- 0:02Speaker 2: I'm a homegrowd that knows a little bit about everything
- 0:04Speaker 2: and everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 3: I don't know if you don't lie about that, right Lauren, Hey, y'all,
- 0:09Speaker 3: what's up.
- 0:10Speaker 2: It's Lauren Rosa And this is another episode of the
- 0:13Speaker 2: Latest with Laura de Rosa, your daily dig on all
- 0:16Speaker 2: things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations
- 0:20Speaker 2: that shake the room.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Baby.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Now today we are going to get right into a conversation.
- 0:26Speaker 2: News broke within the last hour or so that Britney
- 0:30Speaker 2: Spears was arrested for a d UI in California.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Now, when you hear.
- 0:36Speaker 2: That at face value, it's already like WHOA hold on, wait,
- 0:40Speaker 2: I mean it's Britney Spears. We're talking do UI here
- 0:44Speaker 2: or a suspected or alleged do UY, because we don't
- 0:47Speaker 2: have the test results back. But she was pulled over
- 0:51Speaker 2: on suspicion of driving under the influence. And we know
- 0:54Speaker 2: for several years Britney Spears was in a conservatorship. And
- 0:59Speaker 2: now this conservativeship followed a health crisis that.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Britney Spears was going through.
- 1:04Speaker 2: There were, you know, allegations of drug use and allegations
- 1:09Speaker 2: of alcohol abuse, and there was an obvious mental breakdown
- 1:13Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight when Britney Spears had a
- 1:16Speaker 2: few different you know things that happened, including her shaving
- 1:21Speaker 2: her head and then you know, she was fifty one
- 1:24Speaker 2: fifty and there was just a lot that went down.
- 1:27Speaker 2: So Britney Spears was in the Conservative Ship. She was
- 1:29Speaker 2: in that conservativeship for about thirteen years. That conservativeship ended
- 1:34Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. It was led by her dad,
- 1:37Speaker 2: Jamie Spears, who gained control over her finances, her day
- 1:42Speaker 2: to day health, her day to day you know, what
- 1:45Speaker 2: she does, how she does it, who has access to her,
- 1:48Speaker 2: and all of this was done for the protection of
- 1:50Speaker 2: Britney Spears. But there was a whole free Britney Spears movement,
- 1:54Speaker 2: which I was living in LA at the time. And
- 1:57Speaker 2: when I say movement, I mean like it was a
- 1:59Speaker 2: real movement. Like I remember the Free Britney Spears protests.
- 2:04Speaker 2: There are there were Facebook groups that I was like
- 2:07Speaker 2: speaking to during the protest and different things. And Brittany
- 2:13Speaker 2: was going back and forth to court and she was
- 2:14Speaker 2: fighting to get out of the Conservative Ship. She was
- 2:16Speaker 2: fighting for her dad not to have control over her life,
- 2:19Speaker 2: and just so many different things and it actually happened. Now,
- 2:22Speaker 2: when it happened, one of the biggest questions was how
- 2:26Speaker 2: will her life be now and will Britney Spears be okay?
- 2:31Speaker 2: And since twenty twenty one, there have been various things
- 2:34Speaker 2: that have come up. I mean reports of you know,
- 2:37Speaker 2: her allegedly pulling knives on people, and you know, issues
- 2:41Speaker 2: with her boyfriend or boyfriend at the time, sam Asgari,
- 2:44Speaker 2: who was you know, a background dancer and her boyfriend
- 2:47Speaker 2: at the time, and you know, conversations about her living conditions.
- 2:51Speaker 3: And the cleanliness of that.
- 2:53Speaker 2: And you know, these aged medicine cocktails that she's supposed
- 2:57Speaker 2: to be taken for whatever health issue it is that
- 2:59Speaker 2: she deals with, and reports of her not taking them.
- 3:01Speaker 2: There's just been things all over the place since her conservativeship.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Some of the videos she's posted online have not been
- 3:08Speaker 2: the best. Some of them have been very troubling, and
- 3:11Speaker 2: people are still having the conversation about whether or not
- 3:15Speaker 2: freeing Britney Spears from that conservativeship was helpful or harmful
- 3:19Speaker 2: to her. And now this DUI arrest happens in twenty
- 3:25Speaker 2: twenty six, some five years later. Since Britney Spears was
- 3:29Speaker 2: freed from that conservativeship. So I wanted to have a
- 3:33Speaker 2: conversation about that, but I wanted to do it in
- 3:36Speaker 2: a way that wasn't just less report on it and
- 3:39Speaker 2: move on, because I think when I talk about mental
- 3:42Speaker 2: health and people that deal with it, whether it's like
- 3:45Speaker 2: in addiction, whether it's a Kanye West and everything that
- 3:48Speaker 2: we see him go through in the public, I think,
- 3:51Speaker 2: or you know, a Wendy Williams, I think people can
- 3:54Speaker 2: be very touch and go as if this is something that,
- 3:59Speaker 2: like you report on it, you can just move on from.
- 4:01Speaker 2: But if you're the real person or the family of
- 4:03Speaker 2: these people, or just very connected fans, and Britney Spears
- 4:06Speaker 2: has that very connected fans, it's something that you're dealing
- 4:10Speaker 2: with on a day to day because you know, today
- 4:13Speaker 2: is March sixth, twenty twenty six, right, But and we'll
- 4:16Speaker 2: talk about this, and you know, maybe we'll talk about
- 4:18Speaker 2: it for a week or maybe two weeks, but in
- 4:20Speaker 2: a day to day Britney Spears will have to deal
- 4:22Speaker 2: with whatever the consequences of this are, whether it's jail
- 4:25Speaker 2: time or rehabilitation or both, and so will her family.
- 4:29Speaker 2: So I wanted to bring on someone to the podcast
- 4:31Speaker 2: to have a conversation with me about this who does
- 4:33Speaker 2: work in this space? And I thought of a person
- 4:36Speaker 2: who I got to know very closely when I was
- 4:40Speaker 2: doing a lot of the reporting on Wendy Williams, because
- 4:42Speaker 2: she was helping Wendy Williams in the very early stages
- 4:45Speaker 2: of Wendy trying to be freed from her conservatorship. Miss
- 4:48Speaker 2: Gena Lisa Montroso, who is the CEO of connect Care
- 4:52Speaker 2: Advisory Group, and she's a force. Like when I got
- 4:57Speaker 2: to know Miss Gena Lisa, I was like, I don't
- 5:00Speaker 2: know how you do it all the time. She does
- 5:01Speaker 2: it in her personal life, her professional life, but this
- 5:04Speaker 2: is her work making sure that people you know, who
- 5:07Speaker 2: deal with various addictions, mental health things, health things in
- 5:11Speaker 2: general are taken care of and are treated the right
- 5:14Speaker 2: way in and out of conservativeships.
- 5:16Speaker 3: So genially. So welcome to the latest with Learning the
- 5:18Speaker 3: Roads of the podcast. How are you?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Thank you, Lauren, thank you for having me. I'm fine.
- 5:22Speaker 1: How is everything going with you?
- 5:24Speaker 3: Everything is going well with me?
- 5:26Speaker 2: You know, I always tell you how amazing and how
- 5:28Speaker 2: dope I think you are because people who take the
- 5:31Speaker 2: time to take care of people.
- 5:33Speaker 3: I don't think the world gives y'all enough.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And I know it can be tough because you know,
- 5:36Speaker 2: I've experienced it, but not on your level, but I've
- 5:38Speaker 2: experienced it.
- 5:39Speaker 3: So you are an angel on earth. That's first of all,
- 5:44Speaker 3: thank you.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Okay, So let's get into Britney Spears.
- 5:47Speaker 3: So she was.
- 5:48Speaker 2: She was arrested in Dui for DUI and alleged g
- 5:51Speaker 2: UI in California Wednesday. She was driving by herself in
- 5:55Speaker 2: her car. Police say that they realized that there was
- 5:59Speaker 2: like a car swerve dangerously throughout various lanes. They called
- 6:02Speaker 2: for backup, pulled her over, immediately took her straight to
- 6:06Speaker 2: the hospital to get her blood tested. And for those
- 6:09Speaker 2: of you guys who don't know, sometimes a police officer
- 6:12Speaker 2: will say, hey, let's do like a walk the line
- 6:14Speaker 2: or follow my instructions test right on the scene. But
- 6:17Speaker 2: when they want to make sure or they feel like
- 6:19Speaker 2: it's a serious you know, you're intoxicated, seriously, they take
- 6:23Speaker 2: you to do a blood test if they have you
- 6:25Speaker 2: right there on the scene. So that is what they
- 6:26Speaker 2: did with a Britney Spears. She wasn't injured or anything
- 6:29Speaker 2: like that. They took her to the hospital solely to
- 6:31Speaker 2: test her blood alcohol levels and all of this is
- 6:35Speaker 2: following her conservativeship and just people being really concerned about her.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Now Misgena Lisa in hearing everything about this new reporting
- 6:43Speaker 2: knowing Britney Spears' background just from you know reporting not
- 6:47Speaker 2: I know you never worked with her, but in your
- 6:49Speaker 2: line of work, do you think that at this point,
- 6:54Speaker 2: with all these instances, Britney Spears should be completely out
- 6:57Speaker 2: of a conser conservatorship.
- 7:00Speaker 1: No, and that could be.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Very controversial, right, only because we kind of see her maybe.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Quote unquote spiraling.
- 7:12Speaker 4: But how many people get pulled over for the UI,
- 7:16Speaker 4: It's not uncommon, right, We shouldn't think about restricting her
- 7:21Speaker 4: and keeping her.
- 7:23Speaker 1: In this box just because she had this DUI.
- 7:28Speaker 4: I know we see a lot of things on the
- 7:30Speaker 4: Internet that we look at and say, you know, that's
- 7:35Speaker 4: something maybe we wouldn't do on an everyday basis.
- 7:39Speaker 1: But this is a person who.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Obviously is deally maybe with some mental issues.
- 7:44Speaker 1: And I think when we talk about conservativeship and.
- 7:47Speaker 4: Someone who needs help, you don't want to run to
- 7:50Speaker 4: the conservative part because I'm sure that conservative has traumatized
- 7:54Speaker 4: Brittany the way it was structured, how confined she was
- 7:58Speaker 4: how she wasn't able to make any decision, she didn't
- 8:01Speaker 4: have any autonomy.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You don't want to take her away from somebody.
- 8:04Speaker 4: You want to make sure that she has a space
- 8:07Speaker 4: to grow, get help mentally, physically, and be cared for
- 8:13Speaker 4: throwing her into her Conservativeship is just you know, almost
- 8:15Speaker 4: as if we're throwing her into prison and.
- 8:18Speaker 1: We forget about her.
- 8:19Speaker 4: That's not the right way to do things to me,
- 8:23Speaker 4: that's my professional opinion.
- 8:24Speaker 2: So then what is the right way, right Because yes,
- 8:27Speaker 2: people do get the UIs every day. You know, unfortunately
- 8:30Speaker 2: this happens, but like you know, it could have been bad,
- 8:34Speaker 2: like she could have been hurt, indoor killed, someone could
- 8:36Speaker 2: have been hurt indoor killed. But also too, I think
- 8:39Speaker 2: it's just even before you think about that, I think
- 8:43Speaker 2: about the decision making, Like you know, there have been
- 8:45Speaker 2: instances within like the last like two to three years
- 8:47Speaker 2: where you hear about it and you hear the reports
- 8:49Speaker 2: and you're like, I don't know, Britney Spears is making
- 8:52Speaker 2: the best decisions right now, And then you see this
- 8:54Speaker 2: and it's like that's not a good decision for sure,
- 8:56Speaker 2: for sure. What do you do then, Like if Conservativeship
- 9:01Speaker 2: isn't like, so she's not fully in a conservative ship
- 9:04Speaker 2: and you want to be gentle.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Of all those things. So what does that look like?
- 9:08Speaker 1: You're come in full force with a team.
- 9:11Speaker 4: And I know this was done before, but I think
- 9:15Speaker 4: before there was there was a lot more of out
- 9:17Speaker 4: of control and you know, a lot more self harm here.
- 9:22Speaker 4: You know, she is doing some harm. But I think
- 9:26Speaker 4: step one is not the conservativeship.
- 9:28Speaker 1: It's the steps we take, the steps to help.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Where are the people that are going to come in
- 9:33Speaker 4: and help her kind of form a barrier around her,
- 9:36Speaker 4: see if they're able to come in and kind of
- 9:39Speaker 4: get some help, therapy, whatever it is. You just don't
- 9:43Speaker 4: automatically go into a conservative ship.
- 9:46Speaker 1: I know it's.
- 9:46Speaker 4: Reported in TMC her sons are going to come visit,
- 9:50Speaker 4: some families going to come in.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I think that's that's very important. You know, people who.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Are in a space where they're dean maybe conservatorship, there's
- 10:01Speaker 4: a trust component that.
- 10:03Speaker 1: They deal with.
- 10:05Speaker 4: It's a fear that they don't trust everyone because everyone's
- 10:08Speaker 4: going to come up to them and tell them that
- 10:09Speaker 4: they're crazy or they need to be locked up.
- 10:13Speaker 1: That's why they kind of.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Disassociate themselves with people, and they don't trust anybody because
- 10:18Speaker 4: everybody just wants to put them away. She has to
- 10:20Speaker 4: be around trusted people who are going to work with her,
- 10:23Speaker 4: who are professionals, who are.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Going to understand her day to day.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Just taking someone and locking them up again and just
- 10:30Speaker 4: not putting anything structured and just treating them as robots,
- 10:35Speaker 4: it's not the way to go. There has to be steps,
- 10:37Speaker 4: steps to her family. Let's see what the family does,
- 10:40Speaker 4: Let's see how much help they get her. But she
- 10:42Speaker 4: has to get a trust, a build up of trust,
- 10:45Speaker 4: because you remember she was traumatized by the previous Conservatives ship.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Well in her previous conservativeship. I just want to break
- 10:54Speaker 2: down like what she was and was not allowed to do.
- 10:55Speaker 2: I mean she really wasn't allowed to do anything honestly correct.
- 10:58Speaker 2: It was financial control. So you know, she had like
- 11:01Speaker 2: a sixty million dollar fortune at that time because she's
- 11:03Speaker 2: the Britney Spears and her dad had complete control over
- 11:07Speaker 2: that over her estate, controlled all the business deals, you know, expenses, investments,
- 11:11Speaker 2: and there's always been an argument, like she even argued
- 11:14Speaker 2: in court that she was not happy with how some
- 11:16Speaker 2: things were utilized and how and where money was going.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I think that that's always an issue with the conservatorship.
- 11:23Speaker 2: But then there was like personal medical decisions. So she
- 11:25Speaker 2: was forced to take medicine and I won't say forced,
- 11:28Speaker 2: but she was, you know, they were having her take medicines,
- 11:33Speaker 2: undergo therapy. She had spent some time in a mental
- 11:36Speaker 2: health facility. At one point she claimed that that was
- 11:39Speaker 2: like against her will. They also had autonomy or like
- 11:42Speaker 2: decision making over whether she could reproduce or have children,
- 11:45Speaker 2: you know what I mean, or not, and just you know,
- 11:48Speaker 2: her movement, who could come visit her, where she could go,
- 11:51Speaker 2: if she could even like put out music, like all
- 11:54Speaker 2: of that was controlled. And you know, I get what
- 11:58Speaker 2: you're saying, but I guess it's like where in this
- 12:01Speaker 2: mix of things, Like so right now, if a judge
- 12:04Speaker 2: were to see this, could someone go back and say, hey, judge,
- 12:07Speaker 2: I know you got her out of the conservativeship in
- 12:09Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, but look at this. She could have
- 12:12Speaker 2: killed herself with someone she needs something legally again, could
- 12:15Speaker 2: that happen?
- 12:17Speaker 4: It could if there's a strong a strong push for it.
- 12:23Speaker 4: But the person that's putting in that show, you have
- 12:27Speaker 4: to remember when you go to the courts.
- 12:28Speaker 1: It's very black and white. It's not warm and fuzzy, right.
- 12:31Speaker 4: They're not going to be like, oh, let's help her,
- 12:33Speaker 4: let's put in this step program to mentally and physically
- 12:36Speaker 4: get her to a place where you know she'd be
- 12:39Speaker 4: able to kind of be okay out in the community.
- 12:41Speaker 1: It's either you know, you come in.
- 12:43Speaker 4: We put you in a conservativeship and we take away
- 12:45Speaker 4: everything from you, or you try to work it out
- 12:47Speaker 4: in the community. I don't believe her having this DUI
- 12:52Speaker 4: pushes her into a conservativeship. What I do believe is
- 12:56Speaker 4: that there has to be a team that comes in
- 12:59Speaker 4: right and puts a plan and mental health professionals, and
- 13:03Speaker 4: it has to be done very slowly and carefully, because
- 13:08Speaker 4: that whole list that you've read to me about what
- 13:10Speaker 4: she could not do that is not healthy. That is
- 13:13Speaker 4: not keeping a person safe, right. That's controlling them, treating
- 13:20Speaker 4: them like a robot and just having them do whatever
- 13:23Speaker 4: you want.
- 13:23Speaker 1: It's just very controlling.
- 13:25Speaker 4: And conservatorships were meant and built to help people, to
- 13:29Speaker 4: keep them safe, to protect them, not to control them
- 13:32Speaker 4: and take a time meet away from them.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I get you, I get you, and I did see
- 13:37Speaker 2: the story where you know, I saw you know, some
- 13:40Speaker 2: some further reporting where they were talking about how her
- 13:42Speaker 2: children are set to visit her and that'll you know,
- 13:45Speaker 2: that'll help her.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And that's helpful. Yeah.
- 13:47Speaker 2: I just I'm my thing with Britney Spears, and I
- 13:49Speaker 2: think this was you know, I've had conversations with you
- 13:52Speaker 2: about Wendy Williams when I was reporting a lot on that,
- 13:55Speaker 2: and my biggest thing is is, you know, not all
- 13:58Speaker 2: the time do you have family members who can endure
- 14:02Speaker 2: all of this to kind of step it? And I
- 14:04Speaker 2: know her dad he went through the ringer with just
- 14:07Speaker 2: he was dragged like Jamie Spears was the villain. He
- 14:10Speaker 2: was dragged. He was the most horrible person. But this
- 14:14Speaker 2: is still his daughter. So it's like, if he doesn't
- 14:16Speaker 2: want to be involved and she doesn't have anybody, and
- 14:19Speaker 2: it gets to a point where, you know, maybe they
- 14:21Speaker 2: discover or you know whatever, maybe he does get to
- 14:24Speaker 2: a point where she needs something guardianship wise, who steps
- 14:27Speaker 2: up them? Because we're looking at what happened with Wendy
- 14:29Speaker 2: Williams in the court being in control and she's miserable,
- 14:33Speaker 2: you know now with that, so it's like, is it
- 14:36Speaker 2: just the court, like what happens in that instant, because
- 14:39Speaker 2: it's like almost like she's abandoned, like she doesn't have
- 14:41Speaker 2: a person.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Correct, And I don't know Britney's family tree, God.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Guardianship and conservativeships.
- 14:49Speaker 4: That there's a foundation and that's family. And if you
- 14:52Speaker 4: don't have a family that you are able to trust,
- 14:56Speaker 4: or the court feels they cannot trust you, then you
- 14:59Speaker 4: cannot go to your family, which is why it's always
- 15:02Speaker 4: good to have a family, bond with the potential ward
- 15:06Speaker 4: and develop a trust so that the system doesn't take
- 15:09Speaker 4: them and body snatch them and take them away from everybody.
- 15:12Speaker 4: Because it's always either you're in a conservative conservatorship.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Or you're not. There's never a middle, right, and.
- 15:20Speaker 4: There should be a middle, and that's what's missing here
- 15:22Speaker 4: in this whole structure, the middle part.
- 15:25Speaker 1: People don't want to take the time right.
- 15:27Speaker 4: It's a lot of work, it is, and the court
- 15:30Speaker 4: doesn't have that time, and that's not how they plan.
- 15:33Speaker 4: It's either you're going to come in or you're not.
- 15:36Speaker 4: And so that's where there should be a middle. The
- 15:40Speaker 4: middle should start forming right now. She had this COI, Hey,
- 15:44Speaker 4: this is an alarm for us. Let's see if we
- 15:46Speaker 4: can gather up as a family, let's see, we could
- 15:48Speaker 4: try to build up trust. She's been through a lot.
- 15:51Speaker 4: We have to kind of focus on the person with
- 15:55Speaker 4: the mental health issue. We tend to blame a lot,
- 15:59Speaker 4: We tend to make fun of, you know, everything that
- 16:02Speaker 4: but there is something and that we need to respect
- 16:06Speaker 4: that they don't get, yeah, which is why they run
- 16:09Speaker 4: away from help.
- 16:10Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get you.
- 16:14Speaker 2: So when you talk about help them, right and closing,
- 16:16Speaker 2: we talk about help, you know, I'm seeing the reporting
- 16:20Speaker 2: of like you know, of course her family and close
- 16:22Speaker 2: friends they want her to not have to do jail time,
- 16:25Speaker 2: which could be on the table. But I think once
- 16:27Speaker 2: they do a mental health evaluation, hopefully they see that like,
- 16:31Speaker 2: this is something bigger than just a person who just
- 16:33Speaker 2: decided to just you know, be reckless and drink and drive.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Right.
- 16:37Speaker 2: But because also too, there's other report that there was
- 16:40Speaker 2: a potential control substance found in the car. So that
- 16:44Speaker 2: makes it it's very in line with everything that she
- 16:47Speaker 2: was getting in trouble with before her conservativeship. Right, So
- 16:51Speaker 2: they talk about they would rather have rehabilitation, see her
- 16:55Speaker 2: in rehabilitation and in jail.
- 16:58Speaker 3: What does rehabilitation look like though?
- 17:00Speaker 1: Is it?
- 17:00Speaker 2: Because I think just putting her in a rehab facility.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Britney Spears has been to rehab facilities.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know a.
- 17:07Speaker 4: Lot of people who have a mental health condition. Again,
- 17:10Speaker 4: I know, I sound like a it's repetitive. It's a
- 17:13Speaker 4: trust component, right. Everybody wants to drug them, everybody.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Wants to call them crazy.
- 17:19Speaker 4: And so rehab to a person who has a mental
- 17:22Speaker 4: issue is finding someone that they can trust, right and
- 17:27Speaker 4: working with that person step by step by step.
- 17:32Speaker 1: And it takes a lot of work.
- 17:33Speaker 4: You're not gonna get it on the first try, the
- 17:35Speaker 4: second try, it's going to be a whole bunch of
- 17:37Speaker 4: times because you need to put in that routine. It's
- 17:40Speaker 4: like trying to teach a baby how to walk. You
- 17:42Speaker 4: don't stop teaching them because they fell. You pick them
- 17:45Speaker 4: up and you teach them how to walk again.
- 17:47Speaker 1: And that's how you deal with rehabilitation.
- 17:50Speaker 4: And unfortunately a lot of these programs do not have
- 17:54Speaker 4: the time.
- 17:55Speaker 1: A lot of them just want the money.
- 17:56Speaker 4: So that's a missing component in our world right now,
- 18:00Speaker 4: that middle ground to really understand someone what they're going through,
- 18:05Speaker 4: how we can fix it, who they can trust, what
- 18:08Speaker 4: is it that they want? Why don't we ever ask
- 18:11Speaker 4: that person what do you want?
- 18:13Speaker 1: Right?
- 18:15Speaker 4: And if they say, hey, I want to live on
- 18:16Speaker 4: an island alone, Hey, we can't do that, but maybe
- 18:19Speaker 4: we could find a nice neighborhood, right that doesn't have
- 18:21Speaker 4: a lot of homes.
- 18:22Speaker 1: You kind of work with that instead of going against it.
- 18:26Speaker 2: So with that being said, can you tell the people
- 18:28Speaker 2: a bit more about talk about what you do on
- 18:31Speaker 2: a day to day And I don't know if your
- 18:32Speaker 2: services are like you know, for hire anywhere at this point,
- 18:35Speaker 2: I don't know your case or your worklow, but I
- 18:37Speaker 2: would love for you. I mean, we have eight million
- 18:39Speaker 2: listeners nine over nine million actually wow, So I would
- 18:43Speaker 2: love for them to get to know what you do
- 18:46Speaker 2: in that instance, because that's why I open this with saying,
- 18:49Speaker 2: every time I talk to you, I remind you how
- 18:51Speaker 2: important you are and how special it is what you
- 18:53Speaker 2: do because I know it takes a lot of patients.
- 18:55Speaker 2: I know it does, and it is not a rewarding industry.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Like you get treated really bad, you don't get paid
- 19:00Speaker 2: as well a lot of times, but like you still
- 19:02Speaker 2: do it. So I would love for people to be
- 19:05Speaker 2: able to support what you're doing and to learn more
- 19:07Speaker 2: about what you're doing because you do need that middle point,
- 19:10Speaker 2: but those people are null and void most of the
- 19:12Speaker 2: time in this medical field. So talk to us a
- 19:15Speaker 2: bit about you know, your company, your platform, and what
- 19:18Speaker 2: you need from people that are listening and watching.
- 19:20Speaker 4: So our company we deal with the elderly, the disabled,
- 19:26Speaker 4: and we assist them in preserving their autonomy into remaining
- 19:31Speaker 4: home with services and making sure that they're safe and
- 19:35Speaker 4: protected and they have all their needs met, whether it's
- 19:39Speaker 4: through government services, whether it's through private money. We go
- 19:44Speaker 4: and we put all the services in place to make
- 19:46Speaker 4: sure that they're able to still remain at home. They
- 19:49Speaker 4: have food, shelter, medical, and no one is out to
- 19:54Speaker 4: kind of put a conservatorship or guardianship and take them
- 19:58Speaker 4: away from their space. And we are hired privately by
- 20:01Speaker 4: family and friends and we utilize that money with our
- 20:05Speaker 4: services to assist them to make.
