Hello, my friends.

0:09

Together, run sixty

0:12

nine. And

0:15

I want you to begin as we always do

0:17

by touching some element of nature.

0:20

grounding yourself.

0:23

If you do not have nature to access,

0:26

just reminding yourself you are on this earth right

0:28

now. You can't

0:31

touch something just reminding yourself

0:33

that we are part of this world,

0:37

that nature is part of us. Are

0:39

we ready to see that going? And

0:42

three, two, and one. Here

0:44

we go.

0:45

gonna

0:48

be really quiet this morning because

0:50

it's nice and early. lots

0:56

of Christmas decorations, which

0:58

are still lit up, which if

1:01

you have Christmas decorations at home

1:03

or doesn't have to be Christmas any kind

1:05

of holiday Highs celebration lights.

1:09

Let's maybe turn off at night.

1:11

because,

1:13

you know, other

1:15

than, well, it's nice for me to

1:17

see as I go by

1:19

this time in the morning. That's

1:21

kind of energy that we

1:23

could be saving

1:26

very quickly look at it from

1:28

a financial perspective Highs now with

1:31

lot of concerned on

1:33

that or whether

1:36

you look at it from a environmental

1:38

standpoint, which I do. Either

1:41

way, let's turn them up.

1:45

Welcome to this together one. I

1:48

am excited you're here, thankful for you

1:50

being here. And I'm

1:55

excited it to explore

1:57

with you. Go back from

2:00

Austin yesterday evening. I'm

2:03

actually a plan on

2:06

recording this for you yesterday morning,

2:09

but I was just

2:10

cooked. And

2:12

I Well,

2:14

it'll

2:14

drive me wired to record

2:16

one of these to, you know,

2:20

tell you in the moment. to

2:23

make it be from Austin.

2:26

It's one thing I

2:28

realized is one, you

2:30

wouldn't want me overstretching

2:32

myself and it was even at the point where

2:35

didn't run yesterday at all. I

2:37

didn't I didn't run two

2:38

of the day, so I was in two

2:40

out of the three. and

2:44

he

2:45

wouldn't let me stretch myself

2:48

too thin, but also You

2:51

know, the heart of it together, Ron, is it?

2:54

You can't see anything. So,

2:57

well, it may have been like the,

2:59

like, chittering of bats

3:02

occasionally. For the

3:04

most part, you wouldn't

3:06

really mean the difference. So

3:10

I've decided to not

3:13

run and

3:16

then go to bed early last night. Let's

3:19

see if it were refreshed, but

3:22

definitely

3:24

better. So

3:26

want us to begin. This is your

3:28

first together, and I'm gonna lead us through a few

3:31

almost meditative pieces to begin.

3:34

Okay. That's nice and grounded and settled.

3:36

And

3:37

then we're gonna go into

3:40

a conversational

3:42

piece of our band together.

3:45

So we start we started with the

3:47

nature, which we already did.

3:50

And next, we're gonna go in and

3:53

do a body scan.

3:54

So

3:56

what I want

3:57

you to do, I'm gonna

3:59

describe

4:01

the parts for you so that you oh,

4:05

jeez. That does

4:07

find each other. Thankfully.

4:09

Dogs at

4:11

five thirty AM are probably not Lows

4:14

that are excited to see you. And

4:18

we're gonna describe it for you. Just

4:21

so you can really check-in and just

4:23

be present in those areas and see how things are

4:25

going. So you're ready.

4:26

Starting

4:29

with the top of your head, working

4:31

with going

4:33

into Highs eyes,

4:35

down through the Highs, around

4:38

the back of the head.

4:40

As we come around

4:42

the

4:42

front,

4:45

into the mouth, into

4:48

the chin, jaw.

4:51

Checking everything. It's nice and not clenching

4:54

or holding tension there. Just

4:56

continue down into the front of the neck.

5:00

Back of the neck. Put

5:02

it on into your shoulders.

5:03

Back in

5:06

the front.

5:07

As you continue down,

5:09

to the upper arms

5:13

and the elbow. Then

5:16

you can

5:16

see your forearms, upper

5:18

arms and rest

5:20

sticking

5:20

in with your hand. Top

5:23

of your hand.

5:25

Bottom of your

5:26

bottom

5:28

Lows. palm and

5:31

checking in with your fingers, making sure they go

5:33

relaxed.

5:34

pencil. squeezing

5:38

too Highs.

5:40

As you go down, continuing

5:43

on in through the lean part of

5:45

the torso, through your chest

5:47

and upper back.

5:51

and then

5:51

down to your Lows back. You

5:54

come around to your stomach.

5:57

Going into the Highs

5:59

and

5:59

pelvis.

6:03

So we

6:04

continue on until

6:06

the cord

6:07

and

6:08

hamstrings.

6:09

Let's

6:12

get down through

6:13

the back of the knee.

6:15

Coming around to the front as any.

6:20

If you go down into

6:22

the cough and chin,

6:25

I'll hear you down to put

6:28

inner ankle

6:29

up to

6:30

the side outer ankle.

6:35

See your heel.

6:37

It's the

6:37

arch of your foot.

6:40

The top of your

6:43

And finally, the

6:45

toes. How's

6:47

everything feeling for you?

6:59

We were just

7:01

sitting for a bit warm,

7:02

I think, over dressed

7:03

in that core temperature.

7:06

It's

7:09

kind of what my attention is,

7:11

but,

7:12

generally, my oh,

7:15

nice. parts I mentioned. Feel

7:17

like, okay.

7:20

Okay. Thank

7:22

you for checking in with your body. My

7:26

neck gonna go into our census

7:28

chicken, which is gonna

7:30

be. We're gonna take in our

7:32

five primary census around us.

7:34

We

7:37

we're gonna end with Highs. It's

7:39

not it's the only generally babies.

7:42

Let

7:44

me

7:44

begin by taking

7:48

two

7:49

deep breaths that you can take. Doing

7:52

running. You can do it your own You're

7:55

in speed. What feels right for you?

8:07

What

8:07

do you smell?

8:15

Nice smell, leaves.

8:20

What about you?

8:26

What do you taste?

8:37

Me, even though I brush

8:39

my teeth after I had it,

8:41

I still taste my healthy greens. the

8:44

back of my throat. It's

8:46

not a bad thing. I like it. And on

8:51

that note. If you haven't, the

8:53

Arctic Greens is available

8:56

in all of Europe and

8:58

the US. for

9:00

the same not the same price,

9:02

obviously, the different currencies, but you

9:05

get the same deal because they are distributed

9:08

in those countries. It's not if you're

9:10

in Europe like they're shipping it out to you from

9:12

here. And

9:14

I really This is the time

9:16

of year to sign up It

9:21

I mean, I Lows the taste. My girls,

9:23

2A2 and a four year old, asks

9:26

to have us of it any kind they see me

9:28

drinking it, maybe even cup of it, depending

9:31

on the day. And

9:31

especially

9:33

shuffle

9:36

that I

9:37

give you is one

9:39

year free supply of vitamin D. Vitamin

9:42

D is the most one

9:44

of the most, I should say, like,

9:46

important things,

9:48

vitamins or whatever supplement

9:51

we should be taking to protect

9:53

ourselves in the winter

9:54

from all the nasties going

9:57

around that really helps

9:59

strengthen your immune system to

10:01

on its own. So it's really

10:03

cool that they give that as the as

10:06

your free gift of being

10:07

my friend. So

10:09

I just wanna mention that, like, I

10:12

I don't often talk about other greens

10:14

in. I mean, anything

10:16

other than hot cuffs, really. maybe

10:19

an email. But

10:22

I haven't told me to say this today. This

10:24

isn't a paid one. I just I

10:27

really do believe in it. I

10:30

noticed it very quickly the difference

10:32

in my energy levels. Within

10:35

about a month, Energy

10:37

level was just feeling good. But

10:39

more for

10:39

me was the mental side of just knowing

10:41

that had

10:44

my basis covered especially this time of

10:46

year and I don't know about you. sometimes

10:51

don't, like, go

10:53

a day without eating a single fruit or vegetable.

10:56

And I have a lot of, maybe

10:58

not guilt, but

11:01

just kind of like, oh, that

11:03

wasn't great. And

11:06

so this gives me

11:08

that like okay. Well, at least

11:10

I have my AG.

11:11

So yeah.

11:14

That's actually green dot com for a Dutch

11:16

team. And then back to

11:18

what is wrong. Talk

11:21

about the taste.

11:22

Next, if you want to take your headphones

11:25

out, You are welcome to

11:28

to listen to your surroundings. If

11:31

you prefer to keep them in, you

11:33

can listen to my surroundings.

11:35

and we're good to take forty

11:38

five seconds or so. Let's

11:40

just check-in with our ears. See

11:43

how things are doing.

11:44

and

11:46

just be quiet. So I won't need to take that

11:48

time now. Take your

11:50

headphones out or don't. What

11:52

do you hit?

12:47

in

12:50

a few seconds. Where

13:09

did you hear?

13:12

For me, I heard the

13:15

leaves living in the trees. I

13:17

have my footsteps.

13:18

I heard

13:21

the sound of my breathing.

13:23

And that was

13:25

about

13:25

it. I mean, maybe some cars in the distance.

13:27

I will

13:29

say with the leaves

13:31

and the trees, it's kind

13:32

of So, however,

13:33

it seems later here. There's

13:36

quite lot of trees still have leaves on them.

13:38

And it feels strange

13:40

that That's the case in

13:42

December. Maybe it is

13:44

normally that way, and

13:45

I'm just paying attention

13:47

more now. But

13:49

yeah, It feels like there's more

13:51

cheese. Leaves on the juice

13:53

right now. Blue.

13:54

I can't see

13:57

and

13:57

hear the I love my feelings. And

13:59

hear it now.

14:02

What did you hit?

14:05

new world. Alright, mate.

14:13

Next, we

14:15

go on to a sense of touch textile.

14:19

We are going to

14:20

Check-in with a

14:23

a sense of touch by being

14:26

in our body. Seeing

14:28

where retention is

14:30

drawn inside of us.

14:33

Just gonna be present there. Your

14:36

attention and jump. Your awareness jump.

14:39

wherever it Lows.

14:41

I'd be inside or outside. And

14:43

Just

14:48

gonna allow

14:50

it. So you're ready.

14:53

Let's go ahead and do that.

15:59

EMO

15:59

seconds.

15:59

Pay attention.

16:03

set a rest or keep pumping where

16:05

it goes.

16:31

Okay. And

16:37

last of all, Well, yes,

16:39

I didn't show you. I I was

16:41

feeling I

16:44

felt the

16:45

sows of my feet

16:48

in my shoes. I

16:50

can watch bouncing on my wrist.

16:53

ease,

16:54

going against my cheeks.

16:59

That's good. Yeah. I'll shut those. Okay.

17:02

And lastly, I want

17:04

you to go through the

17:06

site, your vision. Now

17:09

as always, I'll let you

17:11

go your attention

17:12

Lows. Try

17:14

and look all

17:16

the way to the left and all the way to the right

17:18

at some point up and

17:20

down. He taking

17:22

in your surroundings. But

17:24

I want you to one

17:26

thing I do want you to do has

17:29

always is to pick a detail

17:30

of some kind,

17:32

something that you would not notice

17:35

otherwise that

17:39

is intricate and maybe

17:42

it's natural, maybe it's man made,

17:44

but just something different

17:46

to pay attention to.

17:48

So

17:52

let's

17:52

go ahead and do that Lows.

19:10

If you've distracted off,

19:12

just gently bring your attention back. Just

19:15

try to

19:15

take your mental weight for us

19:17

of what you're looking at. few

19:44

seconds.

20:02

Okay. And

20:04

I'm just gonna you can keep working. I'm

20:06

just gonna my gloves are gone.

20:08

I took them off, but

20:08

now think it's

20:11

a little bit too cold. What

20:13

did you see? Turning to the rustling noise.

20:16

What did you see? Anything

20:21

jump out

20:22

at you is a detail.

20:24

You wouldn't typically pay attention to.

20:37

we I was really

20:39

paying attention to the

20:42

struggled

20:46

plants that have been cut down. Like

20:48

for

20:48

the winter. I'm just wondering

20:51

like well, she would

20:53

have been one doing, but I was. I'll stop

20:55

right there then. That's

20:56

what I was taking in. It

20:58

was dark here. So I

21:01

can't pay attention

21:02

to that much. I'm

21:04

gonna say at this time. Thank

21:07

you to you for

21:09

checking in with your body. Seeing

21:12

how things are doing, we're

21:14

now gonna go in and check

21:16

on our minds.

21:17

Are you gonna ask

21:22

the question of how are

21:25

you?

21:26

Really? I'm gonna ask

21:28

you that. No one needs to

21:30

give me the yeah.

21:33

Good. The short version. Even

21:35

if we were running together and you've

21:37

weren't able

21:39

to feel comfortable sharing with me.

21:42

What would you just admit

21:45

or accept, acknowledge

21:48

for yourself, within yourself. That

21:50

was a single person. But

21:53

it is good for us to check-in

21:56

and recognize that

21:58

we've never really one word.

21:59

And so we

22:02

a lot coming on at any one time.

22:03

So I'm

22:06

gonna give you a few minutes

22:07

to ask yourself

22:10

to really think about

22:12

what the elements around how

22:14

you're feeling are and

22:17

how are you?

22:19

Really?

24:12

few more seconds. If

24:15

you've lost just

24:16

wandered off, just bringing attention

24:19

back to the last

24:20

little bit.

24:48

Okay.

24:54

Thank

24:55

you for taking the time to check-in with

24:57

your I'll give

24:59

you my answer, and then we'll

25:01

work into the next part of our

25:03

run

25:05

that we've checked in with our bodies and our

25:07

minds. Although,

25:10

as usually say, I

25:12

don't tend to do the things I

25:14

tell you to do at the time because

25:16

don't wanna rehearse

25:18

my answer. I want you

25:20

to hear it and real time,

25:22

which is what we would do. If

25:24

we were running right, we wouldn't say

25:26

how are you and then talk at the same

25:28

time. So Lows

25:33

am I? Feel

25:37

like can't

25:41

take a deep breath right now in

25:44

terms of a mental sense.

25:46

Like I feel that

25:50

so many things. Like,

25:53

it feels like every emotion is

25:55

going around in my mind right Lows.

25:58

by

25:59

taking

26:01

that mental deep

26:03

breath as it hooks her out, it

26:05

like floods me

26:09

with thoughts.

26:12

And right now,

26:14

adjust, like,

26:16

only coming back. I

26:18

only have little pockets

26:19

of time. that

26:22

aren't enough to

26:24

explore Lows, if

26:26

that makes sense. Like,

26:29

I guess the more Positively

26:34

beautiful. Just

26:35

a few good ones.

26:39

Lows ones you can do. Highs?

26:41

You can think, wow, that was great.

26:44

I feel confident or whatever.

26:47

but

26:48

the ones that

26:50

go a little bit more into your core

26:53

or the ones that are

26:54

more

27:00

I guess, yeah, need exploring. Need

27:03

unpacking. as

27:05

we sit in the podcast world.

27:07

Those ones, I haven't had the

27:09

space to dive into.

27:11

And so I keep kind

27:15

of avoiding Lows

27:19

building in, not prioritizing

27:23

this space to do They were

27:25

saying on my flight yesterday, I

27:28

put like classical

27:30

music on for the two hours. hour

27:33

and a half. And just

27:39

didn't let myself. I

27:42

just listened to

27:43

uplifting music like I usually do

27:46

on a plane, but I've had

27:48

my go two songs that listen to. While

27:50

I'm flying up and down,

27:52

instead,

27:54

and I know you're curious

27:56

what they are.

27:57

Should

27:59

I tell you?

27:59

Yeah. Go then. Alright.

28:03

Depending on whether I'm going

28:05

there or going back depending

28:08

on how it's gone. Well, let's see

28:10

on a whole. These strips usually

28:12

are very positive. I

28:16

listen to the song.

28:19

Passionate by backstreet

28:22

Boys. maybe there's some

28:24

chances for back to your

28:26

boys. And while I think thought

28:28

that it might be about like love stories, I

28:30

find they hope. They

28:33

didn't help me. I just like to listen to them.

28:35

I also listened to

28:39

at least a few of the greatest

28:42

show and playlist songs because

28:43

hum

28:46

Yeah. Depending

28:48

on where where I'm at in my

28:50

mental state, I need

28:53

kind of reminding. In which

28:55

case, it'd be like never enough.

28:56

or,

28:58

like, to remind me to,

29:01

like,

29:01

take a moment. Or it'll

29:03

be

29:05

Well, yeah. There's too many.

29:07

It couldn't be any of them really. And

29:11

a few others. These are the main ones. Okay.

29:13

So then Oh, yeah.

29:18

So, yeah, it's kind of everything. I

29:20

feel I feel you know,

29:23

I don't know if you feel this, but sometimes you can

29:25

feel yourself changing. You can

29:27

feel yourself sorry. That's

29:29

gonna be. You feel yourself growing

29:31

and part

29:33

of of that is

29:34

Tina edits of the book.

29:37

I know in about a

29:39

month or two, I have to let go

29:41

of it. and say, alright.

29:45

It's the best we could do.

29:48

And I

29:49

know I'm gonna grow in that

29:51

time and change

29:52

one

29:55

minute left at the thirty minute group. I

29:57

know I'm gonna changing that

29:58

time. And so

29:59

there's gonna be some statements in there

30:02

or thoughts in there that I am

30:04

like, oh, don't agree with that anymore.

30:06

And maybe even someone will point them out. We're like,

30:09

why'd you say that? Like, well, I didn't

30:11

actually do that. Well, then why'd you write it?

30:13

Well, I did it the time. You know,

30:16

and especially environmentally. At

30:19

this stage, the speed

30:21

at which

30:22

solutions are being worked out.

30:24

Some of the smart is people in the world are

30:27

working in various climate solutions.

30:30

Some of the things I say may be

30:33

irrelevant by time it comes up.

30:36

You know? So I think

30:38

part of it has been very aware of that,

30:41

that I can feel

30:43

myself growing I have to put

30:45

myself out there soon in that way. I

30:49

would say feeling it across roads or

30:51

not even across roads in my career. I feel

30:53

like I've stake the path.

30:56

I've chosen the road. And

30:58

now I'm at that point

31:01

where I've committed,

31:04

and it's like,

31:05

alright.

31:08

Now go confidently. And

31:10

there's still that like, hesitation

31:13

of, where am I doing the right thing?

31:15

Like, you know, there's

31:17

gonna be some hard decisions. already

31:21

had a hard conversation with the

31:23

team, who I'm very thankful

31:25

for some of them kind

31:28

of rescuing me from myself in one

31:30

in one way. So

31:33

I know I'm gonna need more of that. I

31:35

know this next year is

31:37

gonna be hard in that way. And

31:40

I'm a little bit scared for that

31:42

for many reasons. And

31:44

so this again,

31:46

I need to find that time to

31:49

process some of you mind myself, but

31:51

I can't right now just

31:54

seemed to build my day out with

31:58

too much to

31:59

ever give it up, you know. And

32:02

part of that is the fact I have young kids,

32:05

but most of it is

32:06

myself, being

32:10

sketchy.

32:12

Okay. Sorry, thirty

32:13

minute when probably Lows came to

32:15

walk if you didn't already.

32:17

Let's do that now.

32:19

give you a seat about

32:21

thirty seconds just because I went

32:23

over there. Before

32:25

we do our two strides, strides

32:28

are tens of fifteen seconds

32:31

at about eighty percent of your max.

32:34

Not meant to be taken steps. See

32:37

more of the opposite little steps. We're

32:39

all gonna do this. Just thirty

32:41

minute. You're gonna be doing it from

32:43

walk. Yeah. I'll walk and we're gonna

32:45

the rest of us will be doing it

32:48

forever run. So

32:48

Yeah.

32:58

We're ready. Three, two,

33:01

and one. Here we go.

33:05

should just

33:05

be taking more steps. Just

33:07

building that power. Little

33:09

jolt of feed.

33:13

and come to a jog or

33:15

a walk. We'll do one more

33:17

of those

33:17

and take minute group. You can be on

33:20

your way.

33:26

Now, I

33:29

wanna remind you at this

33:31

point.

33:32

We do have Patreon as

33:34

one way. You could support me through

33:36

this change, this transition, do

33:38

this following of my heart.

33:39

It really

33:42

if you can do the smallest level

33:45

at three dollars a month, That

33:47

makes a difference that's buying me a coffee.

33:49

That means I can leave my home where

33:52

there's all these distractions and

33:54

then expect to be quiet and go

33:56

to a coffee shop. Well, actually, three dollars

33:58

won't get coffee nowadays left. But

34:00

you buy me most of a coffee.

34:03

or if you can if you can

34:05

do the the kite

34:07

tiers. Look at bonus materials.

34:10

And you're also just helping me showing

34:13

you take value especially in these runs.

34:16

If you appreciate these runs, That

34:18

is the number one thing you can do to help

34:20

me.

34:21

But

34:24

I understand this is a tough time. And

34:26

so if sharing

34:29

this on your social media or

34:31

in your earning group is something

34:33

more reasonable for you, Lows

34:35

do that. That really helps. And

34:37

I see your post for the

34:40

post that those of you share say thank

34:43

you for those, it really means a lot.

34:45

Alright. Ready. Three, two,

34:47

and one.

34:50

There

34:50

will be links to

34:52

Patreon in the show notes. Please

34:55

go check out.

34:59

And

34:59

come to the joke.

35:03

that unit group. Go

35:05

ahead and take a picture of you

35:07

right now. Having done that together and go

35:09

and share it. I'd love to see

35:11

it in superstars. Can't

35:15

get social media or

35:18

Yeah. Just maybe telling

35:21

me that you who you shared it with and

35:23

who maybe if that person then did it, Lows

35:26

to hear.

35:27

Thanks for joining me.

35:31

Okay. Let's

35:33

continue on.

35:36

Look at that ten minutes so for the

35:39

forty five before you come for come to

35:40

a walk. At this point, I

35:43

wanna ask you to share

35:45

with me since we last and together. What

35:48

have you been up to? What

35:50

news do you have for me? If

35:52

we were running alongside each other, what

35:54

would you tell me? I'd Lows to

35:56

know. So if

35:59

first time running

35:59

here, if you're new together running

36:02

on a what would you tell me about

36:04

yourself? If we'd never

36:06

met before, we're running alongside each other

36:09

in the group run and we just

36:10

kinda landed next to each other What

36:13

would you tell me about you? Let's

36:16

go ahead and do that now.

37:25

wondered

37:27

off. Let's gently bring it

37:29

back. she

37:34

told me.

38:16

Coming in

38:18

for final few

38:20

seconds for you. Anything

38:23

else you would be willing to

38:25

share? and get

38:26

back in your mind. We have to forget things you've

38:28

done.

38:28

What updates you have.

38:48

Okay.

38:54

Thank you so

38:56

Taken the time to share. Lows

38:59

hearing that. Those

39:02

of you who do share it. you

39:04

know, do you hear

39:06

your updates, and

39:10

I'm gonna give you some

39:12

of mine.

39:13

in

39:15

just a minute. Okay.

39:27

So for me, I suppose

39:29

she lay something down. I It's

39:33

like my shoelaces on that. For

39:37

me. Okay. Update. Yeah.

39:42

Okay. Let

39:44

me begin. I'm into oh,

39:47

stay as I mentioned

39:48

before. Well,

39:51

actually, since I Lows because

39:54

together and I shared last was a

39:56

few weeks before New York. So there's

39:58

a lot of updates

39:59

for us since

40:02

then. But I'm

40:02

just gonna stick to maybe

40:05

the last week.

40:06

Also,

40:09

a few weeks because you would have run

40:12

with me on that day. So we

40:14

can just

40:14

stick to that. So

40:18

in the last week, so yeah, you heard I

40:21

was in Austin for

40:23

the last few days.

40:25

Got back yesterday. And

40:27

the reason I was there was

40:30

to and my

40:32

co author and I Zoe have Zoe

40:35

Rome have been

40:38

missing each each other awful. You

40:40

couldn't find that we can, but we'd be back to win the

40:42

same place, or we could even, like,

40:44

handle a we can't even

40:46

find a weekend where You Lows could,

40:49

like, dedicate some a whole day

40:51

to doing some stuff. So it's

40:54

really challenging. and she said

40:56

she was gonna be in Austin at

40:58

the end of November. And Austin

41:01

for me is around half away.

41:04

and as much as I despise taking

41:08

a flight for

41:11

sought one thing. I

41:14

was like, well, you know, you need

41:16

a cover. lot of what I do

41:18

is waiting that pros

41:20

in the cons, benefits

41:23

of the general impact, I suppose,

41:25

of what I'm doing versus

41:28

the emissions, I'm picking up.

41:30

I'm well aware. I'm picking up

41:32

emissions with the

41:33

adam nice

41:37

travel that I do.

41:40

And while I can be extra

41:42

careful and thoughtful and embarrass

41:44

my friends on every my reusable

41:48

stuff everywhere. Still

41:53

plain. but we knew we needed

41:55

cover pictures covers

41:58

the most important factor

41:59

of whether someone purchased

42:03

a wick or not yet. We all know

42:05

that. And

42:08

so we needed to do it. So it was going down there

42:10

for And she was there for the

42:12

running comfort, the running event. I don't

42:15

really even understand what that was. I'd

42:17

heard people mention it primarily through

42:19

over the years. people texting me

42:21

saying, are you gonna be at TRE

42:24

and being like, the run

42:26

experience? Like, what is that? And And

42:32

so I knew what it was, but didn't

42:34

really grasp what it was.

42:36

Let me just say, this is the most

42:39

intense thing. I've done in

42:41

a long time. In

42:44

terms of

42:46

It's

42:48

kind of so many people there

42:50

that you know, but

42:52

also that you wanna talk

42:54

to because there's like really cool

42:56

companies doing

42:58

really cool things that you wanna talk to, but

43:01

most conversations there don't end

43:03

up being quick. They're usually

43:06

like twenty minutes minimum and

43:08

then there's loads of events outside the

43:12

running event and it's just a lot. And

43:15

so I didn't have a badge

43:17

in.

43:18

But

43:22

I had a friend who was

43:24

staying

43:25

the he's

43:28

only there for a little bit on the first day.

43:31

So

43:32

I believe there's your imagination.

43:36

Shouldn't really

43:36

be saying that publicly should I.

43:41

But the thing is had I thought

43:43

about it ahead of time? A

43:45

few people, a few brands I work with that were

43:47

like, I can't have easily given you

43:49

a badge So it

43:51

wasn't like I was taking it

43:53

from someone

43:53

else.

43:55

Anyway, so I was in there

43:59

and

43:59

doing that We did the cover

44:02

pictures. I had lots of really

44:05

deep meaningful conversations with people

44:09

primarily, you know, meal times,

44:11

coffee times when you get into

44:13

it, had a few really long

44:15

stretches of time. with

44:18

people I really admire

44:20

and kind of a mentors to

44:22

me in many ways. So

44:25

let's get get that chunk of time

44:28

to get to know

44:30

them and also

44:32

to just

44:32

talk through some stuff.

44:35

Got about a minute

44:36

left forty five minute group.

44:39

And so

44:41

and then within the

44:43

expo part of it.

44:46

There's always there's panels and stuff conversations

44:48

happening. And it's a one of

44:50

the eight, but Generally,

44:53

you know, this brand's like me

44:55

learning about these brands that are doing incredible

44:58

work in sustainability, and I've

45:00

never even heard of them. And so

45:03

that was really cool coming

45:05

across them and having really

45:07

good conversations with them and

45:09

feeling like excited about

45:12

the representation of them in

45:14

the running event. There were a lot of a

45:16

lot of stands that

45:19

had stuff about sustainable

45:22

to your materials.

45:23

So it's definitely coming

45:26

up as an important feature.

45:30

and made me feel good. I

45:32

think, Gonzalo, you know, I might just hit the wave

45:35

at the right time. to get message

45:37

out,

45:39

including to one of the most

45:41

interesting

45:42

people came across was

45:45

This company called Got Sneakers, and

45:48

they

45:51

give you send you a

45:54

bag. a lovely bag, big one

45:56

those, like, mailer bags,

45:58

you know, if you know what that is.

46:00

And, like,

46:02

not a, like, bubble

46:04

wrapped one, but like

46:07

the ones that some companies send

46:09

for return items with the

46:11

stuff. Anyway, so they sent that.

46:15

Give you the

46:16

they who sign up for your account.

46:19

When you sign up, you put

46:21

in you connect it to paper

46:23

or something or come to a

46:25

walk. We have an already forty five

46:27

minute group hold. Give it about thirty

46:29

seconds.

46:32

You signed up for account and whatever

46:34

all of you wanna be paid

46:36

and they'll send you either

46:38

a check back or deposit

46:42

when you send in your shoes. So you

46:44

put your your what you consider one

46:46

queues are all your shoes. And

46:49

they said, only ten percent

46:51

of shoes cannot be

46:54

part stun to someone else that

46:56

they have found. And that ten percent

47:00

is they found ways to partner

47:02

with other companies or

47:05

factories to recycle them like

47:07

cement shred them up to

47:09

become a part of

47:10

you know, as well.

47:13

Take your arms or something. Okay. Let's do a

47:15

try. Three, two, and one.

47:18

Tather a thinner

47:18

in a minute.

47:28

Okay. I'm doing jog

47:31

or

47:31

a walk. Give you

47:33

another thirty seconds,

47:34

and then we'll do one more.

47:37

At this point friends,

47:38

I wanna remind you forty

47:41

five minute crew, you take a picture when

47:43

you finish. I don't care

47:45

what you look like. don't care if

47:47

your hair's a mess or your background's

47:49

boring. It doesn't matter. What I

47:51

get to see is your

47:54

lovely face. And imagine

47:56

we were running together.

47:57

So, share

47:59

it or share the screenshot

48:02

if you prefer. But I really would

48:04

love to see it. If you have the

48:07

ability to support me on Patreon, that means

48:09

say much. Well, as I mentioned,

48:11

48:18

give me a big you

48:22

big support, and I mean that this time of year

48:24

especially, they are

48:27

extra kind to us. and

48:30

I should add for anyone who

48:33

has Afrikaans and if you're

48:35

listening who has has

48:38

it every month or gets it delivered

48:40

every month or for those of you who are

48:42

thinking about it. Let's

48:44

just drop a little sneaky

48:46

in and say, you may not have

48:48

to buy something next year.

48:53

So maybe another reason to just say

48:55

no. Okay.

48:59

Let's do one. Let's try three, two,

49:01

every one.

49:10

Highs

49:12

and come to a jog.

49:14

Forty five minute crew. Thank you

49:17

so much. You can hang out and listen.

49:20

to

49:20

what I was saying. Recycling

49:23

is more to that. Or you

49:27

can head off. Thanks for listening.

49:30

So yes,

49:30

the sneakers shoes, trainers,

49:33

whatever. So,

49:36

yeah, ten percent. We see that

49:38

ten percent. They admitted. They

49:41

need to figure out what to do with that. Ten

49:43

ten percent because they

49:45

you

49:50

know, that's still it's been well, it

49:52

got up cycled. which means

49:55

it's life is being

49:57

prolonged,

49:58

but after that step,

49:59

it's still going in the landfill. and

50:02

they recognized that. And

50:04

they said, they have some

50:07

oh, SiV, some of the biggest companies

50:09

in the world. reaching out to them, and

50:11

I my jaw drops when I had them say,

50:14

which ones?asking them

50:16

how they can be part of it. So

50:20

exciting.

50:21

i'm

50:23

And and then yeah. So you send them in

50:26

They pass their shoes on to what

50:28

you and I might see as, you

50:31

know, two one. Other

50:33

people do not.

50:34

And so

50:37

they passed these on

50:38

and they pay you

50:40

up to seven dollars a pair of

50:42

shoes. But, you know,

50:45

still. You don't have

50:46

to do anything that you sign up. Just

50:49

come to you. And

50:50

so that's

50:52

one way of avoiding

50:54

the landfill that makes it nice

50:56

and easy for you. I know for us, there

50:58

are locations for drop offs for skews.

51:01

But there for me, it's like twenty minutes away.

51:03

So it's a bit of a pain to get to,

51:05

but, you know, I just find it

51:08

when I'm over that way.

51:10

I just can't

51:11

remember

51:12

when my stuff didn't end

51:15

up just forgetting two

51:17

or three times. I

51:20

have a massive box and then

51:22

it's like I'm

51:23

constantly sitting in my mind. Okay.

51:27

So there's that. Yeah.

51:28

There's a lot of really cool conversations

51:32

happening. And,

51:35

yeah, events outside of it. I

51:38

haven't seen it out so late in a long

51:40

time. I wasn't like partying, but

51:43

there's just so many conversations happening.

51:46

So doing like

51:49

getting in at twelve to

51:51

stay in this area and two

51:55

of the eight. leaving again

51:57

by six fifteen.

51:59

So now you

52:01

see why

52:02

you've kind of cooked.

52:06

and also why

52:08

I'm kind of all

52:10

over the place because I haven't really

52:13

had the time to process that and I don't know about

52:15

you, but I find writing things down

52:17

really helps me. My memory

52:19

isn't great. And

52:22

so I like throwing things down,

52:24

but I find that when you're in something

52:27

that busy, like you just

52:29

can't I just

52:31

didn't find the time to

52:32

write it down. So then afterwards,

52:35

you like backtracking

52:36

through Okay.

52:39

Who do I see first? Or I

52:41

usually go backwards again. just saw this

52:43

person. I saw this person. So

52:46

On the plane, I tried to untangle

52:49

that ball of ball of

52:53

ideas. and

52:55

thoughts as I flew back yesterday.

52:57

So yeah.

53:02

I mean,

53:02

the summit tomorrow could say, but

53:04

at this point, I want

53:05

us to go ahead, do another

53:07

body scan.

53:09

I need to check-in

53:11

with your body, your own

53:13

pace. but just scan your weight

53:15

down.

53:16

So let's go ahead and do that.

53:29

That's

53:35

waking up.

54:18

I know a few seconds.

54:20

She's not got body scan to kick in.

54:40

Okay. Thank you

54:42

for checking in

54:44

with your body. Highs

54:45

it feeling now compared

54:47

to at the beginning?

54:53

So put in two chicken.

54:58

So

54:58

we've got about

55:00

six minutes to stand the

55:02

left. I wanna actually talk

55:04

to you. Those of you still on

55:06

here, I got my hardcore. The

55:09

hour. You know, they're

55:12

really the ones that reach

55:14

out the most. stay tuned, and thank you for that personally.

55:17

Thank you for your shares. Thank

55:19

you for your Patreon support or

55:22

other support. It means a lot. And

55:24

if I could ask

55:25

you. I

55:29

based

55:30

on this weekend just in general, I'm thinking

55:32

that my role in

55:35

this intersection of sustainability and running

55:37

is that sustainability

55:41

as a whole is quite overwhelming

55:43

to most

55:45

people because And

55:47

correct me if I'm wrong, this is where I'd really love to

55:49

hear from you. It can feel

55:52

like You have to be extreme

55:55

and that like if you

55:57

kind of start paying attention

55:59

to that, you have

55:59

to be perfect at it. Like, we have to

56:02

never fly again.

56:02

We have to, like,

56:05

commit to never ever in your life,

56:08

picking up a plastic bottle again. And

56:10

I have so many people now who I

56:12

encounter, like, every day

56:15

who maybe

56:17

have a plastic water bottle in the hand. and

56:19

they're like, so I'm so sorry.

56:22

I got this yesterday or like,

56:24

oh, no. Team is gonna judge me and

56:25

I hope I come

56:27

across that. I'm not perfect with

56:29

this stuff either. But

56:33

I think

56:34

a lot of activists kind of

56:36

come across that way. Like,

56:42

very like, you're not

56:45

doing enough to get your act

56:46

together. You're killing us

56:48

kind of thing. And I feel like mainly

56:51

my role is to Lows

56:53

the seeds in people, make

56:55

us think about the little things we can

56:57

handle. And then once we

56:59

care enough, Lows

57:01

we don't care before. But once we I

57:03

guess it's in our psyche,

57:05

in our

57:07

we can

57:07

start maybe taking

57:09

a up like I did recently to go to

57:11

my talk to my mayor. You know,

57:13

I only just did that. So

57:17

Is that my role? Like

57:19

helping you

57:20

sort through which

57:23

brands, which brands

57:24

care about sustainability, but is the

57:26

ones who are just screen watching

57:29

and

57:30

which and like

57:33

alerting you, letting

57:35

you know about programs or

57:38

groups that are

57:40

doing really cool things.

57:41

Like for example, the goo.

57:44

tericycle program, which if

57:46

you haven't heard me talking about this,

57:48

please check out the link in

57:50

the show notes or go check it out online. Goo

57:54

is in the gel. It's doing this

57:56

terror cyclo recycling program for

57:58

all brands.

57:59

where you collect up your

58:02

gel wrappers, your snack

58:04

wrappers, like your neutral

58:05

values and Doritos

58:07

or whatever. and you

58:09

crack them up. They'll give

58:11

you a pack a mailing

58:13

and shipping label,

58:15

and you ship them off.

58:17

and who recycled them for you with

58:20

tear cycle. And they also have

58:22

drop off tear cycle has drop

58:24

off location And this includes

58:26

your picky bars,

58:27

all those things. But

58:29

like, if no one knows about

58:32

it, All those rappers are going in

58:34

the trash. So

58:35

is that my role to become that person

58:37

who

58:37

be like the average

58:39

person kinda comes to? feel

58:42

like they can be part of the solution rather

58:45

than like doing

58:47

not doing good enough. You

58:49

tell me, I really would love you. Like, I really

58:51

mean this I would love your thoughts.

58:54

I'm really trying to untangle this right

58:56

now.

58:56

And it's a

58:59

lot And so your

59:01

opinion on what you

59:03

find helpful

59:08

a lot So if you could
