Speaker 1: 0:01

Welcome to Sears Beers, knowers and Doers, a podcast about intuition. Do you know what that is? Intuition to me is that inner sense for knowing that something is true. And yet I have no proof. But there's so many definitions and there's so many ways it can come. I'm looking to bring together and share with you some amazing guests. You have some amazing life stories, and also some insights into how intuition can come, and I'm looking to gather those crows in the trees. I hope you're one of them. I hope that this podcast inspires you to be more connected to your intuition, and I hope that by doing that, we make the world a better place. Thanks for coming on this journey with me.

Speaker 2: 0:51

Before we get started today, I would love to share some tools with you to help with stress and feeling overwhelmed, especially for the energetically sensitive person. Feel free to go to my store on my website at www dot healing Vitality ca. Thanks so much for coming on this journey with me.

Speaker 3: 1:10

So I'm super excited today cuz I've just connected with somebody who literally ran through my Facebook feed and I'm like, I need to meet her<laugh>. I need to know this lady. She's doing wonderful things in the world. So thank you lady JB Owen for joining me today. I truly appreciate you spending the time with us to help increase awareness of what you're doing in the world and also inspire others to do what inspires them. So would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself?

Speaker 4: 1:40

Oh, well, thank you so much for having me on your show. It's a delight to be here, and thank you for what you're doing in the world. Also, birds of a feather flock together, so it's a wonderful to be on the show. Well, I'll introduce myself. I, my name is JV and yes, I am United Blessed in Blessedly by the Royal Order. So I do go by Lady jv, but with my friends, like you and JV is just fine.<laugh>, and I'm a publisher by trade, and that's what I call myself. But really I love, and I'm so blessed to be able to help people go through their transformational journey by telling they're very unique story. All of us have something called a ignite moment, and when we tell that ignite moment and how we became the hero of our journey, instead of the victim or the villain, it really helps inspire and transform others. And through the power of storytelling, I've created an initiative called Ignite Humanity dedicated to igniting the planet and making sure that humanity gets more connected through our most authentic stories.

Speaker 3: 2:37

Okay, that's been loaded. You've just loaded a whole bunch of information in there,<laugh>. So what started you as a publisher? How did you get there?

Speaker 4: 2:46

Yeah, great question. Well, my own personal experience, I went through some difficult times in my life. I was involved with somebody who was, um, abusive and, and an addiction. And for a long time I hid that from people I really, you know, kept it under wraps. I didn't want anyone to know. I lived in a lot of shame and guilt about that, exposing my kids to him. And it was when I started to share that story and tell that story with others that I realized there were many people who had gone through a similar experience. And then of course, when I went ahead and decided to publish that story, that's when things really started to change for me. And I found that by sharing my power and self sort of self desire to get out of that situation and elevate myself to a better standing, it actually gave people the ability to feel like they could do the same. And so I really suddenly knew that I had a vision on my hand of how we could help other people do the same thing with their powerful stories. We all have a story. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>, I was sitting in a conference and a gentleman was up on the stage telling his story, and he started crying. And when he got off the stage, you know, people didn't turn away from him. They, they did the opposite. Some people in the front row stood up and hugged him and embraced him, and suddenly the whole room felt closer and more connected to him. And I knew right there and then that stories make a difference in the lives of others. And so I started a publishing house so that people could tell their transformational stories in a safe and effective way.

Speaker 3: 4:12

I had goosebumps the whole time you were talking mm-hmm.<affirmative>. And it's so true. It comes back to being that vulnerable place that we think we're alone in. And yet somewhere we get the strength to take action or tell the story or be true to ourselves.

Speaker 4: 4:37

Yeah, it's true. Yeah. A lot of us have something that happens to our, in our lives and it sort of sets and a very distinctive meaning to it. So I often tell people when I was a kid, you know, my dad was, didn't like my punk hair and my sort of rebel added, you know, look, um, clothing. And one day he told me to put a bag on my head because he didn't like the way that I looked. And interestingly enough, that really set a trajectory for me to live my life in a certain way. And I really classified and identified myself in a certain way because of that particular comment. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>, interestingly enough, we call that in an ignite impact moment, something that really impacts you and you live your life a certain way because of it. But later in life, when I got older, I realized, you know, my dad didn't really say that to hurt me. He didn't say that to be mean, he just was sort of joking around. But I took it very personally. And what I also realized is, you know, him, he grew up on a farm, he was very conservative, and me being a real punker and a rebel was, you know, sort of outside his comfort zone mm-hmm.<affirmative>. And so I suddenly grew some compassion for him and some more understanding because I was able to look back on that experience through a new set of eyes as an older individual. So we call that a ignite transformational moment. Something in you transforms, you see an a an attach a meaning to something very differently. And that allows you to change fundamentally, literally on a cellular level through forgiveness and understanding and recognition. And so telling those stories so that other people can, you know, not get locked in their ignite impact moment is really what we do. And over 700 stories now we published of people talking about their ignite moment. Because if I can do it, you can do it. If I can get through it, you can get through it. And these stories really help people persevere.

Speaker 3: 6:17

Well, and it's so true that we will take, we will take things how we receive them, not necessarily how they're intended. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>. Yeah. And, and mm-hmm.<affirmative>, there's a lot. Exactly. Yeah. There's a lot that, and then the stories happen, and then we get out of alignment with who we actually are. And so I love that you're, you're bringing awareness to that piece because it's when we're out of alignment with who we are, that it's, it makes life more difficult. Right.

Speaker 4: 6:47

And a lot of us live in shame, and we live in blame and we live in embarrassment for things that we've been through. And the truth is, you know, being many of our night moment stories being bankrupt, being cheated on, you know, feeling like desperate, um, attempting suicide, being assaulted, losing a baby. I mean, these are all very difficult situations to be in. But what is interesting is our authors really take those situations and they see how they can parlay that into a better experience of themselves. And I'll go right back to my own story. You know, I'm grateful that that happened with me and my dad because now I'm the kind of person that wants everybody to be seen and wants everybody to be heard and wants everybody to be recognized and acknowledged for their story. So my childhood had to go through the, that road and that those bumps and those trials and tribulations so that I could be the person that I am today. And I think that's really the essence of Ignite and why I do. And even igniting humanity, we all have these paths that we must walk, we have things that we must go through. They're part of the, the foundation that helps us become the individuals that we're meant to be. If everything was just easy and handed to us, none of us would even appreciate it,<laugh>. And so these challenges that we face are really designed to help us fine tune what our purpose is. And so I look at my childhood and I, I'm grateful because today I get to help people tell their story. I I get to help them pull the bag off their head mm-hmm.<affirmative> and be out, you know, in an environment where they can help somebody else. And so it's all divinely a gift.

Speaker 3: 8:24

Yes. Yeah. And a lot of it is about that hindsight and perspective on things, and also having it be acknowledged that it's not a wrong thing that's happened. It's actually a gift. And I think what you're doing is mm-hmm.<affirmative>, you're creating that transformation from wrongness to gift in these people by empowering them to tell their stories. Full body goosebumps. Again, JB Correct.

Speaker 4: 8:49

<laugh>, you know what, we don't heal when we're in shame and we don't step forth when we're hiding with a skeleton in the closet. And we, we can't help others if we can't help ourselves. And so telling your story is very powerful and it's very transformative because you realize that that experience was really designed to not define you, but refine you. And I say that all the time, your story does not define you, but instead it refines you and it allows you to really notice the gifts and the talents that you were given. And I think all of us are here to support and love and encourage one another and be the mirror for each other. And so when we're working on ourselves and we're fine tuning our story and becoming the hero of our journey, we're giving permission for other people to do the same. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3: 9:36

<affirmative>. Absolutely. I'm gonna shift gears to something that you've done recently that I looked at and I was just like, honest to gosh, wow, she's a doer<laugh> that takes resilient. And that's your cycle across Canada. Like not once, but you've done two and now you're planning a third trip to go across Canada, is that correct?

Speaker 4: 9:58

Well, actually I'm planning my fourth. So the first year in 2020, like everyone else, I was stuck in home with Covid and we were sheltering in, and I had gained quite a bit of weight and I was feeling unhappy and I just turned 50 and I was like, you know what? I gotta do something to show people what's possible. My kids were feeling depressed and unclear about their futures. I mean, the whole world was just really in the state of unknown. And what I kept saying to myself is, we have to be thinking about what we can do, what we we're capable of, and we have to be even thinking about we, what we've never done before, to get through this, we have to think what we've never done before. And so I was like, what can I do to show people what's possible? And crazily enough, my husband and I decided to take the Tanem bike off the wall of the garage. They've been collecting cobwebs and cycle to the Parma building to show people that you don't have to be an athlete, you don't have to have it all planned out. You don't have to know what you're doing. You just have to put one foot in front of the other, just like us. Put one pedal over the other and we cycle 5,000 kilometers to the Parma building. And this is a fascinating, really interesting part of the story. Our plan actually was to go to Halifax, that was our end goal, but when we got to the border of New Brunswick, they wouldn't let us in because of the Atlantic bubble that was happening during the pandemic. Yeah. And we, oh my gosh, we were just shocked. I mean, we literally had been cycling for, you know, 4,000 kilometers with our end goal in sight, and there was a police barricade and we're like, what? We can't get there. Like, what? You're not gonna let us in? Yeah. But the fascinating thing is the universe always has a plan. And so we sat there and Reed for about 10 minutes and thought, okay, what do we do next? And so we decided to loop around and go back to the Parliament building. And so we went all the way back, uh, towards Ottawa. We landed in Ottawa, we cycled up to the part of my building, and this is the coolest part of the story. When we landed at the Centennial Flame, it was such an amazing moment. But I looked around and there was all these people and there was these speakers and there was like these like audio speakers. And for the first time in Canadian history, they were having an outdoor open microphone speaking event on Parliament Hill. And they were taking lists of people who wanted to speak because they, everybody wanted to share how they were feeling about Covid. Right. So I threw up my hand, put my name on the list, and within a few moments in my cycling gear with my cycling shoes and my helmet, I stepped on the stage in front of thousands of people. And I said to people, I just cycled across Canada. And the whole audience started cheering. I mean, it was incredible. And I just said to people, it is possible you can do whatever you dream of. You can have a goal and you can go after it. And I'm here to prove it and I'm here to show. And of course, the crowd was screaming and cheering. And it was a really phenomenal moment of my life because when I was in grade four, I told my social study teacher that one day I was gonna speak on Parliament Hill. Oh. And my social study teacher told me, well, you better get some better grades than if you think that's ever gonna happen.<laugh>,

Speaker 3: 12:57

I love it.

Speaker 4: 12:57

You better smart enough. You better be better. You better, you know, you're not good enough to go and speak at at Parliament. Wow. And so, you know, fast forward 40 years, I got an opportunity to speak at Parliament in front of people on the microphone. And so it just goes to show. And what's so amazing is we had to turn around. There was no plan. We didn't know, we didn't even have an idea, but the universe moved all the chess pieces in order to make that happen. So on that day, I could speak after cycling across Canada and fulfill a dream that I made when I was in grade four. Yeah. And I think that's the power of holding the vision and knowing about yourself and having that belief in yourself.

Speaker 3: 13:35

I love it. I live in New Brunswick. I remember the Atlantic bubble, and you know, it created,

Speaker 4: 13:40

The universe did bless us. It

Speaker 3: 13:42

Created it though. It created you to get to Parliament Hill at Divine Time, which I, I just love, I mean, you cycled across Canada like people made me. Okay,

Speaker 4: 13:53

Well that was last year. Oh, thank you. Last year we decided to go coast to coast. So I did get to finally end up in New Brunswick. And so we left Vancouver and we cycled all the way across Canada. We cycled into New Brunswick and then P ei and then new all the way to the very end of Newfoundland. Here's another great story, is our goal that time was to get to Cape Sphere in Newfoundland. And, um, I had this vision of like cycling along the coast and coming around the coast and up the hill to the top of this beautiful lighthouse and just walk right to the very edge and look over and edge of Newfoundland and be like, I reached my finish line. But the day that we cycled to Cape Spear, it was rainy and cold. And I don't know if any of you have ever cycled there, but it's like all through the trees. It's not along the coastline at all. We got to Cape Spear and it was very commercialized. They had all these fences up and actually capes, sp is, is a historical landmark, so there was like a lot of cannons there, and there were some like underground bunkers, and it was once a prison and it didn't feel anything like the celebratory experience that I wanted to have by reaching the finish line. So I turned to my husband and I said, this is not the finish line<laugh>. And he said, really? And I said, no, it's not, it's not. And he said, what do you want? I said, I wanna go down the coastline. I wanna cycle along the ocean. I wanna go up a hill and, and get to a beautiful painted striped lighthouse and walk to the very edge of the cliff and know that that's my finished line. So we went into, we had a follow vehicle and we had our laptops went into our follow vehicle, and we started Googling lighthouses in Newfoundland. And there's 69 of them, just so you know,<laugh>. And I started like scrolling over them and suddenly I saw the most beautiful lighthouse, perfect picturesque red and white paint right on the edge of a cliff. And I clicked on it and it was in a city called Hearts Content<laugh>. And so I said to my husband, we're going to hearts content. And so we turned around again, cycled another 254 kilometers, and we landed in hearth content and we cycled down all along the ocean, all along the bay, up a hill to this beautiful lighthouse, got off our bikes, walked to the edge, there was the cliff. And in that moment, I absolutely, without a doubt, felt like that was the finish line. And my heart was so content, I was so happy. And it just proved to me that you define your finish line, you get to decide where the finish line is. It's not, or anyone else would decide. And I have to honestly say I'm so in love with hearts content because I just felt so much accomplishment and appreciation and gratitude and went for the feeling, not for the finish line. And that's one of the things I wanna share with your listeners. Mm-hmm.<affirmative> is always go for the feeling, not the finish line.

Speaker 3: 16:40

So true. Oh my goodness. Wow. You nailed that one. That's gonna be the title of your podcast,<laugh>

Speaker 4: 16:49

<laugh>. So much. I actually made a t-shirt that said, live your heart's content.

Speaker 3: 16:53

Oh, perfect. Yep, yep. I love it. I love it. So, okay, I'm gonna shift gears a little bit. You've have given us so many little nuggets here where, uh, you know, I'm seeing doing as one of your intuitive gifts and re ways of receiving it, but I'm sure there are others. Um, so do you mind sharing with us how you receive your intuition?

Speaker 4: 17:19

Yeah, absolutely. Well, I'm a big person for reverence. I think receiving and reverence is so important. So I will share, you know, back when life was di more difficult for me, I was divorcing the father of my children. I was working way too much. I was very unhealthy. I was having debilitating back pain. I could barely walk, I couldn't drive, I couldn't pick up my kids. I couldn't carry a purse. I couldn't even stand up from a chair by myself. I mean, I was just so broken in overwork and stress and unhealthiness and, um, unaware. Like I really was not in tune spiritually, emotionally, physically. Um, it was that time in my life where I needed to hit bottom to figure out how to crawl out of it. Mm-hmm. And I ended up going and studying and doing some healing work in a retreat center. And where I learned was how to meditate on your hands and knees with your forehead on the floor and your hands in front of you opened up like a cup to receive. And for 14 days, I spent 5, 6, 7 hours a day in that position just receiving every single thing I could to heal me, to guide me, to help me, to show me how to pick myself back up, how to overcome the breakup of my marriage, the ending of my business. You know, losing the father of my children, losing my identity, uh, and just heal, like literally physically heal. When I arrived at the retreat center, they had to carry me out of the car. I could not walk on my own. And so learning to receive in that manner and just such reverence and such humbleness has really become my practice. Even today when I meditate or I sit or I just need to ground myself, I go back into that position. And in that sort of very humble position with my head down in a receiving manner, I get so many messages and I get so many intuitive answers. And I think that's when we, when we pause and when we get still and when we calm ourselves and we are open to receiving, not urging to receive, not demanding to receive, not waiting and expecting to receive, which is what so many of us do when we're meditating or so many of us do. We want intuition to come because we're desperate or we're, we're in pain or something bad has happened or we're begging for it. And that isn't really, in my opinion, how intuition speaks to you. You have to have a practice and a relationship with it. And so daily I put myself in this position of receiving, and at the same time I'm receiving. I'm so grateful, I'm so thankful for every little thing I have, every tiny little mor of opportunity or gifts or, or ease or even my health and my family and my home. I really am in a state of receiving and reverence and thankfulness. And that's when intuition really, really speaks to me.

Speaker 3: 20:23

That's so welcome. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>, I'm not sure people recognize the urgency or the begging or the pleading, but that is so real.

Speaker 4: 20:33

I think a lot of us, you know, a lot of us wanna meditate, you know, or we want to connect with the divine or we want to, you know, hear our inner voice and what happens is we're anxious for it mm-hmm.<affirmative>, or we're like, I'm not doing it right. Or what's taking so long? Or how come it's not coming? Yeah. And the truth is, you know, it's, again, it's a relationship. I mean, you can't poke a puppy out from around the corner. I mean, you have to lovingly create trust mm-hmm.<affirmative>. And I think many of us actually don't create trust with our inner voice. How many times have, I mean, I've, I've had things happen to me all the time. I mean, I was in the car, I put my phone in the cup holder in the middle of the two seats and my intuition said, don't put your phone there, you'll forget it. And you know what I said to myself, I'll, of course I'm not gonna forget it. It's my phone. I never forget my phone. It's right there in the cup holder. Well, guess where I was headed? I was headed to the airport. My mom dropped me off. I got to the airport, went through check-in, went through security, went to go and hand in and have them check my passport. And guess what I did when I was looking for my passport, I realized my phone was in cupholder.<laugh> Intuition told me and I didn't listen. Yeah. And so many of us do that. Many of us know, don't leave that sitting there, it'll get lost. Don't put that there. You'll forget it. Don't, you know, walk outta the house without your jacket. You'll be cold. And then you're like, oh no, I'm fine. Or Oh no, I don't need to worry about it. And it absolutely happens. And so it, so then intuition says, well, I'm not gonna tell you these things because you don't listen to me anyway. I'm not gonna give you advice. I'm not gonna show you. I'm not gonna prepare you because you keep negating me. And so the truth is, it is a relationship. You do have to, even if I, so many times to me now, I walk out the door and my intuition says, grab your water bottle. And I'll be like, I don't need my water bottle. And I'll be like, oh no, I'm walking back in. I'm gonna get my water bottle. Cause my intuitions told me<laugh>. And lo and behold, whatever happens, thanks thing, you know, thank God I had my water bottle, or thank God I had my wallet or my keys, or I locked the door. Whatever it is. Right. You have to start listening to and recognizing your intuition because it's talking to you all the time. We just often negate it.

Speaker 3: 22:41

Yeah. Big time. And we don't recognize that it's all the little things. It's all the little things that create that trust. Mm-hmm.<affirmative> just like in a real relationship, just like with a human being. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>, it's all the little things that actually, like, yes, it can be huge things as well, but intuition is the same. So I love the, I love the alignment that you're making here for people, because all the little things are also what can destroy a relationship with your people or an animal. Mm-hmm.<affirmative> just like, mm-hmm.<affirmative>, big, big, big, big, big things can destroy relationship very quickly too. So yeah. Hopefully that's,

Speaker 4: 23:16

You know, we squash our intuition, we squash our inner voice, we squash our instincts, and then we wonder, well, where is it when I needed it? You know, why aren't you showing up? Well, it's just felt like you squash it 50 times<laugh>. So I would show up because you were pushing it away. I always tell my kids, and ever since they were little, I always tell them, you know, if you don't feel comfortable, if something doesn't feel right, if you get a pin in your stomach, if you have an apprehension, if you, you know, feel something you need to follow that you need to listen to that, that is so important. That is your best friend. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>. And, um, my kids are a bit older now. They're teenagers, but I have trained them and shown them and inspired in them since they were little, that their intuition is truly their best friends when it comes to strangers, when it comes to, you know, sports, when it comes to their exams, when it comes to making new friends. And it's something I think all parents really foster in their children. And then of course, more importantly in themselves, because again, a lot of us want to be spiritually connected to our greater and our higher selves, but we're not doing the work to make that connection grow.

Speaker 3: 24:25

No, that's, that's part of the whole purpose of this podcast is to give people nugget.

Speaker 4: 24:29

I'll tell you a good story. So when we were cycling over the summer, we were in Sudbury, Ontario, and um, it was very late at night and so often we would stay, we have an an RV that follows us when we're cycling. So we sleep in it at night. So sometimes we sleep, we sleep in, in, in, you know, RV parks or in campgrounds. But for that particular night we were gonna sleep in a church parking lot and we always like to sleep in church parking lots because we feel like it's really safe. But we couldn't find one that was working out. So we ended up parking behind a hotel and my husband said, I don't feel comfortable. I don't wanna sleep here, I don't wanna park here tonight. It doesn't feel good for me. And I was like, oh, what? It's perfect. At a hotel, it's busy, there's lights, it's not a problem at all. People park in here all the time. Well, guess what happened? Three 30 in the morning, my husband woke up in the middle of the night because somebody was robbing us. They were stealing our bike off the back of our motor home. Gosh. And he had to run outside and chase him off of the flashlight. And uh, they ended up running away, which was such a blessing. But I thought to myself like, oh my gosh. Like that person could have attacked my husband. He could have stabbed my husband. Like, we don't know. He could have been strung out for what? For a bike tire. Like, it just wasn't worth it. And I was really like, honey, I'm so sorry that I didn't listen to your intuition. I didn't listen to your inner voice, say we shouldn't park there. And of course we were all rattled that we were robbed. And he had taken up apart quite a few pieces of our bike. And it was just a really upsetting situation. And it's a perfect example where I just squashed his inner knowing and didn't listen to him.

Speaker 3: 26:04

Mm. And on the flip side, then you get this story to inspire others. So we appreciate<laugh>. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>, we, we appreciate. Listen

Speaker 4: 26:12

To your husband's also<laugh>. That's all you want. Your husband's having tuition too.

Speaker 3: 26:17

Yes, exactly. Exactly.<laugh>. It's so true. But he has it. Well listen, this has been packed with information and inspiration. I would love to know a little bit more about what is ignite humanity.

Speaker 4: 26:32

Well, thank you for asking. Yeah, absolutely. So I think that now more than ever, we have to be thinking about our future. We have to be thinking about our, the world on a global scale. And the truth is, I have watched 700 authors publish stories and make an a massive community and a massive impact. And I feel like it doesn't matter the color of your skin, how much money you have in your pocket, what gender you are, what you believe in, where you grew up. We all have the common denominator of the hero's journey and the human journey. And when we share that, we get to know people better. I sometimes say if two men were in a room talking about how they both lost their son, they would stand up and hug each other. It wouldn't matter. One was Ukrainian and one was Russian. That wouldn't matter. We could end wars, we could end, uh, poverty, we could end prejudice, we could end racism if people just learn the true authentic nature of one another. And so knowing that we don't need more policies, we don't need more politics, we don't need more capital, we don't need more bureaucracy, we literally can come together on a global scale if we truly understand one another from knowing their honest story. And I was like, okay, well that doesn't cost anything. Well, okay, I don't need to go and and picket anything. I don't need to do anything. I just need to start talking about let's ignite humanity by sharing our authentic stories. And so I thought to myself, who is igniting humanity? And of course I immediately thought of the Dai Lama. And so I'm so blessed to have just returned home from India. I got to spend time with the Dai Lama and talk about igniting humanity. And of course I wanted him to tell me what's gonna ignite humanity, thinking He would say love and compassion. And he said something so beautiful. He said, you just need to do the work. And he meant to me like you JB, go do the work. If you wanna ignite humanity, go do the work. Don't talk about it. Go do the work. Put in the time and energy. Share your vision. Tell people what you're up to and really believe. And I do so strongly cuz I've seen it over and over again. I was sitting on a plane beside a woman. She started telling me her night moment about how she had been looking for her father. She was in her forties. She literally knew his name and the city that he lived in, plus her mom's name and his mom's name. So she had 26 Miguel Louise's in that town. She ran her finger down a list, pointed to one, stopped on one, phoned him up and said, are you Miguel Louise? Is your mom named Peggy? Did you marry a woman named Linda? And he said, yes. And she said, I'm your daughter<laugh>. And that was so amazing because I instantly looked at her and I felt so much closer to her. And I thought to myself, you know, if this plane crashed, I would do everything to save her because she's my new friend. But if I would've never listened to her story and we would've just sat ignoring each other on the whole plane, that plane would've crashed and I would've just saved myself. And instantly in that moment, I knew that I had to make this my mission to ignite humanity through the power of sharing stories so that people can care about one another like they never have before. And so that's what ignite humanity is all about.

Well hopefully this will do a little bit more for you here because that's it. That's it

Speaker 4: 29:42

Everybody. Yeah. And you know, the way people can help, what we're doing tangibly is we're building schools around the globe because as a publisher we wanna care about literacy. And the way kids are going to make an impact on the future is through knowing what's possible for them. Mm-hmm.<affirmative>. And so we know that we need to ignite them through schools and through literacy. And so we are building 12 schools in the next three years. We are igniting people with our Ignite Legacy library. We are telling stories that are going around the globe. And so people can really be a part of what we're doing. I have an Ignite Humanity Live TV show, uh, a really allowing people to share their message and their vision and anything that we do so people can just find me and ignite humanity their life.

Speaker 3: 30:24

Awesome. Literacy is a passion for many people. I know. So I will be pointing them at you. I hope this is like, I hope this can do a little bit more to help your mission, cuz that's fantastic.
