We appreciate you for pulling up. How are we doing today? We're doing good. Too blessed to be stressed for the just getting back home. It's a good day. It's a beautiful day outside. First day in November, 35 days away from D.D. Miami, 25 days from Thanksgiving. You know, things are good. How about you? Blast. Too blessed to be stressed. You already know. It's a good day. It's nice and chilly outside. You know walk outside. Nice brisk breeze. 50 degrees. I'm like, yeah, this is the good stuff. I'm ready to not be around anymore. But it's a good day. It's a good day. Community filled, you know, just hanging out having a good time. Enjoying things. Building shield. How's it going? Amazing, amazing, man. Just, you know, doing some things, doing some things. But man, it's great, man. Just a lot of, man, that I'm trying to catch up with all, you know, the timeline right now too. I'm really in DMs a lot and working with the team and discord and all that. But everything is good, man. Just seeing the community and just seeing everybody, man, the post, the support, you know, the way it should be, but just, you know, goodbye. So it's good to see, it's good to see everything, man. You know, things take time and everything happens for a reason and, you know, people are, people are excited. So I'm catching up with everything, man. A lot of other posts too and, you know, people from outside the community in the community. Man, they know, you know, people that are here and believe and have been rocking with all the regional dogs know, like, we're never going to let anybody down. We're never going to let the community down, man. We just, we, we, we just level up from anything, anything that comes our way. So, man, it's good, man. I'm smiling a lot more today and yesterday for sure. We all are, you know, the whole team is because, you know, we see the post, we see, you know, you know, what we can do and just getting things done, man, I'm happy now. I think I'll sleep tonight a little better for sure. So like, man, it's, all we do is think about this community, like the whole regional dog team, like every day, like we, man, we breathe it. We, it's just about, you know, it's everything about our life, man, and everything we do. So we want people to be happy and, yeah, and excited for what's to come and what we're building and, man, so many things, man, I got so many lives. I got so many, like, just different DMs and I'm in text messages right now, like going back and forth with, like, other founders and just people and just seeing the support of, like, the real ones, you know, for sure, because, man, we've all seen the timeline and just seen people, you know, flip or people, you know, just, man, have their own judgment before, you know, everything's laid out. You just a lot of, a lot of, a lot of garbage, you know, out on the timeline. So, like, you know, we remember that and you guys should remember that too, you know, you know, where you see it and the people you see it come from and, you know, just that negativity and all those things and not let it bother you and not react and just use it as fuel to level up the community and the people around you, you know, and I learned from all these situations always, we all do, you know, but it's what you do in these situations, you know, to, you know, earn respect, earn trust or more of it and, you know, build something even stronger and stronger. Like, nothing's ever going to knock us down. Like, nobody, nobody's going to knock us down. Nobody, like, we've seen what's happened over the years. Like, we've never had any issues. We just always come back stronger and, you know, more people will come try to be a part of it. I already see people already in DMs that were some of the loudest people, you know, this week or in the days that were just, just quick to judge and not support and just be patient with like what the Dojo dog team was doing in the background. But we were legit working on this, like, sometimes 20 hours a day, you know, we pop in our spaces and, you know, but we're, man, it's, it went, it went all day and all night pretty much most of the time, like all of us at different moments doing different things and just figuring out everything, you know, but it's been good, man, we learned a lot through this too, you know, learned a lot about people, learned about real support, learned about other support coming from other angles, you know, people that believe in us and believe in the community and it was really cool. This is cool to see, you know, a lot of this, but, you know, man, I feel really good. We all feel really good. I'm trying to see all the posts to, I'm going to, like, I'm going to the, you know, different post to see who's reposting and just using that because, man, I just see a lot of love out there on the timeline and, you know, good things. I just saw, man, I just saw something to every posted. I didn't get to read it all, but let's see, I want to pin some of this up to, I think I quote reposted it actually now. I think of it. I think bark put it out there. Yeah, I quote reposted it. But, man, just really good things. I just shared it up top, but, like, you know, show these posts and love to, yeah, it's been amazing. I mean, we got a lot of work to do still, like, so much work to do, the dojo, the dog team, which is everything with the event, with opportunities, with calls, with, you know, just finalizing everything, you know, with the community, because community's first, you know, like, everything about the community and community being happy and, you know, that was first for all of us on the original dog team. So it's been good, man, it's been good. So, man, I'm just connecting with a lot of people and, you know, just analyzing, just paying attention, just remembering, you know, like, I don't even know how many days it's been, if it's been like six days or what, but I'm just remembering everything. And, man, just, just listening and tapping into just different people, listening to positive, listening to the negative. And just, just, like, you know, just seeing where, where, you know, people were at and where the support was at. And, you know, we notice everything, man, we notice everything, we hear everything, we really do. So yeah, yeah. So, man, man, just pay attention. Always audit the people you're around, your circle, your spaces, like, in this community, other communities, just everywhere. And, man, just, just locking with, with real support, you know, real builders, people that believe, people that could weather the storm when, when you get knocked down or when maybe, you know, if you failed at something and, you know, how do you come back from it? What do you do? Do you come, you come back stronger and bigger than ever? And, you know, be around those people that drive you and motivate you, man, because we saw a lot of that this week. I'm seeing it the last couple of days, but also remember the people that aren't like that, you know, that are negatives in your life or around you or how they speak, how they move, how they react, how they talk to people, how, you know, just, just respect, man, just remember, we, we got a lot in spaces this week about just people and how they come at us or what they do or acquies, you know, just, just, however people move and what they say and just lies and things like that. So, like, you know, I'm not interested in responding to any of those people in my DMs or anything like, those people will never get my time of day, you know, depending on how they reacted to this and what they said about individuals in the community or about the dojo and dog team. So, like, you know, I'm definitely going to stand on that and, you know, all the people that, you know, believed in us and still believe in us and, you know, patient, no matter where they're at, like what community are at? There's other communities that we, we finalize things with today and, you know, some of them did post, you know, and, and some things like that and, uh, good people, man, there's good people in all communities, but, you know, there's, there's always, you know, always that, like, we've been at fault that things ourselves, you know, so, you just learn, learn from this and just make sure people around you, you know, communicate with the people around you, you know, we, we, we talk in spaces all the time. So, I kind of get some of this stuff with, like communication and, you know, people saying, oh, we should have done this or done that or done it at this time, but like, people have to really think about the things we were doing and, you know, all eyes are always on our community, you know, so many people, you know, okay, all of us are in their doing spaces, they're doing this, doing that, like, they know it works, like, what we do work. So, you know, it's okay if people are trying to copy and build something because it just shows how special we are and what we do, but, you know, yeah, yeah, just, just, uh, pay attention to a lot of that, but yeah, there's, there's good people, the people I talk to, you know, dogs, not dogs, you know, through this situation that we're actually super respectful and helpful and no matter what they rock or what they do. So, I definitely, you know, gained some, some good relationships and trust and friendships, no matter what, if they're in this community, others, and, you know, just, just be open-minded, not quick to attack like, like, some others, like, don't be those people to feed that negativity and, you know, being toxic because man, a lot of those people are, there's probably just messed up in their lives to be that negative and, you know, be that hard on people and, you know, man, a lot of people, like, I think we've all failed at things in life and we've all had issues, we've all made mistakes, like, everybody, everybody in this community and other community. So, like, we just always got to remember that and look in the mirror and just, what can we do better and help others and give people chances and, and all those things. So, you know, everything's good, man, everything's good. Just super, just, just locking in some other stuff right now, um, as the space goes and, uh, yeah, man, been thinking a lot. I bet you the whole community's been thinking a lot. Man, we have an event coming up like in it's pretty cool. Now I'm starting to see those messages, you know, from other communities and people coming to our event and this community and people, like December 7th, 8th, 9th, you know, they're, you know, sending those, can't wait to see the community or meet the community for the first time. So, like, I'm seeing all those, like, good messages now and like, that's why we're here, you know, like, that's why we're here to be around each other and
