Welcome to the Get Attitude Podcast.

Hi. Hi Glenn. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. And I'M super excited to be here. I love the way that we met in Las Vegas at the convention when we were on the escalator and we just started talking and I was like, wow, who is this person? I mean, just such positive energy. So I'm honored to be here. I love what you're doing and thank you for having me.

Oh, that's fantastic. Now, Tommy, Jason and I were just mentioning you have an incredible set there. Tell us where you're at today and what and what took you there.

Yes, I am in Vancouver, Canada. I live right over the border in Washington. And I'm here at Raimi Film Studios in this incredible studio. And I here to do some videos for some coaching projects that I'm working on. And it worked great for having the setup for the podcast. So he got me all set up with this incredible backdrop, which is called the bento box. And then of course, I've got lighting and camera and a nice microphone. So thanks to Ramey, all is well.

That's great. Well, you're doing good. And I know that you were the founder of Level Up Coaching, and that's been something that you've been doing for years. And I'm also aware that you're transitioning into some new and exciting stuff. So tell me a little bit about what you did with Level Up Coaching, especially on the self belief part, and then talk to me a little bit about what's in your future for 2020 with what great stuff you're going to be bringing to the market.

Sure, sure. I'm also a licensed real estate agent. I have my managing broker's license in Washington State and I've been doing that for 20 years. And over the past five years, I really dove into helping other people build up their businesses or accomplish different things that they were working on. And I thought, I really want to take this further. So I founded Level Up Coaching and I've just had a really great experience with working with people and collaborating and creating that win, win. And now the way things have progressed and I'm sort of in this like, reinvention, transformation. Like what am I really passionate about and how do I really just dive into what makes me super excited? And that's what's coming in 2020. So I've been working diligently, putting the pieces into place and probably by May, if not sooner, you'll have information on my new project, on the whole new.

Curriculum or whatever that might be. And Debbie, if people want follow you, where's the best place to follow you or get in touch with you.

Yeah, I really love LinkedIn. I think LinkedIn is a great platform. I'm on Instagram and Facebook, but I love LinkedIn. I'm working on a redesign of my website, so that'll come soon. But LinkedIn, Debby Byrey is a perfect place to get in touch.

And that's B I E R Y correct. Is that right?

Correct.

All right, cool. So you mentioned that you are kind of in a state of, like, transformation and reintegration. And as you heard in our podcast, we help people bridge the gap from where they are to where they want to be. And the only way to help people understand to get from where they are to where they want to be is to help them recognize really where they are. Why don't you talk to me a little bit about when you were standing at the beginning of the bridge, maybe 20 or 15 or 10 years ago, where were you compared to where you are today? Tell me a little bit about the evolution of you over the past 10 or 20 years. Whatever sounds good to you?

Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, 20 years sounds great. Because that's when I jumped into real estate. And I had been working at health clubs. I've got a bit of a health fitness background and I was selling health club memberships and corporate memberships for people and companies. And I thought, you know, I really want to do something bigger and challenging. And real estate just was a natural fit. I just, somebody was talking about real estate and buying a house and I was like, wow, that sounds fascinating. So I got, I started in real estate and I remember at the moment I started, I thought to myself, I'm either going to swim or swim. It wasn't sink or swim, it was swim or swim. Like, I felt like I had no option. And I really propelled myself into the work and the dedication so that I could be successful because I had made up my mind this is what I was going to do. So I got into real estate 20 years ago and built up a successful career and loved every moment of it. The challenges, the people, the flexibility, marketing. So I'm really grateful that I found real estate as a career. So, yeah, that's cool. 20 years ago, right?

So when you think about, you said, boy, the pressure was on. I was selling memberships and I was going into real estate. That obviously took some self belief. What was it that you felt or what questions did you ask yourself that said I'm bigger than selling health club memberships? Like, what was the conversation with yourself that was going on for you to say, I'm gonna swim or swim?

Yeah, that's a great question. You know, at the time, I was making great money and having a great experience at the club that I was working at, but I wanted to feel more. I wanted to have a challenge. I felt, I think, really it was okay. The sales of the health club memberships feels pretty easy. Been there, done that. And I wanted something bigger. And I was thinking to myself, you know, I want to have a profession. I want to make more money. I want to affect people in a positive way and help them through difficult times, which. Real estate is a challenging time for buyers and sellers as we know. It doesn't always go smoothly. So I wanted something challenging. I think that the challenge. And am I up to the challenge? How can I get out of my comfort zone? And what can I learn? Like, the idea of learning something new, that's always been very important to me. I like to learn new things and be exposed to new things, and what can I do that's different? And so those were the questions that I was asking myself.

Yeah, cool. And then talk to me a little bit about. This is called the Get Attitude podcast. So I'd love to get your take on what does attitude mean to you? Who shaped your attitude? And that probably happened, I'm sure, very young. I'd love to hear that story. So let's talk. And then I guess the third question, and I'll help you through this. If you forget what I've been asking you through your coaching and through your career, what do you see are the biggest attitude pitfalls of people that you've dealt with or people in your life that have maybe turned the wrong way as opposed to. As opposed to climbing the mountain? So, first, what does attitude mean to you? Second, where did you get your attitude? And third, what are some of the biggest mistakes you've seen with attitude?

I love these questions. I love these questions because attitude. I've been doing a lot of thinking about it, and especially after I met you and started looking at your book and your website and researching and attitude belongs to us, and nobody can touch it.

And.

And you have complete control over it. And when I was young, I, you know, we, like, for example, when I was younger, we were really poor and, you know, really struggled, and I was raised by a single mother, and she was an lpn, and she worked so.

Much all the time.

Put food on the table for her four daughters. I'm the youngest of four, and thankfully, yeah, thankfully, I have three older sisters that, you know, they really took care of me when My mom was at work. And, you know, my sisters are amazing. And, you know, anytime we got something or, like, I remember this clearly, vividly when I was four years old, being in the grocery store and being super excited and looking around at the adults around me and saying, oh, I'm so excited. Oh, boy, oh, boy, we got a whole bunch of groceries. Like, you know, being excited just to have food and have food on the table. So that it. That experience, it instilled in me, like, being grateful for the little things. Right. Like, and I am to this day, like, I wake up and I'm grateful for oxygen. I'm grateful that I live in America. I can go to my sink and get a drink of water. Like, I have so much to be grateful for. And I think just the experiences that I've had growing up and seeing the things that I, you know, because I've had, it was rough. I had some rough experiences, but that really puts things into perspective. And the one thing that I've always had, and I don't know if I was born with it or developed it or where it came from, but the one thing I've always had is my attitude. How am I going to present myself to the world? How am I going to react to what somebody says? How am I going to boost myself up today so that I can feel empowered and confident and feel good and happy? I'm in control of that. That's my choice. So I think, you know, getting back to who was involved in helping me develop. Develop a positive attitude, I would say definitely my sisters. You know, definitely the experiences growing up. Yeah.

So tell me, what were the name of your sisters?

My. So my sister Kim, I was born on her ninth birthday.

Oh, boy.

Her name's Kim. We share the same birthday. And then Pam and then Glenda. It actually goes Kim.

Glenda, Pam, Kim, Glenda and Pam. And then. What's your mom's name?

Carolyn.

Carolyn. So four powerful women. You're the baby. And I'd just love to know. I mean, I get single mom, I get. Let's be grateful for the small things. Certainly when we, the gappers that are listening to this today, sometimes we don't stop to take an inventory of the small things that make us happy, that make us live, that make us relax, that make us calm. And when people feel overburdened, when they feel overstressed, when they feel tenuous, when they feel unsettled, I think what you just talked about, focusing on those small things, even as small as just breathing clean air, that can certainly Just alleviate all that. But what I want to know because I mean growing up in a household of four girls, there had to be some tenuous times, right? Can you remember just one story from one of your sisters? I know you have her from all that you go, you know what I really learned from my, me and my sister got in a fight or my sister did something or whatever. And here's what I learned. Give me a lesson from one of your sisters.

Oh I have a good one. I love this one. Okay, so when I was younger we lived in an apartment complex and my three older sisters, they were kind of wild and they would fight, they would, they would argue and I think sometimes hit it, you know, punch each other like they were pretty rough. And one time, I remember this vividly, one time one of my sisters locked my sister Kim outside naked. Now mind you, they're teenagers and she could not, they were fighting and she could not come back in until she ran around the block.

Oh my gosh.

She ran around the block and the end. And my sister wouldn't let her in. So my sister Kim punched a hole through the window so that she could unlock whatever the lock and climb back in.

Love it.

The lesson is be resourceful, right?

Be innovative.

Because the door is locked doesn't mean you can't get in.

I love this. Just because the door's locked doesn't mean you can't get in. And I think when we talk about self belief, when we talk about believing in yourself, sometimes people, people that are listening to this, people who you love, people that are your children, they put a lock on their self belief, they lock themselves up. And Debbie, that story is a great metaphor for those who are listening. And you seem like the type of person that does this. It's time to punch that freakin window in and unlock it from the inside. Sometimes the only way to unlock the lock is from the inside. And when it comes to self belief, what is binding you, what is holding you back is a lack of self belief. And you know what? The only way to unlock that thing is on the inside. So a beautiful metaphor from your naked sister. Kim, was it?

Thank you Kim. Yes, it was Kim. All right, I actually, I love what you just said. Unlock it from the inside. And that's exactly it. You know, a couple things I was just thinking, if you're, if you're miserable and having a bad day, two things. Think about five things that you're grateful for and then go help somebody in need and that will pull you out of that, guaranteed. And then Unlocking from the inside. Isn't that where it all starts? Like your mindset and what you're telling yourself and what you're believing. And the beauty of that as well is that you can change, you can change your thoughts. Right. That's how we change ourselves. We have to change our thoughts and be very mindful.

Right.

And thoughtful about what we're believing about ourselves.

When you look at all the people that you lead and that you coach, and again, the power girls group, the 5000 Women of Exp. How cool is that? Not to turn negative, but what do you see as some of the. What are the lessons or what are the mistakes that you sometimes see, especially women make in their career? There are people that are listening, that are transitioning from one job to the other, from a relationship to another, from being a stay at home mom to getting a job. People. When you look at those challenges in people's lives, what are the mistakes that people make when it comes to either self belief or just how they approach it? What's your thoughts on that?

Yeah, I think a lot of people, number one, try to do too much and get overwhelmed with everything that they have to juggle and that can be very overwhelming. And when you're in a state of overwhelm and you're dealing with emotions and trying to change your life for the better, if you have all of this going on over here, it's really hard to grasp what's needed to make things happen over here. So many people that I work with, they're just doing too much and they want to do it all. But taking a big step back, especially if really serious and committed to making a change in your life, taking a big step back and really getting clear on what are you available for, what are you not available for and what do you need to implement to take you from here to here.

That's great.

Yeah. And it does take some time and taking some downtime. So I think a lot of times people get just overwhelmed and then when they're spiraling in that sense of overwhelm, we forget that we have the power and control over ourselves and we get so caught up in the hamster wheel and the habits and the negative thinking and so really just taking some time to take a step back, have some reflection, be self aware and really get clear on what you want to accomplish.

That's fantastic advice, Debbie. That's so good. And the university of attitude, we have a course called the Clarity Summit and we actually do summits with 16 to 32 people where we actually Work with people for a day and a half to get clear. But what you said was so true. Sometimes we just take too big of the bite of the apple. And when you talk about self belief, when you're doing too much and you can't focus, then you're not doing anything good. And if you want to talk about an erosion of being able to believe in yourself, all of a sudden, now I'm failing at everything. So your advice, Debbie, was that was really, really good. You've given us two great nuggets. We are here with the great Debbie Byre, exp extraordinaire, Realtor, business builder, and life coach. Now we're going to play our little game called Knowledge through the Decades. And this is how we close all of our podcasts, where we take a walk down memory lane to try to figure out what attitude lessons you've learned through your life. And so, as we always start off, most people don't understand or remember when they were born. But when you think about a little baby or when you think of yourself as a little baby, what would be the attitude lesson or nugget that you could give our gappers? When it comes to being an infant.

It'S okay to kick and scream and cry for what you want. And I mean that in this way. If you, you know, if you're struggling or you want to change something you don't about yourself, you don't have to do it all yourself. Reach out to someone, get a coach, get counseling, get a positive support group. So I think, you know, just reach out and let other people connect with other people and let them help you.

And I think, you know, the point on that, Debbie, too, is sometimes you got to let it out. You know, sometimes. Sometimes you gotta cry, sometimes you gotta kick, sometimes you gotta scream. And that can be a great stress reducer. Go ahead.

Absolutely. And the other thing is, and that's okay because we're all human, right? Like, we have emotions where there is no right or wrong. Like, we put so much pressure on ourselves and think we're the only ones experiencing this. No, it's part of the process. It's part of the journey. And kick and scream and take up space and just, you know, let it all out.

Yeah. The bottom line is it certainly improves your attitude. I mean, sometimes you got to let it out, and then, boom, it improves your attitude. So Debbie Byre and her four sisters, you're always looking up to them, and now you're 10 years old, that's about third or fourth grade. I'd love you to take yourself back in time to third or fourth grade. Tell me the attitude lesson you learned in your life, maybe from a story or from an instance. What was the lesson for you as a 10 year old?

Well, the first thing that popped into my mind is a birthday party that I had one time and it was a roller skate party. And we had. I had a big party at a roller rink and it was a lot of fun and I had a lot of friends and like, I was able to be around people and have a big party. And that really meant so much to me. It was such a special time. And I just, I remember so much about it because it had such a positive impact on me. So I think, you know, friends, you know, find have friends, have good, positive people around you. Surround yourself with people who make you feel good because that goes a long way. And if someone doesn't make you feel good, then don't hang around them.

I love it. I love it. And that is so good. You know, when I think about that, you know, the lesson is obviously celebrate your monuments, I guess, right? It's always good to celebrate. It's even better to celebrate with others. And if somebody's out there listening to this, maybe it's time for you to have a party for yourself. And I'm not talking about a pity party. I'm talking about a real party, right? So if you're listening, if you're on the beach, right, if you're walking down an alley, if you're sitting in a car, I don't know what it is. I want you to ask yourself, when's the last time you had a party for yourself? And my guess is it's too long. And my challenge to you, if you're listening to this, is to think about Debbie's words. And you know what? Maybe it's time to have a party for yourself. So there's cute Little Debbie, she's 10. And then she goes and graduates from grade school and high school and then you end up in college. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. I don't know. Talk to me about being 20. And what was your attitude lesson when you were 20? What was life like for you?

Oh, my goodness. So many lessons in that age time frame. Like thousands upon thousands. Yeah, I would say so. I went to the community college in Bellingham, Washington, and I was trying to decide what I was going to do, what did I want to get my degree in. And I was going to be a child psychologist because I love children. And I thought, perfect. I'm going to help children that are suffering and help them to be happy. I ended up taking a portion of my funds that I got for college and I turned around and I bought a cleaning company.

Wow.

Yeah. So, yeah, it was cool because it was offices, so it was pretty easy. It was great money. And then I just kept working. I helped a friend build their cleaning company. I ended up selling my cleaning company and starting to. That's when I went to work for the. One of the health clubs that I worked at. And that was really good money. So I really dove into making money and working. And there was one time I was working like three different jobs when I was in my 20s, early 20s, right around there. And I was just, I was having so much fun, like raking in the dough. And it felt so good. I was like, I can make money. I can write my own, you know, commission check. Like, I just love that, that sense of empowerment. Like, wow, look at what I can do. So I would say a lesson, a great lesson, especially for those in their twenties and at any age really, is get a mentor. Have a mentor and someone that you can learn from that's in a profession or in a field that you're interested in, or just someone that you admire, Reach out to them and just have a mentor. I think we can just get so much wisdom and learn so much from a mentor.

So did you have a. So it's okay. So you were in college. You're like, yeah, this is good, but I'm taking the money and buying a freaking cleaning company. That's literally what you did? Yeah. Wow. Okay. So was there a mentor that helped you decide that?

You know, I did. I, you know, my sisters have always been mentors to me in a way, and. Yeah, so that was, that was a big part of it. You know, they were like, follow your dreams and just very encouraging to me and. Oh, that was the other thing I was gonna say. And also I, you know, get your degree. Go to school and get a degree. You know, I don't have a four year degree. I wish I did. It's okay that I don't because I've had experience or, you know, success without it. And I've always been kind of a rebel anyway. But I, you know, all that said get, get your degree if you're so inclined. I want to encourage that.

Me and, me and you are in same boat there. I started making so much money. I'm like, really? I'm making more money than my professor. Come on. But it's not all about money. We know that, but I think the lesson is that, you know what? There's no set pattern. And sometimes you got to trust your gut and sometimes your attitude, no matter how young or old. See, some people think they're too young to take the chance. Some people think they're too old to take the chance. The bottom line is that's all bullshit, right? If it's time to take the chance, it's time to take the chance. And I think that's the attitude lesson, and that's something. Now, did you have your own apartment then, or did you still live at home?

Oh, no, I had my own place.

Did you. Do you remember? Do you remember the address?

I don't remember the address.

I was just curious. Sometimes you do. Mine was 44.

Sometimes you do.

Mine was 4414 Brookline Place, apartment number two when I was 20. I just remember that stuff.

Yeah, yeah. Some addresses I do remember, so. But yeah, at that time.

Not that one, I'm sure. Was it, what, like a one bedroom? Was it kind of crappy? Were you.

Oh, yeah.

Did you consider yourself a clean. I mean, was your place clean or was it kind of messy?

I. I don't remember. Okay.

It was messy.

I'm messy.

I. I love. I ask people that. Like, I don't remember. I'm like, oh, I'm sure it was terrible. All right. Clothes everywhere.

They say the higher your iq, the messier you are. You know about that study, right?

Yeah, of course, Absolutely. There's no question. But I can just see Debbie Byre at 20 raking in the cash. My guess is you would just go buy a new outfit if it was dirty. You probably bought a lot of clothes back in the day, right?

Of course. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.

All right, so fiery Debbie, risk taker Debbie, self belief Debbie. Right. We are here on the attitude podcast talking about self belief. So now you live through your 20s and then you hit 30. Wow. Right? That's probably when you got into real estate. I'm guessing when you hit 30. Is that right?

Yeah, right before. Right before 30.

Cool. So do you remember your 30th birthday? And what was the attitude lesson when you were, you know what, when you were 30 or at the beginning of your 30s, what was the lesson there that people can. Can get from you?

Oh, well, right about that time also, I was adopting my son and. And that was a big deal. That was like starting real estate, adopting my son. And I think just the idea of going beyond my own world and, and affecting. Affecting someone else in a positive Way, like, you know, like, it's not just about me. You know, it's about here's this child that needs someone to take care of him. And, you know, that was like the best thing in my entire life was adopting Jeffrey and taking care of him and bringing him in and feeling, you know, just feeling so much love and knowing that I was making a difference in his life in a good way. So I think giving back, like, giving back, that will make you feel good all day long, you know, there's no doubt about it.

So that's like an incredible story. You know, I don't want to get too personal, but I'd love to know who this. Do you have other kids besides Jeffrey? Is Jeffrey your only one?

Jeffrey is my only one. He is actually, biologically. He's my great nephew. And. Yeah. Yeah. So just the way things were playing out at that time period, it would. He needed, you know, a place to be. So, yeah, so it worked out great.

And how old was he when you did that? How old was.

He was 4. He was 4.

Oh, my God. And you just took that on. That's just crazy good for you. I mean, it's crazy good, right?

Yeah, yeah. It was interesting because I was always so work focused and always, you know, and had just started real estate and then just thrown, you know, threw myself into real estate. And then I had this opportunity. I was like, oh, my gosh, of course I'm gonna take in Jeffrey and take care of him. And. Yeah, so everything worked out great.

That's an amazing story. Congratulations. Talk to me. Talk to our listeners, those who were adopted and those who are adopting and those who don't know much about it. What's there to know about the adoption process or if you're thinking about adopting or if you are adopted? What are some of the. I mean, obviously this was you. This is your life. What nuggets could you just give people that are in that situation?

Yeah, I think just really lead with your heart. You know, you want to be very sensitive to how people are feeling, you know, not only if the child who's being adopted, but whoever, like the birth parents are, the people that have been taking care of that child. And, you know, sometimes people just need help. And it's not that they don't love the child, it's just that they need help, you know, because they have to, you know, work on themselves. And so just being really, really sensitive and gentle and having a lot of love and grace and. And really, you know, refrain from judgment. Like, you know, so many it's so easy to make judgments on people and make judgments on situations. And you know, we really have to be careful of how we judge others and how we judge ourselves. That's a big attitude key right there. It's like, what are you thinking about other people? What are you thinking about yourself? So just, yeah, and then, yeah, so just, you gotta just be really sensitive. And then, and then if you have been adopted, you know, congratulations. There's people, you're loved. Like, I just think that's the most important thing. Like you are loved and the people that adopted you love you more than anything because they went after you and brought you into their homes. And so anyway, love always. Always love.

Wonderful. A wonderful story of love and a wonderful example of love. So you got this four year old as a 30 year old and now you're 40. And now he's a teenager, right? And you're 40 and you're going, holy crap, I'm 40. I was just 20 owning a cleaning service, right? I mean, is it like, wah, so tell me your big go ahead. I know something brilliant came in your head. So tell me, what were you thinking?

Well, just, you know, when you said that, it's like, yeah, I did. I did go, oh my gosh, I'm 40. I was just, I was just 20 yesterday. I mean, it's amazing how that happens. And I remember thinking, wow, it's true what they say. Time goes by so fast.

Yeah.

And so here's the thing. If you are sitting on the fence about anything, forget about it. Go after what you want to do. There's never going to be a perfect day. Your hair isn't going to be perfect. The perfect scenario is not going to happen. You create the perfect moment by going out there and propelling yourself into what it is you want to do. And you just have to do it. And who cares if you fail? If you fail. Bravo. Because at least you're living and you're getting butterflies in your stomach and your heart is beating fast and you're taking a chance and taking a risk. And that's my message for 40. I know I kind of went off on that. But you do, you have to just go for it, right?

It's like Les Brown used to say, make know your vitamin. And I always said, make failure your vitamin. I call it vitamin F. I'm going to go get some vitamin F today. I'm going to keep failing, right? Yes.

I love that.

Well, Debbie, you are. I just think you're the best. I, you know, knowledge through the decades that was awesome. The bottom line is, Debbie's advice on your way to believing in yourself is it's okay to let it out. It's okay to say it's time for me to celebrate and have a party for myself. It's okay to say I believe in myself to go out and buy my own business, even though I'm too young or too old, I don't really care. It's okay to believe in myself to take on the responsibility of another child at 30, which is incredible. And it's okay to have self belief when you're 40 and saying, I need some vitamin F because you know what, crap, we're 40, it's over. So it's like burn your boats and go. So the lessons there were great. The metaphor of your sister bringing to us about the entrapment and the entombment of our self belief, if you want to unlock that lock, you got to go inside to do it. And so, Debbie, I just want to thank you for giving us your heart and your soul today. Is there anything you'd like to leave our audience with? And if there's a way to reach out to you? If people are moved by what you said or want more of you, just again, let us know how to get ahold of you and maybe a final thought from you.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I wanted to see if I could read something.

Of course you can.

Has anyone read the Attitude by Charles Swindle on your podcast?

No. So I think this is a great time to do it.

I would love to read this. When I started in real estate, the broker passed this out at one of the office meetings and I remembered just on a piece of paper, nothing special about it. And I still have that piece of paper and it's sits on my desk.

Awesome.

And this was a driving force for my success and it applies to everyone. And I'm just gonna read it. It's like probably 10 sentences.

No, you just take your time. That's what's great about podcasting. We can do whatever. So, ladies and gentlemen, Debbie Byre reads Attitude by Charles Swindoll. Go ahead.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have. And that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes. I love that.

I love it. And we love you, Debbie. And you're just a light. And I can't wait for people to get a hold of this on YouTube and I hope you share it to all your people. I think we did some. I think we did some good today, right? And so thank you.

Sure did.

Thank you for your self belief. Thank you for believing in me. And I look forward to the next time you and I share the stage or do something cool.

That sounds awesome. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. This has been awesome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Awesome. Well, Debbie, thank you so much. We will be looking forward to following Debbie. You can look her up on LinkedIn. That's the best way to get her. And we'll call that a wrap from the gap on attitude booster number three. Believe in yourself with the great Debbie by re. This podcast is a part of the C Suite Radio network.
