So is everyone actually smokers?

Right, okay.

So I'll tell you this.

I walked in and the first thing they asked me was, do you vape? And I went, no.

And they all cheered.

And the reason they all cheered is there's a vape queue.

You're only allowed one person out at a time to smoke, snuzz or vape.

So when you guys are eating, it's just like sort of little snacks and treats that you're making.

Well, good afternoon, brethren.

Happy Sabbath.

I hope you guys are doing well.

And before I get started, just let me go ahead and just give you the title of the sermonette.

It is Beyond Hello.

Beyond Hello.

difference in price between a renovation and building a new

school.

Well, right now, we would estimate that building a new school like this would be somewhere between $250 and $300 million dollars.

And we think this is about an $85 million renovation overall.

So there's a huge difference in savings to the taxpayers.

And we feel good about that.

We know that every area of this building will be touched to some degree.

talk to me about what the staging process has been, all those portables out front, and what's the plan for allowing this to go a little faster than it might if we were restricted to

Okay.

So I've been doing it for a long time and, um, kind of analyzing why I am the way I am and everything else, and I've always been a real, a real high achiever.

Um, and I think when I was young, I remember it like it was yesterday, my, uh, mom and my stepdad g- they gave me this book, and they were like, "If you, uh, study this book, you might get into the school that we're gonna take you to." And I was about six, and I remember being really good at understanding this book, and I got a lot of praise and a lot of validation, and it was the first time I remember really being seen by my mom especially, and also my stepdad, and I was getting lots of validation.

And at this point, my real dad wasn't really around as much, um, 'cause we didn't see him from the age of six to the age of 12, which was a big gap.

And I just think, looking back, that I used achieving as a form of receiving love and validation, and it's just quite obvious to see now across all of my life that I've always been pushing myself for more and more and more.

And now I'm finally getting to the point in my life where I'm thinking, "I don't need to keep proving myself.

I am enough." And it's a hard, it's a hard lesson to really learn, but I think it started from those early ages.

Where does that come from, this connection to little Scott?

Scott, talk to us about the way that we rely on our trades to keep the Jordan School District running.

Yeah, thank you.

You know, we're service providers, and we deeply care about our teachers and our students and their well-being, and there's just an awful lot to get to.

Like I said, we have well over a million square feet in the school district, and so...

All of our trades, we rely on them to fix everything from air conditioning to, you know, the lights go out, plumbing emergencies, especially this time of year.

HVAC is a very important thing in the middle of the summer.

And if you don't have any electricity, then, you know, you don't have any HVAC.

A little more.

This is crazy.

Go back, because you like details.

So go back to Rick Beato.

2006, we do Carolina.

We got our own version, and that just leads us around to Carolina.

It's just a little local band for about two or three years.

Then we come here to Nashville.

did one therapy session, and then...

Um, and they, and you know, we're talking some blokes were, you know, Mahaki's 73 years old and c- to come at that age with an open book keen to, to learn more, I think that's, yeah, kudos to those guys 'cause yeah, y- you know, they've been fishing for a long, long time and done things a lo- Um, yeah, I just, I just thought it was a really organic experience that, um, yeah, I j- I, I'm still really buzzing and, uh, yeah, it just needs to happen again and again because it's, it's so valuable for any- everyone that come and I think some of our guests will probably wanna come back because they know that cooking and fish care is endless and it's, it's an ongoing thing and, you know, once you've got it embedded in y- in your, your, your programming, then it's just part of life anyways and that's what, uh, the, the conversation was like even when we weren't fishing and having beers or whatever, it was all, you know, steered back to that and yeah, I just, yeah, I think it was really well put together and obviously room to improve, but, but we'll get that, um, feedback from everyone and, and make it e- even better.

Yeah.

It's so true.

I mean, everyone, everyone, like you said, turned up with a different, um, purpose or a different intention and different reason why they, why they were there.

Certain guys had these or learned a process when it came to the fish care or cooking or whatever, and you, you could just see as the week went on, everyone was just...

There was just a real positive buzz around it.

It's an awesome location, Papakura in the Solomon Islands is, you know...

So it's just, yeah, it's, it's, it's wild.

Several years ago, a well-known orchestra was preparing for a major performance.

The musicians were exceptional, highly trained, deeply skilled, each one confident in their own ability.

But during rehearsal, something went wrong.

Something wasn't quite right.

The violins pressed ahead, convinced that they carried the melody.

The brass played louder, determined that they were going to be heard.
