00:00:01.441 --> 00:00:02.084
Hey, I'm John.
00:00:02.466 --> 00:00:03.048
And I'm Becky.
00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:05.628
And this is the we Are For Good podcast.
00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:14.651
Nonprofits are faced with more challenges to accomplish their missions and the growing pressure to do more, raise more and be more for the causes that improve our world.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:23.111
We're here to learn with you from some of the best in the industry, bringing the most innovative ideas, inspirational stories, all to create an impact uprising.
00:00:23.661 --> 00:00:25.091
So welcome to the good community.
00:00:25.091 --> 00:00:32.341
We're nonprofit professionals, philanthropists, world changers and rabid fans who are striving to bring a little more goodness into the world.
00:00:34.566 --> 00:00:35.368
So let's get started.
00:00:36.829 --> 00:00:37.771
Hey, John, what's up?
00:00:38.152 --> 00:00:45.966
Hey B, I mean I'm rubbing my hands together because we get to talk about one of our favorite topics today and that is leveraging modern media to scale impact.
00:00:45.966 --> 00:00:56.579
This is one of the trends that we lifted at the top of the year and it's really fun to look at it from a lot of different angles because, let's face it, friends, it is time to invest fuel and activate around our cause areas through the power of media.
00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:58.103
It's out there right now.
00:00:58.103 --> 00:01:02.433
Influence is currency, connection is currency and, you know, activation is currency.
00:01:02.433 --> 00:01:05.944
So how do we embrace that tension and release control of our message?
00:01:05.944 --> 00:01:07.852
Let it take on a different shape?
00:01:07.852 --> 00:01:11.185
By partnering with creators and those pouring into the media space.
00:01:11.185 --> 00:01:22.870
So we have compiled this panel at the virtuous responsive nonprofit summit earlier this year and we just had to replay it here because there's such rich conversation of things you can do today from some of the most brilliant minds in the sector right now.
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:34.111
I am truly pinching myself at how incredible and dynamic our panelists are, and they are truly living in the moment of how to leverage modern media to help scale their missions.
00:01:34.111 --> 00:01:36.123
Let me introduce you to our panelists.
00:01:36.123 --> 00:01:37.727
The first is Jeff Rosenblum.
00:01:37.727 --> 00:01:39.712
He is the co-founder of Questus.
00:01:39.712 --> 00:01:43.727
Our dear friend Netta Azafar she's the founder of Nazar Works.
00:01:43.727 --> 00:01:47.945
Dr Bertrude Albert you know her, she's been on the podcast several times.
00:01:47.945 --> 00:01:48.588
We adore her.
00:01:48.588 --> 00:01:51.611
She is the CEO of P4H Global over in Haiti.
00:01:51.611 --> 00:02:03.112
And then the incredible Kelly Lingard, the founder and CEO of Unshattered, an incredible dynamic organization in upstate New York working on addiction recovery.
00:02:03.112 --> 00:02:06.346
So dive into this, get some incredible pro tips.
00:02:06.346 --> 00:02:10.429
Learn how to leverage media as a way to scale your impact.
00:02:10.429 --> 00:02:11.632
We can't wait to hear your stories.
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:14.068
We got to start talking about mindsets.
00:02:14.068 --> 00:02:19.727
You know, and I think, dr B, we definitely want to kick it to you first, because I kind of named this in your intro.
00:02:19.727 --> 00:02:25.188
But I want to talk about fear, which is maybe not a natural place, but we think it's like so cool as a place to start.
00:02:25.188 --> 00:02:28.828
When we think about flexing media, let's just call the elephant in the room.
00:02:28.828 --> 00:02:33.051
A lot of us feel really uncomfortable about getting center stage about some of these topics.
00:02:33.051 --> 00:02:41.272
A lot of us work in really difficult topics, but I mean, you've overcome so much to be able to do that, not only with your own story, but with a bigger story about Haiti.
00:02:41.272 --> 00:02:48.772
Talk about how you overcame that and what are some recommendations for everybody joining today about how they can just get into the game of talking and sharing?
00:02:56.900 --> 00:02:57.200
Yeah, certainly.
00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:59.530
Again, I want to thank you all for having me, and I love this question because everything I so I work in Haiti.
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:01.276
My full-time job is training teachers in Haiti.
00:03:01.276 --> 00:03:25.086
I was just there in Haiti and I'll be there in about another two weeks, and as I was working in Haiti, I found that it was powerful, the work was moving, but the diaspora, the Haitian people that were in the United States and people that are allies of Haiti, they didn't know our story, they didn't know what was going on, and so I decided to go on social media and I was like you know what?
00:03:25.681 --> 00:03:28.247
I need to share the true story of our people.
00:03:28.247 --> 00:03:52.980
I need to share what we're doing on the ground in Haiti, but then also the history of our people, who we are, where we come from, what we've accomplished as a people, because there's just been this negative narrative about Haiti, there's been this concerted effort to just downgrade our people, and so I knew that social media was key to spreading the truth of my country, this truth of my people.
00:03:52.980 --> 00:04:02.425
And what has been very important for us is this idea that, as scary as it might be, because I was like, oh, what if I don't look good this day?
00:04:02.425 --> 00:04:03.629
What if my hair's not done well?
00:04:03.629 --> 00:04:05.153
What if, because I was like, oh, what if I don't look good this day?
00:04:05.153 --> 00:04:05.915
What if my hair's not done well?
00:04:05.915 --> 00:04:09.443
What if they don't receive what I'm saying Struggle's real, yeah.
00:04:09.443 --> 00:04:29.637
Or what if they even take me just as like the angry black woman, Like because I have so much truth that I wanna share, like there was so much fear in me going on social media and just making a video, but then I knew at the end of the day, in order for me to connect with the people I wanted to connect with, I needed to share a story and I needed to do it through social media.
00:04:29.877 --> 00:04:38.463
The last thing I'll say I mean I could spend hours, but like it's blown my mind seeing how people have taken a hold of what's happened.
00:04:38.463 --> 00:04:40.925
In just two years, my TikTok has grown to over 250,000 people.
00:04:40.925 --> 00:04:44.430
My TikTok has grown to over 250,000 people.
00:04:44.430 --> 00:04:47.752
Instagram has grown to about 100,000 people.
00:04:47.752 --> 00:04:50.336
And this is just in two short years of going on.
00:04:50.336 --> 00:04:57.043
And it's not just because I'm cute, which I'm cute, but it's not because you are.
00:04:57.043 --> 00:05:05.574
It's because people want the authenticity, they want the story they want to know and they want it to be shared with, like an open heart and with a genuine spirit.
00:05:06.415 --> 00:05:10.615
Okay, such a good tone set because we move from fear into joy.
00:05:10.615 --> 00:05:25.557
And I want to compliment you, Dr B, because when I watch your videos I feel joy and I mean you're millions of views and downloads later and people are sharing that story, and I think that's the thing that we want you to understand about modern media.
00:05:25.557 --> 00:05:29.377
It's not one and done, it's creating something that can have for the taking.
00:05:29.377 --> 00:05:55.485
What can nonprofits seize in this moment to really grab that opportunity and start to get a voice and a cadence going out in media?
00:05:56.228 --> 00:05:56.588
Yeah.
00:05:56.588 --> 00:06:00.101
So first of all, so good to see you guys, Becky and John.
00:06:00.182 --> 00:06:00.985
We've missed you.
00:06:01.668 --> 00:06:06.187
Every moment I spend with you is one of my favorite moments and you're two of the greatest people.
00:06:06.187 --> 00:06:22.295
And if I could, before I even answer your question, just say to your whole audience like congratulations and thank you and your incredible human beings for doing what you're doing as the lone capitalist working with Fortune 100s on a regular basis.
00:06:22.295 --> 00:06:37.225
What you guys are doing is so incredible and everybody wants to move the world forward and everybody thinks they kind of are, but every single person that's logged into this right now you're making the world a better place in a real, real way, and that's not the easy life decision.
00:06:37.264 --> 00:06:39.971
So on behalf of everybody else who's not doing that.
00:06:39.971 --> 00:06:49.074
I'd just like to say thank you and congratulations, and now I'm incredibly nervous because I don't know if I can bring enough value to this equation and answer your question, but I'll take a swing at it.
00:06:49.074 --> 00:07:01.572
Here's what we tell all of our clients, which is, at the end of the day, the secret sauce to all of media, all of marketing, all of creativity, all of data technology.
00:07:01.572 --> 00:07:04.795
All these things feed into the modern marketing ecosystem.
00:07:04.795 --> 00:07:08.300
All of data technology, all these things feed into the modern marketing ecosystem.
00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:10.584
It all sits successfully when it's done successfully.
00:07:10.603 --> 00:07:19.192
It all sits on a foundation of empowerment, and what that really means is, if you think about marketing and the history of marketing and some of the greatest ads ever, they're not that cool anymore.
00:07:19.192 --> 00:07:33.110
It used to be like this desperate game of getting attention and superficial messages, and when you turn on TV or YouTube pre-rolls like everyone's desperately trying to get attention, there's flow from progressive and the Geico, gecko and all that crap.
00:07:33.110 --> 00:07:40.391
Like those days are over, and particularly for your audience, because your audience is looking for something that's a lot more meaningful.
00:07:40.391 --> 00:07:50.374
So what I think that you can lean into is empowering people, giving them meaningful content, really answering their unmet needs and unmet questions.
00:07:50.374 --> 00:07:52.483
Sometimes those questions are very emotional.
00:07:52.483 --> 00:07:54.110
They need to be inspired.
00:07:54.110 --> 00:07:55.838
I don't think they need to be entertained.
00:07:55.877 --> 00:08:00.290
For some reason, in marketing, there's this legacy of entertainment that's frivolous, right.
00:08:00.290 --> 00:08:01.031
It's superficial.
00:08:01.031 --> 00:08:06.733
Like, how do we inspire people to let them know that they can be part of your organization and make a real difference?
00:08:06.733 --> 00:08:10.288
And then, ultimately, how do we give them that what we call functional messaging?
00:08:10.288 --> 00:08:12.853
Like answer all those questions that people have.
00:08:12.853 --> 00:08:22.413
Whether you're helping Haiti or any other organization, people have questions like where are my dollars going, what else can I do to help and what are the ways that we're making benefits?
00:08:22.413 --> 00:08:24.007
What are the challenges that you're facing?
00:08:24.007 --> 00:08:30.471
Like, there are tons and tons of questions, and I think Dr B's thing about being on social media is a great technique.
00:08:30.471 --> 00:08:41.966
There are many, many techniques out there, but if you always look at this lens of how do I bring value, how do I empower the audience, how do I answer questions you don't need to think about, how do I capture attention, how do I build awareness?
00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:49.961
All that stuff is overrated.
00:08:49.961 --> 00:08:51.827
Give them the information that they're looking for and it'll move your business forward.
00:08:51.827 --> 00:08:52.912
I mean y'all you brought so much value with that.
00:08:52.912 --> 00:08:53.855
Jeff, thank you for these tone setting combos.
00:08:53.855 --> 00:08:56.724
I mean I feel like we're moving past our fear here in this conversation.
00:08:56.724 --> 00:09:03.408
We hold the power here and I hope everybody here realizes that there is a powerful story and value that you're bringing to the world.
00:09:03.408 --> 00:09:04.731
So, netta, I want to kick it to you.
00:09:04.731 --> 00:09:09.240
Bust some myths for us.
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.511
My friend, we've heard from nonprofits that think leveraging media and I'm not just talking about social media, it's, you know, it's not enough.
00:09:13.511 --> 00:09:17.063
How can we reorient our mindset that this is for them?
00:09:17.063 --> 00:09:20.167
You know it's, it's an opportunity that all of us can really pour into.
00:10:11.218 --> 00:10:25.134
Yeah, um, thank you also for for having me, and I love the hype, so I really appreciate it and I do feel what Jeff feels, where it's like I'm not really one of the good ones, I just kind of work here, but you all do all the good stuff.
00:10:25.155 --> 00:10:26.237
You both are so good.
00:10:26.237 --> 00:11:18.276
I definitely feel that way, so I would say the thing I noticed the myth I want to bust for people is I don't know if people consciously think this, but you can see it play out in the way nonprofits set up their media mix and where they allocate disproportionately and where they don't, and I think that that, to me, is maybe a result of fear, maybe it's a result of well, this is what I have control over, or this comes from this budget.
00:11:18.276 --> 00:12:09.318
So, whatever reason it's happening, though, it's to the detriment of the whole thing, because we're trying to use things that were designed to have certain impacts and we're trying to use them to to do something else, and then it's not working, and we're not exactly sure why, and I think that the fact that a lot of times, we even we think that this is possible to do, like, if I just really build up my socials, you know, and my web content and my website, then you know my, my own channels, I'll have, I'll have, I'll have the success that I want Right Years ago, it was like the myth of an ad campaign how, how, doing a big campaign for a non nonprofit was going to make their year, and then and then it wouldn't and people would be disappointed.
00:12:09.318 --> 00:12:14.116
And then they were like you know well, it was the campaign and it was the message, but it wasn't.
00:12:14.116 --> 00:12:15.218
It was that.
00:12:15.218 --> 00:12:16.180
It was that.
00:12:16.180 --> 00:12:17.924
That's just one media type, right.
00:12:17.924 --> 00:12:21.801
So just kind of like breaking it down very simple because you told me to do that, becky, in the prep.
00:12:23.171 --> 00:12:27.823
It's like you know, think of like paid, owned, earned, right.
00:12:27.823 --> 00:12:30.358
So you're owned is your website, your social, your channels.
00:12:30.358 --> 00:12:31.381
You got full control.
00:12:31.381 --> 00:12:41.955
That's where you go very deep and you can present the message however you need to present it and give people all the information that you think that they need to have with the flow.
00:12:41.955 --> 00:12:59.942
But the problem is, if all you're doing is over-investing there, audiences are not getting that communication with you unless they're already in communication with you, so you're not really reaching new people too much, and growing your pool Paid helps with that.
00:12:59.942 --> 00:13:04.138
That's where you're doing ads to like intercept people where they are.
00:13:04.138 --> 00:13:08.991
You still have a good amount of control, but it has to be pretty short, right.
00:13:08.991 --> 00:13:15.704
So you have to summarize and then use the paid to get people to your channels where you can go deeper and earned.
00:13:15.704 --> 00:13:19.021
This is like the sweet spot, right.
00:13:19.021 --> 00:13:25.738
It's really special because there's still an interception that's happening, but it's not you, the brand, right.
00:13:25.798 --> 00:13:33.037
So it's maybe it's a journalist, I think today, you know people, people, I don't't think this.
00:13:33.037 --> 00:13:37.185
A fact is that people trust influencers today more than they trust journalists.
00:13:37.185 --> 00:14:03.598
I don't like that, but that is true, right, and so to me, when I think of earned, I would say think of word of mouth and peer to peer and PR and and influencers in this, and that is really effective at reaching people, but it's really effective at opinion formation, right, and credibility and building trust.
00:14:03.598 --> 00:14:15.511
And so you know, with that breakdown, I would say, for nonprofits, the idea that you can just do one of these things really really well and get where you need to get, it's never going to work.
00:14:15.511 --> 00:14:21.085
And the fact that it's not working is not because you need to re.
00:14:21.085 --> 00:14:26.039
You know you need to hire a new content editor or or rethink your social.
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.863
You know your social posts.
00:14:27.863 --> 00:14:29.972
You may need to.
00:14:29.972 --> 00:14:34.858
I don't, I don't know, but it's probably because you're not thinking about the whole thing, right.
00:14:34.938 --> 00:14:36.020
And you need.
00:14:36.020 --> 00:14:47.743
If you've got goals that range from I want issue awareness to you know I want member engagement, I want donors, then you need that like whole funnel.
00:14:47.743 --> 00:15:04.174
You know that marketing funnel I don't know if how much you're familiar right Like you need that whole funnel approach where you're using different types of media, the appropriate types of media in the appropriate ways that are aligned to your different kpis along that funnel.
00:15:04.174 --> 00:15:13.159
So that's my thing that I want people to like really get is to come out of your fear and come out of what you know you've done in the past.
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:23.081
Come out of your fear and come out of what you've done in the past, come out of that one little niche area of marketing and media and think about the whole thing.
00:15:24.043 --> 00:15:29.609
Okay, I got to give you some validation, some affirmation, because you nailed this and I think that that was so good.
00:15:29.609 --> 00:15:34.297
And I'm so glad you brought up the creator economy because, whether you're in it or not, it's here.
00:15:34.297 --> 00:15:39.425
It is going to be a $1 trillion business by 2027.
00:15:39.425 --> 00:15:44.042
And I think what a lot of people miss is that these are communities.
00:15:44.042 --> 00:15:48.600
These are trusted influencers, content creators I mean, I'm looking at Dr B.
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:57.335
That is a trusted content creator and human who has built her own community, which means it's going to be a plus one because it's an amplifier.
00:15:57.335 --> 00:16:01.213
It's going to get you into spaces that other people can't get you in.
00:16:01.213 --> 00:16:05.934
You can't get on yourself, and so I want to help people who are listening figure out how to start.
00:16:06.014 --> 00:16:09.763
I want to go through some case studies and, kelly, I'm so dang proud of you.
00:16:09.763 --> 00:16:15.377
I remember in December I get this email from Kelly and she's like hey, I'm going on Kelly Clarkson next week.
00:16:15.377 --> 00:16:15.998
Can we chat?
00:16:15.998 --> 00:16:35.980
And I was just heart bursting because I think what you have done to one go from this be this physicist and to being a nonprofit leader who is literally taking on addiction in this entirely new way based around community, but you're flexing media in such brilliant ways.
00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:43.642
So talk about how you're taking the Unshattered story you know out into the world and how you're getting that amplification.
00:16:44.250 --> 00:16:48.442
Yeah Well, first, I'm so grateful to be here and so grateful for all of your coaching and advice.
00:16:48.442 --> 00:16:53.762
We wouldn't be doing this well if we didn't have you and places like yours helping us shape this.
00:16:53.762 --> 00:17:01.295
And you know, I coming from a corporate world right, I had some media training about what it means to be on a stage, but not how to access it.
00:17:01.295 --> 00:17:07.233
So we've just been really scrappy about where can we get resources that we don't have to pay for.
00:17:07.233 --> 00:17:11.163
One of the best places to do that is local colleges and universities.
00:17:11.163 --> 00:17:14.419
So we partner with Marist College that is near us.
00:17:14.419 --> 00:17:17.675
They have a whole PR department that is student led.
00:17:17.675 --> 00:17:18.959
They do great work for us.
00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:20.342
We do some interns.
00:17:20.342 --> 00:17:21.313
That's a great avenue.
00:17:21.673 --> 00:17:26.653
I think one life changing, organization changing moment was on the heels of the pandemic.
00:17:26.653 --> 00:17:32.375
Up until that point, most of our sales were face to face and, of course, that was all shut down.
00:17:32.375 --> 00:17:33.804
So we pivoted.
00:17:33.804 --> 00:17:36.032
We ended up making masks when that was a new thing.
00:17:36.032 --> 00:17:46.055
That seems ridiculous now, but I knew that media was the only way to survive, and so I just started making phone calls to people in the network and that landed us on NBC nightly news with Lester Holtz.
00:17:46.375 --> 00:17:57.750
Cbs news came to us and did the story Fox news, huffington post, knowing that we had something amazing to tell and empowering somebody else to tell it on our behalf.
00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:03.951
So I have just found that if you have a good story, you make it clear it resonates with people.
00:18:03.951 --> 00:18:05.974
You give them the language to share it.
00:18:05.974 --> 00:18:06.635
They will.
00:18:06.635 --> 00:18:11.509
And so back to the working with Marist College.
00:18:11.509 --> 00:18:16.348
It was actually one of our former interns through that program that's now a producer on the Kelly Clarkson Show.
00:18:16.348 --> 00:18:17.152
That landed us there.
00:18:17.152 --> 00:18:24.733
So it's relationships, pathways, empowering people to have a voice and being very clear about your messaging For us.
00:18:24.733 --> 00:18:43.327
As we talk about ending the addiction relapse cycle, we call everybody, from an individual customer to people like you who are speaking on our behalf, ambassadors of possibility, and so crafting that identity for people when they do something like share, the word for us has been really, really powerful in the market.
00:18:43.669 --> 00:18:50.788
You are slaying it yeah, totally slaying it, and seriously go check out the site and meet some of the women and the stories behind this movement.
00:18:50.788 --> 00:18:53.413
Dr B, we like Joy's a vibe.
00:18:53.413 --> 00:18:54.957
We love watching you soar.
00:18:54.957 --> 00:18:58.048
The last two to three years have been incredible to watch your journey.
00:18:58.048 --> 00:19:03.410
What's some pro tips from your vantage point, as you've had openings to stages and new doors?
00:19:03.410 --> 00:19:06.064
Kind of talk us through pro tips of what you've learned along the way.
00:19:06.965 --> 00:19:12.593
Yeah, certainly, and even before I could do that, could I jump on the idea of fear for a second?
00:19:12.593 --> 00:19:15.217
Keep going, preach, get in that pulpit.
00:19:15.217 --> 00:19:17.945
Okay, I'm ready, let's go, okay.
00:19:17.945 --> 00:19:22.456
So when we're thinking about fear, I think that it's a really powerful and beautiful thing.
00:19:22.456 --> 00:19:34.716
It's part of our humanity and in this work, a lot of times whether we're trying to do work on media or even our work with our nonprofits or trying to do good in the world fear might try to get in the way.
00:19:34.716 --> 00:19:41.857
But I think that fear is, it could be a really good thing, because it tells us that what we're facing is important.
00:19:41.857 --> 00:19:50.974
There's something that's very valuable, something that's really big and just so important in front of us, and so I think that fear can be a good thing.
00:19:50.974 --> 00:19:56.881
But courage is always a good thing, because courage is mastery of the fear.
00:19:56.881 --> 00:20:10.749
Courage is saying like, despite what's in front of me, despite the physical reaction that my body is having, there is something bigger and better ahead of me, and so I'm going to overcome and I'm going to master these emotions.
00:20:10.749 --> 00:20:25.479
So, yeah, I just want to embrace that fear because it's part of our humanity and it could make us be on our game, like it could make us be sharper and more refined and ready to do the good that we're all here on this earth to do.
00:20:25.479 --> 00:20:45.057
And so my advice, or, like my, the tip that I've learned, I guess, in light of, like, this entire talk and using media to leverage our impact, I think that every day, I'm trying to become a better storyteller.
00:20:45.317 --> 00:20:53.748
I think we've all talked about, like, the importance of stories and it's all important because storytelling it connects.
00:20:53.748 --> 00:20:56.876
It's this humanity, it connects us to another human.
00:20:56.876 --> 00:21:01.400
Stories are what our ancestors used as a Haitian and all over the world.
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:06.793
It's what our ancestors used to pass on values, to pass on knowledge and understanding.
00:21:06.793 --> 00:21:11.889
Stories are what connects us to our past, it's what propels us to our future.
00:21:11.889 --> 00:21:33.088
It's what connects humans together and, like the better we get at storytelling and conveying messages and connecting to that beautiful soul that each person on this earth has, like, it enables us to further our mission and it brings out the humanity in each of us and hopefully it'll inspire.
00:21:33.088 --> 00:21:37.075
Like, hopefully, somebody that's listening today will be like man, jeff, what you said there.
00:21:37.075 --> 00:21:38.457
Ooh, how you told that story.
00:21:38.457 --> 00:21:39.298
I love it.
00:21:39.298 --> 00:21:40.947
Let me go change the world, oh.
00:21:41.009 --> 00:21:43.395
Kelly yeah.
00:21:43.495 --> 00:21:51.937
Like I, I think that, storytelling it in summary, it connects our humanity and then it also it inspires us to keep on changing lives.
00:21:53.226 --> 00:21:58.451
Oh, I mean, this is why Dr B is the great joy giver, because she can integrate that in.
00:21:58.451 --> 00:22:06.752
And I have to give Jeff a shout out, because the first five minutes that we met him on the podcast we learned all about his mafia family and it was just such an interesting story.
00:22:06.772 --> 00:22:13.309
You learned it with a knife, Julie please drop that in the chat, because I want everybody to fall in love with Jeff in the way that we did too.
00:22:13.309 --> 00:22:22.201
But I think that you know getting started, getting that courage and channeling it, recognizing it and taking that first step is so important.
00:22:22.201 --> 00:22:26.296
And I have to give a shout out to Natalie in the chat, who is also on the Kelly Clarkson show.
00:22:26.296 --> 00:22:33.356
She has dropped her media in there and I want to say to anybody out there, if you have media that you are proud of, drop it in the link.
00:22:33.356 --> 00:22:34.628
We want to celebrate it.
00:22:34.628 --> 00:22:39.923
We want to give people examples of what you have done, how you've approached this, how you took it on.
00:22:39.923 --> 00:22:43.472
It could be with an influencer, it could be with a reporter, it could be with local.
00:22:43.472 --> 00:22:44.756
Put it in the chat.
00:22:44.756 --> 00:22:46.266
We want to see examples of this.
00:22:46.346 --> 00:22:49.910
But I want to help people who are saying how the heck do I get started?
00:22:49.910 --> 00:22:54.216
So I want to kick it to you, netta, because you walk nonprofits through this so beautifully.
00:22:54.216 --> 00:22:56.500
I love, love, loved your Aleema campaign.
00:22:56.500 --> 00:23:04.072
In fact, your Aleema campaign and Unchattered made it into my philanthropy giving things last year because I love both those projects so much.
00:23:04.072 --> 00:23:06.886
But I also want you to kind of talk about.
00:23:06.886 --> 00:23:11.058
You know how do we begin when we have limited staff sizes?
00:23:11.058 --> 00:23:13.769
We have maybe no budget for this.
00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:16.925
Hello, this is the reality of working in the nonprofit sector.
00:23:16.925 --> 00:23:18.589
How can somebody start?
00:23:19.311 --> 00:23:26.216
I think that if you are a small nonprofit, you're kind of thinking I don't have budget for this and I don't have the resources.
00:23:26.216 --> 00:23:28.528
You're right, that's a challenge.
00:23:28.528 --> 00:23:44.446
But I think you're actually better positioned to do some of the things that you all talk about than a large nonprofit, because you know you actually truly have that ability to know your supporters and know your audience.
00:23:44.446 --> 00:23:48.495
Um, because they're not that big, right, and you want them to be bigger.
00:23:48.495 --> 00:23:54.668
But, like, you actually can know them and I think that would be where I start.
00:23:54.668 --> 00:23:57.029
That would definitely be where I start.
00:23:57.109 --> 00:24:07.476
A lot of times I see, you know people come out of, they read a benchmark report or they'll watch a summit and they've got this list of all these.
00:24:07.476 --> 00:24:21.493
I need to do this sort of onboarding and it's good and do it and and learn from other marketers and and be the best marketer you can be.
00:24:21.493 --> 00:24:54.456
But my fear is that you know, as a marketer, then, like, you get so stuck in being a marketer and you spend so much energy and coding messages and delivering messages and tracking and reporting that you forget to even spend that time to like think about the audience response you know and how they are receiving those messages, not what channel are they receiving it from, but like what life context, you know, are they receiving it from and how are they, how are they receiving it from?
00:24:54.456 --> 00:25:00.696
But like what life context, you know, are they receiving it from and how are they, how are they feeling about it and what's, what's it stirring up in them.
00:25:00.696 --> 00:25:18.564
That, to me is is the most important thing and that is where I would say, as a small nonprofit, take heart, spend the time, you know, do all the cool technology stuff, but don't have it replace the relationship.
00:25:19.605 --> 00:25:29.198
You know, have an automated welcome series, have an automated thank you, but don't stop talking to your supporters.
00:25:29.198 --> 00:25:33.048
You know and knowing them Right, and you want to start to.
00:25:33.048 --> 00:25:36.856
Since your community is small, that's perfect.
00:25:36.856 --> 00:25:39.510
You don't need to do a huge survey.
00:25:39.510 --> 00:25:42.038
You know, and do all that stuff.
00:25:42.038 --> 00:25:51.278
The organizations that do that, it's because they're huge and they don't know why, and then they don't know what's going on, right.
00:25:51.278 --> 00:26:00.200
But when you're smaller, just start and sketch out a picture that goes with the name and the email address.
00:26:01.085 --> 00:26:09.436
And as important as it is to ask people why they supported you and which of your programs they're most passionate about.
00:26:09.436 --> 00:26:11.980
Ask them who else supported in the past.
00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:17.498
Find out you know what inputs are, you know, coming into their lives.
00:26:17.498 --> 00:26:19.790
Where do they get information from you?
00:26:19.790 --> 00:26:21.695
Can you can have your social person.
00:26:21.695 --> 00:26:22.317
This is a tip.
00:26:22.317 --> 00:26:54.071
Go into the profiles of your followers and find out who they're following and you're going to get so much good insight from that to really round out these people in your community and then you can start to develop personas and theories and you can test them out and you'll know, as you're growing, why you're growing, where you're getting traction with whom, where you know where you're having, like, what kind of people are dropping off and why.
00:26:54.071 --> 00:27:07.592
And you can figure all that stuff out so that when you're huge and you're doing your ad campaign and you're doing the influencer stuff, you kind of know you already know what's going to appeal to people.
00:27:07.592 --> 00:27:10.393
You know what you're trying to get from them.
00:27:10.404 --> 00:27:14.841
And I want to say this other thing, just for the smalls okay.
00:27:14.841 --> 00:27:31.019
And I want to say this other thing, just for the smalls OK, your power as a marketer is not in it, it's not about the technology that you have or your ability to be on trend, you know and put together this perfect strategy.
00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:33.147
We're marketing people.
00:27:33.147 --> 00:27:50.797
Our power is our ability to know people right and to talk to them and kind of know intuitively what they're thinking and how they're feeling and to know how to adjust right To get them to think and feel differently.
00:27:50.797 --> 00:27:58.534
And so you never want to get so lost in the channel and the medium and the tactic that you kind of forget that.
00:27:58.534 --> 00:28:00.278
Do you know what I mean?
00:28:00.278 --> 00:28:01.178
Does that kind of make sense?
00:28:10.012 --> 00:28:14.317
A hundred percent in tune with and in community with, we can build together instead of for, like.
00:28:14.317 --> 00:28:16.499
It's so much of a better way to show up.
00:28:16.499 --> 00:28:18.580
Okay, this is so good.
00:28:18.580 --> 00:28:19.801
We've got about 15 minutes left.
00:28:19.801 --> 00:28:22.028
I want to talk about really turning up the heat.
00:28:22.028 --> 00:28:24.434
Innovating, trying new things.
00:28:24.434 --> 00:28:27.129
We call it trying stuff, which is one of our mantras around.
00:28:27.129 --> 00:28:27.550
We are for good.
00:28:27.550 --> 00:28:30.165
We're going to end up with a tattoo on it on our arm at some point, probably.
00:28:30.165 --> 00:28:39.354
But, jeff, okay, you've come in and taught us this phrase that we love so much to empower, not interrupt and I think that you know you've already said this once, but I want you to break it down.
00:28:39.354 --> 00:28:48.141
How can we kind of implement this through our storytelling, through how we gather community and really how we seriously build solid content that lives on and on?
00:28:58.544 --> 00:29:02.377
I'll answer that through the lens of a couple of points that were made by Kelly and by Dr B, who actually circled around this point in two different directions.
00:29:02.377 --> 00:29:14.888
But I think what Kelly said is you know, stand for one thing, have one key message and you have to realize from a macro perspective, there's 500,000 brands around the world all desperately seeking the attention of your audience around the world, all desperately seeking the attention of your audience.
00:29:14.888 --> 00:29:20.711
The typical person you may have seen this data sees 5,000 branded messages every single day.
00:29:20.711 --> 00:29:21.811
We ran a study on this.
00:29:21.811 --> 00:29:25.973
That's a branded message every 2.7 seconds that you're awake.
00:29:26.053 --> 00:29:28.474
When you're on social media flipping.
00:29:28.615 --> 00:29:33.756
It's one every 2.1 seconds and all of the data shows that these numbers may be doubling.
00:29:33.756 --> 00:29:37.218
It's more than the human brain could ever possibly handle.
00:29:37.218 --> 00:29:42.520
So the whole key to is have one key point, have one key message.
00:29:42.520 --> 00:29:45.581
There's going to be different flavors and different variations To Ned's point.
00:29:45.581 --> 00:29:59.012
You're going to pull people through the funnel with different techniques and whatnot, but you have to have this one key point because if you're all over the map, you're literally going to be invisible, and that's the secret sauce.
00:29:59.032 --> 00:30:02.179
If you look at, like Procter and Gamble as an example, or Coca-Cola, some of these guys Procter and Gamble is a great one.
00:30:02.179 --> 00:30:08.995
They own 17 different brands that are each worth a billion dollars, not their revenue, just the logo alone.
00:30:08.995 --> 00:30:11.099
A billion dollars, just a logo.
00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:16.136
Right, and the reason, the way that they do it is stand for one thing.
00:30:16.136 --> 00:30:33.857
Now, if you take that and you transpose that over to what Dr B was talking about, which is learn how to tell great stories, it's probably the single most powerful force in the world of business, in nonprofits or anything right now, because you can get all the information that you need through artificial intelligence and technology.
00:30:33.857 --> 00:30:35.947
But the truth of the matter is, with storytelling.
00:30:35.947 --> 00:30:50.634
I think anyone who sees Dr B telling a story, it's like whoa, you are way gifted in this world, like you can tell a story and a lot of people can do incredible things, but they're not going to be able to tell a story like that and it becomes pretty scary.
00:30:50.634 --> 00:30:56.933
And what I've learned is for those folks who maybe don't have that gift or it doesn't come naturally to them.
00:30:57.355 --> 00:31:06.498
Telling a great story is not about what you say, it's about what you don't say, in particular in business, meaning everybody's suffering from information overload.
00:31:06.498 --> 00:31:13.217
So if you can strip out all of that extraneous information and get to Kelly's point, what is it that you do?
00:31:13.217 --> 00:31:17.034
Why is this so important and how can you help this audience?
00:31:17.034 --> 00:31:18.730
Like that's the key to it.
00:31:18.730 --> 00:31:19.634
So you strip it all away.
00:31:19.634 --> 00:31:25.464
If you can get to the point of being a great storyteller a dark and stormy night, capture people's attention that's lovely.
00:31:25.464 --> 00:31:33.290
But when you're doing it, scale and trying to grow your organization, do the hard, hard tone and trust me on this one, it's so much harder than it sounds.
00:31:33.290 --> 00:31:40.798
Get your story down to a very short paragraph, like two to three sentences, and you'll be shocked how hard that is to do.
00:31:40.798 --> 00:31:41.817
When you start.
00:31:41.817 --> 00:31:43.399
You're like what's my organization all about?
00:31:43.399 --> 00:31:51.467
You're like this multiple pages, boom, boom, boom, edit it and get it down, so everything is reading off that same super short brief.
00:31:51.528 --> 00:31:57.038
Get into chat GPT, put all of those paragraphs and tell chat GPT to get it down to three paragraphs and make sure they're human.
00:31:57.038 --> 00:31:58.891
You are so good at this.
00:31:59.566 --> 00:32:00.932
You're very good for the ego.
00:32:00.932 --> 00:32:04.855
Let me tell you, wherever I go in the rest of my world, it's not in the music.
00:32:05.066 --> 00:32:06.351
Every dang time.
00:32:06.351 --> 00:32:19.531
We are your hype squad and you out there, we are your hype squad as well, and I really appreciate just grounding how important the story is, because when people can see themselves in that story, something really magical happens.
00:32:19.531 --> 00:32:27.806
And when you take them through that experience, then it's not just Ariana Grande retweeted our tweet and we brought you know 5,000 new people in.
00:32:27.806 --> 00:32:29.870
They need to have an experience when they're here.
00:32:29.870 --> 00:32:32.096
They need to understand why they are here.
00:32:32.096 --> 00:32:39.734
Spencer, I want to validate your question here in the chat about what can we do if we only have one or two stories for the entire year.
00:32:39.734 --> 00:32:47.006
I thought Natalie gave you great sound advice, because storytelling is about connection and so source that story from your community.
00:32:47.006 --> 00:32:49.475
They've got incredible stories to tell.
00:32:49.475 --> 00:32:56.894
You're going to get cognitive diversity, because different lived experiences and stories and voices are going to be coming into that and guess what?
00:32:56.894 --> 00:32:58.716
Then your community feels empowered.
00:32:58.716 --> 00:33:00.039
Back to Jeff Rosenblum.
00:33:00.224 --> 00:33:04.056
I just want to quote all you guys all the time, but I want to talk about Kelly.
00:33:04.056 --> 00:33:10.462
I want to kick it to you because I just think Unshattered Story is so powerful, it is so succinct.
00:33:10.462 --> 00:33:21.880
Please listen to Kelly's episode on the podcast, because we cried when she was talking about Kintsugi, and these women in this community are literally putting a prayer or a wish into these bags.
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.290
They sew them into the bags.
00:33:23.290 --> 00:33:27.712
There is a story within the bag, and I want to hear about your dreams.
00:33:27.712 --> 00:33:34.724
I want to hear about where you want to take media's impact, how you want it to, sort of light up Unshattered.
00:33:34.724 --> 00:33:36.970
What are you looking forward to in the future?
00:33:37.912 --> 00:34:01.779
Yeah, you know, the genesis of the story is that I used to be the person who thought that people that struggled with addiction just needed to get their act together, be more responsible, get a job, until I met somebody who was in recovery who had started at eight years old Average first use on my team is about 10 years old and I had no idea that addiction is actually a story of pain, not a story of substance.
00:34:01.779 --> 00:34:09.358
But when you can give women purpose, safe, community, something meaningful that they can contribute, they are going to thrive.
00:34:09.358 --> 00:34:14.296
We just had our second one who was named a 40 under 40 business leader for the Hudson Valley.
00:34:14.296 --> 00:34:19.106
Yes, june we will celebrate eight years.
00:34:19.106 --> 00:34:30.246
We've had one single relapse for our employee base and this summer we will hit the milestone of having put $2 million in wages into the hands of women in recovery since our genesis.
00:34:30.246 --> 00:34:36.199
So we say recovery when you give the conditions is not just possible, it's probable.
00:34:36.545 --> 00:34:43.273
And my dream is to be able to change the narrative around what addiction is and how we are all affected by it.
00:34:43.273 --> 00:34:45.362
Maybe for us it's not a substance.
00:34:45.362 --> 00:34:47.922
We can change the narrative around it.
00:34:47.922 --> 00:35:01.768
Get rid of the shame, invest in people and really raise them up to thrive at their highest capacity because of the most creative, most tenacious, most loyal, most hardworking group of people I have ever had the pleasure of being with.
00:35:01.768 --> 00:35:13.361
I think a really interesting opportunity for us is that often when I do events like these, the sort of highest level professionals will come to me quietly afterwards and say me too.
00:35:13.762 --> 00:35:14.544
I struggled too.
00:35:14.544 --> 00:35:17.057
However, many years ago I had this issue.
00:35:17.057 --> 00:35:19.526
I've never really spoken about that publicly.
00:35:19.526 --> 00:35:30.856
I would love to be hosting conversations with top tier individuals who have a history of addiction, who are now ambassadors of possibility doing amazing things in the world.
00:35:30.856 --> 00:35:33.623
To say that was not the end of my story.
00:35:33.623 --> 00:35:42.238
That was me dealing with pain, but when I was able to handle it in the right way, with the right support, it was the same tenacity and strength.
00:35:42.238 --> 00:35:45.747
That brokenness is the very thing that now makes my story beautiful.
00:35:47.016 --> 00:35:51.047
Come for the media, stay for the humanity right.
00:35:51.416 --> 00:35:54.530
I know we have to like keep this applause track with us wherever we go.
00:35:54.530 --> 00:35:56.557
I just like always want to play it on the podcast.
00:35:56.557 --> 00:36:01.158
I mean y'all, I'm kind of grieving looking at our clock because we have about seven minutes left.
00:36:01.158 --> 00:36:15.461
Each of you has such a story and such a I don't know pulse on the community, what we need to hear in this moment, and so I want to kick you a one good thing and ask you to just say you've seen the chat, you've seen the love you're in this moment.
00:36:15.461 --> 00:36:19.844
What do you want to share as kind of a takeaway with the one good thing for those listening today?
00:36:19.844 --> 00:36:25.361
We've got nonprofit leaders that have a narrative to rewrite in a lot of cases, or a story to step into or to own.
00:36:25.361 --> 00:36:28.187
What would you share as a one good thing, jeff?
00:36:28.187 --> 00:36:29.269
I'll start with you, my friend.
00:36:30.195 --> 00:36:35.367
That's interesting because it became clear as crystal as I was listening to that story.
00:36:36.316 --> 00:36:53.922
The one thing that I would share because I think there's a lot of entrepreneurs that are on this call that I pass along to all my friends that are starting a business or running an organization which is when you were brought to your knees not figuratively, literally.
00:36:54.082 --> 00:37:07.739
You're on your knees and you're crying because whatever you're doing just isn't working and you think you're screwing up whatever campaign, whatever initiative, maybe your entire business.
00:37:07.739 --> 00:37:17.248
That is the moment where you're doing the right thing and what happens is most people at that moment they're done and they can't get back up.
00:37:17.248 --> 00:37:33.363
And I've learned this just because I've done a lot of entrepreneurial endeavors and all the good ones where I've had success, I've literally been brought to my knees, crying literal tears, like the real stuff coming out your eyes.
00:37:33.363 --> 00:37:38.140
And if you can get up off the mat, that's where the amazing stuff happens.
00:37:38.140 --> 00:37:47.263
So I know we're here to talk about marketing, but I think everyone here is trying to build something and if you find yourself at that point, know you're in the right place and just keep going.
00:37:47.263 --> 00:37:48.466
Don't give up at that moment.
00:37:49.075 --> 00:37:50.259
Netta, I'll kick it to you next.
00:37:50.259 --> 00:37:51.323
What's your one good thing?
00:37:52.095 --> 00:38:00.884
I'm going to focus on mindsets, because I think that for all the people who are here, they probably have a mindset where they're trying to learn and grow.
00:38:00.884 --> 00:38:04.338
But we know in marketing you can't do it on your own.
00:38:04.338 --> 00:38:08.006
You need the other people to also have that same energy.
00:38:08.006 --> 00:38:26.163
So they have to see the opportunities you see and the gaps you see, and so my one good thing is to incorporate the practice of bringing people along with you and so, as you're learning things, make sure that you're sharing that with people along the way.
00:38:26.263 --> 00:38:30.175
Don't just go in with the idea you know or the thing, right.
00:38:30.175 --> 00:38:41.897
And so sometimes it can happen really quick, like you just tell people like hey, let's focus on this, and you just focus everyone's eyes to an area and then they're like oh, yeah, our auction, boom, yeah, okay, okay, we got to do this.
00:38:41.897 --> 00:38:51.514
And other times, you know, if you've been doing it for a while, you've, you've, it's been where you're like let's focus on this, and other people look at it and they don't see what you see.
00:38:51.514 --> 00:38:53.838
And so you're like how do you not see?
00:38:53.838 --> 00:38:56.022
This is a problem, right?
00:38:56.022 --> 00:39:02.640
And so that's where I think you, as the marketer, it can be frustrating for all the people on this call.
00:39:02.660 --> 00:39:07.688
You're going to have all your energy and your ideas, but at the end of the day, you're in marketing.
00:39:07.688 --> 00:39:09.269
You can't do anything by yourself.
00:39:09.269 --> 00:39:11.019
You need other people with you.
00:39:11.019 --> 00:39:13.486
So you might as well just build it into your workflow.
00:39:13.486 --> 00:39:40.590
And I have been in some very failure fearing places hostile, you know, and we don't want to change and I feel like that energy is completely undermined when you have an open-handed approach where you're sharing information, sharing your thought process and you're open to learning yourself and people can see that in you.
00:39:40.590 --> 00:39:42.972
So that's my practice.
00:39:43.975 --> 00:39:45.256
Kelly kicking it to you, kelly kicking it to you.
00:39:45.876 --> 00:39:52.163
I mean first of all Dr B Netta, Jeff Don, Becky I'm like furiously taking notes over here from everybody.
00:39:52.163 --> 00:39:55.206
So thank you for everything that you guys have shared Amazing.
00:39:55.206 --> 00:39:56.827
And I think I would just reflect back.
00:39:56.827 --> 00:40:01.751
Becky, you mentioned kintsugi, which is we have three secrets in every one of our bags.
00:40:01.751 --> 00:40:13.318
One is the secret message.
00:40:13.318 --> 00:40:15.207
Another one is that there's a gold seam in every bag, which is a nod to the Japanese art form of kintsugi.
00:40:15.207 --> 00:40:16.742
When pottery was broken, they would use gold in the cracks to put it back together.
00:40:16.742 --> 00:40:19.332
So beautiful that it became a form of art, and that term loosely means more beautiful for having been broken.
00:40:19.332 --> 00:40:33.403
And so, just remembering, for all of us, there was a moment when life cracked us, but the way that those pieces came back together, those scars, remind us how strong that we are and can be our beauty and our superpower.
00:40:33.403 --> 00:40:40.137
So see that as your strength, make that part of your story, lean in and be an ambassador for others to help them embrace that part of themselves.
00:40:40.859 --> 00:40:44.527
Okay, we're going to have to wheel us off the stage, julie, sorry about this.
00:40:44.527 --> 00:40:47.316
Bring us home my friend First and foremost, john Becky.
00:40:47.336 --> 00:40:48.376
I love you, julie, with about this.
00:40:48.376 --> 00:40:50.719
Bring us home my friend, first and foremost, john Becky.
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.161
I love you, julie, with all of my heart.
00:40:53.161 --> 00:40:55.103
Thank you for making me a better human.
00:40:55.103 --> 00:40:57.664
Thank you for making all of us better humans.
00:40:57.664 --> 00:41:13.663
And Kelly, as you mentioned, kelly, jeff, neda I thank you three for the inspiration that you are to me today and, finally, for every person that is listening, thank you for making this world a better place.
00:41:13.663 --> 00:41:26.525
Thank you for giving your heart, your passion, your life to nonprofit organizations, to other types of businesses and organizations that are going to make this world a better place for the future generation, for our children, our children's children's children.
00:41:27.046 --> 00:41:30.581
And for those of you who might feel like Michelle Michelle wrote in the chat.
00:41:30.581 --> 00:41:46.940
She said I'm so burned out and feel at a crossroads I want to encourage everybody here to, first and foremost, take care of yourself, because it's not it doesn't matter how fast we go, it matters how far we go, and if we don't take care of ourselves, we won't be able to go that far.
00:41:46.940 --> 00:41:51.209
Mental, emotional, spiritual, physical health is so important.
00:41:51.209 --> 00:42:19.705
But also, I want to encourage you all that you are powerful, you are incredible, you are seen, you are loved, you are needed in this world and when you think about the person that inspires you the most MLK, nelson Mandela, all these other incredible people you are standing on their shoulders and you are able to do far greater than what they were able to do, because you have their inspiration and you've got all forms of media.
00:42:19.705 --> 00:42:27.181
Make sure that you take care of yourself and know that you're changing this world and you're making it the world that we all have hoped and prayed for.
00:42:27.883 --> 00:42:28.505
You guys.
00:42:28.505 --> 00:42:36.539
Thank you for the strategy, thank you for the tactics, thank you for the mindsets, thank you for the love, thank you for the community.
00:42:36.539 --> 00:42:38.385
We are overjoyed.
00:42:38.385 --> 00:42:39.710
We are ready to get out there.
00:42:39.710 --> 00:42:42.939
I hope we've broken through the wall of fear.
00:42:42.939 --> 00:42:46.588
If you feel any about this modern media, love yourself first.
00:42:46.588 --> 00:42:47.719
That's my one good thing.
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:54.657
Love yourself, believe in your story.
00:42:54.657 --> 00:42:56.265
We are waiting and we're going to be watching your media play out.
00:42:56.265 --> 00:42:56.747
Tag us when you have it.
00:42:56.747 --> 00:42:57.169
Tag we Are For Good.
00:42:57.169 --> 00:42:57.611
We want to see it.
00:42:57.611 --> 00:43:00.220
And right now I just want to thank all of our panelists for what you do in the world.
00:43:00.220 --> 00:43:02.105
Thank you for your joy, your humanity.
00:43:02.105 --> 00:43:11.322
Please go follow them on LinkedIn, if our panelists, if you have that at the access, please drop it in the chat so people can come follow you and y'all go do great work.
00:43:11.322 --> 00:43:17.086
We're going to see you on the main stage, so head over to main stage and we are going to close out today with a bang.
00:43:17.086 --> 00:43:19.260
So thank you, guys, and keep going.
00:43:19.260 --> 00:43:19.961
You've got this.
00:43:20.222 --> 00:43:21.566
We're rooting for you so much gratitude.
00:43:21.566 --> 00:43:22.528
Thanks for being here y'all Bye.
00:43:22.548 --> 00:43:23.972
Thank you for having us.
