Of course. Now, I just want 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: to get this straight. So you were like you had 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: you went to college, right, and then you were working 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: at Goldman Sachs, and you said, I'm not gonna do that. 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna travel the world and house sit. Yeah. Yeah, 27 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: So it may surprise people, but I was living a 28 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: very convinctional lifestyle before all of this. I I did 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: go to Boston College, I got my master's in organizational 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: psychology from Column University, and yes I was working in 31 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: h R on Wall Street. Um, but yeah, ultimately I 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: realized I wasn't fuspilled by the career path that I 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: was on. I had to shift in the way that 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: I saw the world and the fine success and I 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: wanted more freedom. I wanted to live life on my 36 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: own term. So I found a way to make it happen, 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: and I started as an online educator. So was it 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean that takes a lot of courage to walk 39 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: away from all of that preparation for a job and 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: then working on Wall Street at a big company like 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: Goldman Zachs. Was it a difficult decision for you to 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: go off and do this or was it just a 43 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: natural thing? Oh? Yeah, it was definitely a difficult decision. 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: It was definitely a journey for me. Um. And Yeah, 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I do like to share 46 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: my background is because I really didn't have this plan 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: for my life, and you know, I want people to 48 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: know it's okay to pivot and make a change to 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: that plan. Yes, it did take a lot of courage, um. 50 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: And you know, I really worked hard towards what I 51 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: thought was my dream career. But when I realized I 52 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: wasn't fulfilled by that task, I knew I had to 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: make a change. So I don't know who needs to 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: hear this, but give yourself persmiss permission to make a 55 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: change if you're feeling on the builder stuff. And I 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are thinking, hey, I wish 57 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: I could just do that. Maybe they need to hear 58 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: you know how you did? So you you were in Switzerland, Italy, Prague, 59 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: New York City, California and Wine Country and how do 60 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: you how do you meet the people that bring you 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: into their homes to house it? Yeah, So there's a 62 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: couple of online platforms that you can use. Um. So 63 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: there are there's Trusted house Sitters is one of them. 64 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: Rover House Sitters, America, house Cares, Mind my House. UM. 65 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Those are a couple of the online platforms and essentially 66 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: you pay an annual membership fee. So the highest annual 67 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: membership fee is a hundred twenty nine dollars. I actually 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: have a reference code that look at off if you. 69 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: I'll have the reference code in my TikTok and my Instagram. 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: I had Christina cors um.

UM. And then just for those that 74 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: don't know what house sitting actually is, UM, it's kind 75 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: of like babysitting, but there's no baby.
