00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:29.239
Well, welcome to our experiment,
the one hundred person Project. Simple questions

2
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.880
for one hundred people. I'm Bill
Correll and this is my investigation. It's

3
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.439
actually a research project to gather data
from one hundred beautiful human beings for the

4
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.439
sole purpose to see what actually happens
in the interviews. Now, the questions

5
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.359
are going to be all fixed and
the interviews will remain consistent with the variable

6
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:51.079
being the actual participants themselves. And
it's almost as if I'm having you come

7
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.479
sit on my porch, Genevieva,
to share your ideas so I can learn

8
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:59.039
about people. We're looking forward to
what we're going to discover when we're done,

9
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.200
and not quite sure what it's going
to be. But this is going

10
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.359
to be fun. So you'll get
to know our guests through the interview and

11
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.439
let's dive in. It's my distinct
pleasure to introduce my guests. Well,

12
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.760
how about I let you do it
for me. What is your full name,

13
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:19.680
Genevieva Putty a person so lovely?
Tell me about that middle name.

14
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:26.239
That's that's beautiful, thank you.
So actually Padilla is because it is actually

15
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:32.840
my maiden name. I have to
maintain it due to my native American ancestry.

16
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.719
Nice, good for you. So
what is your favorite nickname that most

17
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:46.920
people don't know? I would say
Viva, and a lot of people call

18
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:55.719
me that because it means life.
It does Eva le fronts right, right.

19
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.640
So when did you first note us
what color hair you had? Oh,

20
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:09.439
that's interesting. Maybe when I was
younger, I guess. I don't.

21
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.639
I don't know. You know,
I've definitely different color. It's gotten

22
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.240
lighter as I've gotten older, for
sure. Do you have a time when

23
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.719
you noticed that you had hair?
Probably maybe when I was in kindergarten.

24
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:32.800
Yeah, yeah, I always had
really really long hair. Interesting. Now,

25
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:42.360
what is your favorite thing to do
to intentionally waste time? Oh,

26
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:49.080
intentionally waste time? I don't know. I don't really like wasting time,

27
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.919
So that's a difficult question. I
guess maybe it would be to primp myself,

28
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.879
you know, just to I think
that's a big time wister. You

29
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:10.919
spend much time doing that, truthfully, possibly, And I know I'm pretty

30
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.800
social, so I don't know if
that's a time waster. So that's kind

31
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:23.319
of an odd question. They're all
odd. Yeah, So we'll move on

32
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:30.759
to the next one. What is
your favorite movie? To watch alone Guilty

33
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:49.080
Pleasures. Huh. I would say
it's a Diane Keaton movie and oh gosh,

34
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:55.120
I can see his face and I
can't. Ah. It was based

35
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.560
in I want to say, off
of Cape cod or something are the Hampton's

36
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:08.360
and uh, Diane Keaton, and
it was about this couple or these two

37
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:14.759
that meet. They're both successful,
they're both in denial there there, They've

38
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:19.439
got a lot of life experience.
And you know what, the name of

39
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:24.279
that movie actually eludes me. But
for some reason, it's so peaceful because

40
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.319
maybe that it's where I'm at in
life. But I'm sorry. The title

41
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:35.639
is definitely escaping me feeling pressure.
What's unimportant is what the title. What

42
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.920
is important is how it makes you
feel. And I appreciate you expressing that.

43
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:46.199
Mm hmm. Yeah, it's I
think it's just two people who've gone

44
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:53.519
through life and they're successful, but
they're jaded in relationships, and then they're

45
00:04:53.519 --> 00:05:00.839
coming to the realization that they want
a long term partner in life that's committed

46
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.920
to each other and supportive of each
other's endeavors. And I think they form

47
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:15.160
a friendship through an interesting trauma.
The gentleman Jack Nicholson something's got to give.

48
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:20.720
That's the name of it. There
you go, see what happens when

49
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.120
we take the pressure off. Yes, it's a beautiful thing. It is

50
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.480
a beautiful thing. No good And
so you think you'll watch it again sometime

51
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:36.879
this week. It's a good possibility
now that you've mentioned that. I haven't

52
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:43.399
watched it a while. Yeah,
all right, So number six, you

53
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.759
were to have an action figure made
of you, Viva, what superpower would

54
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:57.040
it have and what would the colors
of its uniform be? Huh? I

55
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:02.000
think the colors of the uniform would
be gold. And the superpower that we

56
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:14.439
would have is feeling capabilities. Hmmm. Say some more about that. Well,

57
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.160
my Native American name actually is Medicine
Eagle. My father, who is

58
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.759
a registered we're both registered in the
Yestta delsor Peblo, which means little Island

59
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.519
of the South. It's the south
most southern Publo people. He actually named

60
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:40.040
me medicine Eagle because typically I like
to make people feel better. So I

61
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:46.079
think that that would be yeah,
my superpower, the great superpower. You

62
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.600
could do a lot with that,
couldn't you? I could? Yeah?

63
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:57.439
I think you do. Well,
Thank you welcome. What did you want

64
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:03.560
to grow up to be when you
were five years old a mom. Yeah.

65
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:09.519
Other than that, I really didn't
have any idea and I'm still kind

66
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:14.839
of searching for that as we speak. Now that mom, you know,

67
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:21.639
is empty nesting. I think it's
time for new endeavor. So yeah,

68
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:33.279
wonderful. Along those lines, what
is your greatest accomplishment? M hm?

69
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:45.839
Producing humans that contribute in our kind
in this world? I think that would

70
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.160
be my greatest accomplishment. It's a
pretty darn good one. Thank you,

71
00:07:50.279 --> 00:08:03.519
welcome. Who is your favorite person
to listen to? You say some more

72
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:11.399
about that? Okay? I will
actually so interestingly enough, we met you

73
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:18.759
know where at the Chamber of Commerce
meeting at the Romantic Chamber of Commerce meeting

74
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.480
where correct me please if I'm wrong, but you were the treasurer at the

75
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.079
time that I met you. You
might not have been treasurer, but I

76
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.480
was definitely on the board. On
the board, okay. So we had

77
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:37.559
just become the company that I owned, had just like blown up exponentially,

78
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.759
or was on the COSP I should
say, because it was pre COVID,

79
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:52.799
And I remember your kind overall being
and approachability, and I felt so comfortable

80
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.960
in you know, talking to you
in a new setting and meeting new people

81
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.600
in having to to introduce my company
as you know, one of the corporate

82
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.240
sponsors for the chamber, and you
know, new settings could often you know,

83
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:18.440
deem uncomfortabilities, of course, and
you, certainly, for some reason,

84
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.360
we're just a comfort And you know, I felt an instant connection with

85
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.799
you. Yeah. I feel the
same way about you, you know,

86
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:33.039
like there absolutely was, you know, a connection that was very quick and

87
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.960
very easy, no doubt about it. And I appreciate that. You know,

88
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.759
it's it's, uh, we've known
each other for several years now,

89
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.519
and uh, it's it's quite a
it's quite a thing to u in this

90
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:50.120
podcast for you to mention that you
like listening to me, and I do

91
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.879
appreciate that. Perhaps, Oh,
I'm sorry I didn't introduce no worries,

92
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.240
I said, I'll try to step
my game up a little bit and continue

93
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.240
to be listenable. Okay, Well, I also wanted to just tell you,

94
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:13.720
you know, your professionalism and your
thought processes are most welcome. Your

95
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:22.039
tonality is certainly something that I don't
know, there's just such a level of

96
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.600
comfort around being around you and in
your presence. I think you have a

97
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:35.480
lot of wisdom and life experience,
and that you have an area of good

98
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:41.480
intentions. So well, that is
a lot. Thank you. You're welcome.

99
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.120
I'm going to spend a minute or
two after we're done really kind of

100
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:52.519
thinking a little bit about what you're
saying. If there were a design to

101
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.519
my life many many years ago.
A lot of what you're saying has just

102
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.960
come out. Okay, So we
wanted to be somebody who was not only

103
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.559
trustworthy and comfortable, but also very
intelligent and also be able to know when

104
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:22.720
to know when to be quiet.
So okay, all right, enough about

105
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.399
me, so please complete this sentence
when I grow up. I'd like to

106
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:41.039
when I grow up, i'd like
to be able to maintain Masl's hierarchy of

107
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:52.759
needs comfortably while helping others. That's
very interesting. So where on the hierarchy

108
00:11:52.759 --> 00:12:05.519
would you place yourself? Where would
I place myself else? Oh, let's

109
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.720
see, so the five and correct
me if I'm wrong. Our shelter food

110
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:20.679
heat, shelter food heat. What's
the other? Uh? Psychological? I

111
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:26.039
think is the other one? So
I would gray that's level yeah, yeah,

112
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.799
so right, survival, I would
say that that's me right now.

113
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.960
Yeah, yeah, stylish survival.
I would say, oh, thank you.

114
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.679
I just I'm a little bit messive, you know, messy. I

115
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.879
just came from the gym from working
out with my tribe. Thank you.

116
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.279
I admire that about you. You
do get out there and break a sweat,

117
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.080
and that's a good thing. It
seems like most times we get together,

118
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.320
you've just completed some kind of a
workout. Thank you. Yeah,

119
00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.080
it's it's it's helpful overall well in
your well being. Yeah. So that's

120
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.960
an interesting place for the next question. What's the most important thing in life

121
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:13.759
to you right now? Yeah,
it actually is working out. Yeah,

122
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.679
I do that like I look at
it like brushing my teeth in the morning.

123
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.759
And the reason being I was in
nursing school and understanding anatomy and physiology

124
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.639
of the human body is so important. But it's more than that. It's

125
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:35.399
the endorphin high that you get when
once you reach you know, the aerobic

126
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.840
anaerobic stage. And you know,
aerobic is of course including oxygen, and

127
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.360
anaerobic is lack of oxygen. But
once your endorphin level gets up there,

128
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.480
I call it your happy pills.
I'm like, you must be a crazy

129
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.879
person if you're not happy once you're
done working out. So you know,

130
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.159
I call that like taking my happy
pill in the morning. And it's not

131
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.480
just about that. There's so many
different aspects of you know, working out

132
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.519
that I find beneficial to where I'm
at in my life right now, and

133
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.759
that is a supportive tribe of people. I think there's a movement in this

134
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:20.320
country of you know, of especially
women, to support one another and to

135
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.399
you know, not be quote unquote
caddie and gossiping and you know, to

136
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:33.840
be able to compliment each other and
you know, want better for each person

137
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.279
or as an overall unit. There's
something to be said for that. And

138
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:45.039
there's actually tangible evidence which we never
had twenty years ago, you know,

139
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:50.679
of oxytocin being brought out when you
compliment somebody. It actually you know,

140
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.799
elevates the brain levels. So there's
multifaceted purposes for exercising and so where I'm

141
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.279
at in my life, it's it's
definitely really important and it's a platform.

142
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.799
Yeah yeah, baseline for everything.
Huh m hm. Absolutely mental and your

143
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.600
overall well being very clear, and
that says to me that your foundation is

144
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.080
strong. Oh, thank you.
I try. I think I found something

145
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.600
that's working. You've definitely gotten inside
of it, both physically and intellectually.

146
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:30.039
It's something that you are on a
mastery path for and the difference between you

147
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.919
know, just doing things like to
complete it and doing things to see what

148
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:39.320
it feels like and to experience new
elements of yourself, that's the mastery path.

149
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.840
Yeah. Absolutely, And just to
add in a little bit, the

150
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:52.919
extra benefits are you know, I
had lost I've lost now nearly one hundred

151
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.759
pounds since two thousand and seven,
so it's been a yeah, long processes.

152
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.159
I've I've pushed myself probably farther than
I ever thought that it was capable.

153
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.480
But it's it's a it's a self
movement as well, because you're not

154
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.679
really Yes you're competing with others,
but no, you're not. You're competing

155
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.759
with yourself when you work out to
be better than you were yesterday, whether

156
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.159
it be to take a couple extra
running steps, or you know, like

157
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.440
setting many goals, and it really
translates and this is I guess now that

158
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.120
we're talking, I'm talking out loud
and processing. You know, it really

159
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:36.440
translates into life goals. You know, you know, you take a couple

160
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.720
extra steps maybe you know, you
save some more money towards retirement, or

161
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.039
you know, you get better credit
so that you're able to obtain a nice

162
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.720
house, or you know, go
on on nice vacation or whatnot. So

163
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:55.240
I mean it really, you know, is parallel along lifelines, if you

164
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:00.559
want to take comparison. So I've
lost weight, I've been through a couple

165
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:07.519
of car accidents, unfortunately one of
them. Actually they I went in because

166
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.440
my back was bothering me. And
you know, working on your core and

167
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.640
everything is so important. But again, you know, like the overall well

168
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:21.240
being in the health. You know, I could have sat there and said,

169
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.279
ah, I'm just gonna, you
know, feel sorry for myself,

170
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.839
pop some pills, and I don't
do that. I get up every day

171
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:33.599
and you know, I pushed myself
to try to do better to feel better.

172
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.240
You know. So there's it's like
I said, it's multifaceted. So

173
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.400
I'm sorry to go out on fund
tangents. That's what I do. This

174
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.319
is your time to do that.
And as a matter of fact, every

175
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.279
time you open your mouth give an
insight to the warrior spirit that lives inside

176
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:56.200
of you. And it's really an
amazing thing to hear someone who says I

177
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:02.920
can't picture just sitting around and growing
old. Thank you. See, that's

178
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.480
why I really love you. I
really love you as a good friend because

179
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.880
you were just like you find that
like overall, you know, goodness in

180
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.079
people, you know, and you're
also inspiring you know, you inspire me

181
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.599
as well, so and validate perhaps
what I'm trying to do as well.

182
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.960
So thank you. Yeah, and
you do know that, as you said

183
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:29.079
before, the oxytocin that happens in
both the giver and the receiver, right,

184
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.480
yes, to the point where you're
not sure who's giving and who's receiving.

185
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.759
I know, it's a wonderful thing, right, it's a close symbiotic

186
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:45.920
relationship. Goosebumps, right, yes, exactly in the crown of your head,

187
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:51.039
in the back of your arms.
And yeah, that's that's a good,

188
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.519
good way to step into the next
question. What would you like to

189
00:18:53.599 --> 00:19:00.279
leave in the world after your life
is done? Genevieva. Yeah, so

190
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:07.599
again, you know, I somehow
over the past couple of years, and

191
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:15.720
you know what I've shared with you
in my personal struggle of I don't know

192
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:23.240
if I should I will. You
know, my heart got broken and so

193
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:32.519
finding my warrior spirit and coming back
through all the tribe, you know,

194
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.279
the tribes of people in the support
groups, such as yourself, you know,

195
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.599
being renamed Viva, which means life
is substantial. So you know,

196
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:48.720
I've held somebody when they died.
One of my customers I had for fourteen

197
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:56.240
years, and it's the most humbling
and honorable thing I think you can do

198
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.240
is to see somebody out and they
trust you to that level. I think

199
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.559
people, I'm going on a tangent
again like I always do, but I

200
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:15.279
think people Anna, you know,
Anna would use a death a context as

201
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.200
it's awful and things like that,
but it can actually be one of the

202
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:26.039
most beautiful experiences when you're able to
say goodbye to somebody. I think death

203
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.839
when it's sudden. I actually just
had a good friend died yesterday. Wow,

204
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:45.400
last night I received the news.
And so something I've struggled with is,

205
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.480
you know, I want, like
a best friend in life, to

206
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:56.559
hold somebody's hand and die like a
broken heart of true love in that process.

207
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.319
I was with somebody for twenty five
years and I always be true that

208
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:04.599
I know of concretely for ten years, and I was honorable to that person.

209
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:14.960
So there was that was not reciprocated. So you know, the rest

210
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:19.039
of my life, I want to
live it out and possibly find somebody that

211
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:25.480
would do the same thing for me
that I would do for them. But

212
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:30.640
when I pass, like you know, going through the heartbreak and owning the

213
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.680
name Viva as life, you know, I didn't realize that I had it

214
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:40.640
inside of me. So I want
to live and I want to be remembered

215
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.720
for making people happy and feeling better
and educating them on that process and that,

216
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:53.680
you know what being vulnerable and just
being true to yourself and it's okay,

217
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.880
and that you don't have to feel
scared about that. I want people

218
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.960
to celebrate my life when I die. I don't want somebody to be sitting

219
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.759
in a church and saying, not
that there's anything wrong with it, but

220
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:12.359
I feel like life should be celebrated. I don't think that it has to

221
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:18.680
be a concrete thing. And I
want to be perhaps maybe celebrated for bringing

222
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:26.599
joy and love into people's lives.
So yeah, I see that tremendous opportunity

223
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.759
when there's that exchange and it's a
it's an exchange of power, you know,

224
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:40.039
it's an energy exchange where the trust
is so present that it's invisible,

225
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.559
and then there's just a moment.
And to experience a lifetime of those moments

226
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:55.079
in whatever you're doing. Not a
bad way to teach other people. See,

227
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.240
you're so eloquent, and you know
how you translate. When I just

228
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.640
said so, thank you, I
think I feel like I do get you.

229
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:10.160
I feel like there are some things
that you When you speak, it

230
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.319
wakes me up in areas that we're
not awake and very much appreciate that.

231
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.720
Thank you. I think that's a
great legacy that you just spoke into existence.

232
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:27.359
Oh, thank you, And believe
it or not, we're at the

233
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.799
baker's question. Okay, So when
you and I go to our baker and

234
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.200
we order a dozen of something,
they always give us the thirteenth, right,

235
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.119
Okay, yeah, okay, So
instead of twelve questions, we've got

236
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.440
thirteen. And here's the baker's question
for you, Genevieva, Miss Genevieva,

237
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:55.839
Miss Viva. What is the thing
that most people misunderstand about you? Hmm.

238
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:10.400
I think people under estimate me greatly. It's interesting. I think you

239
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:18.200
know growing up because I have I
was a non traditional student in college and

240
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.480
you know, in in the time
that I was growing up, we didn't

241
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:30.160
have the advancements again of psychology where
you know, learning disabilities were present or

242
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:34.359
diagnosed. There's been such a huge
movement for that and a lot more support.

243
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.880
One of my dear friends actually Peter
Valentin. He's local and Lebanon,

244
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:51.440
Connecticut. He just authored a book
that is uh with regard to autism.

245
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:59.000
I was diagnosed with ADHD and as
an adult, and so sitting in a

246
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.319
classroom for me was extraordinarily difficult.
And so one of the things that a

247
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.480
lot of things that people, you
know, look at you sometimes when you

248
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.279
can't stay on task or whatnot with
the diagnoses of ADHD and you go off

249
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:17.839
on tangents or I hyper focus.
You know, people, I think they

250
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.559
misunderstand that for possibly dizziness or you
know, quote unquote you know, stereotyping

251
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:30.759
that. But if you sit and
listen, obviously, I mean I can

252
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:37.440
be articulate and I'm highly intelligent.
So I think that's where I'm underestimated quite

253
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.559
a bit, you know. So
I've I've been in the presence of people

254
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.319
that run multi billion dollar companies,
not million dollar companies, but billion dollar

255
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:52.759
companies, and you know, I
didn't realize with what I've done with the

256
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:57.720
company that I previously had took a
lot of strength for me to get through.

257
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.119
So yeah, so I think I'm
totally engrossly misunderstood when it comes to

258
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:14.039
intelligence, check and check. So
do you have any questions of me?

259
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:27.200
Yes, I'm curious as to Bill
what enjoyment? What do you enjoy out

260
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:33.359
of doing this podcast? And not
just particularly in mine, I'm saying what

261
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.359
you're doing with the podcast in general. All right, so here's a news

262
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:45.000
splash for you. I love people, Okay, no way. Yeah.

263
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:49.240
I don't sugarcoat the word or add
any other spice to it. I just

264
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:56.880
plain love people. And I love
people who are authentically expressing themselves and who

265
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:03.440
have this access, you know,
to a moment of lightness of being and

266
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.319
just in the moment, discover new
things about themselves, you know, in

267
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:15.559
conversation. And it's a joy to
me to ask one of these simple questions

268
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:22.880
and they are very simple, and
watch you and others thoughtfully gaze out into

269
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:30.200
somewhere in space and then come back
to gold. You know, I had

270
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:37.240
a feeling when I started this about
a year and a half ago that we're

271
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.200
going to find out that people are
not who they're told they are, but

272
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.799
they're actually something different than that,
and that I had a sneaking suspicion that

273
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.839
all of us at the core,
you know, we're not that far apart.

274
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.799
You know, there's just you know, the things that we've learned that

275
00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:00.920
get in the way of what we
know life is about. Right, So

276
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:07.480
what do I get out of it? I get a lot of presence,

277
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:15.440
a lot of little happy thoughts,
some caring and sharing. But authenticity is

278
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:22.519
a It's a really cool thing.
And I very much appreciate who you are,

279
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.440
who you've been in this podcast,
and who you are in my life.

280
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.079
You're a wonder and it's been amazing
to spend time with you. Well,

281
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.279
thank you, and I'm you know, I'm honored to be here.

282
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.599
Thank you for asking me and having
me here. And you know, I

283
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.720
learned something new about you today,
and I learn more about myself, and

284
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.440
you know, thank you for having
me. You're You're very welcome, and

285
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.599
I hear from people that's kind of
what happens when you hang around Bill.

286
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:55.160
So the last thing I want to
do and say before we sign off is

287
00:28:55.519 --> 00:29:00.920
I want to invite all of you, our listeners and YouTube gi call somebody,

288

text them, send an email,
send a card, a letter,

289
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:08.640
whatever, and just let that person
know that the world works because they're in

290
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:14.359
it, and that you love them
and you hope that they're having the best

291
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:21.920
day ever. And that's it.
