Has the ispra tell Us- and I was last featured on episodes four hundred and thirty seven propellers is all about creating actions between friends and family and also making up people can reflect on their own lives effectively. What we wanted to do with this measure, people take a moment in time to really stand still with the other duration shifted they haven't relies cyber starting with the two friends were. Have nice idea for himself noted just want to do something fun with their family You notice that it is really all expectations on water, another friend and certainly Kane on his school. You should give us just now. I see this as something that other people are enjoying as well and

and then they realise. That is something that this could also really be very successful in the: U S or normal, because people are facing me more, an honest connections and as someone I got involved today to bring them to the US as well. This is really become a main hustle and that a real job. At this point we have we currently employed twenty five people, some of friendship. And before I was doing the greatest thing in a fortune, five hundred company, I think one of the court that is always stuck with me. The most is that the biggest threats like the great life he's a good life. You know, and I was definitely having a good life framework. I had left a sort of like the perfect thing tat you can imagine myself making inferior decent money. I got my two weeks. Alot vacation bastard, not appreciated me, so everything was pretty good but figures. There was always a good thing like in the background right of dismissing not quite yet. That's what made it in both of these decision for me to leave behind

Of all the otter biggest thing that we probably have done and as something that we have done at the beginning of this year, late last year, beginning of this year, so that we can move to online as well. It's obvious to me right now that we can use technology to actually connected one, and so I think now that we're being forced to- and I hope that something that can stick and they can really see like the value of technology, generally we ve seen spoken in our minds than those journal, because people are really getting into like being a retrospective. You re, looking at what it is doing in their life, are already on the fact that they personally agree with right, not something that has just given by society where they feel that they have to do. They really Like understanding off you know what it is that they're doing what and I'm really having a positive mindset about that is worth looking at the positive things that the small winds in a day as opposed to the idea of crazy stop it,

in this new world. Rather, I think there is just a really cool opportunity for like a lot of new businesses due to color sprang up and find they are. We are going to have this real connection that thing because I'm gonna cut it right. At the end of the day, there just an advertising that its that's just not a simpler, less instagram, perhaps live a better, but there's going to be a new and different ways that people want to connect, there's something that we will continue to want to do in life and just blow one of the different after the corona, nowhere that so because the government will continue to put up restrictions were because people are just anxious about the potential consequences on getting sick while twenty.

They may what can we say about twenty? It has been a weird year in so many ways. It's not surprising that people are asking those questions of themselves that will emerge, and this is a great time to actually take stock of your life whenever the world is kind of turned upside down. I've been suggesting this in and try to do this myself. You know ever since all of this kind of stuff started so asking these questions. Are you on the right path? You know not the path that society necessarily dictates for you, but one that is right for you. It's always a great time to create positive change in your life, and so I also really liked what Willem said this was going to take away. He said: don't let a good life, keep you from the great life and that's why he ended up making a big change in his life. Don't what a good like keep you from the great life? I think somebody out there needs to hear this. You know if you have a good life right now, that's cool, but is there a great life? That's kind of you know just waiting behind sums. A change in direction that you need to make up. I'm grateful to him thanks.
