Healing the People and the Land with Dr Demarra West at Hearth Summit Detroit

And definitely that group is definitely a mix of people, even when you look at the agenda, as far as like backgrounds, interest, experience, wisdom, the paths they walk, definitely intersecting with the people that I know.

from that agenda too, but still different ways of the way that we're expressing ourselves to tap into the different, what would I say? The different passions that we all have through, through I think tapping into that so much of it, at least my lens of the world is, you know, aligning yourself in passion and, And then what you're most motivated by would truly like be a path that now you're going to move in more of a space of already being fulfilled just from the act of as opposed to like looking at life is a destination as opposed to a journey.

Yeah.

And we can really equate it to when we think about networking, right, with intention, networking with purpose.

I train people on.

In fact, my blog this week is going to be called something to the effect of that people are the real currency.

Right.

Because people are worth investing in.

If we invest in relationships and we are really intentional and consistent about that, we don't have to wait until we meet someone.

We poured in.

We've poured in.

And because we've poured in that the moment that we have a need, the support's going to actually be available to us.

Because we're actually not meant to be on an island anywhere curating the things that we curate.

But so oftentimes folks like me, folks like you, we are kind of grinding as a solopreneur.

We may have people that, you know, support us necessarily, you know, but we're not always actively bringing people together in a way to help us to build more expeditiously?

I can definitely say for me, so much of it is where things lie.

And this is where that alignment kind of comes and lands.

It reminds me of back when, boy, boy, and actually it's funny, I'm running reels with Ashley now, but one of the vocalists from General Population when we had a band.

Mm-hmm.

but understanding the concept you're catching the wave.

And that's kind of how I looked at a lot of the music stuff.

You may catch a wave and you may ride that wave and be like, damn, we've

been on this wave for like six years.

And it may

sometimes be six months and then you swim around again and then catch that wave again.
