Episode 43 - Wendy Salin: The Master Of Many Things Who Trusts Her Intuition And Embraces Change

I do really believe 100% from every part of me that everyone has the capacity to be able to do the things that they want and not to be held back by the mental baggage that's in our head that we want to push through.

Welcome to the do the Thing Podcast. In each episode, we get down and personal with people who go after the things they want to make all their wildest dreams come true. Join us as we unveil and dissect a formula for what it takes to do the thing. Here is your host, Stacy Lauren.

Hey everyone. Welcome to the do the Thing podcast. This is your host, Stacy Lauren. Today's guest is one of my dear friends. We met years ago at a fitness camp where she was the fitness director. I was instantly drawn to her energy and her ability to engage. Her story is so inspirational. I love how she's not one to accept life as a static one path journey. Instead, she opens the doors to new opportunities whenever possible. She's mastered many professions along the way, from academia to running a nonprofit to becoming a muscle activation techniques practitioner. She even went back to school for massage therapy. Did I mention that she's also a skilled artist? I admire how she embraces change and doesn't run away from the hard stuff. Whenever an obstacle pops up, she finds a way to get around it. Even losing her job during COVID didn't make her throw in the towel. Instead, she discovered her passion for creating art and many people have already commissioned pieces from her. One of her masterpieces even hangs in my Home and it's the first thing people notice when they come in. For all of these reasons, Wendy was the perfect choice for my first podcast guest, but I almost didn't publish it at all. It was unnerving to watch myself on video. I know many of you can relate just like everyone else. Sometimes doing the thing means overcoming my own fears and insecurities, or working around them. In this case, I chose to go with audio only on these interviews for a while so I wouldn't be distracted by seeing myself on video. Whatever hurdles you encounter, it's worth taking a step back to see what gifts you might be withholding from the world by not doing the thing. There's always a workaround because I hesitated. This episode actually turns out to be a great timestamp. Just eight months have passed since our interview. Now Wende is the owner of Mana Body Work. As you'll see, for people who are doing the thing, things change quickly and they tend to move fast. It's my great pleasure to welcome Wendy Salon to the show. So good morning Wende. Why don't we have you start off with your background and we can share that and then we can kind of take it from there.

Well, my name is Wendy and I'm 53 years old and I live over in Carlsbad Village, my favorite place on the face of the earth. And so I have been professionally in different professions over the course of being out of school until now. And I started in academia working at UCLA as a academic advisor and I also ran a foundation in LA giving out grants to non profits that service the kids of la. And then life took me suddenly to San Diego with my husband at the time and he was pregnant. I was pregnant, he wasn't pregnant.

And then came out here and I was a stay at home mom for a while and then I fell into a long passion of mine that I have wanted to pursue even when I was working at UCLA and I was kind of working with people in the fitness and wellness realm and working with people on their bodies and getting them healthy and working on their mechanics and I've been doing that for about. She's almost like 18 years now. 18 to 20 years now. So I also am a muscle activation techniques practitioner so I work on as you know, people muscular systems and then I'm also back in school for massage therapy right now. And then I have a 21 year old daughter, Erin and she's a senior at UCSD and she's studying bioengineering and she has a wonderful boyfriend named Jake and he is graduating this year too and he's studying aerospace engineering. So they're total slackers those two.

And super proud of them both and, and yeah, kind of my life and have a good life out here. I love running on the beach and just meeting have great neighbors and great friends and just kind of enjoying life. Pretty simple. I'm a big.

That's great. Yeah. And I know we met originally from. It was the first thing I ever did for myself since I had kids. We met at the fitness camp and you were, I think you were the director of the trainers, the fitness tracker fitness director. Okay. Yeah. And I just remember how you're just like we're so amazing with like everybody and so engaged and made. I know I'm. You made me feel really special. And then. And then we kind of ran into each other again at another. Yeah. Like a different fitness camp and then that one. I think you were in a different role there.

Yeah, it was more operations and programming.

Yeah. And then that's when we Sort of were like, well, let's be friends.

And so anyway, so it's been great. And you're actually one of the inspirations of the book because as we were hiking and walking and doing different things, I just really was inspired by so many things that you did.

And it's been just exciting to be a part of your journey, you know, both personally and professionally, and getting to see everything that you've been doing, even when, you know, things get knocked at you and then coming back up. So I thought we could talk a little bit about that, if that's okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's been a curvy, windy road. Right. But I think most people live curvy and windy roads.

So what do you think has been kind of the biggest thing that stands out for you?

Well, I kind of feel. I. I feel like when we're young and we're becoming adults and we're trying to define our lives and we're supposed to define our lives and what are we going to do with ourselves and what's the trajectory that we're on? I feel like I thought it was a linear path. Like, I was just going to get on this road and go, right. Just like when you're all, you know, when you're younger really is. You're going to go to school. You go to school and you have this little narrow path that you're going on, and it's well defined. It's well defined for you. And then you're kind of. You're thrown out into the world. And I feel like when I first started out, I was just like, okay, I'm picking my path and go. And I quickly realized that that path is like, has a thousand different T's in the road and forks on the road and blockages, and you have to turn around and go, okay, I can't go that way. Or, you know, you're walking down the road and all of a sudden a big, huge, you know, rock comes tumbling down and boulder and knocks you over, and you got to get back up, get back on the road. So I feel like along the way, and I was thinking about this this morning, about what we wanted to talk about is I feel like once I started accepting change, that change is inevitable, that changes, that life is supposed to be change. It's supposed to be fluid versus a set path and direction. Then I started, doors just kind of open up to me. You know, maybe I'm seeing the doors more. I'm allowing change to happen versus fighting it. That's one of the main things that I've learned to see change is not something that's scary, but something that's inevitable and could lead to even better things over time. Even if you don't think you want it right. Then if something's forced on you. I've had many things forced on me. Life changes that I didn't choose.

And I feel like I've just kind of learned that I can recover quicker and actually thrive better if I accept that this is just part of life. That makes sense.

Yeah, no, it's amazing. It's so important to be able to accept it because.

Then you're able to really live a true, authentic life. Right. Like being able to not be scared of that. What do you think's helped you the most to be able to kind of get into that space.

You know?

You know, there's a lot of fear involved in change or not knowing.

And I feel like. And that's usually what puts roadblocks in front of me, at least. I think a lot of the population is kind of bound by fear. Fear directs them a lot in life, unfortunately. And me myself, I've had to work through that. But at one point, I remember realizing strongly that.

When I realized that I was more fearful of my status quo, that I was of the unknown of the future, that's when I started accepting change versus fighting change, if that makes sense. And it's about every day. I mean, you know, you get comfortable in a certain thing and you think you got it down, you got it rolling, but it's never a given that something's going to stick. And hopefully it sticks for a while. And hopefully it's phenomenal, right?

Yeah.

Try to change the things that aren't good as fast as you can. But I think it's just part of this idea of embracing evolution and not being so afraid of what the unknown is.

Because sometimes your status quo is worse than what could be out there for you.

Yeah. I love that you verbalized it. I have a thing, and I don't think we've ever even talked about it, but it's actually literally like a thing from my past where same old, same old. If I hear that, it's like a trigger where I'm like, oh, my God, I have to do something because I can't live in that. Say, you know, I don't want. I don't want to be same old, same old, you know, like, kind of thing when you're asking someone, how you doing? And they're like, oh, same old, same old, you know, that's kind of same. I think that's your status quo. But it's funny, I have the same kind of thought process with that where.

I'm like, no, I think that people believe that there's. And rightly so. And everybody has their own perception of life. I think a lot of people feel like there is a finish line. When I get to here and I'm doing xyz, then I'm good. I've gotten there. Right. I don't feel that that's how life is supposed to be played. At least not for me. I struggle with that because sometimes I want to be in that space.

Then I don't want to be same old, same old either. I feel like there's always something to evolve yourself, right?

Definitely.

Definitely doing all the time.

Well, I think the interesting thing is. So when. One of the things that inspired me. So many things have inspired me about you. Obvious, obviously, but, like, one of the most. The things that I got to see kind of firsthand evolve was when you lost your job at the one Fitness Place. And for Covid. Right. They laid people off because no one could work out anymore. So obviously that makes sense why that would happen. And then you then discovered you were an artist. And it's funny you didn't mention that in your. In your intro. I just find that. I just find that fascinating. But to me, it's such a. I.

Guess I'm still learning to embrace that.

Yeah.

Because I happened upon it. It's not that I necessarily.

Purposefully went after it as a goal.

So. Yeah, that's really interesting. I'm still. I tend to say I make art.

So that's a challenge for myself. I've gotten a change thing in, but the titles is something different.

So, Yeah, I. That was an interesting.

Revelation. Right. And I started it. I did. The camp closed, obviously, and I did have a few private clients as well, and they were meeting and working out, and I was. It gave me time, you know, I think Covid and the shutdowns had two different reactions in people. Like some people, they went into a shutdown and woe is me mode and the world is horrible mode. And rightly so. There was a lot going on at the time.

For me. Gave me a chance to rediscover a new part of me or discover a new part of me and to also kind of reassess my trajectory in life. What was I doing at the fitness camp? Why was I working there? It helped me kind of, you know, is it. Is it something that I wanted?

Same old, same Old. It was okay. It was great. The people were wonderful. Amazing fitness camp. But my role there was not one of growth anyways. And so the pandemic and the shutdown gave me time to just sit in it, sit in doing nothing, to try to figure out what I'm capable of doing and what do I want to go back into something that was secure but wasn't right for me. And then in the meantime, I was bored. And I have a creative edge to me. I always have. I've always been crafty, let's say, and over the years, and I just, as an adult, haven't had time to really explore it. And it gave me time to just goof around, you know, I was like, wow, I'm making zero dollars. And I, you know, we got so much in the bank, and here I am spending hundreds, probably more than hundreds of dollars worth of art supplies. What am I doing? And I started it, actually, because my daughter and her son were playing around with painting, and they came over and we just started doing it, and I just took off from there, and I started looking at different.

Mediums, and I really fell in love with resin. And so I've made some resin pieces, and I just put it out there in social media, like, hey, check this out. Look what I'm making. Like, you know, just, hey, guys, check it out. Look what I'm doing with my time. And I've had a lot of interest in people purchasing my art, and I never asked for it. I never.

Really.

Wanted that as my end game. But to see that I can create something that gives people joy and they can have in their homes for years to come is really cool. You know, it's a little piece of me in people's homes and the love that I put into the work.

And so that's been really neat to get this organic support. And it's growing. People who now have heard about me through their friend or they saw my piece in their home, and they're interested in commissioning me to do something for their home as well. So it's been a very organic evolution.

And so that came out. That was a really cool piece that came out of that year. I called that year of the pandemic the Great Pause.

I love that. Yeah, it was a great cause, is you can either hold your breath or you can learn to breathe. And so I just said, you know, I'm going to learn to breathe and see what happens. So that's kind of what rolled out of that. And, yeah, I'm still struggling with calling myself an Artist, as you can tell.

Because I do so much more. I'm back also working with people and.

Balancing those two things. It's been a real. I kind of feel like I just want to heal people and create and that's probably my. Where I'm supposed to go in life.

I love that. And I've been pretty. I've been like, gotten to get all the rewards because.

I've worked with you as a trainer. Now I. We did the. Where you trained me doing stuff, you know, at the fitness camps. And then I have your beautiful art. I have the one here, which is the photo that you took. And then I was like, I want that. And then you blew it up and put it in this beautiful canvas. And then I have the. I'm like pointing at it, which you can't see. I get so many compliments on that. When people walk in, it's like the first thing that they'll compliment about.

That's great.

And then you've done the mat therapy on me when I had a hip issue and so that's been great. And now I'm getting benefits of your massages.

I'm a full stop shop.

So I'm full. I'm full fan, Wendy.

You know, I, I joke with a good friend of mine about how she's very, very successful in her industry and has always been extremely focused in this one arena and it's proven itself to be amazing for her and she runs an incredible team in her industry. And I kind of joke with her a lot because she's so good at what she does. And she does a lot because she oversees things, but it's all in one area and it has been for years. And I'm, I'm sort of this, I guess now this. I'm trying to accept this as personality of. I need. I do lots of things and I'm, I'm. You know, there's that saying, jack of all trades, master of none. I don't feel that that's actually accurate because I feel like I am a master at what I do, but it's not all one thing. And it's okay. Like, it's okay for me just to feel that I don't need to do one thing. I could do multiple things and I can be really, really good at them.

Yeah, and it's, it's true because, I mean, when I, when you gave me the massage and you're still in training now, and I'm just like, oh my God, this is literally the best massage I've ever had in My life, you know, and then the art, I feel the same.

Are you.

No, I'm like, serious. I'm totally serious. I mean, so much that I'm like, I want to get my friends that.

You want your gift.

And so. And then your art is like the same thing. So like everything. And then when you did the mat on me, it was that like changed my whole hip alignment, you know. And so, yeah, I know. I totally am fully invested in all of that. And it's all because it's. I hear what you're saying, because I've been kind of saying it myself too, where it's like we have this prescribed life that we think we have to live and once we accept that we don't and we can like go outside of that, like norm, you know, that's when you're actually able to almost just find what your true calling is. And I loved how you verbalized it earlier and I'm trying to remember exactly what you said, but thank goodness we're recording it. But like, you know, healing people, you know, both through. Was it through body and then creatively. Because if you think about it like by you helping people with their bodies and then also by making art, you're covering both sides, you know, Right?

Yes. And you know, as you know, I've worked with people not just on their bodies, but also on their mindsets and especially through the wellness retreat, helping people build up belief in themselves or find belief in themselves. You know, people can only do that for themselves. You can't wish it and will it on somebody, but to be a part of that process, to take care of people to the level of not just the physical, but also the emotional and you know, having. Helping people find their self worth and their aha. Like I am a badass kind of person. It's so great to help people turn that light back on. And so that's been a big part, the massage therapy.

As much as I know that I will help people on the clinical level with their muscular systems like I do with mat. Even just starting this process, I'm realizing that it's really about even just putting people into a state of ease, which I think is a state that most people don't even know how to live in ever. A lot of our time in that fight or flight, sympathetic nervous system.

It's been really neat. This new part of me evolving and wow, just really having through touch the ability to help somebody take them from a heightened state to all is well. Even if it's just in this moment, all is well, that's pretty powerful for me to be able to help people get into that place. So it's been a really. This is a whole new avenue of, you know, being able to use touch, not as much as in the clinical sense as. As in an emotional kind of sense as well. It's been. It's really cool.

Yeah, that's power. I mean, it's like. Yeah, I've gotten it from the other side, so, I mean, when you're able to help someone in that way, it's pretty magnificent, for sure.

We all need it, right? And we all need beautiful things in our lives. We all need pictures of oceans and taking, you know, whatever your pleasure is to look at. And so that's where I'm at with my art. I don't know where my art's going to evolve to either. I'm doing the work that I'm being commissioned for, and I love it. And as you know, it's a lot of oceanscape and, like, to gaze at the ocean. Right. But it'll be interesting to see. I feel that there's going to be evolution in my art because I have some ideas, but I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. And I'm not forcing it. And so that's really cool because I can feel it coming.

And I have some things that pop into my head, but I'm just letting it kind of. It started organically, and so I want it to kind of continue. I'm looking into different things, but I want to feel what's right for me. It's going to probably also include resin work as well, but just kind of a little different over time. But, yeah.

How exciting.

Yeah, yeah, it's been. It's been an interesting, interesting go.

When you first.

So you're saying your daughter and her boyfriend were the ones that kind of got you started where they were interested. They brought it over, and that's how you started to mess around with it.

Is that started doing a fluid art, acrylic paint.

Jake, my daughter's boyfriend, and Aaron were just doing it for fun. And so I was like, oh, I want to learn how to do that. Bring the paints over. It's like, okay. So they came over and I learned how to do it, and it was really interesting because I just got so into it, and I just got this thing. I've always just. I feel like I Zen out and it's a time doesn't matter there. It's kind of almost like my moving meditation. I've never Been good at meditating, sitting still. Because I'm a super. As you know, I'm a super active person. Yeah, I don't sit. I barely sit. But so for. For me to actually meditate without movement is very difficult. I do it. But my best meditation is actually when I'm moving. And it happens. I figured it out. Happens when I'm running and when I'm doing art, when I'm creating piece, I'm in it. Nothing enters, nothing. Everything. Things that need to be processed somehow magically get processed. And I'm not even thinking about it. I'm just letting myself be in the moment. Which is beautiful.

Yeah.

As you know, it's hard to be in the moment. We're either in the past or the future. And if we are in the moment, it's just stressing about what's happening in the moment. Right.

Definitely.

So you're just completely.

Your head. You're out of your head in terms of being able to just fully be present.

Yep. It's. And it's amazing, you know, it's. It's. You start craving it. Right. So here I am going, I need to make a piece. I. You know, I have to do it for myself. That puts me in my place and space. Well, yeah.

What I'm thinking is just. It's fascinating because it's so much different than anything else you can do. Also, like, where if meditation and all of that is still great, but how amazing is it that you could do it through art? Because then at the end of it, not only were you able to be so present and so in this moment, but then at the end, you have this, like, amazing piece that you're able to look at, you know, as you're almost like your gift.

And it's really neat because when I. It's going to sound super corny, but.

When I give or deliver the piece to the person who has commissioned it, I literally put all my love into this thing, my full focus. And it's important to me that when I gift it to somebody or when somebody purchases a piece of mine, it's just been interesting that, wow. I've really poured everything, all my attention into this thing I'm doing because I need to make it, it's actually. I get swept away in it, which is great.

That's beautiful.

Right.

I'm, like, ready to do art now. Let's go. Let's do the thing.

It's interesting because I feel like so many people are. You know, they live. We limit ourselves.

And it might be a fleeting thought like.

Oh, I wonder if I, you know, maybe I should try to learn how to do ceramics or whatever. And so. And we all go, oh, we can't do that. I'm not. I'm not that kind of person. Learn to do this. And.

I'm kind of like this, like, yes man. I don't know if you ever saw that movie.

I did. Yes.

Yeah. Just so goofy. But he has to say yes to everything.

Yeah.

Almost this thing that I've embraced, especially over.

Things that have happened in my life prior to the pandemic, but also during the pandemic, I was just kind of like, yeah, I'm just going to be a yes man. Just.

Yeah.

And just see what opens up. And it's been. It's been a wild ride for me.

I love it.

Because it's true.

Right. Because you just don't know until, like, you just can expand into another level, and then you get to see what comes out from there.

Yeah. And I almost feel like all these opportunities are always there. There's all these, like, invisible doors that are just kind of.

In our path, but it's what we focus on. That's the one we see, if that makes sense. It does. You're open to seeing doors. They present themselves. That's how I feel like. It's not like you're seeking. Seeking You. Yes, you are seeking, and you have somewhat of a plan and hopes and dreams. But it's when you open your eyes to just possibility in general, and you see a door open, you know, it may not be the door you thought it was going to go, you're supposed to go through, but, you know, it's opened itself to you. And that's kind of that process of accepting change and looking at different possibilities and not trying to define myself by a very small definition of myself.

So when the door is open and then there's, like, someone in the door that's, like, pushing you aside or when that obstacle comes. Is there something that you've noticed that you've been able to do to get through the door still or to.

Well, it depends. I mean, it depends on the obstacle. There are some things that I feel you're not supposed to go to, and some of those doors could be just.

If you're really walking through a door and there's a definitive no, that might be that I'm just trying to. Unknowingly. My subconscious is trying to.

Repeat a bad pattern in my life that maybe wasn't so.

Beneficial to me. You still have those habits of what you feel Comfortable in. So as we're trying to evolve, there's still that piece of you that wants to keep you in your safe house. Right. But your safe house in your comfort zone is not always the best place in general to be. Right. So. However, there are some doors and if there's obstacles, but I still want to pursue it.

I try not to fight the obstacles versus just kind of get around the obstacle, if that makes sense. Maybe it's something that I still want to pursue, that I'm supposed to be looking at it from a different angle and going around that I feel like even when you're presented with obstacles, at least for me.

And that if I say this right, is you can still learn from that. No, like that experience that wasn't right. That experience that you're butting your head up against the wall, there's still a reason why you saw that door and you it. And whether it's to move forward or to move away. Right. I feel like everything that we bump into, including obstacles, is really just a learning experience. Every failure is a learning experience. It's not failure. It's just something that still like bounces you off to evolve you in another direction that maybe you're supposed to be versus that thing that you thought you were supposed to be doing.

Definitely.

Yeah.

Because sometimes that new thing that you get to is even better than the thing you initially thought you were going to.

Right. That happens, I mean, a lot.

Okay, so I'm really putting you on the spot with this question. But so answer as you. If you can think of it. But I'm trying to see, is there a formula for you when you're doing the thing, whatever it is that you're doing, Whether it's like, I'm going to try art, you know, I'm going to like go into Matt. I can never say it right. You know that about me.

Until you did it on me, I didn't understand what it was. And I'm like, oh, that's what this is.

Pretty much the case across the board.

And now massage and everything that you've done, like, is there something that you've noticed is like a pattern for you to be.

Or formula.

Whichever one secret sauce for like you kind of being able to do that thing, whatever it is.

I've learned that if I. If I think about something for too long and hyper analyze something, nothing's ever going to get done for me.

I'm going by a lot of my intuition and my gut instinct on things.

I'm still on the path of even in the artistry. I'm still on my path of wanting to better people's lives to make them feel have, you know, living the best version of themselves, which is one of my personal quests in life, whether that be through physical, emotional.

Mental. That's just my. My jam. So I use a lot of my own intuition and not so much like.

There'S not like the daily actions of running your own business and the things that you have to do. But I almost started just recently saying don't think, just do. Because at some point you just got to do and you don't know what the result's going to be. So I've really taken this hyper analyzing out of my life and just letting myself ride a wave and with my gut instinct.

With the thought process behind it in the sense of why would I want it? Why do I want to do this? But I'm letting my passion drive my action as well.

Wow. It's amazing.

But I'm trying just not to. I understand having business and doing strategic planning and marketing and all that and for my wellness and my fitness and my art. Right. As it grows.

But I'm just kind of letting. Letting a bigger higher force drive it versus me thinking that I can actually do it on my own. Right. So I just kind of release myself to that surfing that wave, I guess.

And then with don't think, just do when you have that. And I love that by the way. Do you ever do. Do you ever have a risk assessment going on in your head or is there anything that's like, okay, since it's.

This.

I'm doing, you know, but with this I need to do xyz. Is there anything that ever kind of like deters that?

Well, I think that that's natural. I'm looking at, you know, I'm being realistic of where do I put my energy. Right. I don't think I'm.

If I have a secret recipe or secret sauce, I honestly don't know that's something that I can think about more. I'm really, you know, I'm not have a. I don't have a strategy of sitting down. Yes. Looking at the risk assessments and you know, it's. I am going more into how I intuitively am seeing what doors open to me and how it feels and is it in line with my greater passion? If it's not, then I'm like, why would I want to do that? I've had some opportunities that have come up and haven't arisen and that I could go down and they could lead to a safer life in terms of professional, that type of thing. And it just doesn't feel right. And so I'm kind of like, you know what, Let me just keep going this flow because there's a reason why doors keep opening for me that tells me that I'm on the right path. It may not be the right path for the rest of my life as we know it's the right path now.

So it sounds like your risk assessment is your intuition.

Pretty much.

I love it.

What I feel like we have, we have all the power and knowledge in us. You can look at the external and do a risk assessment and see, well, if this is the status of this and this and this. But who knows? That could change in a millisecond too. The thing that doesn't change is change. So it's kind of like you could do as much assessment and analyzing as you want, but who knows what's going to happen either. That's the kind of thing I just kind of started accepting when I started accepting that I'm just having faith also. You have faith that things are going to come to me and I'm kind of having fun not defining myself that much. It's kind of cool. It gives you so much freedom to almost not define yourself as one thing. For me, kind of a cool game I've been playing with myself. It's scary because we're supposed to know who we are, we're supposed to know what we do. I mean, especially as adults, we define ourselves through one of the second things you say besides your name is what your job is.

Right?

This. I am this. And. And it's kind of neat for me to.

I'm an artist one day and I'm a kick ass trainer another day. Or I'm both in one day and I'm totally invested in both of them when I'm doing them. And that's kind of been cool to act just for me to know that I can have that spice in my life of diversity.

I think it's great when people are focused and they have that one thing get me wrong. I think it's amazing. That has not been my path in the recent years and I'm okay with it. That's the acceptance piece, definitely.

Well, you are an inspiration to me. So I appreciate you and everything that you bring to my life. And now all the people watching listening will also get to hear your wisdom. So I appreciate you doing this.

I don't know. Yeah, it's. It's my experience, you know, maybe you can call it wisdom or not, but it's more. I think it's more about our just cumulative experience in life and what comes from it. You've been so inspirational to me, too. You. I just, when I think of you, I think of, like, just the word inspire comes to mind.

And.

You know, just your own evolution and looking at.

Changes in your life and embracing all these cool new ideas that you're, like, not scared to dive into. And why not learn about this, why not learn about that? Why not check that out. And so that's been very inspiring to me as well. So I think that's why we're good friends as well.

Yay.

That's so awesome. Well, thank you so much for being.

Here to do this, and I can't wait to see what comes from it. Something great will.

And thanks for doing the thing.

Thanks. You have a great day.
