| 0:00.0 | I hate the word networking in the first place. It sounds so transactional. And I think good networks |
| 0:06.1 | are just relationships. Welcome. You're on air with Ella where we share simple strategies |
| 0:15.0 | and tips from people who are doing something better than we are, whether it's wellness or |
| 0:20.0 | relationships to just living better |

| 1:38.7 | different interests. And they're having a little bit of trouble sort of clarifying what's next for them. |
| 1:46.0 | The reason, one of the reasons that I wanted to speak with you is because you are the self-described |
| 1:51.7 | human Venn diagram. Love that expression. And I would love by way of introduction for you to |
| 1:58.5 | tell us what that means for you. Who are you and what do you do? |
| 2:03.3 | That's a great question. And I love that you separated. Who am I and what do I do? Those are |
