What drives true entrepreneurs to push beyond comfort zones and build something extraordinary? Rachel and Mark Squire reveal the raw, unfiltered truth about their journey creating a thriving community space despite overwhelming odds. 

Starting with just $30 in their account and bills looming, the Squires walked away from stable employment to pursue a vision they couldn't fully explain. "I always felt like I was meant for more," Rachel confesses, describing how her husband challenged her to quit her Starbucks job and take the entrepreneurial leap. What followed was a masterclass in faith-based business building that defied conventional wisdom.

Their approach turned traditional business models upside down. Rather than maintaining tight control, they discovered unexpected growth through surrender. When money was stolen and partnerships failed, they developed a transformative philosophy: "Bless it and move on." This counterintuitive response to setbacks became their superpower, with Rachel noting that resources always returned "in multiples" when they refused to become bitter.

The Squires have created more than a business—they've built a platform where others can shine. "Come speak on our platform, get your experience, get your followers, get everything you need," Rachel explains, describing their venue as "a springboard" for emerging voices. Their community-first approach challenges the scarcity mindset plaguing many entrepreneurs.

Most powerfully, they offer wisdom on decision-making and perseverance. "You can do this the hard way or the harder way," Rachel warns about postponing difficult choices. Their journey illuminates why many entrepreneurs fail: either "they're walking a path that doesn't belong to them" or "they give up too easily when the going gets tough."

So all those people that are like not making it, it's either A because they're walking a path that doesn't belong to them, or they're walking a path and they give up too easy because the going gets tough and they just, they get going, Just keep tellin' her Just keep tellin' her.

00:00:51.554 --> 00:00:57.435
Before we jump into today's episode, we wanted to give you a little context.

00:00:57.435 --> 00:01:06.158
We started recording mid-conversation, but the insight was too valuable not to capture.

00:01:06.158 --> 00:01:19.447
In this episode, we're joined by Rachel and Mark Squire, two passionate leaders who are deeply invested in building an authentic community.

00:01:19.447 --> 00:01:33.034
Rachel shares how attending a recent women's event has helped her uncover her core motivation and find the confidence to speak to larger audiences with purpose.

00:01:33.034 --> 00:01:46.233
She also opens up about the Squire After Dark, a platform her and Mark created as a safe space for honest conversation and community connection.

00:01:46.233 --> 00:01:59.292
Hey, even though we're jumping in midway, trust us, what follows is meaningful, is heartfelt and worth every minute.

00:01:59.292 --> 00:02:02.325
So come on, let's get into it.

00:02:02.325 --> 00:02:04.397
That is it.

00:02:04.859 --> 00:02:12.205
That is perfect, that is purpose, that is vision and you can really feel in here and, of course, we all believers.

00:02:12.205 --> 00:02:16.504
You can feel when a place is anointed Because it's family.

00:02:16.504 --> 00:02:20.878
It's not only strangers, there's not any bad energy in here.

00:02:24.406 --> 00:02:34.090
I'm a person that had terrible social anxiety, terrible social anxiety, and, if I can just be so transparent with you, yes, please.

00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:35.784
God had set me down.

00:02:35.784 --> 00:02:36.968
I wrote a couple books.

00:02:36.968 --> 00:02:38.646
I wrote about 10 books, wow.

00:02:38.646 --> 00:02:43.308
And Linda's event was the one.

00:02:43.308 --> 00:02:48.487
God said I'm releasing you now you did all this other stuff You've been hiding.

00:02:48.487 --> 00:02:49.631
He said now come out.

00:02:49.631 --> 00:02:53.444
And I was nervous when I came in this place.

00:02:53.444 --> 00:02:58.723
It wasn't even Linda, it was your son in this place that made me go.

00:02:58.723 --> 00:03:00.669
This is God, amen, like.

00:03:00.669 --> 00:03:12.331
Immediately I looked around and God gave me a vision a couple months ago and I just knew it was for the place downtown, the, the kitchen, the, some kids community.

00:03:12.331 --> 00:03:16.211
But when I walked in here, this was the vision God showed me it was yours.

00:03:16.211 --> 00:03:17.937
So then I talked to your husband.

00:03:17.937 --> 00:03:19.241
He's like it was my wife's vision.

00:03:19.241 --> 00:03:20.082
I'm like that's God.

00:03:20.143 --> 00:03:21.004
Actually, I saw it too.

00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:29.790
Wow, because what God gave me was for me to get with Moms on a Mission.

00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:31.539
Those women, oh, I've heard about them.

00:03:31.539 --> 00:03:43.352
Please connect me, I will, please, I will, and just sit with them and let them have an audience and a place where they can talk about their losses, their gains, how they go through it.

00:03:43.352 --> 00:03:51.367
And when I saw it, I was like, okay, I got to meet her, I got to meet her I got to meet her and God just aligned everything.

00:03:52.020 --> 00:03:53.406
I just want you to know keep going.

00:03:53.406 --> 00:04:01.890
This is obedience, is way better than sacrifice, and I know you guys let go some things, but this is, oh, my God.

00:04:01.890 --> 00:04:02.853
God is in this.

00:04:02.853 --> 00:04:04.564
God is in this.

00:04:05.320 --> 00:04:23.850
I appreciate you saying that, because I know sometimes when it seems a little difficult, you know we struggle with that and it's like I don't need to know the how, I just need to know that God's got my back and that at some point, the how will show itself, and so that's how we relinquish control and that's how our business has been thriving and that's how, like, things are catapulting.

00:04:23.889 --> 00:04:30.956
I think when you hold onto things too closely with that vice grip because I know best and we know what we're doing you lose it.

00:04:30.956 --> 00:04:32.324
You lose it very, very quickly.

00:04:32.324 --> 00:04:37.091
And when you give away that control, you relinquish it and say I'm trusting.

00:04:37.091 --> 00:04:41.509
And in those moments when it seems like, oh my gosh, what are we doing?

00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:51.843
Things are not going the way we anticipated, but like that hand of favor is on it.

00:04:51.843 --> 00:04:54.836
We don't need to know how, like people were flocking to us, people were coming to us saying, hey, we want to help you, hey, we want to collaborate.

00:04:54.836 --> 00:04:57.286
We got so much advice in the beginning, so many great ideas.

00:04:57.728 --> 00:04:59.374
This was a community effort.

00:04:59.374 --> 00:05:04.990
Like we did not get here by ourselves and we are not maintaining or growing by ourselves.

00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:08.449
This has been Dylan and Mark myself, you guys.

00:05:08.449 --> 00:05:11.178
This has been every person that he reaches out to.

00:05:11.178 --> 00:05:12.281
That reaches out to us.

00:05:12.281 --> 00:05:30.689
Like we are all building this together and it's so, so beautiful and so rewarding, like hearing that music in there, hearing someone use their gift, their talent, on a stage on a platform, seeing everyone serve, like beautiful, like I can't imagine anything better happening in that space.

00:05:30.689 --> 00:05:38.466
Every time something comes to pass, a beautiful event, collaboration of entrepreneurs, community, shreveport specifically.

00:05:38.466 --> 00:05:42.230
Like there's so many big companies out here and I'm like why are we supporting them?

00:05:42.230 --> 00:05:44.487
We need to be supporting our own people.

00:05:44.487 --> 00:05:50.822
We can go, we can move mountains when we work together and so I want to work with our community.

00:05:50.841 --> 00:05:54.690
Like I'm not gonna lie, I I ran away from Shreveport for a very long time.

00:05:54.690 --> 00:05:57.665
I always thought I was running from the place, I was running for myself.

00:05:57.665 --> 00:06:00.641
And I came back here and my son pointed out.

00:06:00.641 --> 00:06:09.295
He said, mom, you love it because of the people that you're around, because of who you're surrounding yourself, and like Shreveport's growing on me, I love it, I want to support it.

00:06:09.295 --> 00:06:12.987
And like I can't imagine doing anything differently.

00:06:12.987 --> 00:06:14.672
And you guys have been so amazing.

00:06:14.672 --> 00:06:19.173
The whole community really like this has just been like unbelievable.

00:06:19.173 --> 00:06:45.639
Every day something new, constantly growing, and just the love and support like there's just you can't even put into words, like the amount it's overflowing every single moment in this business when visions come to life, overflowing, people coming in, overflowing relationships, overflowing collaboration, overflowing, like it's not just our dreams, it's free for it, it's everybody's dreams in there.

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:46.422
Can you cry?

00:06:46.442 --> 00:06:47.504
about it again.

00:06:47.605 --> 00:06:56.127
But like people, this is, this is a great space for people who have a vision, who have a purpose, and no one wants to give them a chance.

00:06:56.127 --> 00:07:00.730
Yes, no one wants to give them that platform you know, and I don't believe in that.

00:07:01.312 --> 00:07:04.303
I think that we're all here for a specific reason, of specific purpose.

00:07:04.303 --> 00:07:08.642
I don't care if you don't have what you need to satisfy somebody else who's bigger.

00:07:08.642 --> 00:07:18.463
Come speak on our platform, come share your message, get your experience, get your followers, get everything that you need to get your message out.

00:07:18.463 --> 00:07:19.708
Gain the experience and go.

00:07:19.708 --> 00:07:22.021
Be bigger, spread your wings and fly.

00:07:22.021 --> 00:07:31.867
Just want to be like a jumping board, a springboard for people and at the studio we normally have tissue.

00:07:32.028 --> 00:07:32.649
I'm so sorry.

00:07:32.649 --> 00:07:41.463
I'm a hard try out, in case you didn't know yeah, my, I'm full of heart.

00:07:42.144 --> 00:07:42.846
There's no gut in.

00:07:42.846 --> 00:07:46.353
It's a little bit of brain but no gut, just heart.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:51.172
I'm the gut guy, she's the heart Balance.

00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:53.108
Yes, he definitely has balance.

00:07:54.161 --> 00:07:58.552
He keeps me grounded, but he also helps make the visions and the dreams become a reality.

00:07:58.552 --> 00:08:02.288
I kind of like fly off into the sky.

00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:07.182
I'm a hot air balloon and he's my anchor, and he's like honey, honey.

00:08:07.201 --> 00:08:08.850
Like I love your dreams, I love your vision.

00:08:08.850 --> 00:08:10.738
We got to be realistic about this.

00:08:10.738 --> 00:08:12.862
Let's see what we can do to actually make it happen.

00:08:12.882 --> 00:08:16.309
So all the hats you wear.

00:08:16.309 --> 00:08:25.911
How do you guys manage parenting, two businesses, marriage, family outside of your own family?

00:08:25.911 --> 00:08:27.774
How do you manage all of that?

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:33.150
Difficult, it's been difficult trying to find a balance.

00:08:35.181 --> 00:08:39.173
It's been a lot of trial and error With managing the business.

00:08:39.173 --> 00:08:55.548
We both kind of had to figure out our roles, because when you start business with someone you think you know it all, you think you can do it all, and that's not true, and so it's taken a lot of like vulnerability and trust and you've had to admit, hey, I suck at this area but you're really really good at it.

00:08:55.548 --> 00:08:57.020
Can you like handle that?

00:08:57.020 --> 00:09:04.013
So we've just been playing off of each other's strengths and then with family, that's been tough.

00:09:04.013 --> 00:09:06.845
We've had to try and find a good balance and routine.

00:09:06.845 --> 00:09:09.360
We're finally in a really good place as far as that goes.

00:09:09.442 --> 00:09:17.980
But I mean, for the last year it's been our schedules been kind of like ebbing and flowing, and so sometimes we have a lot more time than other times.

00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:22.049
We are like pressed for time and we just have a lot of responsibilities.

00:09:22.049 --> 00:09:26.090
Prioritization, I would say that's important.

00:09:26.090 --> 00:09:28.749
We are still trying to navigate.

00:09:28.749 --> 00:09:34.090
So it's like work, family and then us, and so I would say we're probably on the back burner.

00:09:34.090 --> 00:09:37.669
So we have to be very, very intentional about it.

00:09:37.669 --> 00:09:43.773
We'll go through periods where we realize like, whoa, we're not connecting enough or we're not prioritizing our relationship.

00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:49.523
Around August, september, I got promoted to a shift lead, which meant more hours, yeah, and so he was.

00:09:49.583 --> 00:09:50.447
Non-traditional.

00:09:50.547 --> 00:09:51.389
Non-traditional.

00:09:51.389 --> 00:10:03.067
They were more mid-shift to evening, so I was missing out on bedtimes, I was missing out on all these things with my daughter, and so he was staying at home with her so I could go do that.

00:10:03.067 --> 00:10:04.671
And he finally was like Rachel.

00:10:04.671 --> 00:10:08.743
He's like this is not the family I want, this is.

00:10:08.743 --> 00:10:10.028
This is non-traditional.

00:10:10.028 --> 00:10:11.113
I don't support this.

00:10:11.113 --> 00:10:14.940
He's like if you want to continue working here, he's like you're gonna have to find a babysitter.

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:16.287
He's like I'm not doing it.

00:10:16.287 --> 00:10:18.639
And I was like but we need to pay the bills.

00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.102
And so then he he pitched me on it and he was like why don't you quit and we'll go all in on insurance?

00:10:24.102 --> 00:10:31.206
And he had been pushing for insurance for a good several years, wow, and I quit.

00:10:31.206 --> 00:10:45.092
I used the last $500 on one of my credit cards, got us the office at the Regions building, regis, 13th floor, got our first little office, went all in, had no idea how we were going to pay our bills.

00:10:45.113 --> 00:10:46.614
We were pretty broke at the time.

00:10:46.874 --> 00:10:47.514
Very broke.

00:10:47.514 --> 00:10:48.634
We had like 30 bucks.

00:10:48.634 --> 00:10:49.796
We didn't make it last for two weeks.

00:10:49.796 --> 00:10:51.576
I was like tuna fish sandwiches, baby.

00:10:51.576 --> 00:10:53.557
We got onions and apples and eggs.

00:10:53.557 --> 00:10:56.379
Tuna fish, some mayo, Got some bread.

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:59.022
We'll make it last for the week, Like we got this.

00:10:59.402 --> 00:11:07.548
And you know, it took a lot of trust in each other and a lot of just faith Because, again, we didn't know how.

00:11:07.548 --> 00:11:09.589
We just had the trust and it was come to pass.

00:11:09.589 --> 00:11:15.393
And let me tell you, if Mark hadn't challenged me, I didn't quit my job in Starbucks, I would still be there.

00:11:15.393 --> 00:11:17.875
This venue space would not be coming to pass.

00:11:17.875 --> 00:11:20.096
None of this would be coming to pass.

00:11:20.096 --> 00:11:20.476
Nothing.

00:11:20.476 --> 00:11:30.505
Because he challenged me and I would have stayed on the hamster wheel, I would have continued working the nine-to-five or the two to eleven, because those gotta be paid.

00:11:30.505 --> 00:11:38.179
And you know, you, you're being told you gotta, you gotta, work for the government to make your money, you guys are entrepreneurs.

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:46.561
You know like literally in your purpose like you don't need to know the how right.

00:11:46.561 --> 00:11:58.426
You need to know that that check's coming in the mail the day that you need it, when you need it by the time you need it and let me say this there was a time where I was like, oh my god, we have these bills we have to pay and the money wasn't there.

00:11:59.729 --> 00:12:08.357
It was still on time, but it wasn't on the time that I thought I needed it by and I remember we were crying together about it and I was like it feels like he's late.

00:12:08.357 --> 00:12:10.085
Why is he not on time?

00:12:10.085 --> 00:12:13.542
He's always on time because I've never seen God not show up, never.

00:12:13.542 --> 00:12:16.350
I have he's always been on time, always.

00:12:16.350 --> 00:12:28.908
And it was at the last minute, girl, and I was, I was altering and I never falter and I was like I've never seen this before and even though I thought it was late, it was still on time.

00:12:28.967 --> 00:12:34.530
It wasn't my time, it was God's time, and so sometimes, like you, have to be reminded like girl, you think you know it all and you don't.

00:12:34.961 --> 00:12:36.466
Like God, is still on time.

00:12:36.466 --> 00:12:38.544
He's a good God all the time.

00:12:39.105 --> 00:12:40.831
On time, all the time Exactly.

00:12:46.820 --> 00:13:01.345
Not time, exactly not my time, his time, and so like it was so humbling, you know, for someone who's always had that faith and I've always seen him show up in my mind's time, right, and that was the first time I was actually challenged in that like I was pressed, I was my my safety was pressed and I felt so like I felt very fragile in that moment.

00:13:01.345 --> 00:13:05.110
But he showed up though, so I can't complain.

00:13:05.650 --> 00:13:10.277
The more that happened, the more our faith increased.

00:13:10.277 --> 00:13:12.220
So it's like it's okay.

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:19.624
Well, we have a little bit of doubt, but God showed up on time, and the next time little smidgen of doubt.

00:13:19.624 --> 00:13:21.687
God showed up on time.

00:13:21.687 --> 00:13:29.702
Then the next time it's just like no, god's got this one and showed up on time.

00:13:29.702 --> 00:13:30.404
Then it's like it's.

00:13:30.505 --> 00:13:41.221
It's like your faith muscle continues to build yeah as you go on, but I don't know if you ever really experienced a lot of that like in your life, you know, with, with, waiting on god.

00:13:41.221 --> 00:13:45.793
I don't know like I think that was the panic strike at all points.

00:13:46.461 --> 00:13:47.868
I think that was me for him.

00:13:48.201 --> 00:13:49.726
I was like no, no, honey, I got this.

00:13:49.726 --> 00:13:51.145
I was like we got this, god got this.

00:13:51.145 --> 00:13:53.028
I was like he's always on time.

00:13:54.666 --> 00:13:58.581
And I always held fast, except for that one time where I was like, oh my gosh, what are we going to do?

00:13:58.581 --> 00:13:59.485
And I panicked.

00:13:59.485 --> 00:14:04.788
But no, we had to trust in each other, trust in God, trust in the vision.

00:14:04.788 --> 00:14:06.291
We had to be obedient.

00:14:06.291 --> 00:14:14.451
I love that word, I'm going to cling to it because that is exactly what it is, and through that, like that's where this is born.

00:14:14.451 --> 00:14:20.852
This is born on the foundation of faith, of not knowing how or why or any of that.

00:14:20.852 --> 00:14:22.063
Like that's how I know.

00:14:22.063 --> 00:14:25.755
Like God's hand is on this, and if it wasn't, girl, we would not be here.

00:14:25.755 --> 00:14:27.244
You're right, his challenge.

00:14:27.244 --> 00:14:28.368
You started this.

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:33.889
I mean throughout this entire process we've had large sums of money stolen from us.

00:14:33.889 --> 00:14:36.729
We haven't been paid money that we were owed.

00:14:36.729 --> 00:14:39.707
I mean all sorts of crazy obstacles.

00:14:40.089 --> 00:14:40.890
Wild, wild.

00:14:40.890 --> 00:14:42.807
And it's like, oh, is this going to break us this time?

00:14:42.807 --> 00:14:47.000
Nah, wild, wild.

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.645
And it's like, oh, is this gonna break us this time?

00:14:49.666 --> 00:14:51.828
nah, nah now we got this, god's got this, we're good, we're good.

00:14:51.828 --> 00:14:54.173
Yeah, he was a catalyst, lots of money stolen from us.

00:14:54.173 --> 00:14:56.524
But you know, we said you know what there's?

00:14:58.067 --> 00:15:07.312
there's an answer somewhere lurking behind all of this yeah, well, we always say bless it and move on too like anytime, we always say bless it and move on too Anytime something comes and goes, bless it and move on.

00:15:07.312 --> 00:15:09.888
I can't cry about it because I know God's blessing it.

00:15:09.888 --> 00:15:19.022
Maybe he's blessing it tenfold, maybe twofold, I don't know, but it's going to come back in multiples, and so I just say, honey, it left us, it's fine, bless it and move on.

00:15:19.643 --> 00:15:23.610
And we have been very richly blessed every time, and so we just want to be good stewards of it.

00:15:23.850 --> 00:15:31.201
Honestly, like this is, this is, this was not for us, this was for everybody else and so we have to be good stewards of it.

00:15:31.201 --> 00:15:37.746
And I I always tell him I'm like when we are trusted with small stuff and we're good stewards of the small stuff, we're giving bigger stuff.

00:15:37.746 --> 00:15:40.456
So we're giving more to more to manage.

00:15:40.456 --> 00:15:41.620
We, you know we get.

00:15:41.660 --> 00:15:58.500
We get to steward more things, and so we just try to be the best stewards as we can be, from a business standpoint, what would be something that you guys did go through that now you realize it could have gone a different way.

00:15:58.902 --> 00:16:02.701
Oh my gosh, so many things, so many things.

00:16:02.701 --> 00:16:08.159
So I'm going to take the reins on this one, because it's something that is really like.

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:17.427
Stuck out to me is you know, you get little signs here and there along the way saying, hey, you need to make the decision, hey, you need to take care of this.

00:16:17.427 --> 00:16:30.350
And I told Mark I'm like we sit on those decisions and every time we sit on those decisions we end up losing more than we would have if we had just made the been strong and courageous in the first place.

00:16:30.350 --> 00:16:34.403
And so I tell him I'm like we can do this the hard way or the harder way.

00:16:34.864 --> 00:16:46.669
It's uncomfortable in the beginning when you have to make decisions and you have to let people go, or you have to make budget cuts and cause you don't want to, Right, and you can either do it when God calls you to or you can wait and you'll lose double.

00:16:46.669 --> 00:16:51.548
You lose 10 times more than you would have if you had just listened in the first place.

00:16:51.548 --> 00:17:00.149
And so we're learning you know you talk about obedience like we're learning how important it is to when you he's the gut guy, I'm the heart guy or the heart girl, whatever.

00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:02.945
Like you know, when he's got those gut feelings.

00:17:02.945 --> 00:17:20.910
Ooh, I think this person we got to let them go and I'm like, well, well, well, you know I'm, I give a different voice, but like, at the end of the day, his gut has always served us well and he knows it's just a matter of us making that hard decision, just committing to it and being obedient, like we've struggled with obedience so much.

00:17:20.910 --> 00:17:24.282
Those hard decisions, nobody wants to make them, nobody wants to be the bad guy.

00:17:24.442 --> 00:17:31.888
Yeah, so yeah and after it came back to bite us a number of times, yes, we kind of finally learned like, okay, we're gonna, we're going to listen to you now.

00:17:32.069 --> 00:17:32.471
Yeah.

00:17:32.791 --> 00:17:44.932
Yeah, and we're definitely, when we come across those hard decisions, we both it's not he makes the decision or I make the decision we're having to trust each other because a lot of times, I think I know better or he thinks he knows better.

00:17:44.932 --> 00:17:49.592
Again, we did not get here by ourselves, so why are we making decisions by ourselves?

00:17:49.592 --> 00:17:59.826
Right, and in those times where we're called to be obedient, I have to trust him, he has to trust me.

00:17:59.826 --> 00:18:01.954
We have to work together and I feel like we've been making a lot more, a lot of our decisions more quickly.

00:18:01.954 --> 00:18:06.949
Right, we haven't been sitting on them and I think that we've been spared a lot of heartache and trouble because of that.

00:18:06.949 --> 00:18:11.906
We we learned the hard way, the harder way.

00:18:11.987 --> 00:18:19.323
So, yes, I mean, it's harder, harder yeah you can be uncomfortable in the moment or you can be uncomfortable later and suffer a great loss financially.

00:18:19.323 --> 00:18:22.390
So it just I mean harder, harder.

00:18:22.390 --> 00:18:27.220
Yeah, just have to make the decision on what kind of discomfort and how long you want to stay uncomfortable.

00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:32.249
So not fun yeah yeah, but that would, that would.

00:18:32.249 --> 00:18:38.907
But that would be a good lesson for people in business and you know that kind of good lesson.

00:18:39.910 --> 00:18:40.612
Yes, ma'am.

00:18:40.731 --> 00:18:45.208
Yes, ma'am, this was good, that was so good.

00:18:45.208 --> 00:18:47.248
I don't know if you had anything that you were thinking of.

00:18:48.501 --> 00:18:50.348
No, you nailed exactly what I was thinking of.

00:18:50.348 --> 00:18:51.565
Great, the exact situation.

00:18:51.565 --> 00:18:52.230
Yes, I could talk to you.

00:18:52.230 --> 00:18:53.019
Great the exact situation.

00:18:53.038 --> 00:18:54.545
Yes, I could talk to you ladies forever.

00:18:54.545 --> 00:18:56.049
Incredible job though you guys are so amazing.

00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.369
You guys are Like oh my gosh, we just connect.

00:19:00.369 --> 00:19:05.269
I just feel like y'all are my family, that's my brother, that's my sister.

00:19:05.269 --> 00:19:06.172
Y'all know them.

00:19:06.172 --> 00:19:06.492
Yes, yes.

00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:12.991
Every time someone comes in here we are family, like we're all connected, we're all in the same community.

00:19:12.991 --> 00:19:14.575
Like I can't stand the division.

00:19:14.575 --> 00:19:17.688
Like why does everyone have to be out for themselves?

00:19:17.688 --> 00:19:20.338
Like Right, right.

00:19:20.580 --> 00:19:22.212
I'm so happy you guys decided to come back.

00:19:22.232 --> 00:19:22.979
I know Thank you.

00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:30.119
They wanted to interview me at the vegan festival and I was like no, you gotta have she's.

00:19:30.141 --> 00:19:32.962
Like you're right, you gotta have she's like you're right.

00:19:33.002 --> 00:19:34.223
No, no, I told them.

00:19:34.223 --> 00:19:38.326
I said your passion is what created this whole thing.

00:19:38.407 --> 00:19:39.868
Oh, thank you honey.

00:19:39.868 --> 00:19:41.289
Yeah, but you were the catalyst.

00:19:41.289 --> 00:19:45.594
If you hadn't challenged me, we would not be sitting here right now, See.

00:19:45.594 --> 00:19:52.145
So I've always felt like I was meant for more and meant to do greater things, but I've always played it safe.

00:19:52.145 --> 00:19:53.336
I've always been responsible.

00:19:53.336 --> 00:19:56.501
And he's like eh, responsibility, who needs that?

00:19:56.521 --> 00:20:10.704
Throw caution to the wind, Just be done with it and I've always been the risk taker and I'm just like, eh, it'll work itself out, even though many times it didn't Gotcha gotcha, I mean, but that's how it goes in business, right?

00:20:10.744 --> 00:20:11.988
You guys took a leap of faith.

00:20:11.988 --> 00:20:14.932
Yes, I mean, I'm sure it hasn't been easy for you either.

00:20:14.932 --> 00:20:15.574
You're right.

00:20:15.993 --> 00:20:18.384
You're right, y'all really just told our story.

00:20:18.384 --> 00:20:19.488
Yeah, I did Okay.

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.482
So I'm going to, I'm going to.

00:20:21.482 --> 00:20:23.681
I'm going to say this too, because I tell Mark all the time.

00:20:23.681 --> 00:20:25.769
You know what sets us apart from the rest of the people?

00:20:25.769 --> 00:20:35.642
Per faith in the unknown, most people give up.

00:20:35.642 --> 00:20:36.944
They get hit one, two, three times and they never get back up.

00:20:36.944 --> 00:20:41.561
We're walking in, we're walking in purpose, like I'm sorry, you don't have the option to not get back up.

00:20:41.561 --> 00:20:43.768
All those people that are like not making it.

00:20:43.768 --> 00:20:52.814
It's either a because they're walking a path that doesn't belong to them, or they're walking a path and they give up too easy because the going gets tough and they just they get going.

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.984
So I mean, yeah, that's true.

00:21:03.984 --> 00:21:05.851
That's just saying, that's true, that was good, that was good.

00:21:05.851 --> 00:21:06.432
Did you record that that was?

00:21:06.432 --> 00:21:06.753
That was good.

00:21:06.753 --> 00:21:08.338
I had to clone that one that's got to go in the front.

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.806
I don't even know what I said I just let, I just let the whole guy I told mark I'm like I don't even know what I said.

00:21:11.826 --> 00:21:12.969
I just let the Holy Spirit speak through me, girl.

00:21:13.048 --> 00:21:18.467
I tell Mark, I'm like, I don't care about public speaking, I just get up there and it just happens and it's so organic and it just flows.

00:21:18.467 --> 00:21:24.288
I don't need a script Like I'm just, it's organic, I'm like yeah, just the anointing, just the Holy Spirit.

00:21:24.388 --> 00:21:25.692
I just thank you Jesus.

00:21:25.692 --> 00:21:27.067
Thank you Jesus.

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:29.361
Let him have it.

00:21:29.361 --> 00:21:30.923
Hallelujah, let them have it.

00:21:30.923 --> 00:21:31.564
That's it.

00:21:31.584 --> 00:21:32.726
Amen, that's it.

00:21:32.726 --> 00:21:33.846
Let them have it.

00:21:33.846 --> 00:21:34.268
That's it.

00:21:34.268 --> 00:21:35.970
No, I'm good, gosh babe.

00:21:35.970 --> 00:21:37.451
This was refreshing.

00:21:37.451 --> 00:21:39.315
Thank you All right guys.

00:21:39.315 --> 00:21:40.984
