So can you tell our followers a little bit about that philosophy and what that means?

Yeah.

So Summer of Outside is something that I've done with my community for four years.

And it's basically the idea that, you know, we are so phone focused and no one knows that better than me.

I I think summer is an amazing time to reconnect with the things that make us human, the fun that we have offline, and just really connecting with people in a non-digital way.

So Summer of Outside is about that, but it's also just about saying yes to things.

And if your friend from work says, oh, there's a barbecue from this person I know, you know, even though you're tired, you're going to say yes.

Can you tell me what convinced you to make that switch?

Yeah.

And s- you know, in my 20s I was just seeking validation.

I just wanted validation.

I didn't...

I wasn't even like, "Oh, does this person like me?" Like, "Am I having a good time?" Like, "Do I feel seen?" It was just like, "I need to, like, have this validation of this person liking me back," and, you know.

And so I, I try as much as possible to share my experiences and, and, and just, like-You know, encourage them to think about things and to think about themselves more kindly.

And yeah, that's what I want.

What, why do you think it took off that way?
