0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and welcome back to the Rise and Conquer Podcasts. Today,

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm coming to you with a solo episode all about community.

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>This has kind of come about because I just got

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>back early this morning from all girls retreat in Bali.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>It was just five nights. It was so much fun.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>We fit in so much, but I also feel very relaxed.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>And I went with one of my best friends, Isabella,

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and we went with this tour company named the Bali Club,

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>So it was all girls. They plan everything and we

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of just like explored. We went to some day clubs,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of fun, had a lot of cocktails,

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and it was an intimate group. I think there was

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>probably twelve or fourteen people there, all girls, like I said,

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and I just had the best time. It was good

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>because I personally don't like being out of routine for

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>too long, and so it was this really good time

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>where it was only five nights, so it was kind

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of like a long weekend. And then I'm home now.

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like I was there too long. I

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>don't even feel out of routine. I just feel like

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I had a really good time and now I'm ready

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to get back and to everything, which is great. Also, guys,

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm very much just like winging this episode two. Personally,

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I love just kind of like real time unplanned podcast episodes,

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and this trip has just really got me thinking about

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>community and personal connection. I personally, obviously I love social media.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>It's my job, and I love using it because it's

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>really an incredible tool, obviously for my business, but also

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:58.239
<v Speaker 1>for personal reasons for connection. So I love social media.

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I love being online and all that sort of thing.

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:06.119
<v Speaker 1>But something I did realize from my quick little getaway

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>is how much I crave human connection. So I met

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>these girls on the trip, and they were all kind

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.679
<v Speaker 1>of just like normal everyday girls. They all had different occupations,

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 1>they were at different chapters in their lives. Some were

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>younger than me, some were older than me. Some you know,

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>we're just studying. Some were really far in their career.

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>And it was just so interesting. And I really loved

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>just like chatting and talking to these girls. And I

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>found we were all quite like minded, and it was

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>just really nice. And I think because I do have

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>an online business and I work from home, I obviously,

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I chat to Mel on the phone and

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>we do have a weekly meeting, but I also don't

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of in person connection. And I just

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>realized how much I did crave it, and so I

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to come on here and talk to you

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>guys and maybe let you guys think about how do

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to live in regards to human connection. So

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, are you currently living most of your

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>connection online, you know, through texts or Facebook or Instagram,

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>or are you someone who has a lot of in

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>person connection, and like, how does it make you feel?

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I also realize in this trip that my if you

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>guys don't know the new iPhones or like, I don't

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>know if you update them or something like that, but

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 1>they tell you how much screen time that you are using,

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.280
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm not gonna lie. My screen time is

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>always very high. But again I always, you know, put

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it down to, oh, I have a business online, you know,

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>in st and social media is kind of my job

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in a way, and I run a lot of different

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>things online. Ou say, I have Naked Harvest, and I

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.039
<v Speaker 1>personally with mal sorry not just personally do all the

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>social media and the sort of marketing side of that.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot to do with the back end

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>as well. And then obviously I run the rights and

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>conquer Instagram myself. I run my own account all by myself,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>so I have a lot going on. So I always

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>just like didn't even care that my screen time was

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 1>extremely high, and I just thought, that's my job. It's fine.

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I have a really healthy relationship with social media and

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 1>being online, and I definitely do. I don't feel too consumed.

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But I noticed that my screen time during this trip

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 1>was literally a quarter of what it usually was, and

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I just had so much more in person connection and

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I just realized how great it made me feel, how

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 1>relaxed I felt. I was like me and Isabelle just

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>kept laughing the whole time, and we were just talking

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>how much we just love chatting, like like, I'm literally

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>just a chatterbox. I was probably annoying at some stages,

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>but and I just really loved the energy of being

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>with other girls who were in either not necessarily similar

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>situations but just like minded and I really enjoyed it.

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>And so I was wondering, like, are you someone who

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 1>craves that in person connection. Are you kind of feeling

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>like a little bit disconnected with how much we live

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>our sort of in person connections online too, or is

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>like is this just me? And obviously, like I said,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this is my job and everything like that, so it's

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>not like I'm not going to be online. But like

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>I said, I just did really crave that connection with

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like like minded women, really inspiring, funny women. And so

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:05.679
<v Speaker 1>while I was in BALI I created a closed Facebook group,

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and I want to invite you guys to come to

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>this Facebook group. I named it Rise and Conquer Podcast Community,

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And so I really wanted to invite you if you

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>were also someone who is craving more connection with like

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 1>minded women. If you are someone who enjoys this podcast.

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>We talk about so many different things on here, but

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I think we very much have one resounding purpose where

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>we're all working towards goals, We're interested in different topics.

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>We're really open minded people. That's personally what I think

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of my Rise and Conquer community. And I think it

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>would be really fun to have a closed Facebook group,

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>so somewhere very safe, you don't have to worry about

0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>people seeing your posts or questions, and somewhere we can go,

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it's chatting about the episodes or you

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>just need advice, and you have this group of like

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>minded girls. Are boys, probably mostly girls. I'm ninety nine

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>percent women, like that's my audience statistics. Yeah, just to

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>like chat and find a community and be with each other.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Obviously it's still online, and like I was saying, I

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>definitely prefer that in person, but it's kind of like

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the next step where we're really finding out people. So

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to invite you guys come and join the

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Rise and Concor podcast community. Just search Rise and Concor

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>podcast community. I made the group through the Rise and

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Concor podcast page and then you'll also see me and

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Mel like me personally my personal Facebook and Mel as

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 1>admin and you just have to request you just put

0:08:55.760 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>in your email address and well only if you you

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>don't actually have to, and we will accept you. And yeah,

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I just want to create this community of girls that

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of go that one step further. I know my

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>dms kind of get flooded after I do post episodes,

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and I have these really amazing conversations with girls, but

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I often don't get to a lot of them just

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 1>because I'm so time poor, and so I think it

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>would be really great to have this kind of online community.

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>And also what I was saying in regards to that

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>in person connection, I've spoken to Mel and we've actually

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>been working on something behind the scenes in regards to

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>creating an event so we can have more in person

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>contact with each other and sort of have that community. Obviously,

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't have anything certain now. It's actually quite difficult,

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>but just I wanted to let you guys know I

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>am working on it. And then also, ever since this trip,

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to Mel and I was like, we have

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to make this happen. Let's do it. I really am

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>craving that in person connection with you guys, because I

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>know you're my people. I know you're my girls, and yeah,

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm feeling very passionate about it, and

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I want that to be one of this year's goal,

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>especially with the podcast. I personally, like Mel loves the

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>idea of like a meetup, and she's mentioned it numerous

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 1>times before, and I've personally squashed that because I don't know,

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 1>a meetup feels very self consumed, bit narcissistic, and I'm

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>just like, oh, I'm like, just you know, people come

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to meet me. No, I don't know that sounds weird,

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>but when we spoke about it and it being an

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>event where people coming in and it's like my podcast

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>crew and women who are into the same things as me,

0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously care about the same things, striving to be better

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 1>humans and open minded humans. Like it really feels good.

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>And I very much run my business in regards to

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>what feels good, and this feels really good, and especially

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 1>after the retreat, I am just craving that human connection

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:25.119
<v Speaker 1>and just that personal connection with my people. This podcast

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.960

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>optimize your day. It is unique as it will enhance

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>your mood, give you the energy you need to conquer

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.839
<v Speaker 1>your workout, but without the jitters and crash that usual

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>pre workouts give you. I've personally use this pre workout

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>every single day fifteen minutes before my workout and generally

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>love it. I could not recommend it enough, but don't

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>take it from me. Here's a testimonial from a real

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>life customer. Candice says, I stopped taking pre workout six

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>months ago due to the effects it had on my

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>nervous system and the side effects of the added nasties.

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I first tried the Naked Harvest supplement this morning and

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>so far I am loving it. It's been four hours

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and I have not experienced a crash of any kind,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and I had so much energy during my workout I

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>cannot wait to continue using it. If you also need

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>some natural energy for your workout but without the crash,

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.000

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>To finish off this episode, I just want to talk

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about community and kind of my thoughts

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and feelings around it, because it's very developed over the

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>time and evolved. I think as you get older, you

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>understand and you appreciate so much more what a community is,

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>how much it affects your life. And so I did, actually,

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I looked up the definition of a community. I have

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>this like weird thing where like I start thinking about

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>a term and really get into it. I look up

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the definition. I don't know why, and I just wanted

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to read it to you guys. So, a community is

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a group of living things sharing the same environment. They

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>usually have shared interest. In human communities, people have some

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>of the same beliefs and needs, and this affects the

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>identity of the group and the people in it. And

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I love this because it's so true who you surround

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>yourself with really affects the person you are. And it's

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of like I I remember the saying I know

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>this saying is more towards business, but like your income

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>is the average of the five people around you. And

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about income, but I also believe that

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like your beliefs, your way of living, your interests are

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>very much similar to your immediate group. And I know

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we can have friends and it can feel like

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>a community, but it's not exactly healthy, and it can

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>be quite toxic. And I personally have been in this

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>position quite a few times, and once I sort of

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 1>shifted and I almost like rearranged my community. You very

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>much elevate as a person when the people around you

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 1>are supportive and really good for you. And so I

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>want to chat about what I believe a community should be,

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>what I personally strive in my own life, and I

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>think we just shouldn't underestimate how much a community can

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:14.400
<v Speaker 1>really uplift you and evolve you as a person. So

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the people that I surround myself, I want to be

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>able to be completely myself. And this is actually something

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>if you have me on social media or even YouTube

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and then the podcast, you'll notice how much more personal

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I am on the podcast. It's because I very much

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>feel safe and I feel like the people who go

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to the extent of listening to this podcast are very

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>much kind of like my people, and I feel very

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>safe and I can feel like I can be very vulnerable,

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>and I love that. That's personally something that I really

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>look for in a community. I look for being able

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to participate and share stories. So like, like I said,

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>being comfortable enough to be quite personal with you guys,

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and very much wanting to be surrounded by people who

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>want to participate, who want to share stories. A big

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>thing on the trip the Bali Retreats, Sorry, was I

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>was just like so open and then everyone else was

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.640
<v Speaker 1>quite open, and it's just like this really cool environment

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that I'm all about it, and like, forget the small talk.

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to go deep straight away. Like that's just

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the person I am. Probably a little bit too much

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>too us, but I'm going with it. And I want

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a community where everyone feels very confident, they feel free

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 1>to speak their mind. A big thing with me and

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>some of my really close personal friends is sometimes we

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 1>actually don't have the same beliefs and interest but we're

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>very much respectful enough where that person is able to

0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>have that and you know, still speak their mind. And

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I love challenging my friends like and my community and

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>challenging them, but doing it in a very genuine, respectful way,

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.199
<v Speaker 1>because we all do have so many different beliefs and

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>how we think, and that's okay. Like I personally would

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 1>hate to be in a community or in a position

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>where just like everyone agreed with me all the time

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and just like there was no challenges, there was no

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>pushing me to think and be my best. And that's

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>something that I really try with this podcast with you guys, girls, guys,

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>girls is very much I think you'll notice in especially

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 1>in my solo episodes, I usually give you questions to

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.919
<v Speaker 1>think about, and I talk about like thought provoking stuff

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>because I do want to challenge you, guys. I do

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 1>want to speak about things sort of outside the realm

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and get you guys thinking. And it's okay if you

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>don't think the same as me or your friend or

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.840
<v Speaker 1>anything like that. But I think it's very healthy to

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 1>be surrounded by people, whether it's online or in person,

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 1>with these sorts of things in place. And for me,

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>like community is, like I've said, I've been going on

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>about it, it's just the connection. And I've just realised

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>for me very much in my business, in everything, like

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that's very much a motivator for me. So that's it, guys,

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to wrap up this podcast. It was just

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.159
<v Speaker 1>a really quick, short one. Like I said, I was

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.320
<v Speaker 1>just feeling very passionate about this after Bali trip, and

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 1>so I literally created the Facebook group like a couple

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.879
<v Speaker 1>of days ago, and I wanted to get this in

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 1>your ears and get people on there and start creating

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.639
<v Speaker 1>that community that I'm craving. And also, like I said,

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm really striving. It's one of my goals this year

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to do some sort of in person event with the podcast,

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so you know, keep your eyes and ears out for that.

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And yes, thank you so much for listening. Next week,
