00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcasts. Today,

13
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you with a solo episode all about community.

14
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: This has kind of come about because I just got

15
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: back early this morning from all girls retreat in Bali.

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: It was just five nights. It was so much fun.

17
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: We fit in so much, but I also feel very relaxed.

18
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: And I went with one of my best friends, Isabella,

19
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: and we went with this tour company named the Bali Club,

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: So it was all girls. They plan everything and we

21
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of just like explored. We went to some day clubs,

22
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun, had a lot of cocktails,

23
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: and it was an intimate group. I think there was

24
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: probably twelve or fourteen people there, all girls, like I said,

25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: and I just had the best time. It was good

26
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: because I personally don't like being out of routine for

27
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: too long, and so it was this really good time

28
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: where it was only five nights, so it was kind

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: of like a long weekend. And then I'm home now.

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I was there too long. I

31
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: don't even feel out of routine. I just feel like

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I had a really good time and now I'm ready

33
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: to get back and to everything, which is great. Also, guys,

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm very much just like winging this episode two. Personally,

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I love just kind of like real time unplanned podcast episodes,

36
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: and this trip has just really got me thinking about

37
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: community and personal connection. I personally, obviously I love social media.

38
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: It's my job, and I love using it because it's

39
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: really an incredible tool, obviously for my business, but also

40
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: for personal reasons for connection. So I love social media.

41
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I love being online and all that sort of thing.

42
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: But something I did realize from my quick little getaway

43
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: is how much I crave human connection. So I met

44
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: these girls on the trip, and they were all kind

45
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: of just like normal everyday girls. They all had different occupations,

46
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: they were at different chapters in their lives. Some were

47
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: younger than me, some were older than me. Some you know,

48
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: we're just studying. Some were really far in their career.

49
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: And it was just so interesting. And I really loved

50
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: just like chatting and talking to these girls. And I

51
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: found we were all quite like minded, and it was

52
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: just really nice. And I think because I do have

53
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: an online business and I work from home, I obviously,

54
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, I chat to Mel on the phone and

55
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: we do have a weekly meeting, but I also don't

56
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: get a lot of in person connection. And I just

57
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: realized how much I did crave it, and so I

58
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: just wanted to come on here and talk to you

59
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: guys and maybe let you guys think about how do

60
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: you want to live in regards to human connection. So

61
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: at the moment, are you currently living most of your

62
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: connection online, you know, through texts or Facebook or Instagram,

63
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: or are you someone who has a lot of in

64
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: person connection, and like, how does it make you feel?

65
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: I also realize in this trip that my if you

66
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: guys don't know the new iPhones or like, I don't

67
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: know if you update them or something like that, but

68
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: they tell you how much screen time that you are using,

69
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: and so I'm not gonna lie. My screen time is

70
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: always very high. But again I always, you know, put

71
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: it down to, oh, I have a business online, you know,

72
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: in st and social media is kind of my job

73
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: in a way, and I run a lot of different

74
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: things online. Ou say, I have Naked Harvest, and I

75
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: personally with mal sorry not just personally do all the

76
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: social media and the sort of marketing side of that.

77
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I have a lot to do with the back end

78
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: as well. And then obviously I run the rights and

79
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: conquer Instagram myself. I run my own account all by myself,

80
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: so I have a lot going on. So I always

81
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: just like didn't even care that my screen time was

82
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: extremely high, and I just thought, that's my job. It's fine.

83
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I have a really healthy relationship with social media and

84
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: being online, and I definitely do. I don't feel too consumed.

85
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: But I noticed that my screen time during this trip

86
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: was literally a quarter of what it usually was, and

87
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: I just had so much more in person connection and

88
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: I just realized how great it made me feel, how

89
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: relaxed I felt. I was like me and Isabelle just

90
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: kept laughing the whole time, and we were just talking

91
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: how much we just love chatting, like like, I'm literally

92
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: just a chatterbox. I was probably annoying at some stages,

93
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: but and I just really loved the energy of being

94
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: with other girls who were in either not necessarily similar

95
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: situations but just like minded and I really enjoyed it.

96
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: And so I was wondering, like, are you someone who

97
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: craves that in person connection. Are you kind of feeling

98
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: like a little bit disconnected with how much we live

99
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: our sort of in person connections online too, or is

100
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: like is this just me? And obviously, like I said,

101
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: this is my job and everything like that, so it's

102
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: not like I'm not going to be online. But like

103
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: I said, I just did really crave that connection with

104
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: like like minded women, really inspiring, funny women. And so

105
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: while I was in BALI I created a closed Facebook group,

106
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: and I want to invite you guys to come to

107
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: this Facebook group. I named it Rise and Conquer Podcast Community,

108
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: And so I really wanted to invite you if you

109
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: were also someone who is craving more connection with like

110
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: minded women. If you are someone who enjoys this podcast.

111
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: We talk about so many different things on here, but

112
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: I think we very much have one resounding purpose where

113
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: we're all working towards goals, We're interested in different topics.

114
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: We're really open minded people. That's personally what I think

115
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: of my Rise and Conquer community. And I think it

116
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: would be really fun to have a closed Facebook group,

117
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: so somewhere very safe, you don't have to worry about

118
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: people seeing your posts or questions, and somewhere we can go,

119
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, if it's chatting about the episodes or you

120
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: just need advice, and you have this group of like

121
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: minded girls. Are boys, probably mostly girls. I'm ninety nine

122
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: percent women, like that's my audience statistics. Yeah, just to

123
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: like chat and find a community and be with each other.

124
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Obviously it's still online, and like I was saying, I

125
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: definitely prefer that in person, but it's kind of like

126
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: the next step where we're really finding out people. So

127
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: I want to invite you guys come and join the

128
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Rise and Concor podcast community. Just search Rise and Concor

129
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: podcast community. I made the group through the Rise and

130
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Concor podcast page and then you'll also see me and

131
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Mel like me personally my personal Facebook and Mel as

132
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: admin and you just have to request you just put

133
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: in your email address and well only if you you

134
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: don't actually have to, and we will accept you. And yeah,

135
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: I just want to create this community of girls that

136
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: kind of go that one step further. I know my

137
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: dms kind of get flooded after I do post episodes,

138
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: and I have these really amazing conversations with girls, but

139
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: I often don't get to a lot of them just

140
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: because I'm so time poor, and so I think it

141
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: would be really great to have this kind of online community.

142
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: And also what I was saying in regards to that

143
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: in person connection, I've spoken to Mel and we've actually

144
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: been working on something behind the scenes in regards to

145
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: creating an event so we can have more in person

146
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: contact with each other and sort of have that community. Obviously,

147
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I don't have anything certain now. It's actually quite difficult,

148
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: but just I wanted to let you guys know I

149
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: am working on it. And then also, ever since this trip,

150
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: I spoke to Mel and I was like, we have

151
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: to make this happen. Let's do it. I really am

152
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: craving that in person connection with you guys, because I

153
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: know you're my people. I know you're my girls, and yeah,

154
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm feeling very passionate about it, and

155
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: I want that to be one of this year's goal,

156
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: especially with the podcast. I personally, like Mel loves the

157
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: idea of like a meetup, and she's mentioned it numerous

158
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: times before, and I've personally squashed that because I don't know,

159
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: a meetup feels very self consumed, bit narcissistic, and I'm

160
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I'm like, just you know, people come

161
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: to meet me. No, I don't know that sounds weird,

162
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: but when we spoke about it and it being an

163
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: event where people coming in and it's like my podcast

164
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: crew and women who are into the same things as me,

165
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: obviously care about the same things, striving to be better

166
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: humans and open minded humans. Like it really feels good.

167
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: And I very much run my business in regards to

168
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: what feels good, and this feels really good, and especially

169
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: after the retreat, I am just craving that human connection

170
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,119
Speaker 1: and just that personal connection with my people. This podcast

171
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,960

Speaker 1: love it. I could not recommend it enough, but don't

180
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: take it from me. Here's a testimonial from a real

181
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: life customer. Candice says, I stopped taking pre workout six

182
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: months ago due to the effects it had on my

183
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: nervous system and the side effects of the added nasties.

184
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: I first tried the Naked Harvest supplement this morning and

185
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: so far I am loving it. It's been four hours

186
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: and I have not experienced a crash of any kind,

187
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: and I had so much energy during my workout I

188
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: cannot wait to continue using it. If you also need

189

196
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: To finish off this episode, I just want to talk

197
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: a little bit about community and kind of my thoughts

198
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: and feelings around it, because it's very developed over the

199
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: time and evolved. I think as you get older, you

200
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: understand and you appreciate so much more what a community is,

201
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: how much it affects your life. And so I did, actually,

202
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: I looked up the definition of a community. I have

203
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: this like weird thing where like I start thinking about

204
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: a term and really get into it. I look up

205
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: the definition. I don't know why, and I just wanted

206
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: to read it to you guys. So, a community is

207
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: a group of living things sharing the same environment. They

208
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: usually have shared interest. In human communities, people have some

209
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: of the same beliefs and needs, and this affects the

210
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: identity of the group and the people in it. And

211
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: I love this because it's so true who you surround

212
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: yourself with really affects the person you are. And it's

213
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: kind of like I I remember the saying I know

214
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: this saying is more towards business, but like your income

215
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: is the average of the five people around you. And

216
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about income, but I also believe that

217
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: like your beliefs, your way of living, your interests are

218
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: very much similar to your immediate group. And I know

219
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: sometimes we can have friends and it can feel like

220
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: a community, but it's not exactly healthy, and it can

221
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: be quite toxic. And I personally have been in this

222
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: position quite a few times, and once I sort of

223
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: shifted and I almost like rearranged my community. You very

224
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: much elevate as a person when the people around you

225
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: are supportive and really good for you. And so I

226
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: want to chat about what I believe a community should be,

227
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: what I personally strive in my own life, and I

228
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: think we just shouldn't underestimate how much a community can

229
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: really uplift you and evolve you as a person. So

230
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: the people that I surround myself, I want to be

231
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: able to be completely myself. And this is actually something

232
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: if you have me on social media or even YouTube

233
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,239
Speaker 1: and then the podcast, you'll notice how much more personal

234
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: I am on the podcast. It's because I very much

235
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: feel safe and I feel like the people who go

236
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: to the extent of listening to this podcast are very

237
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: much kind of like my people, and I feel very

238
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: safe and I can feel like I can be very vulnerable,

239
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: and I love that. That's personally something that I really

240
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: look for in a community. I look for being able

241
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: to participate and share stories. So like, like I said,

242
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: being comfortable enough to be quite personal with you guys,

243
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and very much wanting to be surrounded by people who

244
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: want to participate, who want to share stories. A big

245
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: thing on the trip the Bali Retreats, Sorry, was I

246
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: was just like so open and then everyone else was

247
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: quite open, and it's just like this really cool environment

248
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: that I'm all about it, and like, forget the small talk.

249
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: I want to go deep straight away. Like that's just

250
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: the person I am. Probably a little bit too much

251
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: too us, but I'm going with it. And I want

252
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: a community where everyone feels very confident, they feel free

253
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: to speak their mind. A big thing with me and

254
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: some of my really close personal friends is sometimes we

255
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: actually don't have the same beliefs and interest but we're

256
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: very much respectful enough where that person is able to

257
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: have that and you know, still speak their mind. And

258
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 1: I love challenging my friends like and my community and

259
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: challenging them, but doing it in a very genuine, respectful way,

260
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: because we all do have so many different beliefs and

261
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: how we think, and that's okay. Like I personally would

262
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: hate to be in a community or in a position

263
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: where just like everyone agreed with me all the time

264
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: and just like there was no challenges, there was no

265
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: pushing me to think and be my best. And that's

266
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: something that I really try with this podcast with you guys, girls, guys,

267
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: girls is very much I think you'll notice in especially

268
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: in my solo episodes, I usually give you questions to

269
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: think about, and I talk about like thought provoking stuff

270
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: because I do want to challenge you, guys. I do

271
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: want to speak about things sort of outside the realm

272
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: and get you guys thinking. And it's okay if you

273
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: don't think the same as me or your friend or

274
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I think it's very healthy to

275
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: be surrounded by people, whether it's online or in person,

276
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: with these sorts of things in place. And for me,

277
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: like community is, like I've said, I've been going on

278
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: about it, it's just the connection. And I've just realised

279
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: for me very much in my business, in everything, like

280
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: that's very much a motivator for me. So that's it, guys,

281
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to wrap up this podcast. It was just

282
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: a really quick, short one. Like I said, I was

283
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: just feeling very passionate about this after Bali trip, and

284
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: so I literally created the Facebook group like a couple

285
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: of days ago, and I wanted to get this in

286
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: your ears and get people on there and start creating

287
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: that community that I'm craving. And also, like I said,

288
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm really striving. It's one of my goals this year

289
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: to do some sort of in person event with the podcast,

290
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: so you know, keep your eyes and ears out for that.

291
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: And yes, thank you so much for listening. Next week,
