Shownotes and Transcript Hermann Kelly, President of the Irish Freedom Party, shares insights on Irish politics and his background. He discusses growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, his journey from theology to journalism to politics, working with Nigel Farage in the European Parliament, and the challenges of the political sphere. Hermann outlines the Irish Freedom Party's principles of national sovereignty, anti-EU influence, pro-life stance, and traditional family values, criticizing mainstream parties on immigration. He emphasizes the importance of controlled borders, work permits, and prioritizing Irish citizens' welfare. Hermann addresses media bias, advocating for social media and grassroots efforts to connect with voters and counter leftist narratives.

Hermann, thank you so much for your time today. (Hermann Kelly) Great. Thank you very much for the invite, Peter. Great to be here. It's good to have you discuss all things Irish politics. You can obviously follow Herman @HermannKelly on Twitter. And Hermann, journalist, former UKIP's European Media Supremo, head of comms at the EFDD group in the European Parliament, Nigel Farage's press secretary, and all the fun that came back in those times, of course, as president of the Irish Freedom Party, launched in 2018 as a common-sense political party in Ireland, because Ireland lacked those, and we'll get into all of that. But, Hermann, you were born in the bog side. Christmas Day, you were born in the bog side in Derry, London Derry, Stroke City, which which is over there in Northern Ireland. It's known as a very rough area, like the Shanklin Falls, maybe in Belfast. What was it like growing up in an area like the Belfast? Well, it was only rough when I was growing up. It was a very friendly place, a very safe place, incredibly low crime rate. It was only rough if you were a British soldier. So there's bullet holes at the side of our house, the front of our house, on the wall opposite our house. There was a high banking behind our house. IRA used it as a shooting spot. And as the British Army jeeps went past the army checkpoint, out the road, they would get shot at. I've seen that many times. But if you were a local, it was incredibly safe, very low crime rate. And it had my followers headmaster of a large primary school in Cregan and Derry just up the hill from ourselves. and that had 75% male unemployment, so it was quite financially poor. But it was very friendly, very safe. And I must say, it was also highest per capita, donations per capita of any city or any town in what was politically the UK. So people were very kind, very generous. I didn't find it rough at all. It's interesting. Me growing up in Carrickfergus, that was absolutely fine because a lot of police lived there. So actually, it was monoculture, completely Protestant. You found it absolutely fine growing up in somewhere completely Catholic with no police or no army. It's interesting. We both grew up actually fairly safe childhoods. Interesting. But at kind of opposite ends of the scale in terms of that sectarian divide. Yeah. I suppose for where we were, it was a kind of high trust, low friction society. That's the whole thing about not being a multicultural society of a kind of melting pot or a kind of constant friction of people bumping off each other, metaphorically rather than physically. I mean. I always remembered very safe and certainly with the neighbours, very good people as neighbours, very, very lucky. And it shows the whole, the importance of common belief, nationality, and how it can lead to a very low-friction, high-trust society, which is easy to live in. What was it you kind of aspired to growing up? Because you went, you studied theology, you've been in media and journalism and politics. Kind of growing up, what were your thoughts of what the future may be? Well, obviously you can see with my, let's say, circuitous route of career that I didn't really know what I wanted to be when I was 18. And I remembered the agony of what I was going to fill in in the UCAS form to go to university right up to the last minute. And I started at optometry and then marine biology and then theology. I had always a great interest, developed a great interest in philosophy and then from that then theology and but I always had an abiding love interest because I grew up in day during the troubles, oh we always we were brought up with great interest in politics, interest in history in culture and also a great respect for language studied Irish studying English and a bit of French as well but the importance of language and all those things melded together my abiding interest in politics and history and culture and faith etc all those things and then also my respect for language and from that I eventually found my way to become a journalist and then a director of communication so in one way it was very circuitous but then it was when you look back it looked like a very straight path but the interest in politics and a respect for language and literature kind of have always remained with me. Well so how did you end up working with UKIP with the EFDD group in the European Parliament, was it an interest just in politics European Parliament and then later on you connected with the chaos and the fun that was UKIP or did that come first how did that happen? Well. I was actually, well, I'd previously been a teacher, I was working in Dublin and I think i became a teacher. I liked this idea of influence, influence on society to make the world a better place. And so it became a teacher then I realized that, well, where's the power to change society? Really? It's concentrated in the press, in the media. So it became a journalist. And then I think by that stage I had maybe four, five children and someone said to me one time if you can say you're a consultant you can charge twice as much, well journalism in Ireland didn't pay very much so I then was working as a press officer for Libertas in the European election 2009 for deacon gamley who were then a Eurosceptic party pat across Europe and I was so I was then recommended on foot of this by Declan Gamley to Nigel Farage. But previous to this, I had written an article for economic recovery in Ireland. Ireland needs to leave the euro. And I think Nigel Farage had seen this. It went up on UKIP website because it's unusual for people to advocate that in Ireland. And so he heard my name. And after I was recommended by Declan Gamley, he gave my call I said here let's meet up and I worked for Nigel Farage in Ireland it was the Lisbon 2 campaign of 2010 was it and 2010 and I sorry summer 2009 I worked for three months and after that just in Ireland he said come over work for me he was happy with the briefing he got and says here come over work for me full-time over in Brussels so as Ireland was absolutely going down the tubes and all these journalists were losing their jobs and losing their houses I thought well it's a good opportunity to take a well-paid and steady job, you know for the family. Definitely. I remember applying to work over there and after 10 months, they finally approved it and it was far too late and I had to produce documentation that didn't exist in the UK. It was just chaos. But I always heard your name, Hermann Kelly, always mentioned, just as I kept hearing Gawain Tyler's name mentioned over in the UK. And it seemed to me these two were the ones that understood, had their finger on the pulse, certainly in terms of medium press. I must say, I had great fun with UKIP MEPs. Like, I was working for the group, so it would have been probably 47 MEPs, seven different nationalities, I think. EFD group initially was about 42 MEPs, seven different nationalities. But the whole thing is you're meeting new people and people from different countries, different cultures, different experiences of life, pretty well-educated, pretty intelligent people, the whole lot. So it was very stimulating. It was good fun. It was important. I was committed to the work I was doing. I was philosophically committed to it. So I wanted to do a good job. and you know what you develop good relations with the people I was working with, so a number of the MEPs Nigel Farage, Paul Nuttall later guys like Ray Finch that I was very good friends with these people and also a number of staff Jamie Linsworth, Orly Leloup was chief of staff, you know we also became good friends not just colleagues working together in a political party. I remember going going for an interview with orally uh back in the days but it was all I guess the thing I found whenever I'd met a lot of the MEPs was they were real people and you kind of come across politicians that are too polished and that's all they've wanted to do the UKIP MEPs that actually lived their lives and then were doing this because they wanted to do something for their country, that's kind of rare these days in politics and that's what I love, that real but also sometimes a little bit of chaos, I mean you must have had some sleepless nights. Well one previous, Mark Kreutzer, a previous press officer said getting all the UKIP MEPs together. Was like, what was it, like herding cats, like, Yeah, see, to go against the stream, to go against the crowd or the mob, you have to have a quite individualistic contrarian streak to swim against that tide. So you must have that already to be happy to say to the establishment and the vast majority of the easy, instead of taking the easy path, you're taking the harder path and you're going against the tide. So you must have that contrarian and also quite self-confident streak to be able to do that so yeah it's a strength and a weakness, it's a strength in that people actually believe what they say and say what they believe, but it's difficult get them all in one room and get them all going singing off the same hymn sheet as you might say like you know but some great characters. I remember being here out in the front of the European Parliament here in the beer factory and was with a lot of MEPs and staff and turning around to Jamie Leansworth who was Nigel Farage's secretary at the time or advisor and saying, God, we have some characters here, huh? That's an understatement. You've got guys like Godfrey Bloom, and Mike Hookham and all these different guys and Stuart Agnew and they're all very strong characters strong personalities but it was great fun as well and like you you get to like these people as well it was never a dull, never a dull moment no never a dull moment and some of the carry on in among the foreign MEPs as well I remember, you you had MEPs from like Greece and Latvia sorry Lithuania etc et cetera, and you meet them and hear, but their histories are very different. Their experiences of life were very different. So to hear them talking about the importance of national sovereignty against a kind of federalist EU state, etc. They all have it for their own reasons and find it in their own experience. But I certainly was very committed to the job. I did my very best. And certainly reaching for the referendum in 2015, we strove very, very hard. We worked very hard to get a referendum and we worked hard then to get a result. So it was very pleasing for me personally and not just professionally but also personally to get to achieve a referendum 2015 and get a result in the Brexit referendum of 2016, so I was my wife always used to give off to me you love your job as an accusation, I said yeah what's wrong with that I do Yeah it's true it's good to love it, I want to get on the Irish politics but just last thing is is what was it like to be up, you're in the belly of the beast, you're up against the system, you're saying that, actually where we are standing here representing the UK, we are against everything that this institution, this parliament really wants, which is ever closer union, ever closer ties, control. And we want to be free from that. What was that like? Because no other countries have had a breakaway, exit groups, but actually none of them have achieved anywhere near what UKIP achieved, so what was that like as the major grouping there who actually wanted to get out of there, you would have had a lot of commonality I guess with individual MEPs but maybe not with parties, so there must be tension as well Oh yeah certainly in the second term with the EFDD group we there was a marriage of convenience we had with the five-star party and that wasn't a marriage made in heaven believe me uh so we were very Eurosceptic believed in national sovereign they wanted to leave the European union and we were sold a bit of a pup that they were kind of anti-establishment kind of Eurosceptic well the leaders were pepe grillo a guy david casaleggio certainly were quite rebellious and Eurosceptic But the MEPs who they voted in, where a lot of them had done Rasmus schemes and stuff like that, they're all very university-educated. They weren't Euro-sceptic at all. And that was a very difficult time, yes. There was quite a few arguments there. But, you know what? Personally, I would always have different relations with various people, across the political spectrum here in Brussels. I would regard it as bad form to be, disliking people because of their political views. But certainly, politically, Yeah, we were treated pretty abysmally by the institutions of the European Parliament here, who certainly after Brexit were incredibly vindictive and actually went on a witch hunt of MEPs. And I know, for example, that Paul Nuttall, his life was made a nightmare with constant meetings by this finance department with false accusations. And basically the refusal, how they treated some people was just unbelievable. Like one guy broke his arm. I know, for example, that they refused to pay the medical bills of a number of MEPs, which were 100% genuine, just out of malice. And they said, but you have to pay? That's the rules. Take us to court if you want. It's our court. This is the kind of stuff that would happen. and they refused to pay the staff of some MEPs. Asked why, we're not going to do it. If you want to, take it to court if you want. Remember, we control the court as well. So this was the attitude. So it really showed that centralisation of power in the hands of a small number of unaccountable elite is a very dangerous and stupid idea. No completely. Right, I want to get on to Irish politics. And everything that you've taught about, I guess, has given you a wide grasp of what is happening across, your wide grasp of that political side and added to your journalism skills and background. So you've got the Irish Freedom Party and Ireland is, as I mentioned earlier, I grew up with Gareth Fitzgerald and Charlie Hockey in the 80s in Ireland. Ireland was a very different place, although it still was Irish. So that was the benefit of it. Well, that bit's changed. But, and we'll get into Immigrate, but the Irish Freedom Party, tell us kind of where that came from, the idea and what it stands for. Because there was no party in Ireland looking for a sovereign, independent Ireland. You had Sinn Féin, who were basically, they were... They're implementing British rule in Ireland, but also they were happy to advocate Brussels' rule. So they're opposed to UK influence in Ireland, but they were completely happy that the majority of the laws which run in Ireland actually come originally from Brussels by people who we didn't elect and who we can't get rid of. So I believe in nation and nation-state and democratic self-determination. I believe that Irish people are good enough to make their own laws, to decide their own destiny in this world. I'm opposed to subservience to the European Union. The big problem over here in Brussels with the EU itself is what you call qualified majority voting, where Ireland, we're 1% of the EU population. So that means that the votes are voted on, 99% of the votes are done by people who are not Irish, and these laws can be approved and imposed upon us, and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it because we have disqualified majority voting in most of the areas. Many people do not realise that in areas of EU competence, EU law is superior to the Irishlaw, Irish Supreme Court, and the Irish Constitution. And that, for me, certainly is not a constitutional or democratic. Like a constitutional republic. That is a province of Brussels. It's a subservient province of Brussels, and that's not what the people were promised 100 years ago. So how did the party launch? It's been there since 2018, and I've looked at the Irish political scene from afar, and there wasn't anything which was common sense and seen. One Taoiseach after another just destroying Ireland. Yeah, there's this cultural like, it's funny because I was, we're talking about where we're both from, like, so growing up in the Brandywale, in the Lomar Road in Derry during the Troubles, I was brought up for all intents and purposes was a cultural superiority complex, that we were brought up that Irish poetry, Irish dance, Irish games and language and literature was fantastic. It was the best in the world and the world needed plenty of us. Go forth and procreate. We're wonderful, right? It then come down south and the experience is cultural self-loathing, which is very strong among the media class and the political class. And it's, well, where does this come from? And it wasn't just but this cultural self-loathing is very deep in south of Ireland at the minute at something to which I'm very implacably opposed and now we're trying to change the ship of state around, you know what, Irish culture is good Irish nation it's important what's the only one one we have, that Irish democracy, we must, seek that we are in democratic control of our destiny in this world, not to have laws dictated to us by someone else who we didn't vote for and we can't get rid of. But it's to do with a lot of things as well. Our catch cry is that we want free people in a free country. So it's not just like we want democratic control in Ireland to leave the European Union. And that the government in Dublin is going to dictate our lives, is that personal freedom, personal responsibility are very important. They're vital. We're standing up for things like the importance of free speech, for the right to not have the state dictate to you what you most put inside your body as a basic human right. The right to private property, that the state does not control your life, Even an Irish state doesn't control your life. So standing up for, I would describe these the basic building blocks of a liberal society. Of, as I said, free people in a free country, free speech, right to bodily autonomy, private property, lower government, less government waste, less government spending, lower taxation, the people be able themselves to make the decisions which control their own lives. So we started the party five years ago. We just now have had our first councillor elected in those last local elections. Glenn Moore and Clon Bakken will be running a large slate of candidates in the general election, which is likely to come about in October or November of this year. And I'm myself I ran as a candidate in the Midlands Northwest for the European election there just passed I ended up I got there was a huge huge number of candidates, 27 candidates in total, there were 13 nationalist candidates after Peter Casey the former presidential candidate I got the the highest is the highest vote of any nationalist I ended up with 21,000 votes and 3% of the vote. Considering there were 13 nationalist candidates in the field, I did very well. And actually, the person who was presented themselves as kind of a little bit conservative, socially conservative, nationalist. Eurosceptic, what do you call him, Keir Malooly from the Independent Ireland Party. What did they do? They got elected. And the first thing he did was come over to Brussels and join Renew, which is the Federalist fanatic group, with a complete and utter betrayal by the party of all those voters who voted for him. So I only wish he had told the voters before the election that he was going to join the Federalist group in the European Parliament rather than after, because I think my vote would have increased dramatically. Well, Ireland are getting some of the policies, but Ireland seems to have been slow to move away from that. You had Fianna Gael, Fianna Fáil, you've always had them with a dose of Labour in there. Then obviously you've had the rise of Sinn Féin. But Ireland seems to have been slow to move away from that group of parties. And Sinn Féin have been around a long time as well. They're not a new party. Tell me what that's like in moving to new parties and getting the message out. It's a tough sell, actually, putting something new out in the Irish political sphere and getting the message out in the media. Absolutely, because historically, I was very slow to support new parties. Most of the successful political parties are split off from actually Sinn Féin from 1905 and onwards. We have Sinn Féin then split into Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and then Plan the Public. I believe all the parties are a break off of Sinn Féin bar the Green Party, if that is correct. And Sinn Féin well for example but even Fianna Fáil used to be Fianna Fáil, the Republican Party, they believed in National Democratic since they pushed to join the Common Market in 1973 and then it was still Sinn Féin policy to leave the Common Market or the European Community, whatever you called it, certainly up until the late 80s so we're basically.... Look, the Proclamation of Independence in 1916 talked about the Irish people having the right, and even says, also in the Irish Constitution of 1937, about the sovereignty and independence of Ireland should be protected for the good of the Irish nation. And that's what we're seeking for. All we're looking to do is to be a normal, self-governing country where we make our own laws for the benefit of the Irish people. That's all. We're not looking for anything new, crazy, or fandangled thing. But Sinn Féin have changed dramatically. They're now a European Unionist party. I call them a Euro-Loyalist party. I'm sure they hate it, but I love it. You know the reasons why. Oh yeah, I call Sinn Féin immigration party. It does make me laugh that they hate it as well. The Sinn Féin immigration party is Brits out everybody else in. Drives them mad. I saw in your Wikipedia entry you'd used the term abort and import, which I also loved as well. I say the Sinn Féin immigration policy is Brits out to everybody else, and the Fine Gael immigration policy is abort and import. And it actually works perfectly in all the romance languages, French and Spanish Spanish, et cetera. It all works perfectly in those, because I was telling someone over here at dinner one evening, I said, oh, that's really good in French too. That's fantastic. I always use as few words as possible to pack as much power into as little space as possible. That's my job as a press officer, was always to take complex ideas and crunch them down or boil them down into some in as few words as possible with as much power and impact, both political and emotional impact on people as it can. So that's a typical few examples of Hermanism, so to speak, like to boil down complex ideas. The simple language, because my job as press officer was always to get words or formula words that people understand, they can easily understand, easily remember. I always scratch my head looking at Ireland originally used to be one of the strongest Catholic countries, most staunchly Christian Catholic countries in Europe. And yet you've had their political representatives have not gone along with any Catholic belief. You look at Sinn Féin, you look at the North SDLP, everything about them has been more the self-hatred woke agenda and nothing about what actually the church would teach. And I often wonder if I was going to mass each Sunday, actually politically, who would I vote for? Where Northern Ireland, the DUP, who generally were socially conservative. And for the Catholic side, there was no one socially conservative ever to vote for. Absolutely. Well, certainly, yeah, in the last 20 years, you had to, I think a large part of it was self-inflicted by Vatican II about the self-loathing that anything came before 1965 was bad, was supposed to be forgotten, to be rejected. And that the new year zero, so to speak, the second Vatican Council ended, I think, 1968 or 69, that everything after that was okay. And it's all Libby-friendly. That was great. great, but no, in the Irish context, even up in the North, which was normally more conservative, people were more, let's say, conscious and proud of being Christian and being Catholic, part of their identity, national identity, religious identity. Down south, completely the opposite, where people that, because the power of the media, that you had Sinn Féin, the Workers' Party in the 70s and 80s, a very... They started off as nationalists that became internationalists and then became very a Marxist party, basically very anti-Christian and I believe that had a very, the leader's effect on the culture of Ireland because there were so many of them got into the media and had a big big impact, but ourselves, we are happy and proud to, when we are not a kind of confessional party, you don't have to be a Catholic to join the Irish Freedom Party. But we've made it very clear from day one that we are a pro-life party and we are pro-family, that we believe we want to protect and augment the foundations of civilisation. So where cultural Marxism wants to destroy the nation state. National sovereignty, the nation state wants to destroy the family, even down to the distinctions of male and female. We want to counteract that. So we were against this trans ideology. We'll stand up for the distinction and common complementarity of man and a woman. We approve family. We want to encourage people to have children, to educate their children in their culture. It is then with education develops culture and a civilization. And we believe that we also believe in the nation state and in national democracy. So like, but all this stuff about. It's very hard to have a functioning successful civilization where the family is not at the centre of it and faith is a very important, Christian faith you acknowledge not only acknowledge Christian faith as a historical origin but also as a living thing in Ireland. And I must say that compared to the Libby Dibbies in Ireland, you'll find that a large swathe of nationalists, they're not practicing Catholics and Christians, they're certainly culturally so. And they're very proud of that. Because when they look around and they see that here we have, They have 10,000 abortions, 10,000 Irish children being killed in the womb last year in Ireland. Our birth rate is now 1.5, just over 1.5 children per woman. A few generations of that, the population of Ireland shrinks to filial. So we are in favour of liberty and of life. So we would like to encourage people to get married, to have children, to start a family. So we advocate as a pro-natalist, pro-family party, but also advocate policies like we have already. And they've successfully implemented in Hungary to adjust the tax system to help young couples to have kids. And that, for example, if a couple have three or four children, that they don't pay tax and that they don't encourage young couples to have children because no country has a future without children. And that's a basic fact because demographics is destiny. That is a universal truth all across the world and every time in every culture. So we want to encourage the people to have children and also then provide the basics all of them. So I was talking last night on a space and I was talking about the importance of, we are not looking for we're just looking for the ability for people to grow up in a safe environment, and then when they leave school that they have the ability to get a job. Find someone who's only got married to be able to buy a house because at the minute, because of mass immigration, high house prices, young people cannot buy a house and they're all emigrating. A massive problem in Ireland isn't just immigration into Ireland, it's also emigration. We are importing a huge number of people into Ireland. We don't know who, in many cases, we don't know who they are, where they're from, do they have a criminal record. That is detrimental to the security of our country because it leads to an increased crime rate, et cetera. At the same time, because our young people cannot, in many cases, find an apartment to rent, certainly not a house to buy, which they cannot afford anyway. So what are they doing? They're emigrating to Australia and Canada. And that's. Well that's the definition of a failed state isn't it, where you can even provide a job in a house for young people and they're emigrating so that is a failed state, so we as people actually are pretty upset how the country that they love being destroyed before their eyes and, but we will instead of personal darkness we would like to put out a light and do something about it, soI said, we're putting out candidates in the general election. We will keep on standing. Nigel Farage, he just got elected there during the week. It was his eighth time of standing for the Houses of Parliament. And I've only stood twice in the European election. That'd be my first time standing as a TD seat. So we're in the infancy of the Irish Freedom Party. But I am certain that in the years ahead, we will have a large impact. And we're already having an impact. because you saw there in that European election, Sinn Féin did very poorly. Their vote fell, now last October, their vote in the polls was 35%. It's now 18%. And in the European election, their vote fell by 12.5%. A general nationalist sway was 12.5%. So that vote, I would suspect, or I would argue, went from Sinn Féin to a smog spore of nationalist candidates. It was like a plunder boss into a mattress and that vote went everywhere to so many different national candidates, 3,000 here, 3,500 there, maybe 21,000 people like me, but that the. That Sinn Féin vote did not go to Fine Gael. It went to generalist nationalist candidates. So we're having an impact on the narrative, on the discussion of the EU migration pact, on the anti-free speech laws that they're trying to introduce in Ireland, about the whole thing about housing availability, etc. We're having an impact on the political discussion in Ireland already. Ready and I would hope and expect that that increases in the years going forward. I want to pick an immigration but let me just touch on the family, because when you look at Hungary and their pro-family and pro-life policies and there are parties you look at Italy and Greece and there are it's a pro-family nation still pro-family culture and a pro-life generally. But many parties, I know Reform will maybe talk a bit about pro-family, but pro-life, you know, that's up to the individual. But I can't imagine kids growing up thinking, you know, when I get older, someday I'd love to have an abortion. It shouldn't be the main option. There has to be a range of options of adoption, of other ideas. And it seems as though especially young girls are pushed down this avenue and this is the only option and I mean I got a lot of respect for you as a party, not only being pro-family but actually pro-life because that's a completely common sense response to what we are facing. Yeah well I was actually attended the rally for life, on in Dublin there on Saturday there's a very big crowd at it and there was a number of members and candidates for the Irish freedom party were there the Irish freedom party banner and the a number of national flags as well to show that we're proud to stand up for life and so well sure, how can you talk about human rights when you don't If you do not defend the right to life, if you don't defend the right to exist. How can you talk about the right to free speech, the right to private property, the right to this and that? It's a nonsense. And on the counter to that, if you accept that you can wipe out and destroy and butcher innocent human life, if you accept that principle, well, the next thing you're then on to logical consequence of accepting that principle. Is you're then you extended over time and you're then in favor of euthanasia of old people and then your euthanasia of people who are physically handicapped in some way or then people who are depressed and then you're straight on the 100% healthy people who there's nothing wrong with them and then you're straight on to murder, murder of innocent people who have I've never done anything wrong, and there's nothing wrong with them. So it's philosophically to accept the principle that it's okay to destroy human life. I will never accept it. Because you're on the slippery slope of a culture which advocates killing. Killing of its young, it's innocent. Then it's then killing old people, then sick people, and then healthy people. And that is that this two cities as Saint Augustine might say and the culture of life and the cultural death are extremely different and the consequences of a slight change in principle, like it's like coming up to a roundabout in a car and you're going around and you take one direction and as you follow out along that road that you've taken you can go in a very you end up in a very different destination if you take another turn off and you follow that path, for a number of miles. So be very careful. So that's why we've been very clear from day one that this is a pro-life party and we're also pro-family and we support a cultural life, not a culture of death. I want to finish on immigration because it's very strange for Ireland because Ireland have so much influence worldwide and the Irish culture is known throughout, probably because of the potato famine, because of that mass migration that's meant there is Irishness everywhere, certainly in the US and you travel all over Europe and wider and you'll certainly find Irish pubs, people flock to that. That desire and likability and connection and respect for Irish culture and intrigue, all of that, that kind of seemed to be disappearing. I'm surprised the mass immigration, but the change that's brought to Ireland, considering Irishness is known, despite Ireland being a tiny country, its impact culturally is very wide all over the world. But yet successive governments have allowed absolute mass immigration on a scale I don't think anyone else has seen in Europe for such a country that size. How has that affected voters and the public? Because if you keep voting the same way, you're just going to get the same change in Ireland and decimation of Irishness. All the main parties in Ireland, Fianna Fáil, Fianna Gael, Sinn Féin, Labour Party, all the left are all in favour of what pretty much amounts to open borders, mass immigration. Now the consequences of that at the moment is that the Irish population since 1995 has gone up by over 1.5 million people, gone from 3.5 to 5.3 million people. That's a 42% percent increase in a very short period of time. And Ireland actually is the fastest increasing we see in Europe. In the Western world, actually, Ireland has the fastest increase of population through immigration of any country in the world, bar none. So what is happening, I would describe it as the new colonization of Ireland, because the numbers coming in here is so large. Like when we started off the party five years ago, I believe 12% of the population were non-national. It's now 22%. So there's been a 10% increase in the non-national part of our population within five years. That's immense. And actually, Grip Media did an analysis of the rate of influx of immigration into Ireland. And they worked out that if the current rate continues, what has happened over the last five years, As that continues, Irish people will be a minority in their own country by the year 2050. And I don't know about you, but I certainly wasn't asked about that. I didn't give my consent. So we describe what's happened now as the colonization without consent. And all we're looking for is to be a normal country, which has borders, which controls for the good of its people, the numbers of people and the qualifications of the people who are coming in, that they make sure that one, do we need to and two, if you want to come in you have got to contribute to our society and so for example you've got skills that you can that you can contribute and you're not a kind of tax, like don't be coming in here looking for free housing, free welfare, free medical care, like you come in, you work you support yourself and when [I very much believe in the work permit system. You come in, you work, you pay tax. And after that, after picking up, working, being paid, getting experience, having a good time, you then go back to your country of origin or go on to the next country, wherever you like. But I believe that because taking in large numbers of unvetted males into the country makes Ireland a less secure place. And like, for example, in 2022, there were 12 women were murdered in Ireland. Five of those were murdered by non-nationals. So there's been a swathe of increase in rapes and sexual assault in Ireland, as has happened all across Europe, be it in Germany, be it in Italy, be it in Sweden and France. So we should stop being naive and thinking that, oh, but it will never happen in Ireland because everybody loves us. They may do, but the consequences of mass unvetted immigration into Ireland are not very positive for Ireland at the minute. So all we're looking for is to be a normal country which controls its borders for the good of its own people. Because we want our young people, as I said earlier, to be able to get a job, be able to find a house and live in a secure area without any fear. And that's what people see, the destruction of their country, the mass immigration, and of course the destruction of the family. How do you, I mean, someone who understands the media so well, how do you get your message out? You've got a block on the mainstream media. Is it looking for alternative media, going directly to individuals, to the voters? How do you kind of get around that block which exists in Ireland to stop your message of common sense getting out? Well, you're completely true. The mainstream media, and when I say mainstream, it's funny because in regards, for example, that issue of are people in favour of mass immigration, 75% of people in Ireland are completely opposed to more migration. They believe Ireland has more than had enough. So that is the mainstream position. It's the extreme leftist position of open borders. They are the extremists. They are the minority. But the thing is, these leftists do control the media. And so we find it very difficult if not impossible to get anything positive out in the Irish media, so we're using social media at the minute and during the European elections was a good boost because the local papers had to talk about us, talk to our candidates, the write-ups of the candidates was almost universally positive on local radio, there were debates, so we got the name and the candidates of the party out there in open debate. We were discussing our policies in a fair environment for the first time, but the national media blocked us completely. So basically, we're pretty much using social media and also boots on the ground to get out meeting people, canvassing is very, very important. Well, Hermann, I really do appreciate your time. Hermann Kelly, President of the Irish Freedom Party, bringing common sense and an option to the voters that traditionally up to now really have not had any. So Hermann, thank you so much for joining us and giving us an overview, not only of Irish Freedom Party, but the difficulty and issues you're facing there in Ireland. Thank you very much, Peter.

Thanx is a leading loyalty and guest engagement platform for restaurants. The company, founded by Zach Goldstein in 2011, helps businesses embrace digital purchasing, capture greater customer data, and take action on that information to personalize guest engagement.Thanx builds digital UX – mobile apps and web ordering experience – that help restaurants differentiate themselves. Thanx also offers dynamic self-service loyalty programs that help restaurants break free from cookie cutter loyalty programs. Before joining Thanx, Emily was a business intelligence consultant.Restaurants face many challenges when it comes to data, including not having resources to analyze and take action on data available to them. They also don't have a good way to centralize the data and make it useful. Restaurants also struggle to capture enough data. Many loyalty programs fail to capture enough data because the programs are difficult to sign up for (often requiring an app) and they make customers jump through hoops to use the app or program. Thanx loyalty programs think outside the “Spend X, Get Y” box to offer unique loyalty programs that don't rely on discounts. That includes offers of special food items or LTOs to loyalty members or all day happy hour for loyalty members.  QUOTES “There's problems associated with getting data and then there's the problem of doing something with the data (after you get it) that's meaningful to the business.” (Emily) “Restaurants generally don't have the resources in house to help them make sense of the data that they have.” (Emily) “Far and away the most common challenge (for restaurants) is that they're not capturing enough data.” (Emily) “Most revenue is still flowing through in-store channels. This is where loyalty comes in.” (Emily)“Loyalty is the only proven mechanism for broadly capturing data and driving repeat purchasing from it. And yet, most loyalty programs don't capture enough data.” (Emily) “There are a few restaurants doing loyalty really well. For the rest of restaurants, those loyalty programs are all very similar ‘Spend X, Get Y' programs. Thanx allows you to build unique, differentiated, bespoke loyalty programs.” (Emily) “Not only do non-discount programs work better, they also cost less.” (Emily) “If you look at why restaurants aren't personalizing (programs), most of the time it's not because people think it's not important or it's not going to drive results. It's because it's really hard to do.” (Emily) TRANSCRIPT 00:00.00vigorbrandingHello Today’s guest is someone who knows a lot about data and loyalty programs which are two extremely important topics for restaurants and any brand for that matter. Our guest is Emily rugabier and she is the Vp of marketing for thanks with an x. So thanks for joining us Emily Rut Gaber I’m sorry I practiced it three times. So. 00:19.99Emily Yeah, happy to be here and you almost got it rugeber very close. Um. 00:27.57Emily So um, yeah, very happy to be here. Thank you so much for having me. Thanks is a guest engagement and retention platform for restaurants. Ah so that’s kind of a mouthful so I’ll tell you what that means? um. We build digital ux so we build mobile apps and web ordering experiences that help restaurants sort of differentiate themselves their first -party ordering from their third parties as I’m sure this audience knows all too. Well, the third -party platforms are higher margin. They don’t get a lot of data shared with them about the customers. And they’re actually being served ads potentially from competitors on that platform and so there’s a lot of reason to want to have your customers order directly which we help brands do we also offer really dynamic self-service loyalty programs that help restaurants sort of bake. Break free from these cookie cutter programs. You know that they launch and then they never change and many of them don’t drive measurable results and then lastly we’re a complete crm and marketing automation platform really sort of differentiated in terms of ease of use. So. There’s a lot of platforms like ours on the market. We really focus on trying to make marketing as easy as possible. We know that every single restaurant that I talk to when I talk to their marketing team. They say they’re bandwidth constrained and they sort of laugh when I talk about this because it’s so true. 01:51.36Emily And they don’t have time to waste on the mechanics of creating campaigns. They want to do personalized marketing but they want to do it in a way that’s really easy so that they can get it done and prioritize it. 01:59.89vigorbrandingvery cool. very cool so okay so let’s talk data last year nation’s restaurant news said customer data is the Holy Grail of restaurant success and you know we have a data analytics company. We know that mining data is super important. We can learn everything that there is to know and. 02:06.30Emily Yep. 02:18.30vigorbrandingAllows us to make great decisions. So the same article reveal that 70% of restaurant operators don’t feel like they’re properly optimizing customer data knowing important how important data is why aren’t more restaurants making more use of it. 02:32.49Emily Yeah, and just a little bit about me I sort of mentioned to this to you before we were talking before I joined. Thanks I actually worked as a business intelligence consultant I was advising some of the largest enterprises I worked with nestle I worked with sap I worked with Target Virgin America and um. This is true, not just of restaurants. This is true with many many businesses. It’s certainly not a unique problem that restaurants have but the way I like to think about this because it’s such a large sort of meaty topic is to break it into 2 categories of problems. There’s the problems associated with getting data in and then there’s the problems associated with. 03:09.23vigorbrandingHere. 03:09.42Emily Doing something with that data that is meaningful to the business so sort of breaking it down in that way and just thinking about getting data in there’s ah you know a few common challenges that we see I think restaurants generally they don’t have the resources in-house to help them make sense of the data that they have. A lot of times they don’t have the technology as well. In the case where they do have some data a lot of times the data really lives in Silos and so they don’t have a good way to centralize it and sort of make sense of it and make it usable for their internal teams and the last challenge which I think is by far and away the most common challenge. Is that they’re just not capturing enough data and this you sort of have to break it down into the online aspects and the in-store aspects I think restaurants have gotten better at the online piece just in light of the fact that they’re transacting more of their business online. Although there’s. Ah, huge amount of room for improvement with online and then there’s the in-store piece I think most revenue is still flowing through in-store channels and so um, this is where loyalty comes in right? There’s ah. Ah, variety of other avenues for capturing Data. You know you hear about wi-fi marketing you hear about reservations. For example, Loyalty is really the only proven mechanism for broadly capturing data and driving repeat purchasing from it. Um, and yet most loyalty programs. 04:23.99vigorbrandingMan. 04:40.37Emily Don’t capture a lot of data and and that’s because I mean there’s ah, there’s a couple different reasons but that’s in large part because they make guests really jump through hoops in order to engage with the program. It’s difficult to sign up. You know you have to download a mobile app How many mobile apps. Do you have on your phone. 04:40.45vigorbrandingAnd. 04:58.66Emily Ah, maybe you have 6 or 7 but there’s a lot more restaurants than that so they force you to download a mobile app you have to show a qr code at the register in order to earn progress and you’ve got a line of 10 people who are frustrated at you because you can’t get internet on your phone. 05:18.51Emily They make it really really hard. This is an area where Thanks is really differentiated. 05:22.20vigorbrandingWe talk about a little bit more about Thanks how how is yours different. How does it look feel how how is it easier to use. 05:31.97Emily Um, yes, that’s obviously a really big question the way I like to think about it is there’s sort of 4 different categories where we’re differentiated. So like I mentioned before loyalty tends to be pretty one size fits all so you know. As a consumer going to restaurants. You know you obviously have engaged with the programs. There’s a few really sort of um, there’s a few restaurants that are doing this really really? Well right? We all know the Starbucks and the chipotles and the dominoes who are doing this really well. But for the rest of. Restaurants by and large those loyalty programs are all pretty similar spend x get y um, and ah, what thanks does differently on this dimension is we allow you to build really unique differentiated bespoke Loyalty Programs so that means going outside the structure of like a spend x get y you can do really cool things that don’t rely on discounts. For example, you can offer. Ah you know a special food item. Maybe an lto some throwback from. 06:39.86vigorbrandingSure. 06:42.19Emily Ah, the past that worked really well you can offer that just to your loyalty members for a short period of time or you can do you know um, all day happy hour for loyalty members or for a segment of your guests. You know your very best loyalty members and so creating a program that’s bespoke. That’s really. On brand doesn’t rely heavily on discounts as sort of the first area I already mentioned the piece around marketing really being designed for ease of use. There’s a variety of ways that we implement this but think of lots of automation really easy a b testing the interface. Self is really dynamic easy to use it loads really quickly all of that good stuff and then the last piece that I would say is really important is this intersection between online ordering and loyalty and this is not an area that most loyalty providers get right? because it’s really hard. 07:19.58vigorbrandingGreat. 07:35.43vigorbrandingI hope. 07:37.27Emily Every single loyalty provider and every single ordering provider are going to have distinct integrations that enable distinct capabilities and so being able to build a best-in-class integration with a variety of online ordering providers doing it in a way that’s really seamless. That’s really hard to do. That’s something that think does really well give you an example of that we have automated campaigns that you can turn on basically with a a switch of a button after you’ve designed an email which automates the process of ah you know. Incentivizing somebody to come back to an abandoned cart. So you’re about to order lunch. You realize you’re late for your meeting. You put the salad in your basket. You’ve got everything ready to go but you realize you have to go and so you leave that cart abandoned the next day you get an email that says hey why don’t you come back. 08:15.93vigorbrandingAnd. 08:33.45Emily You know, pick up where you left off here’s a dollar off to do so that can be completely automated. No ah you know, additional effort after the initial setup through things and through our partnerships with best in class ordering providers. 08:36.48vigorbrandingThat’s great. 08:47.22vigorbrandingYeah, because I mean to your point like a lot of loyalty programs are punch cards and stuff I still do one for my dog food. You know you go to punch it and and after 9 bags I get a tenth bag free and you’re you’re creating more of ah more engagement and almost like a. Ah, vip thing right? You’re treating people special by by by doing business with you being loyal there’s there’s hidden menu things like you said offers things like that and that probably and creates ah additional engagement I imagine right? and probably gets repeat visits visits and everything else. 09:09.83Emily Um, ah. 09:16.42vigorbrandingHow how successful has that been is that do you have any kind of ah information around that. 09:18.88Emily Yes, So there’s sort of 2 ways to think about that one is the success of the revenue that it drives and the other is the cost savings and I think on both dimensions we’re seeing that they perform much better than the alternative sort of more rote Programs. So. Um, and of course like this is that’s a broad statement. That’s not always True. You have to test these things you have to see what works which is something that we offer as well. But um, generally speaking we see about 4 times better redemption rates on targeted Non-discount rewards. 09:55.14vigorbrandingOh. 09:57.28Emily So that’s the first piece. Um, it’s kind of like when you go get on an airplane right? or like when you’re actually before you even get on the airplane when you’re buying your ticket. Maybe you go to kayak and maybe you look for the best price and you know maybe you find a flight but there’s certain airlines you’re not going to go on. 10:14.60vigorbrandingOh. 10:16.70Emily And there may even be that 1 airline that does cost a bit more but you go for it anyway because you know there’s a chance you might get upgraded or you know there’s a chance that you’re going to get better treatment from you know the staff ah because you’ve got that you know status and that you’ve earned. And so you know access to wi-fi these things that aren’t necessarily um, you know, direct to your bottom line but do make you feel this element of having status exclusivity et cetera so that’s one dimension. The other dimension is the cost savings. We see that. 10:35.80vigorbrandingI. 10:53.62Emily Not only do the non-discount reward work better but they obviously also cost less now some of these things have operational costs I’m not saying that. That’s not the case. Ah but a common ah idea that I tell restaurants all the time is take an existing menu hack something you are already doing you know your regulars they come in and they say hey can I get this sauce with this salad I Know it’s off menu. 11:06.83vigorbrandingAnd. 11:13.60Emily And they’ll do it for you because it’s easy take that put it on your menu make it a special. Um, you know members only exclusive or top tier member only exclusive and um, use that as an incentive it costs you nothing. 11:27.33vigorbrandingI love it. Makes everyone feel like an insider makes them feel special and endears under the brand. So what do you think is like the number 1 mistake that you see restaurants making when it comes to designing designing these loyalty programs. 11:30.59Emily Yeah, exactly. 11:41.20Emily Yeah, it’s a hard question because there’s a couple of them. Um I think a lot of times the the first one that I’ll say is I think a lot of times brands spend a lot of time upfront when they’re launching their loyalty program trying to come up with the perfect. 11:44.72vigorbrandingUm. 11:57.27Emily Idea for how the loyalty program should be structured I’ve actually heard of brands hiring very expensive management consultants and paying them hundreds of thousands of dollars to help them come up with their initial program structure and there’s not necessarily anything wrong with that. It’s expensive. I would suggest you know unless you can really justify that and have vetted that thoroughly just get started try something obviously talk to your loyalty provider and they should be able to provide best practices and recommendations but try it get started and then iterate on it. Once you launch the program your customers will tell you what they like right? you got a reward marketplace with 15 rewards in it and you’re seeing that you know 3 of them are never touched. That’s probably a good opportunity to reevaluate whether those rewards should be on the menu. Maybe they should be on the menu but they need to be. On the menu at a lower cost and you can figure out based on the effective discount rate of each of your rewards. What makes the most sense and what’s most cost effective. So that’s the first one is I would say like don’t overengine engineer the upfront setup but just iterate on it over time. The reality is. 13:07.61vigorbranding7 13:11.33Emily That’s really difficult to do in most loyalty platforms and so you have to talk to an account manager you have to do a six-week development cycle you have to do kind of like a transition a full relunch of the program. Um, so there may be some technology barriers there. But if you can. Try to think about it as like an ongoing iteration as opposed to a point in time thing that never changes brands on thanks change their loyalty programs on average 9 times a year yeah exactly the the other one that I would say is we regularly see brands. 13:35.13vigorbrandingFantastic I Assume you help them navigate that. 13:47.22Emily Prioritizing cost saving measures in loyalty program management opting for cheaper technology solutions or you know minimal rewards offerings. They don’t want to make that upfront and investment. But I think an over emphasis on. 13:57.22vigorbrandingYeah. 14:03.16Emily Cost savings can result in lower program participation and missed revenue opportunities in the long run. So when you invest in you know, high quality technology partner and sort of innovative reward structures. You can really start to maximize ah Roi of the loyalty program and drive that sustained growth which is the whole point. 14:20.60vigorbrandingVery cool I mean we see I mean everything about data is personalized customer experiences and I know that’s what you guys are all about but yet we still see all these restaurants doing this one size fits all stuff and it just doesn’t work. Does it. 14:34.95Emily Um, yeah, it’s I think that one size fits all marketing the broad base top of mind marketing does have a purpose you’re trying to stay top of mind. Um. That being set it has to be complemented by a more personalized approach for sure. Um I Think if you if you look at why restaurants aren’t personalizing most of the time It’s not because people think it’s not important or it’s not going to drive results. 14:50.19vigorbrandingHave you. 15:07.92Emily It’s because it’s actually really hard if you’re going to run a personalized strategy. You’re probably creating 3 emails instead of 1 or 5 emails instead of 1 somebody has to design those emails somebody has to determine what the strategy should be somebody has to. 15:20.58vigorbrandingAh. 15:25.25Emily Determine What the incentives should be and what the messaging should be. That’s that’s real work that someone has to do and as I mentioned before a lot of times these restaurant teams are really really small and they don’t have a lot of Bandwidth so it has to be really easy and I think um, the other challenge is maybe you put in that effort. And you put in that energy and then you run the campaign and you get a result and you say was that good was that bad I don’t know was it better than I would have gotten if I had done nothing is there something that I could have done that would have been even more important and so you’re left with this sort of unresolved state. 15:51.14vigorbrandingYou. 16:03.86Emily And now you’re thinking was all that effort. Really worth it and you just don’t know and so I think this is where multivariate testing can come in so you can actually sort of see okay was free fries versus the free shake versus doing nothing at all actually worthwhile and you just let the results of the campaign. 16:18.31vigorbrandingDrive it? yep. 16:23.13Emily Define What you do and ideally in the scenario where it’s something that you can automate you automate the heck out of it So you’re not forcing your team to rebuild and rebuild and rebuild. 16:33.25vigorbrandingMakes total sense so when we’re talking like data’s role in shaping how we use different tools. There’s there’s social media. There’s we talked a lot about email for marketing tools is there 1 that you prefer more is one more effective pros and cons can you talk about that a little bit. 16:45.66Emily Um. 16:48.53Emily Yeah I mean the devil’s in the details here. Um I think both social media and email marketing can be effective tools for restaurants but the effectiveness really depends on a variety of factors such as who the audience is what the goal is what the content strategy is. Um, I think the way I like to think about this and break this down I was actually I was at a conference last year I was at the meg conference the marketing executive group conference and I was sitting at a table. Um, there were like these roundtables and I was sitting at a table. 17:18.42vigorbrandingUm. 17:24.70Emily Talking to a bunch of restaurant marketers just sort of listening in. It was a facilitated session by another team and they were talking about segmentation. They’re talking about the challenges that restaurant marketers face with segmentation what they should do and the reality was I think everyone went around and they had like a hand raise of. Who here is doing any sort of segmented marketing and I I want to say like beyond just like the very very basic stuff and I want to say maybe 3 out of 10 people raised their hand and as I was listening to some of the challenges it really boiled down to. 17:55.40vigorbrandingAh. 18:00.81Emily Just don’t know where to start like I think a lot of times restaurant marketers are thinking about segmentation in terms of like demographic segmentation or maybe they’re thinking like you’re you know, very basic like your top spenders versus not top spenders. What I think is been helpful and what I’ve heard in talking with folks is really helpful is sort of this ah like idea of a framework for how to think about how do you even approach this stuff to start and there’s a variety of ways to do this that can be done really well. But if you’re trying to figure out where to get started I like to advise thinking about it in terms of the lifecycle. 18:35.95Emily Your customers who have only made 1 purchase or maybe 2 purchases. They’re very different than your customers who’ve come in 6 times and who have been coming in regularly once a month versus the people who haven’t been in it all in the last one hundred and eighty days and so think about the customer lifecycle in terms of. You to be acquired customers your to be activated customers meaning they need to have at least made 3 purchases in a certain period of time your engaged customers which are the people that you want to engage and incrementally improve their behavior. They’re also the ones you want to retain over time and then there’s the churned. Customers and there’s really no sense in spending a lot of time on customers that genuinely are not coming back to your business because they have demonstrated no frequency in the last year for example so if you think about it in terms of you know to be acquired activated engaged and churned. You can think about okay, well you know. The way that you’re going to talk to somebody who has only made 1 purchase should be very very different than the way you’re going to talk to somebody who comes in all the time and so for the group let’s say that you want to engage or excuse me that you want to activate. Um, you know think about how do you get that next incremental purchase. 19:50.43vigorbrandingWho. 19:52.63Emily You know from 1 to 2 and how do you go from 2 to 3 and once you get over that hump of activated. We actually see on our platform. We did a study a couple years back if you can get somebody to make a third purchase. They are actually 10 times more likely to come back than somebody who has only made 1 purchase. 20:08.74vigorbrandingAnd. 20:10.95Emily And so if you can get them to sort of start to build that habit they can be so much more materially impactful on your business and so just thinking about it that way and breaking it down in a way that sort of it. Maybe it seems a little bit simplistic. Ah, but even that can be difficult to execute on you can think about you know. Just for 1 campaign getting somebody from 1 to second purchase sorry from first to second purchase maybe you got to do a drip series of 3 outreaches and so to me getting back to your original question I think social media can be excellent for acquiring. 20:46.52vigorbrandingAnd who. 20:47.48Emily New customers. You can build like lookalike campaigns based on your existing customers that are really high value. You can build that lookalike campaign and try to acquire more customers like them I think social media can be excellent at that once you get into the lifecycle. Thinking about well what’s their preference. Maybe they’ve signed up to receive sms you want to use sms with that person. Maybe there’s somebody who said no I don’t want to engage on Sms you can use email so it really just depends. But I tend to think of social media as being a little bit more about acquisition. 21:12.60vigorbrandingAnd. 21:19.41Emily Email marketing being a little bit more about people who have opted in and said yes I want to receive emails from you. 21:23.40vigorbrandingvery cool. very cool it was funny last week I was speaking to a bunch of folks and we talk about they asked me to speak on food trends and we’ve been doing this trends presentation for 15 years and you know I looked back and I always like to look back see these trends that we predicted things that we talked about. 21:39.26Emily Are. 21:41.63vigorbrandingAre they relevant how did they evolve and in the very beginning I mean like twelve thirteen years ago the phones and everything were so new that it was like well we can tell people where your restaurant is like it was a big deal like ooh people can find me now and you know and that’s obviously just so so primitive at this point. And now it’s like it slides all the way up to say like food talk and everything else. So everybody wants to see the restaurant. They want to see everything about it. The food being made all the different things. Everything’s at our fingertips I mean and you you talk about the segmentation which is really super smart going back like the metrics have changed right? It used to be just about getting likes or or impressions. 21:59.90Emily Yeah. 22:16.11vigorbrandingSo you’re talking about all this all these conversions and you know marking dollars are finite. How are you making those conversions easier or at least more affordable to achieve how how is thanks helping with that. 22:18.70Emily Are. 22:27.11Emily Ah, yeah I mean that’s a big question. There’s a lot of different ways. Um I would say what you’re really talking about is like how do you justify the ah roi of a solution like things and um Roi is a pretty complex. 22:44.47Emily Calculation because there are so many different mechanisms to drive revenue and there’s so many opportunities to save costs. Um I think the obvious one is around you know revenue from spend or frequency lift from Loyalty members. Um. 22:57.97vigorbrandingWho. 23:03.12Emily We do a really good job of getting customers to sign up for loyalty as I mentioned and so if you think about there’s a metric called participation rate or capture rate which is essentially the percentage of revenue attributable to a loyalty member and that rate. Tends to be in like the 5 to 10 percent range for most restaurants we drive 30% in six months and that is through a variety of levers. But think of we don’t require you to download an app to participate in loyalty. We do a proprietary card linked. Ah tokenization which allows us to track purchases through credit card swipes instead of through you know these jumping through hoops that I was referring to earlier the combination of those things allow us to drive enrollment in. 23:48.60vigorbrandingUm. 23:56.36Emily I guess the the other one is we optimize digital ordering for loyalty as well. So that everyone who places places an order online is enrolled into loyalty and those things allow us to see something like 10 to 15 times the enrollment of our competitors and. That combined with of course the frequency lift. You’re going to see with any good loyalty program that you know have a bigger audience or are sort of more pool of revenue that can be influenced because you have the better capture rates and then of course you’re going to see the frequency and spend lift on top of that. So that’s like the primary one that’s kind of the obvious one. Um. With a more modern ordering ah user experience. You’re going to see higher order conversion rates. We see order conversion rates in like the eighty to ninety five percent range which is insane. 24:42.70vigorbrandingAh. 24:47.52vigorbrandingUm, right. 24:48.30Emily You also know you you’re driving people online people spend more when they’re online and so there’s going to be a natural lift from just driving more people into ordering. We talked about the cost savings from moving folks over from third party delivery over to first-part delivery one I I can’t remember if we talked about this at. Or not but just the cost savings from the removal of generic and unnecessary discounting. We see brands who are in like the 5% even like the 8 % discount range which is whoops which is quite a bit. A lot of our customers are in like the 1 to 2% effective Discount range. So that’s a huge area where you can see improved roi cost savings on campaigns obviously with a b testing things like that and then I think one that’s a little bit tougher to measure but is absolutely material is just the amount of time you’re saving for people who are not having to do as manual of. 25:23.63vigorbrandingAnd. 25:41.10Emily Ah, lift from a you know marketing perspective. 25:44.42vigorbrandingYeah, well I loved reading about your company I was impressed by the whole idea of ah trying to avoid the discounts for the loyalty all the time I mean let’s face it I mean giving people a discount is just that it’s cutting into their it’s cutting into their overhead their profit and everything else. So it’s great that you can just kind of keep them back and then the customer value. 25:51.48Emily Um, ah. 25:57.39Emily It’s. 26:02.22Emily O. 26:02.33vigorbrandingLifetime customer value the loyalty bringing them back over and over again 4 times. Ah, really obviously increases that we were talking to a restaurant last week at really nice restaurant. Really good revenues. Um, but they really weren’t getting people to do repeat visits. It was they were too infrequent. Ah. Actually maybe we should recommend your program I mean it’s ah it’s definitely. Ah, it’s definitely something they need because there’s nothing wrong with the restaurant. You know I mean it wasn’t the prices weren’t too high. The the quality of food was fantastic. Um, they just were not getting lots of repeat I think there’s a lot of competition in that marketplace. 26:20.11Emily Ah, oh please. 26:25.92Emily Her. Yeah. 26:35.45vigorbrandingAnd maybe people are just going around but a loyalty program I think would help them ensure that second that third and then on on and on and on visits. So I think that’s great. 26:38.58Emily Who. 26:44.34Emily Yeah I was actually just talking to Rob Ertman from mobatas he’s the Ceo of mobeters I was talking to him a couple of days ago and I was asking him for a case study about his. Ah, loyalty program and I couldn’t believe that words that were coming out of his mouth because it was exactly what me as a marketer wants to hear in terms of like trying to write a case study. He’s seen 7 straight months of positive same store sales comps and that is in light of the fact that they’re growing super rapidly. So there’s some cannibalization of existing sales that’s happening he had. 27:12.21vigorbrandingIn here. 27:16.70Emily 15 x increase in enrollment in 1 year versus his previous program which he had had for 5 years and they had seen almost immediately upon transitioning to thanks and actually their online ordering provider olo a 30% increase in digital sales and this was literally like he was just telling me this stuff. And I was of course like furiously writing it down as quickly as I possibly could that like you can’t argue with those results. He attributes a lot of that success to the partnership with thanks which of course we really appreciate but you know in reality it can be hard sometimes to measure. Um. 27:40.68vigorbrandingAh, yeah, it’s great. 27:52.61Emily You know how do you know? if you’re increasing customer lifetime value. How do you know? if you’re increasing frequency right? because it’s it’s heavily biased by how many new stores you’re opening and how many new purchasers are in there and so just being able to sort of relate it back to the real metrics that matter those same store sales comps et cetera that that was really powerful to me and you know. 27:58.41vigorbrandingWhoop right. 28:11.76Emily We of course would love referral over to whoever you were speaking with, but we do genuinely believe in the power of doing loyalty correctly and you know that that’s what gets me excited Obviously as I talk about this. 28:20.65vigorbrandingAbsolutely yeah, it’s great. Yeah, you’re passionate about it’s awesome I mean look let’s face it as marketers we get blamed for everything goes wrong. So when they when things finally go right? We’re allowed to take some credit I mean we deserve some credit there. So I’d get that guy on video and use that as a case study and have it in his words I’d be pushing that out to everybody. So I’m sure good. Yeah yeah I mean nothing sounds better than coming out of the you know the person’s mouth so that’s that’s awesome. 28:39.74Emily Ah, you can find it on our website now but I didn’t do a video I I probably should have ah maybe that’s the next thing. 28:48.57Emily Absolutely absolutely. 28:50.87vigorbrandingSo when we talk about these these these potential these well not potential, but the restaurant does it work for a single location restaurant white tablecloth is it. 10 locations is it a hundred I mean how scalable like talk about your sweet spot. 29:05.63Emily Yep, excuse me. Um our service is scalable and it can benefit multi-unit restaurants from I would say like 5 location establishments up to the biggest of the big chains. Yeah. 29:14.91vigorbrandingGot you very cool, very cool. Um, so like what’s next for. Thanks I Mean do you have anything new. You know it’s deep. It’s it’s it’s a tech so you guys are always working and and and rethinking and and recalibrating what’s what’s next is there anything you can talk tell us about. 29:28.37Emily Yes, we are very fastmoving I think we did one hundred and twenty five customer-facing releases last year alone and so there are lots and lots of things that we’re working on I know our our product and engineering teams work really hard which I appreciate. It’s a marketer because it gives me lots of cool stuff to talk about. Um. 29:33.70vigorbrandingWell. 29:44.52Emily The the big one that’s top of mind for me that I’m currently working on is the launch of a new capability which will allow brands right in the thanks Dashboard in real time to make an insane level of customization to their app experiences. So we already have we call it a ah cms a content management system. 30:01.31vigorbrandingTo have. 30:04.42Emily Which allows restaurants to you know interact with and change the user experience of the mobile mobile app right? from our dashboard we’re making that 10 times more customizable say so a lot of times brands are forced to make this choice between you know, either. They have to have a you know they they have to go with the branded app that’s available from the loyalty provider which is really inflexible or they have to pay for a custom app experience that costs a fortune and takes months to update anytime you want to make a change to it so this is basically going to help brands who. 30:30.83vigorbrandingDay. 30:42.57Emily To solve that problem without the expense and so we’re going to add a ton of customizability think about the styling like the way that you know the sweetgreens app looks with the drop shadows and the little refinements around the edges and just those nuances that make the mobile experience just feel. 31:01.57vigorbrandingUm, sure Yeah, that’s great word. 31:02.20Emily More modern and you know for lack of a better word sexier and so I’m really excited about this where yeah we’re we’re sort of enabling all of that through our dashboards which you know I I know that restaurants are gonna be really excited about because it’s It’s a reflection of their brand which is super important. 31:20.63vigorbrandingVery cool. Well Emily you’re fantastic I have ah 1 last question for you if you had 1 final meal. What would you eat where and why. 31:32.17Emily Um, I’m terrible at questions like this I’m sorry I’m okay at talking about marketing and thanks but terrible questions. It’s because I can’t make up my mind I love food and I yeah it’s like trying to narrow it down. So I I I think I would have to say um, some sort of tapas. 31:48.12vigorbrandingUm, nice. Yeah, it’s gonna say you know to make your decision here. It’s perfect. You covered everything that’s awesome. Well well this is great Emily is there anything else, you’d like to talk about any us you want to cover here I mean this is a great ah overview of the company what you’re doing. It’s ah it’s quite impressive. 31:49.72Emily Restaurant like a Spanish Spanish topist restaurant where I can get like a bunch of little small plates and not have to make up my mind. Yeah. 32:08.60vigorbrandingAnd ah, you know, really really? ah, really happy. We’re on the show. 32:10.42Emily Yeah, Thank you so much for having me. Um I Guess the last thing I would say is if you’re interested in talking about any of this stuff I Obviously love to talk about it happy to chat. So you can reach out and we have a you know form on our website where you can learn more about thanks and so you know. Let us know and we’re here to chat. 32:32.30vigorbrandingFantastic. Well thank you so much Emily we will ah certainly be in touch right? Bye bye. 32:34.91Emily Sounds great. Thank you.

2021.06.25-0176 - Writing A Script To Be TranslatedWriting a script that's to be translatedForeign languages may be, literally, all Greek to you, in which case don't rely on auto-translators. They're increasingly accurate but they miss the nuance of a language, and you could end up being an ‘idiom idiot'.Instead hire a professional translator who's not only studied that second language but also has ‘lived it' and knows how it's spoken in real life in that country – a native speaker perhaps. That way you will avoid literalisations – there are dozens of examples on the internet.Translation is different from localisationTranslation is the basic conversion of a script from one language to another. Localisation involves customisation not only for everyday speech, but also for the specific target audience. Not all languages are structured grammatically like English, so customisation would consider linguistic nuances such as cultural conventions, how the ‘official' language is spoken in that geographical region (or country – ‘Spanish Spanish' is different from ‘Mexican Spanish' for example, and that would also affect pronunciation), conversational turns of phrase and so on, but also the demographic of the audience. For example, is the commercial extoling the virtues of the new car to a family audience, a business person or a fleet buyer. The structure of a sentences may need to be changed depending on the social conventions of the target audience. The nuances used in your original, own-language script will be targeted correctly, but a literal translation may lead to rejection and possible reputational damage, so the more you're able to literally and figuratively, “speak their language”, the more likely it is that you will succeed.==Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter StewartThrough these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection and projection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a career spent in TV and radio studios.

Find Kelly on Facebook at Fairyland Confections.TRANSCRIPTIONThis is Changing the rules, a podcast about designing the life you want to live, hosted by KC Dempster and Ray Loewe, the luckiest guy in the world.KC Dempster  0:13  Good morning, everybody.Ray Loewe  0:17  Good morning. You're waiting for me? Yes, IKC Dempster  0:21  Well, you were so busy leading the chorus. I wanted to welcome everybody to Changing the Rules. This is KC Dempster. And we are experiencing what many schoolchildren would have been over the moon about, but I don't know how many actually are getting a snow day today because of the ability to homeschool. But it's it's a challenge. And we're all in our toasty warm homes and welcome, Ray.Ray Loewe  0:51  Well, you know, I was watching television the other night, and this, this actually relates to our guest today. Okay. But there was a song that they were airing where they had all these kids singing, there's no school tomorrow. Yeah, great song. Okay,KC Dempster  1:07  I know, it gets stuck in my head every time I hear it.Ray Loewe  1:11  mood changes and stuff like that. And, and now we don't get that anymore. It's it's part of this virus stuff. Because you never stop going to school, whether they like it or not. And the advantages are there. And the disadvantages are there. But hey, kids, that's what you got to put up with in life as we grow old right?KC Dempster  1:33  Well, you know, they all love their technology. You know, there's a good side and a bad side, I guess you could say.Ray Loewe  1:39  Yeah, so we have a great guest today. And, you know, we're kind of going back to our theme last year here, where we're talking about, you know, getting smacked in this change. I think one of our previous podcast people, Kevin Davis was referring to the bubble of chaos that, that we've all been thrown in and, and all of a sudden, the things that were there are not there anymore. So I want to bring on to the show a young lady, her name is Kelly Lyons. Okay. And and you can get an idea of her character when you see that her email address, says something lioness.com Okay, you know, so there's something feral about this, this person here. But Kelly has a really interesting career and, and it has nothing to do. Well, maybe it has something to do it really nothing to do with what you're doing now. Is that right, Kelly?Kelly Lyons  2:42  Very little to do. You know, I've definitely rode the wave of whatever was coming at me. I kind of tried to follow inspiration. This time. I didn't guide it at all.Ray Loewe  2:54  Well, that that's the story we want to tell. But let's give a little background first, because you grew up in this area in the Delaware Valley. Right?Kelly Lyons  3:02  I did.Ray Loewe  3:03  And then you found your way to Hollywood. And we we were told we can't get you to tell Hollywood Stories. So we're like, okay, but what did you do in Hollywood? Because it kind of fits your own career.Kelly Lyons  3:17  It does. I, I was a science consultant and a set decorator for 20th Century Fox Television. So I worked on a TV show called Angel which was a spin off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So very iconic. I worked for Joss Whedon. And now he's a household name. But I you know, I was with him and worked with him. I worked for Mutant Enemy and 20th Century Fox and I had a wonderful time doing that, and met a lot of great people and did a lot of fun, fun stuff.Ray Loewe  3:47  Okay, and then you came back here, and you got into the education business. So what were you doing?Kelly Lyons  3:55  Well, when I first came back from Hollywood, I actually taught science in North Philadelphia while I was getting my master's degree, and I got my masters in the business of education, which is kind of funny. And so then I stopped teaching science at a position opened up at the Garden State Discovery Museum. And I went to be the director of the museum in 2004. So...okay.Ray Loewe  4:25  And there your primary function. You describe this Discovery Museum, because it's an interesting concept. And it kind of sets the stage for where you are, which makes your transformation even more amazing.Kelly Lyons  4:39  Well, it was kind of funny, the museum. The museum was very unique. The Garden State Discovery Museum is a children's museum, which now is kind of a household name, but the Garden State Discovery Museum is actually 26 years old and at the time, that it came to be, it was a very unique idea. It was there was only about 25 Children's museums in the whole country and the Garden State Discovery Museum started, actually as a small business and not a nonprofit. And so it broke the doors off of every museum model that anyone was ever aware of. They worked with the Small Business Development Center at Rutgers and it was owned by two women. And so it was it was a lot of groundbreaking, and concept. And then since then, you know, there's 300 - 400 Children's Museum now, children's museums now in the world. We'll see after this bubble of chaos, how many are left. But you know, I had some great opportunities with that company, I actually went to Turkey and consulted on the very first Children's Museum and opened the first Children's Museum in Turkey and assemble, opened it as a business with two women who wanted to start a children's museum. In Turkey. I consulted on a project in India as well for a children's museum in a mall in India. So I've had a lot of fun and a lot of very unique business experience, as well as just you know, out of the box thinking, very different kind of corporate world. So that's amazing.Ray Loewe  6:12  All of a sudden, now, okay. You're the rules changed,Kelly Lyons  6:18  the rules changed,Ray Loewe  6:19  the rules changed. And one day, you're director of this museum The next day, the museum didn't exist anymore.Kelly Lyons  6:27  That's right. That's exactly right. Yeah, one day I had 165 employees and basically the next day I had zero.Ray Loewe  6:36  Okay, so so most people here would sit at home and cry a lot. Okay, and hide a lot. And you didn't do that. So you created from nothing out of this bubble of chaos, a new life for yourself in effect. Right? And give us give us a little background about what it is you're doing, how you describe yourself where you're going? And then you know one of the other things that I'll give them the hint is that part of this is you learned how to make bombsKelly Lyons  7:09  I didRay Loewe  7:11  okay, hold on, we're not being destructive, but we'll get into the positives. Okay, all right, so Kelly, the bomb maker tell us about what you're doing.Kelly Lyons  7:20  So you know, we're talking about we're now what home 11 months 12 months now almost i was i was done work on March 17. Which, you know, I'm Irish, so that sounded fine to me at the time. It was St. Patrick's Day that the museum was it was done. But I really thought we were gonna be closed for two weeks not you know, not gone. So you know, there was a lot of introspection, there was a lot of looking into different industries that were coming up at the time, the thing that I've learned at the museum being out of the box and I've gotten to mentor some women entrepreneurs and and talk business plans and really and develop a few different companies through the museum and so I really love that part. I love the development of creation new things happening you know, kind of you know what's going to happen next and and so instead of crying and hiding Ray, I decided to really enjoy the time at home with myself my son and because I hadn't been home and I've never been home ever like this so this was a new thing for me. So I just kind of started looking into a way to use my creative energy and I started tooling with a few things and I landed very squarely in October in chocolate bombs not on purpose I was actually just wanted to play around with them saw them on Pinterest I has wanted to make some and I made some for my friends and I gave them out as Halloween gifts to like my nieces and next thing I know people were they were so excited by them they were videotaping their kids having chocolate bombs and putting them on Facebook and tagging me and next thing I know people are Can you make these for me? Can I buy these from you? Do you make these for a living? How many can I get? Can you make them this way? Can you make them that way? So it became it came it became an entity of its very own which went from sure I can make these for you and oh no problem I can deliver to between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I made over 4000 chocolate bombs which was way too many for anyone to make in a month but it was very it was amazing. The this what what what happened at that? Yeah.KC Dempster  9:37  I was just gonna say I think for the for our listeners their imagination about what a chocolate bomb is must be running wild from like chocolate coming down the walls. So Kelly, describe for us what your chocolate bombs actually are.Kelly Lyons  9:53  Actually, if you're right, I'm sorry, I should have prefaced by that. It's a hollow chocolate ball. It's about two and a half inches sphere, you know, a little bit like probably the size of a baseball, and it's hollow. And on the inside of the chocolate bomb is cocoa powder and marshmallows. And so you put the bomb in the bottom of a mug, and then you pour hot milk over top of it. And it melts and bursts open with all the marshmallows and all the marshmallows rise to the top and then you stir it up and it's it's hot chocolate.KC Dempster  10:30  It's ChocolateRay Loewe  10:33  is what it is. And that's different. Okay, let me let me regress a little bit because you blew the image of the bomber. Okay, you know, you had to fess up and, you know, chocolate bombs, you know, what can I tell you? But there are a couple of things here. Kelly is one of our luckiest people in the world. There's no question about it. And, and if you look at some of the things that she's done, you can see. So first of all, she's living her life on her own terms. Now, maybe she didn't always do that. But the circumstances changed. And she was able to just totally redesign her own life. Okay. And part of that is you deals well with rules, so somebody changed the rules on her, so she didn't just succumb to the new rules tree. You know, she's social distancing, I'm sure, you know, she's doing this at home or in her kitchen. And so that there's, she's, she's playing by those rules that are important, but you change the ones that matter to her, she's not going to get constrained to be forced to live somebody else's life. And one of the things that, that she found is the luckiest people in the world always find a positive solution of everything. You know, and you had to look for it a little bit, right. But you know, it was there.elly Lyons  11:55  I really embraced the quarantine Actually, I really enjoyed it. I have to say, there was no way I was gonna, you know, I really didn't, I didn't want it to destroy my life. And I was really excited to see what was going to happen next. And being somebody who's a creative person. The thing about major change. My favorite thing about major change is seeing everything that comes next. What happens now what's going to happen now and as much as there's a bubble of chaos right now for everybody. I'm loving to see what's developing out of this. You know, it's happened all over the world all through history. What's going to happen next, what happened after World War One what happened after World War two? What happened after the Spanish Spanish flu? What happened in industry? What rose to the occasion? I'm very interested in that.Ray Loewe  12:41  And what better than chocolate bombs?Kelly Lyons  12:45  The end of the day, chocolateKC Dempster  12:49  In addition, in addition to the chocolate bombs, Kelly has some Valentine's Day specials, these breakable hearts, which if you go to her website page or on Facebook, and it's called Fairyland confections. And if you go there, you can see all of the products. One of the chocolate bombs is made to look like a panda. Panda Bear, not Panda, polar bear. And I just think it's the cutest thing. But these these breakable hearts are fascinating because you say people can purchase them already filled or they can sell them themselves. So how does how does that work?Kelly Lyons  13:26  So they're actually just the top of the heart and it goes down onto a cake board and they're about eight inches wide. Now. I thought they were supposed to be sealed too. But then everybody kept saying oh, no, you can just sell them just the top and then people can. So the pert the first person who asked me to make a breakable heart is a newlywed. It's their first Valentine's together. He's putting jewelry and love letters in it. He just wanted the top and I said all right, no problem. So they're doing very well. I don't know if it's an aggressive thing or again, Ray is an activity that people are really embracing but it's just you when you take a lobster hammer hammer and you whack open this this chocolate heart to see what's inside.Ray Loewe  14:08  Well, I think there's more to it than that. I mean, it kind of started with this idea about building bombs, okay, and and expanding it, but I think you do some other things with it. So you create events for other people.Kelly Lyons  14:22  I love to do that. That was probably my favorite thing to do.Ray Loewe  14:26  Okay, so talk about some of the events that you're helping people create with chocolate bars.Kelly Lyons  14:32  Okay, well, you know I did. They had a drive by baby shower for somebody. So the mother reached out to me and asked me to do the favors for her drive by baby shower, which were strawberry and cream. It was a baby girl. So she, we did that. But this Friday Whistlers inn in cinnaminson is having a polar Party, which I think is like such a great idea. They're going to use their outdoor dining space and they're just going to let the heaters run and they're going to have a polar party. And so I reached out and said, Hey, I make hot chocolate bombs in the shape of polar bears. Do you guys want those? And they said, Yes, we definitely want those. So they're gonna add Kahlua, or vodka or whatever you want to those, those bombs. And so they're super excited about that. And this weekend, I have an open house at grazing goat farm, so they'll have all kinds of stuff there. And I'm also working on gender reveal cocoa bombs withRay Loewe  15:29  what's in it in blue or pink?Kelly Lyons  15:31  Yep, they're pink and blue. So it's either a girl or boy, they have to tell me what I'm making but they won't know until it pops open. What's in the belly? And that one's a bear too, but he's a brown bear.Ray Loewe  15:45  Couple of things. Number one, you went from running a children's museum to how does one begin a career in crafting chocolate?Kelly Lyons  15:55  I you know, this is one of those things where you I I didn't plan it. I had no idea it was gonna happen. I've always worked around and with food. My mother's a chef, my parents owned restaurants. I love to work with food. I love to have people at my house. I love to entertain. I love to make dinners. I love to make things and drop them off to people. I've been doing that my whole life and that's really how the chocolate bomb started. I saw them on Pinterest. I made them and drop them off at peoples houses. I just didn't know that it was gonna take gotta get the legs that it got I had no I was I had no idea.Ray Loewe  16:29  Okay, so is there an end to this? Or do we just have chocolate bars forevermore?Kelly Lyons  16:34  I you know, I now I have kind of come up with this new concept for the company and I named it you know, I called it Fairyland Confections. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna be very transparent about that there. I am not a chocolatier. So the reason it was even called Fairyland Confections is because my decorations are a little crazy. And the reason the decorations are so crazy is because sometimes my chocolate has holes in it and has divots in it and because I'm not a chocolatier, so I had to cover it with a lot of icing and throw a bunch of stuff on top. So I thought, you know what, I'm gonna I'm gonna make this a thing we're gonna call it Fairyland confections like the fairies took over the piping bag and the decorations and and then with that, you know, I have I'm hoping that at some point, I may open it a Fairyland cafe because that that's definitely because I do unicorn bombs and, and, you know, I like sparkles. I mean, I always tell everybody when there's sadness in the world, and they try to talk to me about it. I say, you know what, I really only deal in rainbows and unicorns. That's really my thing. I've always been that way. I like to keep it I like to keep the vibration high. And you know, I like I like stuff like that. So I'm hoping that we may be able to make Fairyland Confections and actual cafe and I'm working on tea bombs. Oh,you'll love those KC, they are a clear sugar ball with the tea bags inside and flower like edible flowers. They're beautiful. Oh, cool. That will be spring. So.Ray Loewe  18:09  Okay, so we have the ability to do hot chocolate do can we do like alcoholic beverages and stuff like that. Now, you indicated, we're gonna do that this weekend. So what do you do just put the Bailey's, you just put whatever the confection is on the inside?Kelly Lyons  18:28  I could do it on the inside. I'm having a logistical issue with this. But how Whistlers is going to do it is they're going to have the mug they're going to pour the kalua or the Bailey's or whatever, they're gonna pour the shot into the bottom of the mug. Set the polar bear on top and then pour the hot milk over top of them. Because my problem is, is when you put the alcohol in the bomb, which I can, it dissolves the marshmallows. Marshmallows, I have to figure out a way to make half of it filled with alcohol and half of the marshmallows kind of in the top and then seal it together so that it doesn't mess up the marshmallows.Ray Loewe  19:06  Who would have thunk that Marshmallows would do that.Kelly Lyons  19:10  So yes, I mean, I've made rumchata for my friends, but I didn't put the Mark I did we put the marshmallows in it, but then by the time we put the bomb in that there was no marshmallow.Ray Loewe  19:19  Okay, let's talk about some of the creativity that people can do here. So, so there is no reason you're sitting at home today. And you have these people getting tired of zoom calls, right? Yeah. So what if we just sent out a whole bunch of cocoa bombs to people, and we had a cocoa Salute on zoom, right?Kelly Lyons  19:44  It's a good idea. You can either add or add some alcohol to it. Whatever you want to do.Ray Loewe  19:50  So so people can take this concept of yours the sugar, sugar concept sugar is always a good thing. And and and do creative things. And and the idea the parties creating the parties and creating themed parties. And I love the baby reveal one.Kelly Lyons  20:08  Oh, yeah, that's gonna be.Ray Loewe  20:11  And then what happens if the baby comes out to be the opposite of what everybody predicted?Kelly Lyons  20:16  I'm not making the call. They're telling me what the doctor said.KC Dempster  20:24  Yeah, I'm sure it has happened in the past.Ray Loewe  20:31  Or the end of our timeframe work here. But let's recap on a couple things. So. So Kelly is one of our luckiest people in the world. Okay, and we know that because she is creating her own life, and she's moving forward in and ignoring the bubble of chaos. Right. Okay. The creativity that that you hear is interesting, I guess, in totally unique and different. But it's the concept of creating the events out of it that I think is really where the edge is. And so we have the ability to order these things, and ship them to our friends. And we can do that and the website we put on our podcast notes. But what is the website again?KC Dempster  21:16  It's in Facebook, and it's Fairyland Confections. Really easy to find.Ray Loewe  21:24  Okay, yeah. And do you have any other words of wisdom for those who are caught in the bubble of chaos, or those of us who are just chocoholics, or those of us who want to make bombs?Kelly Lyons  21:40  I would say yeah, me here. Here's my words of wisdom. take a little time to quiet your mind. And don't overthink things and next thing you know the answers coming.KC Dempster  21:52  That's very wise, very sage. ThankKelly Lyons  21:56  Follow your joy, follow your joy. Next thing you know, everything works out just fine.Ray Loewe  21:59  It follow your joy. And with that, there's nothing else to say is there?Kelly Lyons  22:03  that's it, follow your joy.Ray Loewe  22:04  So join us. Next week. We'll have another intriguing gush. Look up Kelly on her Facebook thing, and eat, well drink chocolate in thisKelly Lyons  22:18  way. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate that. Thanks, Kelly.

really but I understandwhat the pressure was I start to gothrough it so I'm still living at hometraveling to London every day and justdidn't feel like I fit in they're alwayscomparing myself to others that I wasn'tgood enough to be there and then Istarted getting suicidal food so I standon train tracks and my mind we kill himto jump and yeah I in my mind I've - Iknow myself cuz I've never had thosethoughts before and I'm in the past I'venever when I've heard people who commitsuicide or taken her own life I've neverunderstood it but in that moment and nowI've been through it that's the onlyplace you see confort is by not beinghere not being with your mindWow is that is that kind of a thing thatyou've you've convinced yourself that itwould just be better off yeah a hundredpercent it's like you explore differentoptions so when I start to feel anxiousor when I'm gonna extremely the prostateI start to looklook at the fact that across the greenon the other side so I was at UCO and Iwas saying to my momI'm gonna quit I'm just gonna get jobI'm gonna apply to a different Union I'mgonna do this I'm gonna do that I alwaystry and wash one away because then allthat anxiety all that all that hurt willbe gone and over you place intosomething new so that's the first time Istarted seeing a counselor Britt at UCoh and while I was at UCL I write toanother university again seeing that thegrass is green on the other side justwant to get out of it so I startedstudying for my exams at UCL it's aboutApril time and then I've gotconfirmation that I was given anotherplace at Royal Holloway University I'vebeen sorry okay and I thought to myselfyou know what it's not worth the toiletturn won't burn through I'd literallywrite vice for all my exams the weekly Iwas gonna sit there but I decided that'sit I'm not sitting them because I justwant this this kind of cloud to be overso I quit or I gave up UCL andstraightaway I just felt that count hasbeen liftedI felt so good then I was like you knowwhat this is what I need like my nextuniversity is gonna be amazing I'm gonnafind so yeah that summer was great andthen September moved up to roll away tostop my new course and in the same thingstarted comparing myself to others newsituation a lot of social anxiety Ididn't go out a lot in my first year andlike I'd hear people in the kitchendrinking and stuff and I just be in myroomjust with my own thoughts Wow and I'mglad today I have amazing friends andamazing flat I'm still in touch with andthat's friends with your good may aswellfears off so she helped me through a loteven if she doesn't know it and bygetting my first year of uni I wasthinking I need to apply to another uniit's gonna be better on the other side Ineed to take my course something to dothis I applied for a job and luckily youknow I was convinced to stay I lost myfirst year went on to the second yearand that is the biggest term like mylife is the second year I just spiraledout of control just in myselfamong thoughts just not being able tocall or be in social situations withpeople my first day my room up my mum mysister would always come and visit me tomake sure I was okay because they wereextremely worried about me of courselike I used to lock myself in my roomthen and research how to end my lifebecause it's the only way I can see anend to it and I knew how wrong that thatwas and the the only thing that stoppedme from ever doing it then was yes myfamily like what we do to them but I'mactually getting emotional saying thissorry man please take your timebut yeah the most it's really silly butthe thing that stopped me was I wouldn'tend my life right and my parent wouldhave to look after me and like her in astate where I think people looking aftermyself yeah sorry man no no I can onlyimagine what what you're going throughbecause my level of desire is nothingcompared to your level of depression andwe spoke briefly before we had thisinterview that you know it took the best8 years of my mom's life away and Ithink unless you live with somebodywho's going through or somebody it's sodifficult because from the surface Imean you look at your Instagram you lookat yeah the way the way you conductyourself your poetry which you're goinglater on in the interview it's just likethis kind of depression you know youjust know isn't no more that is itnormally is somebody you can relate tobut it's it's amazing how some it's notsomething so simple but something likeyour mind can just completely just yetturn your world upside down and it's oneof my favorite quotes ever and Iprobably say to myself at least six orseven times a week not because I do itbut because it just helps with thingsinto perspective and it's comparison isthe thief of joy you said that you hadins ie from a very young age and I meanI'm 32 now and I'm kind of peeling backthe onion layers using an analogy ofwhen I started getting anxiety and Ithink yes having reflected and lookingback at myself I'm able to find certainmoments in my life like when I was sixor seven I was atshit I was actually quite anxious thenand then maybe that's really kind ofsnowboard have you been able to in yourcurrent situation not be able to lookback and find these key triggers or haveyou always just known yourself to beanxious no a hundred percent if I knewone who I knew now about myself I couldhave controlled a lot of what happenedto me and not let it happencould you elaborate so my anxieties mycatalysts are changed like newsituations where that's a new job newUniversity a new subject I'm studyinguncertainty so I'm a perfectionist as Isaid before I used to put myself into mywork and just try and excel at that soif I'm not the best at something I startto get anxious might sound stupid butthat's just the way I am so it's notstupidso you've always had this in psyche yeahand now you knowing what you know nowyou've said you can obviously look backand think I could have changed stuffwhat kind of things I mean I'm thinkingpractical things here for somebody who'smaybe a little bit younger thanourselves who's going through thismoment they're just constantly anxioushave changed like yourself and being inthese kind of environments what wouldyou kind of say to them now the onenumber one thing does has helped me themost about anything is talking about itso talking about how you feel because Iwould often just keep everything balledup inside me and whereas today I'm openas hell honesty oh are you guys to swearon this podcast may you can do whateveryou want thank fuck for that that's finesome people might not like that but youknow sometimes it's one of the only waysyou can express it sometimes one or twoepisodes myself sonot a problem mate so yes second year ofuniversity extremely down I went to sawa doctor there who prescribed me afterdepressants and I'm back then I hadnever taken a tablet in my life not evena paracetamol just nothing I was justagainst putting foreign substances in mybody so I got prescribed down to theirpresence I went and got them but I didnot take them and I came back home forChristmas and I was just so so bad oneday my dad leave she just got me in thecar drove me off the sorry and when hemom didn't say hello to any of myhousematesjust went in my drawer guys I depresswe drove all the way back home to NorthLondon and I started taking them andthey helped me massively they're therethey're a tool for helping you they'renot a magic pill that's gonna makeeverything go away could you have to putyou have to put other things in yourlife that's gonna help you get throughbut they definitely help just balanceout the chemicals in your brain and theway you think think mm-hmm and so Istarted taking them must I've seen atherapist as well and then I startedgoing to the gym again so I was injuredat the time I got really depressed theymy substitute but I had a fun injuryokay that's unique yeah so I couldn'treally lift weights and so as soon asthat healed in the new year that's likea gym again I started feeling good Istopped them seeing my therapist eventhough he advised me to carry on and Ifinished my second year third year wasgreat really enjoyed it when I almost Ihad finished uni over to 1/2 percent offat first which again I beat myself upagain about don't beat yourself up todayI by the time I was in tears thatliterally so fun and and then yeahapplied for a job took me eight monthsto get a job and I had no idea what todo with my life was planned foreverything in anythink mmmgot over Owen into accountancy and thenstart here and then things that Ispiralling down again so and evenprobably even deeper depression I had inmy second year and the extreme thatsuicidal thoughts I just didn't knowwhat I want to do with my lifeespecially working full-time andstudying and studying for something youdidn't you didn't really want like Ididn't know if I wanted to be anaccountant up in all this effort into itwhat am i what am i giving to otherpeople what I'm given to the world bybeing an accountantthat's just how and I just didn't see medoing anything else so I I said to mymom not gonna quit and the Khan teachI'm gonna quit and do this and quit anddo that and my mom bless her she she'shelping me a lot but I know howfrustrating it is she understands fullyjohnstad 3 but I know how frustrating isto try and help someone who nothingseems to help themselves and you can seethe same things happening again in termsyou wanted to just change again to a newsituationso I stopped taking as the presents whenI was at Union swell after that Sigmaperiod and I was at work I cited themagain I'm slicing the therapist againand a major thing that helped me getthrough if I did not do this I would nothave qualified to try to count and I maynot be alive today I'm being honest withyou I told him what I told myself aboutmy depression so I went spokes inmanagers I went spoke the partners inthe firm and they were so so good aboutit honestlythat's brilliant like they helped memassively they put things in place forme and I felt I could go and talk topeople about it more mm-hm so yeah itwas tough as hell and I qualified aboutthis December just gone so I'm currentlyin the process of coming up mad for thepresents fantasticI'll be off them in about two weeks I'vedefinitely felt some side effects butthey start to wear off and I'm feelinggood about life now and the mostimportant thing about anything thatbeing through mum I don't like to usethe word happy up being through it I'mkind of I'm glad for which taught me andso six months ago if I was doing thispodcast review I know I was in tears alittle bit before but I would not beable to talk about this with withanybody whereas now I don't give a fuckI put it on Instagram I talk abouttrying to speaking about their feelingsespecially especially as a man today inthe society there's so much manypressures a lot of stance what about 100percent mate it's a it's an ego maybesurprise thing I don't know what it iswith guys we don't realize thatvulnerability is actually a truestrength and I spoke about thispreviously again I'd recommend if youcan listen to Lewis Howes I think he'sgot a book the mask of masculinity andit's a fantastic book because I think asguys you're doing something there thatis something that we don't do and I'mnot stereotyping it but how many of usreally talk about stuff when we feel ohbecause it's a bravado thing isn't it wecan't show weakness we can't show thatwe're feeling down or low and I thinkthe reason I was really interested ingetting you on this show is or becauseyou've touched on something there so wespoke about the social enterprise thatI'm working on with mywe're going to get back to mental healthand awareness the first question askedthough was what do you want like if weraise awareness is it money is it likematerialistic things what kind of thingswould make you guys feel better and shesays somebody should talk to you andthat brings us to the whole thing thatwe spoke about prior to this episode isI'm gonna open up just centers I'm gonnahire them for the day get people who aregoing through it people who haveovercome it to just maybe talk about itand I know that might sound like such asimple thing from the outside but you'vetouched on it now as wellthe world needs to speak it's thesimplest of things look us I say toeveryone I don't see anxiety as anillness this is my this is my personalopinion yeah everyone has anxiety butjust different levels of a spectrumdepression is the lowest of the low thusthat that's an illness that's somethingyou can you need to case of our but thedifference between me and the guyssitting next to me the only differencebetween us is I can talk about it now Italk about it that's the only differencethe guy still has anxiety 100% differentmaybe different levels different aspectsin his life but he just doesn't talkabout it that's the difference and bytalking about it which you've been doingmore openly now and some of it's throughyour poetry is all which is fantastic aswell have you genuinely seen like ashift in like your overall moods and didthe severity of your laws as well Oh100% like if I have a load they know ifI don't know they in the past I comehome and I keep all my stuff where it'sI come home now and thank what my sisteris my rock honestly I would not behonestly hands-down I would not be aliveabout her today and she has she's notbeen through depressiontouchwood and thank God but even so ashard it was for her to help me she wasjust there to listen even if she didn'tunderstand she was just there to listenand put small things in place to me forme and so yeah I remember this one timeat university when I was when I was homefor that Christmas when I was really badI had an essay to write and I told her Ijust can't do it I'm gonna quit but sheliterally sat down with me and made mewrite for five minutes at a time when wego and have a break and come back onwrite for five minutes so that's amazingyeah she's been amazing and you'refortunateto have that because there's so manypeople out there you may not necessarilyhave that kind of support network aswell yeah because like you've touched onit's an illness and it's because it'snot physical because it's not like yourthumb for example or yeah you knowsomebody's leg broken or something it'sit's internal and again because peoplearen't speaking what we're doing iswe're masking everything with it with itwith a smile or Facebook post orInstagram post but deep down we'verarely know what somebody's goingthrough exactly it's just scary and Ithink I think living with it is scary soI can only imagine what you're goingthrough so again I just want to saythank you for for really sharing thestory no problem I just want to say umthank what I've not been in the pressdate for about two and a half years nowyes I live with anxiety but I am knowingthat press date and I'm I will fight mymy utmost not to go back there and helpanyone else to come out absolutely andI'm not I'm not in a position to giveyou any advice having not been throughwhat you've been through but yeah thenthere's a simple quote we use it for ourfor our business that me or mom aregoing to start it's okay not to be okayyeah I don't know it sounds simple butit's so important that we understandthat because myself I mean I don'tsuffer with depression but I will wakeup on it on a Monday or a Tuesday itcould be any day of the week and I willbe in an absolute funk and I'm like whydo I feel like shit like nothing's gonewrong like you know my health is they'remy wife's happy my mom's finethere's nothing actually happened inthat day I've slept well but then youknow what you just you just feel reallylow and you got like no motivation andstuff and I used to beat myself up aboutthat because I just think I've got somuch stuff to do I need to change theworld I need to do this at least getmyself up now it's kind of like Iliterally say that quote to myself it'sokay not to be okay and all I'll do ison that particular day or do stuff likeI'll go to the gym I'll try and keep mynutrition as well as possible becauseobviously that helps your mind andeverything I try and speak with my wifeor my brother or my mom in the day justto kind of cheer me up and I might stillbe in a bit of a funk to the end of theday but the next day it all washes overrather than me dwelling on it and thenhating myself like throughout the weekthat kind of makes sense so it'sfantastic that it's been like two and ahalf years and there for yourself comingoff it but if you ever do find yourselfperhaps going a bit lower just knowthat listen mate you've come out of itso many times yeah kicking and fightingyou're doing great that it will be okayand you'll be alright you next thing Iappreciate I know and and such know whatyou said I've learned that saw so ondays from the rule of and you you won'tknow why but you just have to take sometime out for yourself and on those dayseven today I've made wake up and I mightfeel a bit low I know I know deep downthere is something causing that maybenot the day before maybe not on that daybut a week my ass something I didn'ttackle where it was on my to-do listwhich is still bugging me yeah orsomeone I didn't talk to or someone Isaid something to which is bugging mebugging me now and why I feel low so Ipersonally I think there's always a rootcause somewhere it's not always easy tofindmmm there's always something that'sthat's led you to feel that way I thinkyou're right there somebody elsementioned this actually I think it wason Episode three and it's about findingthat that deep meaning and I thinkbecause we're so most of us wake up inthe world whatever is on our phone or Iemail a job it will it will dictate ourdate we very rarely get time to sit backand actually reflect upon our life ourcircumstances in our situations and Ithink if we could do that probably haveless of those days because it isprobably a cumulative effect of thingspropping up and then you've got thislevel of like I don't know burden oranxiety or something that will kind ofjust hit you on one day and you'resitting there thinking what's going onhere but it's actually like you saidpossibly something that's that'shappened a few days ago that's powerfulso the funny thing is it's like there'sno like magic secret is there they'renot I mean if there was then the worldwouldn't struggle a bit like Fitnessyeah if we had the magic pill nobodywould be obese and it's kind of findingI suppose did you touched on it earlierhis voice you've got this toolkit nowyes the the antidepressant tablets helpyou control the chemical imbalancethat's going on but you've also got atoolkit of stuff that you've probablyhad through your therapist yeah thosewho probably gives you different toolsthat you can literally bring out as andwhen you need them because that's kindof how my mom explains it as well ahundred percent like I'm kind ofreinvent the tools they gave me to workfor meso something that I do massively when Ifeel extremely anxious I don't if you'veseen on my Instagram or that bar splitpage into and I'm one on one side Iwrite my negative feelings and emotionsand on the other side I write a healthypoint of view and it just helps meconceptualize how I'm feeling it kind ofbrings you out of my brain onto paperand kind of I can actually write down adifferent way of or view in it mmm yeahyour Instagram is brilliant and you'regonna get the oddest friend requests bythe way because I've asked my mom tofollow your Instagram because some ofyour stuff is like I can't get some ofit like I get like 80% of it send mebecause I've lived with my mom my momwas like my best well she is my bestfriend and and I'll sin what he's donelike taken away from her life so it'skind of I know that if she can read yourmessages and listen to your poetry Imean you know huh no gtv sorry yourstories your Instagram stories it willhelp and it resonate with her so yeahI'm obviously gonna put all the linksfor the listeners as well to know yoursocial medias at the end of it because Ithink it's really important that you'veseen someone who's yeah you you're notfully 100% over it at the minute butyou're dealing with it and you'redealing with it in the best way and eachtime you're getting better betterequipped and hopefully somebody who'sprobably earlier down the journey theycan benefit from yourself and this isthe whole point of this podcast is thatthey can learn from your your experienceof suppose and hopefully change theirlife for the better sooner exactlythat's that's the thing like I am NOTI'm not perfect I'm not free to stormyou never will because life justfrustrate you all the time I've come andbut the only thing I can do is just tryand help people through how I try tohelp myselfmmm and you are so yeah just try and beas real as I can on Instagram you knowlet people know how much it days becauseInstagram is a is a fake world really itisn't it's a highlight reel is which iswhy I appreciate like your content sokeep that going buddy I'm gonna switchthe pace a little bit now so I know someof the stuff that you do on a dailybasis but I think it's important for thelisteners who have heard about yourstory to understand what your dailyroutine is like so I'm a big bigbeliever that we are the results of thethoughts we tell ourselves and reallyhabits and so what's your daily routinefrom the moment you wake up to themoment you go to sleep well or every dayis different and I'm not gonna I can'tlie to you hmmI don't have a daily routine I'm stilltrying to work out myself in terms of Iknow what what would work well for mebut I haven't put it in place so I'velistened to one of your podcast one ofyour early ones about the guy who usedthe miracle morning that's right yeahchin very good friend yeah I knew thatwas a great podcast by the way thank youso yeah I bet the miracle morning thingwas last year and I started putting alot of things into practice in themorning not felt great and but thenexams came around again from my accountsand I just fell off it well I havecertain things I do during a week ratherthan a daily routine a daily routine issomething I'm working on in 2019 okay Ineed to incorporate meditation I need toincorporate leaving my phone out of myroom in the end of the day because thatjust adds to anxiety mm-hmm so thingsthat I do on a weekly basis to try andhelp me and relieve my stress is numberone you probably see a lot on InstagramI love my Costa Coffee yeah I love goingthere by myself taking a book readingmaybe writing some poetry just sittingthere watching the world and just beingcomfortable in my own thoughts I love myalone time now and another big thingdaily is Jim obviously so I usuallythrough that after work and it literallyjust puts me in a difference day ofnight it's almost like meditationabsolutely almost like meditation andyou're just there with your own thoughtsmusic in or not and you're justconcentrating on pushing the way upyou're not thinking about your pastdecisions you made you not think aboutthe future you're just in that momentthere and then so that helps memassively another daily routine mealprep obviously every morning but yeahI'm I'm still learning I'm stilllearning about routines and I will haveit together soon but like you've toucheddown there even myself my routinechanges from like year to year becauseyou always you're almost tweaking it soI've done the whole waking up at 4:00a.m. and then working my ass offbut then what would happen is at twoo'clock in the afternoon you not crashand let's sleep for like an hour and ahalf because I'm absolutely knackered sothen I was like this is pointless and sothen I mixed it up and now it's likeI'll wake up at 6 or 7 it depends onbasing my day so if you'll get an earlypodcast or I forgot like an investormedium or something like that then I'lltweak it but generally speaking I don'treally care what time I wake up becauseI believe it's what you do in the daybut you've got some great habits inthere like like the gym the meal prep Imean that you're feeding your bodyyou're feeding your mind there so it'sabout utilizing your time and takingchunks out of the day where you canreally be productive in terms ofwhatever your end goal is and a greatbook that I've read that is gonna helpme put that my favorite Wiens practiceis called the room of the rhythm of lifeby Matthew Kelly the rhythm of life okso I know you you follow my mindfulfitness page yeah yeah I do I'verecently just started following thatyeahthat's that's in the making and mytherefore mindful fitness is stemmingoff that book really so what walks aboutin that book is you have essential meansin life to survive so you have you haveoxygen you have a young Ward so you needthose things or you will diebut what people often neglect is theirlegitimate needs and there's four ofthese and we collect them because we'retoo busy day today which is sofast-paced in our lives and but thosefour needs our physical needs sonutrition and exercise emotional needswhich is relationships with people wherethat's going to get coffee with a friendtalking someone haven't talked in a longtime then you have your spiritual needsa bit harder to define for me it's justbeing being comfortable yourselfspending some alone time with throughmeditation going for a walk in natureand the fourth one is intellectual needswhich is knowledge and learning newthings and we often neglect a lot ofthose and one trying to do is encompassthose in my life and try and help peopleencompass those in this because when oneof those things are off that's when youranxiety will spike yeah yeah that's sointeresting that's powerful I'm gonnaI'm gonna attach that book actually therhythm of life by Matthew Kelly you saidyeah yes brilliant Kay I'll add that toobviously you're you've got to Instagrampages as well would you at the bottom soI'll have a look at that I appreciatethat buddy thank you look into thatfantastic okay sothe next question is about adversity andwhat I want you to do is if you could goback in time and think of a time thatyou faced great adversity but youpersevered through it so just oneparticular time and I want you toexplain how you won obviously theadversity to how you got through it andthree what are the lessons that youtaught you at the end of it oh JesusChristget your thinking cap on okay my figuredyou know you know I said to you beforethis podcast you sent me the questionsin that and I was gonna happen littleread about them you haven't read all ofyou know what last night yeah I upgradedmy iPhone on Saturday and it deletewhatsapp conversations lost by a 10o'clock and I was like sheets messagesjust suck up do it which is why I thinkthis episode so far is so intriguingfascinating because everything you'resaying is if you know it's not youhaven't scripted it out it's literallyjust you speaking from the heart so Ialways find that more authentic thereason I do give the questions thatbefore is just because some peoplesuffer with is ie exactly okay well youhear anyway the question has been askedjust have a have a few moments again anydead time and stuff I can always edit ithow so I'll probably cost me becauselike a particular situational momentbecause there just been so many my lifeand I've had to come out of wellprobably my latest one is justqualifying as a child accountant loadsof adversity faced there whether it waswork just not seeing myself was goodenough in septal workout producing theknowledge that I have and just comparingmyself to others that within my firmsort of thing and yet having to go backon antidepressants was a big blow for meit helped me massively enough if anyoneis taken out to the presence there'sabsolutely nothing against them I was ona about 20 milligrams a citalopram ifany of you listeners know just stop givethem the information and I've been onthat for about three years since I likemy jobthere's no comment and slowly slowly Iwas prescribedten just before Christmas so 10milligrams taking one every day for twoweeks and then I take one every otherdayfor two weeks and now I'm in a processof just taking two tablets a week forthe next two weeks and I'll be off themand yes I defects for anyone gran outthere there are massive side effects soI did feel a lot more rumination comeinto play so just kin stuff very a lotmore emotional and very snappy er peopleclose to me I love my family so Iapologise to them on here I'm sure Iunderstandyeah and very very tired and lethargicbut now honestly I feel amazing honestlyI really do feel good brilliant mateokay so the next question it's we'regoing to get to happiest if I show youso today it's a memory but but the nextquestion is what is your biggest fear mybiggest fear is probably going back intoa depressed state massively that's mybiggest fearand the fear of that I think helps mekeep keep out of it and is that throughyour daily discipline like the stuffthat you doing the stuff you you'resaying to yourself 100% like things Isay to myself just be more open andtalking now and actually feeling like Ihave something comments to pursue like Ihonestly believe I've been through whatI've been through for a reason aseveryone will probably say but I'm onthis earth not not to be an accountantlike I love my job and I love the peopleI work with but my true calling is justto help people help themselvesjust bring me talking about experiencesand everyone can do that and you will doyou helping me and I've gone through itmyself even just some of the stuff yousay you know it's making so much moresense but we are a result of the thingswe tell ourselves then just on thatpoint I think that's really importantit's something I'm trying to get my momand anyone on all going through thatsimilar situation to do as well becausea very very quick example a little bitabout myself is yeah suffering withanxiety and be shy I've always basicallywalked looking at the floor kind of likewith a hunchback if you can kind ofimagine that so my hands in my pocketand I've never really making eye contactwith anyone and I'm just kind of walkingand I remember recently I think it wasabout two weeks ago we went for somefood and I saidmy friends I hadn't seen for about sixmonths and he goes have you gottentaller and I was like what like pubertywhen a long time ago me and he was likeno you've gotta be like taller and I waslike well I've always been this tall soI'm like I'm just six foot eight sixfoot and I was kind of like just thesame height as in and you kind ofshocked and what I realized was so I'vebeen doing like affirmations and tellingmyself stories every single morning ispart of my morning ritual and one of thethings is I am confident I am no longershy I am and I would say well theseempowering words to myself and withoutrealizing it without even thinking aboutit my physical body had changed which Ijust find fascinating that's somebodywho I've known for like the best part of16 years had come up to miss it manyou've just grown a few inches but it'sbecause my demeanors changed now mychest is proud and that there's no levelof arrogance or anything in that it'sjust I'm just confident knowing myselfand I'm not this shy anxious person whoscared the world or what people will sayabout me I'm comfortable in my own skinand the other thing about you is you'regoing to the gym and you're gettingbigger so that's probably right myfoodstuffs I do try and eat outbrilliant so we spoke about your fearwhat is your motivation then what keepsyou going even on the days when you'rein a funk for example lucky gentlemanwhat keeps me going is knowing I'm herefor a bigger reason than myself mmmdeep down when I still help him myfamily around me helping friends helpingpeople I don't even know and that reachout to me not try not good as much as Ican but just believed I found somethingcaught truly believing and anyone outthere like I know how hard it is to notknow your purpose it like be being a jobor be a plan for job in a union not knowwhat what a fuck you want to do of yourlifeyeah and it doesn't matter how would youget it I believe one day we'll justspark like if you asked me a year agowhat when I do I have no idea andwhereas things have just lightssparking and you know pulling into placeand that will happen for you it's justabout whether you're you're willing totake the risk to go and pursue thosedreams that's all it is I love that thatis so true and I think I always urgepeople now so even like my youngerbrotherI urge people to just try new things anddo different things because 12 monthsago May being a podcast host wasprobably the last thing I'd ever want todo other than it'll be an out of a planeI mean and I'm at I'm actually debatedwhether I'm gonna do that in the nextyear or so jumping out the plane safelyshould we say yeah trying anything crazyobviously with it with all this rightpeople around but it's weird how you howyour passion just develops my actualpassion now is like you said it's makingthat true impact it's making thatdifference in life so yeah the beautifulthing with that is is forcing me to comeout of my comfort zone hence doing apodcast hence putting myself out thereon social media and doing this podcastopening that business with more mommiesit's crazy to think that I would havebeen doing this because I just didn'tthink I would so I think you've hit thenail on the head there people shouldjust go out there take that risk trustthat it will fall into place because Itruly believe it won't but at the sametime everyone's journey is different sojust because it's falling I think inplace for somebody out there he doesn'tnecessarily mean it's going to be thesame for you it could be at 22 or itcould be at 50 but don't don't comparebasically what I'm trying to say exactlybecause I've people might look at me andsay oh he's a qualified accountant hesaw it for life now I'm just I've chosento go part-time comma salary you knowmoney doesn't money you need itunfortunately you need money but I'mfocused on my happiness right now whenI'm going part-time to to actually gofor what I truly want to do okayfantastic so there you've heard thebuzzer and we are now in the fun part ofthis show so this is a quickfire 60seconds where I'm gonna be asking costsall sorts of wonderful and weirdquestions and the beautiful thing is hehasn't read the show notes so you haveno idea what I'm gonna ask him andthey're not the same questions as alwaysI do like to mix it up a little bit butso please are you ready buddy I'm readyokay we're gonna start in 3 2 1okay the ability to fly or be invisiblefly money or fame fame singing ordancing singingNetflix on YouTube that thinks Marvel orDC I don't watch evil okay Batman orSuperman Superman favorite TV show everoh Jesus Christ soprano would you ratherhow you will die or when you were dyingwhen I would die love or moneylove books or movies books if you couldsit with one person in the world for anhour who would it be my sister yourworst fear growing up getting older whatis your biggest addiction Instagram ifyou could abolish one thing in the worldwhat would it be depression yourfavorite song ever compete J : Drake anysongs French or Spanish Spanish pizza orsteakthey comedy or horror comedy and thelast one which is completely randomwhich is wizards which is the funnything is I wrote these like a long timeago so I'm looking at it myself to getwhat okay brilliantthe answer about your sister as well Ithink I think she's gonna love to hearthis back I'm sure you tell her anywayon a daily basis but if you're anythinglike me sometimes I shy away fromtelling the people I love the most Icare for him so much and it's probablysomething that I should do as well butso we run to the one but last questionand this one's always about reflectionbecause I always believe hindsight is awonderful thing and upon reflection wecan always think of ways to get to wherewe are quicker easier or we lessheartache and we wouldn't be the peoplewe are today if it wasn't for theprocess I've been through so what I wantto know is if you could go back in timeto that one moment where you reallystruggled and suffered with adversityand you could just whisper something inyour ear knowing exactly what you knownow what would you say say to yourselfoh I probably tell myself to tell peoplehow you feel and because yeah it'sextremely hard even by looking back andeven the you for today it's hard toexpress how you feel whether that'sbecause you're gonna be mocked on socialmedia your friends won't understandbecause of different maturity levels ahyeah just be just just talking about howyou feel just talk about it I love thatand I want to get you to do if you don'tmind one of your poems now I thinkbecause you've been through it youcouldn't you can hear the passion inyour voice as well are you just beforeyou start this are you thinking aboutdoing books or ebooks or anything onthatOasis I want to release a bookpoetry book and also I'm in a process oftrying to gather to do like spoken wordevents okay um so I wanna go and performpoetry and and yeah it's funny how Ionly started writing I used to writepoetry a lot for Mother's Day cards uhmy mom she's probably got loads of poemswhich is quite handy because every timemy sister would ask me what we shouldget my mom article I'll just write whatlast year I went to Cyprus and mygranddad was writing poetry in Greek Ohwhat just about turmoil he's beenthrough in his life and stuff I wentover to Cyprus by myself actually justto save my grandparents for a coupleweeks and I thought you know what maybeI should try writing down stuff as wellso it's the one I'm gonna read is thefirst one I wrote in Cyprus some of someof them when I write them I can kind ofI don't feel this way anymore but cankind of go back to how I felt and writethe emotions down which is yeah yeahwhich is quite good for me and so yeahthe one I'm gonna read this the firstone ever wrote when I started writingproperly and it's called him him love itlet's go all right so here miss just thegame playing with my mind an easy targetfor him he always seems to find healways seems to be there to put me in myplace lurking a scheming like a puff ofsmoke all up in my face and I are closedmy eyes praying that he'll go but in themorning he's still there he always seemsto show he follows me constantly like ahovering dark cloud I turned to look atmelook at him in the face sometimes and hesmiled was also proud what did he wantfrom me what about done a question everyday my whole life he seems to have takenand he's here to stay but one day itseems to click and I look all aroundhe has no physical presence so how canhe be so profound that's when I realizedI'm living in the past and future withmy other thinking mind an easy targetfor him he'll never ever find Wowthat is powerful yeah and there that'sthat's about depression may that's atalent there you know you've got may gotmany talents you work out well you'vegot the accountancy going for you you'vegot this poetry going for you yeah andif your aim is to like change change theworld for the better and help people whohave been through similar situation toyourself like you know it's going to beexcited understand I mean people likeand we've never actually met in personbut with people like you is voice allabout as well I appreciate that and it'sthe reason I love doing this is becauseafter after speaking with somebody Ialmost feel like a new level ofconnection if that make sense so it'slike I see you like as a friend now Imean I've probably spoken to more indepth about personal stuff than I dowith some of my friends and butgenuinely like my hand is here if younever need it if ever there's anythingthat I can help you with in the futureif ever there's times that you feel andor anything because it is about justhelping each other up because there'sgoing to be times where I might needthat for example yeah 100% you know I'mhere absolutely hit me a messageabsolutely I appreciate it and you justkeep doing what you're doing because Ithink you're gonna you gonna inspire somany people and like I said my mom'sgonna be fun in you hopefully today Ididn't tell you yesterday so alrightI'll look up no pages yeah she typesquite funny I was always left for thembecause she taught me like the onefinger thing and it doesn't always makesense but I just think it's importantbecause I think any age any demographicsor whatever it is your message is justtrue we are at the last question now forJenny and this is a question that Iasked all of my guests and it's if in150 years time science is unable to saveus and we are no longer about and allthat exists is a book and this book isabout the story of your life it's astory that you've written moving on fromnow up until the day that you sadly passaway what I want to know is firstly whatdoes a blurb say about you I a summaryto make someone you really want to pickthat up and think actually I'minterested in this person and secondlywhat would you call the title of yourbook OhI think my book would have to be apoetry book rather than biography andthe title of the book I think would bememoirs of an anxious mind and the blurI don't think would say too much at allit would just say I don't even know apoem perhaps that could kind of sum upyour yeah a poem that sums up or just aman in his mind just an anxious mindfull stop just something plain andsimple and the poetry and the poems willspeak for themselves about thesituations about the feelings andemotion that's powerful I think you alsolisten to episode one I thought youmight have not been getting this by herewhy keV and the beautiful thing withKevin's as well because he's my boxingtrainer he's a lovely chap but he alsodoes poetry as well yeah and I just findit I find it fascinating because likekeV you do poetry and I listen to acouple of years as well and we're in theprocess of kind of resurfacing himbecause he's got him in like normalbooks and I'll say maybe you could selfpublish it get it out there because Ijust feel like really hit yourheartstrings so it's powerful buddy it'sbeen an absolute pleasure I just want tothank you for your time again andapologies for the stuff in the morningobviously it took us about 30 minutes toget skies it's got going but at leastyou managed to find your voice yeah theshameless plug there from the morningbut what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna putlinks to all your social medias that Iknow but if there is anything else oranywhere else you want people to findyou because I think it's important thatpeople can follow your journey andpeople can learn from you learn from youyou can maybe help them if you wouldn'tmind where's the best place to find youthe best place for me is probably mypersonal Instagram page which is cmklifestyle and then my other page whichis up and running and I want to stop ita lot more up

Then seamlessly transition right into the No Escape movie review and Steven Seagal neck-snapping action (possibly related somehow... probably not). Then we follow up with more movie randomness and music randomness, music fads, how it has changed, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Back to the Future. I'll be your candle on the water... SATAN!
