Hi, it's Robin Sharma and I'm just super excited to share something so special. It's called Saint and Hero and it's my new apparel company. The primary focus of it is to help underserved children rise to legendary in their own unique way. Humanitarian really means, if you look it up in the dictionary, someone who's concerned about the welfare of the world. And more than ever before, the world needs more heroes. And I'm encouraging youth as well as you not to wait for more of them, but you become one of them. So Saint and hero came to me in terms of the origin story while I was walking through Rome on a sunny day, and in the morning I just read the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius was a famed Roman emperor and he wrote a line in the Meditations.
About the importance of understanding your nature. He talked about the noble virtues of being a Roman. And that really is the saint part of Saint and Hero. We all have a saint within us. We all want to be noble. We all want to be honest. We all want to have integrity and fidelity towards our highest ideals. And yet at the same time, we all have a hero within us. We all have that Roman warrior. We all want to do epic things in the world for ourselves and our loved ones and our lifestyle and our community. And so I think the highest functioning woman and man and child on the planet is part saint and part hero. And that's why I've started this epic apparel company that I couldn't be more excited about. I just want to encourage you to explore what we have on this website and please understand, a large portion of everything that you buy will help an underserved child live their finest life. Thanks so much and I wish you all green lights and remember, in your own life, be part saint and be part hero.
