So I'm trying this out. I have Instagram Live going here, and then I have our normal difference makers Live going here. So let me know how the sound quality is on Instagram Live and difference makers. If you see me switching back and forth, it's because I'm trying to make sure that you both get my eye contact. So I thought this would be a really cute subject title for today's Instagram or today's Live, which is. It's the Easter Bunny. And obviously, I'm a little late, but what I wanted, what I wrote out when I was drafting this, was this concept of the gifts. Like, you know, how Easter, the Easter Bunny comes and hides these little gifts, you know, eggs, and the kids find them and they've got little surprises in them, or it's just the aspect of searching for a gift. And I think during this time, one of the things that I really want to spend a little bit of time discussing is finding the silver linings among everything else that's going on. So for me, this time with my daughters is amazing. It's amazing and it's trying, but it's teaching me how to be a better human being. One of the best kids gifts is the fact that. And I'm saying gift, not gif, but one of the best gifts has been when I have a conference call or a zoom call or a video conference call, that the other people are really patient. They're waiting, hey, Peter. So Peter's on Instagram Live. So people are really authentic. They're very vulnerable. They're very patient. They're very willing to kind of show up and allow space for the humanity. So, you know, if my daughter runs in and says, mom, I have to go potty, they give me the 30 seconds to be able to go and do that. And that. That's not something that is really common in our. In my experience previously, you know, people want to have this perfect idea of recording, this perfect idea of the sound quality and all of this kind of stuff. And the reality is, is that I live in the middle of nowhere. And so the chance that my sound quality is anywhere near as if I was in, like a professional sound studio, it's completely and totally different. And so what are put in the comments of what some of the gifts and the silver linings that you found, not just out of the past couple weeks, but as you think about it and as you explore more around this time and the weeks to come, what are some things that you're looking forward to? What are some things that you can bring as gifts to others. What's some value that you can give to your community in this time that they may very be in so much need for. So there's gifts to receive, there's gifts to give and I think that if you sat for just a moment there are a lot of things that could be silver linings and be gifts to both you, your family, your clients, your company and the community around you. And I really want to thank those business owners who have taken this opportunity to figure out how they can use the resources that they have to be assets to the community and to provide to first responders, to teachers to all of that thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for making this world a better place and tell me in the comments some of the gifts that you found and some of the silver linings that you found and some of the silver linings that you're going to share. So from my heart, from my family to yours, stay safe out there and stay sane.
