Karen Kenney: It's the Karen Kenney show. Hey, you guys!
0:04
Welcome to the Karen Kenney Show. I hope you're doing super
0:07
duper. I got to tell you, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm fresh
0:12
out of the shower, and fresh out of the shower, my hair's still
0:15
drying, and I'm feeling a little fresh. I'm feeling a little
0:22
sassy, a little sassy in the mouth right now. So I'm just
0:26
gonna dive into this sucker. You, you, you may have heard me
0:30
kind of talk about this topic before. It's definitely
0:35
something. Oh my god, this is just something that drives me a
0:40
little bit crazy about humans, and I don't want this all to be
0:44
like just an episode on on my pet peeves. Really, I just want
0:48
to use this as awareness. And remember, everything I say is
0:52
from my ears first. You know, everything I say is from my ears
0:55
too. So I'm not picking on anybody too much, but I am going
0:57
to tell you a little story where it might feel like I'm picking
1:01
on somebody, I'm just kind of using them as an example, but
1:05
this is just something that kind of grinds my gears, as they say.
1:09
So I think I'm just going to call this sucker. Like, stop
1:11
half-assing it. Just stop half-assing it. Stop half-assing
1:18
what, KK? You might say, stop half-assing your life. Stop
1:23
half-assing your work. Stop half-assing your relationships.
1:28
Stop half-assing your art. Like whatever you're doing, whatever
1:32
you're doing. I really do feel like look. If it's worth doing,
1:38
it's worth doing well. You know what I mean, and I get it. I get
1:43
it that there might be some little instances where you're
1:47
like, I was just throwing together a quick meal. I kind of
1:50
half-assed the meal. I just threw some lettuce in a bowl
1:52
with the whatever. That like use your common sense, right? Use
1:57
your common sense here. There's always exceptions to the rule.
2:02
There's always nuances, etc. But let's just kind of get into this
2:06
whole half-assing it because I remember being a kid and my
2:10
stepfather always, always telling us, right? You know,
2:14
don't half-ass shit. If you're gonna do it, do it right. That
2:17
was the big. If you're gonna do it, do it right. So it kind of,
2:21
it kind of like yeah, got programmed into me, kind of got
2:23
drilled into me, but it is a quality, right? I mean, there's
2:27
a lot of things. There's a lot of things my stepfather did not
2:30
fucking get right, but that was one of them. You know, teaching
2:33
us, teaching us to be not afraid of a little hard work, and
2:37
putting some care and attention into what we're doing, because
2:41
it's not necessarily about the thing, the the the half-assing
2:45
it isn't just about the thing you're doing, whether that's you
2:49
know writing something or cleaning something or creating
2:54
making something, whatever, right? It says something about
2:57
you, so that part's important, and we'll come back to it. But
3:00
that phrase "half-assing it, you know, it sounds like it would be
3:03
kind of a current phrase. It would be a word that didn't
3:09
exist until maybe like the 60s, the 70s, whatever. But this
3:13
sucker has been around. I found examples of as far back as like
3:17
1863, 1863, Somebody wrote the word half-assing it, and they
3:24
were using it to describe a general during a time of war.
3:28
And some of the people say didn't come on the scene until
3:31
like 1932. But when you look it up in the dictionary, there's
3:36
all kinds of different ways that it gets described. And I listen,
3:39
you guys. When I run down these words, when I run down these
3:41
words, I want you to like fine tune, fine tune your ears,
3:47
because I don't think any of us ever want to be referred to in
3:51
this way. I don't think any of us ever want to be called or
3:54
associated with the words I'm about to say. So half ass
3:58
meaning mediocre. Oh my God! Who wants to be mediocre? There
4:03
might be some things where you're like, yeah, I'm a
4:05
mediocre bola, and you're like, fine. But we're talking about if
4:09
things matter, like important things, mediocre, insignificant,
4:15
inadequate, ineffective, incompetent, incompetent. not
4:24
serious, right? I was just like, oh my god, like I don't want to
4:28
be described in any of those ways, and hopefully you don't
4:32
either.
4:33
Now I know sometimes it's funny that word, like, hey, he's like
4:36
half-assed, and I half-ass the job, right? Nobody wants
4:40
half-assing. Everybody wants. Somebody once said to me, "Does
4:43
that mean people want full-assing? Like I don't know.
4:45
Maybe there's a better way to say that. But last little
4:49
etymology thing I'll tell you is that somebody once said that the
4:53
word half-assing it could have been a humorous mispronunciation
4:59
of the word half. Right, you can see how it might. If you think,
5:03
look at the spelling and the way that it is said, like haphazard,
5:06
you can see how it might be like half-assing. You know what I
5:08
mean? But here's the thing: this is why it's been on my mind and
5:12
on my heart. So I was recently, a friend of mine was out of
5:16
town, and I was watching their business for them. I was kind of
5:20
like you know, quote unquote. We'll call it quote unquote
5:23
manning the desk, right? Like I was representing. I was holding
5:26
down the fort, as I like to say. I was holding down the fort in
5:28
their absence, and while I was there, like you know, different
5:32
people were coming in for like different things, and this one
5:35
service worker came in, and they were in the building and doing
5:41
they were let's just put it this way they're a window washer
5:44
that's what I'm comfortable saying they were a window washer
5:47
and the guy comes in and he's in the window and he's got his
5:52
little bucket and he's got his squeegees and he's got his he's
5:55
got his little towel and stuff like that right the water the
5:58
cleanser whatever you know what else he had, though, you guys?
6:07
You know what else he had? He had a shitty attitude. That's
6:09
what he had. His his dissatisfaction, whether it was
6:15
with the day. I mean, it was a gorgeous day out. It was wicked
6:18
sunny. I don't know. I could have a problem with the weather.
6:20
Whatever that was going on, that was not a happy man. That was
6:23
not a happy person. And this dude came in, and he's in. He's
6:27
cleaning the window, and I'm like looking at the setup, and
6:30
I'm immediately clocking like three ways where this can go
6:33
wrong. I'm like, he could step on this, trip on this. So I say
6:36
to him, "Would you like me to move that for you? Yeah, yeah.
6:42
If you could, yeah. If you could, that that you know, yeah,
6:45
that'd be good. Not yes. Thank you. Appreciate it. Like
6:50
nothing. Just like attitude, you know. And I was like, wow, this
6:53
is so not soothing. And like, let me say this. Let me say
6:59
this. If you're somebody that's going to come to my house and
7:02
work on anything, whether you're pumping my septic, fixing the
7:06
sink, changing the filters on the water filtration system,
7:10
cleaning the frigging fireplace, whatever's happening, I'm
7:13
usually right there watching and asking a bunch of questions.
7:18
Now, I'm not saying that's not annoying to the practitioner,
7:23
but I really do it out of genuine curiosity. I am
7:26
fascinated by people who do jobs that I don't do. I'm fascinated
7:30
by people who have knowledge that I don't have, and I like to
7:34
learn new things. And I like to find out about the people who
7:36
are doing the work. Right. So hopefully, I don't get in
7:40
people's way. I try not to get in their way. I try not to be a
7:43
pain in the ass. And I always say to them, if I'm bugging you,
7:46
just tell me to scram, beat it, you know. But I usually like to
7:50
hang around and like clog, like watch what people are doing,
7:54
because I'm fascinated by things and people and life in general.
7:58
So I'm watching this guy like clean the windows, and I'm just
8:03
thinking to myself, like really, like really, dude. And he's
8:07
dripping water on the floor, and the pots that he sees, he wipes
8:12
out, but he leaves a bunch of other shit behind. And just like
8:16
across the board, shitty attitude, sub par, half-assing
8:21
at work, and I was just not impressed.
8:24
And you know, through our conversation, because I engaged
8:29
him a couple of times to try and like, you know, I was trying to
8:32
be not only friendly but say, hey, is anything else I can do
8:35
to make this easier for you, whatever? Because I could tell
8:38
he was having a bad day, and I was like, I don't know if this
8:40
is a permanent state of mind, I don't know if this is a
8:42
personality flaw. I don't know what this guy's deal is, but I I
8:47
try not to judge people on one interaction because here's the
8:51
thing. You know what I can a bad attitude because I don't know
8:54
his life story. I don't know what he's going through.
8:56
Whatever that day, I can usually forgive that. I'm like, yeah,
9:00
person's having a bad day. Chalk it up to a bad day. That's one
9:04
thing. Your tone of voice, your energy level might be low. You
9:07
don't make eye contact. All that stuff I can handle. But when
9:11
somebody is paying you, and look, unless you're a wicked
9:16
Richie Richie like Richie Rich, you know, remember that cartoon
9:18
Richie Rich? Unless you're like a super duper richy rich these
9:21
days. Every penny counts. It's hot out there right now. It's
9:25
hot out there. Gas is like 14, 418 a fucking gallon at the
9:31
pump. Groceries are like so expensive. Everything is going
9:35
up except people's you know wages. You know what I'm saying?
9:39
The expenses are expensing, but the income is not growing. The
9:43
income is kind of staying the same for a lot of people. It's
9:46
rough out there, and so you know. In by and large, a lot of
9:50
my friends and people that I know, they're wicked hard
9:52
workers. So if somebody is going to be paying you, they're not
9:57
just paying you to half ask. The gig, you know what I'm saying?
10:02
We we should be able to expect a certain level of effort, a
10:08
certain level of care, especially when you're done that
10:11
job. You're gonna turn around and you're gonna hand me an
10:15
invoice that you expect to be paid. Well, I'm looking at the
10:19
windows and I'm like, I literally had to stop myself.
10:23
Number one, I'm like, this isn't my business, so I don't want to
10:27
sour this relationship between the the business owner and and
10:31
the person. But at the same time, I'm watching and I'm
10:36
looking up, and these top windows had not been done in a
10:39
while, and and because I was like somebody was there, like
10:44
not he wasn't just doing the outside. He was able to come in
10:46
and do the windows. I was so excited. I'm like, oh, he's
10:49
finally because I knew that the windows hadn't been done. I'm
10:51
like, oh, he's gonna get the top thing. It's gonna be so great.
10:53
And as he's finishing up, and as he's done, and as he's writing
10:56
with his attitude, with his pen and his attitude, and he's
10:58
writing down like something for me to put the invoices and give
11:02
the thing to my friend who owns the business. I'm looking up,
11:05
and all I can see through the windows, because the sunlight is
11:07
coming in, is all these streaks, just like all these streaks. And
11:12
there was a part of me that was just like, why is that okay for
11:17
you? Like, why is that level of craftsmanship okay for you?
11:24
Like, did you check your work? Did you look and see? Like,
11:28
because, dude, you're letting whatever is going on inside of
11:32
you right now affect externally the kind of work that you're
11:36
doing, and the reason why it kind of pained me, on top of the
11:41
level that, like, it was almost as if this person didn't give a
11:45
shit, and we're gonna get into that. What that says personally
11:49
sometimes, or how people can view that. What also bothered me
11:54
about it is that there's no way that I would ever recommend that
11:59
guy, and I thought to myself, if another business owner that I
12:02
know needed like their windows cleaned or whatever, I now know
12:06
this this business's name, and I would never ever ever ever ever
12:10
recommend this person because I've seen their quality of work,
12:13
I've seen their quality of care, I've experienced their attitude.
12:17
Like I said, the attitude I can get it.
12:19
Like we all have bad days, but I was like the fact that you're
12:22
like, the fact that you're coming in here, and you're kind
12:26
of making a mess, and you're kind of just like slamming
12:29
things around, and you're not making an effort to do the best
12:34
because if that's the best job that you could do, you should
12:36
not be a window washer. That's all I'm gonna say, you know. And
12:40
so here's the thing, I believe this. When half-assing it
12:46
becomes okay with you, when your attitude becomes like, "Yeah,
12:52
whatever, that's good enough. Granted, there will be times,
12:57
right, when duct tape is the answer. There are gonna be, of
13:02
course, certain situations where the half-ass is all you can do
13:07
because you have a lack of resources, you have a lack of
13:11
skill, a lack of time, whatever. You're just crossing your
13:14
fingers and hoping the duct tape sticks till it gets you to the
13:17
thing. You put the mini ha ha wheel on when the when the
13:20
full-size tire breaks down and you don't have a backup tire,
13:24
you put on the little one and you cross your fingers and you
13:26
hope you can get to the gas station or back home safely or
13:29
whatever. I get it. We don't all have the sometimes the luxury,
13:35
right, or the resources to do it the way we would want to do it.
13:39
It's a wing and a prayer. We recycle, we upcycle, we you know
13:42
we repair what we have. I just sewed one of my sweetie shirts
13:46
yesterday, right? I've sewed this thing like four times in
13:48
the past, and we both love the shirt. And I'm like, all right,
13:50
sweetie, I think we've come to the place where this is going to
13:53
be the last time I repair this. After this, it's going to have
13:55
to be recycled. You know, we're going to do something with it.
13:58
But I get it, right? Sometimes with your resources, you got to
14:02
do what you got to do. But what you don't have to do is a
14:04
half-ass job with your craft, with the thing that you do for a
14:10
living. Like, why be shitty at your job? Why not have like what
14:16
I consider to have your own code? And we can look at having
14:20
a code. I want to do a whole episode about having a code. I'm
14:24
just going to briefly touch on it here, but we got to have our
14:27
own code, which means don't we want our work to reflect our own
14:33
level not only of care for the customer or the client, but also
14:38
our own self respect, our own self integrity, right? Like I'm
14:45
like, there are gonna be days. Let's say like you're you're
14:48
working out, right? Like I'm I'm you know strength training, da
14:51
da da da, three days a week, blah blah blah. The only person
14:54
it hurts, right? If I half-ass my workout is me. That's. On me,
15:00
that's a decision that I make, and I'm like, I don't have the,
15:03
you know, I don't have the energy. I do not have the whoop
15:06
ass in the can today. I'm feeling run down. I'm feeling
15:09
tired, but I'm going to give it my best, right? Sometimes your
15:11
best might not be good enough, but at least the effort is
15:14
there. At least you cared enough to like do it. But when somebody
15:18
is paying you with their hard-earned money, with their
15:23
possibly limited resources, but they need your skill set. Why
15:27
wouldn't you want to go above and beyond? Why wouldn't you?
15:30
You know why most people don't do it because there's a lack of
15:34
self-not just integrity, but there's a lack of
15:40
Self-management. You have to be able to manage the moment. You
15:47
have to be able to pull your shit together and be like, "I'm
15:50
about to walk into this business right now. It doesn't matter
15:53
that I had a, I don't know, a fight with my sweetie. Doesn't
15:57
matter that I had a bad night's sleep. It doesn't matter that
16:00
maybe you know I'm not feeling great, but whatever the thing
16:03
is, right? And trust me, I get it, right? Sometimes people are
16:08
sick. Some people sometimes people don't feel good, and they
16:11
still have to go to their job because they got to make rent
16:13
and put food on the table. I'm not saying that. I get it.
16:15
We all have bad days, but if consistently your attitude is
16:20
shitty, and consistently your quality of work is not up to
16:24
par. If it's half-assed, then you might want to choose to go
16:29
work somewhere else. I've known people who have maybe been in
16:34
jobs or gigs or whatever where other people would be like,
16:38
"That's the last gig that I would ever want. Whatever it is,
16:41
I I don't want to even mention a particular job because I I just
16:44
think if you're a hard worker and you're putting in the time
16:47
and the effort and you're trying to get paid, God bless you, man.
16:50
You know what I'm saying? But there are some things where
16:52
people might be like, oh my God, they do that job. How could they
16:55
be? I'm like, to me, when somebody is doing, especially
16:59
like a blue collar job or a hard working job or whatever, a
17:04
manual labor job, and they do it with a smile on their face. They
17:09
do it with genuine curiosity and care for the people that they're
17:12
serving and the work that they're doing. Oh my God, I have
17:15
such deep respect for that. I have so much admiration and
17:19
respect for that. And I-that's how I was raised. And I try to
17:23
right a lot of again, as I said, a lot of things in my childhood
17:26
didn't go well. But that had working attitude and giving a
17:30
shit and doing your best and trying to show up to your best
17:33
potential. And look, we all fall short sometimes. Every single
17:36
one of us, because we're human. We're not robots. We're not
17:39
perfect. We're not fucking little AI bots, right? We have
17:42
feelings, we have moods, we have bodies. We like sometimes have
17:45
diarrhea, sometimes we're crampy, sometimes we're
17:48
exhausted, sometimes we're whatever, right? I get it. This
17:52
being human is not easy, but what I'm saying is we should all
17:57
have our own kind of code of conduct and what we're willing
18:01
to do, and like meaning like the level of care that we want to
18:05
show, and it bummed me out for that guy because I now I'm like
18:09
I can't in good conscience and not that not like look it's not
18:12
like everybody's running to me and asking me like do you have a
18:15
guy who washes windows but if it were to ever come up there's no
18:19
way in good faith I could recommend that person. I just
18:22
wouldn't do it, and that's too bad, right? Because that's
18:26
potential lost business. But more importantly, I was like,
18:29
why don't you give a shit about what you're doing and what
18:34
you're leaving behind? And you guys know, if you listen to this
18:37
podcast, the thing I say at the end of every episode is
18:40
basically like: Can we just leave each other? Can we leave
18:43
the animals and the people and ourselves and the planet and the
18:46
environment and the situation like better? Can the thing be
18:50
better for you having been there? Can you leave things and
18:54
people better? Because if you can't, like, what are you doing?
18:58
Like, take a look at that. Do you know what I'm saying? And
19:01
this is a call, like I said, for all of us, right? Because when
19:06
you half-ass it and you start to normalize half-assing it in one
19:11
area, it can have like a trickle effect, right? It can have that
19:16
trickle effect. That little bit of poison can spread, and it
19:19
starts to get easier to make excuses in other areas, you
19:23
know. And also, the other thing I would say: this is another
19:26
tricky, tricky thing to look out for. If you're willing to go
19:30
above and beyond for everybody else in your work and other
19:33
people, but you make yourself last and you do like a shitty,
19:36
half-assed job for your own mental health or the quality of
19:40
the food that you eat, or the rest that you're getting, like
19:43
if like why, like why don't half ask yourself either, don't half
19:48
ass your dreams, your life, your work, your art, your
19:52
relationships. And I know it's hard, you guys. I know people
19:56
were all exhausted, aren't we? Aren't we all just a. Little
20:00
fucking tired right now, right? It's like I could turn on this
20:06
mic. What episode is this? Like 383 or whatever. I've been doing
20:09
this for like over seven years.
20:10
It's like I could just be like, ah, fuck it. I'm just gonna dial
20:13
it. I'm just gonna like phone it in. I'm just gonna half ass it.
20:16
It's like no, and I don't even get paid for this. I lose money
20:20
having a podcast for Christ's sakes, but if I'm gonna do
20:23
something, I'm gonna really try to pour my hat into it, you
20:27
know, because that's the key that I kind of want. It's like
20:31
occurring to me as I'm saying it out loud. When you're
20:34
half-assing it, another way to say that is to half-hat it.
20:40
You're half hotting it, and I don't want half-hatted anything.
20:47
Yeah, I made you this meal, but I half-hatted it. Yeah, I'm
20:56
teaching this yoga class, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna half-ass
20:59
it. I'm gonna half-hat it. It's like what I'm gonna I'm gonna
21:02
hold right club, but can you imagine? Can you imagine like
21:07
showing up, paying money to a workshop where the person just
21:09
is like unprepared and they don't give a shit and they're
21:12
just like whatever? Or imagine me doing like a Thai yoga
21:14
massage where I'm just doing like sloppy work and I'm not
21:18
paying attention and I don't give a shit about the quality of
21:20
the experience-it's like, are you out of your mind? Oh my god!
21:26
But look, a lot of people normalize this. We normalize the
21:31
half-assing, and I don't want to do it. And I don't want you
21:34
guys. I don't want my listeners to do that. I want you. This is
21:38
like my desire for you. You know, I talked about this once
21:43
before, where I said to somebody, I walked into their
21:46
space, and you know, when we got talking about like what was
21:50
going on, I said to them, like, why is this? Why have you made
21:54
this quality like okay for yourself? Like, don't you want
21:57
more for yourself? Don't you think you deserve more? This was
22:00
not a mean thing I was saying. P.S. By the way, this was a a
22:03
conversation we were you know both having. I wasn't being
22:05
mean. I wasn't being fresh, and I was like, "Don't you want
22:09
more? Because like I want more for you. And at the end of the
22:12
day, though, here's the thing: you're you're you're a spiritual
22:15
mentor, you're a coach, you're support team, you're whatever,
22:20
right? You're we can't we can't want more for you than you do.
22:25
You've got to also want it. You've also got to want it, and
22:29
how you show up in the world, and how you leave people, and
22:33
how you leave your jobs, and how you leave your work, and I mean
22:36
leave like what you leave behind after you give the invoice or
22:39
whatever. Like it matters because it's how you build a
22:44
reputation. It's how you build a name. And like I said, I know
22:48
sometimes we just have bad days. But if you are finding that you
22:51
are consistently half-assing it, consistently phoning it in,
22:56
consistently feeling like, oh, my hat is only half in this. Who
23:02
wants to be in any kind of relationship, transactional or
23:06
otherwise, where where one person is just my hat's only
23:10
half in it. So I want you to be full-headed with yourself and
23:16
your work, whatever you're creating, right? Whether you get
23:19
paid for it or not, but like your presence, your energy, your
23:23
attitude, your curiosity, your enthusiasm. Right? Let's stop
23:29
half-hatting it. Let's stop half-assing it, and let's let
23:32
let's full-ass. Let's go. Start to get a little punchy. Let's
23:39
let's full-ass it, right? Let's full asset. Let's full hot it,
23:43
and hopefully, hopefully, something I said today lands.
23:47
And you know, maybe it's something you needed to hear.
23:50
Maybe you've just been, like I said, dialing it in, phoning it
23:53
in, just kind of dragging ass and being like, whatever. But
23:56
let's go back to these words. This is important. Mediocre,
24:01
insignificant, inadequate, ineffective, incompetent,
24:05
incomplete, not serious, haphazard. I hope you never get
24:10
called any of those things. You or your craftsmanship. You or
24:14
your art. You or your work. Right. So that's it. Right.
24:19
Let's all do our best to have a level of effort, a level of
24:24
care, a level of love that we're pouring into a thing because
24:29
that's really what this is about. When you half-ass it and
24:32
you half-hearted, what you're doing is you're being stingy
24:35
with your love.
24:37
You're not tapping in to your fullest capacity, and again, I
24:43
know there's somebody out there saying, "But you don't
24:45
understand my situation. I'm exhausted. I'm caretaking. I'm
24:49
doing the. I understand this nuance to everything. Who this
24:54
message is right for? You'll know. You'll hear this, and
24:58
you'll go." Yeah, right. Like, yeah, maybe I want to. Right,
25:05
you're gonna. It's gonna land. You'll know. So if it doesn't,
25:07
if this isn't about you, then it's not about you. So that's
25:11
all I want to say because this is about really. This is about
25:15
really. It's about love and paying attention to our
25:19
craftsmanship. That is showing love, showing up full-heartedly.
25:24
That is showing love, not half-assing it. What half-assing
25:28
says basically is, I don't really give a shit. I don't
25:30
really care. And that's not how you're going to grow your
25:34
relationships. It's certainly not how you're going to grow
25:36
your business. So that's what I got for you guys today. Okay,
25:41
little little love note from my hat, from my hat to yours, and I
25:45
just appreciate you. If you're here, you can still hear the
25:47
sound of my voice. Thank you so much for tuning in and
25:49
listening. It's the beginning of September. I have all kinds of
25:52
shenanigans coming up in September. I have a right club
25:55
at the end of the month here in Concord, New Hampshire,
25:57
Saturday, September 26, from 12 to 4. You can remember
26:01
everything you can find@karenkenney.com online. I
26:05
have space for some Thai yoga massage clients, Thai yoga body
26:08
work clients this month. I would love to see some new people come
26:11
in. My old people are pretty consistent, right? My regulars
26:14
they come in. Some people weekly, some people monthly. So
26:18
that's fantastic. My yoga class is already sold out, but once in
26:23
a while somebody's vacationing or whatever in this room for a
26:25
drop-in. So you can always just hit me up and say, "Hey, any
26:28
room for a drop-in this week? Whatever, and of course the nest
26:31
is ongoing. The nest is there, and you can again, you can find
26:34
it all on KarenKenney.com. Just look up at the header. You'll
26:38
see all the stuff, right? Yoga, bodywork, Thai yoga, right club,
26:43
all the stuff. Okay, so just thank you for tuning in. I
26:46
appreciate you. I hope you enjoyed your labor day and that
26:50
you're having. And that's the other thing too. It's great
26:52
timing, right? It's great timing that this is labor day. A lot of
26:55
respect for people who labor. A lot of respect, right, for for
26:59
the people who labor, and especially you know, being a
27:01
blue collar kid from Lawrence, Mass, I have a soft spot in my
27:05
heart for hard workers and people who care about the
27:08
quality of their work. So, little love letter from from
27:11
from me to all the blue collar workers out there too. Okay, you
27:15
guys have a fantastic rest of your day wherever you go. May
27:18
you leave the animals and the planet and the other people,
27:22
excuse me, and yourself and the environment better than how you
27:25
found it. Wherever you go, may you and your love and your
27:30
energy and your presence and your attitude and your your full
27:35
heartedness, right? Your haughtiness may it be a
27:39
blessing. Bye. Hey, thanks so much for listening to the show.

27:47
