00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, does have redeeming qualities. Jerry Shemel first of

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>all superhuman being. And now he has taken on a

3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>new task, and that is to support an organization that

4
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>does its best to support people who have developmental disabilities

5
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>live life to the absolute fullest and achieve their highest dreams.

6
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>And now Jerry Shemmel joining me to talk about it. Hi, Jerry,

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>how you doing? Mandy?

8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm great, how are you doing? Really good to talk

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 2>to you.

10
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>It's very good to talk to you as well. My friend.

11
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jerry, I did not know that you had

12
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>a grandson who has Down syndrome.

13
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, it was a shock to us. He's two

14
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 2>years old. We didn't know that that was going to

15
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>be that way. We weren't given any indication that he

16
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 2>had anything wrong with him. Looked like a perfect healthy

17
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 2>baby when he came out down syndrome. And Mandy, when

18
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>when I first heard that news, I was shocked, I

19
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 2>was depressed. I was down. And then I started doing

20
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>research on Down Center kids and everybody's like, congratulations, it's

21
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 2>the greatest thing you it's ever going to happen to you.

22
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>It's the greatest blessing you're ever going to have, and

23
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 2>it's turned out that way for the last two years,

24
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Little Henry couldn't be more of a joy to me

25
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 2>in my life.

26
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>So Jerry, years and years ago, like when you and

27
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I were young, back in the olden times, when you

28
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 1>had a child that had Down syndrome or so some

29
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 1>other developmental delay, they were sort of kind of, for

30
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>lack of the better way to put it, warehoused a

31
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 1>little bit, right. They were just kind of put on

32
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a shelf. You were told they were never going to

33
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>accomplish anything, and they, you know, they just had to

34
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of live like a lump of coal, I guess.

35
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>But now we see the exact opposite, and I'm guessing

36
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that Best Day Ministries has tapped into the notion that

37
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>people with Down syndrome can do a.

38
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Lot, absolutely absolutely, and they're just bundles of joy as well.

39
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>And no, Henryson only too, Mandy. But I know through

40
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>this ministry lots of adults with Down syndrome, and you

41
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>know what, I want to live my life the way

42
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 2>they've lived their life. They don't complain, they don't criticize,

43
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>they don't judge, they measure life. But how many hugs

44
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>they can get people and how much joy they can

45
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>bring people. That's the way I want to live my life.

46
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>So not only are we seeing a change in how

47
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 2>people look at and treat people downstair them for any

48
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of disability, but I think we're seeing the blessing

49
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>that comes along with that as well, And that's what

50
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>this ministry is all about. Best Day Ministries is threefold.

51
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 2>They have an online business center where adults with disabilities

52
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 2>can make their projects and sell them have to help

53
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>to make and sell their projects online. They got this

54
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>coffee shop, and they've got a church that they do

55
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>once a month so and all led by disabled our

56
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 2>adults with disability. So it's a credible, beautiful ministry. I'm

57
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 2>learning from it and I couldn't be more excited about

58
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 2>being involved in it.

59
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>When I was very young, my mother was the activities

60
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 1>director for what was at the time called the Columbia

61
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Association for Retarded Citizens and it was the first time

62
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>in my life. I'm like ten, eleven, twelve years old,

63
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>it was the first time I was around people and

64
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>these were all adults that had developmental disabilities. It was

65
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>probably the greatest thing that could have happened to our

66
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>family in in terms of learning about folks who are

67
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to make a living and trying to be productive

68
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>members of society. And you know what, maybe somebody with

69
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Down syndrome isn't going to cure cancer, right, but they

70
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>can work in a coffee shop. And this is a

71
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 1>group of people that are historically under employed at drastic levels.

72
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 1>But does best day ministries provide opportunities to learn some

73
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>of those life skills you just mentioned a coffee shop.

74
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about that.

75
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, coffee shop's a great example that, Mandy. They employ

76
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>sixteen adults with disabilities, sixteen different people. It's not a

77
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>great business model when you want to make money. They

78
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get the extra costs, have coaches that are on

79
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>site as well that help these people, and so you

80
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>got to pay them as well. So it's not the

81
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>best foundation for making money at a coffee shop, but

82
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>it's what this ministry wants to do. They employ sixteen

83
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 2>special needs adults anywhere from down center to autism to

84
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 2>dramatic brain injuries, straight physical disabilities. There are people wheelchairs

85
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>that are working there. And for many of them, Mandy,

86
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 2>like you're getting that, it's their first job. It's the

87
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>first time they're gainfully employed. And not only are they

88
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>making money, that's secondary. What it does for their life,

89
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>the value, what they can bring to society, how it

90
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 2>makes them feel, how it makes their family and their

91
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>parents feel, is invaluable. And I'm seeing this and people

92
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>are just giddy about working at this coffee shop. And

93
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>they're sixteen of these people that wouldn't be employed otherwise,

94
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>And think big majority of them are working for the

95
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>first time their lives as adults.

96
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing. It's like what they're you know,

97
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 1>they're just like us, Jerry. We want to feel like

98
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 1>we have p right. We want to have a reason

99
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>to get up in the morning. And people with Down

100
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>syndrome or other developmental disabilities like autism, they have that

101
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>same drive, but they don't usually get the same opportunities.

102
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>So how can people I'm assuming Best Day is going

103
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of Colorado Gives Day.

104
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it is that, And they have a website that's

105
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 2>got a new platform to it, and I'm helping them

106
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>raise money and get exposure, which I'm doing today. Manny,

107
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>thank you for having beyond that. It's best Daysministry dot org.

108
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Best Day's Ministries dot org. So it's like I said,

109
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.199
<v Speaker 2>it's threefold and they're vastly underfunded and I'm trying to

110
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>help them get to where they're financially solving a little bit.

111
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>So anybody has an idea notion to help out. And

112
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>incredibly beautiful ministry that services adults with disabilities, Best Dayministries

113
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>dot Org is the place to go. It really is

114
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful thing and I will put it.

115
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>On my I do a blog every Colorado gives Day

116
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 1>with organizations that I think are doing a really good job.

117
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>But I want to ask you something about if someone

118
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>owns a business, are there opportunities to maybe bring some

119
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>of these people into your business? And I say this

120
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 1>because I have now over three different markets, had the

121
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to see how when you let people know, Look,

122
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>if you want somebody who's going to show up and

123
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>be the brightest star on your you know, on your

124
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>crew every single day, if you're willing to work with

125
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>them and work within what their capabilities are, you will

126
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>have a crew member that will never leave you, that

127
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>will never you know, give you a hard time, that

128
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't show up late, that doesn't call in sick. And

129
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>it's remarkable to see how once you get into the community,

130
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>what people begin to see the possibilities are. And I

131
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 1>think that's part of the mission here, isn't it just

132
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>show people their possibilities.

133
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly, Mandy, that that's a big part of this ministry.

134
00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 2>And you're right, And there are other businesses out there,

135
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>and this one has kind of modeled their program after

136
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 2>some of the others. There's an ice cream shop I

137
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>know in Aurora where I used to take my grandson

138
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 2>before they move that employee special needs adults. And other

139
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.480
<v Speaker 2>coffee shops do it, and other businesses do it, and

140
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 2>once a while you'll see those sorts of people at

141
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>chickpil A. There's a lot of different opportunities for these individuals.

142
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>What we have in this coffee shop is sixteen of

143
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>those working in the same spot and it just becomes beautiful.

144
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 2>And if you ever get to this coffee shop, and

145
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 2>I just people love going there, Mandy, because you see

146
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 2>what is happening behind the counter and you just you're

147
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>amazed by it, especially these people running a coffee shop,

148
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>and it makes your heart stir a little bit and

149
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>it makes you smile. And there's not a single person

150
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>I've known that has not gone in that place and

151
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>come out different, come out affected by it, watching what

152
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>is happening in that special place. So yeah, what you're

153
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 2>getting at is that there are other opportunities, or there

154
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>should be, for other businesses to people in this capacity.

155
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's probably growing that way, and I

156
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>think Best Day Ministries has probably opened the door for

157
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>other businesses to look at that and be that model

158
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>for them.

159
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Where is the coffee shop? It's the best Day ever

160
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a coffee and crape shop. Where is that?

161
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 2>It is in downtown Longmont, Colorado, Okay on Kaufman Street.

162
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, really easy to get to.

163
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you've been to Longmont before. Beautiful downtown.

164
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a great little place I have And.

165
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the coffee prices. They're very affordable. I mean,

166
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty affordable thing. Kerry. I know that you

167
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>are a man with a big heart, and I love

168
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're working with Best Day Ministries to bring that

169
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the sort of the message to us here in the

170
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 1>larger metro area. Do you know if they have any

171
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 1>plans or the ability to scale to other areas.

172
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, there are plans. There is a lot of

173
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>talk that way. I think it's probably going to be

174
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.879
<v Speaker 2>a slower process because and you could certainly look at

175
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>a franchise Moble or fast food does, but it's not

176
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>a business model. It's hard to make money. Would employ

177
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>sixteen special needs adults in a coffee shop, and I'll

178
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, they're not your typical coffee shop

179
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>employee at Starbucks that knows how to make You've got

180
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 2>to train them, and they're at slower and they're less efficient.

181
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 2>But that's the whole idea is to give them opportunities.

182
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 2>So yes, there is talk about that. In fact that

183
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 2>Joe Truett, one of the owners that he and his

184
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>wife started this whole ministry, was telling me the other

185
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>day that there's a development and Boulder that wants to

186
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>put that coffee shop, another best day ever coffee shop

187
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 2>in one of their developments in their shopping center. So yes,

188
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of talk that way, and I think

189
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 2>it will happen. I don't know how quickly. These things

190
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>probably go slower than what you ever expect, but yeah,

191
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 2>there are plans and certainly a lot of talk to

192
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>expand it and make it not only more coffee shops,

193
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 2>but other businesses. Doing the same thing.

194
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>So apparently they're working on you. Which is going to

195
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 1>be a shop where you can buy stuffs that already

196
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 1>up and running.

197
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 2>It is it's in the coffee shop.

198
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow.

199
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have yeah them online presence as well. But

200
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 2>they're goods that special needs adults makes kids do for

201
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 2>that matter, are in the store. You can see samples

202
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 2>of them, you can buy them there, but their big

203
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.799
<v Speaker 2>presence is online. And not just in this area, Manny,

204
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>but all across the world. They got special needs people

205
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>making all kinds of things, not only the United States

206
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 2>but overseas. So another beautiful ministry, just another opportunity for

207
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 2>adults with special needs to be out there, to feel valuable,

208
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 2>to make a product and sell a product and make

209
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>some money in the product and feel great about it.

210
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>And you should, Manny. I hope you get to the

211
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 2>coffee shop someday because if you see some of the

212
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 2>things these people make, you'll be blown away. I was

213
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.919
<v Speaker 2>in there buying Christmas gifts the other day and stock

214
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the back of my car with them.

215
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's fantastic. The next time I'm in long Lunch,

216
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I go to Long Munt for two things. I go

217
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 1>for Georgia Boys Bar and the Cheese Importers. And now

218
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to add Best Day Ministries Coffee Shop to

219
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that list. I'll just do a circuit when I get

220
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.480

<v Speaker 2>right between those two businesses.

223
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.200
