  Welcome to the podcast, people. It is Networking
• 0:21
  Unleashed, and I have a special podcast for you
• 0:25
  today. Today, I have April here, and she is not
• 0:30
  only one of the founders of Perga, but this is
• 0:35
  my 300th podcast. Yay! 300th podcast. But most
• 0:42
  importantly, she's my wife. And she's doing so
• 0:47
  well. And I can't wait to get this whole thing
• 0:51
  going. So, welcome to Network Unleashed, Building
• 0:55
  Profitable Connections. The podcast where conversations
• 0:59
  build trust, strengthen relationships, and create
• 1:03
  meaningful opportunities. Today, we're exploring
• 1:07
  what happens when personal wellness, community,
• 1:10
  and business relationships come together. My
• 1:14
  guest... My wife, April Foreman, is sharing why
• 1:19
  she became with Perga, what the company represents,
• 1:23
  and the potential benefits that caught her attention.
• 1:27
  We'll also discuss something every leader and
• 1:30
  entrepreneur needs to consider. When you connect
• 1:33
  your name and reputation to a wellness company,
• 1:37
  how do you share your experience with honesty,
• 1:40
  protect the trust you have earned? and give people
• 1:44
  room to make informed decisions. This is not
• 1:48
  simply a conversation about products. It's about
• 1:53
  purpose, personal responsibility, community,
• 1:57
  and the values that guide the opportunities we
• 2:01
  choose to share. Get ready for an open and honest
• 2:05
  discussion about wellness, relationships, and
• 2:10
  building something that matters. So let's get
• 2:13
  started. April, how are you? And welcome to my
• 2:18
  podcast. Why, thanks for having me, Mr. Foreman.
• 2:22
  I love being here. That's great. So why don't
• 2:27
  we just start off? Why don't you give me just
• 2:30
  the cliff notes of how you got where you are
• 2:33
  today? As a postmenopausal woman and cancer survivor,
• 2:40
  I am very careful about what I put in my body.
• 2:44
  And I have been on a health journey. I've been
• 2:47
  able to lose 50 pounds. I work out three days
• 2:50
  a week. I'm getting stronger every day. It's
• 2:54
  increased my balance and my flexibility. And
• 2:58
  part of my missing pieces was how to give my
• 3:06
  body the nutrition that it needed. Because you
• 3:09
  can only eat so much. And although I'm eating
• 3:12
  healthy. I just felt like there was a missing
• 3:14
  piece. A friend of mine introduced me to Perga
• 3:18
  and she said, you've got to go to this, learn
• 3:22
  about the company. You've got to be a part of
• 3:24
  it. And after investigating it and sitting through
• 3:29
  a corporate overview by the founder of the company,
• 3:32
  I knew it was the right thing for me. It was
• 3:35
  a way for me to help other people get healthy.
• 3:40
  to help myself get healthy and a way for me to
• 3:43
  make some residual income to supplement what
• 3:45
  I was making at the time. Perfect. Okay. So let's
• 3:50
  just jump right into the questions. What personal
• 3:53
  experience first drew you to Perga and what convinced
• 3:57
  you that this was something worth connecting
• 4:00
  your name and reputation to? I think that the
• 4:05
  corporate environment of Perga is what initially
• 4:09
  drew me to it. has extremely strong values, core
• 4:15
  values that they live by every day. And their
• 4:18
  focus is on five main components, faith, family,
• 4:24
  community, health, and nature. And those things
• 4:30
  are very important to your overall health. They
• 4:32
  are also very transparent about everything. company
• 4:41
  works internally, the products themselves, the
• 4:45
  research, the development, the honesty. And that
• 4:49
  is something that I would not be able to be affiliated
• 4:53
  with if it wasn't true. Outstanding. Outstanding.
• 4:57
  And how is it working for you so far? I love
• 5:00
  it. I love the people. I love the environment.
• 5:03
  Everybody is so supportive. We're truly a community.
• 5:07
  The company is growing in leaps and bounds, and
• 5:09
  I'm so glad that I became involved in it at its
• 5:12
  early beginnings. And we're doing phenomenal
• 5:17
  things. We're doing phenomenal work, not just
• 5:20
  from a financial perspective and growth in the
• 5:23
  company, but also from a humanitarian perspective
• 5:27
  as well with our charity. Okay. But for someone...
• 5:33
  Hearing about Perga for the first time, what
• 5:36
  is it and what makes it more than a collection
• 5:40
  of wellness products? Perga does not sell individual
• 5:46
  supplements and does not claim we don't cure
• 5:49
  diseases. We just help you build foundational
• 5:52
  health. And I think that is the difference between
• 5:55
  us and regular supplements because individual
• 5:58
  supplements have, they're trying to help you
• 6:01
  with individual fixes. What Perga does is it
• 6:05
  helps you with your foundational health. So at
• 6:08
  the very core of your being, your cellular health
• 6:10
  is where we focus. And we have a system of four
• 6:15
  products that interact with each other, taken
• 6:20
  at various times of the day, that address the
• 6:24
  basic processes of the body through cellular
• 6:28
  energy, nutrition. all natural ingredients that
• 6:33
  will help your flexibility, your joints, your
• 6:37
  ligaments, your detoxification. It's a closed
• 6:40
  system of products. People, there's supplements
• 6:45
  everywhere. Everywhere you look, everywhere you
• 6:48
  turn, there's supplements. What makes yours?
• 6:52
  different is it more is there more product within
• 6:56
  your product is there less is it easier to absorb
• 6:59
  what is what about it makes it so great our products
• 7:04
  are based on science data and lifestyle choices
• 7:09
  we feel that excuse me our products We're a very
• 7:16
  transparent company. We actually have a science
• 7:19
  page where you can go on. You can ask any questions
• 7:21
  about our products. We have a video all about
• 7:24
  our products, where they come from, where they're
• 7:26
  sourced, what's in them, how they interact with
• 7:28
  each other, the amount of the dosages that you
• 7:31
  will receive, and all of the certifications we
• 7:36
  have, all of the trademarks that we have. We're
• 7:39
  a US -based company. Everything is done here
• 7:41
  in the United States. And we have a fantastic...
• 7:45
  team of developers. Our formulations are led
• 7:49
  by a biological scientist. And we are so open
• 7:56
  and we promote and we ask people to do the research,
• 8:01
  do the research before you take the products.
• 8:04
  Really know what you're taking. And I think that's
• 8:07
  the difference between us and a lot of supplements.
• 8:09
  It says, oh, it's two milligrams of this product.
• 8:12
  Take this vitamin. Our products are all laid
• 8:16
  out, everything that's in them, where they come
• 8:19
  from, how they interact. And you can look up
• 8:23
  every single ingredient on our site and find
• 8:27
  out what the benefit of that ingredient is. Absolutely.
• 8:32
  That sounds great. Parker speaks about faith,
• 8:35
  family, community, nature, and nutrition. Which
• 8:40
  of these... values connects most strongly with
• 8:44
  your own purpose and why? That's a tough question
• 8:48
  because I would say faith, family, and community
• 8:52
  are so interconnected and they supply us with
• 8:58
  our emotional and religious, emotional, and spiritual
• 9:07
  needs are all connected there. And nature and
• 9:11
  nutrition combine to give us what our physical
• 9:15
  needs are. So I think for true health, you have
• 9:19
  to be balanced between both sides of the spectrum,
• 9:22
  emotionally, spiritually, and nutritionally.
• 9:27
  So I can't really give you a great answer for
• 9:30
  that. But if I had to pick only one, I think
• 9:33
  I'd pick family. I agree with you. I think family
• 9:37
  is the most important. Remember that book by
• 9:40
  Brian Piccolo, God is first, my family is second,
• 9:43
  and I am third. And I am third was the name of
• 9:47
  the book. But I struggle with the fact of either
• 9:51
  God or family should come first. I'm third regardless,
• 9:55
  but I struggle with that just to find out. But
• 9:58
  anyway, I digress. The wellness industry is filled
• 10:03
  with bold promises. How do you communicate Paraguay's
• 10:07
  potential benefits honestly without creating
• 10:12
  expectations that evidence or individual results
• 10:16
  cannot support? I think that it's our educational
• 10:22
  foundation. We are so educating yourself about
• 10:25
  your health and about what you're putting in
• 10:27
  and on your body. is so important because we
• 10:33
  are not individual things inside our body. Our
• 10:38
  processes are interconnected and rely on every
• 10:42
  other part of our body. It is a system where
• 10:44
  one biological system. And since we approach
• 10:48
  health that way, our products approach health.
• 10:54
  All the processes of our body are connected.
• 10:57
  So our products are connected to address those
• 10:59
  processes in the body. We don't make any claims
• 11:03
  solving any issues that you have or curing any
• 11:07
  diseases. That would be dishonest. We're very
• 11:09
  transparent that what we're doing is helping
• 11:12
  you at the foundational level become healthier
• 11:17
  and live longer because. Everybody wants to live
• 11:21
  longer, but living longer and not being healthy
• 11:24
  while you're doing it is not the optimal result.
• 11:27
  We want to have health and longevity tied together.
• 11:30
  That's what our products strive to achieve and
• 11:34
  help you to achieve. We have documentation for
• 11:39
  everything on our site. It's right there. If
• 11:41
  you go to our site, you can see everything. And
• 11:44
  we have testimonials. We have hundreds. thousands
• 11:47
  of testimonials of people who are taking our
• 11:49
  product we also post on our product on our site
• 11:53
  what you could expect to see at 90 days 180 days
• 11:59
  and one year when you take a supplement system
• 12:03
  like this it takes a while for your body to adjust
• 12:06
  and absorb and everybody's body is Everybody
• 12:11
  has different needs. So we give you a generalized
• 12:14
  example of what you can expect over the course
• 12:17
  of one year taking our supplements. Every supplement
• 12:22
  that you see on television or somewhere else,
• 12:25
  they promise the moon. They say, you know what?
• 12:28
  We can fix it. Just buy it from us. What makes
• 12:31
  Perga so different from those just like saying,
• 12:37
  just buy me? What do you have? as your process
• 12:41
  that truly makes them believe that you know something
• 12:45
  this is for me this is something i can really
• 12:49
  believe in i think a lot of it has to do with
• 12:53
  understanding our company itself the principles
• 12:57
  that we hold ourselves to which we discuss at
• 13:01
  every team meeting those are honesty trust integrity
• 13:07
  generosity and Those things are so ingrained
• 13:14
  in us at the top level of the company that it
• 13:17
  infuses everything. We are a very honest company.
• 13:21
  We don't claim to cure anything. We actually
• 13:25
  will work with you if a dosage is too strong.
• 13:31
  We have different combinations that you can take.
• 13:35
  If you have a sensitive stomach. or you're allergic
• 13:38
  to shellfish, things like that, we will work
• 13:41
  with you. We are always available to our customers.
• 13:44
  We have welcome kits, directions on how to use
• 13:47
  the products, when to take them, what to expect
• 13:51
  from each one. We listen to our customers and
• 13:56
  we adjust our formulations. We have adjusted
• 13:59
  our formulations based on customer feedback because
• 14:02
  our customers are, they are so important to us
• 14:05
  and we want them to be healthy. We don't want
• 14:08
  them to have a bad experience with our product.
• 14:11
  That's great. What happens if somebody has questions,
• 14:16
  medical questions or the like, when they call
• 14:19
  customer service? For a regular company or a
• 14:23
  supplement company, they get a customer service.
• 14:25
  So what do you offer that person? Whom can they
• 14:30
  speak to get the right answers? The first thing
• 14:33
  I would tell them if they have questions is to
• 14:36
  go to, we have our site called pergascience .com.
• 14:41
  On that site, you will find everything about
• 14:45
  each product, what it is, how it works. everything,
• 14:48
  what's in it, how much, what are our ingredients,
• 14:51
  where do we source them from? All that information
• 14:53
  is on that site. But we also have an AI that
• 14:57
  they can actually type in and ask questions from
• 15:01
  the AI. And if the AI doesn't have an answer
• 15:05
  for them, then they can reach out to the person
• 15:08
  in the company who sold them their products.
• 15:12
  So their connection in the company, if it was
• 15:15
  me and one of my customers said to me, had a
• 15:17
  question and I couldn't answer it, I would connect
• 15:20
  them within the company to the person that would
• 15:23
  answer their questions. All of our leadership
• 15:26
  is available. I've had them get on the phone
• 15:29
  with me at nine, 10 o 'clock to talk to a customer.
• 15:32
  And I'm talking about our molecular biologists,
• 15:35
  our doctors, all of our leaders, all about. Anything
• 15:39
  that they could possibly want to know about our
• 15:41
  customers is available. And we work with our
• 15:44
  customers to help them understand what to expect
• 15:48
  and how the products are going to interact with
• 15:50
  them. Right. Great. So this question, what benefits
• 15:55
  have been most meaningful in your own experience?
• 15:59
  And how do you separate personal testimony from
• 16:02
  a promise about someone else's experience? I
• 16:07
  think for me personally. As a cancer survivor,
• 16:10
  I had colon cancer. I'm very careful about what
• 16:14
  I put in my body. And so two of the things that
• 16:19
  are important to me as far as benefit is my energy
• 16:24
  level. As you age, your energy level does drop.
• 16:27
  You'd want to stay energetic. And the other thing
• 16:30
  is regularity. One of our products works with
• 16:34
  the gut biome and the gut -brain connection.
• 16:38
  Ever since I've been taking the products, I'm
• 16:42
  a regular girl. And that has been the energy
• 16:46
  level. And that has been the most noticeable
• 16:50
  improvement for me. I would say that it really
• 16:54
  depends on what your nutritional needs are, where
• 16:59
  your deficits are, where you need to improve
• 17:02
  at the functional level of your body. Everybody
• 17:06
  is going to have different. success or different
• 17:11
  levels of noticeable changes. You can read the
• 17:15
  testimonials, but everybody is different. So
• 17:20
  you may be taking the same supplements that I'm
• 17:23
  taking, and you may find that, oh, I am so much
• 17:27
  more flexible. Somebody else who is very flexible
• 17:30
  might not see a big difference in their flexibility,
• 17:33
  but somebody who maybe struggles with that. we'll
• 17:38
  see an improvement. It's really very personal.
• 17:40
  It's very one -on -one. And we do ask all of
• 17:44
  our customers if they could let us know at 90,
• 17:48
  180, and 360 days, what kind of improvements
• 17:51
  they've seen, if they've seen steady improvement,
• 17:54
  or if suddenly they just have all this energy
• 17:57
  they never knew they had. They're not drinking
• 17:59
  as much coffee. So I think it's very individual.
• 18:03
  And actually, I have a friend who has just recently
• 18:06
  began taking purga, and his doctors told him
• 18:11
  to drink the green stuff and all this green medicine.
• 18:14
  And once he started taking purga, his energy
• 18:18
  level increased twofold. And he actually called
• 18:21
  me and said, what's going on? I have all this
• 18:24
  energy. And that's just one of the perks of purga.
• 18:27
  But when a personal relationship also becomes
• 18:30
  a business conversation, What boundaries help
• 18:34
  ensure that trust is protected and no one feels
• 18:38
  pressured? We do not pressure. We are not into
• 18:44
  the sales pitchy thing. What we want to do is
• 18:48
  we want to build relationships with our customers.
• 18:51
  We make sure that they're comfortable, that we're
• 18:54
  comfortable. And normally, we don't even really
• 18:58
  have to promote in a marketing sense. our products,
• 19:04
  because all we have to do is share with our friends,
• 19:07
  our relatives, our neighbors, and the people
• 19:11
  that we know and meet and network with what a
• 19:14
  great product it is. And once they learn about
• 19:16
  the company, the standards that we work with
• 19:20
  our products, the standards that we expect from
• 19:23
  our employees, our members, they get intrigued
• 19:26
  and they always say. Tell me more about it. And
• 19:30
  I could talk for hours about our products because
• 19:32
  I love our products. They're just the top of
• 19:35
  the industry. And I really think we're changing
• 19:37
  the wellness industry because we are addressing
• 19:41
  health at the foundational level. We want people
• 19:45
  to be strong so that when they do get sick or
• 19:50
  ill or have an accident, that their body is...
• 19:55
  the foundational health is so good that their
• 19:58
  body can react quickly and they can recover faster.
• 20:01
  That would be the goal instead of just saying,
• 20:04
  oh, I have this deficiency. I'm going to take
• 20:08
  zinc and expect your body to feel better. It's
• 20:12
  unrealistic. So that is our goal within our company.
• 20:16
  And I also tell them about the company itself,
• 20:22
  what the company is made of and how our members
• 20:27
  feel about helping people, not only physically,
• 20:31
  but also one of our core values is radical generosity.
• 20:36
  And we give every one of our members and every
• 20:40
  one of our customers the opportunity to donate
• 20:43
  what we call a Perga Pack. And that Perga Pack
• 20:46
  is nutritional food that will feed a child for
• 20:51
  one month for $35. And included in with that
• 20:57
  food, which is made from indigenous foods that
• 21:01
  are available at that particular location on
• 21:04
  the globe. We also include an antiparasitic so
• 21:08
  that children that are not getting access to
• 21:10
  clean water can absorb the nutrition in our food
• 21:14
  better. Our goal is to feed a thousand children
• 21:18
  for a year. And we are more than halfway through
• 21:21
  that this year already. So we're very proud of
• 21:24
  that. And we hope that our customers will take
• 21:27
  advantage of that and help those who need it.
• 21:33
  Good. How should someone respond when a friend
• 21:36
  or professional contact is skeptical, not only
• 21:40
  of Perga, but the wellness and relationship -based
• 21:44
  business industries in general? There's a lot
• 21:49
  of misinformation out there. And that is why
• 21:52
  one of our main goals is education. and transparency
• 21:57
  because you don't know sometimes. It might tell
• 22:02
  you what's in it, but if you don't understand
• 22:06
  and they're not clear about what the benefit
• 22:07
  is or the reason why those ingredients are in
• 22:10
  that supplement, it's not helping you. You don't
• 22:13
  know. You know what you're taking, but you don't
• 22:16
  know what it's doing. You also don't know where
• 22:19
  it's from, where it was packaged, where it was
• 22:22
  processed. If it's trademarked, if it's certified,
• 22:26
  you don't know any of that because the supplement
• 22:29
  industry is not very regulated by the government
• 22:33
  right now. So what you need to look for are those
• 22:38
  certifications. Call the company, find out where
• 22:43
  their clinical trials are, find out who did the
• 22:46
  research. Was it tested? First party tested,
• 22:50
  second party tested, third party tested. Did
• 22:52
  they test it on animals? Did they test it on
• 22:55
  humans? You need to find that information out.
• 22:59
  We tell you all of that information. So you know
• 23:02
  what our process is. You know what, that you're
• 23:06
  getting the optimal dosage of each of those ingredients.
• 23:10
  Our core green, which is a chlorella based. product
• 23:16
  that you take at night that helps you to detox
• 23:18
  and your cells to regenerate while you're sleeping
• 23:21
  has over 40 vitamins and minerals in it and an
• 23:24
  antioxidant. So it's all listed for you and you
• 23:29
  can see it right, everything on the, what you
• 23:32
  can't see on the package, you can see on the
• 23:34
  website. So we encourage education. We encourage
• 23:37
  transparency and we tell you whatever it is you're
• 23:40
  taking, you've got to know what's going in your
• 23:42
  body. You've got to be proactive about your health.
• 23:45
  And I know it takes time, but your health is
• 23:49
  everything. Your health is, it's key to your
• 23:52
  existence and your longevity. And I think that
• 23:56
  most people don't know how to find the information
• 23:59
  because companies are not very transparent about
• 24:03
  what's in their products. Absolutely. I can't
• 24:08
  agree with you more. You had said earlier that
• 24:11
  Pergant doesn't have its official launch. until
• 24:15
  2027. You're selling all the products and everything.
• 24:18
  It's as if they've already launched, but it's
• 24:22
  building a community before its official launch.
• 24:26
  What kind of culture should its early leaders
• 24:30
  create now if they want people to feel respected,
• 24:34
  informed, and valued later on? They're doing
• 24:39
  it all. Being a part of this company is like
• 24:43
  no other company I've ever been involved with
• 24:45
  in my career. I can reach out to anyone in the
• 24:49
  company. I can call the founder of our company
• 24:52
  who started the whole thing and he will get on
• 24:56
  a call with me and he will help me or answer
• 24:58
  questions or any concerns that I might have.
• 25:02
  My uplines, they help me when I don't know what
• 25:04
  to tell a person, I'll talk to them. They'll
• 25:07
  say, hey, let's get on a three -way call with
• 25:08
  your customer. And I'll explain this and I'll
• 25:12
  help you get this because when one of us succeeds,
• 25:14
  the company succeeds and we're growing together
• 25:17
  and we're growing so fast. Amazing. We started
• 25:21
  accepting customers in September and from September
• 25:27
  to now. two months, we've done over a million
• 25:32
  dollars in sales. We have just grown exponentially.
• 25:36
  We're constantly updating our formulations to
• 25:39
  make them better and better. And it's just an
• 25:43
  amazing thing to see. It's an amazing thing to
• 25:45
  see. And there's so many ways for you to share
• 25:48
  this and get the word out and help people get
• 25:51
  healthy and people that want to join the company
• 25:54
  and use it as a vehicle to make residual income.
• 25:59
  And they would do that through you? They can
• 26:02
  do that through me, yeah. They would just have
• 26:05
  to get in touch with you? Start the process.
• 26:07
  And a lot of our members that are starting now,
• 26:11
  that are new to the company, they became members
• 26:14
  because they started taking the products and
• 26:16
  they loved them so much they wanted to become
• 26:18
  a part of the company. So I think that speaks
• 26:20
  very highly of the products themselves. But yes,
• 26:23
  I can be reached on my email, which is april
• 26:27
  .perga. at gmail .com. You can reach me by phone.
• 26:32
  My number is 845 -536 -1877. Or you can go to
• 26:41
  Perga itself if you want to do research prior
• 26:44
  to that and then reach out to me. I'm on LinkedIn.
• 26:47
  I'm on Instagram. I'm on Facebook. So you can
• 26:51
  reach me through any of those vehicles. I would
• 26:55
  love to help anybody learn about the product.
• 26:58
  You had mentioned that your leaders, your upline
• 27:01
  or the leader of the company, would answer all
• 27:05
  these questions. What responsibility does a leader
• 27:08
  have to encourage people to ask difficult questions
• 27:12
  about the ingredients, research, safety, cost,
• 27:17
  and business expectations before making a decision?
• 27:22
  We have live overview meetings for our company.
• 27:27
  We usually have five to six of them a week. And
• 27:32
  every Monday night, we have a team meeting. We
• 27:36
  discuss these things. And on Wednesday, our founder,
• 27:41
  James, he leads an overview meeting that talks
• 27:47
  about the company, the products, and anybody
• 27:50
  that wants to join that meeting. is welcome to
• 27:54
  join that meeting. They would have to get in
• 27:56
  touch with myself or another person that is a
• 28:00
  member of the community. And I could send them
• 28:04
  a link to join a live meeting, an overview meeting
• 28:09
  about the company and the products. We talk about
• 28:11
  compensation. We talk about products. We talk
• 28:14
  about ingredients. We have guests. We have guests
• 28:17
  for some of our other founding partners that
• 28:19
  will speak. We have an open chat forum where
• 28:23
  you can come on and ask questions and he will
• 28:26
  answer the questions. And we celebrate all of
• 28:31
  the successes in our company. The whole company
• 28:34
  celebrates. And that's one of the things I love
• 28:37
  about it. It's that sense of community and belonging.
• 28:41
  Great. All right. So let's bring this podcast
• 28:43
  full circle. If Paragon succeeds far beyond selling
• 28:49
  products or growing a network. What lasting change
• 28:53
  do you hope it creates in families, communities,
• 28:56
  and the way people care for one another? Since
• 29:01
  our core principles are faith, family, and community,
• 29:06
  that is so strongly engraved in our whole philosophy
• 29:10
  of our company that we hope that the people who
• 29:15
  are involved with the company are successful
• 29:18
  financially. They have more time to spend with
• 29:21
  their family because they're not tied to a desk
• 29:24
  job. We hope that they can achieve the things
• 29:27
  that they want to achieve. It all comes down
• 29:30
  to family and community. And as a community,
• 29:33
  we support each other in that. And so many friendships
• 29:35
  have been made through the company and through
• 29:37
  their involvement with the company. And we want
• 29:40
  our customers. To maybe join the company if they're
• 29:44
  happy with the product, if they believe in the
• 29:46
  whole principle to make people healthier. If
• 29:50
  we can make foundational health a critical component
• 29:56
  of someone's life, it's so beneficial to them
• 30:00
  in so many ways. And that makes me so happy because
• 30:04
  I know what. What's important to me is being
• 30:07
  able to spend time with my family for as long
• 30:10
  as I can. My children, my grandchildren, even
• 30:14
  you, Michael. That's my goal. My goal is never
• 30:21
  to be a burden to my family. And in order to
• 30:26
  do that, I have to be healthy. That's great.
• 30:30
  April. This was so great. I can probably talk
• 30:33
  to you for another two hours about Perga because
• 30:36
  you were so knowledgeable about your products.
• 30:39
  But let me ask you a question. If somebody wanted
• 30:42
  to get hold of you, either to try the products,
• 30:46
  to see what the company's about, or to become
• 30:48
  a legacy member, how would they get in touch
• 30:51
  with you? By email. My email's april .perga,
• 30:58
  P -E -R -G -A, at gmail .com. or you can call
• 31:03
  me and leave a message at 845 -536 -1877. And
• 31:11
  if you can't reach me, you can probably reach
• 31:13
  out to Michael and he'll give you a way for you
• 31:16
  to contact me. Okay. Or even reach out on Instagram.
• 31:21
  Find me on Instagram or on LinkedIn. I'm there.
• 31:26
  You're always there. Okay. Today we learned that
• 31:30
  becoming involved with a wellness company is
• 31:33
  not only about what it offers. It's also about
• 31:37
  why you believe in it, how responsibility, I'm
• 31:41
  sorry, how responsibly you communicate with its
• 31:44
  potential benefits and whether your actions protect
• 31:47
  the relationships behind every conversation.
• 31:51
