TRANSCRIPT 🔗

"Looking for a tangible love keep serving others. Welcome to the Mastering Purpose podcast, my name is Nick and this is episode number 10.

Okay, so I've almost done it again. I've almost made an entire year since I recorded another podcast the last time I was talking on a microphone it was May of 2019 and here reset March 13th Friday the 13th that is March 13th 2020. I really got to keep doing this more often than once every 12 months, although I did be the last time because the last time it was almost actually was two years since my last podcast so.

It's 11:50 at night and.I'm the only one up so I thought why not record another podcast and I need to figure out how to make a schedule hopefully I'm not doing this and the year 2021 because it's already weird enough to say 2020 anyway, all right, so I've got a few things that I feel like I want to put somewhere in the world audio wise first thing is the coronavirus.

I feel like I've said that about 20 times today and.It's really starting to put pressure on me because I realized I was at the store today with a line that.Was at least 30 feet long full of 10 or 12 carts.Of people getting food and I felt like.

My primal fears were kicking in because I was grabbing food grabbing non-perishables and teaching graceling about non-perishables and how to buy when. You need to stock up and I'm not even an expert I mean close to an expert on that but I did find myself getting things that I knew would last for a long time and it was fun but it was also a little bit fearful because for anyone that doesn't know or listening to this later the coronavirus has been declared a pandemic and the world and so for my understanding of paying demic is when there's an outbreak that occurs in multiple parts of the world geographically and and,Epidemic is when there's an outbreak that happens that's more centralized so I'm not an expert in that but that's from what I know that's what it's been declared and then today President Trump issued a national emergency which gives everyone as far as like private sectors and other parts of the government gives them access to almost 50 billion dollars of funding to be able to fight this because obviously we're not prepared if we're having the tap into the resources that.

We have a stash somewhere from the government. Anyway, so it's I feel like it's a really big deal. It's being taken lightly and so the the thing is you're supposed to be isolated from one another which I see.Causing a lot of issues because we need relationship and we need to be around people and if we're isolating from one another we're gonna start getting lonely and we're gonna start getting depressed and we're gonna start feeling isolated because we're not around other people and since I believe that's what God designed us it's gonna be very harmful for our planet and for society.

Things have been down/crazy/depressing/up/planting and a ton of other emotions over the last 2 years.

I can't believe it's actually been more than 2 years since publishing my last episode, but here's to [at least] another 8 episodes!

This episode includes a few points about us being down in the dumps for so long, how it affected us, my diagnosis/medication and an update on how the kid's have been.
