5
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.190
Excited to visit with not one, but two amazing guests today,
6
00:00:19.269 --> 00:00:22.789
Matt and Dina. And we have a really cool marriage
7
00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:25.390
event coming up. I'm saying it all wrong. It's called
8
00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:27.390
Encourage Couple. Is that right, Dina?
9
00:00:27.609 --> 00:00:28.070
That's correct.
10
00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:30.519
And let's talk a little bit about the event. It's
11
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.619
coming up on Friday the 13th, so it'll be here
12
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.840
before you know it. Tell me a little bit about
13
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.640
what is going to happen, then we'll talk about where
14
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:38.000
and when and all of that. But what is the
15
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:39.479
event all about next Friday?
16
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.619
This is going to be a storytelling event where Dean
17
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.299
and I will share what we have gone through, a
18
00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:52.009
little bit about our 35-year marriage, and mainly about what
19
00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:57.350
has happened since last year, our last speaking event, and
20
00:00:57.429 --> 00:01:01.049
where we... felt we were connected at that time. And
21
00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:06.670
the following year really emphatically showed us how much more
22
00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:12.019
growth that we had to get. And the main part
23
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:16.379
of the story will be about how we acquired this
24
00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.879
authentic connection that we have now and to maybe inspire
25
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.920
and give people some hope in their relationships or if
26
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.079
they're single, what they will look for when they find
27
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:27.920
a partner in life.
28
00:01:28.329 --> 00:01:28.769
I love that.
29
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:30.250
And, you know, my wife and I have been married
30
00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:33.250
27 years and I'm sure you guys can probably relate
31
00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:34.859
to this too. There are days where I feel like
32
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.719
everything clicks and everything's just perfect. And there's days where
33
00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:40.180
you're like, how are we even married? Like we don't
34
00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:43.939
agree on anything today. So I think most people can
35
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.969
probably relate to that. You know, there's good days and
36
00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:48.150
there's bad days, but you know, if they come to
37
00:01:48.189 --> 00:01:51.650
this event next Friday, ideally what they'll do is they'll
38
00:01:51.670 --> 00:01:55.450
walk away understanding how to make more good days, right?
39
00:01:55.829 --> 00:02:00.049
Absolutely. And how to notice that the bad days, quote unquote,
40
00:02:00.290 --> 00:02:02.670
are maybe just opportunities for growth.
41
00:02:03.109 --> 00:02:07.069
Absolutely. And if people are interested in coming to this event,
42
00:02:07.090 --> 00:02:08.669
we're going to tell them how to do that here
43
00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:11.879
in a moment. But right now I'm on the Facebook
44
00:02:11.900 --> 00:02:17.939
page for Encourage Couple and it's I-N-C-O-U-R-A-G-E. So it sounds
45
00:02:17.979 --> 00:02:21.500
like encouraging somebody, but it's Encourage Couple on Facebook. And
46
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.319
if you go on there, there's a lot of information.
47
00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:27.810
When did you start? Because I know we've spoken in
48
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.270
the past about another event that was coming up in
49
00:02:30.289 --> 00:02:32.210
the past. But how long have the two of you
50
00:02:32.229 --> 00:02:33.870
been working on this project together?
51
00:02:33.889 --> 00:02:38.379
On this specific event? About two months. Very nice.
52
00:02:38.509 --> 00:02:42.560
But the overall project, because you've been working together on
53
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.659
kind of helping couples. You've been doing that for a
54
00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:45.020
bit now.
55
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.099
We have. We've been doing that for a few years now.
56
00:02:49.099 --> 00:02:53.919
I've had a personal coaching business. And last year when
57
00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:56.900
Matt and I kind of decided to either blow up
58
00:02:56.979 --> 00:03:00.340
our marriage or... actually blow up the marriage that we
59
00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:03.539
had and either choose to have a different one or
60
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.219
not one at all. And when we did that, then
61
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.349
we decided that we were going to start working together
62
00:03:08.389 --> 00:03:11.469
because we both figured out how to do it together.
63
00:03:11.770 --> 00:03:12.250
I love that.
64
00:03:12.530 --> 00:03:15.830
And mattanddina.com is the website you can go to with
65
00:03:15.870 --> 00:03:18.509
more information. And there's stories on there and there's information
66
00:03:18.550 --> 00:03:21.310
about coaching and speaking, but also some information about this event.
67
00:03:21.789 --> 00:03:23.289
And it says on here, I like this, the most
68
00:03:23.370 --> 00:03:26.129
love you'll ever be. The most in love you'll ever
69
00:03:26.169 --> 00:03:28.090
be is waiting on the other side of the hardest
70
00:03:28.150 --> 00:03:31.530
conversation you've been avoiding. And so many times, that's.
71
00:03:31.370 --> 00:03:31.849
What it is.
72
00:03:32.490 --> 00:03:35.050
Like you're afraid to talk about something because you're

like, well,
73
00:03:35.069 --> 00:03:36.389
I don't know what the answer is going to be. Well,
74
00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:38.650
find out. That's the best way to get the answer
75
00:03:38.710 --> 00:03:39.870
is ask the question, right?
76
00:03:40.189 --> 00:03:42.610
And that's scary sometimes, really scary.
77
00:03:42.870 --> 00:03:45.990
We were married 35 years. Most of those years, we
78
00:03:46.009 --> 00:03:50.930
went through the marriage journey as either roommates or lawyers.
79
00:03:53.370 --> 00:03:56.770
And basically roommates, we just kind of avoided each other.
80
00:03:56.789 --> 00:03:59.349
But when something did come up, we each became a
81
00:03:59.389 --> 00:04:02.939
lawyer arguing our case. And we wanted a winner and
82
00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:05.520
a loser. And we both realized there are no winners
83
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.379
when you do that. You're both kind of stuck in
84
00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:13.639
that place. And we've discovered an authentic connection between the
85
00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:15.650
two of us. And it's still a work in progress,
86
00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:19.389
but it is very free and liberating to feel that
87
00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:22.870
in a long-term marriage or long-term relationship.
88
00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:26.889
Absolutely. Well, I am excited for this event. The 13th
89
00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:29.829
of November, it's Friday the 13th. And we talked ahead
90
00:04:29.870 --> 00:04:32.310
of time. There's some people that are like superstitious. I'm
91
00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:35.350
not a superstitious guy, but my wife, her favorite, like
92
00:04:35.410 --> 00:04:38.050
her lucky number is the 13th. So I think that's
93
00:04:38.069 --> 00:04:40.050
kind of fun. And I just think it's funny that
94
00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:43.009
like most people unlucky 13, my wife, of course, would
95
00:04:43.029 --> 00:04:45.879
be her lucky. But for me, the thing that's nice,
96
00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:48.939
there are people who need some assistance with this. There's
97
00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:50.879
a lot of people who need assistance with this. So
98
00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:53.220
thank you for stepping up and saying, Hey, We might
99
00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:55.180
not have all the answers, but we have some answers,
100
00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:56.980
and we want to share those and help and do
101
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.779
what we can to help others. So thank you both
102
00:04:58.819 --> 00:04:59.339
for doing that.
103
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.579
Well, thanks for having us, Sean. Thanks for giving us
104
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.449
the opportunity, and we look forward to seeing everybody there
105
00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:05.709
on Friday the 13th.
106
00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:08.629
And let's talk about how I sign up. If I
107
00:05:08.649 --> 00:05:10.370
would like to know more, do I go to the website?
108
00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:12.430
Do I call a phone number? Do I meet somebody
109
00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:14.819
in a dark alley and slip them $ 10? I'm sure
110
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.160
that's probably not it, but what is the right way?
111
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.579
to get my ticket to be a part of this
112
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:20.290
on a Friday the 13th.
113
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.579
Yeah. If you're on Facebook, go to the Facebook event
114
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.899
or go to mattanddina.com backslash events and Authentic Connection will
115
00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:31.519
be there. It is at the History Club.
116
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:31.879
It's $ 25.
117
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.259
And that would be the best way to get your
118
00:05:34.300 --> 00:05:37.550
tickets is to go on to the website and get it.
119
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.180
Very nice. And I will share a link to that
120
00:05:40.300 --> 00:05:42.899
on our Facebook page to make it easy. Matt, Dina,
121
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.699
thank you so much for your time. Thank you for
122
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.860
doing what you're doing to help others.
123
00:05:46.189 --> 00:05:47.209
Thank you. Thanks, Sean.
124
00:05:47.509 --> 00:05:48.079
Have a good day.
125
00:05:48.300 --> 00:05:50.360
Absolutely. Again, I've got a link to that to make
126
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.560
it really easy to find at Facebook.com slash Sunny Radio
127
00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:56.779
