1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,440 NPR For a long time, I thought PR was just about helping people 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,920 get seen. But over time, God showed that 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,600 visibility isn't just about being seen, it's about being 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,840 sent.

I know that you've been talking 102 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:29,880 to Adamola for a while now trying to get this scheduled. 103 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,400 So it's kind of funny that now by the time we are are able to 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,000 connect, you're actually in a completely different corner of 105 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,440 the world. Your expertise is NPR. 106 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,400 Do you want to tell us a little bit about your background? 107 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360 I know that you mentioned that you call yourself a sort of PR 108 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,080 nerd. When did you first realize that 109 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,240 the type of visibility that the brands you work with, the people 110 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,880 you work with or even just yourself and you are positioning 111 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,720 your own brand instead of just being seen, How did you know 112 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,360 that it was about much more than that? 113 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,520 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I know. 114 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,840 When I first met with Adam Ola, I was in Vancouver. 115 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:17,760 So he totally vouched for me. Totally different background. 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,120 And yeah, that's how we connected, just through doing 117 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,600 outreach for for my clients, just looking at different shows 118 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,720 to be on. And of course, in PR, for a long 119 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,760 time I thought PR was just about helping people get seen. 120 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,600 But over time, God showed that visibility isn't just about 121 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,120 being seen, it's about being sent. 122 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,360 And that's why I always lead with purposeful or intentional, 123 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:51,440 intentional PR. And it's more about stewardship 124 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,080 at the end of the day, like who are these people that I'm 125 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560 serving and how are they serving others? 126 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,400 Using your platform to serve, not just to show. 127 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,200 I always say God doesn't elevate for attention, He elevates for 128 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,480 assignments. That, that revelation completely 129 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,360 shifted how I LED who I partner with, what I do, and the 130 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,160 visibility become less about popularity and more about 131 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,600 purpose. It's no longer about, you know, 132 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,640 chasing the spotlight. It's about carrying the light 133 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,640 for, for a lot of people as well. 134 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,600 So that's why I, I feel like calling for visibility. 135 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:37,240 And naturally I I evolved from being in years of sales to 136 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,920 marketing and now here I am, public relations. 137 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,480 That's amazing to hear. Do you want to give some of us 138 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,920 and some of our listeners a little background just on your 139 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,800 faith in general and kind of where it came from? 140 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,600 You know, did it come from your upbringing? 141 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,040 A lot of different people, they'll grow up in a certain 142 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,880 type of religion, domination or a church, and some people find 143 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,320 it a little later in life. What's your story? 144 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,040 Oh, that's something that I did not prepare for, actually, but 145 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,560 it's really. Some. 146 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,120 If that's not OK to ask, I'm totally. 147 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,160 No, no, it's a really great question because I grew up 148 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,800 heavily A Buddhist. My, my family, that's all we, 149 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,880 that's all we knew. We went to the temple quite a 150 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,200 bit. However, over time, I, I just 151 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,320 keep meeting with the right people who didn't force any type 152 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,080 of religion because I know what being forced a religion feels 153 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,559 like growing up as Buddhist, right? 154 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,480 That's all you know, but yeah, meeting amazing people like 155 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,840 going to church with friends just for fun on Christmas and 156 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:55,080 later on, who's my now husband we've been friends for since 157 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,400 high school. And my business partner, they 158 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,720 were friends as well. And I, I know I'm going all over 159 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,440 the place, but the short story is when I quit my job, my very 160 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,160 solid job in sales, I went all in on door to door. 161 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:17,560 And every time before we knock in the rain, in the sun, my 162 00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:21,240 business partner and my, my now husband, they would pray. 163 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,200 And every time they pray, we would get a flood of sales. 164 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,120 Yeses, you know, and, and you know, being at the door in the 165 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,800 rain, in the cold, it's, it's kind of hard, right? 166 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,240 And I'm just like, OK, maybe this God guy is real. 167 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,280 So Fast forward 10 years later, here I am. 168 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,120 I'm moving to the other side of the world because my faith and 169 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,840 helping others share their story and in a purposeful way because 170 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,040 I feel led to just be in that position to help others. 171 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,400 And I'm just honestly living out what I I never knew I could 172 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:02,960 because of that. It's really incredible how we 173 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:08,400 see see like our own experience a lot of times almost pretty 174 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,520 common was that as entrepreneurs or people who build a business 175 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,720 and move forward, they call it a spiritual journey for sure. 176 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,880 And that it's a spiritual transformation. 177 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,840 You go through a certain type of spiritual transformation when 178 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,720 you are going through business door to door sales is no joke. 179 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,600 So a lot of people cannot do it at all. 180 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,880 So I think it's incredible to hear how you even got through 181 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,680 that type of industry and every time that you were able to 182 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:43,040 connect with your faith, you understood or not even your 183 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,320 faith. You sounds like through the 184 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,280 story, you really became a witness to it around you and it 185 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,680 kind of just connects with how you grew up in a certain way, 186 00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:55,880 but you're able to discover it in a way that you didn't feel 187 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,880 was forced. That's really incredible and 188 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,480 that's really amazing. Adam, Ola and I, we both have 189 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,960 like extensive backgrounds and you know, our own faith 190 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,560 journeys. And it's just really awesome 191 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,960 that we get to share that with the people who are listening, 192 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520 who are building their own brands, going through their own 193 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,720 journeys and where they can kind of pull those types of Nuggets 194 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,400 into their own stories. So we really, really appreciate. 195 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520 I know we didn't prepare that question, but thank you so much 196 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,080 for just giving your story on that when your brand blends 197 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,920 faith in business so beautifully together. 198 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,800 That's also why I just really wanted to ask that question and 199 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,240 you touched a little bit on it. But do you have any other notes 200 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,280 or anything else you want to include on how your spirituality 201 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:43,040 shapes the way you lead, the way you serve, and specifically the 202 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,200 way you build your clients legacies? 203 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,280 Absolutely and no worries, even if we didn't prepare for these 204 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,440 type of questions, I, you know, I light up because I get to talk 205 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,440 about who, who our creator is and and why we do what we do. 206 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,720 And that's what I love, right? And where faith meets business 207 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,680 is because the compass for everything I do, honestly, I 208 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:11,560 literally pray before I pitch or even getting into calls every 209 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:15,880 morning with my clients. It's not just a feature, it's 210 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,840 about alignment for me at the end of the day. 211 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,040 So when I guide my clients, it's not just helping them build 212 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640 brands. I'm helping them build legacies 213 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,400 rooted in integrity and intention. 214 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,640 Because when faith is not a foundation, business just 215 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,240 becomes it's, it becomes unstable, right? 216 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,640 Everyday people are, you know, trying to get attention of 217 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280 others, but what is the purpose behind that? 218 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,640 And I, I, I want to stay grounded and help my clients 219 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,240 stay grounded in that sense as well. 220 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,200 So I completely agree with that as well. 221 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,760 Adam, Ola, if you want to chime in at all, feel free because you 222 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,360 have a faith-based your whole brand on Kingdoms podcast here 223 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,960 is really faith-based as well. But. 224 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,960 I see him smiling this whole time. 225 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,040 I don't. Know, I know he looks like he 226 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,880 wants to chime in, but before he does, I just want to say. 227 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,080 Based or. What do you want to say? 228 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,480 What what what? What is the title of the article 229 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,840 that your your PR guys wrote about? 230 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,560 Me, I think. Face, face, face, face. 231 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,440 Yeah, I think that I just saw that the fade dreaming CEO. 232 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,160 So face is actually. You know, at the background of 233 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320 everything that would do and you know, I know is somebody that I 234 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,000 really, really appreciate a lot. I remember the very first day we 235 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,080 we met, we we shared Bible verses and. 236 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,680 It wasn't just like a business relationship, it was also like. 237 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,400 You know, a faith driven conversation and. 238 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,320 I remember, I remember on that. Day, Yeah. 239 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,120 I think I can't remember, but then I felt like maybe I was 240 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,600 feeling. Down that evening it was like a 241 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,680 very cold day, like in. London, you don't feel OK? 242 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:09,440 And we spoke and. I feel like we elevated each 243 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,320 other's. Spirits, just, you know, sharing 244 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,280 words of faith, sharing scriptures, and in my head, I 245 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,320 just knew you would collaborate with this person. 246 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,520 You will collaborate with the person so like you talking 247 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,400 about. Faith, like it just gives me 248 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,880 smiles, you know, on my face, on my face rather, because you 249 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,880 aligned with purpose, right? And you also like, let your 250 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,240 faith take the driver's seat. And that is something that we 251 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,760 very much aligned with. So it's, it's interesting how 252 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,200 three people who grew up in three different parts of the 253 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,360 world, you know, found faith in different ways. 254 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,560 And aligned on one call. Tell me, tell me God does not 255 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,040 exist. Like only a fool say God does 256 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,440 not exist, right? I need to hear your stories. 257 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,000 Don't worry, you need to pay us. But there's something, there's 258 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,560 something, there's something that Anna posted on Instagram 259 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,720 that has been leaving rent. Free in my head, Ana said in 260 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:17,200 that post. Marketing generates awareness or 261 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,120 PR generates interest. My OK, OK. 262 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,880 What would you want, awareness or interest? 263 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,800 I think I want interest, right? So it's amazing that with the 264 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,440 work that you do, but like, you know, I'm. 265 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,680 I'm, I was actually very curious about your view from Canada to 266 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,240 Japan. You know, when I met you first 267 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,120 met you, you were in the concrete jungles of Vancouver. 268 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,920 And now I think you are in on the other side of the world, you 269 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,760 know, in Osaka. I, I hope that's another 270 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,520 concrete jungle anyways, but very big shout out to Japan. 271 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,520 I have this Japanese set. Last you said to me yesterday I 272 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,640 deliberately had to wear it because, you know, I was 273 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880 speaking to somebody in. Japan, but unfortunately you're 274 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,680 not in Kyoto. What inspired that bold? 275 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,160 Move from Canada, you know, to Japan with your family. 276 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,200 I feel like it's a very, very quantum leap. 277 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,280 It's a big leap. I remember coming from Nigeria. 278 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,600 To the UKA couple of years ago. And in my head was you get in my 279 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,480 head. Is you're making a leap, you're 280 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,560 making it feels like a gamble, and the gamble has to pay off. 281 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320 You have to become a better person by making this move, 282 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,240 right? So, but for you, I want to hear 283 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,560 your own migration story. Yeah, absolutely. 284 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,360 I mean, for a big move like this, it's completely, you know, 285 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680 may sound crazy as well, but moving from Canada to Japan 286 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,000 wasn't a strategic move. It's more of an obedience move 287 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,400 and making sure that we were postured right with God before 288 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,480 he placed these these strong senses in our hearts. 289 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,240 And I'm to be honest, I it was more on my husbands heart as 290 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,040 well. I just follow him even though it 291 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,800 doesn't make sense on paper. That's when I learned faith 292 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,040 isn't just about comfort, it's about calling. 293 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,599 And what does Japan have to offer? 294 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:19,000 So it's became a place where it's it's obedience meets 295 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,599 spiritual growth as well. So we are just just finding ways 296 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,079 to develop ourselves and just removing ourselves from our 297 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,040 comfort zone in Canada. And yeah, now here we are. 298 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,640 Basically the substance of things hoped for, the evidence 299 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,880 of things not seen, Hebrew elevens, Hebrew Chapter 11 verse 300 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,600 one. And of course it goes further 301 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,360 down and says Ibrahim Hafi, and it has counted unto him unto 302 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,720 righteous past. It is impossible to please God 303 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,600 without faith. So you had that divine 304 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,840 confirmation, but then was there like any specific moment during 305 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:04,160 that relocation when you felt like, aha, we have that divine 306 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,080 confirmation or that sense of this is what I am meant to be 307 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,920 doing? Like at what point did you feel 308 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,320 that way? You know, when we first landed 309 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,720 in Japan, there was this quiet moments. 310 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,960 It was of course Japan is you know it's busy over stimulating 311 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,480 at times. However, that quiet moment, 312 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,600 there was No Fear, no doubt sense of peace, if I may, and it 313 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,040 was my confirmation. And although we didn't even 314 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,320 we're not able to read some of the signs, understand the 315 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,600 language, it's, it's not like God's going to give us a big 316 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,840 loud sign. Sometimes his confirmation comes 317 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,080 from stillness and that deep knowing that you're exactly 318 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,160 where you're meant to be. That's what is my foundation. 319 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,920 It's that faith. I know that you guys, you guys 320 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,320 studied for about two years, you know, suddenly the language, 321 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960 suddenly the culture. But I was always going to 322 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,720 giggle, right? You talked about not been able 323 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,000 to read the signs because it reminds me of when I went to 324 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,400 Lithuania. I was in Lithuania for a whole. 325 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,720 Week and then when I'm going out, Google Mouse is my best 326 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,040 friend. And then I look at the signposts 327 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,320 and I like, all of a sudden I'm an illiterate, I cannot read the 328 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,160 signs. Yeah. 329 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,800 You know what The funny thing is? 330 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,080 Even though we can read characters if we put it 331 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,680 together, we don't know the word like, OK, yeah. 332 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,280 Like. You know The funny thing? 333 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,000 There was this time I I took an Uber to Salt Rare in Lithuania 334 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,200 and I don't know. It's like it was like I 335 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,000 literally got lost. Some words are like similar or 336 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,520 like synonyms. So I think I went to the wrong 337 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,520 place. I'm like, oh. 338 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,400 I want to go to this other place and then I had to speak to the 339 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,840 Google translator. Then the Google translator 340 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,760 speaks to the driver, Then the driver speaks into the Google 341 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240 translator. Google translator speaks to me. 342 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,640 The soft, that's how you got to do it. 343 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,720 That's how you got to do. It never been frustrated in 344 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,200 life. Oh. 345 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,320 Man. You should try the Google 346 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,080 translator thing. It's crazy and you know, a lot 347 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,320 of them don't. Speak when I say broken English, 348 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,840 so the English. Is like copy and paste with 349 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,720 their local language. And it's, it's just a mix and 350 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,160 match. It's it's crazy. 351 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:30,040 And you know when you go. To buy something and then 352 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,040 they're telling you things in English and the language. 353 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:34,720 But like, how are you guys coping? 354 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,800 Thank you for bringing up the science thing. 355 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,400 Yeah, well, through it all, like, you know, it is the 356 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,080 testing of faith and strengthening, right? 357 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,720 So although everything may seem overwhelming at first, it was 358 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,920 surprisingly smooth because the more you look and you know, 359 00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,760 it's, it's funny how God leads you. 360 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,680 I, I, I didn't feel overwhelmed at all when we first landed. 361 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,680 It was just like, OK, here it is. 362 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,480 This is where we got to go. This is the bus. 363 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,760 Like at least there was some, there's English as well on top 364 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,200 of all the, the Japanese characters, right? 365 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,760 So it was pretty straightforward. 366 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,240 I was surprised actually how easy it was to find our way 367 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,800 around. English or top of the Welsh 368 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,880 characters. I think now you're reminding me 369 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,080 of Wales. When I went to Wales, I I went. 370 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,440 With my South African friend. And then she was like, oh, I 371 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,880 want an authentic Welsh experience. 372 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,800 I was like, are you really sure you know what you're saying? 373 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,280 She said oh I want an authentic Welsh experience and. 374 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,160 Then we went. To the Wales Millennium Center, 375 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,800 you know. All of. 376 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,320 The signposts in Wales, right? You see English and Welsh, 377 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,800 English and Welsh, and then when we got to the Wales Millennium 378 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,280 Center, there's this very big, I think it's like a, it's like a 379 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,240 stadium, it's like an Event Center and everything was just 380 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,680 written in. Welsh And then we couldn't read 381 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,680 anything. We couldn't read Jack. 382 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,440 And then my friend was like, oh I can't read this thing. 383 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,560 And then I came from behind. I said now that is the authentic 384 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,880 Welsh experience. So you tell me, what has been 385 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,760 your authentic Japanese experience? 386 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Oh man, Are you ready for this? I am ready to rumble. 387 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,480 I am ready. Noella is not ready. 388 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,600 I'm ready. Noella needs some Nutella. 389 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,840 Noella needs some Nutella to get ready. 390 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,120 Well, I, I, I don't know if this is authentic, but we had chicken 391 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:46,400 sashimi a couple of times. She was not ready. 392 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,480 All right. I was not ready. 393 00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:55,520 I said it. I. 394 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,880 Said it. Anna tried. 395 00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:58,520 Anna tried. You're my witness. 396 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:04,880 Get this woman to give me $1000. Oh my gosh, chicken sashimi. 397 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,600 It's crazy. Like raw chicken? 398 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,960 See anybody that knows? Me never in my life. 399 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,440 Anybody that anybody that knows me knows, I don't like sushi. 400 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,480 I don't like sushi. You can. 401 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,920 I love sushi. I don't like sushi. 402 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,640 You can arrest me all you want. I do not like sushi. 403 00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:27,480 How was it? It was. 404 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,320 It was. It's better than you think. 405 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,000 Honestly, it's better than you think. 406 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,160 Really. Yeah, it's like. 407 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,320 Crazy to me that is. So I need to look that up 408 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,600 because I do love sushi. I love raw fish, I love ahi 409 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,000 tuna, you know, basically everything. 410 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,920 But for some reason, chicken sashimi freaks me out. 411 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,160 Freaks. I've got freaks. 412 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:54,320 Oh yeah. And I think all of those fishes 413 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,800 and stuff like I've tried Japanese food like I've. 414 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,360 I worked at KPMG in the UK, so it's an international, you know 415 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,960 what I say, community, right? So it's like the headquarters of 416 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,320 KPMG, right? So we used to have this 417 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,800 international canteen and on some days this Japanese food 418 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,920 day, I think. Have you tried the ma, the 419 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,800 malbons? Is it the malbons? 420 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,360 There's something they call malbons, and then there are like 421 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:26,000 some round stuff that are white. Then the tofu as well. 422 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,320 You tried. You tried a tofu. 423 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,440 Like, no disrespect to Japanese people. 424 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,160 I love Japanese people. But Japanese food, I'm sorry. 425 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,400 I don't like much of the food. So I have tried a wide array of 426 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,280 Japanese food. But personally, I don't like it. 427 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,480 But I don't like to be disrespectful to people and 428 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,640 people's cultures. There are some of them that, 429 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,320 yeah, are tasty, but most of them, right. 430 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,880 So I guess if I was the one that got told to go to Japan, I think 431 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,560 I would be crying at the beginning. 432 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,880 Of the instructions. I'll eat anything. 433 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,880 I'm here for the food. Yeah, here for the food wing. 434 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Wow. So what's? 435 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,800 Your best food right now from Japan. 436 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,440 The best food. Yeah, that you strike. 437 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,360 I would say anything chicken or beef. 438 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,120 That's my go to. I love sushi as well, but I'm 439 00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:20,320 not a big fan of tuna to be honest. 440 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,000 I like the chicken sashimi better than this tuna sashimi. 441 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,120 Really. Yeah. 442 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,840 That that's the thing where people stuff pallet. 443 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,600 Maybe I should try it then maybe? 444 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,480 Maybe you should. Try it. 445 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,560 I don't like sushi, I don't like tuna, I don't like Melbourne's. 446 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,920 I guess I'll be very, very staffed when I and I like. 447 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,120 Spicy food, so a lot of Japanese. 448 00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:47,240 Food are not spicy. No, you can get you can get 449 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,640 delicious ramen udon, you can get yakitori. 450 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,040 That's that's what I like. That's the one at the ramen. 451 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,560 Yeah, I like the ramen. At least. 452 00:25:55,360 --> 00:26:01,040 You get the Wagyu, you know all the short ribs, the beef short 453 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,280 ribs. Yeah, the short ribs are nice, 454 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,440 especially when you spice it up. Really. 455 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 Yeah. Now you're talking about food 456 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,080 that I like. Why would? 457 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,560 Why did you start? With what I don't like. 458 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,840 You ask? OK, I'll hand you over to Doela. 459 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,320 So Anna, when we're talking about these things like 460 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,560 spirituality and faith and trusting God, trusting the 461 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,120 ultimate creator of the universe, you know, very casual 462 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,080 subjects that we're talking about. 463 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,680 I know that you just moved to a new country and you talk about 464 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:41,600 the peace of God that came over you and understanding that that 465 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,840 was a really good sense of divine confirmation. 466 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,760 Have you had any moments yet? I know you're still very new to 467 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,280 your new surroundings, but have any moments maybe either before 468 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,880 or during or so far in Japan where you've been tested or you 469 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,960 feel like you've had to go through a point of strengthening 470 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,920 maybe to get to the point where you're comfortable with moving, 471 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:07,480 maybe something you've experienced after? 472 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,760 Tell me a little bit about that. Yeah. 473 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,080 So of course we're looking for a place to settle down in, right. 474 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,480 And the biggest uncertainty is where are we going to live while 475 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,960 we are looking for a house, you know, a home. 476 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,600 So that was that was the uncertainty. 477 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,400 And also adjusting to the time, like waking up at 1:00 AM or 478 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,560 waking up at 3:00 AM to continue to serve the people in the on 479 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,080 the West, right. And, and just be sure that, you 480 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,760 know, we stay diligent and not fall into bad habits, you know, 481 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,560 oversleeping, you know, going out late, these things you can't 482 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,960 do if you want to stay on top of what you're here to do, right? 483 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,640 And just, you know, whenever life feels uncertain, I just go 484 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,440 back to prayer and journaling. And you know, this is one verse. 485 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,840 Proverbs 16 three, commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he 486 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,120 will establish your plans right. That verse keeps me grounded. 487 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:09,120 And because I know as long as my work is surrounded or 488 00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:12,800 surrendered, my steps are are secured in a sense. 489 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:20,040 So when you're talking about how I think finding a place to live 490 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,880 when you're moving to a new place is obviously a huge, can 491 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,560 be a huge hurdle for a lot of people. 492 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,160 Maybe just for our audience. Do you want to walk through a 493 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,280 little bit how you were able to secure that place? 494 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,320 Is it something that maybe your husband found somebody or did 495 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,680 you have to reach out and network with anybody or you 496 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,320 know, just for anyone who is trying to go abroad in their 497 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,680 business or follow those types of steps making larger moves? 498 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,640 How did you kind of secure that or how did it come through for 499 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,320 you I guess is my question. Yeah. 500 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,840 You know what, We don't have a secure place yet. 501 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,520 That's a thing, right? So we're staying at different 502 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,360 places and getting to know people. 503 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,880 However, we do have connections. We have been making connections 504 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,600 over the past few years just to just to see what's available. 505 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,960 Of course, we understand that when we get here, those places 506 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,240 may not be available any longer. And my husband and I are always 507 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,800 saying, hey, Oh no, somebody bought that place that we really 508 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,400 wanted. Seemed great. 509 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,400 However, we always go back, you know, God probably has a better 510 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,800 place for us anyway. So we're just moving along. 511 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,880 We do have a friend who's a realtor here, thank God to help 512 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,600 out with the next steps when the right place to show up. 513 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,760 So we're looking, we're projecting in the next few 514 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,680 months here to close on a place. And there's a great, there's, 515 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,240 there's a lot of great platforms online nowadays that, that help 516 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,160 connect Realtors and map out the availability of homes that are 517 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,520 on the market in Japan. So one place that my, my 518 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,480 husband's been using is Akia Hub and they, they integrate AI as 519 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,920 well to help you with searches and, and pricing and narrowing 520 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,120 down the locations and even connecting you with Realtors. 521 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,840 So I recommend checking that out. 522 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,840 Awesome, So I just. Want to come to Japan? 523 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,320 Yes, when we're ready to go straight to Japan. 524 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,040 I do just want to touch on one thing that you mentioned is that 525 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,800 when you well, actually two things because they do go hand 526 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,400 in hand about your faith that in Scripture and through your 527 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,200 faith, you practice, you understand and practice that you 528 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,120 are saying what you want, essentially saying this is, you 529 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,040 know, the desires of my heart and then allowing the steps to 530 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,920 be planned for you outside of you. 531 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,480 So you are not connecting yourself with the how things are 532 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,920 going to happen. You're just kind of assuming 533 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,120 knowing that it's going to work out. 534 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,960 And then the other thing that you're kind of touching on is 535 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:06,200 that if you plan or think that something could be where you're 536 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,920 going to stay or this could be the method that's going to work 537 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,640 for you when it releases or no longer becomes available for 538 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,840 you, you have a moment where you're understanding, I'm either 539 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,360 going to get something similar to what I'm asking for, or I'm 540 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,760 actually going to get something better. 541 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,040 So I think that's like such an important mindset to connect 542 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,800 with faith. You know, just giving those 543 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,520 connections for our listeners to really understand that if 544 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,160 they're building a faith-based business or if they're trying to 545 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,480 root their faith through their business practices, that your 546 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:50,800 goals or your visions or your purpose, that when you connect 547 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,320 it with God, you're always going to get that desire of your heart 548 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,360 or better because we don't understand or understand the how 549 00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,760 of something's going to come through. 550 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,760 So when it does come through, when your house does come, I 551 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,800 100% believe that it's going to be what you envision or better 552 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,120 kind of building on that. Obviously, there are times of 553 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:19,240 uncertainty that you face. And from so far, and what I've 554 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,280 heard is that you use a lot of scripture and different types of 555 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,320 inner dialogue and you mentioned proverbs. 556 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,560 Do you use different types of in our dialogue or is it just 557 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,440 always kind of one or two go to scriptures? 558 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,560 I know you mentioned one, but is there anything else that you 559 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,800 wanted wanted to touch on? Well, there's so many because 560 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,200 man, the Bible is living word of God. 561 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,240 And if I show you my my Bible study Bible look, check out all 562 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,040 these words. Fully loaded. 563 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,080 I just can't choose one. I'm not even joking. 564 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,880 And it's crazy because whenever I pray I'm like OK God lead me 565 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,680 and guide me today I just open it up. 566 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,360 Could be any random page but it speaks directly to me. 567 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,160 And it's not just that I will open my phone, whatever message 568 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,880 it is, word of the day vocabulary app, it will confirm 569 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,440 it. I'm like, what is you know, it's 570 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,720 just I don't know how to explain it. 571 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,080 And I prayed to many gods growing up throughout my entire 572 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,920 life. No God has answered and answered 573 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,720 different ways. He uses different people. 574 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,320 He uses music, he uses memes. I don't know what to tell you. 575 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,080 It's. Yeah, it's incredible. 576 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,160 Incredible for sure. I would say that. 577 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,600 I think I have AI have a scripture. 578 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,920 I have a scripture for Anna. Sorry to interrupt, right? 579 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,280 You say you have many scriptures, but then it's 580 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,960 actually just aligns Joshua chapter one, verse 8. 581 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,080 This book of the Lord shall not depart from thy mouth, or thou 582 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,960 shalt meditate during day and night, right? 583 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,400 That you know. According to all that is written 584 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,720 therein. For then thou shalt make thy way 585 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,040 prosperous and thou shalt have good success. 586 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,520 So the, the whole, the whole of the Scripture basically is 587 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,159 rooting for, you know, correctional proof and various 588 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,719 purposes. So I appreciate the fact that 589 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:28,320 you, you appreciate the whole of the word of God that it's, it's, 590 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,199 it's a beautiful thing. You are, yeah. 591 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:34,679 Truly, truly a woman of faith. I I love that. 592 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,840 We are, we are privileged. We are privileged. 593 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,719 To, to, you know, to speak with you, to do business with you, to 594 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,760 have you as a friend of the house. 595 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:44,719 Yeah, we we very much appreciate you. 596 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,520 Absolutely. You know, it reminds me of the 597 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,800 first verse I ever remembered. It's Romans 828. 598 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000 You know, all things work together for good to those I 599 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,320 love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. 600 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,960 And, and every time I'm just like, OK, even something, if 601 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,960 something bad happens to me, if somebody, you know, you know, 602 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,920 there's a shortcoming, you know, somebody backstabs you like, but 603 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,960 in the end, it's leading you on on the right path anyway. 604 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,240 Nothing bad can really happen if you look at it that way, yeah. 605 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,960 And I think that's like really interesting when we're talking 606 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:28,360 about the nature of God and when we're talking about things like 607 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,680 good versus evil and things like that. 608 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,200 And just like the So just to give you a little background, I 609 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,760 actually graduated from a Christian high school. 610 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:45,160 Yeah. And so there's a there's a lot 611 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:50,800 of Bible classes real deep, real deep in here, but just 612 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,880 understanding the nature of God, understanding that all things 613 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,680 are meant for good. So then I guess in my, the way I 614 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,800 translate it now, even outside of outside of, you know, 615 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,360 religion is just that like everything works out for me all 616 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,880 the time. So whether it is perceived as 617 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,520 good or bad or a shortcoming or a delay or anything that 618 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,400 happens, it's because it is always working out for you all 619 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,440 the time. And that's just a confirmation 620 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,040 with that Bible verse as well. And we're going to talk a little 621 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,960 bit about your authority acceleration system that's 622 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,840 helped countless of entrepreneurs stand out. 623 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,360 What has been, I know you mentioned just your mission and 624 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,960 you believe, you know, of allowing people to not 625 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:46,680 necessarily have light shined on them, but illuminating their 626 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,840 inner light and allowing them to be a light. 627 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,640 Is there something you want to touch on about what inspired 628 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,000 that creation and really how it's different from traditional 629 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,360 PR? Yeah, that's a that's a really 630 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,560 good one because it's a system that was formed from deep desire 631 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:10,320 to help people gain clarity in there and build credibility and 632 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,680 consistency. Unlike traditional PR, it 633 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,440 doesn't start with your image because a lot of people are 634 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,120 afraid to put themselves out there because they're they want 635 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,360 to be perfectionist. They're afraid of how people 636 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,680 will perceive them. However, this is starts with 637 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,920 your identity. And when you know who you are 638 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,560 and your why and why you're called to do this, who you're 639 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,240 serving, your visibility becomes an extension of your purpose, 640 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,920 not just a performance. So that's where it all stem 641 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,600 from. Like people put content 642 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:46,960 nowadays, it's like, what's the purpose behind that and what 643 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,280 kind of reputation are you building? 644 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,520 Who do you want to be known as when, when you're not in the 645 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,520 room, Right? So that's the authority 646 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,280 acceleration system, just starting with your what's. 647 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:08,680 So it sounds like service is a pillar of not only what you're 648 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,280 doing for your clients as you're serving them, but helping them 649 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:21,760 understand how to serve others. Is there a specific strategy or 650 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,280 like talk about your system a little bit about how you help 651 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,120 your clients tell those stories that go beyond selling and 652 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,440 serving? Is there a process that you walk 653 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,720 them through? Are there modules? 654 00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,440 Are there? Is it a course? 655 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,520 Like how does that relationship form? 656 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,760 And how do you kind of train these people and help them tell 657 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,160 stories? Yeah. 658 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,440 And with what I do, it's not really a course. 659 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:54,560 It's more of like a series of worksheets to really deep dive 660 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,480 deep into why they want to do and how they want to, to help 661 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,400 others. Right, Because public relations, 662 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,520 you're building a relationship with your audience, with your 663 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,840 target audience. And when I help clients tell 664 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,360 their stories, it's not it's never about selling something. 665 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,000 It's more about serving someone. Every brand has a soul and my 666 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,840 job is to help bring that to light. 667 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,840 One of my client had her biggest breakthrough when she shared her 668 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,520 testimony instead of her title. And that's when people truly 669 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,800 connected. That's the power of service 670 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,040 driven storytelling. So breaking everything down 671 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,360 before I even write or send it, send off, you know, send off my 672 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,520 clients files to, to get it written. 673 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,240 I, I really sit down with a person and make sure that we're 674 00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:46,240 aligned. I, I can see their vision, stand 675 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,080 behind their beliefs and their values and properly represent 676 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,080 them in the market, in media space, because now I'm an 677 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,680 extension of who they are to tell their story. 678 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,200 So that's part of the process. And then from there, just a 679 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,880 series of worksheets to really identify, well, pinpoint how 680 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,640 they want to be presented as well. 681 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,200 So it depends on where the person's at, what stage they're 682 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,040 at, you know, what kind of foundation they have online as a 683 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,320 baseline and then working from. There amazing. 684 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,760 Amazing. Honestly, I think that sounds 685 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,280 like obviously a really good strategy. 686 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,240 You kind of have to do a deep dive, peel back any type of 687 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:37,600 performances or masks. And correct me if I'm wrong, but 688 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,280 it sounds like sometimes by the time you get to the brand, maybe 689 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,640 they've been posting for a certain amount of time, Maybe 690 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:49,000 they've created something that could be slightly inauthentic. 691 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,120 And it sounds like you helped peel that back, connect with who 692 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,800 they really are and shine a light on it. 693 00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:00,160 That's really amazing, honestly. And you've you have a incredible 694 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,640 track record. Obviously you've placed clients 695 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,440 on top tier outlets, outlets, excuse me, like Forbes, New York 696 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:14,360 Times. Do you have any unseen habits or 697 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:22,560 skill sets behind that? Man unseen habits behind that 698 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:29,520 it's putting the when you do outreach for anybody, it's 699 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:35,440 always comes back to a place of understanding and that's a habit 700 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,800 that I always have. You know, there's no secret 701 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,320 formula to winning, just just persistence and and making sure 702 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,360 that every win starts with genuine relationships, deep 703 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,360 research and consistency. Because when we when reach out 704 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,600 to publicist your journalist, right? 705 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,080 You got to understand who they're writing for and how do I 706 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,760 make their jobs easier by presenting this client that 707 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,040 could be a potentially a good story for them to to share. 708 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,760 And you know, you don't want to reach out to a Forbes 709 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,240 contributor who you may not have done a lot of research on. 710 00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:11,800 And all he writes about is the automotive space. 711 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,080 And you're presenting somebody in the beauty space that there's 712 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,120 no connection there. It's not going to serve anyone, 713 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,600 right? So it's just just making sure 714 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,520 that you understand, you do your research, and that's your 715 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,200 reputation. It's not about trying to gain 716 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,200 something. It's more about, hey, how can I 717 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,200 help all parties? How do we all win? 718 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,440 Yeah, doing the homework is definitely important, especially 719 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,920 because, you know, we receive so many emails every day. 720 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:49,040 We receive so many messages all day between the average 721 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,200 attention span and the average schedule of these types of 722 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,880 people that we are talking to, reaching out to, and connecting 723 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,360 with. It takes a certain efficiency 724 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,680 and it takes a certain type of understanding that this person 725 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,640 only has. Even the person we're connecting 726 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,320 with only has a certain amount of time and attention to digest 727 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,560 the information we're giving them. 728 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,160 You doing your homework behind the scenes and understanding 729 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,280 their background, who they're talking to, and you know their 730 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,040 needs or their goals. Within the next year or so, 731 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,840 maybe they're starting a new series. 732 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,720 Finding those little tidbits super, super important for sure. 733 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:28,160 So love, love everything you're saying. 734 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,120 Love hearing that. Adam, Ola, do you want to talk 735 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:36,400 about the next couple questions? You talked about emails that 736 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,040 receive every day and I think she she was touching my trauma 737 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,800 points because. I didn't want to bring that up. 738 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:50,960 Exactly why, why are you touching my trauma points in 739 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:56,160 bead bead podcast right, because I I know you're in a PR and. 740 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,680 I think you should be on the same boat as well. 741 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:02,800 You get setting emails. Well, I thought you're done 742 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,920 reading certain emails. You just know this was a waste 743 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:12,120 of four minutes of my life spot What hurt, What hurts me the 744 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,680 most is where people waste my time. 745 00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:17,720 I think the other day I had a call and the person wasted my 746 00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:20,320 time. I think I I cried that day. 747 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,160 I cried. Why? 748 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,680 Because I just want like I just wasted 30 minutes of my life I 749 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,800 cannot account for I cannot account for this like money. 750 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,400 If you lose money, you can make it back. 751 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,080 If you lose effort, you can make it back. 752 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,160 But time you can never get it back, right? 753 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,360 So they got deliver us from from time wasters anyways. 754 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,880 So how? How do you filter the voice from 755 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,440 the noise when it comes to your own profession? 756 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,360 The voice from the noise. I mean, I probably don't get as 757 00:44:54,360 --> 00:45:01,400 many emails like you guys. You know, you can easily tell 758 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,080 how it is when somebody uses an AI generated e-mail system that 759 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,160 automates emails outreaches and they tend to start off the same 760 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,720 way. Hello dear, hi ma'am. 761 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,080 I'm just like, OK, I know where this is going and and most of 762 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,840 the time I open it up and just you know, because I like to 763 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,960 clear out it's like this this thing, right? 764 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,640 I just like to clear out my inbox. 765 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,200 So saying, saying the same thing and most of the time Ioffer the 766 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,960 same service, it's just crazy to me because they're reaching out 767 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,440 to me to offer a service that I already offer. 768 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,800 So I mean, you just tend to pick up the patterns. 769 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,880 Yeah. Teaching on cross feature, Yeah. 770 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,920 I don't know if you're right, but. 771 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,160 We do receive a lot of emails. And then, yeah, you're running 772 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,960 the visas. And, you know, people say, oh, I 773 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,360 want to come on your podcast for free. 774 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,440 Or what do you do? You breathe while leaving. 775 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,280 That's cool. God be with you. 776 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,040 God is the provider of breath. Why do you want to come teach me 777 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,360 breath work? God put breath in me already. 778 00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:03,240 But anyways that that's a that's an inside joke. 779 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,880 So how do you balance the analytical position with 780 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,120 creative intuition when developing? 781 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:16,720 A media strategy. Yeah, balance and data with 782 00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:19,720 discernment. I mean, staying informed with 783 00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:24,160 trends but also listening to what's within you, right? 784 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:28,400 The Holy Spirit and NPR doesn't just is is both strategy and 785 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,480 spirit. It's it's about when you honor 786 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,520 both doors open and data alone can't explain right and nowadays 787 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,560 everything's so fast track. You can use AI as well. 788 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,840 What keeps that human connection right and and you can't just do 789 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,560 it alone as well. So you really have to just make 790 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:52,280 sure that you're, again, it goes back to purpose and intention, 791 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,800 like why are you searching for these things? 792 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,600 What is the data telling you? And you use the sermon to make 793 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,560 the right next move. Well, I, I appreciate what you 794 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,920 said. You know that that fine balance. 795 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,440 And of course, you talked about AI. 796 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:11,160 I am AI, right? My parents use something they 797 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,760 need something. Everybody's don't know. 798 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,320 So they just decoded my name. AI, what a time. 799 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,000 What? A time to be alive. 800 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,680 You know, somebody sent me a message. 801 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,320 I said, wow, I am jealous of your money car. 802 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,240 Like it's it's a really, really cool money car. 803 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,880 But you know, beyond that money car, like, what do you think? 804 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,080 How do you see AI affecting, you know, various industries, 805 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,280 especially your own industry? And what's your advice to 806 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,120 professionals out there? You know, there are a lot of AI 807 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:50,160 enthusiasts and there are also AI, what I say doubters, AI 808 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:56,840 people that are anti AI basically, but get used tanned. 809 00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:01,480 And how do you see AI influencing an impact in the 810 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,640 business environment in the future going forward? 811 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,960 Yeah, you know, it's pretty interesting because AI has just 812 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,760 been a hot topic nowadays. I mean, I'm not opposed of AI 813 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,920 technology can't amplify your reach. 814 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:22,680 It can help with, you know, if you're, if you have if you're 815 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,400 stuck, it can help jog up some creativity, but it cannot 816 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,800 replace your voice. Automation might scale 817 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,040 efficiency, but authenticity scales impact. 818 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,240 And going back to those, you know, being bombarded with 819 00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:41,840 emails, what I mentioned about automation and AI doing the 820 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,200 outreach, you pick up the on those patterns. 821 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:49,280 So I use AI all the time, it helps me organize, outline and 822 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,640 optimize my work. But I never replace it with the 823 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,840 human heart behind the message. So AI as a tool, not the touch. 824 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,080 And if you want to use it the right way, just structure ideas 825 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,960 around it, but let your heart write the story. 826 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,320 I love that I do have an episode on sports class titles. 827 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,800 Humans first, AI next. Yeah, the eye is meant to be on 828 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,560 the system, not the controller. So you have actually coached 829 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:23,200 many founders who here. So people have fear of 830 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,800 projection, people have fear of exposure. 831 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,480 So how do you help them transform fear into free field 832 00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:36,520 feasibility? Yeah, this is a really like, 833 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,600 it's a common theme with amazing brilliant minds that I've met 834 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,160 with So many people fear visibility because they either 835 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,920 fear rejection or being put in the wrong light. 836 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:55,800 But I ask, I always ask like, what if you are not being seen 837 00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,800 right? Who who needs to see you? 838 00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:02,760 What kind of disservice are you doing by not putting yourself 839 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,200 out there? And faith's greatest visibility 840 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,680 strategy there is. Because when it comes to showing 841 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,880 up, even when the outcome isn't guaranteed, you know that 842 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:19,000 somebody out there could be better served when you put 843 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,800 yourself out there. Because there's a lot of people 844 00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:26,160 out there making promises and under delivering, but there's 845 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,280 also a lot of amazing people over delivering, not visible. 846 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,200 Mm hmm well I think I'm going to hand over to my Co host. 847 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,240 Before I do that I'm going to beat a portion of this creature 848 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:43,920 that is Matthew chapter 5 verses 14 to 16. 849 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,160 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on the hill 850 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,720 cannot be hid neither to men. Light a candle under a bushel or 851 00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:57,640 on a Candlestick, and giveth light unto all that are in the 852 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,480 house. Let your light so shine before 853 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,240 men, that they may see your good words, and vilify your Father, 854 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,400 which is in heaven. Amen. 855 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,840 Amen. I just love what you said about 856 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:18,320 when we're using AI to let your heart tell the story as like a 857 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,000 business owner or you know, an artist, anybody. 858 00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:28,240 We are made-up of the stories we tell ourselves and AI can be, 859 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:32,160 we're talking about this with Ted Santos, how these AI systems 860 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:36,040 kind of, if we are in charge of our own thoughts or aren't in 861 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,480 charge of our own story, to give a parallel over to this 862 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,840 conversation, they can tell us who we are. 863 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:47,960 So allowing our hearts to tell us what our brand is allowing to 864 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:53,960 tell us the way that we want to shine is, you know, just 865 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,600 essential. So again, just love being able 866 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,600 to have this connection between business and faith. 867 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,840 I think it's super, super important. 868 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:08,080 Another thing that you've worked on, Anna, is leading Eng to to 869 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,720 help e-commerce brands scale exponentially. 870 00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:16,800 What parallels have you seen between scaling your own 871 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,840 business with scaling personal influence? 872 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:24,760 What are, you know, like dislikes, similarities, 873 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,920 differences, the whole thing? Yeah. 874 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:33,240 So with that it's, it was more on the marketing side scaling a 875 00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,800 business it's it requires systems. 876 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:44,840 So you fall to the quality of your systems or you yet. 877 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:50,600 And if you have proper systems and processes in place, it's 878 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,080 incredible how much faster you will grow. 879 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:57,720 And it has to be rooted and strong culture as well. 880 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,760 It's not about growing fast, it's about growing 881 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,120 strategically. Consistency builds credibility 882 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,920 as well. So it ties in with PR and that's 883 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:11,240 how high how I evolved into PR. But with marketing, there's a 884 00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:14,920 lot of behind the scenes systems that needs to be in place, such 885 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,840 as the messaging has to be aligned, how your brand shows 886 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,440 up. If you're getting a lot of 887 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,680 traffic, there's not a lot. However, there's no conversions. 888 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,760 Where is the disconnect? And then if somebody does 889 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,400 convert but doesn't close on a call, where's the disconnect 890 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,480 there? Is it with the sales team? 891 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,840 Is it with the marketing team? Is it with the website? 892 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:42,640 So is it with the credibility? And I mean, all these things 893 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,840 work together, but having the systems in place to identify the 894 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,840 gaps really helps. And and then from there you 895 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:55,280 start scaling from there. You don't want to, you know, a 896 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,080 million traffic and no conversions. 897 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,040 Lots, lots of Nuggets there as AI would say. 898 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,400 He loves to say the word Nuggets that you're breaking. 899 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,480 Nuggets just like chicken Nuggets. 900 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,120 I don't try with the Nuggets. Every time you say that, my when 901 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,400 I when my daughter was a baby, I would call her my little chicken 902 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,480 nugget. So every time you say that, I 903 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,480 just think of like a little baby. 904 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,840 But yeah, as someone with a background in marketing and 905 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,960 sales, I definitely understand what you're saying is it's 906 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,160 really systems based. And I think it's really, I think 907 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:40,480 it serves your pivot over to PR obviously to have that type of 908 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,480 background and door to door sales. 909 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:48,600 That sounds so crazy to me and and marketing as well. 910 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,920 So you understand collectively the systems that it takes. 911 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,200 So it sounds like you're just adding, you know, new wisdom and 912 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,520 new expertise on as your career moves. 913 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,280 So that's amazing to hear to hear your story because we don't 914 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,240 really know which way we're going to go. 915 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,840 You know, like day one, you probably didn't know you're 916 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:13,360 going to pivot to PR, But that's how that's why journeys are 917 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,480 journeys. If we knew what the end of, if 918 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,600 we just skipped to the end of the movie, then we would miss 919 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:28,600 everything in between, pivoting kind of over to the flow and 920 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,920 focus that you work with. Just being a life obviously 921 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:40,560 takes dedication, faith, Lovejoy, peace, you know, being 922 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,120 somebody who cultivates that for an entire home, with or without 923 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,480 children and credit. And then, you know, an 924 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,560 incredible role instilled by God. 925 00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,320 So what tools or systems do you use? 926 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,920 Both, I guess, as a founder that works in business and as a wife 927 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,520 in your household. There's actually a lot of 928 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:05,280 conversations that I've watched with couples who also work in 929 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,880 business. And a lot of people say even Ted 930 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,720 Santos, who we were just talking to, he has an entire book on 931 00:56:10,720 --> 00:56:14,240 this. Just because relationships 932 00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:18,560 mirror through your business. So what do you specifically use? 933 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,760 You have any tools or systems that work both in your marriage 934 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,880 and and your business? Yes, tools. 935 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,880 You know what just touch upon the mother thing. 936 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,760 I I dream about being a mother all the time. 937 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,760 Like I dream about that I have kids crazy. 938 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:36,920 That's exciting. Yes. 939 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,120 So I'm excited. OK. 940 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,360 So was that confirmation? I guess. 941 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:42,920 So. I guess so. 942 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,280 Sometimes I would cry when I wake up. 943 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,640 I'm like, Dang, that was a adorable sun. 944 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,200 I, I wish it was real. But yeah, with, with that said 945 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,440 systems, tools, you know, having a rhythm in place and making 946 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,720 sure that you start your day off planning ahead the night before 947 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:03,240 that no matter what the heck your morning routine is, I find 948 00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:06,320 that what sets you up for success is what you do the night 949 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,600 before and you already ran through the next day. 950 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,480 And and that's, that's the system that we have in place, 951 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,000 tools. I like to use Excel to map out 952 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,200 everything, you know, budget everything. 953 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:25,640 But yeah, it is pretty simple. Just keeping it simple, yeah? 954 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:29,400 There's always planning ahead. Yeah, That way when you wake up, 955 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,320 it brings a little more peace. As soon as you wake up, at least 956 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,560 you even if you're still sleepy and groggy or anything like 957 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,320 that, you have some sort of direction. 958 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,600 Like setting up your clothes, having a water bottle ready 959 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,400 beside your protein and you just, you know, plop it in or 960 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,320 whatever. OK. 961 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,920 Just or even writing it out because now you visually 962 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,360 promising yourself, OK, that's why I'm going to do the next day 963 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,800 and it helps just reduces. OK, what am I doing today? 964 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,800 That's awesome. That's awesome. 965 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,640 The two water bottle people talking. 966 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,160 I've never been able. To keep a water bottle all my 967 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,840 life. Oh my gosh. 968 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,840 It comes with me everywhere. It's like my hand, you know, 969 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:14,280 like. Yes, I love successful. 970 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,280 I love it is. Successful in that regard. 971 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,400 Anytime I try to keep a water bottle I'll probably misplace it 972 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:21,520 somewhere. So I just gave up. 973 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,840 Try again, try, try again. Hydrate. 974 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:31,640 So you don't hydrate as I say. I I I use I use my mugs. 975 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,800 So we have obviously on this podcast, we talk about AIA lot 976 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:42,040 and we've talked about it a bit so far with the systems that you 977 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,080 use. I feel like we've really 978 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,720 answered a lot of this question. But just out of curiosity, was 979 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,840 there any other tidbits or anything else that you want to 980 00:58:53,840 --> 00:59:01,000 say about specifically AI and PR in general, how you integrate 981 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,000 tech while you work? I know you mentioned how you use 982 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,800 it to organize and plan and things like that. 983 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:13,400 Or possibly, is there any way that you use AI to help you stay 984 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:19,760 anchored in your faith at all? Yeah, so The thing is, I, I'm 985 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,920 not going to lie, it's like I love using AI. 986 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,840 It does help and it reduces time exponentially, even in 987 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,080 automations, even at an outreach. 988 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,440 However, I never rely on it at the at the end of the day to 989 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,040 make the connection. So whatever it spits out at me, 990 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,960 it can give me ideas, it can give me motivation. 991 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,920 OK, We're like maybe just different ways of wording. 992 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,360 I always go back and read it out loud and say, hey, you know 993 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,240 what? Do I say things this way? 994 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:53,560 Or if I'm doing an outreach, I always go back rewrite it in how 995 00:59:53,560 --> 01:00:00,400 I would say it as well, although it gives you different, let's 996 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,800 just say ways of wording. I always go back and and say, 997 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,040 well, put your human touch into it. 998 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,680 It never replaces the messenger I would say. 999 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,760 And I have a question for you are. 1000 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,080 You are you friends with Noella or like? 1001 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,120 Did you guys, did you guys go to the? 1002 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,960 Same school. Did you guys go to the same 1003 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,560 school? Because that's the same exact 1004 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,320 things that she says. How would you say no? 1005 01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,040 No, I don't want it to be AI. I want to be human. 1006 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:29,440 I wanted to process. Yes. 1007 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:35,800 Oh like don't worry, I have AI. People will see through it. 1008 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:37,760 Don't. Worry. 1009 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,920 I. AI at the end of the message I 1010 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,080 always. Put AI. 1011 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,920 So that's my usual. So take it or take it. 1012 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:51,160 So basically, you know. Anna is a very busy woman. 1013 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:55,080 Before she she runs away, let us run her through the big fire 1014 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,280 round. Now you're closer to the Pacific 1015 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,920 round. Of fire and we are going to take 1016 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:03,440 you to the big fire round we have just one question for you 1017 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,680 are. You ready to rumble so? 1018 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,880 You skipped a whole page. Are you ready to rumble? 1019 01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,880 Yes, Sir. Yeah. 1020 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,640 So before you run, you can run, but you cannot. 1021 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,520 Hide so they see right So. The very. 1022 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:22,000 First question, what is 1 Bible verse or spiritual quote that 1023 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,320 keeps you anchored? Oh man, we we went through quite 1024 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,560 a few today. This one actually reminds me of 1025 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,600 my friend. She sends me God first every 1026 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,120 morning. She's from Texas and we do Bible 1027 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,400 study from different countries. Always this reverse. 1028 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:41,240 She she, she mentioned that it was her favorite as well and it 1029 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:47,000 stuck with me all these years. It's Jeremiah 2911 or I know the 1030 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,680 plans I have for you, declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you 1031 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,400 and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 1032 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,560 I love that. I think I know it in King James 1033 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,400 version. My head is configured in King 1034 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,040 James. Though Oh yeah, mine is King 1035 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,520 James too, but I just wanted to pull it up for yeah. 1036 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,200 For my pleasure, my favorite scripture is Philippians chapter 1037 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,520 4 verse 13. I can do all things through 1038 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,760 process transfers me. Yeah. 1039 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:18,720 Noella. All right, what is your morning 1040 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:23,200 ritual in one word? Surrender. 1041 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,520 I give myself away so you can use me. 1042 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:31,760 I need God every day. I'm not. 1043 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,400 I'm not perfect at all. Absolutely don't tell me the 1044 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,120 Bible. I know the Bible. 1045 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,920 Is. Your real answer to this 1046 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,720 question. So tell me the second best, the 1047 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,360 second best, next book. So what is the book? 1048 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,040 What is the book that has shifted your mindset forever? 1049 01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,240 How did you know that was what I prepared? 1050 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:56,800 For how did I know? Because I am AI. 1051 01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:01,600 I am AI, OK? I have the human AI actually. 1052 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:07,600 I would say the next best book that is flagged out like this. 1053 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,360 It's 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. 1054 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,680 Stephen, Stephen. Covey, Stephen. 1055 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,000 What's his name? And then Stephen something. 1056 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:16,840 Yeah. Yeah. 1057 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,800 Stephen Covey. OK, yeah. 1058 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,400 Noella. Yeah, over to you. 1059 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:27,160 So faith, family, or freedom, which one drives your decisions 1060 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:32,200 the most right now? Always faith, because everything 1061 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,800 else follows. Always. 1062 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:35,960 And every time I put something else first. 1063 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,240 It's just like, you know, you're in a position where face is all 1064 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,440 you have to turn to. No, I agree. 1065 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,840 Yeah. Totally agree. 1066 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,400 Totally agree. OK, I guess question. 1067 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,640 The next question is for me, and it was designed by God because 1068 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:56,480 I'll be very curious about this one. 1069 01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,520 So finish this sentence. God positioned me in Japan 1070 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:05,640 because. He needed to show me that 1071 01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,640 obedience is the bridge to overflow. 1072 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,560 Obedience is better than sacrifice. 1073 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,360 Yeah, that's only in the Bible. I can't remember the exact verse 1074 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,000 right now. Wow. 1075 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,280 Love and respect to you. We love you. 1076 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,880 We appreciate you. You. 1077 01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,360 You are really, really up on our bookshelf. 1078 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,160 Of course, your personal faith and you. 1079 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,400 I think you went to the same school with Noella, but you 1080 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,240 never met her in classes. Maybe you guys used to skip? 1081 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:42,920 Classes, Noella.
