• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am

• 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, I'm back. It was such an amazing trip with
• 0:33
  my son and I have to say I'm I'm back and it's now son.
• 0:39
  I'm recording this for tomorrow. It's now Sunday night, but I'm
• 0:43
  getting this ready to release tomorrow morning and I'm walking
• 0:47
  out to the chicken coop with you getting ready to put everybody
• 0:50
  to bed. It's dark or darkish almost
• 0:54
  getting there and boy, this trip I have to tell you the things
• 0:59
  that actually came to light during this trip.
• 1:03
  My son it all it. I mean, granted that the event
• 1:06
  itself was amazing, worth going, worth all the travel and
• 1:12
  everything else. But I have to say, the coolest
• 1:14
  part of this whole thing really came about with my son.
• 1:18
  Because having him and being able to travel with him, I can
• 1:22
  hear all the girls in the background.
• 1:24
  They're all tucked in tightly and I'll do a head count when
• 1:27
  I'm done recording. He was so fabulous with me.
• 1:33
  The flight going out was really bumpy and he held my hand like I
• 1:38
  was. It was really bumpy and I don't
• 1:40
  like bumpy flights, but he actually held my hand.
• 1:43
  He made sure that he carried bags from me.
• 1:46
  He always asked, He opened doors.
• 1:48
  I was like, Oh my gosh, he is being such an amazing travel
• 1:52
  partner and we were in downtown Philadelphia and there were
• 1:58
  really times when it was we were in places that were just like
• 2:01
  not great safe spots. And that kid was would move me
• 2:06
  to the inside of the sidewalk without me saying anything to
• 2:09
  him. He was all about making sure
• 2:12
  that I was I feeling protected. That was totally sure.
• 2:18
  Made sure I had my backpack. He's like, put that around the
• 2:21
  front of you like things. I never even thought that he
• 2:24
  knew he knew and he was executing on them.
• 2:28
  And it was so cool to see him step into being that young man
• 2:31
  that's reliable that you can, you know, hold on to and really
• 2:37
  know that this person is I mean, this person knows what they're
• 2:40
  doing. It was, it was an incredible
• 2:42
  experience. And even throughout the show,
• 2:45
  while I was poking around and being me and my friend actually
• 2:50
  came down from New Jersey and she was going through the show
• 2:54
  with us. It was a, you know, a surprise
• 2:56
  we didn't know was going to happen.
• 2:57
  It was so cool to watch how he interacted with us.
• 3:01
  He's like the both of you. He's like watching the two of
• 3:04
  you. I got to keep an eye on both of
• 3:05
  you. You go off one way, she goes off
• 3:07
  another way. I'm trying to make sure
• 3:09
  everybody knows to stay together.
• 3:11
  And it was like he was developing his instincts of how
• 3:14
  to handle the, the, the stress of being in a situation like
• 3:18
  that and watching and caring for people.
• 3:21
  And it was so incredible. 1 because I mean, obviously it's
• 3:25
  my son, but two, thinking about the fact that he's grown into
• 3:29
  this very at 17, I mean, he's like, he's right on the cusp of
• 3:32
  it, but he's really grown into this very thoughtful young man.
• 3:35
  And I was so touched by it all and so thrilled by it all.
• 3:41
  And of course, he made me eat steak and cheese as much as we
• 3:44
  possibly could. I can't begin to tell you how I
• 3:47
  don't want to eat this week because I am so stuffed.
• 3:50
  I feel like I just, I'm done eating for a bit.
• 3:53
  But Needless to say, the experience of going into this
• 3:58
  incredibly creative environment, like off the chart and creative
• 4:01
  and in the plant world, I was blown away.
• 4:06
  I've got so much content in my head.
• 4:09
  Notes are filled and filled in my tablet.
• 4:13
  I have just been writing, thinking, talking like it.
• 4:17
  It was so inspiring. And I've got a bunch of pictures
• 4:21
  I'm going to throw up so everybody can see them.
• 4:24
  But I think the big take away from all of this is 1.
• 4:27
  I love the surprise about my son.
• 4:29
  I always knew it, but I, I really loved feeling it that
• 4:32
  way. But the biggest thing is what it
• 4:34
  did for my overall creativity, my overall mood, like just in
• 4:40
  that realm of like, Oh my gosh, I hadn't even thought about
• 4:44
  things like that. And my creativity just went off
• 4:46
  the chart. So I'm going to encourage all of
• 4:49
  you to do something that boosts you like that.
• 4:51
  Do something unexpected and try something different because holy
• 4:57
  cow, it was extraordinary on so many reasons.
• 5:01
  I could list out 10 different things.
• 5:03
  Two big ones were the show and the creativity itself and my
• 5:07
  son. And those two things just kicked
• 5:09
  me into this amazing trajectory for the beginning of the year.
• 5:14
  So I can't wait to share more with you.
• 5:17
  I can't wait to show you, but do something to surprise yourself
• 5:20
  because boy, it really worked. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:24
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:26
  Bye.
