You and I have a big decision to make. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business
Speaker:strategist and money mindset coach. And welcome to the
Speaker:Weeniecast. Hear
Speaker:ye, hear ye. Listeners of the Weeniecast, we need to
Speaker:talk. And I know that's like, no one wants to hear that. No one wants
Speaker:to hear the. We gotta talk. Okay. I swear I'm not breaking up with you.
Speaker:This isn't that kind of conversation, but it's kind of that
Speaker:conversation. We are solid. Two years into this
Speaker:relationship, we've been talking about ADHD and how it holds
Speaker:you back in your business and how to get over that, how to
Speaker:really work with how your brain works, to go and start a
Speaker:business and scale a business and do all the things in the business that
Speaker:are required for you to be massively successful. And
Speaker:it has been one of the deepest pleasures of my
Speaker:life to be able to do that for you. And also, I have
Speaker:ADHd. And my hyper fixation on talking
Speaker:about ADHD has come to an end.
Speaker:And the weenie cast isn't going anywhere. The weenie cast will always be here.
Speaker:But besides the fact that I'm feeling just complete with really
Speaker:focusing on ADHD, I realize I've been being a
Speaker:massive weenie in my own business, and I've
Speaker:been playing along with how I think you're being a weenie in your own life
Speaker:and your own business. Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel. What does it mean
Speaker:to not be a weenie? It doesn't mean that you're not afraid.
Speaker:It doesn't mean that you're not nervous about doing something outside of your comfort zone.
Speaker:It doesn't mean that you don't have doubts. It means you have
Speaker:all those things, they're still going on and you do it anyway.
Speaker:One of the things that I love about each and every one of my clients
Speaker:is that, yeah, they want to make a lot of money, but they want to
Speaker:do it while they're doing something good for the world. They want to have actual
Speaker:impact. And part of it is they want to have impact with the clients
Speaker:they work with. They want to genuinely help these. These people, these
Speaker:companies, whatever it is that they're up to, to be better
Speaker:in some way, shape or form, to have a better life,
Speaker:to get better results, and also
Speaker:they want to have a greater impact on the world around them.
Speaker:You know, a lot of my clients want to make more money so that they
Speaker:can donate to causes that they deeply care about. Other clients
Speaker:want to have a really successful business that can kind of fund
Speaker:a nonprofit that they want to start while others want to use
Speaker:their influence in their business to impact their communities.
Speaker:You know, maybe by running for office or supporting people who are running for
Speaker:office. All things that I have been
Speaker:doing with my life in the last year. And guys, that's where it's
Speaker:at. Being successful in your business. Big whoop.
Speaker:A big piece. I feel like we've been missing in the weenie cast is
Speaker:the why you want to have a successful business. What's the
Speaker:reason? Right? Because knowing how to do something is only going to be so
Speaker:helpful if you really understand why you want it. Because if you don't know why
Speaker:you want it, you're never going to go and do it because you won't have
Speaker:the motivation to get started. You know, the cool thing about being
Speaker:me, if I'm going to say this, is thankfully I don't
Speaker:attract a whole lot of narcissists or sociopaths into my world. If
Speaker:you're listening to this, I pretty much can guarantee you're not a narcissist or a
Speaker:sociopath. At least I hope so. If you are, then stop
Speaker:listening now. Go away. Leave us alone. You're not welcome
Speaker:here. And because there aren't a whole lot of narcissists and
Speaker:sociopaths here, what are they driven by? They're driven for their
Speaker:own goals. They're driven for the things that they want, which, I mean, I'm not
Speaker:saying that that's wrong. I think we should all let go of the shame
Speaker:of going after what we want. And also, like,
Speaker:just because you want it is not going to be be enough
Speaker:of a motivation for the typical weenie cast listener to go after
Speaker:their big goals. The motivation is I want to create a better future
Speaker:for my children. Motivation is I want to be able to provide for my
Speaker:parents in their retirement. The motivation is I want to be able to give back
Speaker:to my community. I want to be able to support causes like women's
Speaker:rights, like racial equity, whatever it
Speaker:is that you are super passionate about, that's going to be the thing that's going
Speaker:to push you to be more successful in your business.
Speaker:So going forward, the weeniecast is really going to be focused on
Speaker:how can you have impact? What can you do
Speaker:in your own business as you're growing it to have impact in these
Speaker:areas. Another element of this is that we're no longer looking
Speaker:at the minute little things that you can do to get
Speaker:1% better each day. Not to say that those aren't important, but
Speaker:we've covered them. We have over 100 episodes teaching you how
Speaker:to do those things. What we're focused on going forward,
Speaker:elevating the business you already have.
Speaker:And it might mean scaling the business, which a lot of people don't even
Speaker:know what scaling means. It's not a skin
Speaker:condition. Scaling means you've designed a business
Speaker:that can make more money without you working more.
Speaker:You know, for my coaches out there, I know a lot of us have been
Speaker:sold this idea that scaling is like, oh, well, you work with clients one on
Speaker:one now run a group program. A group program still
Speaker:requires you to show up. It still requires you to show up and
Speaker:be present in that group. Teaching, coaching, whatever
Speaker:it is that you do, it's not scalable. And the longer you're
Speaker:chained to this business, needing to be present in it every
Speaker:single day to make sure that you can make more money is
Speaker:less time you can put to having an impact in the world.
Speaker:It's less time that you can donate to a good cause, less time that you
Speaker:can, you know, do other work that'll actually change
Speaker:the game. So we're gonna be talking about how you can actually scale
Speaker:a business, how you can take a business that's making a measly
Speaker:2000 a month and grow it to half a million a year
Speaker:and more. Not only that, we're going to be talking about how you can
Speaker:acquire other businesses, how you can
Speaker:become a fully fledged entrepreneur who
Speaker:isn't just a singular business owner. You know, what you can look
Speaker:at that will be complementary to what you already do.
Speaker:I'm really excited for this part because this is a journey that I'm on in
Speaker:this moment. And I want to show you behind the scenes as I'm
Speaker:scaling, as I am buying other businesses, as I am
Speaker:starting other businesses. Cause for me to sit here every week
Speaker:and tell you to stop being a weenie and do the thing that's outside your
Speaker:comfort zone. I better be doing that, too. And let me tell
Speaker:you, this is way outside my comfort zone. It's very uncomfortable.
Speaker:But I know doing this is going to be the key to me
Speaker:having the impact on the world that I want to have.
Speaker:And the impact I want to have is going to be different from yours. But
Speaker:let me share with you what I have envisioned in my vision
Speaker:going forward for my life and my business and the work I'm gonna
Speaker:do. One of the things that I'm gonna be sharing with
Speaker:you as I build it is this nonprofit that I'm launching
Speaker:this month called the Gay Birthday Club. Now, it sounds silly but
Speaker:there's a whole population of folks in the LGBTQ community
Speaker:who don't get a call from their parents on their birthday saying, happy birthday,
Speaker:I love you, or singing a cringy happy birthday song.
Speaker:And it's something that I saw someone on LinkedIn
Speaker:shared about how they no longer get a call from their dad on their birthday,
Speaker:and it's really made their birthday a hard day for them. And as
Speaker:someone who has taken for granted that I've always gotten a birthday call from my
Speaker:parents, both of them, and from other family members singing happy birthday and
Speaker:celebrating me, it's something that I realized would be so simple
Speaker:to fix in the world, to reach out to people on their day
Speaker:and say, hey, you're special. There are people thinking about you, and there's so much
Speaker:love coming your way. Part of this nonprofit will also be a huge
Speaker:fundraising arm where we're raising money not just for our operations,
Speaker:which I'm anticipating will be fairly minimal,
Speaker:but also raising money for organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and the
Speaker:Trevor Project and organizations that are doing far more serious work
Speaker:in the LGBTQ community. That's the nonprofit I'm
Speaker:launching. Whatever nonprofit you have wanted to start,
Speaker:I want the Weenie cast to not only be
Speaker:the battle cry for you to just go out and get started, but I
Speaker:also want it to be a resource for you to be able to turn to,
Speaker:to come up with the idea, to figure out what your first steps
Speaker:are going to be, to understand what kinds of
Speaker:people you need to call upon for help and to really
Speaker:see that because you have this idea, I
Speaker:want you to be able to see that because you're identifying this need in the
Speaker:world, that there is need, and that there is a way for you
Speaker:to become the change that is needed in whatever community you
Speaker:want to support and to see how that one thing that you do
Speaker:can have a ripple effect. It can have a greater
Speaker:impact on the world. You know, the other aspect of my work
Speaker:that I and really growing is doing some political
Speaker:consulting and working on political campaigns. You know, because
Speaker:right now we're coming up. If you're living in the United States, you're aware of
Speaker:this. We're coming up on a very serious election.
Speaker:Women's rights are at stake, where the safety
Speaker:and security of people of color, of the LGBTQ
Speaker:community, of folks who weren't born in the United States, they
Speaker:are literally on the line, along with a ton of other issues
Speaker:and, well, no, like, I'm probably not running for office. It's not an ambition
Speaker:of mine. I know I can have impact by using
Speaker:what I know as a business owner, what I know as a business strategist. What
Speaker:I know is someone who does a lot of marketing consulting. I know I can
Speaker:help. I know I can do work that will actually make
Speaker:voices stronger and make it far more likely that
Speaker:good people who have a sincere desire
Speaker:to protect the most vulnerable people in our society,
Speaker:I know I can help them get elected. And so I'm going to be doing
Speaker:more of that. And I will be sharing behind the scenes to show you how
Speaker:I'm doing that. So you can see how you can use your own
Speaker:skills to have similar impact. If you want to get
Speaker:involved in politics or in your local community along
Speaker:with all of this, that's a major aspect to elevating
Speaker:your business and taking things to that next level. Ooh, what am I
Speaker:gonna say next? Well, you'll have to keep listening to find out. But first, squirrel,
Speaker:squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.
Speaker:Along with all of this, a major aspect to
Speaker:elevating your business and taking things to that next level
Speaker:is demanding to be seen, being
Speaker:terrified to stand up on stage and loudly
Speaker:declare your beliefs, your
Speaker:expertise, and commanding that attention in
Speaker:the next year. I'm actually doing this really exciting partnership with two former clients
Speaker:of mine. One who does pr coaching, the other one who
Speaker:does branding coaching. And we're going to be leading a group of
Speaker:really brave business owners who don't just want to have a
Speaker:successful business, they want to be a household name. They want to
Speaker:be seen and known as the go to
Speaker:expert in their space. And in our program, we're going to be guiding
Speaker:them. Exactly how do they create a
Speaker:recognizable brand? We're going to be walking them through
Speaker:step by step. How do they have an ironclad
Speaker:reputation? By getting them featured in
Speaker:magazines, in news articles, on the news, on tv.
Speaker:My next guest is the host of the US top 5% rated
Speaker:podcast, the Weenie cast. We're gonna be showing them exactly how they
Speaker:can leverage themselves into getting featured
Speaker:for free. And I'll be personally guiding each and every one of
Speaker:these clients through how to create an offer that is truly
Speaker:scalable so that they don't have to work harder, work
Speaker:longer hours to make more money. And as we lead this
Speaker:group to the trifecta of recognition and
Speaker:reputation and revenue, I'll be sharing the behind the scenes with
Speaker:you. So that even if you're not at that point yet, you can
Speaker:understand what steps you need to take in your business right now to set you
Speaker:up to step center stage and finally,
Speaker:we're going to be talking about what it takes for you to actually believe that
Speaker:you can do this. You know, telling you tips and tricks on how to do
Speaker:something is great, but it's useless if you don't think it's
Speaker:possible for you. You know, you can read 17 books on how to
Speaker:run a marathon, but if you don't actually believe that you can run a
Speaker:marathon, are you actually going to successfully train for it? That's
Speaker:not how that works. If you don't believe you can do a handstand, you're not
Speaker:going to start training and learning how to do things to do a handstand.
Speaker:If you don't think you can act, you're not going to start auditioning.
Speaker:The business world and the manifestation world are
Speaker:kind of suspicious of each other, and rightly so,
Speaker:because there are a lot of manifestation coaches out there who talk
Speaker:about, I manifested $5,000 last week, and here's the
Speaker:mantra that got me there. Business people are looking at that and being like, you're
Speaker:a fucking nut job. What do you mean? Like? No,
Speaker:like, that's not how that works. You have to actually just go and make the
Speaker:money. And the manifestation world's like, cool, like, going and making the money.
Speaker:Like, how do you do that? Energetically? The manifestation
Speaker:world understands that there's an energetic and belief system that's
Speaker:required to make any of those business opportunities possible.
Speaker:You've been with me for a couple years now. You know,
Speaker:I see both sides of this, and one of the main focuses going
Speaker:forward is going to be how do you back up your
Speaker:belief system? How do you shift your
Speaker:own internal timeline so that when those business opportunities come your
Speaker:way, you're able to identify them and, well, not
Speaker:fearlessly, because we're still wheaties here, right? But how
Speaker:to be afraid of going for it and do it anyway? How do you face
Speaker:the risk of rejection? How do you make
Speaker:decisions that are difficult decisions
Speaker:to make and see them through? I'm doing it
Speaker:right now. You know, I'll show you behind the scenes in this
Speaker:moment. You know, there's absolutely a side of me that's like, oh,
Speaker:God, I put all this work, two whole years, over
Speaker:100 episodes, and really, like, reworked all of my
Speaker:branding to really cater to folks with ADHD. You
Speaker:know, that could absolutely be seen as, like, oh, my God, like, I
Speaker:failed. I failed. Like, I picked something that was the wrong
Speaker:niche. That would be a choice I could make in this moment, but it's
Speaker:not the choice I'm making because there's no shame in changing your
Speaker:mind. There's absolutely no shame in growing and
Speaker:evolving, in realizing that the focus
Speaker:you had for one period of your life or your business
Speaker:has kind of run its course for you. And there doesn't have to
Speaker:be any justification to change your mind. One of the biggest fears my
Speaker:clients have is like, what if I pick the wrong niche? What if I choose
Speaker:something that, you know, he, like, is successful
Speaker:and I like doing for a while, but then all of a sudden it loses
Speaker:its zhush for me. Like, the goose gets juiced and then there's
Speaker:nothing left.
Speaker:And if we're being real, you know, we're a club of people with
Speaker:ADHD, it's just not realistic for us to stick with the same thing
Speaker:forever. It's just not, you know, I'm
Speaker:going to change. I'm going to lean in and change when I feel like
Speaker:I'm done with something and I'm going to do it publicly
Speaker:and I'm going to show you behind the scenes of it, because I want you
Speaker:to know that you do not need to have a greater justification for changing your
Speaker:mind on something. You do not need to have a greater justification to
Speaker:say, you know what? This part of my business, I'm feeling complete here,
Speaker:feeling done. I'm going to mix it up. I'm going to change it. I'm going
Speaker:to move on to something else. Because guess what? Just because you want
Speaker:it is valid enough. That is a good enough reason.
Speaker:And if any of you who are listening right now
Speaker:have had this thought in the back of your mind that, you know, what I'm
Speaker:doing right now just doesn't feel like a fit anymore. Just doesn't. Doesn't
Speaker:scratch the same itch. I don't feel like I'm having the impact. I want to
Speaker:have full permission to change with me. It's
Speaker:hard. There's a lot of work, there's a lot of links I'm gonna have to
Speaker:be updating. There's a lot of branding that I'm gonna have to do.
Speaker:Like, I'm really happy I have a team that can help me with this, and
Speaker:maybe you don't have that yet, but let me tell you, it's easier to make
Speaker:these changes when you're in a group of people who are also making the change,
Speaker:even if you don't know who they are, even if you're just aware tangentially that
Speaker:they're doing it, too. I'm now, like, just imagining, like, my LinkedIn feed
Speaker:and my Instagram feed is all these people like changing their niche and changing their
Speaker:business over the coming. But you know what? Like,
Speaker:that's amazing, because what that actually means
Speaker:is that there are that many more people who are being true to themselves, who
Speaker:are realizing, you know what? I've been offering this gift to the world, and you
Speaker:know what? I'm tired. I'm done. I'm just not feeling it anymore. And
Speaker:I want to shift now to offer this gift to the world. Let's go.
Speaker:You know, in the last few months, I've been talking a fair bit about
Speaker:the favorite self and the difference between the
Speaker:favorite self and the ideal self, right? And if we talk about the ideal self,
Speaker:your ideal self is unattainable. It's a vision of perfection that
Speaker:we're never going to reach because perfect doesn't exist. Your
Speaker:ideal self has already done all the ideal things in their
Speaker:life that you like. There's no time machine that's going to make you go
Speaker:back and do it. And also, even if you did have a time machine, you
Speaker:have ADHD. It's not like you're going to be able to stick perfectly to a
Speaker:plan. Unrealistic. If I took a time machine back
Speaker:to being in high school, it's not like I'm gonna do all my homework perfectly.
Speaker:It's not like I'm gonna be the best student ever. It's not like I'm gonna
Speaker:get into Harvard and then be the perfect student there. No,
Speaker:of course not. I'm still gonna be me. I'm still gonna be
Speaker:slightly chaotic. Like off the wall, only
Speaker:wants to pay to, only pays attention to stuff that she's interested in. Katie. And
Speaker:you're gonna be the same you. Right. So ideal me, who has gone to
Speaker:Harvard, who has a high paying job, who does this, this, and this, and blah,
Speaker:blah, blah, and eats salads every day for lunch. Never going to be
Speaker:her even if science fiction stuff became real. Right? So
Speaker:me trying to channel her every day to do what I want to do, like,
Speaker:it's just going to hold me to a standard that doesn't work for me already
Speaker:versus my favorite self. My favorite self
Speaker:is chaotic Af. You know what? So, like, in big
Speaker:ways where she changes her business on a dime, and in small ways where sometimes
Speaker:she says as f, and sometimes she says Af, and you'll never know when it's
Speaker:coming. My favorite self doesn't apologize for making
Speaker:decisions. She actually sees it as a major strength that she can make
Speaker:decisions and change her mind. She sees it as a
Speaker:superpower to constantly be checking in with what do
Speaker:I want right now? And what do I want right now? And what do I
Speaker:want right now? And go with it simply because
Speaker:she wants it without needing to justify why it's needed.
Speaker:As we're talking about you making a greater impact, and as we're talking about
Speaker:resetting your mindset so that you actually believe that bigger things are possible
Speaker:for you, we're always going to be checking in with
Speaker:what does your favorite self have to say? What do they want?
Speaker:Who are they excited for you to be and who are they excited for you
Speaker:to show up as in the world. Because once we know that
Speaker:we have your motivation, there's nothing that's gonna stop
Speaker:you. Once you really understand what your deeper desire is.
Speaker:Because once you understand what your deep desire is, the thing that you want more
Speaker:than anything and why you want it, what makes it so appealing to
Speaker:you, what's the impact you want to have with it? Once you know that
Speaker:you can actually start making use of all the tips and the tricks that you're
Speaker:already listening to, you know the things that they're like, oh yeah, well that makes
Speaker:it sound so easy. I should just do that. Is just gonna be come.
Speaker:Oh cool. This is how I go from where I am right now to what
Speaker:I want. Awesome. Let's do it.
Speaker:With this shift in the weenie cast, I'm drawing a line in the sand.
Speaker:This podcast is no longer for those folks
Speaker:are the maybe someday crowd. Maybe someday I'm
Speaker:gonna start a business. Maybe someday I'm gonna change my
Speaker:life. Maybe someday I'll go out and do this really cool
Speaker:idea that I have that like meh, maybe someone else should do it because
Speaker:I'm pretty busy right now. You guys are not welcome along for the ride.
Speaker:This is the moment where I'm asking you to just fucking
Speaker:do it already. To put the bull aside.
Speaker:Whatever excuses you've had up until now that you're not doing it.
Speaker:Time, money, energy. Get real with
Speaker:yourself that you actually have the power here. If you don't have the
Speaker:money to start a business, guess what? It costs nothing to go to
Speaker:a neighborhood and go door to door and say, hey, I'm going to be power
Speaker:washing some of your neighbor's stuff this weekend. I have some
Speaker:availability on Saturday. Do you need anything power washed? Do you have any
Speaker:concrete or a porch or maybe the siding of your house? You
Speaker:know, I can come by, it's $200. And you get people to commit
Speaker:and you set appointments and you say, cool, you know, I'll be by this
Speaker:time to do this, renting a power washer from Lowe's
Speaker:or Home Depot is $100 to $250 a day. Once you
Speaker:have, you know, three or four people committed, you go to Home Depot,
Speaker:you rent a power washer for the day you come back, you
Speaker:do your work, you get paid five Saturdays, you have enough to get started with
Speaker:a business. You actually have more than enough. And you also
Speaker:kind of have a successful side hustle that you could also just continue
Speaker:doing to make more money so that when you do want to leave your full
Speaker:time job for your business, you already have some side
Speaker:cash coming in. It's pretty cool. So if you get two clients,
Speaker:you're making money.
Speaker:If you don't have time, I call bull. Because if you don't
Speaker:have time, that tells me that you're not asking for help. You're not
Speaker:demanding that the people in your life step up and take things off of
Speaker:your plate. Did you know that in hunter gatherer
Speaker:societies, women, mothers,
Speaker:grandmothers, do you know how much of their time is
Speaker:used towards leisure activities and not child
Speaker:rearing, not housekeeping, not feeding
Speaker:the rest of the group? Do you know how much time they
Speaker:have? 50 f percent.
Speaker:50% of their time is used for
Speaker:leisure because they ask for help, because it is built in.
Speaker:If you do not have time to start changing your
Speaker:life into what you want it to be, it's because you're going along
Speaker:with the bull society we've been handed, where you have to do it all on
Speaker:your own because you've bought into this myth that you should be
Speaker:independent and fully self sufficient.
Speaker:No, no, no, no. We're not going along
Speaker:with that anymore. You get to ask for help. You get to create community
Speaker:around you. And I'm sorry, but if the people in your life are not
Speaker:willing to create this,
Speaker:this all around beneficial community where everyone helps each other and
Speaker:has their back, they don't belong in your life. Adios.
Speaker:Bye bye, Felicia. And if you don't have the energy, and I
Speaker:understand this, I've worked in so many jobs that were soul sucking.
Speaker:I worked in so many jobs for so many bosses where at the end of
Speaker:the day, I felt like I just had dregs of myself left
Speaker:and I had nothing to offer anyone. And I know the job
Speaker:market right now sucks. I know, I know, I know.
Speaker:I get all the reasons, but there's always choice. When
Speaker:I was in that position, I was not interviewing for other
Speaker:jobs. I was choosing to stay in the
Speaker:job that paid enough for me to survive but didn't give
Speaker:me the ability to have a life where I was thriving. And I
Speaker:know it's hard. I'm not saying this like it's a simple or easy thing to
Speaker:do, but if you don't have the energy at the end of your
Speaker:workday to put towards setting things in motion
Speaker:that'll take you to the life that you actually want, you have a really difficult
Speaker:decision to make.
Speaker:If you're committed to any of those reasons being the obstacle
Speaker:that just makes it impossible for you to do this thing, then you're no longer
Speaker:welcome here. This is not going to be the podcast for you.
Speaker:I love you, and I want the best for you. And this podcast will always
Speaker:be here for you. When you choose to believe that what
Speaker:you want is possible for you and when you start acting like it's possible
Speaker:for you. But until then, I don't know how much this podcast is
Speaker:going to help you. We're not doing vision board sh t anymore.
Speaker:This is a community where your feet are going to be held to the fire
Speaker:so that you can do the thing that you already want to do, so that
Speaker:you can have the impact that you know you can have on the world.
Speaker:And so, yes, you can do it while you're ahead. Still scared less. We
Speaker:were considering calling it something like the Weenie cast 2.0, but it's
Speaker:not. It's still the Weenie cast. It's still the Weenie cast where you get
Speaker:to be afraid and still take action. But we're taking bigger action
Speaker:now. We're going for bigger dreams. We're going
Speaker:after the vision that we all have for a better
Speaker:world. And I have this deep belief, and I've had this for a really long
Speaker:time, that we don't all have to care about everything.
Speaker:We don't have to fix every single problem there is in the world.
Speaker:If each and every one of us picked one problem,
Speaker:picked one area where we get to fix even the
Speaker:smallest of issues, like people getting birthday
Speaker:calls, I am convinced we would have a much better
Speaker:world. So I hope with this shift, with this
Speaker:upgrade, you'll continue this journey with us. And I
Speaker:hope that with this upgrade and shift, you're
Speaker:gonna be upgrading and you're gonna be shifting some shit in your life, and I
Speaker:cannot wait to hear about it. So let's
Speaker:all just stop being a weenie and go for it.
Speaker:What if I. What if I choose something that, you know, I like,
Speaker:is successful and I like doing for a while, but then all of
Speaker:a sudden, it loses for me? Like the goose gets
Speaker:juiced and then there's nothing left. I love that term, by the way. I have
Speaker:one canadian person who joins my Friday calls sometimes, and she
Speaker:is always talking about juicing your goose. And I'm all about it. And
Speaker:I always love an excuse to use that term. I don't know if that's a
Speaker:canadian thing or just a her thing, you know, could be, I don't know,
Speaker:TBD, Canadians. Can you tell me, is that a canadian thing or is that just
Speaker:a random person who comes to my calls thing? Please tell me in the comments.
Speaker:Thank you very much. Squirrel, squirrel,
Speaker:squirrel, squirrel.
