... s- uh, we, we, we got, uh, onto other conversations.
24:38
Actually, you know, um, he was, uh, when we originally met, he was up here working.
24:43
Okay? And then moved back to the US after his work was over here.
24:49
And at the time, I hadn't really, you know, I didn't think anything of it.
24:53
Of course, he moved back.
24:54
He's not into me.

Can you speak about that a little bit?
15:52
Yeah.
15:52
And, you know, texting.
15:54
And when we first started talking and reconnected, it was thanks to Facebook.
16:00
It was more like, and now we've got each other's phone numbers, but it was like, okay, we had our first FaceTime because that's how we dated because it was at a distance.
16:08
And I thought it wasn't dating at the time.
16:09
We were just friends.
16:10
And then a week later he's texting and I thought to myself, oh my gosh, this guy's a texter.
17:46
Are you able and capable of transitioning interests as you build your community of people that want to date, learn about dating, learn about cock-blocking themselves to building a jewelry business? Absolutely.

Right.
2:19
So then you've got the emotions that come with that.
2:24
which is a lot of, you know, people will procrastinate because they're worried about how much of their money they're spending.
2:29
Am I getting the right deal? Is this diamond exactly what it should be? So they're seeking certainty.
2:37
So there's all sorts of emotions that I was able to witness in the decision-making process.
2:45
And my job was to really ensure that people were informed because that's why I got in the jewelry industry in the first place.
2:52
There's a lot of misinformation out there in this industry.
