So as part of our Summit Series, as you know, I'm putting on my second annual health summit, which will be January 14 to the 16th 2022. We have one of our featured speakers today, and he's an amazing human being. I'm so excited that we could book him. His name is Joshua Townsend Zellner. And let me give you a little background about Joshua. He's been involved in the entertainment industry for all of his adult life. And he has coupled that work with things like yoga and shamanic healing, esoteric worlds. And I've taken some of his workshops, and he's very nature based very holistic, especially in the creative process and storytelling. So I want to bring him on Joshua, it is great to have you on the program. How are you today? How's it going? 01:09 I'm doing great. And thank you so much for the invitation. Sam is such a delight to see you. 01:14 Yeah, likewise. So there's so many areas we can go. And by the way, we've got some great questions from followers. So we'll get to those in a few minutes.

And it's related to the creative process perception, being present, and awareness. So why don't we open that door? And give us a view and your perspective on these things? 01:53 Wow, those are three great words. I really appreciate that. Thank you. And what I'm realizing in that moment is, you know, awareness, right? 02:00 Hmm. Yeah. 02:02 So I'll take that for all just take that one word, awareness.

And that creates like a situation like, I can hear myself, I can hear myself listening more. As opposed to when I'm when my head is like straight like this, then I feel more balanced and more like, yes, how can I help you? But here I have, like an, I have an opportunity, from a sentiment perspective, to actually have like, more curiosity, more leaning in, tell me more, you know,
