Hey guys, it's Evan. Today I wanted to share with you one of the ways that I recognize the people in my life. And it doesn't have to cost a lot of money to, to thank people and show them that you care about them. And it's really the thought that counts, and there's a lot of creative things you can do for them. One of my favorite websites that I use is called fiverr.com. It's a funny site. It's basically things that people will do for $5. And a lot of times I'll order things from here that is for the people in my life. If it's for family members, if it's for my staff, if it's for partners that I'm working with. So you can see here, if you go to the homepage, you'll see things like, I will puppet any message you want in a video for $5. So you can have this puppet say something. One of my favorite ones that I've used recently is by some kids called Benny and Millie, and this is them. Basically what they do is they sell jokes for $5, and Millie, the girl here, she is confined to a wheelchair unfortunately, and their house is not wheelchair accessible. And so they are trying to raise $40,000 through Fiverr by selling jokes to people and, uh, and raising money to make the house more wheelchair accessible. So I found out about them and I've been using them recently to thank the people in my life, and it's $5 at a time, but it's a highly Customized message. So I just made another order. They do 6 at a time, up to 6 at a time, and so I ordered 6 more today. And here are the people I'm thanking. So Stephanie and Alex are my sisters. So, uh, what they basically do is they start to say, hey, we're making this video to try to raise money for our house. And this is a joke for Stephanie from her brother Evan who wanted to say thank you for being a great sister, and then they'll tell some kind of brother-related joke. So I'm doing it for Alex, my other sister Hayden, my son. Jane is one of my clients that we had some fun on Twitter, and then Sharon and Tracy were part of my salsa business. And so it's just a great way to thank and recognize the people in your life. All the responses I've gotten so far have been, we love these kids, it's so adorable, thank you so much. And it doesn't take a lot of time, it doesn't cost a lot of money, it's only $5. They put a video on YouTube for you. And just a great way to thank people and do a good thing at the same time. And you know, part of my business is giving back and helping entrepreneurs, and I think part of every business should be to help others and have some kind of responsibility.
