• 1:00
  And I came up with so many great ideas and I'm so happy to bring this show with
• 1:06
  all the new stuff here for super September.
• 1:09
  We're going to go over it and we're going to talk about it. And we're going
• 1:12
  to talk about so much other stuff because believe me in these past few weeks,
• 1:16
  um, there's been so much going on and so much on my mind, so much I want to
• 1:21
  talk about. And that's why I'm so happy to have a podcast.
• 1:23
  And I'm so happy to have listeners like you guys.
• 1:26
  Now this is not only super September, but this is another one of those historic
• 1:30
  episodes where unfortunately Hannah is not with me.
• 1:33
  As you know, when podcasting world, this is all pre-recorded.
• 1:36
  So this is actually being recorded at the end of August and Hannah's away on vacation.
• 1:42
  So the great news is I have our co-host Brittany stepping in,
• 1:48
  stepping up, and we appreciate that so much. Brittany, how are you doing?
• 1:53
  I'm good. How are you today? Hey, I am doing good. I'm exhausted.
• 1:58
  I got so much on my mind. There's been so much going on. And I know you're gonna
• 2:02
  pull it all out of me. But first.
• 2:05
  For September, Super September, the really cool thing is Eye Opener Society
• 2:09
  has picked up another sponsor.
• 2:12
  And what's really cool about this is the same like when we did Reaper Apparel,
• 2:18
  we still support reaperapparel.com, but now we got a new one.
• 2:23
  Okay. And this one's pretty exciting and I'm going to try my best to do a live
• 2:28
  spot for them because it's something different and it's something unique.
• 2:31
  And I thought it would be really good.
• 2:33
  Again, you could go to a website, site, buy the product, and then put in one of our codes.
• 2:38
  And this time you get 20% off your entire order.

• 2:45
  That's Good Feels. All right. And if you go to shop.goodfeels.com,
• 2:50
  you'll see what they're about.
• 2:52
  Most of you know about these here, alcoholic seltzers that are out there.
• 2:56
  They have the different flavors and their alcohol, but so many people don't
• 3:00
  want that hangover. They don't want the alcohol. Some people are trying to quit alcohol.
• 3:05
  But how do you sit, drink, and relax? Well, Good Feels has a solution.
• 3:11
  These are seltzers, and they are infused with THC.
• 3:17
  Welcome to cannabis, folks. I'm telling you, I was so excited about this product. I'm so amazed by it.
• 3:23
  And I think you guys got to try it out. So at at least go
• 3:25
  to the website shop.goodfeels.com and
• 3:29
  they have a few flavors out they got blood orange pineapple
• 3:33
  mango grapefruit and then they have the mix pack and then if you have a drink
• 3:39
  on your own they actually have the flavorless enhancers so you can actually
• 3:43
  take whatever drink you have even if you got plain salsa and you put this stuff
• 3:48
  in there and it's infused now with thc This is a great way to relax.
• 3:53
  It's got to be much healthier than alcohol, which tears you up and then you

  she pulled so you could actually see the cards for your birth signs.
• 5:35
  And again, Elaine is going to be with us on the first of every month again with

  We also have Sunset Child coming up at some point. I'm waiting for the audio
• 5:55
  on this one. It's going to be out there.
• 5:58
  Sunset Child's Out There podcast. If you're into all the UFOs,
• 6:02
  reptilians, flat earth, all
• 6:06
  these conspiracies and all, this girl's got pictures and amazing things.

  And I'm going to have to set up something again on Facebook to get her photographs out there and all.
• 6:16
  Sunset Child likes to remain in the background. She don't want to use a real name or anything.
• 6:21
  And I appreciate that so much. But she's so full of knowledge.
• 6:25
  And I can't wait for this episode. And we're going to get it sometime this month in September.
• 6:29
  And then again on Halloween, we're going to have Ann Lund with her Haunted and Waiting blog podcast.
• 6:35
  Man, we are so set up.
• 6:38
  And then this brings me to Brittany. The whole reason why this came is because
• 6:43
  a while back, you know, Hannah and I spoke to you about doing your own podcast.
• 6:47
  And I know time's changing. And this is what we're going to get into tonight
• 6:50
  is, you know, all these things.
• 6:53
  Life basically gets in the way. And that's what Hannah and I show is about.
• 6:57
  And that's not changing.
• 6:58
  Eye Opener Society is going to stay the same. Every Monday, we're going to have
• 7:01
  our shows out, give you our podcast.
• 7:04
  That's not going to change. There's going to be a lot more positivity in our shows.
• 7:08
  Um you know just because you know we don't want to
• 7:10
  bring everything down because life does that anyway we're
• 7:13
  going to try and find ways to pick you up talking and you
• 7:17
  know just speaking about things sometimes help maybe it helps you and that's
• 7:20
  what we're hoping for and that's what we're hoping for with you there britney
• 7:23
  you know we wanted you to have a podcast and i know life is getting away is
• 7:26
  it not oh yes life has uh kind of rocked me this i was just thinking thinking,
• 7:34
  August is all but over.
• 7:37
  I honestly don't even know where it went at this point because it's been one
• 7:44
  of those times where it's like you blink and it's gone.
• 7:48
  Life has been keeping me on my toes these past few weeks. And, uh.
• 7:54
  It's interesting you brought up the tarot cards because I was just sitting here
• 7:59
  thinking like that would be something that I should do very soon just to kind
• 8:05
  of see what direction I'm going in.
• 8:07
  Because right now I feel like I'm going in 50 different directions and,
• 8:11
  you know, the rug, I'm still staying really positive, but I almost feel like
• 8:16
  the rug was pulled out from underneath me.
• 8:19
  And now I'm just trying to stand back up and figure out, all right, which way do I go?
• 8:23
  Um but i guess that's
• 8:27
  one really good thing is even with everything that's been
• 8:29
  going on i've been semi-positive with everything
• 8:33
  um happening it's it's just august was a whirlwind of a month um i ended july
• 8:44
  so excited kind of on a high and thinking about like you know the podcast cast and everything.
• 8:50
  And then it was like a couple of days into August, everything just got turned upside down.
• 8:56
  So it wasn't about having like a pity party either.
• 9:00
  It was like, how am I going to get through all of this?
• 9:04
  And I was just sitting here thinking, I see you almost every single day,
• 9:09
  but I really haven't even had the opportunity to like stop and talk to you recently
• 9:15
  because I've I've just been kind of my own little world living life.
• 9:22
  So how have you been?
• 9:25
  How was the past few weeks for you? How have you been feeling?
• 9:30
  I mean, I know, and I'm very sorry, you just had the loss of a loved one.
• 9:36
  So, you know, still sending very positive vibes to you and your family.
• 9:42
  But how have you been? How have you been feeling?
• 9:46
  Well, I have definitely been a mess. It's been a struggle.
• 9:51
  For those of you that have been following us on Facebook, you know a little bit about it.
• 9:56
  But as of the end of August here and going back over the past week,
• 10:02
  it really wasn't a loss of my family.
• 10:05
  But my beautiful wife, she lost her sister.
• 10:08
  And that really, I think, shook up the entire family.
• 10:14
  Family and i'm telling you it it's difficult because i know i don't really mention
• 10:20
  my wife too much because again she's a very private person but she is a true
• 10:24
  empath and she feels everything,
• 10:27
  she's very very in tune with the world which is never good when you're an empath
• 10:32
  because you get all those negative feelings and all but to lose her sister who
• 10:37
  is so young um it really shook her up. But I'm extremely proud of her.
• 10:43
  She's really handling it very well.
• 10:46
  But to feel those emotions and to be involved with that and all the tears and
• 10:50
  the support that I want to give her, that's been a struggle.
• 10:54
  It really has been. And Hannah too, at the same time, because this happened
• 10:57
  just before she was going on vacation.
• 10:59
  And then we had all the family staying here in the house and it was really,
• 11:03
  everything turned kind of upside down.
• 11:06
  And me, I'm kind of a private person myself i like to pull back and pull away
• 11:10
  because i don't want to get tied up in the emotions.
• 11:12
  Because i want to stay strong and so once everybody
• 11:15
  left the house and was uh and hannah and her husband are away on vacation and
• 11:21
  it's just my wife and i spending time together in the quiet house i'm taking
• 11:28
  those deep breaths now because yeah it was very hard emotionally it was just
• 11:32
  i I first time I say, I want to go to work,
• 11:35
  you know, which you'll never hear from my mouth ever,
• 11:39
  but I wanted to, because I had to get away.
• 11:41
  I had to escape the emotion and like anything, weddings and funerals,
• 11:46
  This always brings family drama and everything else into the mix.
• 11:49
  And there was a lot of, you know, stuff, drama that was involved in this too.
• 11:55
  And I'm doing well because I had to sit here and Hannah and I had the conversation
• 11:59
  about doing this podcast.
• 12:01
  And the last time we sat to do this show tonight that you and I are doing,
• 12:05
  we tried to, and I wasn't in the right frame of mind just because I was tired
• 12:10
  and exhausted from work.
• 12:11
  And then we were outgrowing our studio. or a new microphone just picking up
• 12:15
  every single sound and it was driving me crazy, so we canceled it.
• 12:18
  And we said, well, we'll just pick it up again.
• 12:19
  And we never could because then, you know, this loss happened.
• 12:24
  So then Hannah went on vacation and I was thinking, hey, maybe I shouldn't have, you know, a new show.
• 12:32
  But I had all these thoughts and all these ideas for Super September and I said,
• 12:35
  I have to bring it on because this is my passion. This is my relief.
• 12:39
  This is what I like to do. too. And even sitting here right now,
• 12:43
  I'm in a different frame of mind. I feel much better.
• 12:45
  And you know, I'm ready to answer any question. I'm ready to talk about anything
• 12:49
  again, because this is our show and it means a lot.
• 12:53
  And you're a part of it, too, as well. And I appreciate that.
• 12:57
  And I appreciate you being here, stepping up and filling in for Hannah's shoes.
• 13:01
  And Hannah will be back for the next episode.
• 13:04
  But yeah, I mean, there's a lot going on. And like I guess it has a lot I want
• 13:08
  to talk about. I want to try and squeeze it in as much as I can on this year episode.
• 13:12
  And we're going to spread it out for the rest of this month.
• 13:14
  A lot of things I want to talk about as far as positivity and trying to keep your head up.
• 13:19
  Because like you said, we don't really talk that much. And it's a shame.
• 13:24
  We're in the same, you know, office space basically.
• 13:28
  And we don't get that chance to sit and become friends.
• 13:33
  We lose that opportunity, especially with everything you've got going on in your life.
• 13:37
  It's difficult. You can't just put everything down and say, hey,
• 13:39
  yeah, I'm going to come over and hang out with you guys. And I get that.
• 13:43
  Times will change because right now I'm looking more forward to things like
• 13:48
  that because you realize, yeah, we all know life is short and you got to do
• 13:54
  the things you want to do.
• 13:57
  And you asked me how I've been all the other day. I had my breakdown because
• 14:01
  I don't want to go to work anymore. I seriously it's one of those things.
• 14:04
  Last couple of days, I get up in the morning and it's been really clear and
• 14:08
  I'm looking at, you know, man, I'm always looking at sky anyway. way.
• 14:11
  And I've been looking at it. I said, wow, with the planets aligning and all
• 14:14
  I liked, and I'm stepping outside my door in the morning.
• 14:17
  And I'm like, all I want to do is sit and look at the sky, but I got to go to work.
• 14:21
  All I want to do is sit with my wife and hold her a little bit longer,
• 14:25
  but I got to go to work and it's driving me crazy.
• 14:28
  It really is. And that's where the emotions are coming from.
• 14:31
  It's just, you can't do the things that you really want. And I'm trying Trying
• 14:36
  to get myself in a spot where I can.
• 14:39
  And I think a lot of people are in that position. Everybody feels we have to
• 14:43
  work. And we really do. Because I'm willing to make a statement.
• 14:46
  Dealing with. I don't really deal with very many funerals. And I have a whole
• 14:49
  different thought process on death.
• 14:52
  But I'll tell you right now. You need money to live.
• 14:56
  And you need money to die. This poor family. And I think that was the biggest emotion.
• 15:02
  They had it empty. Every dollar they had in savings. Thanks for watching!
• 15:07
  Just to have a small little service for their mother.
• 15:12
  And I find that disgusting, you know, it was a cremation, so that's usually cheaper.
• 15:17
  And that was really all it was. And to have them, you know, they had to set up a GoFundMe.
• 15:24
  And I think that's just sad, sad in life that we have to pay to live and we
• 15:29
  have to pay to die. I don't even think we should be paying to live.
• 15:32
  You know, we as human beings somewhere along the lines, fuck things up.
• 15:36
  I don't know where i don't know where we went wrong and i'm just blabbering
• 15:40
  here so oh no i definitely feel that weight like the to pay to live like i'm
• 15:47
  definitely feeling that weight on my shoulders especially right now i was like
• 15:51
  a single mom just trying to balance everything and,
• 15:54
  you know i'm actually the opposite of you as much as i was dreading it work
• 15:59
  was kind of my release least this past few weeks because I was so busy doing what I needed to do.
• 16:08
  Um, and somehow I had the craziest amount of patience to deal with one of my coworkers,
• 16:17
  um, and not get overwhelmed or stressed out, but it was just such a release.
• 16:24
  Cause I wasn't thinking about, all right, what, What is the end of the year,
• 16:29
  through the end of the year, going to look like for my son and I?
• 16:34
  Where will we be at? Are we going to be moving? When will we be moving?
• 16:40
  You've got holidays coming up. All those things and picking up a second job
• 16:45
  and working that, taking away weekends.
• 16:48
  It's been a lot. And it's just been one of those things where I'm trying my hardest every day.
• 16:57
  Stay positive, not dwell on the negatives, and just trust that tomorrow's going
• 17:03
  to be a new day and I'm going to have...
• 17:08
  Like it's going to get better because I really don't have any other choice right now.
• 17:15
  So it's just, Oh, and I think everybody's kind of feeling that weight too.
• 17:22
  Um, especially with prices and just everything all together and salaries.
• 17:29
  I know mine hasn't really gone up much, but But, you know, just trying to stay
• 17:34
  positive through all of that.
• 17:36
  And you can definitely stay positive, like, with all of that, even when it's hard.
• 17:44
  I look at my little one and I'm like, I got you. We're good.
• 17:49
  You know, or looking at the sky. Look up at the sky on a clear night and I see
• 17:53
  all the stars and I'm like, gosh, this is so beautiful.
• 17:56
  Like, how lucky am I that I get to sit here and look at this?
• 18:01
  So those little positives to keep, keep you going.
• 18:05
  So are you more, this is like the most random question, but it was just going
• 18:09
  through my head. Are you more of like a sunrise type person?
• 18:14
  Um, or are you more like the sunset, like night type person?
• 18:18
  Well, I'll be honest. I'm a morning person. Uh, and the reason I think for like,
• 18:23
  I could stay up all night and I prefer like, if when When it comes to work,
• 18:27
  I prefer a night shift only because less people, less bosses and that kind of stuff.
• 18:31
  But, and I don't mind, like I do love the night skies and all that,
• 18:36
  but I am truly a morning person because no matter how late I stay up,
• 18:40
  I'm going to be up real early at the, you know, first rays of the sun.
• 18:44
  And I think I'm like that because I'm so appreciative of life and waking up
• 18:51
  first thing in the morning, it lets you realize it's a new day.
• 18:54
  It's a new chance to start over again.
• 18:56
  And I relate that with the sunrise.
• 18:59
  And that's why I'm kind of just a morning person for that reason.
• 19:05
  Very interesting. I don't, I don't, I love the sunrise.
• 19:11
  I think it's gorgeous, but there's, to me, there's something just so calming
• 19:18
  about the night sky with the stars.
• 19:21
  And my favorite type of night sky, and it's not even in summertime,
• 19:27
  it's actually in the wintertime.
• 19:30
  Especially right after, and I think I probably mentioned this before,
• 19:33
  right after it snows, the sky, everything's just lit up beautifully.
• 19:39
  Like you can see everything. It's that natural light. I don't know why,
• 19:42
  but random question got us way off topic, but just kind of interested to see.
• 19:48
  You know just popped in my head not just how my
• 19:51
  brain's been working recently yeah i
• 19:55
  think mine's been working like that too it's just you you
• 19:58
  do you start to appreciate i think those smaller things
• 20:01
  um i've been doing the
• 20:04
  same like i have a second job and i haven't really
• 20:07
  worked it that much i haven't really needed to but i had
• 20:10
  agreed to work in again a couple shifts
• 20:13
  and i just pulled another one right after i
• 20:15
  got out of my regular job it stayed till like almost midnight and
• 20:19
  i listen my body feels it it really does
• 20:22
  and it's not even a physically demanding job but
• 20:26
  it's just the loss and like i sit in there
• 20:29
  at the other job saying why do i need to do
• 20:32
  this why is it that i got to keep bringing in this money shouldn't my regular
• 20:35
  salary cover it and yeah that's why i say We need to start realizing that there
• 20:43
  are different things that we should start putting in place for our lives because at some point,
• 20:50
  we're going to need to rely on those smaller things in life rather than these really big things.
• 20:57
  Wealth to me would be great, but it's certainly not necessary.
• 21:02
  I don't want it. I want, I've been thinking of literally like selling every single thing I have.
• 21:09
  And unfortunately, I'm not single, so these here dreams I can't really do,
• 21:14
  but I would love to, like, sell everything, start walking, and never stop.
• 21:18
  I would love to walk across, you know, this here country and see everything and meet new people.
• 21:25
  Something like that thrills me, that sense of adventure. But again,
• 21:29
  we're held back because of unknown reasons.
• 21:34
  About two years ago, I did a podcast on my original podcast when it was just
• 21:38
  me on the third eye meditation.
• 21:39
  And it was called Invisible Barriers, where we have these invisible barriers
• 21:47
  that literally just block us from doing the things we like.
• 21:49
  There's really nothing stopping us from doing what we want to do.
• 21:52
  Nothing at all. When you really sit and think about it, like what's stopping
• 21:56
  me right now from getting out there and tell my wife, listen,
• 21:59
  I'll be back in a few months, but I'm going to start walking.
• 22:02
  Nothing's stopping me. Absolutely nothing. but we
• 22:05
  are stuck with this mindset
• 22:08
  that we have to go to work you know and we
• 22:11
  have this thing where we create these bills because we accepted it a long time
• 22:16
  ago saying well in order to put a roof over our heads to put food in our you
• 22:20
  know songs we have to pay for it what other species on this planet pays to do
• 22:24
  that only humans and at some point somebody thought about this and we all agree to it.
• 22:31
  So I think we're programmed incorrectly because we just accept this and everything
• 22:35
  we need to do relies on this money.
• 22:38
  And that's why I feel we're controlled by banks, you know, banks control,
• 22:42
  you know, everything that are real people in charge.
• 22:46
  And we're just, you know, slaves to this way. And now I'm going off on the conspiracy
• 22:50
  side of things, but I love to do, but Hey, listen, I've been watching a lot
• 22:54
  of documentaries about that, But yeah, we don't focus on those small little things.
• 22:59
  Like you said, just looking up in the sky, you have a child, Hannah has a child.
• 23:03
  These are things that mean more
• 23:06
  than anything else. And they're the only things we should be focused on.
• 23:10
  And but we do, we get distracted because we're trying to provide.
• 23:16
  And then we sit and say, well, why do we need to do that? Why can't we just
• 23:20
  live and be able to be happy?
• 23:23
  You know, that's my question.
• 23:29
  I i've thought about so many different ways like how could i make it work not
• 23:34
  having to work full time in the job that i'm doing and right now it's just virtually
• 23:39
  impossible like on paper it just wouldn't work but i did set myself a few goals
• 23:45
  because there are things that i want to do with my son,
• 23:49
  like just travel and not even travel fancy,
• 23:54
  but just travel, you know, whether it be the car and, you know,
• 23:58
  we fold down the seats and sleep in the car at nighttime or whatever the case
• 24:03
  may be, but to eventually be able to do that with him, to enjoy those little moments.
• 24:08
  Cause I'm realizing that it's going so much faster than I ever anticipated it going.
• 24:16
  And when I say it I mean, life.
• 24:19
  Like, he's growing. I'm getting older. Like...
• 24:24
  I feel like I'm still a kid in the summertime sitting on my grandma's back porch eating strawberries.
• 24:31
  It doesn't feel like I'm an actual adult trying to make adult decisions and get through every day.
• 24:40
  But it's crazy because it's like, what if I just quit?
• 24:45
  Could I do it? And it would only last for so long before I'd have to go back
• 24:51
  to some type of office job to be able to support us. Right.
• 25:00
  And I have the same kind of plan, too. It's like we're thinking of starting
• 25:04
  a little side business, my wife and I.
• 25:08
  And hopefully, you know, I don't want to make it big.
• 25:11
  I just want to make it enough where we could do like, you know.
• 25:13
  Yeah, I know I use the word gypsy and people are probably going to have them,
• 25:17
  you know, free, but I'm going to live like kind of a gypsy kind of lifestyle.
• 25:20
  And I like that. And I appreciate that where it's simple and it's nothing,
• 25:25
  you know, that we have to stress every single night, just rely on the very basics.
• 25:31
  But I would like to start that little side project, work my regular job up until
• 25:35
  I'm ready and I'm done, which is coming real soon, hopefully.
• 25:40
  And I mean, I know I'm still going to have to work, but I've already decided
• 25:43
  the next job I get, it's going to be four days a week. That's it.
• 25:47
  I'm not going to take any job that's not four days a week.
• 25:51
  This way I have a little bit of extra time, take that one extra day where I
• 25:54
  could do the things I want to do is that I could be with the people that I love,
• 25:58
  spend more time with them.
• 26:00
  And that's been what's the one thing going on in my head and you know after
• 26:04
  this whole loss with the family I said you know,
• 26:08
  Anybody out there, people I know, probably some of our listeners maybe,
• 26:12
  some people don't have anybody to fall back onto.
• 26:15
  And that's why Hannah and I always say, hey, reach out to us if you need to.
• 26:19
  If you just want to hear somebody say something or someone to talk to.
• 26:23
  There's professionals out there that can help you, but sometimes you just want
• 26:27
  to hear it from a real person. So reach out to us.
• 26:31
  Get us on our Facebook page or get us on our email, theeyeopenersocietyatgmail.com. Reach out to us.
• 26:38
  If we could help out in any kind of way, just lend an ear or just give some
• 26:42
  sort of advice or some sort of encouragement.
• 26:44
  I think it's real important right now, us as human beings, because every day,
• 26:48
  not only do I go to work, but going to and coming from work.
• 26:53
  And I know we had talked about during lunch about travel and the roads every day.
• 27:02
  It's homicidal.
• 27:04
  Societal i i see the way people are becoming when they go behind the wheel of a car and.
• 27:11
  They're jeopardizing the lives of everybody out there including themselves and
• 27:15
  this is starting to just add to my worries like i don't want to die in the hands
• 27:22
  of someone being stupid so i can't come home to my wife and i that's why i'm
• 27:27
  stopping as much travel as i can i come home and I want to stay home.
• 27:30
  I don't even want to go out.
• 27:32
  This is what's becoming of the world. And we need to change.
• 27:35
  We need to become much better than that as human beings.
• 27:40
  Stop being stupid. You know, you get behind the wheel of that car,
• 27:43
  you're going to kill somebody. And it's not right. It's not fair.
• 27:47
  So these are things that I think about. And it's all tied into needing someone
• 27:54
  to talk to sometimes because these things affect you. you know they build up and,
• 27:59
  I think as I'm getting older, I'm seeing that I just want to enjoy a few more moments of my life.
• 28:05
  You know, if I could stretch it out a little bit more, I certainly will.
• 28:11
  I definitely, I feel you with that. I drive one of the, one of the highways
• 28:18
  that has in our state that has the most fatal accidents.
• 28:22
  I drive one every day. And I just, I'm learning to do a whole new,
• 28:29
  I'm a horrible road rager. Oh, I'm horrible.
• 28:32
  I will cuss you out up and down behind the wheel.
• 28:36
  You'd think I'm like a six foot five, you know, 250 pound woman just coming at you.
• 28:42
  But no, just a little old me. but finding that peace and not letting it rile
• 28:48
  me up because I don't want to be the one person that gets caught in a road rage
• 28:52
  accident or something like that. Somebody cuts me off.
• 28:55
  I've just been backing up. I still might say a couple more cuss words,
• 29:00
  but I want to be able to enjoy my life.
• 29:03
  I want to be able to enjoy moments and not let the little things like that because
• 29:07
  I don't know about you, but by the time I would get to wherever I'm going,
• 29:11
  I'm so worked up from things that would happen on the highway that I just,
• 29:18
  to wind down and to get out of that mind frame,
• 29:21
  it would take me a good 15, 20 minutes, maybe even longer.
• 29:26
  So now it's just like, I can't control anybody else. I can't control how they respond.
• 29:32
  I can't control how they act. The only thing I can control is how I act and
• 29:37
  how I let that impact my day.
• 29:39
  And even when it's hard finding one positive to stay positive so.
• 29:48
  I like that. That's brilliant. Yeah, we cannot control others.
• 29:52
  I can suggest what others should do, but we just can't demand that.
• 29:56
  But yeah, we all have control over ourselves and we need to be in that mindset
• 30:01
  where we're sharing this planet with everybody else.
• 30:05
  Let's enjoy it together. Let's stop being horrible human beings and let's start
• 30:10
  acting a little bit more caring and compassion.
• 30:15
  You don't have to be the world's most loving person. You don't have to be,
• 30:17
  you know but you got to understand that we don't
• 30:20
  need to take away from anybody else and i
• 30:23
  want that to be the lesson for everybody and that's basically what our show
• 30:27
  is about and believe me there's so much more and when hannah comes back we're
• 30:32
  going to have some great discussions on this too and a lot more and i wanted
• 30:37
  to take this opportunity to say that um part of super september,
• 30:42
  our behind the eyes uh show that we
• 30:45
  do we do it live on facebook we're changing everything up
• 30:48
  because i'm tired of facebook i'm tired of doing the live i'm tired of the algorithms
• 30:52
  and nobody tuning in because nobody gets notified so we're going to change that
• 30:56
  up we're still going to do it and it's perfect time for this month because there's
• 31:00
  five mondays so instead of doing one extra podcast we're going to do behind
• 31:06
  the eyes the way we would do a regular podcast podcast.
• 31:09
  We will film it and we will put it on Facebook. This way it's not live and we're
• 31:14
  going to improve on that too.
• 31:16
  We're going to go back to when we first did it. It was going to be a lot more behind the scenes.
• 31:19
  It's going to be a lot more storytelling and a little bit more personal stuff
• 31:23
  rather than just sitting and going over the episodes that we did for the month.
• 31:26
  It's going to be a whole wrap up and it's going to be a true behind the scenes of Eye Opener Society.
• 31:32
  Hopefully Brittany, you could join us for those two since, especially since
• 31:36
  you're part of one of the shows goes so far for this month.
• 31:38
  So I'm really hoping that September brings a little bit more calm and peace
• 31:46
  and settlement. Um, and.
• 31:49
  To my life and trying to I started
• 31:53
  this year like I'm gonna own this year it's gonna be mine now
• 31:56
  here I am like I'm gonna make it through this year I'm gonna it's gonna be okay
• 32:01
  so I really hope that I am able to join you more and hopefully start the launch
• 32:09
  I think when I know more concrete create information with a few,
• 32:14
  like what will come in the next few months,
• 32:17
  then I'll be able to get that started, get off the ground with that,
• 32:23
  obviously with your help, but with that podcast.
• 32:27
  Yeah, no worries. You're just going to provide the voice. That's it.
• 32:30
  I'll do everything else for you. I think you got the right mindset.
• 32:34
  Yeah. We understand life is full of ups and downs and that's
• 32:36
  what happens but as long as you're
• 32:39
  remaining positive and you understand
• 32:42
  that the pendulum swings and is
• 32:46
  eventually going to be a bounce back things are going to get better and with
• 32:49
  a podcast it's so great because you get to
• 32:52
  talk about all those things and you get a lot out of you
• 32:55
  and it feels better when you talk about it and that's
• 32:58
  what i like about doing this and that's why i'm so passionate about doing
• 33:01
  this podcast because it does it gives you that voice
• 33:04
  to talk and hopefully people are
• 33:07
  relating to it um and that means a lot and you've got the right mindset and
• 33:11
  i think you're going to do fine uh it's just gonna be a little rocky for a while
