Build a Practice That Fits Your Life: A Conversation with Dr. Michelle Wendling

What if your practice actually supported your life instead of controlling it?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle Wendling, chiropractor, coach, and founder of Be The Best Chiropractor, to talk about what it really looks like to build a practice rooted in freedom, joy, and alignment.

With over 30 years of experience in chiropractic, bodywork, and business ownership, Michelle shares how she went from running a successful cash-based practice to selling it and stepping into a lifestyle of travel, flexibility, and intentional living.

This conversation goes beyond strategy. We talk about identity, mindset, and the internal shifts that allow you to stop operating from obligation and start creating a practice that actually fits you.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning if there’s another way to do practice, this episode will expand what you believe is possible.

In this episode, we cover:

•  How to build a chiropractic practice that supports your lifestyle 
•  Why most practice limitations are self-imposed 
•  The difference between practicing from obligation vs. passion 
•  How coaching, community, and environment shape your success 
•  Why copying other successful chiropractors can hold you back 
•  How to reconnect with joy in your practice 

Key Takeaways:

•  You don’t need to follow someone else’s blueprint 
•  Your practice should evolve as you evolve 
•  Freedom starts with internal clarity, not external strategy

You are listening to the Staffless Practice Podcast. We aim to serve the facilitators, practitioners, and teams of the wellness practices of our community with real deal Monday morning ready tools. Be sure to follow us wherever you're watching. Tag us, like us, and make sure you check us out online at gostafless.com. So I have a big deal in my podcast room today, Michelle. I'm kind of feeling like a little stork. So it's so funny because I had like three Michelles on the podcast in a row, and I'm like, who am I seeing today? Right. So we we hold this podcast to give people inspiration to be more joyful in practice. So that if they're coming from a place of joy, that's only going to be contagious. The fear and the anger and the resentment are contagious, but so is the joy. So with that being said, Michelle, I'm so happy you're here. Please tell our audience who are you, where are you, what do you do, all of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Excellent. Thank you, Jody. Thank you for having me on here. And I love the concept of spreading joy. That's what my whole world has been about. So it's so exciting. Um, I'm Dr. Michelle Wendeling and I own beTheBestchiropractor.com. Uh, I am currently in Pensacola, Florida. And I say currently because we travel all over the globe. Um, you know, we my husband and I love to travel. We love to be in different spaces, we can work from anywhere. And so part of living your joy-filled life is to wake up where you want to wake up, wherever that is.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

So, yeah, that's what I am. And you're not in practice anymore as a practicing chiropractor. No. How long has that been? How long have you been on the road?

SPEAKER_01 1:51

So we sold our practice. I I sold my practice in 2021 so that we could um start our life in an RV. And we traveled in an RV all over the country for two years. And I will tell you, there's nothing like waking up in a new space, having new energy, new vibe, experiencing a new local culture uh to really shake things up. And there was so much amazingness in the United States, and we just went place to place to place um for two years. It was amazing. But they're crazy. Yeah, we found Pensacola, and that was like the epitome of joy. Like, you have to come visit. It's unreal.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Oh no, she's freezing, Michelle. You're freezing on us. It might be, yeah. So if you freeze again, we'll just have to get creative.

unknown 2:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

I work creative.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

When you started the whole journey of like going and living your best life and doing the RV thing, how did you even know where to start? Like, first of all, wait, I want to know so much about this. How what did you say to the gremlin that was like, this is crazy? I can't really do this. I want to hear about that. And then I also want to hear about like, how do you know what kind of RV to buy? How do you know where to go? How do you know that you're not gonna get like kidnapped at three o'clock in the morning and then I don't know anything about, I want to hear all about it.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

Well, so first of all, I call it monkey mind. The gremlins for me are called monkey mind, and they are always present, right? They're always present, and it's important for you to listen to them, acknowledge them, and then let them know that they're not needed. They're not currently needed in this situation. Um, I am uh optimist all the way down to my toenails, and uh I will tell you that that I always run worst case scenario. And what I mean by that is okay, if this happens, are we gonna end up under a bridge? No, okay, let's do it. And it helps me take more risks because I know for sure there's some kind of safety net that would keep me from being in my worst case scenario. Not that living under a bridge would be that bad, depending on where the bridge was, but I digress. You'd be the troll under the bridge, except you'd be the the, you know, the whatever fairy under the bridge. Um, but yeah, I mean, honestly, it was just I I'm a planner. I have spreadsheets for my spreadsheets. So I calculated out all the numbers, everything made sense. We sold everything we owned. It was wonderful, super freeing, scary, yes, but amazing. And it set me up to be able to see even more possibilities for myself, for my life, but also for my clients. And I just think that was such a big shift. Like, take building a practice is a huge risk, right? Starting your own practice is a huge risk. And all of those things I did with meh, like I got this, right? Right. This, and so the RV wasn't that much different because it's a calculated risk based on information gathering. So I'm an information sponge. So I think that helped.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

Do you have any risks that you're like, that's next that you have that you're planning for right now? Yep.

SPEAKER_01 5:05

Right now we are currently planning to not have any house again. That's next. Right now we've got we've got three houses in Pensacola, two are rental properties and one is our house, and we want to rent all of them and just start traveling again. Um, from there, we're gonna springboard onto a sailboat, and then the sailboat will be what we live on for the next two and a half to three years. Um, and ideally, I'd be able to pull up to an island, adjust people. They can bring me some eggs or some shoes or some chicken or whatever, and we'll just barter and I'll just adjust the world.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

And that's that is completely badass. So I have to connect you with Karen McLachan. She is do you know her? Karen, yes, I do. She's a chiropractor and she lives on a sailboat. We we did all of her, like her website and her practice suite, and I was like, where are you gonna go next, Karen? Like looking vicariously through her as we were we were building all the pieces for her. Isn't she in St. Pete, Florida? She's in St. Pete. Okay, yeah. I think she's so I got to go on her sailboat. Oh, you did. Oh, you guys really know each other. So let her know that if we talk to her soon, how much I love and adore her. She's amazing. You know, here's the thing like we we I think when we're learning in school, and when and some of us when we're new in practice, we're in this box of limits.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Big time.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

There's always limits, like there are always boundaries, and I think to some extent that's healthy. But if you my coaching, the group that I am a member of that I get coaching from, um, they have me do this dream 100 list of like, if I could wave a wand and you know what, in my world I can. And if I could wave this wand and say, these are the people that I want to work with, these are like the one day, right? How do you turn? Because if I'm only here for a hundred years or 90 years or 80 years, whatever I have in store, right? How do I, how do I live my best self now doing this scary thing that are outside of the limits? So the other thing that I'm learning more and more is that if you don't ask, you can't get a no, and you also can't get a yes. So I've been really like, I don't like the term ballsy, I like the term like over E. With like, you know what, I'm just gonna ask. And most of the time when I do, it's a yes, it's a big fat yes. So how how do you give us some examples? Like, how do you live your life not being confined by those boundaries or those limits?

SPEAKER_01 7:48

Well, so I also I've been being coached for 15 years with a group that the very first question they ever asked me, and now I do this in my coaching too, and you've experienced this too, which is if I was Santa Claus, what would you really want? Let's leave the house out of it.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

But you're not Santa Claus, silly. I'm not Santa Claus at the North Pole.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

Thank goodness I'm not Santa Claus. That would be a lot of work and a lot of cookies, and I'm not sure I bought for that. But but I always ask myself and I ask others, like, what what would you create if you could create anything? And and and it starts to train you to stop listening to the monkey mind. Because the monkey mind is like, well, how's that gonna happen? Well, that's never gonna work out, and blah, blah, blah. Right. And so you have to just go, shh, hang on, let me vision first. We'll figure out the how later. I'm gonna build a transporter unit that's happening, and I'm gonna do it by next week, next Thursday. I'm not gonna worry about the how, I'm gonna figure it out. We're just gonna do it. Right. And so by by creating that and looking at things that way, it helps a lot in getting past those boundaries that you nailed it. We make those up ourselves. Those are all self-imposed, all of them.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

How much of that is having the right tools? Like we can say, I can wave my wand and want to create this and that, but if I don't have the tools to do it, I'm out of luck.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

Absolutely. Well, and I think you need the tools. I think you need the community because validation is a true thing, and it you need to have things reflected back to you as a human being. That's just that's why we're in herds, right? That's why we're in groups. We're not just off solo. And so I think you need a good community. And you, yes, you need the tools for sure. And the tools can be taught fairly quickly. Um, but but you have to follow it's practice makes permanent, right? Whatever whatever you practice the most often becomes your rule, becomes your rule, your law, your uh your boundaries.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

So if and then I go back to that with the question, is anything permanent? Nothing.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

Thank goodness. And that that makes making a choice easier, right? Because I mean, you'll hear people are like, oh my god, what hours might I put? I don't know what hours to set my practice. Like, nothing is permanent, right? It's all fluid, it's all flexible, and it's all your choice, which is so amazing. You follow your own recipe, don't follow someone else's. I mean, use pieces from someone else's so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Yes, got it.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

But make it your own, you know. I have so many thoughts going through my mind as I'm intentionally listening. So one of them is as soon as you figure it out, it changes. That's like the aha from being a mom, right? As soon as I figure this kid out, he starts to change. As soon as I figure A out AI out, somebody comes out with a new code or a new, and nothing, so like some of some of our clients get really frustrated. Like, I thought you said this was the way it works. And I'm always super transparent about not holding on to any of it because none of it's real, it's all an illusion and it's all temporary. The other thing that I'm thinking a lot about is um I'm training for a half marathon right now, and I'm doing a lot of running. I'm running like 20 miles a week, I'm biking like a hundred miles a week, and in my runs, if I see somebody coming my way, like I am not a natural runner. If I see someone coming my way, it gives me inspiration to like step up my my pace or like smile or look cool or whatever it is, because someone's coming my way. And if that doesn't happen, it I'm less inspired. And when you talk about herd, like being part of a herd, even if it's a perfect stranger or if I'm running in a pack of people, or if I'm if I'm like I'm going to Lyceum the weekend after next at Sherman and being around chiropractors who see chiropractic through the same lenses that I do, it I don't even know what to expect of how I'm gonna be inspired. I just know I'm gonna leave there as a better person. So, what herds do you roam with? Like, what are your groups? Where do you love to hang out?

SPEAKER_01 12:02

Oh my goodness. There's so many. Really, anytime like this weekend, I just went to visit a Cairo up in Chicago and experience the Chicago, not necessarily smiling thing on the sidewalk, which is not something that happens in Pensacola anymore.

unknown 12:16

Right?

SPEAKER_01 12:17

In Pensacola, you smile and they smile back.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

Oh, jerseys like they spin on you.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

It's so bizarre, right? And you have to learn to let that go, absolutely. But um, hanging out anytime I get to hang out with docs, any of any kind or any service providers, it's absolutely what lights me up. Um, I have groups in Colorado, the um, I guess they're called the Denver Boss Cairo ladies, and they are bosses all the way. They're so fun. And so I used to hang out with them all the time. It's been hard, I will tell you, finding a crowd as an adult because we move so much and we're we just now have about I would say six or seven decent friends here. And that's a good, that's a good group. It it really is now, but you asked me six months ago, and it was half that, you know, it's a lot of work to facilitate and be part of a group and be part of a community and always show up. Um, and I'm always the instigator, so it's a little tiring there. But the reward is, you know, outweighs the uh the work all day long, all day long.

SPEAKER_00 13:23

Are most of your groups chiropractors?

SPEAKER_01 13:25

Most of my groups online are chiropractors, yes, absolutely. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 13:30

Um, can we go back to the RV thing?

unknown 13:33

Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

We can talk about that all day, Jody. How do you know where to start? You're listening to the Staffless Practice podcast.

SPEAKER_01 14:11

So we we sold everything knowing we were gonna go to a condo that um my in-laws owned in in Florida. So we sold everything, went there, shopped for an RV, knowing that we're both gonna have to work. We both needed a room where we could have conversations at the same time, right? And an RV, in case you haven't noticed, aren't very big, right? So we got one with a with a center bunk, with a mid bunk, they call it, and the door closed. So my husband's office was in there, and I sat either at the uh kitchen table or outside in the beautiful nature. Um, and then yeah, we just we basically said, Well, we've never been north, let's go north. And so we went north, actually went through not too far from your neck of the woods. We went up to Niagara Falls and we went around New York and uh Rhode Island and Connecticut. So I've never been up there. Are you a second year? No.

SPEAKER_00 15:05

No, okay, so you didn't have to wait for the kids to be done, the blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

Great.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

Yes, I consciously chose not to be a parent, so that was that was like I love I love the permission that you give yourself to just live your best life. I think it is wild and so cool, really inspirational.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

Well, I think to me, my my shadow is obligation. That's my dark side. And what do you mean, Kingdom Paca? When when somebody when I feel something as an obligation, it tends to take over my whole life because I'm I'm extremely loyal. Um, I will go out of my way 10 times over for a friend, whether or not they love me back. I am but then that that ob when I live there and I think, oh my gosh, I'm doing this out of obligation, not out of joy or choice, then it it really uh squishes me. It makes me feel small and it lowers my energy level. So I really had to be clear that moving forward, I'm not doing this RV, because it was my husband's dream, right? But I wasn't doing out of obligation to him. I was doing it because it really got to a place where it was so exciting for me and I really, really wanted to do it. So as long as I stay in the box of uh passion is the opposite of obligation, curiosity is the opposite of doubt. So as long as I say in curiosity, stop, stop, hold on, say it again.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

That was so good.

SPEAKER_01 16:37

Passion is the opposite of it's it's the light side of obligation. So when you're in something and it feels like you have to do it, find a passion in it or don't do it is really the other answer. Children is a great example. We are so passionate about our children, about our family, about things in our lives. And so when you're leaning into obligation because you're like, I have to pick them at school, or I have to make them whatever it is you have to do, you don't really want, I have to punish them because they didn't do such and such. Lean into the passion side connection that you have with that child. And oh my gosh, it makes it more fun, more doable, more energizing. So but for everybody, not only for you, but for your kid too.

SPEAKER_00 17:23

Right. Keep practicing. I have a 17-year-old, almost 18. Oh my gosh, congratulations. And I have a 20-year-old, and my 17-year-old graduated high school a year early and started college. So he's doing full-time college load and he's working a lot, right? And I find myself doing things that I didn't love receiving as a mom, as a kid, when my parents were or my parent was raising me. So I keep challenging myself to I'll see like the tendency doesn't go away. I still see the right. But I'm then I'm the next thought is okay, let me find the good, let me find something to celebrate because he is so worthy of celebration, right? So yes, and as I practice that, it becomes easier and easier, and then I like myself more, he likes me more. And then all of these consequences to right actions start to pop up. That's never not true.

SPEAKER_01 18:23

Agreed. In practice, anywhere, like a lot of docs are seeing patients out of obligation, and it's only because all of a sudden it started to become routine instead of something they looked forward to. And so now it starts to feel like obligation. I have to go to the office, I have to see these patients. Oh, that one guy's gonna come in and he's gonna whine, you know, whatever, whatever about his big toe, right? And and docs slip into that box rather than leaning into the passion. And the same thing happens there, and we see it all the time, and then burnout happens and so on and so forth. But really, it's it's really about take a step back and go, okay, collect the joy. Look at what I'm why am I a chiropractor? Why am I here? Why am I mom? Why am I here? Right? What do I love about this? And then all of a sudden the obligation kind of melts away.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

I think that two, there are two really important components of having a coach. And I'm not a coach, I I run a marketing and practice joy agency, right? I do consulting, but I'm not coaching. We have coaches, and here's what they here's their lane, and I'm gonna assume that this is yours too. One is the coach is like, oh, look at that. Look at that little thing that's happening right there, where you don't see the thing because you're in the thing, and the coach is like, Well, no, no, no, come back, look at that thing right there, it's still there. What are we gonna do? How are we gonna hold curiosity around that thing? That's one thing that my coaches do for me is they say, Jody, you gotta look at what's happening, get change the lenses, like put a different set of lenses on, and then come back to me a week later and make sure I did something about it. If the the number one thing, and I've been coached, I've been a chiropractor for 26 years, and I think all of those years I've had a coach. I've spent probably$500,000 on coaching over the past 26 years. The best of the best, right? And the best coaches come back to me with the, oh, look at that. Okay, let's do something about that. So true. Do something about that, they hold me to it the next week. There was before the pandemic, I was working with a nutrition coach, and um, it was the fastest to my goals that I had ever hit. And the difference, it wasn't her program because everybody has the same program. It's like eat less, move more, right? So it wasn't a program. It was, I knew that she was gonna call me on my stuff if I didn't do the oh, look at that, right? So talk to me about how important that is in your world, having it for yourself, but also offering it to your clients.

SPEAKER_01 21:06

Well, so a goal is kind of a promise you make to yourself, right? And so, and you know how it feels when you tell yourself something, I'm gonna start going to the gym, and then you don't. And you know how that feels, right? And and that promise of consistently letting yourself down is just an energy dream. It just consistently brings you down lower and lower, makes it harder and harder to crawl up that mountain, to push the stone up that mountain, as some of my clients say. They're I'm starting pushing a stone up the mountain. Okay, well, let's let's figure out a system to do that, you know. And and I think the biggest piece is is really stopping and and finding the one thing, yes, but then figuring out what works for you to fix the one thing. To me, a coach is a collaborator, and you say, like, like you're GPS. You say, I want to get there. And the GPS says, all right, here's some routes to get you there. Do you want to drive by the water? Do you want to drive over the mountain? Do you want to drive around the corner? Right. How do you want to get there? There's lots of ways to get there. And there's only one or two ways that really work for you, being integrity with who you are. So I joke about you got to find your own recipe. And I say that over and over again because I think that's the biggest piece is yes, you have to have an action step, absolutely, but you can't have someone else's action step.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Right. So give me an example of having somebody else's action step, please.

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Well, so in school, and when you first get out of school, you're told this is how you need to schedule patients. These are your hours you need to have, right? This is, you know, and you look online and you see very successful chiropractors of any walk of life or successful practitioners of any walk of life, and you go, Oh, I guess I have to do it like them. And the truth is, if you do it like them, you'll have their practice. And you don't want their practice, you want your practice. So getting a little more clear on what that feels like to you, which is definitely trial and error, right? There's a reason it's called practice. Right. Because you got to try on the dress to see if it fits.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

But if you stay, if you stay, if I say, I'm gonna speak for myself, if I stay in my house over, you know, on the weekend, if I don't go to the convention, if I don't make an effort to go participate in the community, I'm not gonna see the things that I want to manifest for myself in my practice. And I remember when I was in my, I guess I was in my 20s, I was studying Janine Roth, and she teaches, she's got a book, Women, Food and God, and she basically teaches women who uh don't naturally eat like um eat food, use food and money um in a healthy way. She teaches them how to get healthy with it. And I learned so much from her, right? And um I would go one of the things I it was self-assigned, one of the things I would do is I would go to a diner. This sounds really weird, but it really worked. And I would I would find the women who looked really comfortable in their bodies and um who were thin and fit and just had this beauty about them, and I would watch them put their fork down between bites, I would watch them leave food on their plate and then run away. I would watch them take a sip and then take a bite and chew for a minute. And these were all things that I never learned. I'm dinnermen, right? So I had to learn how to do the opposite of what I was taught and then find my rhythm with it. And I still go away and come back and go away. There are some things in my life that are constant learning lessons. So um that's why we have women like you in chiropractic where we can say, look, look, this is possible, guys. You may not want the same RV, you may not want, you may want to have a mailing address that you're at six months out of the year. You may want to follow exactly the way that Michelle is doing it, but at least we have these options. We have these. Lona Cook is another person that I think of. Like, she's just a torchbearer. Like, watch her go. Amy, Amy Burke moved to Italy, bought an island, opened a wellness retreat. Like, truly, whatever we can dream is possible, especially in 2026. Can you talk to us about um where do we find the tools? Where do we find, if say we have a dream of having a practice and being happy in it or whatever it is, where do we start with the journey of searching?

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Well, I think there's two pieces to that. One, go out and gather that information, go to those seminars, go learn from the people, like find some blueprints and then realize that they're fuzzy blueprints. Don't don't follow them like an engineer necessarily. Look for places where you can find yourself. And that's the second piece is really look inside. Like do more self-care, listen to yourself, be quiet for a minute, take the weekend off. Those kinds of things. So that what? You talk to my husband. Who does that? Yeah. Who's on the weekend? What is that? I don't even know. Right. So, but when you take the time to figure out who you are, when you get to the places you want to get to, you will be there. You will be there, right? People are like, oh, I went to Bali to find myself. Wait, that was me. I did that. I wasn't there. Jody, I wasn't in Bali. I went to Bali to find myself, and I wasn't there. I just brought myself with me everywhere I go. And I think that's the piece is realizing that you are who you are. So the recipes aren't going to be exactly the same. But yeah, you first you have to go out and see what works for you, trial and error, and give yourself permission to try it.

SPEAKER_00 27:04

Do you do you agree that the people who you surround yourself with are your greatest teachers? Like, can you speak a little bit about that?

SPEAKER_01 27:13

Absolutely. Um, so I I'm part of women chiropractors, and I do feel I love that group.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

I just love it.

SPEAKER_01 27:22

I know we too. And I do feel that you draw people to you with the energy you reflect out.

SPEAKER_00 27:29

Right.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

And so there's always there's good and there's bad in every group, in every city, in every country. But if you shine your light, the people who are going to be attracted to it are going to be attracted to it not to steal it. They'll be attracted to it because it lights them up too, and then it'll reflect. I I use the analogy of, you know, a candle doesn't lose its light when it lights another candle, right? So the thing about the community you're in, if you feel like you can unembashedly support and cheer for and celebrate the other people in that group, you're you're in the right space.

SPEAKER_00 28:08

Well said. And how do you know when if you're in a community and you that's kind of true? How do you know when it's your it's your dharma or your job to light it up brighter versus just saying, you know what, I'm gonna find a different community?

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Well, so actually it's kind of funny because one of the questions you said you were going to ask me, and this is the answer to that question, whether you knew it or not. And the thing I would go back 10 years ago or even 20 years ago or 30 years ago and tell myself is don't be scared to love them even when it appears they don't love you back. Because almost always we make up stories because of people's reactions that it means something that it doesn't mean at all, right? But we're making up those stories. So the rule is if you're gonna make up a story, make up a good one. So shine your light regardless. Shine your light regardless, and do not have attachment, because attachment dampens your flame. Disappointment dampens your flame. So don't have attachment to what their response is, just enjoy their response, whatever that is. And shine your light in many places. What you'll find is that suddenly you're getting more energy from this other group than you were from this group number one. And you'll just naturally drift to that group. I don't think you not you necessarily have to consciously decide these are my people, not my people. Although I do say that to myself a lot. Um, but I think the first thing is to go, do I feel energized? Not going there. So here's the thing: the the pre-talk, the pre-head talk, that's your monkey mind going, you're not gonna have any fun, nobody's gonna like you, you're not wearing the right clothes, what's wrong with you, right? That's that's before, but after, after you take, you go to the thing, wherever it is, you hang out with the people, feel your energy then. Because almost always it's elevated. Once you start a conversation in an elevator with a stranger, your mood is elevated. You're scared to start it.

Listen to that too, right? Like you leave a seminar and you're like, that was the worst experience ever. You guys don't do it again. Right. Yeah, be a quick learner. You could learn really fast and then leave. Is there anything else that you want our audience to know? Because we're at time. I can't, I could talk to you for like five hours, but unfortunately, we have 30 minutes scheduled for this.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

I understand. Thank you, Jody. Yeah, I just say, you know, dream bigger. Just look, look for what is possible, and and not even what's possible. Maybe even ask the people that in your big trust group in your in your uh community of love, ask them what's possible or what your superpowers are or whatever, and start leaning into those a little bit more. There's so much possibility, and nobody's recipe, most people haven't even written a story like yours is going to be.

SPEAKER_00 31:04

Most people haven't even written a story like yours. So many things. I cannot wait to re-listen to this. And if I can just take like 30 seconds and say what I see as your superpower, you have this infectious light about you. And it's like you talk about lighting a candle. You are a candle, and being around you, and I didn't know this about you because I don't really know you, but being around you makes me want to go be better. So that's your superpower, my friend, and at least one of them that I can identify. And um, I'm really grateful that you said yes to this opportunity.

SPEAKER_01 31:41
