Did I tell you yet how much I appreciate you? I've been appreciating you. I don't know how long you've been listening. I know this is our 60 year of doing the podcast and we're over 250 episodes and multiple thousands of downloads per month and I just wanted to take a moment and stand in this place of gratitude for your attention because attention is hard to come by today. There's somebody people asking for your attention and just the sheer fact that you're here and listening to this says a lot and so I'm very, very grateful for that. And I'd also like to use this opportunity today to have a request. I have an ask of you. As I said, I've been doing this podcast for over six years and 250 plus episodes. If you've been listening for some time, you've gotten any value out of the content of the guests, the topics, the subject matter. If we've had a positive impact in your career at any point or in any way, this is where I'm going to ask you for some support. And I do get some DMs and email messages and so forth of people letting me know that we've definitely had a positive impact in their career and if you haven't done yet shared with me, your result or impact or story from content on this podcast, I'd love to hear it. So here's the ask and this is all we're doing on this episode. This is going to be short and sweet and cut to the chase here. So October is a breast cancer awareness month and my mom is a survivor of breast cancer. And I have agreed to participate in a fundraising activity with my local women's council of realtors here in Las Vegas. And I've agreed to participate as one of the models for what they call bras for a cause charity mixer. That's right. bras for a cause. What does this mean? It means that myself and a handful of other men will decorate a bra of our choosing with the theme of our choosing. And we will array ourselves on stage for approximately three minutes to some song and to some kind of, you know, bio that's going to be read about us, which I don't currently have control over. And we're going to parade around the stage in people that are in attendance that night for the women's council of realtor meeting are going to bid for that bra. Also. Why am I doing this? Well, I mean, I'm doing it because that's face up, right? Breast cancer in both men and women is a real issue. As I said, my mom's a breast cancer survivor. And I decided to put myself out there and do something that quite honestly is outside of my comfort zone. And this is where I need your support. Because me putting on a bra isn't, believe it or not, might be shocking to you, not when I would normally do. But I'm willing to do it to draw attention to a very important cause and to help raise money for an organization that is called send me on vacation. And what send me on vacation does is it selects a handful of individuals who are breast cancer survivors and they utilize the funds they've raised from various fundraising endeavors like the one I'm describing to you. And they send those people on it. All expenses paid vacation somewhere in the world. And so if you can imagine that somebody's coming out of surviving breast cancer, right? Through all the treatments in the chemo and the various things that they go through and all that goes with that, right? And the challenges and then it's, you know, they come to them and say, hey, take a little time for yourself, right? Here's an all expenses paid trip to the Caribbean, to Florida, to wherever, to usually a very beautiful, relaxing, tranquil place. And that's all expenses paid. And how do we do that? We do that by raising funds, right? And by getting different sponsors involved. And this is where, once again, I say my ask is to you. I am a participating model, right? Serving the women's council of realtors participating in the broads for a cause. Send me on vacation charity fundraiser coming up in Las Vegas on October. And what I would love for you to do if you've gotten value out of this podcast for you to make a donation. And the minimum amount is $25 and then it goes on up from there. So at a minimum $25 donation, I have a goal to raise $5,000. I can't do that alone. And so I'm reaching out to you, my listeners. And if you feel compelled to contribute, again, minimum $25 if you want to do more, that's fine. But all the proceeds aside from a credit card transaction fee, all the proceeds go to cover the expenses of sending these breast cancer survivors on this amazing vacation where they can kind of restore themselves, relax, get re-centered and begin to put their life back together and get back on track. And I would be grateful if you would participate and support me in this. And I'm going to be posting some social videos along the way. You'll join me on my journey of participating as I kind of design my own bra and come up with a theme. And I don't know what I'm doing yet. I'm bouncing back and forth between Captain America and Elvis and a Las Vegas theme or I've seen a variety of other bras where they do them with their just all these like studded jewels and one person wore wings and I don't know, maybe I'll wear a cape. Who knows, I'm trying to work it all out in my head right now and I'm definitely going to have somebody help me design this bra because it's not usually my forte or air of expertise. So and we're going to have a great time to participating in this organization and so you will get to see this be documented along my journey here to raising funds and awareness for these organizations. And so if you would be so kind as to participate and share what you feel compelled to share your donation amount, I'm going to put a link in the show notes. So wherever you're listening to this on your mobile phone, go to the shit, the episode show, go to the show notes, there'll be a link right in there. You'll be taken to a very simple form where obviously you just submit your information and you know, choose the amount that you want to donate. And once again, I said my goal is to raise $5,000 and to do that in the month of September. So I'm grateful for you if you choose to participate. And if you do, please DM me on Instagram and just use the word bras, the RAS, right? Just type in bras and then what I'm going to be doing is a special one off training session just for you guys who were willing to participate in this and more details to come on that. But if you donate and then you know, confirm that you didn't, you know, just type in bras into that. I don't want to know how much it donated because it's not about how much you donate. It's about the collective effort of all of you, the listeners with a goal to reach $5,000. So once again, link is in the show notes for that. Please click through, tap through your mobile phone, your desktop wherever you're at. Go to the episode itself, which they'll be a link to in this and please share the amount that you feel compelled to share and I'd love to have your support along for the journey. And that's it. I just wanted to put out that one ask for you this week and obviously more good episodes and stuff are coming. And I appreciate you very much and thank you for listening and deciding to participate and help support me in this wonderful cause of raising some money and awareness from some people who could really use it.
