Speaker 2: Simple questions for one hundred people. Welcome to the experiment.
Speaker 2: I'm Bill Correll, and this is my investigation. I'm researching
Speaker 2: to gather data from one hundred beautiful human beings for
Speaker 2: the sole purpose to see what actually happens across the interviews. Now,
Speaker 2: the questions are fixed and the interviews will remain consistent
Speaker 2: between with a variable being the actual participants themselves and
Speaker 2: their answers. So it's as if taren, I'm having you
Speaker 2: come sit on my porch to share your thoughts so
Speaker 2: I can learn about people. I'm looking forward to what
Speaker 2: we're going to know or learn after we complete all
Speaker 2: of these interviews. But no matter what it is, I'm
Speaker 2: having a ball doing it. So now it's time for
Speaker 2: us to meet you. What is your full name?
Speaker 3: My name is Taren Shane Evicta.
Speaker 2: Tell me that middle name again.
Speaker 3: Shana Shana. So Shana was just a name that my
Speaker 3: mother heard and absolutely loved, and so she included Taren
Speaker 3: Shana Victor. So people call me Taren Shana, but middle
Speaker 3: name Taren Victor. But my middle name is Shana.
Speaker 2: So interesting. I wanted to ask you this, but I
Speaker 2: guess it's as good a time as any. You know.
Speaker 2: Props on Shana. I love that name too. We used
Speaker 2: to babysit a little girl named Shana about forty years ago.
Speaker 2: She's now the head of a she's the head of
Speaker 2: a cosmetic company, so she's that name has done really well.
Speaker 3: For her, beautiful nice I love that.
Speaker 2: So are you named for a Klingon character? Or is
Speaker 2: did they steal the name Taran from somewhere else?
Speaker 3: They just love the name. I wish my mom was
Speaker 3: here so we could have that discussion. But originally I
Speaker 3: remember that there is they they watched the shore and
Speaker 3: they wanted Shana. But then then they decided on they
Speaker 3: heard Taran and they decided Arran sounded. I think in
Speaker 3: a way children name themselves when when you when they
Speaker 3: when they come into this world, and so it just
Speaker 3: it was just right. Tarn Shane a victim and it
Speaker 3: just fits it well. And and that's what they chose,
Speaker 3: My parents chose for me.
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful name. Absolutely. So what's your favorite nickname
Speaker 2: that most people don't know?
Speaker 3: Most people don't know that. My closest friends call me
Speaker 3: tests t a double z tes.
Speaker 2: Yes, like a Tazanian devil.
Speaker 3: There we go, and I do I do have my moments.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can see that in you. You look at
Speaker 2: me like you've got wide, wide bandwidth in terms of
Speaker 2: what you can bring, and it depends on what the
Speaker 2: calls for.
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely absolutely Excuse me.
Speaker 2: Have you been to Tasmania?
Speaker 3: No? I haven't.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I want to go one of these days
Speaker 2: because I understand that it's quite beautiful and that there
Speaker 2: are you know, a lot of different kinds of animals
Speaker 2: and flora and fanna you know. So that's just me.
Speaker 2: Tell me a little bit more about taz What when
Speaker 2: did you first start getting that.
Speaker 3: Tes was in so Tes was in primary school. Also
Speaker 3: in my family, my mum also just says Tes really
Speaker 3: just like we have a there's a car here, so
Speaker 3: that we go, a very very old model called Toyotatz.
Speaker 3: So I think the association with the name Teren automatically
Speaker 3: there's the name TZ. These terrens that I also know
Speaker 3: that have been called Tz. People with maybe their their
Speaker 3: names of tes mim end up being called Tz. So
Speaker 3: it just I was called it from primary school in
Speaker 3: my family, and I kind of just stuck. Although I
Speaker 3: don't hear it a lot, but every now and again
Speaker 3: I get called Taz by somebody who knows me.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. So, so, Taz, when did you
Speaker 2: first notice what color hair you had?
Speaker 3: This was a very This is a very interesting question
Speaker 3: because I've tried to remember as spot back as possible,
Speaker 3: and I realized what color hair I had when I
Speaker 3: looked at my mom and my dad, and my hair
Speaker 3: color was the same as these. So my hair is
Speaker 3: dark brown. And when I saw that my hair color
Speaker 3: when I was young was the same as my moms
Speaker 3: and dads, and that's when I knew that my hair
Speaker 3: color was dark brown because it was the.
Speaker 2: Same roughly how old would you say when you when
Speaker 2: you became aware.
Speaker 3: I think I think at the time when I could
Speaker 3: be aware about anything, so pretty much, I would take
Speaker 3: five years five years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep. Interesting. So what's your favorite thing to do
Speaker 2: to intentionally waste time?
Speaker 3: I don't have one answer to this. So the first
Speaker 3: first thing would be I will scroll on social media
Speaker 3: to waste time. I use it as as a distractive
Speaker 3: mechanism if I'm stressed or focusing on something too much,
Speaker 3: and I'll use that. Or I will get up and
Speaker 3: down and I'll pace like I'll literally pace and procrastinate
Speaker 3: like it's the task. So I'm a working progress.
Speaker 2: Interesting, So I'll ask you a different question along the
Speaker 2: same lines. What percentage of your waking hours do you
Speaker 2: think you are doing something like that to prepare for
Speaker 2: the next thing? Because I get when you say you're
Speaker 2: wasting time, you're actually not. What you're doing is you're
Speaker 2: reving up and supercharging that brain to get ready to
Speaker 2: go and get busy.
Speaker 3: No, that's true. I love that question because that's a
Speaker 3: very good differentiation. I don't actually do anything to waste
Speaker 3: time because I'm always focused focused on what I need
Speaker 3: to do next. And when I can get it done.
Speaker 3: I kind of have a bit of a short temperament
Speaker 3: where if I can get something done, then I'm going
Speaker 3: to get it done. So I will actually those times
Speaker 3: that I said where I'll be on social media pacing,
Speaker 3: I'm actually using social media to prepare for the next thing,
Speaker 3: as you just mentioned. Or my pacing will be when
Speaker 3: I'm getting content or things or puzzle pieces in my
Speaker 3: head for a brainstorming session or something together. But to
Speaker 3: waste time, I will spend time, for example the holiday season,
Speaker 3: doing absolutely nothing and reading a book. But to intention it,
Speaker 3: I don't ever intentionally waste time because I know time
Speaker 3: is a gift.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. And do you ever just notice that you
Speaker 2: are wasting time and go, Okay, that's enough of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I realized that because of overthinking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you got to let it cool down every
Speaker 2: once in a while, right, absolutely. So what's your favorite
Speaker 2: movie to watch alone?
Speaker 3: My favorite movie to watch alone is Enough by Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 2: Yes, And what do you love about that?
Speaker 3: The movie? For me, it resonates with me because she
Speaker 3: she went through something really horrible, which was abuse, but
Speaker 3: she took a stand and she fought back for her
Speaker 3: and her child. And I think that every woman, and
Speaker 3: it's not just woman, in any individual, there comes to
Speaker 3: points in your life where you take a stand and
Speaker 3: you stand up for yourself and you do what's right
Speaker 3: for you. And I just resonate with that, and I
Speaker 3: can watch that movie over and over again because it's
Speaker 3: so empowering just with the message.
Speaker 2: Does it make you? Does it move you? You know,
Speaker 2: to happiness and to tears all in the same movie.
Speaker 3: Not tears anymore. It's more, it doesn't not tears and
Speaker 3: happiness because obviously I know the ending. For me, it's
Speaker 3: just every time I watch it, it's just a reminder of
Speaker 3: with the gift of every single day, we have the
Speaker 3: power of choice, and that we can, you know, we can,
Speaker 3: with God's grace. We end by just be fighting back.
Speaker 3: I mean, let me summarize it like this. It gives
Speaker 3: me hope. It's a beautiful story that just gives me
Speaker 3: hope and that I need a tigh of hearing, because
Speaker 3: hope is what we need in this world where there's
Speaker 3: so much happening.
Speaker 2: That's great, that's really good. That's a really powerful message.
Speaker 2: And I hear what you say when you use the
Speaker 2: word hope. It's not like magical thinking hope. It's more
Speaker 2: like positive intentionality hope. You know that you know you
Speaker 2: will be enough, and that that's very powerful for people
Speaker 2: to start off with that confidence in life, that when
Speaker 2: you set your mind to do something at the beginning,
Speaker 2: especially when you have no idea what the outcome is
Speaker 2: going to take, but you take it on anyway and
Speaker 2: you just kind of like go with it and you
Speaker 2: do finish it because you're that kind of person. That's
Speaker 2: what I get from you.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, all right, So.
Speaker 2: Tarin, if you were to have an action figure made
Speaker 2: of you, what superpower would it have? What colors would
Speaker 2: its uniform to be?
Speaker 3: What super power if I had an action figure made
Speaker 3: of me, and what superpowers it would have? It would
Speaker 3: be the power to move people that move around, movement
Speaker 3: or stop time? And what else is they?
Speaker 2: Flying?
Speaker 3: I would also, I would say flying, and the colors
Speaker 3: would be blue and red because there are two two
Speaker 3: beautiful colors that I love, And yeah, I think that
Speaker 3: that could be blue and red.
Speaker 2: That's really wonderful. So first we'll talk about the colors,
Speaker 2: then we'll talk about the powers. So what what sort
Speaker 2: of shades or hues of blue and red? Would you want? So?
Speaker 3: Not very dark red, like going towards that maroon red. No,
Speaker 3: just a nice red kind of in the sensor and blue.
Speaker 3: I absolutely love navy blue. It's the color of my
Speaker 3: brand for my business. It just represents royalty, but not
Speaker 3: royalty in the ego scenes, just kind of elegance beauty.
Speaker 3: I also love the midnight sky, so I just love
Speaker 3: the blue, and I think the two together just complete
Speaker 3: each other, compliment each other.
Speaker 2: Yes, are you familiar with the term no bless obliege.
Speaker 3: I know, it's the first time I'm hearing it.
Speaker 2: The uh. It's a French term, and no bless obliege
Speaker 2: means that automatically, with power comes responsibility.
Speaker 3: Wow. That is beautiful.
Speaker 2: So having you know the notion of no blessed obliche,
Speaker 2: there are some things that people of royalty cannot turn down.
Speaker 3: Wow, thank you for sharing that.
Speaker 2: Beautiful. That would be the kind of blue that I
Speaker 2: would imagine that you're talking about.
Speaker 3: I like it even just saying it just sounds very
Speaker 3: very awesome.
Speaker 2: You can kind we could have a whole podcast just
Speaker 2: talking about no bless oblige.
Speaker 3: That's could That's just like educational. That's going to be
Speaker 3: an educational podcast right there.
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, So what did you want
Speaker 2: to grow up to be when you were five years old?
Speaker 3: I wanted to be a model.
Speaker 2: Take some more, what kind of model?
Speaker 3: Kind of like a runway model, but not in the
Speaker 3: lingerie sense, but just a runway model for women's clothes
Speaker 3: or taking photos fors with for brands and clothes, and
Speaker 3: that that was something I wanted to do when I
Speaker 3: was a little girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so are we talking Coco Chanel or are we
Speaker 2: talking Versagy or it doesn't really matter. Just get me
Speaker 2: on the right on the catwalk.
Speaker 3: I think starting out I would have gone with whoever.
Speaker 3: But actually building myself up, like building myself up in
Speaker 3: the industry, to be privileged to read, to model those clothes.
Speaker 3: That was something that i'd practice at home. I'd like
Speaker 3: to have my struts and walk down a passage and
Speaker 3: just to have the little attitude as I walked.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: It was fun. I had a crazy imagination when I
Speaker 3: was a child.
Speaker 2: I'm getting a mind picture of you at five years
Speaker 2: old doing that and putting the powd on and looking
Speaker 2: right and looking left and.
Speaker 3: Yes, and the turns and the looks and oh gosh.
Speaker 2: Yes, good for you. So what's your greatest accomplishment? Taren
Speaker 2: so far?
Speaker 3: So can that question be answered in a professional and
Speaker 3: a personal personal scenes capacity?
Speaker 2: Is your time? You answer it any way you like, Okay.
Speaker 3: So in a personal capacity, the greatest thing that I
Speaker 3: accomplished is being baptized. I'm very firm in my faith
Speaker 3: as a Christian. I love God. So being baptized on
Speaker 3: the nineteenth of March twenty twenty three, that was my
Speaker 3: greatest accomplishment. And in the professional sense, is that come
Speaker 3: the beginning of February, I will have my business for
Speaker 3: four years.
Speaker 2: Fantastic. We'll talk about the baptism if you're willing. What
Speaker 2: was your baptismal ceremony? Like?
Speaker 3: It was at my church and it was beautiful, beautiful
Speaker 3: baptism pool and just each one of us went in
Speaker 3: and got baptized by one of our pastors. It was
Speaker 3: a time of joy and just a very beautiful and
Speaker 3: churching moment in my life.
Speaker 2: Were you wearing a white robe?
Speaker 3: No, we wore black pants and a black shirt with beautiful,
Speaker 3: beautiful writing.
Speaker 2: It's about and how many other people were baptism with
Speaker 2: baptized with you on that day.
Speaker 3: Sure, I can't remember the number, but probably about thirty
Speaker 3: to forty people if I'm not mistaken. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an assembly line.
Speaker 3: It was the most wonderful thing to experience and have
Speaker 3: others and you know, being the line. It was adults
Speaker 3: and watched them and then they watch you and celebrate you.
Speaker 3: It was it was incredible.
Speaker 2: Did you have butterflies?
Speaker 3: I had tears. I had butterflies. I felt God's presence.
Speaker 3: It was an all a consisting moment. My mother was
Speaker 3: in the distance with friends, they were watching. Just a
Speaker 3: very very special moment in my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, do you consider that this is a born
Speaker 2: again act for you? Or was it a coming of age?
Speaker 2: Now I'm a Christian without the whole sense of you know,
Speaker 2: you know, it's an important thing to do in life,
Speaker 2: but choosing God and choosing Jesus Christ is a different
Speaker 2: thing altogether.
Speaker 3: So for me, it was it's it's it was just
Speaker 3: the next step in my journey of faith. I was
Speaker 3: saved in twenty nineteen when I accepted Jesus Christ savior
Speaker 3: and this was just the next stick. This was just
Speaker 3: the next stick in my faith.
Speaker 2: So yep, I love how we language that you know
Speaker 2: that I accepted him. I've been toying with the phrase
Speaker 2: of asking him to accept me. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: I think that's I hear where you're coming from. But
Speaker 3: he's always willing to He's always willing to accept you
Speaker 3: when you're willing to open up to him. That's what
Speaker 3: I believe.
Speaker 2: I completely agree with you, But I do like to
Speaker 2: play with language and look at it from different points.
Speaker 3: Of view, of course, which is what I absolutely admire
Speaker 3: about you, because you're very open minded and look things
Speaker 3: at different You open so seeing things at different points
Speaker 3: of view in that which is very very special, Yes.
Speaker 2: And by talking about it openly and as candidly as
Speaker 2: you're willing to, we start to hear what your perspective was,
Speaker 2: what your experience was. And these are profound things, things
Speaker 2: that I don't know that anybody ever asked you these
Speaker 2: questions before, and if they did, I don't mean to
Speaker 2: be mundane and redundant. But the point is, I think
Speaker 2: in the minutia, you know, it is how we really
Speaker 2: learn not only you know what other people do and think,
Speaker 2: but how to love them more dearly.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, you touched on that exactly. It's about
Speaker 3: communication and learning about the next person and accepting them
Speaker 3: for who they are and being open to learning. It's
Speaker 3: how it's going to make the world a better place.
Speaker 3: It would help resolve so many things if we just
Speaker 3: communicate it and open them more.
Speaker 2: Absolutely I appreciate that. And now about your other greatest
Speaker 2: accomplishment four years in business? Can you tell us what
Speaker 2: you do, how you got started, what your challenges have been,
Speaker 2: maybe some of your victories.
Speaker 3: Sure. So in COVID, I was working for a marketing
Speaker 3: PR company that came to an end, and I thought
Speaker 3: to myself what it is? In January, I was like,
Speaker 3: what am I going to do? And I had people
Speaker 3: contacting me in a freelance space and saying, could you
Speaker 3: help me with this? Could you help me with social media?
Speaker 3: Could you help me with some content? Could you help
Speaker 3: me with a strategy? And I thought to myself, you
Speaker 3: know what, there is something here. I think it's time
Speaker 3: that I'll start my own company. And so I started
Speaker 3: my company, Phoenix Media. My friend said to me, use
Speaker 3: Phoenix Media because your journey you are rising from the ashes,
Speaker 3: you are rising into the person you were meant to become.
Speaker 3: And so I started Phoenix Media, and I help my
Speaker 3: clients to build brands that they love and also attrack
Speaker 3: their ideal clients through social media marketing, social media strategy,
Speaker 3: and content creation. Challenges. Sure, as an entrepreneur, we faced
Speaker 3: so many challenges, but I think with me is the
Speaker 3: thing is that I keep going and I keep pushing
Speaker 3: and persevering, keep networking, meeting people, getting my business out there,
Speaker 3: just doing everything that I can and having wonderful conversations
Speaker 3: and collaborations with people. Challenges is whatever you are chopping.
Speaker 3: You are faces when there are slow months. Obviously, instead
Speaker 3: of working a nine to five, there are some days
Speaker 3: you work a whole twelve hour day because as a solopreneur,
Speaker 3: you are putting everything into your business if you don't outsource.
Speaker 3: But I do believe that those challenges are actually are
Speaker 3: actually learning learning curves for me because it's helped me
Speaker 3: reach this four year mark that I'm approaching in that's
Speaker 3: a big deal.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Being an entrepreneur. I started my business
Speaker 2: a long time ago, But the first five years they
Speaker 2: always say is the toughest. The first is the worst.
Speaker 2: But if you can make it five, you've got a
Speaker 2: fifty percent chance to make it to ten.
Speaker 3: There we go. I've got one need to go.
Speaker 2: There you go, So thank you for that. Now, who
Speaker 2: is your first favorite person to listen to?
Speaker 3: My favorite person to listen to. So for me, it
Speaker 3: goes back to worship music and that will be Brandon
Speaker 3: Lake and Elevation Worship. I just find that it's encouraging.
Speaker 3: I love that music and it's just what I enjoy
Speaker 3: listening to and what's on my playlist.
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it a lot. Is Are
Speaker 2: there any speakers or any orders that come to mind
Speaker 2: that you you know, either followed podcasts or or books
Speaker 2: on tape or or speeches in.
Speaker 3: General in what oh not? In the musical scenes. I
Speaker 3: love listening to who is that? Joyce Meyer podcasts in
Speaker 3: South Africa? I love also listening to Lucy Timba Kuayo?
Speaker 3: He is an entrepreneur?
Speaker 2: Who is it?
Speaker 3: Tony Robbins. I love listening to things like that, anything
Speaker 3: that is either part of my Christian journey that or
Speaker 3: part of help me that will help me in some
Speaker 3: way to grow as an entrepreneur.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very clear. You're a focused young lady, h and
Speaker 2: it looks to me like you're more working on being
Speaker 2: on rails than like covering the countryside. You know I
Speaker 2: like it, so please complete this sentence, Tarn. When I
Speaker 2: grow up, I'd like to travel the world, have all
Speaker 2: the world. Where would you go first?
Speaker 3: That'serinely Grease.
Speaker 2: Tell me some more about that. It's very precise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's on top of my bucket list. Second in
Speaker 3: San Francisco in the States, and then London and Germany.
Speaker 3: The reason being Censorinie. First is the movie Mama PM.
Speaker 3: I fell in love with the beautiful white the cliffs,
Speaker 3: the beautiful white buildings, and the blue the blue roofs,
Speaker 3: and the beautiful ocean. I love Nate, I love the ocean.
Speaker 3: I love the seaside. And every time I watch a
Speaker 3: movie and I see or somebody says they've been to
Speaker 3: Athens or they've been to Santorini more, I just fills
Speaker 3: with so much love because that's where I definitely wanted
Speaker 3: to go. And also in my family, my great great
Speaker 3: grandmother on my mother's side was Greek, so in a
Speaker 3: way there's a bit of family heritage in that direction
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: Santorini. That's great. What are maybe some obscure places that
Speaker 2: most people wouldn't think of, but you really want to
Speaker 2: go there.
Speaker 3: I think for me, I want to go to all
Speaker 3: the picturesque places that the touristy places, so really just
Speaker 3: those that are mentioned where else, I'd love to go
Speaker 3: to Brazil. That's where my first focus is right now.
Speaker 3: Where in Brazil, I guess weird Degenia.
Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, a lot to offer in Rio
Speaker 2: in every sense of the word, from the ocean to
Speaker 2: the mountains, to good food to great dancing, great people,
Speaker 2: beautiful language too.
Speaker 3: I don't understand the language much, but you've ticked a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of boxes there that I'm like, yes, es, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: you know it.
Speaker 2: I call it a higher level of Spanish. Portuguese is
Speaker 2: also a you know, a boot language like French, and
Speaker 2: you know Italian and everything. And I think I spend
Speaker 2: quite a bit of time in Connecticut with people who
Speaker 2: are from Brazil and so beyond Aubergato. I don't know
Speaker 2: a lot more words, but I can get by with
Speaker 2: a couple of things.
Speaker 3: Brigardo is thank you, Yes, beautiful.
Speaker 2: So what is the most important thing in life to
Speaker 2: you right now?
Speaker 3: The most important thing to en life to me right
Speaker 3: now is my walk with the Lord and that everything
Speaker 3: I do draws me closer to Him, and also making
Speaker 3: sure that I do the best that I can for
Speaker 3: my mom and I and just doing the best that
Speaker 3: I can in my business.
Speaker 2: Interesting, do you do you have any aspirations vocationally you know,
Speaker 2: to possibly be a and which faith are you in? Christianity?
Speaker 3: I am Intecostal and Tecostal.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly, right,
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. So can you see
Speaker 2: yourself ever being a preacher?
Speaker 3: I don't see myself being a preacher, but there could
Speaker 3: be a points down the line where I could maybe
Speaker 3: play a part in the church in a leadership role
Speaker 3: in helping others in some scenes. But otherwise I'd really
Speaker 3: love to just on my walk and just strengthening the
Speaker 3: faith and all of that. That right now is my focus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good for you. And what would you like to
Speaker 2: live in the world after your life is done? Sure? Sure?
Speaker 3: Shoo shoe shoe. Shoot? You know what I think what
Speaker 3: I would would what I would like to leave is
Speaker 3: that don't waste your life, live authentically. If there's anything
Speaker 3: that that people can take away from my time on
Speaker 3: this earth is love. Boldly, live authentically. Don't leave judgment
Speaker 3: of others or society depict how you should live your life.
Speaker 3: Live free, live abundant, love yourself, love your neighbor, be kind,
Speaker 3: and just don't waste your time on negativity. Just just
Speaker 3: love your life, Love your life, don't compare your life
Speaker 3: to others. Love your life, because at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, it's it's you that it's your life, it's
Speaker 3: not the next person. So for me, it's just live
Speaker 3: your life, it's yours. Live it to the fullest, napologetically.
Speaker 3: That's what I hope that people will take away from
Speaker 3: my journey.
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. There's so much in there, And how will
Speaker 2: you leave it? From a legacy standpoint, are you going
Speaker 2: to be writing books? Are you going to be doing
Speaker 2: public speaking and engaging people? From that standpoint, do you
Speaker 2: have a plan for what you're going to leave behind?
Speaker 3: So really it's I think we impact every single person
Speaker 3: we speak to. We impact them in a way a person.
Speaker 3: The time that you spend with someone who's is already
Speaker 3: an impact that you're making, and that you'll leave a
Speaker 3: lost memory. But in that type of sense, I think
Speaker 3: for me, just building a wonderful business, being the best
Speaker 3: daughter brain that I can be to those closest to me.
Speaker 3: And to answer your question in a more broader scenes,
Speaker 3: I'm definitely diving into writing books. I'm definitely diving into poetry.
Speaker 3: So in that sense, I definitely do hope.
Speaker 2: To leave a leicacy good for you. Yeah, publishing has
Speaker 2: a way of being durable. However, you know, it's also
Speaker 2: important for people to read it, so you have to
Speaker 2: get out from among all of the other noise that's
Speaker 2: out there to be heard. I don't know. First of all,
Speaker 2: let's tell people where you're from.
Speaker 3: I am from China's Books, South Africa.
Speaker 2: Yes, So from a custom standpoint, do you have you
Speaker 2: have vakeries over there that you go to.
Speaker 3: Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Do I have bakeries place where they bake bread and
Speaker 2: cupcakes and cakes and all that sort of thing, doughnuts,
Speaker 2: what have you? Well? I have a really good baker
Speaker 2: here and for years, anytime I go in and buy
Speaker 2: a dozen of something, when we just completed your twelfth question,
Speaker 2: I get a free one. So here's your baker's question.
Speaker 2: What is the there? You go exactly? Look what you one? Okay,
Speaker 2: what is the thing that most people misunderstand about you.
Speaker 3: This is a very nice question. What is the one
Speaker 3: thing that people missustain misunderstand about me? Would be that
Speaker 3: they mistaken my silence for weakness.
Speaker 2: Bad idea, right, very bad idea.
Speaker 3: I keep quiet because I believe in turning the other cheek,
Speaker 3: and there's time to respond and there's time to walk away.
Speaker 3: But my silence doesn't mean I'm weak. My silence just
Speaker 3: means that I value my time and I'm not going
Speaker 3: to waste my time and energy on met is that
Speaker 3: are not important to me. And I just prefer to
Speaker 3: being focused on where my focus is and spend time
Speaker 3: with those who matter. So my silence is not a weakness.
Speaker 3: It is a strength, but it can be misunderstood as
Speaker 3: a weakness.
Speaker 2: I like that, And it sounds to me like you
Speaker 2: put some thought into this, and you're perfectly okay with
Speaker 2: people thinking you're a weak rather than taking minutes of
Speaker 2: your time that you will never get back.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I believe in the theory called that let them theory,
Speaker 3: So let them think what they want. It's really what
Speaker 3: they think of me has got nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3: I wish them well, but it's got nothing to do
Speaker 3: with me. It's my silence, it's my time, it's my voice,
Speaker 3: and those who appreciate it will they will hear it.
Speaker 3: And my silence is a strength, it's not a weakness.
Speaker 3: So I let them be. I let them think what
Speaker 3: they want to think. If that's their choice to think
Speaker 3: that my silence is a weakness, that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 2: I have a feeling you'll be good with whatever happens
Speaker 2: and go from there.
Speaker 3: It's I believe in controlling what you can and what
Speaker 3: you can't control.
Speaker 2: Just let it go.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's one miscomposition, misconception. Where is my English today?
Speaker 3: That's one misconception that people have with me, is that
Speaker 3: my silence is a weakness, but it's actually my strength.
Speaker 2: Excellent. I love it. So that completes our questions. Do
Speaker 2: you have any questions of me? I do.
Speaker 3: My question to you is what is this beautiful? What
Speaker 3: is these beautiful interviews for?
Speaker 2: So this is interesting, So we'll kind of get into
Speaker 2: it from a thirty thousand foot perspective.
Speaker 4: However, whenever I see authority controlling the behavior of individual
Speaker 4: human beings, especially once they can't even see or interact with, it,
Speaker 4: breaks my heart, because I think that we're best when
Speaker 4: we are just who we are and we're not living
Speaker 4: into somebody else's view of what identity is.
Speaker 2: So that's the thirty thousand foot overarching premise. About four
Speaker 2: years ago we started my other podcast, which is Lighting
Speaker 2: the Candle a World that Works, And I did that
Speaker 2: kind of in a response to people not playing nicely
Speaker 2: with each other when our West coast cities in Oregon
Speaker 2: and Washington were on fire, you know, in Minneapolis, and
Speaker 2: it just didn't make any sense to me, and they
Speaker 2: were really focusing on you know, individual things that were
Speaker 2: going on and allowing people to go crazy while saying
Speaker 2: that the right way to be is this or that.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to do a little test, a little experiment,
Speaker 2: and find out what people are really like, you know,
Speaker 2: and whether or not they really do, either accidentally or
Speaker 2: intentionally or some other way, fall into these like groove
Speaker 2: categories that if you are this, then these are the
Speaker 2: things that matter to you. I'm not done yet, but
Speaker 2: so far I've found that that's pretty much what my
Speaker 2: grandmother used to call hogwash. And I have a premise
Speaker 2: about life that if people are left to their own
Speaker 2: intentions and encouraged, they will amaze you, They will delight
Speaker 2: and amde you. So that's what I'm really interested in,
Speaker 2: is not only having this opportunity in the beginning, it
Speaker 2: was really to find out are people really does their
Speaker 2: identity have anything to do at all with you know,
Speaker 2: what they're really like? And what I'm finding so far
Speaker 2: is is that there's another byproduct to that, which is,
Speaker 2: in many cases people hearing themselves answer these questions, something
Speaker 2: you know, wick up for them as well while they're
Speaker 2: doing this. And I can see it on your face
Speaker 2: and everyone's face that I've interviewed so far. Great question.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for sharing that and for answering it.
Speaker 3: Whether you chose to or not, I would have respected
Speaker 3: it either way, But thank you so much for that,
Speaker 3: because what is coming through is I'm getting a kind heart,
Speaker 3: a mind that just wants to communicate, some wants peace
Speaker 3: and love and join the world where we all live
Speaker 3: in harmony authentically. And I just want to say thank
Speaker 3: you for doing that. Thank you for opening your heart
Speaker 3: and sharing these spaces with me and people over the
Speaker 3: world and just saying let's be open to one another
Speaker 3: and learn because we can learn so much from one another.
Speaker 2: I completely agree, and there's one more aspect to it,
Speaker 2: and that is I consider myself an undountable champion for
Speaker 2: the possibility of all human beings, and that's undeniably.
Speaker 3: You are doing.
Speaker 2: All right. Great any other messages that you want to
Speaker 2: leave to our listeners, because you've been absolutely fantastic, Taran.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for the opportunity, And just again,
