  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  So telling you a story today. Yes, Rufus, I see you telling
• 0:34
  you a story about something that happened.
• 0:36
  So yesterday the Krispy Kreme company released a special
• 0:43
  doughnut series and it all revolves around Harry Potter.
• 0:47
  And I guess there's a doughnut that represents each house in
• 0:50
  Harry Potter and they've got these designs.
• 0:53
  And yesterday morning, obviously, I like to know the
• 0:56
  weather, especially here, you have to know the weather all the
• 0:58
  time because if you don't, you might melt during the day or you
• 1:01
  might get hit by a hurricane. And there is a massive hurricane
• 1:04
  in the Atlantic Ocean currently running out there and it's
• 1:07
  causing RIP tides and problems up and down the coast.
• 1:10
  So I wanted to know where it was overnight.
• 1:13
  Woke up and turned on the television to watch the local
• 1:17
  weatherman, who I think is probably the only one of the
• 1:20
  local guys that gets it right, and started to listen to what he
• 1:25
  had to say. And then all of a sudden they
• 1:28
  cut to commercial and they talk about the Krispy Kreme company
• 1:30
  and their specialized doughnuts that they have right now.
• 1:33
  So I made a decision. I was like, oh, I got super
• 1:36
  excited when I saw it because my son-in-law loves Harry Potter.
• 1:40
  He actually may be one of the biggest Harry Potter fans
• 1:43
  walking the planet, puzzles, read all the books, like just
• 1:47
  really studied the whole concept of it.
• 1:49
  And I saw the Harry Potter doughnuts.
• 1:51
  Now my days are totally jammed up.
• 1:55
  I, you know, have I'm very scheduled throughout it.
• 1:59
  My family was coming back from a trip that they did to Rhode
• 2:03
  Island and to go see my father-in-law who's not well.
• 2:08
  And I had this whole day booked. And then I saw these doughnuts
• 2:13
  and I thought, wow, wouldn't it be really cool for me to be able
• 2:15
  to get my son-in-law, those doughnuts and they work out of
• 2:18
  the house. So I wanted to surprise him and
• 2:21
  drop them off. So I immediately go online and
• 2:25
  decide I'm going to order these online because I know if I
• 2:28
  don't, I'm going to get there and I'm there not going to be
• 2:30
  any doughnuts. So I go online and I order a
• 2:34
  dozen of these Harry Potter doughnuts.
• 2:36
  Like they actually have a special box that you order and
• 2:39
  it's like the Harry Potter doughnuts with four glazed
• 2:42
  doughnuts that come with it. It's all packed in the box a
• 2:44
  specific way so I was super excited to do this.
• 2:48
  Got the mall set U on, ordered it online and then I worked my
• 2:52
  day around it so that I could go over and drop off the Donuts to
• 2:55
  him and messaged my daughter and said, Hey, are you guys going to
• 3:00
  be there? Am I going to can I drop it off?
• 3:02
  Don't tell him. And she's like, Oh no, I'm not
• 3:04
  going to tell him. He's going to be so excited.
• 3:06
  So I and I still can't go near them because I've got this funk
• 3:11
  and I don't want anybody to get sick.
• 3:13
  So what do I do? I go over and I'm like, OK, I'm
• 3:16
  just going to go to the door. I'll drop the stuff off at the
• 3:19
  door. It was funny because I felt like
• 3:20
  I was in prison. My daughter's standing there at
• 3:22
  the glass door with showing me the baby.
• 3:25
  I'm waving to the baby smiling. We're talking back and forth.
• 3:27
  My son-in-law comes out and I'm like, stay away from me.
• 3:30
  I put it on the little table outside their front door and I'm
• 3:33
  like, but here you can open it. And Oh my gosh, can I just tell
• 3:37
  you the look on his face was absolutely priceless.
• 3:40
  He was so excited. He had the biggest smile on his
• 3:44
  face and he immediately he was like what Harry Potter Donuts?
• 3:47
  I didn't even know this was happening.
• 3:49
  And I'm like, I know I just wanted you to be able to have
• 3:52
  them. I ordered them.
• 3:53
  And he could not get over how cool it was.
• 3:56
  And he was so excited about it. Now, this is the point of this
• 4:00
  story and telling you all this is because this was like a
• 4:03
  simple thing. This was like Donuts.
• 4:06
  This was a very simple thing to do, but the amount of joy that
• 4:10
  it bought brought to him. He took pictures of the
• 4:12
  doughnuts. He was so excited.
• 4:14
  He had ate one of them immediately and then my daughter
• 4:16
  said he had another one. Like he's like, do I know if
• 4:19
  he's going to eat all 12 doughnuts?
• 4:21
  I don't. But what I did was I I
• 4:24
  remembered something and I brought it to him.
• 4:26
  Now I'm not telling you this story because I want accolades
• 4:29
  for bringing my son doughnuts, my son-in-law doughnuts.
• 4:32
  What I'm telling you is the story for is because simple
• 4:35
  things like that, simple things like a doughnut, bringing a
• 4:40
  doughnut to somebody or doing something that shows somebody
• 4:43
  that you think about them, that you know them, that you care
• 4:46
  about them, matters. It matters.
• 4:48
  And it doesn't just matter to them.
• 4:50
  It matters to us to know that we gave in a way that is
• 4:54
  productive, that we thought of them, and it's just so
• 4:58
  incredibly sweet. I got a gift in the mail from a
• 5:02
  listener on the podcast and she sent me something and it was so
• 5:06
  sweet and so touching and I just loved it.
• 5:09
  I was a little surprised it wasn't, you know, it wasn't like
• 5:12
  an expensive item, but it was thoughtful.
• 5:14
  And that's the point. And it was, and I so appreciate
• 5:17
  it. And you know who you are.
• 5:19
  And she sent me the same thing for my daughter and myself.
• 5:21
  And it was just very cool. And I'm like, I love having
• 5:25
  that. And I get surprises from people
• 5:28
  all the time. And I just think, wow, it's so
• 5:30
  cool. But the point is, something
• 5:32
  simple can really make someone's day.
• 5:34
  So what simple thing can you do today to make someone's day?
• 5:39
  Maybe it's just a doughnut with Harry Potter on it.
• 5:41
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed night and
• 5:43
  I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
