But Harriet, can you start by introducing, I have introduced you a little bit to the audience, but can you introduce yourself to people so they really know not just what you do, but who you are?
1:59
Yeah, okay.

So I'm from Hamilton, originally, for my sins.
2:03
I live in Dunedin, been here for about 23 years, and I am a full-time solo mother, first and foremost, out of two fabulous teenage girls.
2:16
And I have done a lot of things in my lifetime.

Originally, I trained as a classical singer, so I used to sing opera, and then that dream just sort of faded, and I also owned a children's and baby store for about 11 years here in Dunedin and that closed in 2019 and then I've sort of been dabbling in music theatre and the odd bit of performing as well, but somehow, someway, I'm not even sure exactly how, since about then, about 2019 to now, I've built this career as someone who does a whole range of things.
2:59
I clocked it pretty early on that most people would rather die than speak in front of a room full of people like most people find that absolutely like their worst nightmare and I realized that that is my absolute happy place and I'm really comfortable doing that and I was like you know what I should make money out of that because most people yeah would really rather not do that so saw it as a an asset that has value or a skill that has value and I've just sort of deep dived since then.
