When you decide to be a unicorn, you often dance alone for a while. This next award goes to someone who has made it their business to be a unicorn. When you decide you want to stand out, you don't ask permission. You give notice. When you decide that you have a vision, not everyone gets your vision. So many of us here are unicorns not asking for permission. Years ago, I'm not sure how many years, this gentleman that I'll be calling up in a moment met me in Canada and was outrageous. He made a bold request of me to come to this event that he hadn't created yet. He asked me to be a speaker at something that hadn't existed yet. He asked me to trust his vision. He told me that it was a date and I said, I don't have that date available. He said, well, what date do you have available? I mentioned 11 months from the day we were speaking was the first date I had available. And he said, that happens to be the date of my event. I didn't figure it out then that he made the exact same date. When I came to the event, I realized that this man is bold, this man is radical. This man is unapologetic. This man is brilliant. It's been my Honor for over 10 years to watch him grow, expand, inspire millions with his words and his intention. But most of all, it's been exciting to watch him make his breath mean something. The gift of breath means something. And we have one job. Use your breath to transform as many lives as possible. And this man has done that. I like to consider him like a little brother, but in many cases, to many of us, he's a visionary. The award for the highest rated program of 2024 goes to the individual who received a 4.9 out of 5 point ratings. My brother from another mother, the leader of this wonderful organization, Vishen. Please give him a round of appl.

Thank you, Lisa. Lisa was referring to a moment way back in, in 2010, no, 2009, when I wanted to start the first Mindvalley event. We had nothing at that point. I just had a really popular blog and I really appreciate Lisa for believing in me. Because that event, 14 years later, is this so all of this we could do because we had one amazing world class speaker who took a bet on a simple blogger. Nobody knew who I was, but Lisa. Believing in me is what led to all of this. So thank you so much, Lisa. I'm honored to get this award for highest rated program. This award is for my program, Be Extraordinary, which is actually not one of the more popular programs in Mindvalley, but it was a program that deeply matters to me. It's a program that teaches people to question the rules of society. It's a program whose motto is tradition is nothing more than peer pressure from dead people. And I'm honored to get this award. Thank you. Take a photo.

Congratulations to the Be Extraordinary team for this amazing honor. And thank you, Lisa, for presenting the award so beautifully.
