The word motivational speaker is such an overused, stupid hashtag. Thank you. It's horrible. Thank you. I hate using it. I hate saying it. I hate these like trendy hashtaggy words. Right.
But like, I don't even know the euphemism to describe what you talk about because I can go through and I don't ever do this. But the reason why I even like was so like adamant to get Lisa on this show.
And thank you for your persistency.
Like, how can I not be? It's because whenever I saw like randomly one time I was on YouTube and something that you did showed up just randomly and it was so powerful and so good. It was this clip that you were talking about, like someone's perception of you. Ain't none of your business. Is none of your business. And that I was like, wow.
And the way it's not even what you said, it's how you said it was so powerful.
