Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the founder of National
Speaker 1: bucket List Day. It's Cindy Lee.
Speaker 2: Morning, Cindy, Helloha, how are you.
Speaker 1: We're great. So I think we all know what a
Speaker 1: bucket list is. But how did national I mean, like,
Speaker 1: what took it to the level where we said we
Speaker 1: need to make a National bucket List Day?
Speaker 2: Well, actually it started at age sixteen. It was Princess
Speaker 2: Diana's wedding and I sent her a card and that's
Speaker 2: where my whole love for gratitude began because this national holiday,
Speaker 2: it all resonates from gratitude. And I started doing a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff that she was doing, giving back, doing
Speaker 2: orphanage work, stuff like that. In twenty twenty, I became
Speaker 2: an ambassador with National Day Calendar where I share a
Speaker 2: national holidays, and just about three years ago I became
Speaker 2: the founder of National bucket List Day. And it's important
Speaker 2: to live your death. So we have the day we're
Speaker 2: born and the day we pass away. Yet to live
Speaker 2: that in between times.
Speaker 1: I love that you have to. It's the dash in between.
Speaker 1: I've seen that like on people's headstones before, and it's
Speaker 1: so true. The day you're born is one thing. The
Speaker 1: day you leave is another, but it's what you do
Speaker 1: in between. And so for National bucket List Day, like,
Speaker 1: what are you encouraging people to do? Does it have
Speaker 1: to be huge pie big things like going to space.
Speaker 2: No, and it's not just travel. So here's some examples.
Speaker 2: So you want to give back to your community, learn
Speaker 2: to skill, like, for instance, if you want to start
Speaker 2: a new business or start a podcast, be a guest
Speaker 2: on a radio show, start creating lists with your friends.
Speaker 2: That's actually going to help you keep accountable. And of
Speaker 2: course follow National Dey calendar. There's over sixteen hundred national
Speaker 2: days throughout the year, and today it's also National Pigs
Speaker 2: in a Blanket Day. Also promote a local restaurant. We
Speaker 2: have a lot of local restaurants. I'm based here in
Speaker 2: Huntington Beach. I want to do a shout out to
Speaker 2: Masala Waves, which is the Paul restaurant. There's also a
Speaker 2: karaoke place called Yama's. Okay, and then if you like pastrami,
Speaker 2: then we got a whole bunch of stuff in La
Speaker 2: as well. So so many different things to do for today.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Cindy, let's talk more about bucket lists though,
Speaker 1: because you know, like you said, it could be something
Speaker 1: like a small goal, but how do you encourage people
Speaker 1: then to get to some of the bigger ones, Because
Speaker 1: like I'm going, I get to go to Paris. I've
Speaker 1: never been to Paris. I don't know that it was
Speaker 1: a bucket list thing, but it definitely is like to
Speaker 1: travel internationally. Again, I want to do that more as
Speaker 1: before I, you know, before I leave the planet, because
Speaker 1: it's an amazing planet. So how do you start like
Speaker 1: thinking of those things that you want to do and
Speaker 1: then making them turning in into reality.
Speaker 2: It all starts with having that accountability and just finding
Speaker 2: people who have the same likes and interest in just
Speaker 2: keeping each other accountable and hey, we should mark off
Speaker 2: the Northern Lights, or we should go to Paris, and
Speaker 2: it's just a great way to get everybody together and
Speaker 2: create life experiences together.
Speaker 1: What are some of the wackiest ones you've you've heard? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wow, well, I want to say that the most scariest
Speaker 2: fear bucket list would be jumping down of airplane or skydiving.
Speaker 2: And once you do those two fear bucket lists, you
Speaker 2: pretty much can do anything for three weeks after doing that,
Speaker 2: especially people who are afraid of heights. It's just super
Speaker 2: crucial to overcome that fear. It's going to help you
Speaker 2: overcome a lot of different things in your personal life
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so there's a fear bucket list. I think
Speaker 1: I'm going to stick to the fun bucket list. National
Speaker 1: Bucket Day found bucket List Day founder Cindy Lee. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much for your time. Go and live your dreams.
Speaker 1: It's a good thing to do, right, Thank you. All right,
Speaker 1: take care
