.200 get reminded of that, even though like I'd never stopped 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.159 making music, the reason or the love of why you 0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:00.599 do music, we constantly like remind ourselves because I I time, 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.240 I wanted to make it so bad, you know, like 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.240 I wanted this to be my life so bad that 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.400 I was like willing to sacrifice anything. You know. It 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.680 was like what do I need to do? 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.680 What do I got to you know? 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.240 And then it comes that I've learned with age and 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.480 studying like myself also like I've realized now that that 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.840 part of my personality is like sure, I could kind 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.680 of mold myself to try to do things that might 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.560 make it easier for people to like me, But at 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.080 the end of the day, I always go back to 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.120 who I truly am and what I want to do 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:41.720 and what like my ideas are. So we are constantly 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.440 reminding ourselves of why we do music, and it's not 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.800 to make money or to go out and be huge, 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.960 and you know, like the core reason of why we 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.360 make music is because we love to make music, you know. 0:07:54.840 --> 0:08:00.040 So I've reminded myself many times to us why I 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.360 do this. You know. I guess since I was born 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.120 till now, I keep reminding myself, you know. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.160 So I feel like. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.040 I don't remember the moment where I said, all right, yes, 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.160 this is but I do remember this one moment where 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.560 we're already kind of we're already recording our first album, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.480 and that was already I must have been thirteen, fourteen. 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.360 And it's amazing, that's insane, that's incredible. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.040 And I remember that we would go to the studio 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.960 and we'd spend hours and we'd be recording and have 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.000 to re record it because our voices would change and 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.720 all that stuff. And I remember there was this one 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.840 time where I just wanted to go play soccer as 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:42.920 a kid with. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.520 Like some of my friends or something like that. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.280 And I remember that I had this conversation I think 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.719 it was with my dad where he was like, this 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.120 is a job. If you do want to do this, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.959 it has to be something that you when you sian percento, 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.360 you know, all in. And I knew I wanted to 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:01.719 be all in, but at the same time, there was 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.079 a part of me that that was like, but I'm 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.319 also a kid, you know, and I'm also like feeling. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:09.960 Rick and I were. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.920 We always knew we wanted to do this together, and 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.960 Rick was already ready already with the mindset, and me 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.800 as a thirteen year old, I think I was like, yeah, yes, 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.040 I really want this as well, but I also sometimes 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:29.040 want to go hanging. And I feel like that made 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.360 me grow up a little bit. 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:32.760 Too quickly, you know. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.680 Although my parents also they always told us, hey, don't rush, 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.360 there's always time, don't rush, Don't do it when you're 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.480 so young, because we want you to have a normal life. 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.640 And I think that was a little bit obviously Ricky 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.520 and I pressured them so much. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.720 So I think that was my dad a little bit 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.040 saying like, yo, so. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.920 You you you guys pressured us into allowing you guys 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:03.600 to already start the thing. Oh no, if you want 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:04.040 to do this. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.680 A lot of times, you just gotta go full throttle. 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.400 It's a momento. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.360 I feel like was one of those moments where I 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:14.640 made a decision internally. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.440 I was like, you see, I guess let's go. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:24.480 Let's wow, that's incredible. You were talking, Ricky about constantly 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.599 running into the reason why you love music, why you 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.680 like to do what you do, And I know that 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.960 the word why leans a lot to both of you. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.160 Now you have a podcast, the hy Podcast and the 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.080 Y Project and the Y Club is like this overarching theme. 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.719 But for somebody who doesn't know what that is, can 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:42.800 you explain that to us? 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:43.920 Yeah? 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:52.960 So, the the word why and just purpose in general 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.400 was something that I felt like it's became a big 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:58.520 part of our lives. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.640 A couple of years back where we. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.560 Realized I guess we always kind of knew that music 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:09.120 wasn't just It wasn't just oh, let me just be famous, 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.760 so let me just do this for the heck of it, 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.160 or let me just survive or try to make money. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.560 It was way more than that. It was way deeper, and. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.000 I guess I hit a wall where I realized that 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.680 living through my ego and just based on my ego 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.760 was really affecting me in general. Then when I tell 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.880 it to Ricky, he felt because we are living the 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.840 same being in the same band together a lot of 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.480 times you kind of live the same things. And I 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.320 remember telling it to Ricky and be like, Dude, I 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.360 just feel like this way of us working is not 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.360 at all beneficial for our health in general. You know, 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.760 I feel like our mental health was was struggling. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.400 And a lot of things were affecting us. And so I. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.240 Remember realizing the importance of living through purpose and how 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:59.320 that kind of it doesn't mean you're exempt from a 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.720 lot of things, but it does mean that if you 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:06.040 focus on that, you start to give less importance to 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:10.599 things that your ego would give importance to, Like, for example, comparison, 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.560 you know, like. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.440 It's a thief of joy. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:20.720 Yep, fun sponge see, but if he had the in 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.439 living through purpose, it allows you to see things also 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:27.120 through through, through, through gratitude, and through. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:28.640 It's just one of those keys. 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:32.840 And so that helps and living a life of way 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.080 more contentment and being a lot more fulfilled and and happy. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.160 So starting to kind of look through all of that. 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.360 We started realizing that that was a common theme in 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.679 not only our music, but in everything we wanted to 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.599 kind of represent and what we wanted. 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.440 To be about. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.319 We wanted to also to help people find that because 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.559 we know there's so many people not only in our industry, 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.320 but in every walk alive, in every career that are 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.600 struggling with the same things we would struggle with because 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.760 we didn't have that just different set of lens. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:03.560 You know. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.280 It's it's not like a lot changed, just is we 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.240 started looking at life in a different way doing the 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.800 same thing. We still we were still making music. It's 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:16.120 not like we changed that. It's just we felt like 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.360 there was way more than just this. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.680 That and and we wanted to share that. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.520 And that's why the Why project and the podcast and 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.560 everything kind of around y club and et cetera, because 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.959 we feel the importance of of sharing that message of 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.560 what's worked for us, which is living through that purpose. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.800 And it kind of I think just fell into like 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.520 our community and our and the people that follow our music, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.160 you know, we it was it was something we were 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.440 communicating and then we started realizing, like we have these 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.520 white tattoos to remind ourselves, like you know, that's the 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.080 first kind of things we did. 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.240 We all got like we both had. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:01.360 The fans started getting white tattoos. And we've always kind 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.480 of with this idea of there's more than just this. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.240 We knew that there was more of a responsibility than 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.600 just putting music out and the people there listening to 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.240 our music. So we've always had a kind of like 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.600 a like a weird relationship with the word fan or 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:22.520 like fan, you know. So that's why we're like okay, 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:27.000 and we've we've kind of been like trying to figure 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.840 it out through our career, like this is this isn't 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.520 a project that was like super planned from the beginning 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:32.080 and it's. 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.600 Like, all right, guys, this is what it's going to be. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.480 It's kind of been like making learning, making making it 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.000 up as we go. So now we've realized also that 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.760 that the people that really connect with our music and 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.960 beyond our music, with the message or whatever. It's like, 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.000 we're what can we call these the group of people 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.880 that are also on this journey, you know, So everything 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.160 kind of just yeah close together with the Y Club 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.320 and the Y Club records like music with we're now 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:00.160 owners of our mone. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.840 So it's also manifestent. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.440 We need to get Ricky his own path. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.400 Come on, he's. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.120 That This would have been all like you're a wireless. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:33.480 Like, okay, do you guys feel like an aspect of 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.560 the Y project could be interpreted as like the year 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.360 round New Year's resolution? 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:48.320 You know, yeah, I get that, Yeah for sure, yeah. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:52.480 Weaving yeah now, but that's so that's so true because 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.360 that always abandoned New Year's resolutions and things like that. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.360 And when you everything I've learned about, not only the 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.360 Why Project, how you weave that into your music and everything, hey, Brittany, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.440 is that it's consistent and you make it a part 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.920 of what you do every day, you know, loving your partners, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:15.400 your children, your pars that way. So what I'm saying 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.000 is what I interpret like somebody who takes something away, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:19.640 which you both have heard you both say like, oh, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.360 well from your art, you can take away multiple things. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.720 It's you can interpret it. And I would be like, yeah, 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.640 it's just a consistent reminder to ask yourself those really 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:34.720 hard questions daily in everything you do. And my question 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.680 is like, if you have any advice on a small 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.560 way to open that door for anybody who's listening, like, 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.080 how do you begin that process? Because it seems daunting 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.320 a little bit scary when you're facing I. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.200 Mean, it's kind of easy, I think, right in today's 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.960 society to walk around without purpose. I mean maybe not 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.440 so easy because you're like, you know, I think that 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.920 you sacrifice a little bit of yourself every day that 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.320 you deny what your soul is yearning for. But it 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.880 is the more comfortable route because I think that a 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.720 lot of us, I mean even myself, sometimes you know, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.320 we go around just performing the task. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:11.400 Them kind of you, and it's it's easy to be numb. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.760 You don't have to be like smoke to be numb 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.520 or like like just on the phone. You can lose 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.800 hours on that scrolling and not think about your problems 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.240 and nothing. So, yeah, you're I think you're absolutely right 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:28.400 that most people we go and in times like I'll 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.639 figure myself sometimes I'll be on my phone and be 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.240 like I've been swiping for thirty five minutes right now, 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.919 Like what am I doing? You know? So, but you 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:37.800 were gonna you. 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.520 Know, I think that you you you spoke of a 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.080 great point, which is that those questions are very daunting, 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.479 and I think that they create way more anxiety than 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:48.840 they actually should. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:49.280 You know. 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.960 One of the things that we thought was important when 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.639 starting to talk about all of this is kind of 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.560 trying to take out all that stress and all that 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.679 anxiety to the actual question, especially because everybody's time is different, 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.360 also because it should actually be a very beautiful kind 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:12.600 of journey. We say that the search is halfway finding it, 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.640 you know, because the search in it of itself becomes 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.080 a bit of a purpose, you know. And I would 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.720 also say to just try to surround yourself with people 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.439 who are in that same journey of looking for that 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.480 or that have already found it. I think that a 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.640 lot of times what ends up happening is because this 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:40.879 is a question that isn't necessarily either people are very 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.440 scared of this question or they've never actually asked themselves that. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.359 You know, it's not very common to ask yourself what 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.240 is your purpose? And nowadays I think that there's more 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.080 info now on that, But if you think about it, 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.280 the way we grew up, we didn't necessarily have all 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.439 of that info. We have the info of whatever the TV, radio, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:05.800 and let's say the media told us. Now with social media, 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.679 there's more, you know, but still it's kind of pushed 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:09.919 to you. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.640 You know, whatever it is that that your algorithm kind of. 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.879 Tells you it is what you are supposed to. 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:16.320 Listen to it. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.119 So I would say that surround yourself with people and 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.920 try to realize that it's not You're not supposed to 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.000 get to this super quick. 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.520 You don't have to know now, and it's okay. 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.480 One still figuring it out and it evolves. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.400 It doesn't have to be one solid thing forever. 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.119 And a lot of times people kind of fix themselves 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.000 on thinking no, no, nocambia. 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.120 It stays this is mad, this is. 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:42.440 You. 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.600 And I also believe that you could find purpose in 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.840 different seasons for life, and you could also find purpose 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:52.919 in different things or situations, say on difficult moments. 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:53.800 I think you could find. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.320 Purpose in that always and also find purpose in even 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.800 a project that you're doing. Let's say, I find purpose 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.920 in this podcast that we're creating because it's a way 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.199 for us to speak on things that maybe aren't spoken of. 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.000 I think that that's why these spaces are important, because 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.920 it allows us to go into depth into conversations that 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:18.000 we weren't necessarily raised to have. You know, yes, okay, 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.919 being familia that was extremely communicative, you know, like that 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.600 we would we had great communication, but it wasn't part 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.840 of culture to speak on anxiety, depression and all that 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.040 type of stuff, you know, or et cetera, et cetera, 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.600 et cetera. And sosays, now that surround yourself with people. 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.800 I have an amazing group of friends and family that 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:41.440 we are constantly trying to help each other find that 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:47.840 or pursue this life of living with purpose. There's no 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.640 right answers that community and that being able to say all, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:52.439
