Absolutely. Tim, thank you for having me on the show. I really think we're going to dive deep and get into some really juicy stuff. Thank you for the invitation.
Oh, sure thing. We're going to talk some deep and fascinating things that I think is really going to be very thought provoking. And where I want to start really is, you know, you said you've been speaking since you were 18, but the story behind that to me is pretty wild. Yeah. You practice speaking to a room full of stuffed animals before you ever stepping on stage. So walk us through how that led to you speaking in Africa.
That's right. I love that segue. It really did. The early years of entrepreneurship is really one of the pillars that I believe in the Sea Lake. And this is the early years for me that helped set me up to Africa. By speaking, you're right, to a room full of stuffed animals as my first captive live audience. The great thing about practicing with stuffed animals, your bestie, your stuffy, your toys, is that you can go into whatever childlike imaginations and joys you want without any judgment or fear of rejection or any of that. It's a great training ground. It was for me to be able to practice My gift and my passion for communication. One of the jokes I say is that I came out of my mummy's tummy blabbing and talking like I was meant to be a speaker and a talker from the day that I was born.
So my stuffed animals were my first fluffy audience. Of course, my first breathing audience was the neighbor's dog. I was able to speak to as well with no judgment.
Yeah, and it's – isn't that really the key? If we could always just think about there's no judgment because most of the time there's no judgment anyway. The only people doing the judgment is ourselves. That's right. Absolutely. So your first real speaking audience was an orphanage in Kenya. Yeah. Talk about that experience and the perspective and what you actually learned from that and what most people miss from being in the comfortable environments that we actually live in.
That was a real eye opener for me at the age of 18, being in that orphanage in Kenya, because the poverty in these countries, you're well traveled, Tim. For myself, being due into Africa, it was the first eye opening experience for me outside of North America. to really get in the trenches of what deep poverty is. Now, I'm not diminishing what poverty is in Canada or the United States or Mexico, but the deep poverty that's in a place like Africa It hit me when our translator picked us up from the airport to drive us to that village orphanage. It gets to you, but also you step back and you think, okay, I have nothing to be ungrateful for.
