Well, these are certainly interesting times, aren't they? My name is Eric Edmeads. I'm the host of your show and I'm the founder of WildFit. I created this show because, frankly, I was getting annoyed and frustrated and confused at the array of conflicting information and advice I was seeing out there in the world and that I'd spotted a gaping hole in all of the advice. The government, government agencies, even the CDC were failing to give us one of the most important pieces of advice. They should have been sure. They were telling us to pay attention to social distancing and quarantine and washing our hands thoroughly and properly. And all those things are incredibly important. But they left out how to protect your last line of defense, your immune system, your health. They didn't talk to us about eating the right foods and making sure we were hydrated and getting fresh air and getting sunlight. They didn't talk to us about one of the things that has the biggest impact on your ability to get through this crisis in the healthiest possible way. And so I recorded a video about your last line of defense, your immune system. That video went on to get half a million plus views out there. And I started getting the letters from people. First of all, letters of thanks, letters of gratitude and appreciation. And then the questions started coming in. What do I do now? How do I parent? How do I manage my relationship cooped up in this house? What do I do about my business? How do I manage my finances at this point? And so I decided to create this show so I could share with you the very best resources I have. And I'm going to interview some of the very best people in the world to get you the inspiration and empowerment you need to cope with, survive and thrive through these times. For example, parenting is an incredibly challenging time right now. If you have children at home. Here's something I want you to think about. Children that grew up during the Great Depression, they were scarred, many of them, for life. They would retire many years later with millions and millions of dollars and then die with those same millions of dollars, having never seen the world, having never lived in a nice house because their rules about money were messed up by the experience they went through. This is an incredibly important time as a parent. And so I've arranged interviews with Dr. Shefali and Shelley Lefkoe to talk to us about how to parent during a crisis. Or wait a minute, what about our relationships? Well, I've lined up Bruce, music from Love at First Fight, and John Gray, who wrote Men Are from Mars and women are from Venus to talk to us about how to navigate our relationships. Some people, of course, had already come to the end of the relationships, and now they're having to manage the divorce through this circumstance. And so I've got Sara Davidson coming to talk to us about how to manage our life post divorce during this crisis. What about money? Are you thinking about money right now? I think you should be. And so I've organized Phil Towne of Rule 1 investing to come and share with us some really important distinctions about the way money works during times like this. And I will tell you that about four weeks ago, Phil Towne recorded a video on YouTube talking about the coming market crash. Now, clearly he didn't know about these circumstances, but he's been preparing for this opportunity for a long time, and he's the right one to guide us through what's coming next. The bottom line is I am lining up the very best people to provide you with the best inspiration, empowerment to make sure that we get through this and come out on the other side reinvented and ready for whatever's next. Please tune in for all the episodes, share them widely, subscribe to the channel and I hope that I get to meet you in person one day when I'm no longer locked up in my. Sam.
