possibilities, but also the unknown. It's an elixir of fear and bravery that
only someone who's taken the leap really understands. On our show, deb digs
deep with her guests to highlight what you the listener wants to know, the
stories, the whys, and the hows to navigate the journey to success.

for it. Anyways, we're so excited today because Amanda Thompson. I have
had great honor of working alongside her and watching her in her glory and I
remember watching her doing a presentation and I'm like, that's somebody I want to
have coffee with after. You know, when you go and you see someone
you know on stage or you watch a video and you're like, man,
I'd love to have a beer in the pub with them, You know what
I mean? There's more to meet the eye, and I love that,
you know what I'm talking about. It's really it's just energy and it's bodacious
and it's contagious and it's a lot of fun. And now look at you
guys. You know, and I can say this, I can double down
today, and double down isn't double down like a sports term. I think
we might talk a little bit about sports today, but we're gonna double down.
You guys know how much I adore you, how much. We appreciate
you are sending in messages. I mean, I just love you guys.
You know, you're pretty transparent, which you know that makes sense, so
are we? You know, you're you're the things that you're doing, like
cooking dinner, doing yoga, skating. Who does someone's still roller skating?
I don't know. I don't know. Your body as is super cool.
It makes me laugh. So anyways, not only are you guys like the
best podcast hosts and the best podcast listeners, but hmm, let me think
you're the most innovative. You're the most innovative. And I think you know
what I mean. And if you don't, you will because that would be
a word that I would use to describe Amanda. So enough about me talking
Amanda. They hear me all the time. Let's you on to mission.
Accept it. Thank you for spending some time with us today. Oh my
gosh, deb it's my pleasure. And roller skating is a thing. It
is now taking over Instagram TikTok and I'm talking og roller skates. Nice.
Okay, you guys, you know, go in your closet or storeroom or
the bin in the garage. The bin in the garage that's right. It's
like it's like for me with records. Right. So it's like, you
know, the first time I took my son into a record store. We
were driving, so my girlfriend was driving. We were coming back from I
don't know something, and we were driving and he's like, oh my gosh,
there's Narwald and I'm like, who's Narwald? I mean, this must
have been about four years ago. Normal, it's so yeah, this was
what fifteen sixteen. And he's like he interviews all the rap artists and blah
blah blah blah. So my girlfriend knows me. She just like goes to
the side of the side of the street. She's like, go, my
son goes white narwhal walks into a record store and I'm like, this is
it. This is the time that you get to go meet him. And
he's like I'm like and my girlfriend literally kicked him out of the car.
She's like go right, So we go and I'm like, okay, we're
go go with that record store. And he's like why and I said,
well, first of all, you're going to go meet this guy and second
well buy an album. He's like, what do you mean. I go,
oh, you don't think Drake has albums, you don't think Tupac has
albums. You don't think Emine And he's like, no, I'm like,
let's take you on a journey today. So anyways, yeah, it all
comes back around. We lived in the best time. Hey, gosh,
yeah, because we weren't on video. Absolutely get a wait with me.
Because my general rule for my kids when they were growing was just always assumed
that everything you do is going to be on video. So just remember,
like if I don't see it, if Dad doesn't see it, one of
your friends or someone's going to get you on videos, to just always be
You're always on camera. Just be mindful of that. Yeah, yeah,
right, a whole different time. So hey, this shows a lot about
taking the mission and I've seen you do that and I am watching you do
that again. So thank you so much for coming on. What does a
woman who started, you know, being an entrepreneur at fourteen have to say
about yet starting a dream company? Share with us a little bit about that
journey? Gosh. You know, I think you realize, maybe sometimes earlier
in life or sometimes later in life, that you were meant to be an
entrepreneur. For me, I wanted to buy a car desperately. My parents
basically said, hey, whatever you raise for a car, we will match.
So I got to hustling at a pretty young age and I ended up
with a really cool gig. I was a full time nanny for a family.
I would prep their meals like they would come in from work and homework
was done, kids were bathed, and meals were prepped and ready to go.
I joke with my husband now that I was like I needed a me,
but it set into motion really being able to get my first car,
and for me, I think that always continued. I'm launching a new beauty
brand called Kick Peach Beauty, and it started back in those teenage years.
I would rip article pulls out of seventeen and teen magazine. You know,
this was when I was, of course like four, but you know I
would look at these DIY skincare components and I would be in my mom's kitchen
and mixing up things and putting him in our hair and testing things. And
so my love of skincare just started on that journey, and I think I've
walked into that journey maybe in a little bit different of a way. That
was my passion, but I grew up in corporate America, learning things about
sales, operations, marketing, and having been an entrepreneur on top of that
is really I think set me up to now launch my own brand, bring
it to market, and make it a successful brand. So I relate to
you on many different levels, and I know so do many of our listeners.
Where there was that, there's you could take it back in time and
see where the spark happened, maybe somewhere else, maybe in a different industry.
I always say that, you know, there's many ways that we get
in to becoming an entrepreneur. Some of us can go back and see,
oh, that's where it started, right, And then some of us,
I always say, got dragged into entrepreneurship by our best friend or our partner
or you know. People got you know, ragged or drugged you know,
into the world of entrepreneurship, and then they found their groove. Later on
they came into something and they were like, I like the zest of an
entrepreneurship, but I don't like this sector. And then they move around.
But I think it's really interesting when you go back and you can tag it
right like you can o there is you know the interesting word for it because
you can tag it, you can see where it kind of started for you.
So you're going on this journey you've had, You've had a journey,
and you're now doing something that you can go back and tag and say this
was really this gave me a lot of joy and passion. But there's many
aspects to a business. And we know we've heard many stories of you know,
the most incredible baker that opens a bakery and in six months or eight
months, or twelve months or twenty four months, and they get caught in
this cycle. I mean I was just talking about that, they get caught
in a cycle of they're really good at their craft. But there's other elements
that make the business successful. I know that you talk a lot about your
experience in corporate and understanding numbers and operations and strategy and marketing and what have
you and blending those together. Can you talk a little bit about that because
one of the things that happened for entrepreneurs and I see it as someone who
does a lot of internal training in one on one coaching. You here all
the time. I know I need something, but I can't afford it because
they're not being successful in their business. So where can you give some advice
in that arena? I think it's a really great question. And I think
for me, even in my own entrepreneurial journey, I've struggled with I would
almost call it imposter syndrome, is what I'm creating going to be good enough?
So I think by the time you get to this stage of either creating,
curating, making, opening, whatever it is, you've given a lot
of thought to your product. But I think then the back end side is
what's the path that I need to take to get me where I want to
go. I think about my dentist. I love, she's an incredible dentist,
but one of the things that she was not trained in dental school to
do was run her P and L, run marketing, navigate her business.
She was trained to do really great cosmetic dentistry. And so for her,
you know, just in our conversations, like a chicken in an egg.
And I think that happens a lot for entrepreneurs. So I think there's a
couple of things that I would say are really powerful. There are now a
lot of fractional services that you didn't even have pre pandemic. I think a
lot of people said Hey, I'm a fractional bookkeeper. If you're not great
with you know, quick books, Quicken, Hi, that's me. But
having a bookkeeper yet doesn't make sense because I don't have enough transactions. There
are a lot of fractional people who can step in and do that for you
on a very part time, spare time basis. You can find very reputable
people to help you do your design, to do your SEO, fiver upwork.
All of these aspects have given rise to this small entrepreneur doing really powerful
and great things. So you're not ready to hire, but you know you
can't do it at all, do it all and none of us can do
it all or you know. I always joke that like being the CEO means
you're often the chief everything officer, especially when you're starting, so you do
have to say, what are the things that I love, what are the
things that are getting in the way of what I love? And how much
is that really costing me? Because for example, I hate to do my
books. I'm that girl who takes all my receipts, throws them in a
box, gives them to my accountant at the end of the year, and
he literally gives me icy eyes every year, and I tell him every year,
I promise, next year, I'm going to be better, and then
I'm not. So I really have learned it's because it's not my wheelhouse.
So I put it off. I put it off, I put it off.
And so when I launched this business, I took those things that crippled
me and I said, that is not worth it because that shoe box that
I put off, I still have to go through and now I have to
do it on a deadline. So finding good fractional work is great. I
think also you can lean into people in your network who are looking to get
some additional experience and maybe you can give them part, you know, a
small amount of ownership, or maybe you can give them free product. There's
a lot of creative things you can do in partnering with people and give what
you get and they want to help you with that, and so I think
that that's a really important piece. It's just finding small tools along the way,
and I think that's great. You know. I'm also one of the
areas that I think people forget a little bit about is the negotiation part.
So if you are looking for someone, I just had a conversation with a
very considerable speaker. And I was one, okay, so what's your gauge
on speaking and what do you charge for this and that? And she's like,
well, it's gone in anywhere from twenty five hundred to twenty five thousand.
I'm like, that's pretty vast, you know, that's pretty fast her
and she says, well, you know sometimes when companies are just starting,
it's twenty five hundred and two years of products. So there's my Christmas presents.
I mean, and this is a keynote speaker that you would never think
those words would come out of the mouth. This is just a private conversation,
and most people are willing to negotiate if you if they actually believe in
you, just the power of you and what you know, even just being
able to say, what is the best price that you can offer me right
now in my business? And you know what, feel free to take me
back up to your regular fee. As we progress and I get more successful,
you're going to know when that's happened. I'm going to know when that's
happened. And I think that there can be some flexibility around that because a
lot of people like I can't, I can't, I can't with the assumption
and then it disempowers them a little bit. So not that you're going to
go out there and ask people to do everything for you for free. There
needs to be a value to value exchange. But what can that look like?
Even from a temporary standpoint. But here's something you can't lose what you
do best. Right if if you're a b and your job is to bake,
you can't spend more time doing books than you are baking because at the
end of the day, you're never going to get more revenue if you don't
do what you do best. You have to be able to delegate very quickly,
Sarah, to interrupt you. No, no, no, no no.
It just brings me to something that I absolutely love that you've really honed
in on, and I think was something that you really dove into. Was
there's you know, there's a lot of people that do a lot of things.
I mean, you know they would say God, bless you, you
know, God bless you, you know, bless her. You are going
into a very highly competitive market space. People know and see skincare and sometimes
walk into a store or pull it up online and it can you can really
get a glaze. There's a lot of words that people use in skincare that
are highly used and highlighted and the best, the best, the best,
the best, and there's all sorts of things that make it difficult as a
consumer and who do you trust and who you don't and or people that are
really attached to a line that's worked for them and they're scared to go try
something new or what have it. As So you've really I think that you've
done something that I think is quite wonderful in the sense of from a strategic
standpoint. Many people think I'm an incredible baker and I'm going to be successful.
I'm like they think that the different differentiator is them, and it can
be, it can be, but it's probably it's not them. It's those
cinnamon buns that someone talks about and puts on the Instagram, and like that
cinnamon bun makes you know. So, what is it that you're doing differently?
And I'd never ever heard Amanda of eight. Well, I'm going to
let you announce it because it's pretty incredible. Like the thing that's different about
this skincare that, as someone who who's used skincare products, made me lean
in as soon as you said it. I was like, that's cool,
and I and I'm a big proponent of that's cool. So, you know,
without sounding generic, what's so unique? What is the niche within this
vast sector that you're stepping into. Yeah, and beauty is super noisy.
I've been in the space for fifteen years. I've worked with some incredibly amazing
brands. I've worked with fabulous ingredients, and you know, I kept having
people push me. Then they say, Imana, you know so much about
ingredients, you know so much about skincare. And I've really built trust with
my audience over the past gosh, you know, multi decades if you will,
on being somebody who is a trusted advisor with skincare. And so for
me, I really believe that if you're an entrepreneur, you can have a
really great idea, but you do need to use data to help you make
that decision. So I really started looking into this thought process of Okay,
well, if I created something, I didn't want to create another lotion,
another potion, another serum, another cleanser. I didn't want to get,
you know, pigeonholed into an ingredient. I really wanted to do something completely
different in this space and so I started doing a lot of research. I
think that most people when we're looking for beauty today, we're looking for simple,
we're looking for are easy to incorporate into our routine, and we're looking
for sustainability. More than ever, consumers are thinking about their beauty footprint and
they're thinking about really, you know, the package sizing and what we're doing.
And so as I started gathering data, I started really this one question
that everybody has always asked me, which is why is my skincare really just
not doing anything? I feel like I try everything on the market, all
of these things, and so this one question kind of led me down these
rabbit holes then to back it with data. So if you look in open
space, all of us as entrepreneurs are trying to do something innovative in our
space, and as you kind of peel the layer back, it will come
to you very quickly. As you start to see, you know, Reddit
threads, you start to look at Quora, you start to look at all
these things, what are people saying? And what I kept seeing in these
threads was exactly what my friends were saying, why is my skincre not doing
anything? And then I started seeing why am i paying for these giant care
containers that feel like water. So I did a lot of research and the
data would suggest that water. Most of our skincare formulations are sixty five to
ninety percent water. So when you start thinking about what am I paying for?
Is it really working or is it just water down? And am I
paying to ship water all across the world? That seems like an incredibly environmentally
unfriendly practice. What options exist? So I actually created a powder based formula.
You empty packet into your hand, you add a little bit of warm
water to it, you mix it, and it turns into a gel that
you put on your face at night, and it does all the things.
So it's one simple product. It's super lightweight, it's really made to reduce
your carbon footprint. And while we call it waterless beauty, it's really water
less. So how can you use less water in your beauty routine? How
can you still get the results? It is a pure active formula, so
there's no fragrance, there's no preservative, there's none of this stuff that when
you read a beauty product label, if you you know, really regret not
paying attention in high school chemistry, you wonder what half the ingredients are,
let alone what they do on your skin. So I wanted something super simple.
I wanted to create that, and so that's what I did. I
just went to work. Wow. So I don't think I've ever heard of,
like you said, water less. I mean, it's interesting because we've
started to see it happen in nutraceuticals right sure, but never And as someone
who travels, maybe maybe not as much as someone like yourself that knows every
code to every airport in mankind. If you ever want to know where you're
if you're going to Vancouver, a man is going to go, oh,
you're going to YVR. So whatever our secret formulas is knowing all the codes
to all the coorts? What okay? So when you're you know, for
me, whenever I'm looking at things like that as someone who's traveling, that's
perfect. Those I've gone to like, Okay, how can I make the
least amount in my suitcase and all that all that good stuff. But so
tell me what is So you know, you come home with this idea,
your husband goes what, like, what was it like? After being in
the industry for so long, you have had a long corporate and entrepreneur career.
What was it like for you to go through the process of reinvention.
Because here's the thing, many entrepreneurs ten, fifteen, twenty years in almost
can have that same crippling feeling when they're converting their entrepreneur business into something else
as it was when you left corporate originally or when you decided to dive in.
It's a different it's a different conversation with yourself when you go to reinvent.
It is and it's scary. I mean, honestly, if you're being
just incredibly transparent, you know it's you have this idea. So this idea
really came to me through a conversation with my husband and really doing all of
this research, and I really looked into the market and there was nothing like
I literally thought to myself, Okay, how has no one done this or
done it in the way that I want to do this. There are some
powder formulas on the market. They're very single note they're in big, messy
containers that kind of powder everywhere. You don't get prescriptive dosing. So very
quickly I was like, oh, this is why people haven't done it,
because it does it's a small amount and it needs to be in a small
little stick pack to keep its freshness, if you will. And so I
think you know for me as I looked at this entrepreneurial journey, this step
of am I good enough? Am I confident enough? Oh I'm not a
dermatologist. Oh I'm not a chemist. And I my husband always has the
really salient moments in my life. And I can go back and think of
like five what I call them forks in the road because my husband has asked
me a just ultra truthful question in my life and his answer to me was,
well, yeah, there's plenty of products that have been formulated by chemists
and dermatologists, but if those were all that great, we still wouldn't be
looking for what you're creating. And it was so empowering for me to just
have that person in my corner who believed in me when I didn't believe in
myself. And I think that you have to have someone, whether it's a
family member or whether it's your best friend, maybe it's your dog or your
cat. I don't know who that person is, but you have to have
that person who advocates for you and pushes you to think through that because otherwise
I can't tell you how many entrepreneurs I've talked to and DEBI you probably have
talked to them too, where they have a great idea but they don't actually
act on it, they don't do anything with it, and then ten years
later someone in vents or creates what they were thinking about and they're like,
I had that idea. You know you saw that thing on Shark Tank.
I actually created it, but I was too scared of what people would say.
And so this for me, I am getting ready to celebrate my forty
seventh birthday. It is a very you know, strange time in my life
to say like, Okay, I'm going to go all in, go big,
or go home. But my whole life. I lost my dad when
I was twenty four years old, and he said to me before he got
promoted to heaven, he said two things. Flash your teeth and don't ever
regret anything like go big, go home, because when it's your time,
you're never going to look back and want to regret that. So I just
think you need that advocate. But you do. You have to go all
in on yourself, and you have to just keep putting one step in front
of the other. I think you said something really so first of all,
thank you for that and wise words from your dad, be right, flash
your teeth. You know, my message to my daughter on subtain birth is
like you earn the right to vote, vote, and on a really bad
day, you're entitled to come home, put on a Janni's job on album
and have a glass of wine. So you know your dad's in messines a
little more holier. But the interesting thing that you said is having someone in
your corner believing in yourself. I think that for a lot of people as
well, they don't see how it's going to come into fruition. And in
those moments I always bring up the word providence where and I have watched you
do this where when you truly finally make that decision, all unforeseen and unforeteen
told things come into action, like you end up having a conversation or someone
like you know how we ended up reconnecting and having conversations zones like you guys
need to talk and here we are. And I think that all of those
things you can't foresee everything, You just can't foresee everything. And I think
the best gifts of entrepreneurship are oftentimes the things you can't see. They are
the things that are great, it's that time when you reach out to a
journalist and they say, yes, I want to feature you in an article.
And it's that time when you realize, oh, crap, I didn't
register for sales tax in a certain state. Now I owe X number of
dollars and you're like, okay. But you learn from that. And I
think if you have this mindset that it's not going to get easier, you're
just going to get better, and you're going to start to be more flexible,
you real leave a little pressure that you need to know it all,
and you do learn how to ask questions. I would also encourage people to
ask their network because things that you might think are hard for you are actually
really easy for other people. So you never know who's like, oh,
yeah, don't shortcut that shortcut, or hey, does anybody have advice on
this? You'd be amazed at what your network can share with you to help.
But I think you have to be open to that experience and realize that
you are going to also have small moments of failure and big moments of failure
along the way. But the only time it ever really truly fails is when
you say enough and it is hard, and there are days. I'm sure
Dev you've had days who were like why am I doing this? Like this
is crazy? Why am I doing this? I have had those moments,
and then the next minute is just like a happy birthday moment because somebody will
say like, oh, hey, I literally had somebody buy a hundred,
like thirty nights supplies of this product in our pre launch and I was like,
well, I didn't see that coming. I didn't even have packaging ready.
So it was super exciting, and it was on the heels of one
of those moments of like, is anybody gonna actually like this? Yeah?
Yeah, I mean I love how friends parent are. Our sector of entrepreneurship
has become. Right, I've been an entrepreneur for thirty years. You've been
playing this game for a while as well. You know, I would call
this Maivens and Crones at this point, so right, seriously, and I
love the transparency. I think it is going to bring entrepreneurs together, and
I think it's going to take that. I have to be because you can
literally have that moment and get a million dollar check in the mail that day,
and once you play this game, you know that's how it works.
You just know. That's how it works. It all, it all pays
off in the end. But let's let's do a little diversion here. I
want to come back to talk about your company. And I know that we're
running out of time. I mean you could and we will. You know,
we should do a three part series or something. I think that would
be fantastic to do a three part series. But digging into a little bit
of Amanda, so you know some of those things that people don't know about
each other, what is it about sports? What is it you in sports?
And you've got to let how many letters do you have? Like you
have more letters than the alphabet? Like do tell this is one of my
you know when people ask you, they're like, okay, tell us three
truths and a lie. I always use that in that game because I am
I love beauty, I love cooking, I love reading, and really the
only thing I love about sports is being at an event to have a glass
of wine and talking to my friends. Like, I don't really care about
sports at all. So the fact that I actually lettered in high school in
every single sport my high school offered, including football, men's wrestling, men's
basketball, women's basketball, volleyball was pretty hilarious. Back when I met my
husband and he you know how you pull out like your relics. He held
up my letter jacket and he's like, why do you have a wrestling and
a football pin. I was like, oh, actually, there's an answer
to that, and it's because I was a cheerleader, And because I was
a cheerleader for all those sports, I put in enough hours on a varsity
team event to get a letter in every single one of those sports. And
I my husband literally fell down laughing because again, I'm such a girly girl.
He's like, that might be the most hilarious thing about you ever,
because I'm just about as unsportsmanly, you know, in terms of the athletic
prowess as you possibly could get. And so he died. So I'm really
not that athletic, but I do have a letter in every single one of
my sports in my high school. Well, I think that just goes to
show that there's many ways, you know what they say, there's many roads
to rome, and there's always a really good story behind a good story.
Oh my gosh. Okay, so before we kind of get you to dive
a little bit in and tell us more about how we can find out about
what you're doing, because I'm sure you've intrigued the minds of many. I'm
not going to say tell us something that you don't know. But here's something
that I believe, and I don't know if you do too. I believe
that words are really powerful, and I think that when you have, we
all have, you know, I don't know if you But again, I
was talking about how my office looks like Tony Robbins gar Scale, and I
have my treasure maps and I've been treasure mapping forever. Right my daughter's thirty.
We did it like when she was one. You know, okay,
what are you want? A little toy on your treasure map? Like we
had little treasure maps and they grew and grew, and so we used to
do it on New Year's Eve. And so I have these treasure maps and
there's things that I know that I want to a calm. And it's interesting
because sometimes people say, okay, you know with your top three things,
and you kind of draw a blank a little bit. You're like, uh
uh, you know, there's so many, but what you know? Do
we really know? And is it written down somewhere, and I'll always remember
the story of when I when I had an experience to hang out with Jack
Campfield a little bit and he was telling me how he had on his office
wall, you know, the his bucket list, like he was completely transparent
with his bucket list and that other people got to see it, and many
people we don't do that. Many times we don't do that. And he
just happened to have. You know, he wanted to fly in this very
unique, very few ever made firefighting jet. Okay, so one guy walked
into his office one time and said, oh, you want to you want
to fly that? And he's like, yeah, that's on my bucket list
I want to do. He's like, I'm one of the I don't know
two pilots in the world that knows how to fly that jet. He's like,
let's do it. So I'm going to ask you, isn't that cool?
I'm going to ask you for the world to know, show what's something
on your bucket list, either personal or business, something that you like absolutely
want to experience. Let's throw it out there and see where it sticks.
I want to be on QVC with my brand, okay that you know,
so I have long loved QVC. I grew up where we had Home Shopping
Network or QBC on in the background. And if you've ever watched that show,
I want to credit my success in sales to watching that show because you
learn the emotional psychology behind it. And I love it. I love how
they brought and totally innovated shopping and they're about ready to do it again,
you know, in this space of our life, this live selling is so
fine. So on top of my love for beauty, I have long wanted
to be a host on QVC and so now finally I can put them all
together. So I'm putting it out there that you will see my beauty brand
on QVC. I will get to have my dream come true. I won't
be a host, i'd I don't think, but I'll meet a host and
I'll be able to have a segment on QBC. All right. So there
it is. Now that's all going out to the that's going out to the
universe. All right. So all after this from a buyer at QVC,
I just know it absolutely, and you're gonna call in, take me out.
You're gonna we're gonna we're gonna go and do something off my bucket list.

Ireland. That's what we're gonna go do. And I know how to make

Amanda. This is the first time that Mission Accepted is playing to have you
know, the last. I'm looking forward to watching the progression of your company.
And I think that just even if someone was like, you know,
I don't use skincare for whatever reason, I think you need to follow Amanda,
because if you listened to the majority of this show, it's about the
lessons behind the entrepreneur. Like I think we do watch and learn from people,
and you know you're doing it right, So congratulations on that. And
I have one final question for you. Now you're on your way to a
desert island. It's you and you, you and you. You have one
suitcase, right, and she's going to know the code of the airport to
go, but one suit You have one suitcase, and in that suitcase you
have room for one album and one music album only. What is the album
that you are going to take that you could not imagine not listening to for
the rest of your days. Gosh, I I'm not going to give you
a commercial answer. I'm going to give you an album that my dad made
for me when I turned twenty one. My dad loved music. He had
ten thousand albums and LPs, and the way that we communicated is that he
would take those albums and he would burn them onto a CD and custom make
this the CDs for me. And on my twenty first birthday, he gave
me one that I could listen to on replay. It is like his heart
and they're his favorites. Likely makes me tiary kind of thinking about it,
but you know, I think I would take that with me. And it
was called Swim. The name of that was Swim, and he did all
this beautiful custom artwork on the front of it, and it has everything from
Fleetwood Mac to roxy music to classical jazz music, but they all had a
special song behind them. So I would take Swim with me. All right,
Well, that makes sense because you are going to a tropical island and
I'm sure you're going to be I'm sure that you're going to have to go
swim and get yourself some dinner or something that's fantastic. So thank you so
