I thought, well, Josh has just inspired me and thousands of others in this room by reading his letter.
I wonder if my letter could inspire somebody else as well.
And I looked down at my wrist and I was like, just help.
And so I clipped up the video and posted it online.
Two days later, I get a message from a woman in South America who said, Ruben, I don't know how this happened, but your video has appeared in my feed.
I'm literally at the police station right now reporting sexual assault.
I've been here for 11 hours, and seeing you and where you've got to inspired me to stay here and go through with it and report the assault.
Wow.
The words that she finished with were, you saved my life.
And I'm waking up to this message on like, it's like the first thing I see on like a Wednesday morning, I'm getting out of bed, bleary-eyed being like someone saying you saved their life.
I'm like, well, okay.
So yeah, like, you know, had you guys not invited Rana onto your show and Josh, had you not had the courage to speak up about or share your letter with us and, you know, had that woman not slapped me on the way out, you know, who knows where we'd be right now.
Oh, 100%.
A thousand times over.
100%.
I mean, and even like, you know, without that, I probably don't continue to post as regularly as I do.
And there's been hundreds of messages that have come in since then.
And what you're doing is helping so many people.
Thank you for the kick up the butt.
Thank you for sharing that.
