Transcripts
What does loving your neighbor actually look like? This
Speaker:is Journey with Care, where curious Canadians get inspired to
Speaker:love others well through real life stories and honest
Speaker:conversations.
Speaker:I think the thing you're most excited about is me being
Speaker:on. You don't have to do all the intros.
Speaker:Which is my first three words? So if you don't
Speaker:know what we're talking about here, I'm Johan Heer on
Speaker:with Wendy on with the Journey with Care podcast,
Speaker:And I'm gonna be joining as more of
Speaker:a presence on the podcast as a secondary host.
Speaker:I'm so looking forward to it. Yes. And if if you caught that that those
Speaker:first few, banters, I often have hard
Speaker:time starting my intros, and you've been, coaching me on how to do
Speaker:podcasting. And so, I'm glad that you're on this side of the mic
Speaker:now. Yeah. So it's gonna be a little bit more fun just to have
Speaker:another perspective, and maybe I can bring Wendy down sometimes
Speaker:when she's on with a guest and, you know, she takes over, that sort of
Speaker:things. Good luck with that. Yeah. You might have noticed that we are calling this
Speaker:series Jet Party. We want to do something a
Speaker:little bit lighter because we've had some heavy topics, and we got some
Speaker:heavy topics coming. And because I'm jumping on as a secondary host
Speaker:for more episodes, it's not gonna be every episode. Sometimes one of us will be
Speaker:away. But for more episodes, we wanna just give our
Speaker:listeners an opportunity to get to know us a little bit better, being able to
Speaker:connect with us as hosts. And along with that, we
Speaker:created this group forum on our website for our listeners
Speaker:to come on and chat with us, ask questions, get to know other
Speaker:listeners, and have those conversations. So you can already check that out
Speaker:and join that group discussion at journey with care dotca.
Speaker:That is up and running, and we're excited about that. So
Speaker:Yeah. I really hope people, jump on that because we do
Speaker:listen to our listeners. We do read every comment that they they
Speaker:write, and and I'm looking forward to maybe getting some of the
Speaker:questions that, some of you in the audience are are listening to and might have
Speaker:for us. It's gonna be good. And just to make it a little bit more
Speaker:return for their labor. If either of them falls down, Wendy,
Speaker:one can help the other up. I fell yesterday. And
Speaker:where were you? You weren't being very spiritual. I I tripped on my stairs.
Speaker:But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them out. So
Speaker:we got each other to help each other out. So sorry for myself. Yep. Yeah.
Speaker:It's often used, misquoted for a wedding text. I'm glad
Speaker:that, we are both happily married to different people. But,
Speaker:it is important that we work together. And I'm a little nervous actually
Speaker:because we haven't, rehearsed this, haven't seen each other's questions.
Speaker:So this jeopardy game is you're gonna get the authentic
Speaker:us. Yeah. And back to the group discussion, it's called the Sojourner's
Speaker:group. That's what we've called it. So if you join the group, you are an
Speaker:official Sojourner of Journey with Care. Anyway, we're
Speaker:gonna be splitting this up into 3 episodes. It's gonna go back and
Speaker:forth for the first two episodes, questions that Wendy and I have prepared
Speaker:for each other without knowing the questions in advance.
Speaker:And then for the 3rd episode, this is where our listeners
Speaker:come in. We need you to submit questions. It could be for us personally.
Speaker:It could be fun questions. It could be for Care Impact. It could be about
Speaker:the podcast, previous conversations. Anything that's just
Speaker:been bothering you or you just wanna know a little bit more
Speaker:about us, you can submit those questions in the Sojourners group, or
Speaker:we also have a link on our website again to submit questions for
Speaker:that specific episode. But you need to have your questions
Speaker:in before April 13th
Speaker:2024 dating the podcast here. But please submit those
Speaker:questions so that we have something to talk about in the 3rd episode, and
Speaker:it should be fun. Alright. We are gonna move
Speaker:into our back and forth discussion. First of all,
Speaker:maybe we should just introduce ourselves. Maybe some people don't even
Speaker:know a little bit about us. I mean, Wendy, probably a
Speaker:little bit more because she's been on the podcast and kinda throwing tidbits
Speaker:here and there on her conversation. So you might already have a bit of a
Speaker:connection to Wendy. I've been on for a few episodes. You would have
Speaker:learned about my daughter Danica. We did a series of
Speaker:3 episodes there. So, yeah, I have 4
Speaker:kids. I have a son who's 17, almost 18, graduating
Speaker:this year. My daughter is turning 16. She's 15.
Speaker:And a son who's turning 14, who's 13. So, yeah,
Speaker:everybody turns a year older every year. So You too.
Speaker:Hey? Yeah. But they all have birthdays coming up. And my wife, we've been
Speaker:married for 21 years. And yeah. Oh, you
Speaker:beat us. My wife, Corey, she hasn't been on the podcast yet, but, yeah, maybe
Speaker:someday. We're gonna have to get her, on here sometime. I would love
Speaker:to to get her story. Yeah. For my family, for
Speaker:those of you that don't know me, my name's Wendy Park, and I'm the,
Speaker:cofounder for Care Impact along with my husband, Harold. He has been
Speaker:on the podcast once before. So he and I started
Speaker:Care Impact, out of just a love for the church
Speaker:and, for our community and across Canada,
Speaker:seeing the church in community. But we have a bustling
Speaker:family of we're 10 people together. I have 6
Speaker:kids, most of them older. The youngest is, like, still a
Speaker:teenager and, and up, and 2 grandkids.
Speaker:We live in here in Winnipeg on Treaty 1 territory. And
Speaker:what else is there to know about me, Johan? I guess they're gonna find out
Speaker:in this game. I don't know what kind of questions you've asked me. Say what
Speaker:I do at Care Impact or anything. I mean, I've been there for, what, a
Speaker:year and a half now, I think. Yeah. Just over that. I'm producing
Speaker:the podcast with Care Impact. I am the content development
Speaker:specialist for the last year and a half, helping work on the
Speaker:LMS to learning and equipping online,
Speaker:creating the school, which I've I've done in my previous employment
Speaker:where I where I built up an internship and our
Speaker:school and our online classes and all that sort of thing, which I'm bringing into
Speaker:Care Impact. So let's get into our jeopardy party. Jeep
Speaker:party. Alright. Let's do this.
Speaker:Okay. Well, I think we should probably explain the 4
Speaker:categories for today, so it's not like classic jeopardy. We're
Speaker:gonna ask the question, and the other person's gonna answer. These are questions that we
Speaker:haven't, shared with each other, but there's 4 categories,
Speaker:from 100 to 500 value and easy
Speaker:to harder. The first category is fun and whimsy.
Speaker:The second category is faith and purpose, and the third category
Speaker:is would you rather, and the 4th category is learning. And so I'm gonna maybe
Speaker:turn category is learning. And so I'm gonna
Speaker:maybe turn it over to Johan. You can choose your first
Speaker:category, for whichever dollar amount that
Speaker:you want. Alright. Let's go let's just start with something fun. Let's
Speaker:go fun and whimsy for 300. Alright.
Speaker:Let me reveal this because I have not seen it. So,
Speaker:Johan, fun and whimsy for 300. Can you share a guilty
Speaker:pleasure TV show or movie that you enjoy?
Speaker:Well, I have to say I love
Speaker:the Indiana Jones movies. Ever since I was a little kid, it it's
Speaker:always fed that that adventure part of me
Speaker:and my love for history. So growing up, like, I loved
Speaker:history. I would like, I was on the search for the Ark of the Covenant
Speaker:with my head in the in books because of Raiders of the Lost Ark. So,
Speaker:like, I love that stuff Okay. And The Office. Oh, good to know. And The
Speaker:Office, you said. I have still not watched that series. I I it just
Speaker:bores me. Wendy, what's your first one you wanna pick
Speaker:here? Okay. I'm going to I'm gonna get spiritual
Speaker:here. I'm gonna do faith and purpose for 100, please.
Speaker:How do you define living life on purpose? That's a
Speaker:deep one. Oh, sheesh. That should be a $500
Speaker:one. How do you define living life
Speaker:on purpose? K. You're gonna cut out the silence.
Speaker:Right? This is a hard one.
Speaker:Well, when I think of life on purpose, I think of intentionality. Are we
Speaker:just letting life slip through our fingers, or are we gonna actually do some
Speaker:things? And so for me, living life on purpose is being
Speaker:intentional about what I do, even doing hard things, whether that's
Speaker:learning or traveling or saying goodbyes or having
Speaker:new hellos. I think that to me is living life on purpose,
Speaker:and it also has to do with knowing who I am and who I am
Speaker:becoming and who god has created me to be and aligning
Speaker:those choices to that. We'll go with that. Okay.
Speaker:If our listeners have more questions on that specifically, journey
Speaker:with care dotca, and you'll get that in the 3rd episode. Alright.
Speaker:Let's go with learning for 200. I'm teaching you a really
Speaker:complicated board game. So if you had to choose between
Speaker:reading the instructions, listening to the instructions,
Speaker:watching me play it, or doing it, simply playing it, how would you
Speaker:learn best? This one hits close to home
Speaker:because I have family members that love board games,
Speaker:and explaining complicated board games to me makes me wanna
Speaker:run and hide. They I usually need warning ahead
Speaker:of time so I can go on YouTube and watch how the game is played.
Speaker:So I would have to say watching and then also just Okay.
Speaker:Getting on with it, playing this chitter chatter. Yeah. None
Speaker:of that. Let's get at her. Yeah. Yeah. No. I'm with you. You you taught
Speaker:me a board game at our last, staff retreat, and, I learned by
Speaker:doing actually. I don't think you liked that game, though. It's too
Speaker:it it wasn't black and white for you. I did. I did
Speaker:because it challenged me. Dixit. Dixit. Yep. Was
Speaker:the game, and I actually bought that game for my family after for
Speaker:Christmas. So it just took me a little while to warm up to it. It
Speaker:was way too whimsical for me and abstract, but, you know, I'm I'm
Speaker:willing to learn new things. My wife hates that game. Oh, well,
Speaker:we don't play it anymore for that matter, but, alright, I'm
Speaker:gonna go for would you rather for
Speaker:300, please. Would you rather engage in a
Speaker:deep theological discussion or participate in vibrant
Speaker:worship? Well, I would I do
Speaker:like good worship music and being in a service
Speaker:where there's good worship in that way, but I am
Speaker:gonna lean towards, theological discussion any
Speaker:day. It it depends though who I'm talking with, but I I
Speaker:do enjoy theology. I do discussing things not just for the
Speaker:cerebral exercise, but I I could even be devil's advocate
Speaker:in challenging where we go with our discussion
Speaker:and and understanding the depths of God. I think there's always
Speaker:a mystery there that intrigues me. So, yeah, I'm
Speaker:definitely leaning towards the theological discussion. Alright.
Speaker:I I bet you would do the music because you're a musician. I really enjoy
Speaker:a good theological discussion. Me and my son go and walks, and we duke it
Speaker:out all the time talking about theology and videos we've watched on theology. We
Speaker:love that stuff. As far as worship, yeah, I'm a worship leader too,
Speaker:but theology is great. You can't have good worship without good
Speaker:theology. So What I don't enjoy about theological discussions
Speaker:is if we're just really rigid on when we say
Speaker:theology, are we talking just white theology? Because that's often what we reduce
Speaker:it to. Or are we looking at liberation theology and all these other
Speaker:different ways and perspectives and world views? That's what intrigues me
Speaker:because there that's what challenges me to get out of my white box
Speaker:and encompass more ways of looking at who god is and what the bible
Speaker:says. So that's what I mean by by theology, not just
Speaker:western theology. Alright. I'm gonna try a would you rather
Speaker:for 400. Alright. Would you rather
Speaker:retire early and enjoy life on the beach or work as long as you
Speaker:possibly can in what you love to do? Definitely
Speaker:the second one. I I don't even enjoy the beach, and
Speaker:maybe I I don't know how much I have set aside for retirement anyway,
Speaker:so that's not really an option. You did sign your
Speaker:life away with Care Impact, I hope. If you wanna support our work, careimpact.ca.
Speaker:There we go. Shameless plug here. Okay. I'm gonna go fun and
Speaker:whimsy for 100. Alright. If
Speaker:you were a superhero, what would your superpower
Speaker:be? Oh, goodness. Now I'm gonna reveal some of my childhood upbringing.
Speaker:I was very sheltered, and I didn't really watch TV or really get into
Speaker:it even when I could. You can invent 1. Oh, I could
Speaker:I like inventing. Okay. So I think I would love
Speaker:to be I'm a networker, and there's a lot of times where
Speaker:I'd like to be many places at once. Because I get FOMO. I I
Speaker:like to be at a lot of places not because I feel like I need
Speaker:to be at all those places, but I want to. I love networking and being
Speaker:part of some of the things that are happening across Canada.
Speaker:And I do like a good travel too, so I'd love to jump all over
Speaker:the globe. So, yeah, that's my answer. And when I look at your calendar,
Speaker:sometimes looks looks like you are omnipresent. So
Speaker:I try. I try. How is she in this city and this city all on
Speaker:the same day? Does it make any sense? Yeah. No. I I get around.
Speaker:I I make it work. Alright. Faith and
Speaker:purpose for 300. Okay. Let's
Speaker:see if you got an easier one. I I kinda shied away after that one.
Speaker:You you scared me after the first one. Okay. Faith and
Speaker:Purpose for 300. Can you share a favorite bible
Speaker:verse or quote that resonates with you? Oh,
Speaker:I'll I'll do quote and a and a verse. My favorite quote
Speaker:is probably by Tozer and most people know it. The first thing
Speaker:that comes to your mind when you think of god is the most important thing
Speaker:about you. That is Mhmm. My favorite quote by
Speaker:Tozer. And my favorite verse is actually
Speaker:an obscure one, which I've kind of run with for a few
Speaker:decades now. It's Amos 5 4, a part of it. It's
Speaker:simply seek me and live. Seek the Lord and
Speaker:live. So Oh, I like that. Amos
Speaker:isn't usually the the quotable that people come up with so that that you
Speaker:get, an extra point for originality. Alright. I'm gonna
Speaker:go with faith and purpose for 200, please.
Speaker:Can you recall a moment where your faith was tested and how
Speaker:did you overcome it? That's a deep one. Well, I can recall
Speaker:many moments where my faith was tested and how I
Speaker:overcame it. Many of you will already know I'm an Enneagram
Speaker:8, and I love a good challenge. And sometimes I walk into these challenges,
Speaker:and and those are the things that have tested me. But if you're wanting an
Speaker:example well, there's many examples that I could think of,
Speaker:but I I think my mind jumps to the time where my
Speaker:husband and I really heard from the Lord about
Speaker:quitting our jobs that we really loved in in ministry, and
Speaker:to let go of something that you actually really enjoy that gives
Speaker:life and purpose, and yet he's called you into something deeper,
Speaker:That was a test of faith for me to not know what I
Speaker:was jumping into. It's not like we had Care Impact on the back
Speaker:burner, a a glossy brochure in the making. We didn't know
Speaker:what it was that we were jumping into when traveling across
Speaker:Canada, just god chasing it and seeing what is this that we were to
Speaker:do and, seeing how god clearly revealed
Speaker:himself through that. Not only that, but the practicality of
Speaker:giving up 2 incomes when you're raising a family, it took
Speaker:active faith and just trusting in god. But I've learned through
Speaker:that. I've grown through that, and I often refer to it because now
Speaker:it gives me more boldness to do other crazy things. When god says it, he
Speaker:provides and and how he's been so faithful. Can you believe it? It's been 10
Speaker:years since we we've started this journey with Care Impact,
Speaker:and god has been so faithful in in adding people
Speaker:to our team and in our resources. I just can't describe
Speaker:how faithful he has been, but, I definitely was
Speaker:tested because Harold and I are not that type of
Speaker:spontaneous people to just simply do that. But
Speaker:Especially with the family. Yeah. And it it tests me actually now
Speaker:as I do a lot of fundraising and, and needing to to bring in
Speaker:resources to add to our team. The faith journey for me
Speaker:right now is that it's not only my family on the line. I
Speaker:have other people's families that are dependent on none of us
Speaker:are here, I don't think, for the money, but we are
Speaker:dependent on Care Impact flourishing so
Speaker:that we can provide for our family and do the work that god has called
Speaker:for us. So so now I feel a different kind of weight as I
Speaker:look at how do I support and grow our team as we have
Speaker:more positions to come that need filling in. So I'm like, k. You want
Speaker:this to happen? So we create the job description and the god stories that
Speaker:come out. You're one of those examples that that really was a
Speaker:response to to prayer and you heard God's voice and,
Speaker:we keep growing that way. Amen. Alright. We haven't
Speaker:had any 5 100 yet. Even though when I put these questions together, I
Speaker:didn't put them in any particular order of difficulty.
Speaker:I could tell. It's pretty random. But
Speaker:let's go fun and whimsy again. We'll go for 500.
Speaker:Fun and whimsy for 500, it is. If you could swap
Speaker:lives with any fictional character for a day, who would it be?
Speaker:Well, that is a hard one though. I would say Indiana Jones
Speaker:because it's my favorite movie. But Indiana Jones. Yeah. He's
Speaker:a true inspiration. But, you know, I tried
Speaker:creating whips as a kid so I can swing from things, and it it always
Speaker:ends a disaster. So, like, I you try to swing
Speaker:and you fall on your back. It doesn't work the same way. Well, I'm I'm
Speaker:gonna go for, fun and whimsy for 200, please. Oh,
Speaker:I like this question. If you can only eat one food
Speaker:for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Speaker:Oh, this is a great question. I have
Speaker:different genres of food depending on who's the cook
Speaker:is maybe a a curve in in that answer.
Speaker:But I would have to say if they were a good Mennonite cook, I would
Speaker:want varenikiya and schmonfat for the rest of my life. Like, I
Speaker:could live on that. I would probably die sooner too because of a heart attack,
Speaker:but it would be vranikil, which is like Mennonite pierogis
Speaker:with the the cottage cheese in there and then the cream gravy.
Speaker:Oh my goodness. I could eat that. If I was in Korea, it would be
Speaker:dolsup bibimbap. If I was in Ethiopia, it would be
Speaker:definitely injera and what? A good cup of coffee.
Speaker:Yeah. Depends which country, but, right now, I'm feeling the
Speaker:varenikiya. If that sounds good to our listeners, I think we
Speaker:still might have some recipe books out there available
Speaker:to make it My mom's recipe, she has it in the cookbook.
Speaker:Let me know. Alright. Let's do,
Speaker:would you rather for 100?
Speaker:Would you rather for 100? Would you rather fundraise
Speaker:or speak at a conference? There were 2 things
Speaker:that I don't like doing.
Speaker:2 things that I do. Honestly, I think I'd
Speaker:rather speak at a conference. I don't like the stage very much,
Speaker:but maybe it's a control thing. I have control over
Speaker:what I say at a conference, but I don't have control on whether
Speaker:someone gives or donates. And convincing
Speaker:people is not True. Is not a fun thing. It's
Speaker:just easier to speak for. I think I think fundraising, I feel a
Speaker:little more vulnerable there than if I'm speaking. I can
Speaker:be vulnerable from the stage. No problem. But
Speaker:fundraising, I think that's a Canadian thing too. It means that we
Speaker:need other people to join us, and there's, it requires
Speaker:a dose of humility to and I think there's good ways of doing it.
Speaker:You do fundraising. I do fundraising. But,
Speaker:it's not easy when we ask for money. We but we do
Speaker:want partnership for sure. It's my turn. Right? So I'm
Speaker:gonna do would you rather for 200, please?
Speaker:Would you rather participate in a lively Sunday church service
Speaker:or a quiet spiritual retreat in nature? That's
Speaker:an easy one. Easy for you. See,
Speaker:I I like the omnipresence. I'd wanna do both. I
Speaker:do like both, but right now,
Speaker:I could definitely go for this quiet spiritual retreat in
Speaker:nature. I'm an extrovert, but I deeply love
Speaker:nature and just being in the quiet, maybe because I live in a lively
Speaker:household and work networking with people all day. So
Speaker:right now, I'm feeling the retreat in nature, definitely.
Speaker:Being by myself. Is that weird as an extrovert? I
Speaker:like I could really hermit. I did that for holidays this last
Speaker:year. I I had a silent retreat in Cuba,
Speaker:with loud Cuban music, but it was all by myself. It was wonderful.
Speaker:Okay. Your turn, Johan. What what's it gonna be? Let's keep it
Speaker:rolling. Learning for 400. Okay. This is fun. A
Speaker:rich uncle just offered to pay for a learning experience.
Speaker:K. You should get him to, support you. What is one thing
Speaker:that you would love to learn if he paid for it?
Speaker:How to easily fundraise?
Speaker:No. How to hire a fundraiser?
Speaker:I mean, I've always wanted to take the
Speaker:podcast engineering course. I'm pretty good at what I do. I'm a
Speaker:professional. Engineer. But if you Do you like to
Speaker:do more? Yeah. Act actually, you know what? I would I would say
Speaker:maybe business because it's the business side of things which I'm
Speaker:kind of learning on my own. Mhmm. And with
Speaker:the enhancements with AI and all this stuff, I like, you
Speaker:gotta learn how to pivot in this business pretty quickly too.
Speaker:So probably running the business side of things. I mean,
Speaker:I I only do it part time as just
Speaker:to supplement my work at Care Impact, but it's still something I wanna get
Speaker:better at. So k. Well, now that we're on the learning
Speaker:theme, I'm gonna stick with that column as well. I'm gonna do learning for
Speaker:100, please. What is one hobby you would love
Speaker:to learn to do? Oh, gee. This is hard, actually, because my husband
Speaker:Harold always tells me I need to find a hobby, and I always tell him,
Speaker:like, well, Care Impact is my hobby. I love doing this. I wake up every
Speaker:day thinking, wow. I get to do this for a job, but this should be
Speaker:really a 500 question for me because sometimes I
Speaker:don't see the point of a hobby. I'm not judging people who have them,
Speaker:but, I think I'd like to learn how to fly a plane, actually.
Speaker:So if I had a hobby that I could go on a Saturday and
Speaker:just fly around somewhere, that would be really good.
Speaker:And that would be actually very practical too. See, every hobby has to have some
Speaker:practicality with me of, like, it could get me places too. Right?
Speaker:I could, It's you wanting to be omnipresent. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker:It's it's helping me towards a bigger goal. Yeah. So flying
Speaker:a plane. Alright. Faith and purpose for 400.
Speaker:Can you share a moment when you felt a sense of fulfillment
Speaker:in living out your purpose? Well, that's that
Speaker:should be 1,000. That's a tough one. Yeah. That's a that's a
Speaker:deep one. I hope that's how I
Speaker:feel when I meet the Lord. Mhmm.
Speaker:That I fulfilled the purpose in bringing this glory. Answer.
Speaker:Jesus is the answer? I'm
Speaker:gonna close off faith and purpose. We have one question
Speaker:left for 5 100. So faith and purpose for 500, please.
Speaker:Who or what inspires you to keep going when things get
Speaker:tough besides Kathy?
Speaker:Yes. She she is an inspiration for me doing all of my admin, which is
Speaker:great. No. This one's easy, actually. Who or what inspires
Speaker:you? I would say the who inspires me to keep going
Speaker:other than the obvious, Jesus, because he got me on this path to begin
Speaker:with. But I have to say the children in my life
Speaker:and those in my community who are in
Speaker:hard places, hands down, they inspire me to keep
Speaker:going when things get tough because it's not easy helping the church
Speaker:and social services and all of these sectors work together and come
Speaker:up with a new way of moving forward in in connecting and equipping
Speaker:the church. Church can be a hard space sometimes to
Speaker:navigate in helping them being effective in community.
Speaker:And when things get really tough, I have to say, but who is this
Speaker:for? I have to say it's worth it when
Speaker:community is created and and those that are marginalized
Speaker:or in hard places get supported because we had some of
Speaker:those tough conversations, had those tough faith moments, and,
Speaker:they're definitely worth it. That justice side of me goes.
Speaker:Awesome. Well, I think we're running out of time for this first episode,
Speaker:so we might just have to skip the rest of these questions. Right?
Speaker:What do you think? Well, we've got more questions for next episode. So
Speaker:let's save some of them. Absolutely. Okay. So for next
Speaker:episode, our categories, they're gonna be we're gonna do another
Speaker:would you rather. We'll do life reflections. We'll do
Speaker:questions on character and community and
Speaker:connection. So still some fun ones to come.
Speaker:Make sure you tune in next week to check those out. And, again, go to
Speaker:our website journey with care dot ca. I think I'm gonna put a big button
Speaker:on there or banner that says send in a question so that you can get
Speaker:those in before April 13th, I think we said, for that episode
Speaker:in a in a few weeks. So next week, we're gonna do part 2 of
Speaker:this one. Get to know us a little bit better. But before that, I wanna
Speaker:do a rapid fire with you, Wendy. You you can do a rapid fire
Speaker:with me next week. For me? But what Okay. Fine. I'm on the hot
Speaker:seat. So quick, really short answers, but here
Speaker:we go. Dogs, cats, or fish? Dogs and cats.
Speaker:Can I say 2? Nope. Gotta pick 1.
Speaker:Caramel and cappuccino. Forgive me, but I'm gonna choose cream, the our dog.
Speaker:K. Beach vacation or mountain retreat?
Speaker:Mountain retreat. Coffee or tea?
Speaker:Definitely coffee. A nod to the Enneagram.
Speaker:Favorite ice cream flavor? Oh, I would
