Our second award for the evening is for speaker of the Year. To present this award, I'd like to call out two of Mindvalley's AI teaching legends. First, the award winning Manon Dave, who holds six CES awards and has had five of his inventions featured in Time magazine. Joining him is the brilliant Imanu Wu, one of the foremost female voices in AI, founder of Vocable AI and author of the Glass Ledge. Please welcome Manon and Iman to the stage. Every year, mindvalley hosts hundreds of speakers, each vying for the top spot. This year, one speaker truly stood out with exceptional ratings and even a podcast episode that became one of the most viewed of the year. I didn't read the script for this, so I'm gonna just go off the cuff. Thank you. Thank you. Before I talk about the speaker of the Air, who I absolutely love, there is one speaker that I missed during Future Human who has honestly changed the trajectory of my life and I think many other people in music. And that's the legend right there, looking at a phone, Eve of Rough Riders, Eve Cooper. We love you, Eve. Round of applause for you, please. Now back on script, I think. So the winner of speaker of the Year this year. She is somebody who I would describe as the Shakespeare of body language. Her ability to deliver transformational coaching and deploy her charisma upon others is honestly amazing. I really hope she backhands me with her own charisma today, and maybe I'll be less nervous on stage next time. Please, let's reveal the winner. And the award for speaker of the Year goes to. Linda Clemens. Wow. First, hello, everyone. Hello, Lisa. Everyone, everyone. First of all, thank you so much for this opportunity and this honor. I want to give thanks to Vishen and his vision. I want to acknowledge his parents, Rupi and Mohan, for creating such a visionary. And Tina, I want to thank you for embracing me and helping me as a new author in the community. And to all the mindvalley staff, family, supporters, everyone that makes us look so good behind the scenes. What was so surprising for me to receive this award is that service is what you pay for rent. To live on this earth. That's what we do. And to be able to speak and share and transform lives, that's immortality, when you're able to live in the lives of others. So I want to thank you, and the last thing I want to say, it is so good loving somebody when somebody loves you back. Thank you. Congratulations once again to Linda Clements on this amazing achievement. And thank you, Manon and Iman, for presenting this award.
